Quite simple really, Celestia takes a moment to think about what she will do and what she must do in order to preserve her little scaly ball of love in the future, nevertheless, it all comes down to one simple and true answer.

*If you are feeling generous you can buy me a Ko-Fi!!

*One-Shot Momlestia Fic* if you don't like it skip it!

It never meant to happen; it never should have happened. It was obvious that no one knew, nor was ever supposed to know. But becoming a princess gives you some insight, and the reason for my transformation soon became very clear. Princess Luna was dead, and I was to going to give her life.

Everything in Ponyville is fine, in fact, it better then fine. It's great! Everypony is going about their daily lives without a care in the world.

Until a certain Griffon shows up unexpectedly, seeking forgiveness...

Can a yellow Pegasus find it in her heart to forgive her past transgressions?
Can an old friendship be mended?
Will Ponyville accept it's newest inhabitant?

Only time will tell. Because everybody deserves a second chance, don't they?

A/N A remake of the first fanfic I ever wrote, which I didn't upload here for obvious reasons. Mainly because it's really terrible. However, I feel like I've learned enough since then to do it justice.

Rainbow Dash has always held a carefree life. No worries, and surrounded by good friends. However, a visit from an old friend changes that and Rainbow Dash is suddenly left with a package that changes her life forever.

When Twilight Sparkle slipped beneath the covers last night, everything had been fine. She had friends whom she loved, a teacher she adored, and a bright future ahead of her. But when she woke up, her blankets and quilts had been replaced by hospital gowns and padded restraints.

Everything is wrong and nothing makes sense; even her friends have changed. The doctors keep telling her that she is sick, that none of it was real and that it was all in her head. Yet she remembers a life far beyond the hospital walls. She couldn't have made it all up on her own. They must be lying… right?

This story is a sequel to Dashaloo Days: Angry Flight Training

I recommend reading the first two stories first to understand how Dash and Scootaloo got to this point.

Twiligeddon is coming... but the only pony who can save us all is cluelessly being tossed around by the whims of fate, and she can't even fly yet! Impossible choices, spirit breaking challenges, and harsh demands riddle Scootaloo's training on her journey to reach her dreams. Hopefully, Dash can keep her alive long enough to meet her destiny...

In the meantime... Celestia is wrestling with demons of her own by trying to answer a nearly impossible question from Twilight that drove her dearest student on an insane quest to rectify Celestia's most grievous past mistake. Can Celestia keep Twilight alive after she meets her destiny? Lines have been crossed, and there's no going back now! Well, in Celestia's case, at least there's no going back again...

Warning: Scootaloo changes physically and emotionally. There is some parts that can be considered Scootabuse during painful training sessions, tests, and now with 200% more really horrible nightmares as she pushes herself past her limits. Mild blood, but nothing gory.

I started writing this during season 3, but I'm trying to keep it universal. Sadly, the treebrary is gone. So, obviously this story takes place before that horned douche Tyrek blew it up.

I like to use a lot of comedic moments in my stories to contrast the more serious moments. It's meant to be a dramatically sad story, but expect some laughs and an appropriate amount of awkwardness.

This story is a sequel to Dashaloo Days and Scootabow Nights

Have you ever needed to be loved so bad that when you got it, it was painful? Scootaloo has! And when her mom shows back up from deployment for a bit of leave, her idol/big sister Dash faces new challenges with an intense internal conflict, compounded by her meddling friends, suddenly boiling over. Will she be overcome by the new barrage of gut wrenching emotions and insecurities? You bet she will! Will Ponyville still be standing after their spat? Will the barrage of anxiety on Scootaloo ever end as she's caught in the middle?

A dragon suddenly takes up residence near Ponyville. Cirrus Cloud, an ordinary pegasus living in Ponyville who has trouble making friends, ends up meeting it through a strange series of events.

It turns out the dragon is mute, and somehow, Cirrus Cloud manages to befriend it. But how does one be friends with a mute dragon?

Solutions to war, famine, disease and societal collapse are not easily happened upon. For Celestia and Luna, the solution was a mystery for eons, until their top six battle mages forged a plan from their very essence. To unite their absolute individual powers into one worthy host. One who could put an end to the horrors plaguing the budding nation of Equestria.

Only one pony was ever worthy. His deeds and heroism ultimately culled evil and hatred from Equestria and allowed peace to reign. After this achievement, the power vanished of its own accord upon the natural death of its wielder.

However, it seems that something in the shadows has provoked the lost power's return in the form of a new carrier, and she's going to find out her true destiny through a series of literal trials by fire.

(Updated on 3/1/2019, I'm ashamed that its been almost 5 years since my last chapter update...)

This is my take on the origin of "Super Rainbow Dash." Shout out to the creator of Super Rainbow Dash, Super Klonoa. My apologies for not finding out who you were sooner!

Thanks to unexpectedly high ratings, this story has been moved from an experimental work to a full production. Edited by the Awesome Amazing Regular... uh.. "Solid" SolidFire.

Scootaloo is a young pony who has endured quite a bit of hardships, but has made the best of her life, even if it hasn't always been so easy. The little filly from Port Mane shares, in her own words, the ups and downs of her life, and just what it means to endure.

Find out how Scootaloo has endured through love and loss. See her thoughts on Rainbow Dash, her family, the crusaders, Featherweight, Pipsqueak, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, Princess Luna and more.

Thanks to user sqarishoctagon for helping me edit. Soundtrack added via YouTube.

[Image is deceptive, it's not always as sad as the image implies, there's all kinds of moods, but this is a pic I'm proud of, and it's relevant in parts. Also check this description for more pics as the story unfolds.]

THIS IS A SIMILAR BUT DIFFERENT UNIVERSE. I wrote this, starting during late Season 2, so I had to make judgment calls based on the information I had. As such, certain episodes thereafter do not match up, or fit in different places. Consequently, it is a very similar alternate universe. Many events happen in both this and the show timeline, but do not always match. I tried to stay consistent when possible, but certain things were lost to disagreements in interpretation. I like how I wrote my story and will not force it to match what came after I started writing. I've also decided to consider this fluidly finished. I still seem to make updates, but I no longer guarantee them.

[Please, if you read this, let me know what you think. PM me, comment, whatever. I just really want to hear people's thoughts!]
