The short story of a fleeting afterlife. Based on Friendship Is Optimal.

"I loved her so much, but even I knew what the outcome would be despite what I did or told myself. I didn't want to believe it. I tried so hard not to, but in the end, I knew what I had to do. I had to free the one I love of the monster that controlled her."

Follows the events of "Bats!" An idea I've had in mind for a long while, just couldn't write it out correctly, until now! Flutterdash based as well! :P

This story is a sequel to Canterlot Bridge

Autumn Blaze is welcomed to Ponyville by her new friends, including none other than Princess Celestia. However, when something makes Autumn angry and loses her cool, it's up to her friends to remind her that she isn't a monster, but one of their best friends.

"The Diabolical sometimes assumes the aspect of the Good, or even embodies itself completely in its form. If this remains concealed from me, I am of course defeated, for this Good is more tempting than the genuine Good."

I'm not sure what Lovecraftian fever dream induced this story, but I apologize in advance.

Cheerilee is a wonderful teacher. It’s what her students say, it’s what the parents say, and, most importantly, it’s what her cutie mark says. 

But what happens when one’s purpose, one’s whole meaning of life, is no longer there? 

What is a teacher without a class to teach?
