The Chalk Family Cemetery is said to be the most haunted place in all of Equestria. On Nightmare Night eve Miss Cheerilee's class take a guided tour of the cemetery. An old-fashioned ghost story.

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon get to talking about current events in the wake of “To Where And Back Again,” and discover just how differently they feel about the changelings.

Friendship may be magic, but is is powerful enough to overcome political divisions?

An early draft of this story appeared as “The Equestrian Candidate” in the March 2016 Writeoff ("It's Your Funeral"), but the version here has been completely overhauled, thanks in large part to horizon's assistance.

My name is Diamond Tiara. I am the most popular filly in school, and with good reason. I'm smart, I'm funny, I'm cool, I'm rich, and I'm resourceful. Everypony wants to be me... which can be kind of a burden at times. Alula, get off of me already!

I'm Alula! I'm not quite as smart as DT here, but I'm a really good athlete, and I'm full of energy every day! After all, I get to see Diamond Tiara every day, so how can I not be?

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon are introduced to a new friend: Zippoorwhill. Zippoorwhill is pleased to meet them, but the same can't be said for the two rich fillies of refined tastes. So how will they deal with Zippoorwhill in order to regain their peaceful lifestyles?

Cheerilee has lived the life of a schoolteacher with a smile and devotion that is unparalleled to any other pony in Equestria and yet, her career has left her single and lonely.

However, a simple and unexpected reunion with a student she almost forgot about may perhaps change that.

Silver Spoon's mother is on one of her rare visits to Ponyville, though she competes for Ponyville as an Archer constant trips to train and compete take her away.

To Silver Spoon the rare days where she's with her mother are the best, she can be warm in her presence and be embraced, but all is not without its problems, for a tiny part of her seems to grow a tiny bit of resentment for being away so often.

SilverSpeed can't help but notice a growing distance even as Silver Spoon runs home to embrace her, how will she choose to fix it up?

Rainbow Dash is very well aware that Scootaloo is her Number One Fan. That doesn't mean she has to like it. While she enjoys the attention and encouragement she gets from the little filly and her other fans, she isn't too fond of actually dealing with them. It's nothing personal.

But after she overhears Scootaloo being bullied by some of her classmates about her flying ability, Rainbow Dash decides that perhaps it's time her Number One Fan got some encouragement of her own.

Diamond Tiara had recently gotten her fabulous cutie mark, and she absolutely loved rubbing it in the faces of her less fortunate class mates, especially the blank-flanks that went to her school.

With her cute-ceañera just around the corner, she decides to mock them by inviting them to her party, though after teasing Sweetie Belle just a little too much, the unicorn filly's still-developing powers cause Diamond to receive a Double, one with a personality almost completely opposite to hers.

Starts right before "Call of the Cutie"

Going through a bout of insomnia, Diamond Tiara is willing to try anything to help her get to sleep. So far nothing has worked, but that doesn't mean she's willing to give up.

Part of the "Insomnia Project", where Bootsy Slickmane and I decided to both write about Diamond Tiara having insomnia and see how different our takes would be. Check out his story here. And before you ask, yes, his version is almost as good as mine ;D!

Thanks to Mudpony for editing and inspiring me to write this (forgot to credit him earlier due to being tired}.

This story is a sequel to Trixie's Gettin' Back On Her Hooves

"Good job, you really are a lot like I was when I was a kid. Keep up the good work. Some day you might be just like me."

When she first heard those words, Diamond Tiara was excited. A rich and powerful business pony said one day she could be just like her. What was not to like?

Then it all came crashing down as the insidious Checker Monarch's web of deception was pulled away, revealing a sociopathic monster willing to torment her own family if it got her what she wanted.

Not only did Diamond Tiara see a pony she admired fall from grace, she witnessed something far worse. Her potential future self. The monster she could be if nothing changed.

Can Diamond Tiara change the winds of fate and alter her future? Or will the nightmare the monstrous Checker Monarch unleashed be repeated?

A direct sequel to Trixie's Getting Back On Your Hooves, taking place next in line chronologically.
