What is sleep but a shortness of death?

For most people, seven is seen as the lucky number. For me, it's Eight.

Starswirl, in his wanderlust to explore how Equestria's evolved, finds a friend in the strangest of places.

Some of these might not completely make sense, but not completely not make sense, either.

It was easy for Pinkie just to be a party planner, her days were better then: Make pastries, plan parties, enjoy life. Then, as soon as she turned eighteen, her life turned into a cascade of chaos. She is a chimera, and she is a monster.

Jason was always kind of a loner, him moving to a new place was his way of trying to solidify his life. However, things change a lot more than he thought they would when he meets a pink girl in an alleyway who's more...'open' than anyone he's met.

W-what," Pinkie swallowed nervously as she tried to speak, finding her throat was suddenly very dry. "Are you?" It seemed to stare at her for a few seconds, its dark eye sockets peering directly into her soul. "Death."

Rainbow stumbling across Pinkie drinking went a lot better than Pinkie could have hoped, what she didn't know is what would come from it. She thought she was the only one of her friends that was miserable and wearing a mask, she was wrong.

The Equestrian world is a lot of things: joyful, peaceful, a near utopia. What is its counterpart, the human world? Evil, full of pain. And when one of the main six is pulled into this chaos, can she and the others handle the true nature of home?

What makes someone a monster? Doing things society says are terrible? Having sexual desires for the underaged? Or is it taking a life that makes someone a monster? Is killing the worst act someone can commit? Even if the monster is killing monsters?

It was supposed to end, when Pinkie killed Rainbow Dash, it was supposed to end. But something happened, something Pinkie hadn't accounted for. Now she's started a war, one she doesn't know if she can win. It'll come down to a fight between friends.

For the longest time, Equestria was the most peaceful place imaginable. But one day, something changes. Absolute evil is brought to Equestria, and Pinkamena is at the center of it all. She will suffer unimaginable pain, beyond comprehension.

Problems are something everyone in Equestria has to deal with, big or small. Some problems have obvious answers, some don't. And sometimes, a pony chooses to deal with their problems on their own, no matter how much help they really want.

A parody of “Something Sweet To Bite.” The story of how Pinkie saved Equestria and lost the ability to taste.

Three months, it's been three months since Pinkie disappeared. There have been multiple search parties, family members constantly questioned, even pony Twilight came over. She was never found, but one day she did come back, but... different.
