This is a Pre-story document for the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fanfic I am going to be posting on DA soon as I develop it. This basically is a list of warnings, and a list of details befiting the setting of the story, and what it does and does not follow.

Content: This story is what I would rate to ranging from Pg13, to X (in some chapters though admitingly likely very few) It contains dark themes such as rejection, hatred, betrayal and bitterness. It contains adult subject matter along the themes of relationships, intimancy (aka sex for the less informed), family ties, social class and so forth. Other materials that may be questionable include; blood (and gore, to a limited extent, depending on how wide of a scope your veiw of what “gore” is, as the few times I involve such a detailed description of ones body in a rather “gorey” way is more medical and linked to a characters subplot) cursing (to an extent mostly amoungthe the FCs more then the OCs) and negative habits such as (possibly) smoking and drinking.

Story in relationship to the episode list: As of this document only 10 episodes of season 2 have been aired, due to a lack of seasonal information in any ep but for the most recent, seems to have happened before Twilight's first full year in ponyville has come to passed, meaning that it is late spring nearing summer, and as such, the Summer Sun celebration. Though some may question the placement of “Nightmare Night” as meaning we would have to, I would actually like to say, that Nightmare Night, has happened prior to Winter Wrap Up of the first year, which as many timeline theorist will point out is fairly late into Twilight's first year in ponyville. This is to explain Luna having been around more into the public eye and establishing things from Nightmare Night as having been seen for enough months to explain key elements of the story. For a more explained idea of how I forsee the story, eps 1-2 take place as though summer is only a month in, the first month deals with most of the early episodes, such as Applebuck Season and the Young Flyer Competition. As Summer passed they delt with the meeting with Zecora, the red dragon, Owlicious' arrival, and the forming of the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Fall Weather Friends puctuates the arrival of Fall, in which Nightmare Night happened, as well as Suited For Success, Green Isn't Your Color and Feeling Pinkie Keen. Winter Wrap Up passes over the Winter season. Though, animated without snow, I feel that events that would of transpired in this season that could fit are; the gala, Swarm Of The Century, Stare Master and A Dog And Pony Show. With the arrival of new Spring came Disqord and all missed season 2 episodes. I know this does not include a lot of refinment, but if you would rather adjust things slightly as to when key episodes happen, it is fine with me, just know that pretty much everything but episode 10 has happened, as the girls have not been doing as much and have been busy sense, to do said play the first year after becoming the carriers of the Elements of Harmony, as well as having had the gala and Rarity's visit to canterlot which I feel would have been influenced the princesses choising them the year following.

FC characters by name and some info.

Age comparison (as I do not fully know the real ages of the girls comparitivly I derived a sort of chart, much like explaining the episodes, this is how I explain their ages. For explaining FC ages and how it will relate to their actions.) For short hand we will go with this assumption, Rarity is the eldest, as she owns a full on store and comes off as the eldest in attitude and what she actually does. Twilight is a year younger then her, having a more adult outlook on things, even if a shut in adult outlook, and sounding quite well up in years compared to the most energetic and less developed of the main 6. Fluttershy and Applejack are both a year behind Twilight, while Fluttershy takes care of herself it is arguable due to her soft voice and her way of life just how old she is, as she seems to be able to make well enough dispite any inherent issues that might come with age. Applejack, while strong, is the middle child, and has a lot of youth to her strenght, while still being more mature then the last 2, but still at times very immature when dealing with Rarity's upper class attitude at times. Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash are both the youngest, we do know, atleast through episode 6, that Fluttershy IS atleast 1 year older then Pinkie, this is the ONLY stated bit of evidance I know to suggest any age comparisons. Also she comes off as the arguable least mature of the group, completely oblivious to the real world and due to having arguably the youngest pet, in her baby gator Gummy. Rainbow Dash is also this young for a few key reasons, arguably the “young flyer competition” is held for the younger fliers, judging by the voices of Pegasus Hooves and Leeroy Wingkins, we can assume to some extent that these fliers are younger, probably in the mid to late teen range to possibly young adults. While none of the girls are old persay, we can assume that there is a cutoff age that, if anything like our own world (which shows like this tend to use some human standards on a non-human world to appeal to the human audience) the cut off age would probably of cut Rarity off if she was just a year older (as if we where to assume that Rainbow is, say, 17, Rarity would be 20) Beyond this, other things such as her pranking nature, and her quick to confrontation with others, would also suggest a lack of full on maturity, as well as how often she tries to brag and play off anything that bugs her. Also her young and almost juvinal admoration and/for reaction around the Wonderbolts befits that of a teenaged girl. For the most part we can assume the Cutie Mark Crusaders and all ponies in their class are roughly the same age, so let us go with Rainbow Dash to Rarity of 17-20, and mark the Cutie Markers at the age of 10, with Big Macintosh being roughly the same age distance from AJ as AJ is to Apple Bloom, which would put Big Mac at 26 years old being 8 years older then AJ and 16 over Apple Bloom.

Age: 19
Species: Pegasus

Main coat color: Black
Mane color: Blue, long and unkept, similar to Soarin's but longer in nature
Cutie mark: A blue storm cloud shooting red lighting (some believe the colors are this way to stand out from his dark coat)
Special physical attributes: In the night sky, specially on a New Moon, it seems like you can see stars in his fur, seemingly reflecting the night sky (seeing as its strongest on a New Moon)
History: (This is of course what I feel would help you understand the character prior to story start) Cosmic Stream is the younger brother of 2, his father was a unicorn who worked in the mines using his magic to carve through the rock and dirt to unearth coal and other common ores, scratching enough for them to survive. His mother was a pegasus who use to be a weather team captain until her wing was permanently damaged from a crash. Stream had a strong set of wings but with complications, as well as the fact the town they lived in was on the edge of Equestria's known territory, lead to him not being noticed for his gift. Cosmic Stream seeks to find a way to correct this.

Name: Cosmic Spark
Age: 21
Species: Unicorn

Cutie mark: A red 4 point star similar to Twilight's with a blue mini star at the very end of each point.
Special Physical Attributes: In the night sky, specially on a New Moon, it seems like you can see stars in his fur, seemingly reflecting the night sky (seeing as its strongest on a New Moon)

Mane color: A sort of light blue with dark blue trim that looks like a blue fire, similar in style to that of Spitfire.
Secondary coat color: Unkown if she has one.
Cutie mark: Even more unknown
Special Physical attributes: She has the ability to just glare the most confrontational ponies down, even through the thickest of goggles or shades. She has a very unhappy look that speaks volumes to what she thinks of those around her or what she will do to you if you where to cross her with any attempt to harm or humiliate her.
History: Night Fury is a pegasus filly who lived in a town once a large hub of Equestria during her grandparents time, but now, it is pratically a ghost town. Only a handful of families stay there living out a rather sad existance, forgotten in the town as Equestria changes, in social and economical progress, have left this like many other towns, unnecessary and lost.

Author's Note

When i first wrote this fanfic awhile back it was during the mid point of season 2, because i knew this was going to be a minor issue as i do like stories that try to stick to continuity with minor references to events or full on explaining how those events impacted this one, or how the fanfic would impact cannon. I decided to write up a prologue to better explain the mind set of how the world works and what has or hasn't happened by this point. Please give it a chance and comment on how i might improve on explaining or telling stories as this fanfic goes on. Arigato.
