Raven Wing Stardust

"Booo! Get off the stage!" The brown, spiky haired stallion yelled. His words were echoed by those around him. They could be heard amidst the murmur of the crowd, which had taken a turn for the worst. Soon they got up from where they were standing and swarmed the stage. The offending pony was dragged off and unceremoniously thrown out into the alleyway outside. The ponies turned back to enjoy themselves in the club, but not before the stallion gave her a last warning. "We don't accept your kind here. Don't come again or you'll regret it. The door quickly slammed shut, leaving the poor filly alone.

A single tear rolled out from her eye and slowly slid down her cheek, glistening like a beautiful diamond. It ended at her beautifully sculpted chin, before gravity had its way and the tear fell down to earth, making an elegant harmony in its one splash. A thunderclap from above in the heavens marked the start of rain. It fell drearily, as if to represent her sadness. But the rain hardly touched her well-kept body, even the rain could feel how depressed she felt. Raven Wing Stardust let out an angel's despairing sigh, "Why does everypony hate me so?"

Raven Wing Stardust tried so hard to fit in here at Ponyville, but it was no use, she was just too different. After a tragic childhood, the events of which she couldn't bear to remember, she was forced to live on her own. Luckily, she knew a magic spell that could make a pocket universe where she raised a mansion the size of a big castle like Canterlot's. But that only showed another problem she was cursed with. Her magic was so powerful because due to being a long lost relative of Princesses Celestia and Luna, she was born an alicorn. She was cursed with so much magical power that the other ponies must be afraid of her.

Beauty was her curse as well. Her body was the perfect combination of curves and skinny lines to make the most attractive pony anyone could ever lay eyes on. In fact, her waist-size was naturally a fourth the size of a normal pony's. Her mane was a deep and lovely purple that flowed across her body in delicate waves. It glittered and twinkled with what appeared to be a dazzling amount of stars strewn throughout her mane. Her tail was miraculously similar looking to the Milky Way galaxy. It was an alluring mix of yellow and white, and there was a glimmer on her tail to match each star in the Milky Way. But there was a key difference between her tail and the Milky Way: The Milky Way was in a simple but crude shape, a stretched circle. Her tail did not restrict itself so, it curved and twisted into intricate styles that would put Rarity's to shame and keep a crowd's interest for hours. Her wings kept to the theme of a night's sky and practically shone with the colors of an Aurora Borealis. Her coat was an enthralling ebony black. Any eyes would find the color mesmerizingly deep. To top it off, her cutie mark was a work of art, a raven's wing with a sea of stars spreading out before it.

With alicorn powers to rival the sisters, and unimaginable beauty, it was easy for Raven Wing Stardust to figure out why the other ponies hated her. Just being in her presence made their minds fill with envy. Everypony that saw her would feel worthless in comparison. They would refuse to let her join in on the pony games because the sight of her must make them overcome with inferiority. If only she wasn't cursed with such power and such good looks! If only she could find a way to rid herself of such burdens!

But Raven Wing Stardust was a very clever pony, and an idea quickly popped into her big brain. She could ask Twilight Sparkle nicely to take away her physical qualities, at least for a while so she could see what it's like to be normal. She unfolded her wings and raised them up high, blanketing the alley with the light reflected off her beautiful wings and filling it with a vast array of colors. She started to run to get enough speed to take. Her legs moved as gracefully as if she was performing a dance, and though she was hoofed, even running was not enough for her to be so ungraceful as to make noise with each step. The wings flapped up and down, making the dazzling light on the walls move up and down in waves. She finally jumped into the air with enough force to shake the nearby buildings, and she took off into the sky.

At first she floated majestically on the winds like a swan, except darker colored and far more awe-inspiring. But her burden was almost too much to bear. She wanted to get to Twilight as soon as possible, so she decided to speed up. Raven Wing Stardust was the best flyer in all of Equestria, when she flies fast it is truly a sight to behold. She flew fast enough to perform a sonic rainboom with ease, but she kept going faster. After every interval, she would create another sonic rainboom, but each time, its colors were Doppler shifted to a longer wavelength. The rainbooms colors shifted to red, before it shifted to a longer wavelength that only Raven Wing Stardust's eyes could see. But the colors kept shifting, they went from red to infrared, from infrared to microwaves, and finally they shifted into radio waves. If somepony was listening to a radio at the time, they would hear a song so beautiful it would drive the listener to tears.

Soon, she hovered in front of Twilight's house and floated down like a big butterfly. She went to knock on her door, but she hesitated at first. She knew Twilight Sparkle should love, because she was so nice and innocent, and very pretty, that it should be hard for anyone to not love her. But it seemed like she was too pretty, for everypony seemed to be jealous of her now. Twilight must surely be jealous of her looks as well. Oh cruel world! Why was she so cursed with beauty?! But she knew she had to face her fears, and with her willpower she overcame her doubts and opened the door.

Twilight Sparkle was sitting at a desk deeply engrossed in her studies. She must be very engrossed, because she hadn't noticed Raven Wing Stardust's presence and become immediately enraptured by her visage.

"Twilight, could you help me please?" the words floated musically from Raven Wing Stardust's lips. It was comparable to a chorus of the rarest and most beautiful birds.

Twilight Sparkle turned around and was presented with a sight that could take her breath away. Never before could she have seen so beautiful a pony. "Oh, not another one! Didn't Celestia just banish you all to Pluto, twice?"

"Please you've got to help me, Twilight! I want you to use your magic to make me normal and unappealing like you!" She pleaded with such force that only those without a heart could ignore her plight.

"Why do you even need my help anyways? Doesn't your kind have enough to do practically anything?"

"Yes, I have far more magic power than you could imagine, but my own magic could not possibly ruin my perfect body. I am cursed with perfection! If only I could have a less attractive body like yours, the other ponies would stop being so jealous of me. That is the problem I have!" She held a dainty hoof across her eyes, to hold back the tears she felt rise from the bottom of her heart when she thought of how the other ponies treated her.

"Well I suppose if you're normal you might not be so annoying. I could try using a variant of Princess Celestia's Mary Sue banishing spell and drain the Mary Sue out of you instead. But that would need a special ingredi-"

"I'm already ahead of you Twilight! I went and got it this morning." Twilight Sparkle shot a glance towards a box on the wall saying "In Case of Pinkamena Clone" but it was only Pinkie Pie. In her hoof she held a small red sphere that glistened with what could be magical potential. Could it be the one item need to solve Raven Wing Stardust's plight? She could only wait eagerly in anticipation, but she kept control of herself and showed no signs of worry on her delicate face.

"Thanks Pinkie, but how did you know I would need it today?"

"Are you kidding?! There's been so much narration, I can hardly hear myself think!" While Twilight could not see the carefully crafted words Pinkie Pie spoke of, she knew well enough to believe her, now that characters were popping out of no where, most of them claiming to be distant relatives to the Princesses. But Raven Wing Stardust was different from the rest, her look were far more impressive, her personality was deeper than any other pony's could be, her magic-"Hey! enough already!"

"Okay, I'm ready to give the spell a shot. Stand over here, uh..."

"Oh, I didn't tell you my name? Oh, how cruel and thoughtless of me! My name is Raven Wing Stardust, I was born into this world in a special way, where-"

"That's enough, you can stop right there. Just stand in the center of the room, okay?" Raven Wing Stardust obediently complied for she was known for being kind to others even when they are rude to her, she was even giving Fluttershy lessons on how to be kind. She stood at attention in the center of the room, automatically giving it perfect Feng Shui. Twilight concentrated hard, Raven Wing Stardust's happiness was at stake, and she didn't want to fail at this chance to please her. A great swirling gray mist spread around Raven Wing Stardust and condensed on her. She was a little afraid that the mist could hurt her, but she knew that since she had some Ursa Major blood in her, it was unlikely she was in any danger. She then felt like her magic was being drained from her. The mist's color changed from gray to a swirl of pink and purple, with countless shiny dots. Raven Wing Stardust no longer felt so special-


She was normal now.

"Wow! my spell was more successful than I would have thought possible! You look completely ordinary now! I think it should last for at least for the day, I'm not sure how long your Mary Sue qualities can stay drained."

Raven Wing Stardust looked at herself.

"You're right! I hardly look any better than you! I'm so plain-looking, no one could be jealous of me now! They won't be awed by my looks, but I'm sure I can win them over with my charming personality!"

She ran out the door.

"Too bad I wasn't able to drain her personality as well. I hope making a Mary Sue look normal doesn't cause anything bad to happen."

Pinkie Pie hopped around. "Are you kidding?!! There's so little narration now, I think I could manage to break through the fifth wall now!"

Raven Wing Stardust walked into town.

No one stared at her. This made her happy.

She went back in the club.

Nopony realized who she was.

She had fun. But somepony noticed something about her.

"Hey, why don't you have a cutie mark yet?"

She looked to see if her cuite mark was there. It wasn't.

"Aren't you a little old to be a blank flank? I don't think even the Cutie mark Crusaders would take that long to get a cutie mark."

"I'm uh, a really, really late bloomer?"

Other ponies crowded around her. They noticed other things.

"Now that I think about it, you're not radiating any life magic. Even a baby earth pony radiates a little."

"Maybe she's a pegasus that lost her wings? That happens a lot nowadays."

Then a pony remembered. "Hey, now I remember where I heard that voice before, it was from that dirty Mary Sue!"

The other pones thought about it and agreed. They surrounded her.

"You are that Mary Sue, aren't you?"

"W-well yes, but it's okay now! I'm not an alicorn anymore! I don't have any wings or a horn, I don't even have an earth pony's life magic. I am the most normal pony of all!"

"So, that must make you a sort of precursor race to the other ponies, right?"

"When I think about it, you're probably right! I must have been turned into a member of the race of ponies before they split into four races. I guess I'm still special after all!"

"And that means you're still a Mary Sue! Everyone, get her!"

She escaped the club.

She ran out of Ponyville. The other ponies chased her.

She was worried that she might not be able to lose them.

She lost them.

She walked back to Twilight's house.

She had a depressed inner monologue. But before she could open the door, bright rays shot out from her body. Then a dazzling purple and pink light that could easily match the Sun's intensity shone around her. When the light faded, Raven Wing Stardust was back to her uncomparably beautiful self. In a depressed, but very attractive manner, then she reached out again and opened the door to Twilight's house.

Twilight Sparkle was inside talking to Rainbow Dash. Raven Wing Stardust and Rainbow Dash never met before, probably because Rainbow Dash was intensely jealous of her astounding flying skill. Twilight and Rainbow Dash stopped talking, subdued by the visitor's beauty. "There's the one I'm talking about, Rainbow Dash. So, how did it feel being normal? Did you learn how to be nice to others?"

Raven Wing Stardust put a delicate hoof to her eyes again. "It wasn't any use. Even when I'm as unappealing looking as you, instead of being jealous of looks, they envied my perfect personality. I am just too perfect to be loved by others!" She tried to hold her sadness in, but her grief cam from her perfectly-shaped heart. Another tear formed from her eye, a invaluable pearl that splashed with with the sound of a crystal bell.

"You're right Twilight, she is annoying. I hate her already."

"Oh, I don't blame you Rainbow Dash. I am cursed to be envied and hated by all who see me. I don't think any place could withstand my beauty!" She made a turn that would make a ballerina cry with envy, and made her way to the door. She would close it behind her, a clear metaphor for the closing of the door on her chances at living here peacefully and loved by others. She would have to live in the woods in a gold encrusted hut, where she would spend the rest of her days in utter, soul searing lonelinees, until the day sher was needed by the world to stop a monster like Discord that she would stop with a simple magic spell and turn completely good. Then everyone would welcome her as a legendary hero. She would just have to wait for her life's calling.

"Hated by everyone? Hold on just a second. I think I know where you could be useful."

Raven Wing Stardust turned her head up, the Sun metaphorically shone through her clouds of gloom. Rainbow Dash flew around everywhere, and must have gone on some adventures. Maybe, just maybe, she ran into a monster she was too weak and helpless to stop, and it would take a strong pony to handle. She gave a hopeful smile, that shone with such innocence, that it would turn a child murderer, into a loving foster parent. "Is there something you need my help with? Something only someone as powerful as me could solve?

"You could say that, the task certainly needs somepony as "powerful" as you.  Here's what you need to do, Twilight has invented another spell and she can use it to..."



A writer sat in front of his computer ready to write his fan fiction about My Little Pony. He thought grim dark stories were hilarious when applied to ponies. He loaded up his story and began to type, starting from where Pinkamena had chained Rainbow Dash to a wall.

"Please Pinkie Pie, let me go. Please don't hut me!"

"I told you already, my name is Pinkamena. But don't worry Dash you won't feel any pain, after you're dead that is!"

Pinkamena held up a whip ready to strike, but before she could her dungeon's door was ripped from it's hinges and standing in the doorway was an angry Raven Wing Stardust. "No one hurts my friends!" she yelled out furiously and using her maagic to grab Pinkamena. Pinkamena could not possibly withstand the magic power and could only watch as Raven Wing Stardust. Used her powerful magic to break Rainbow Dash's chains and fr

The author stared bewildered at his computer screen. Those were not the words he typed on his keyboard. He deleted the section and shook his head. He must have been staying up to four in the morning way too often. He must have dozed off and wrote some random words while asleep. He didn't feel particulary sleepy now, so he decided to start again.

Pinkamena paced in front of Rainbow Dash smirking. "Do you enjoy your 'tea'? I made it especially for you!"

"I sure like mine!" Raven Wing Stardust said happily as she put down her glass daintily. "Thank you so much for making it for us!"

"Oh not at all! If you didn't stop me and show me the light, I could have done something horrible to Rainbow Dash! But it's all good, now that you've cured me from ever going evil aga

"What's going on?! Why can't I write a grimdark story?!!"


Dear Princess Celestia

Today me and my friends have learned how to get rid of a Mary Sue and the Pinkamena clones in one sweep. By send ing the Mary Sue into writer's computers, she could use her ability to ruin a story to stop grimdark authors from writing ever again. I could hardly believe a Mary Sue useful for once. It's taught me that no matter how useless and hated you might be, there is always somewhere you can help. Even if you're a horrible Mary Sue, you can't hide who you are, the best thing to do is stay true to yourself.

Your Faithful Student,
Twilight Sparkle
