I'm so sorry. We opened the box...

Please. Don't make the same mistake we did...

I've spent the majority of my life tilling the desolate land in which I live. Every day, I wake up to move useless rocks from one location to another. This is an archaic line of work that my family has clung to for generations. It is a dull, grey existence.

Today, I have woken up in a strange room, lying in a bed that isn't mine. I'm surrounded by five mares whom I've never seen in my life. They claim to be my friends, and expect me to bring joy to the hearts of everypony.

Joy? I don't think I've ever experienced this for myself, so how am I supposed to thrust it upon others?

My name is Pinkamena Diane Pie, and I'm not sure what to make of this situation.

Who is Scootaloo? Everypony knows about her present, but when it comes to her past there are as many different answers as there are questions.

Is she the love child of two star-crossed lovers? The last hope for the future? The child of a broken home? A mysterious figure fighting a war no pony knows about? Or is it something else entirely? Is she even a pony at all?

Twilight Sparkle decides to ask everypony in Ponyville and find out about Scootaloo...and the stories, rumors and gossip she gets will leave her wondering how the truth can ever compete with fiction.

Name's Gilda. Ya know, me n Dash did a bunch of crazy stuff back at flight camp. I remember this one time when we... eh, maybe I should start at the beginning... how we met.

A continuation of Dash Eats Meat! (Reading not necessary)

When a great evil threatens the world, the nations unite to fight for right to survive. A fellowship is set out to seek out the only weapon able to destroy their foe, the fabled Sword of Balance. This group will go to Tartarus and back to gather the sword and save the world.

(CJ)Cave Johnson here, (TW)Twilight Sparkle here, (CJ)and we will be testing the least safe parts of science possible! First, we're going to see if we can turn Scootaloo into a chicken! (TW)For science! (CJ)Yes yes, for science! Then we will see if Applejack can survive if we replace her apple trees with combustible lemon trees! And last but not least, you all might have wondered, what happens when you give Pinkie Pie coffee? Well, we're about to find out! (TW)For science! And many more! The possibilities are endless!

"Love is a force of nature."

In the Swayback Mountains, a violent storm and its aftermath force Rarity and Applejack to reappraise their feelings for each other.

No one expects to go to sleep and never wake up. There's always tomorrow, or the next day. There was always time. So, when a young life is extinguished before its time, it becomes especially difficult to handle. When the spirit of that life is forced to face and accept her death, what will become of her afterlife? Scootaloo will soon be faced with this tragedy, and this is her story.

When Fluttershy finds a page of a clopfic containing Spike and a certain white mare, the page finds itself in the hooves of many ponies it's been kept from. All of the clues seem to point to Spike, but is there more to this page than meets the eye?

Author's Note: Contains lines of some saucy material. Nothing to clop over, but it refers heavily to something you'd find in a clopfic. Don't read if you're offended by this sort of thing. I only rated it teen because it's pretty tame and there's very little of it, but if it's too much I can rate it mature and add up a "sex" tag.

Any constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated!
