Twilight sends Spike to the Crystal Empire for a few days so she can concentrate on some official business. When Spike arrives, Cadence is too busy to really spend any quality time with the dragon. The only pony that seems to have the time for him is Shining Armor.

To keep Spike occupied, Shining spends the day with him, walking, talking, and just hanging out with him. Even when he does have to work, he takes Spike with him and makes him an honorary Royal Guard for the day.

Let's just hope that Spike won't let it go to his head...

Thanks to Vexy and Bad Seed for their help editing this story, as well as Mr101 and Skeeter for throwing their support on it.

Soarin is a dead stallion! When Big Mac finds out that his sister is pregnant there is no force in all of Equestria that can keep the farmer from killing the Wonderbolt. Or is there?

This story has no connection to Slow to Realize which will have a new chapter soon. There are multiple pairings in this story as well, MacDash, SoarinJack, and CaraPie (Pinkie Pie Caramel). Please enjoy and leave a comment!

Thank you all so much for the feature story! You are all amazing!

Thanks to jszellmer for the amazing edits! As you know I hate commas so much.

Spike has just started his first year at Canterlot High where his older sister Twilight and her friends attend. With a new school and new friends to make, will this outcast survive his first year or be overwhelmed by the high school world. Humanized.

My name’s Marcus. Marcus Cortez. I’m currently a freshman at CUFTA. You don’t know what that means? Well, it stands for “Canterlot University for the Arts.” While it is a little unsettling to go to college in a completely different world from my own, and while being a human in a school full of mostly ponies is a little intimidating, I’m doing fine so far. I don’t have to worry about roommates, since I don’t live in a dorm. I live with my aunt.

Her name is Celestia. Princess Celestia.

You’re probably wondering how a human could be the nephew of a pony, and an alicorn princess, no less. Well, it’s quite the story.

In case you haven't guessed yet this is an anthro story, and my first time writing a story in first person, so we'll see how this goes.

The prologue for this story starts sixteen years prior to the return of Nightmare Moon and the story's main events take place after Season 3 ends.

Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash go on their epic quest to find the best fast food in all of Equestria, only found at the Crystal Castle diner. Getting there is the only problem...Follow their funny antics and stupid stoner comedy in this epic adventure of two friends with a passion for weed and good munch. A fun parody of the Awesome movie: Harold and Kumar go to White Castle

Luna is an incredibly awkward pony. Shouting while indoors, using archaic language, conjuring storm clouds out of thin air... It isn't that the earnest mare doesn't want to make friends, it's that she's unfortunately bad at it. She's going to need a bit of help if she hopes to make any strides in becoming more social.

Fluttershy, on the other end of the spectrum, thinks life is pretty swell. She has her animals, her five best friends, and a wonderful lifestyle. She doesn't think she could be any happier.

However, when Twilight decides to take a hoof in Luna's development and puts into action a plan to get the lonely alicorn some friends, Luna learns how happy a pony can truly be, and Fluttershy discovers that maybe something is missing from her life after all.

With a foreword from Princess Celestia

Alex the human offers Celestia a new way to relax and unwind. Of course, Celestia needs to try it first. They end up chatting a bit. No bit whoop.

The mane six are about to find out hard, and how wonderful, high school can be when love is in the air. There will be crushes, heartbreak, shipping and a whole lot of outright strangeness.

So yea, another story set in a high school. I don't know why but I just really love this setting. The only ship that I will reveal at this point in time is Flutterdash. As always, if you ever notice any spelling or grammar mistakes please tell me.

Special thanks to BronyInvestigator for drawing the cover art. You can see more of their stuff here and here.

Shawn has been extremely happy ever since he somehow appeared in Equestria. Cannabis plants grow naturally in the Everfree Forest, and the joys of getting high have never been discovered by ponies. Without any laws prohibiting marijuana in Equestria, Shawn is able to relax and enjoy his stoner lifestyle in peace. At least until ponies start getting involved...

Contains naughty language and lots of toking.

When your life is as dull a gray as the world that surrounds you, the mundanities can make it all seem meaningless. Sometimes all we need is a little color -- or six -- to reintroduce us to what truly makes life worth living.
