The School of Friendship has graduated its first class and six young students have their diplomas.

Six, stepping out into their adult lives and taking their place in the world.

Five in Ponyville. One... not.

And that's the problem.

An expansion of my entry for Flashfic 150 - November 2020 with the prompt 'A Song I Remember', and winner of that month's competition!

Silverstream can't wait to get home to Mt. Aris for the holidays. Sure, she had no problem staying behind last Hearth's Warming, but it did mean she missed the first ever Three Days of Freedom Celebration. With everything she has planned this year, it's sure to be a hoot!

But when she discovers something about one of her friends mere days before departing, she finds something she'd hoped she never would – a friendship problem that can't be solved.

This story was written as a gift for Jack of a Few Trades as a part of Jinglemas 2020. Happy Hearth's Warming!

Rarity has had some tough luck at love. Blueblood, Trenderhoof... Now that she's been set up on a blind date by Rainbow Dash, all she hopes for is that it won't end in utter embarrassment.

She didn't account for having already impacted their life in a major way.

Rated Teen for Horse Romance. Coverart by myself.

Yona and Sandbar are happily married, but nasty talk around town about their size difference have Sandbar a bit on edge. How can he be the stallion she deserves if he doesn't fit into the traditional role of being the bigger and stronger one?

Luckily, he runs into a stallion who went through something similar and gets a few pointers on what masculinity and love truly mean.

The unicorn Twilight Sparkle, Princess Celestia's most prized student, comes across comes across a prophecy detailing seven magical objects known as the Elements of Metal that is said to bring righteousness and brutality to the land of Equestria. On her way to Ponyville she meets a rather odd earth pony mare named Thrasher, who seems more concerned with practicing her guitar, drinking beer and throwing the empty cans at the heads of ponies.

Starring:
On drums, Applejack a.k.a. Rotten Apple the Element of sick beats.
On lead guitar, Rarity a.k.a. Black Diamond the Element of face melting solos.
On bass, Fluttershy a.k.a. Shrieker the Element of windmilling.
On keyboard/turntables, Pinkie Pie a.k.a. Face Punch the Element of moshing.
On rhythm guitar, Rainbow Dash a.k.a. Tornado the Element of headbanging.
On vocals, Twilight Sparkle a.k.a. Black Magic the Element of growling.
On secondary lead/rhythm guitar and back-up vocals, Thrasher the Element of brutality a.k.a. the one who drinks beer and throws the empties at ponies heads.

And together they form Mystic Princess, but they are thinking of changing the name.
*****************************************************************************************
This an comedic alt. universe story that will follow major plots from the show and a few of my own creation. This isn't meant to be taken seriously and is written for fun.
Rated T for mild vulgarity, crude humor, groupies, the consumption of alcohol and other substances and badly written pony-punned heavy metal lyrics.

I may add other tags in the future as needed.

Luna is many things: a goddess, princess, and wife. What happens when she has a secret that threatens to unravel every one of those things? Her secret weighs heavily upon her, but can she bear to tell it, knowing it is the only thing that will set her free?

Sombra is caught up in all that reformation entails. His wife's turmoil isn't lost on him, but he has yet to piece together just what it is that has her waning.

The third place winner of the Right Back At It Again contest. Highly Recommended in PresentPerfect's spoiler-filled review! Also a submission for the Pride and Positivity charity event. The cover art is a gift drawn by MayhemMoth. The new version has been edited and preread by Cynewulf and Pascoite.

Spike and Gabby have been dating for a few weeks, and everything is great! In their short time together, they’ve found that they click on so many more levels than they did as friends. There is never an awkward moment between them, and now that they’re on the third date, it’s time to take it to the next level: The kiss. 

The mere thought of it fills Spike with nerves, but not of the excited kind. Instead of anticipation, all he feels is dread. He wants to kiss her. He needs to kiss her. There’s just one little problem.

He doesn’t know how to kiss a beak.

Thanks to Jack of a Few Trades for editing and helping round out the ideas of this story.

Also, thanks to Not Enough Coffee for prereading this and giving his always awesome feedback.

Love is built up over time, and no one knows that more than Ocellus.

A griffon is a creature that has the head of a bird, the hindquarters of a feline, and many of the character traits of both mixed in. Some of those traits show more obviously than others, especially one side more than the other.

And guess who, as Gallus's roommate, has to put up with them?

Gallus wants to ask Silverstream out to lunch. One problem, he's really bad at opening up about his feelings. So, he tells a fib to deflect from his true intentions, and things just escalate from there.
