It's Nightmare Night once again, and Rarity has a plan for Princess Luna.

All she'll need to carry it out is one of Princess Celestia's most prized possessions.

When the Flim Flam brothers arrive looking worse for wear and seeking work, the Apples make the decision to allow them work on the farm - despite Applejack's misgivings in particular.

Chapters for this are usually - but not always - written for Thirty Minute Pony Stories on tumblr.

Applejack was happy for Rarity, she really was. Moving to Canterlot to pursue a rather unique oppurtunity made sense... but it didn't help her feel any less homesick. As Rarity works on special dresses for the biggest fashion show of the season, Applejack dreams of where the fields are, where the summers are wet and the winters clear.

Happy is she who knows the causes of things--and as Rarity begins to understand the underlying problems with Applejack's discontent, perhaps she can find the right words to say.

Rarity's decided to break up with Applejack, but were they even an item in the first place? And, perhaps more importantly, what does Applejack have to say about it?

Hijinks, of course, will ensue.

When Applejack goes missing from the farm, her friends discover that finding her won't be the hardest thing they do that day. Now the question is...why is she running? And how do they get her to stop?

Several years after Nightmare Moon's defeat, a meteor is seen hurtling across the sky. Its presence heralds Rainbow Dash's greatest challenge, as well as the greatest spectacle Equestria will ever witness!
