"June, honey, be a dear--reschedule Luna and K.K. That's what I call Princess Celestia--what a hoot!"

K.K....K.K...K.K...

Ever since hearing this little tidbit from Spike, Princess Celestia has been wondering just why in the world Discord would call her K.K.? She could understand a pun about the sun or an insult using her actual name or even a mocking version of her royal title, but K.K.? What does the nickname mean?

Finally, Celestia decides to just ask Discord. Discord, however, realizing how curious she is, offers to tell her only in exchange for a little favor. After strong negotiations, Celestia agrees to his terms and finally founds out what K.K. means...and the answer makes her realize many things about her relationship with the chaos master and the magic of friendship.

What’s a few marks left by a friend?

Well, it all depends on what kind of marks, as far as Gallus is concerned.

Unfortunately, Smolder thinks this is hilarious.

So pucker up, bird-boy.

Silverstream’s breath kinda smells like fish right now and that’s the only flaw I can pin on her. Her beak and claws are polished. Her mane has that wild...windswept...thing going on.

“What’s up?” she asks.

“You’re literally perfect,” I tell her. I put a little growl into my voice to make it clear that I’m seething in rage.

When Smolder mentions the word “slap,” her friends only meet her with blank stares. How can this school not teach the important things in life?

Gallus and Smolder are ready to take the next step and go through what may be the most important day in both of their lives.

Now if only somecreature could find out where in Tartarus they went to.

In completely unrelated news, a diligent pizza parlor employee receives two new customers to serve.

This story is a sequel to Entry #649

These are the final pages of the diary of Fluttershy, collected from her home and from the waters of the pond by her retreat. We hope she returns to us soon.

It has been a year since I last saw her when she appeared on my doorstep, strangeness in her eyes and a mumbling under her voice.

She asked for my help to investigate a peculiar object, which once held an odd ancient magic. But it's benign now, she said.

It's benign now.

(Despite similar subject matter, this has nothing to do with my previous story 'Marking', so don't worry about reading that one first)

With every passing year, the students of the School of Friendship add more and more traditions to celebrate together on Hearth's Warming Eve. This story chronicles but one occurrence of one of their favorite traditions, the Annual Hearth's Warming Hunt.

Well... their favorite tradition save for Gallus. After all, he's the one being hunted.

This story is a sequel to Her Knight In Shining Aria

Sonata starts to think that there might be something more to her relationship with Aria. Aria on the other hand, does not. And Adagio...well Adagio's trying to figure out what the heck is going on.
