In a freak accident from the Cloudsdale weather control team, Twilight is struck down by an errant lightning bolt. But the veil of death is relatively thin...

Sometimes, when we have given up on ourselves, it takes the help of a friend to make us realize that everything is okay.

A short something for anyone who has ever put themselves down and given up.

Celestia agrees to allow Twilight to spend the night at the palace per Luna's request. But as it turns out, the two ponies have other things in mind other than a sleep-over...

Applejack has been acting a little bit peculiar. Every week she goes down to the end of the road just before dawn and begins playing her guitar, not talking to anyone. What is causing this strange behavior? Her friend, Twilight Sparkle, hopes to find out.

"I guess if I can't be your friend... I'll just have to be your enemy."

NOTE: There will be more short stories added here!

It's been five years since she first met them, and most of Twilight Sparkle's friends have found love, leaving her feeling left out and unwanted. The Winter's Eve Ball promises a magical night of mystique and romantic wonder, but will Twilight's romantic notions get the best of her? Based on the song by the Fireman.

Applejack has always struggled to make ends meet at Sweet Apple Acres. After the chaotic events of the Grand Galloping Gala, she returns home to find her farm experiencing a stroke of good luck. Applejack celebrates her fortune with all her friends, all except for one. Rainbow Dash has gone missing, and Applejack decides to find out why.

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.

Rarity takes a stroll through a winter night, but the most precious of scarves kept her warm.

Inspired by the song of the same name by the Silversun Pickups.

All she needs is a shoulder to cry on. A friend, to listen, to understand, to comfort her.
And that's what Derpy's getting, right?
Or is it?
Is it enough to act like a friend?

This is the true test of a good friend. Can Derpy do what she knows is right? Or will she succumb to her torn emotions?

What is the right thing to do?
