The account of the night that Twilight Sparkle came into the world and how her brother and her became best friends forever.

I'd heard about the TV show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic from my college roommate who is way too into the show. Disturbingly so, actually, but good gravy I would never watch the darned thing! What am I, five? I've got better things to do with my time than watch a silly little girl's show. However, that didn't stop... something from transporting me into the world of the show, so here I am... in Equestria... trying to get home. This is gonna be interesting.

Special thanks to GuyFace, Jack Kellar, Storm Shaker, Spiffy McSquee, and Goober Trooper for helping me with this one!

Applebloom finally gets her Cutie Mark! But, uh, what exactly is it? And what in the hay is a Facebook?

Warning: severe randomness.

A one-shot that's not to be taken seriously. Just a little practice story that only took me an hour or so. Comments would be well-appreciated, though!

Twilight loves playing chess, a new game that is rising popularity in Equestria. After playing several times with other ponies and Spike, she is confident in her ability as a chess player to play in the tournament in Canterlot after Rarity suggests it to her.

Before Twilight even embarks on this adventure, she says in her mind... Chess is only a game and it should never be taken literally.

Well, what would happen if she changes her mind after some "persuasion" from the game?

Oh, you may need to look at a layout of a chess board to know how this story works. :)

The day Big Mac came to Equestria, he was but a small colt. He told his story to passersby, but nopony believed him. Eventually, Applejack and Granny Smith found him, and brought him in. Except, they believed his story. They swore they would never tell anypony. But promises sometimes cannot be kept when you're the element of Honesty, and so the secret slips one night, and Applejack couldn't feel more guilty.

Who is Scootaloo? Everypony knows about her present, but when it comes to her past there are as many different answers as there are questions.

Is she the love child of two star-crossed lovers? The last hope for the future? The child of a broken home? A mysterious figure fighting a war no pony knows about? Or is it something else entirely? Is she even a pony at all?

Twilight Sparkle decides to ask everypony in Ponyville and find out about Scootaloo...and the stories, rumors and gossip she gets will leave her wondering how the truth can ever compete with fiction.

Thanks to all my readers and fans for all the support and help I have gotten! I am truly touched.

3-part story

Granny Smith lives out her twilight years happily with her family every day.

However a certain pony dressed in a black suit has come to tell her it is time to move on in the world and Granny isn't about to let him take her away.

Author's Note: Totally posting this in parts because I'm lazy and I want views instead of taking forever to get to my other projects while working on this. I'm saying that outright. When the story is complete and I get an editor for it I'll post a full extended cut for all who would rather read it that way.

All the ponies in Ponyville keep diaries. What happens when the ponies don't get enough sleep?

All spelling and grammar mistakes have been fixed - Thanks Atom!

I am aware that fluttershy is quite OOC here

(maybe expanding this a few chapters to include other Sleep Deprived Ponies... Pinkie Pie anybody?)

Scootaloo's birthday is coming up, and Rainbow Dash is unsure of what to get her number one fan. Upon asking her, it seemed her birthday wish would be a little harder to obtain than Dash thought. Enlisting the help of Twilight, the two mares set out to ensure that little Scootaloo has the best birthday ever.

That's right, a fic about best filly where nothing bad, tragic, or otherwise horrible happens to her, or anypony else. This is my attempt at an episode like fic.

Special thanks to RazedRainbow for getting this thing ready for public consumption.

I left after the last of my friends died, and now I take a walk every year at the exact same time, following the exact same route, to remember my friends, to remember one of the few truly happy times I've had in my existence. I take this walk as a penance for not being able to die and be with my friends in the afterlife. During this walk my soul is bared to the world and only one question sums it up.

If eyes are windows to the soul, what does it mean that mine are shattered?
