Pinkie knows that being a baker means taking a lot of responsibility for your product. The bread has to rise with Celestia. Nopony needs to go through Round Two on the Baked Bads. And if at all possible, you should absolutely avoid serving the kind of 'donuts' which summon an eldritch horror from beyond space and time to destroy the world.

The Cakes keep slipping up on that last part. Not deliberately, at least in that they don't know they're doing it -- but somepony still has to clean up the tentacled mess, and do it by the time Sun is raised. Which is going to be Pinkie. Again.

Break out the caffeine. It's going to be a long night.

Rated C for Cthulhu Crackfic.

Show and tell: it’s a classic Ponyville Schoolhouse tradition.

Likewise, there’s a storied rumor of a mysterious cave on the edge of Saddle Lake, where baubles and trinkets are awarded to foals who manage the trek. But the Everfree Forest is no place for ponies, let alone foals.

Scootaloo has nothing to show. So she’ll gladly take her chances.

Like most Pegasi, Rainbow Dash lives in Cloudsdale. For little Dash, though, Clousdale is all she knows.

Sheʼs about to change that.

Dash is accompanying her good friend, Flutttershy, for their first trip to the World Below. The two filles are about to discover a whole new world, filled with beauty and so many wonders.

And maybe learn a thing or two along the way.

When Misty gave her the modern device called a phone, she thought she'd only use it to occasionally check on her foes, maybe watch some of their make up videos after all evil has to look good, and of course listen to the songs and OH THEY HAVE MERCH... this might be a problem

New York City's a good place for a pony to start over. There are plenty of opportunities available, such as pulling a carriage around Central Park. it's not that different from pulling a carriage in Equestria, after all.

Except for the regulations. So many regulations. The law is complicated, and it's not really set up for an Equestrian pony.

Twilight Sparkle decides to write a book... except, she actually decides to write a spell that writes books for her. Things go infinitively awry when she realizes that the difference between writing and spell-generated writing is the love and care of a hoof.

Oh, and of course, things go very wrong. But that's just how stories go, don't they?

The earth melts. The skies darken. Celestia has tired of being the nice princess, and the shadow of the sun has overtaken her.

To Prince Blueblood's immense regret, he can't leave this one to Sparkle and company.

Zecora welcomes Celestia and Twilight to tea with mixed feelings. Celestia, after all, was the first pony to ever call Zecora a friend, but she's also one of the few creatures who knows the truth, a truth that Zecora feels certain Celestia wants to share with Twilight...

This was going to be my entry in the 200th Writeoff contest, "Looking Back," but once again, I couldn't get it finished in time. And the cover art is by Andy Price, of course.

Staying overnight in the hospital is already creepy enough without having to deal with ghosts...
