There are those who are inspired by the world, truly gifted and blessed, who watch it through a broken kaleidoscope, seeing what others care not to see.

Inspired by "Kids" by MGMT.

Shining Armor and Twilight Sparkle live an average life in an average home in the most above-average city in Equestria. Growing up in Canterlot they are subject to the inner workings of the government and Princess Celestia. Even though Shining SHOULD be studying, when his little sister asks him to help her with something, how can he refuse? After all, there's only one reasonable course of action at that point: take over Equestria.

Curious what other dimensions and worlds there are, Twilight decides to make a portal that will take her through many different dimensions before returning home. The first stop? A world called Ooze.

It definitely reminds her of a movie she once saw...

Story 1 of 6.

Luna has been considering the matter for a while, and she can't put her hoof on why. Confused and growing increasingly irritated, she goes to her sister in search of enlightenment.

Set between the season six finale and A Royal Problem.

Dragons are large. Dragons are mighty. Dragons are powerful.

And yet.

Written in like an hour and a half on 3 1/2 hours of sleep.

You're welcome, PresentPerfect.

Spike is always looking for ways to be helpful. So, when an opportunity to babysit Flurry Heart so Princess Cadence and Prince Shining Armor can have a weekend together comes up, Spike is quick to take on the opportunity of responsibility.

Spike has bravely helped to save the Crystal Empire from King Sombra and melted a lethal ice cloud during The Equestrian Games. So watching over a baby Alicorn should be easy for the "Brave and Glorious" dragon, right?

Twilight is very excited to have perfected a new transformation spell. While trying it out on Cadance, however, an ill-timed sneeze turns everypony in the room into cats, including Princess Celestia.

Stuck in the form of a tiny (and adorable) kitten, without access to magic, Twilight has to find a way to fix everything, all while dealing with her growing feline instincts, the hazards of a pony-sized world, and a Princess Celestia who seems to have forgotten she ever was a pony.

Fluttershy has just landed on the ground for the first time, and my goodness, everything is so different! But when and how will she get back home? And what is that wingless pony doing in the middle of nowhere?

Young Fluttershy learns that even though she can't fly well, she can do a lot of things that most pegasi can't. Just like the earth ponies. Appleshy friendship. Hopefully canon compliant.

Applejack left her childhood blanket in Appleloosa with Bloomberg, choosing to keep the memories rather than the physical object. She winds back up with it, although not on terms she would have liked.
