A short story of how a new world is created.

For Lauren Faust and everyone who worked and works to bring us the show that changes lives.

And to everyone who helped and helps shape this fandom, people who write, draw, compose, sing and animate; people who comment, discuss, roleplay and spark new ideas; people who guide others into the fandom, accept those who don't want to join and still try to help them to their best extent, and comfort those who are in obvious need of comfort, whether they know them or not.

Stay awesome

Fights between siblings are a part of life. Being the father that has to comfort a crying filly, is also a part of life.

A quick little look into being the parent of an introvert. Fluffy.

Zecora needs a special plant for her addiction-breaking potion! It is difficult to find and obtain, but with Scootaloo's help, what could go wrong? Together they come across and venture to explore an abandoned mine.
The mine is pretty abandoned, really.
There is absolutely nothing down there.
Or is it?

You didn't buy Rainbow Dash a Hearts and Hooves day present.

And now she won't let you come inside.

Fluttershy and Big Mac love each other, so they want to do grown up pony stuff, right? That's what two mature, adult ponies do. So, they do all sorts of lusty things, because they love each other, and are attracted to each other, and stuff.

My name is Ironclaw Strongbeak, though the yellow bird pony calls me 'Elizabeak', and I am a chicken. No, not in the cowardly sense, in the literal one. I have been imprisoned by the bird pony for my entire life, but I have always yearned to be free from her and that nasty controlling stare.

Amongst our kind, there has always been a rumor that there were lands outside the dangerous forest, a land ruled over by a mystical leader called 'The Great Colonel'. Such a chicken would surely free us if he was made aware of our plight. So, imagine my delight when the opportunity to find this mystical land arises...

The Princesses are coming to town, and Twilight has set herself to organizing the perfect spur-of-the-moment, off-the-cuff, impromptu tea-time to welcome them. And when Celestia requests a specific drink, Twilight is determined to get it perfect. Just. Totally. Perfect. The fact that the drink comes from Pinkie Pie is only a minor obstacle.

Luna's asking about cider. Fluttershy is trying to duck out. Dash is out for a refund. Rarity is pumping Twilight for information, and Applejack is wondering where her sales cart is.

In the end, it'll take one special friend to help Twilight get things right.

Special thanks go to Cloudy Skies for goading me into writing with Ponies people have heard of, Helicity and Pick-Six for editing, and all of you for coming and taking a look!

Competition. It drives us all one way or another. Whether it’s to be the fastest flier, the best team, the greatest magician, to steal a land in jealous fury, or simply to beat that other pony to the stall for the last carrot; competition is in all of us.

Some claim that a competitive nature is healthy, and keeps a pony sharp and fit. Others claim it drives ponies apart and should be avoided as much as possible.

Rainbow Dash and Applejack don’t care about any of that. They just don’t want the other to win. Theirs is an unending game of friendly one-upmanship, a constant striving to prove their superiority to one another for no other reason than they can.

Neither of them thought it would ever bring about romance in their lives.
