Happy Nightmare Night, one and all! Come gather round for a horrific series of stories by the Cutie Mark Crusaders themselves in an attempt to gain their Cutie Marks!

Be warned though, some stories may make you wet yourself in fear... Or, most likely not. Still, a scary story is a scary story. And, who knows? Our little Crusaders may yet get a mark on their flanks this Nightmare Night...

This Nightmare Night, the Cutie Mark Crusaders decide to not go out and trick or treat. Instead, they lock themselves high in their clubhouse to take part in a new tradition: telling scary ghost stories. How long will it be until fear takes them away? Probably a very long time with how some of these stories are told...

When Cheerilee asks her students to write an essay on their greatest hero, there's only one stallion Rumble can write about. That is none other than the stallion who's loved, protected, and cared for him the most. The one who's been there when nopony else has. The one who guides him, provides for him, and leaves big horseshoes for him to fill someday.

Takes place before "Wonderbolt Academy".

Rated Everyone.

Hunger grips at us all... But have you ever been so hungry for one single thing that you were willing to break the laws of reality to get what you wanted? Sunset Shimmer sure did. That's why she embarked on this crazed mission to risk life and limb for her true love: Steak. And, if she happens to find a leather jacket to bring home? That'll just be a bonus.

The suspense! The thrills! The goofy-comedy! All while keeping a horrible secret under it all! What will happen? Find out!

Spin-off of: "Know Your Mare" and "Shimmer, My Big Bad Sis."

Vinyl Scratch's long awaited album is finally going to be released, but she needs somewhere that would fit the darker themes. Somewhere like, say, an abandoned psychiatric hospital rumored to once be the resting place of Nightmare Moon.

Dragging her roommate Octavia along, they soon discover something darker than imaginable has taken up residence in the abandoned corridors. Something that has no plans to let them leave.

Inspired by VinylScratchDjPony and his song/artwork for "Mah Evil Pet" over on YouTube, which he graciously allowed me to use for coverart.

Also, a prereader (ImJustAnotherBrony, who else?) would like to stake the claim that he was first to use the nickname 'Tavi', so I guess due credit to him. Or something.

Note: One hour writing challenge
The joys of creations are a wondrous thing, the endless possibilities and the countless influenced by the wonders of those who fight to see their creations live and reach out to them.
But sadly, there comes a time for everything to fade away...

Checklist for driving to the Everfree Northwest brony convention:
1. Get a map; 2. Pack the car; 3. Discover a wounded Queen Chrysalis...
4. Go on a roadtrip anyway

Spike figures out that Cheerilee is making up reasons to visit Twilight at the library, and Rarity further figures out that it's because she must have a crush on Twilight.

When Ponyville's dedicated fashionista combines forces with Ponyville's only dragon to bring two adorably awkward book loving mares together, nothing can go wrong! Except perhaps, everything!

Oh yeah, and some pony ordered 20 trampolines and a bunch of other stuff that keeps getting delivered to one wrong address after another because of the world's worst delivery pony, Blue Bonnet.. More on that later.

Re-tagged to reflect that it's a Twi/Cheerilee, Mane 6, CMC and Blue Bonnet (Background pony) story.

Also, it's fair to say this is also a AppleDash and Fluttershy / Background pony shipping story. Also ScootaBelle? .

When Spike asked Twilight to help him create The Noble Dragon Code, he hoped a lot of things would happen.

Getting worshipped as a god by legions of theologically-inclined dragons wasn't really one of them but, hey, whattcha gonna do? Them's the breaks, kiddo.

Princess Celestia, tired of the constant pressure that ruling a nation puts on her, decides to take a day off and let Luna take her responsibilities for a day, something the younger alicorn is more than happy to do. She disguises herself as a pink maned pegasus pony named Sunny Skies and decides to go walking around Canterlot without any supervision. Unfortunately for her, not all parts of Canterlot are as safe as the palace, and she finds herself at the wrong end of a gang of muggers, who decide to kidnap her for a ransom when they see how much money she has on her.

Luna freaks out.

Celestia thinks it's hilarious.
