Pinkie Pie learns that she might be Applejack's cousin. She overreacts with fear and enthusiasm. Eventually, she goes on a journey to speak with the one family member who can confirm her true identity.

I wrote this story, based on the description of the upcoming episode, "Pinkie Apple Pie". I'm going to guess that the episode will take the premise in a completely different direction than I did.

Written for EqD's Writer's Training Grounds #003.

"While helping Twilight Sparkle with her genealogical research, Pinkie discovers another surprising familial connection. Pinkie heads out to investigate."

Pinkie Pie and Scootaloo aren't so different. Small families, unknown pasts, with lots of friends to catch them when they fall, and lots of happiness to share in together. When Pinkie finds that Scoots is potentially related to Rainbow Dash, however, problems arise surrounding how to tell her about it. (PSA: slightly sad near the end.)

Last night, Pinkie Pie exploded. That’s why Rarity is so blood-stained. A police officer interrogates her about it.

Inspired by this song.

Edited by The Abyss, Aragon, and ReFro.

Fluttershy has a crush on Pinkie Pie. She goes to some of her friends for advice. It turns out wooing an energetic pink party pony isn't quite as straightforward as she hoped.

Pinkie Pie has been recruited by Princess Celestia herself to fill in for a sick tuba player for the upcoming orchestra concert in Canterlot. But when she's having trouble with some of the music, the only one who can help her is... Fluttershy?

While spending some time with Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy realizes that it's time to head home. She has several animals that all need to be fed after all. There wasn't an urgent need to be home though, as she had an entire hour to get there. An hour would be enough time to take a walk through town and still make it home...right?

Twilight and Co. set out to exact revenge on Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie for their latest round of pranks. Predictably, things do not go according to plan.

Rarity accidentally flushes Gummy down the toilet, and Pinkie Pie is not happy. Not happy at all.

For all things, there is a last time…

Life is made up of these last times, but we can't know when they will be. There will, for each of you, be a last day that you walk out of your apartments or dorms. There will be a last day you see someone who is now a friend.

There will be a last day that we all meet here, on this odd little slice of the web. There will be a last day that I write a blog. There will be a last story that I submit... there will be a last day that I sign on. The same goes for you.

Six mares. Fifteen pairings. One (insane) fanfic.

Inspired in part by Ringcaat's The Combinatorics Project (and Quill's overwhelming love of all things Joyce), each chapter of Last Kisses takes one possible mane six ship and explores themes of endings, loss, and finality through their very last kiss. There are only two rules:
1) Each chapter is written in a style that reflects the couple's dynamic, or the story being told.
2) Each chapter must end when the kiss is over. No aftermath. No time to think it through. End of the kiss, end of the chapter.

Last Kisses is written as a loving tribute to the works of James Joyce, and was supposed to be written as part of the celebrations of Bloomsday 2015.

Pinkie wakes up sick one morning, which is just about the worst thing she can think of!

But Fluttershy will be there to make things better. Things are always better with Fluttershy around.

Also, check out the artist's deviantArt gallery! His pony stuff is all adorable, and I just went on a massive upvote spree of all his pictures on Derpibooru. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to see a doctor. I think my heart has melted from all the cuteness.
