It's sunny and nice outside so Thunderlane and Rumble enjoy some playtime at Ponyville playground. It's not just Twilight who has a BBBFF.

This story is part of The Equestria Tales series.

'Doctor Whooves' and 'Roseluck' aren't who they seem. Indeed, barely anypony really knows who they are or where they came from. All they know is that their arrival was rather sudden. One morning, without warning, there they were ready to join the Ponyville population. There wasn't anything suspicious about it, of course. Many, many ponies come to live in Ponyville rather suddenly. That's how it's always been.

It's been two weeks since that day, and while Rose Tyler seems to be adopting the pony lifestyle rather well, the same cannot be said for her alien companion. With no way of escape, what will their lives become in paradise?

Twilight Sparkle is really really bored. She tries to find a way to not be so bored. Gross rationalization of injustice ensues.

Sequel to Dinner with my Love by GingerNutGin.

Fancy Pants and his longtime companion, Fleur de Lis, appear to live a charmed life at the top of Equestria's high society. However, left unspoken is the creeping ennui and realization that their lives are a lie, and a bland one at that. Something somewhere has to break... and it will.

Every Hearth's Warming Eve, Twist gets a brand new pack of crayons. There's only one that she uses though, and that's the blue crayon. It was the color of her Mommy, after all. Why shouldn't she use it? It may not be her special talent, but coloring always makes everything better, doesn't it?

A unicorn looks down upon an ant and thinks about his doom. What is a spark of light in a form so tiny and lowly? Its growth is but insignificant to his own, so why watch it? Why not just walk on down his own path to survival?

Those not born with the ability all dream of a chance, if only for a few moments, to fly.

Even if he is merely a tortoise with a simple mind, Tank was no different that the millions of other dreamers that covet the sky. Ever since his Yellow Mistress helped him hatch from his egg, he always marveled at those who have the capabilities.

As of yet though; he has not appeared at any of the pet play dates, nor has The Blue Mistress. If anything, the two are rarely even seen together. Concerned, Owlowicious attempts to consult with Tank whist they fly regarding the matter. The two have grown close since Tank has been fitted for the peculiar contraption strapped about his shell, despite their differences.
