This story did not explode! What a relief and/or letdown.

Part of OPERATION CRACKFIC STORM 2024 ( group | stories ).

Thanks to Silk Rose for coming up with the idea, writing chapters 22 and 9, and developing the code; thanks also to Meadowsys for general code help.

Thanks to IrradiatedPirateBooty ( tumblr ) for the awesome character art.

And thanks to everyone in the comments who stuck around for the final countdown!

It is not difficult to grasp the notion that Rainbow Dash has very little in the ways of scientific or thaumatic knowledge. But, sadly, that doesn't stop her from having ideas. It especially doesn't stop her having ideas that are based on the assumption that she does have some amount of scientific or thaumatic knowledge.

In short: try not to be within ten miles of Rainbow Dash when she has ideas.

Ponies don't fish.
But even when they do, they have the decency to do it with the appropriate gear.
Although, why would anyone buy gear if you can do without it?

Completely inspired by the artwork used as a cover (used with permission). Silly little thing I wanted to work on the side of other projects.

When Twilight Sparkle brought the human internet to Equestria, among the many consequences, there was one she hadn’t anticipated:

Princess Celestia falling for e-mail scams.

Disclaimer: I'm not saying this is a crackfic, but I'm also not saying that.

Finally, it was here. Power Ponies issue number four-hundred and nineteen, the grand finale of the 'Spectacular Siege of the Silver Stallion' arc. Spike had completed all the chores on his list, finished his afternoon nap, and ploughed through his dinner. He'd even eaten all his green vegetables. At last he could settle down, with a small bowl of gems to snack on, and experience the most anticipated comic issue in living memory.

Sadly for him, Twilight was acting strange. At least, stranger than usual.

For context, set prior to the events of the Season 4 Finale 'Twilight's Kingdom'.

They're all being rude or ignoring her!

It must be an attack by a vile villain, she never did truly trust that fiend Starlight!

At Cadance’s foal shower, Luna discovers a squeaky toy that Celestia chose for their unborn great-niece. Craziness ensues.

Everypony knows that Celestia is the princess of Equestria. She's been one for as long as anypony could remember, and she will probably be for generations to come. Some would even argue that there is no 'Celestia' without the 'princess' before it.

And yet, this morning Celestia has no idea why she is a princess, and her subjects have no idea why she isn't being one.

Right Angle, Ponyville's resident building inspector, has seen a lot of strange domiciles in his life. Twilight Sparkle's castle, however, just might be the strangest.

The castle seems to think so, too.

Inspired by a discussion with the lovely Perfectly Insane. A big thank you to ChudoJogurt, gapty, and AllThatShimmers for prereading.

Ko-Fi. Y'know. If you feel like it.

Can't an ordinary pony who lives in an extraordinary seaside town have one day, just one normal day, without anything going wrong? Posey sure wishes that things were that simple that grasp. It seems as though the day has other plans for her.
