A mother brings her daughter to Canterlot, for enrollment in Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. Together, they face the future.

Once a year, the Night Guards of Canterlot receive a very important shipment, much to the distress of their peers. Flash Sentry has no idea what the fuss is all about.

Luna stepped carefully through the underbrush, torch lighting the way as she used her magic to keep it lit despite the torrential downpour. Her fur was soaking wet, even the parts protected by her cloak. But she did not care. Luna had bigger worries than the rain.

For she was alone.

Ever since Pinkie's birth, Maud has been having some dark thoughts. She wants to kill her little sisters, starting with Pinkie, as she is still the youngest of the three and surely the easiest to end quickly, as she is also the weakest of the three.

Surely as Pinkie is the final installment to the Pies, Maud has endured much already when it comes to dealing and living with her little siblings, but Pinkie's differences from the other members of the family cause her to envy her to no bounds. Inflicted with great jealousy and rage, Maud contemplates the worst and documents her feelings as to what happens after the event occurs.

I wrote this with no real objective. I don't know how it will turn out, but I do know that despite it not being a fic I liked writing in particular, I still worked fairly hard on it. This was very hard to write for me to be honest, as I've had similar thoughts and strange desires to do similar things, I am not proud of these, and even then I still feel guilty for these thoughts, despite them being several years old. I'm over it all, but it still bothers me sometimes...

Lotus is a professional masseuse. She sees the pony below the skin, and tends to coax just as much out of their mouths as their muscles. Late one day, she gives three very different massages to three close friends, all of whom mention a name she isn't familiar with: Applejack.

Princess.

Some hear the word and think of power. Others take it further. To move Sun, to create the cycle of day and night... surely that indicates something more. Something which can be called on. Pleaded with.

Celestia knows what ponies believe about her. She also knows there's no way to make them stop. Because there are times when the most powerful weapon against despair is faith...

...and the blade is always double-edged.

Flitter doesn't like most ponies. There's hardly anything in the world Flitter likes, very few which she can even remotely tolerate, and only a couple which she truly loves. Fluttershy is not in the last two categories. Flitter sees Fluttershy as weak, and weakness disgusts her.

But when you're trying to help someone you love, you'll look for help in a lot of places -- including the cottage of the weakest pony in the world.

And for those willing to listen past their pain, it might be the place where they start to learn what true strength is.

There are things which are not crimes -- things which others are determined to see as crimes in spite of all evidence, truth, and reality, as long as their false perception gets them what they want. After a visit to Barneigh's Exclusive Garments And Saddlebags, Rarity has found herself on the receiving end of that self-enforced delusion, facing anger, accusations, and abuse of power for the smallest reason of all --

-- one created by the smallest minds.
