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.

When Luna returned to Equestria and discovered the tradition of the Nightmare Night holiday, the moon pony took great delight in the concept of "trick or treat."

Delight that often... ok, always, came at Celestia's expense.

Tired of being the proverbial plot of the joke, Celestia decides to treat Luna to some tricks of her own.

TWO mares can play at this game.

Thanks for making this a feature, guys!

Curse that dratted mailmare!

Bon Bon makes candy. It's just in her nature. She's done it since she was very small. However, many of her usual customers are going to Canterlot, for Doughnut Joe has revealed new pastries and candies the likes of which Equestria has never seen. Bon Bon isn't happy about that, so when she discovers that the secret ingredients for Joe's candies are being transported from Ponyville by Derpy, she gathers some cohorts together to stop that Derpy!

Inspired by the old cartoon Dastardly and Muttley in their Flying Machines.

Now with a Spanish translation by Spaniard Kiwi!

Field Player is a traveling performer who specializes in audiovisual illusion. After a show in one of the friendliest towns he's been to, he decides to sample a little local flavor. One mare was especially dazzled by the show. Wooing her should be easy enough, right?

A much-expanded entrant in the July 2015 Writeoff Competition. Prompt: "Best Laid Plans."
Rated Teen for suggestive dialogue.

Sweetie Belle doesn't really understand why she decided to spend the day with the young colt. Most ponies saw him as a bit eccentric, but Sweetie sees something far more familiar and comforting in his odd-ball behavior.

Based on the Button's Adventures Pilot, produced by JanAnimations. I'd advise taking five minutes to watch it if you haven't seen it yet.

Now on Equestria Daily!

Sergeant Stronghoof has been given the highest honor that a guard can hope for. Without being promoted to Captain of the Guard, that is. He has been given the assignment to be a bodyguard to Princess Cadence herself; during her wedding no less!

Now, technically he shouldn't listen in on her when she's getting ready for her wedding, but she's rumored to have a lovely singing voice. Once she begins singing, he overhears some interesting things.

Written because while This Day Aria is a spectacular song that I adore, I can't help but feel that her singing so loud would have attracted attention, especially when you consider that Twilight heard what the real Cadence was singing.

A Diamond Dog king, feeling bold after gathering an army of 100,000 dogs, decides the best way to flex his new muscles would be to invade Equestria for past perceived slights. As such, he sends a letter to Princess Celestia with a declaration of war.

It goes about as well as you'd expect.

Some days are rainy. Some days are normal. Some days you have to go out and save the world with your friends using magic necklaces.

Some days you have to fight off a schoolyard full of foals who have decided to attack you for no discernible reason. For Twilight Sparkle, this is one of those days.
