Now with a Spanish translation by Spaniard Kiwi!

Mac and Dash end up having drinks with a couple they meet in Manehattan. The couple makes some assumptions they shouldn't have about Dash, and she gets her feathers ruffled.

Twilight Sparkle has important friendship problems to solve. However, that's hard to do with a "reformed" villain following you around all day.

(Context for later readers: This is based on the old Season 5 buzz when Starlight Glimmer — who got beaten in the Season 5 opener but escaped — canonically showed up in the background of the café in "Amending Fences". It was a big deal at the time.)

Sunset Shimmer has had a long day. Intending to relax and blow off some steam, she has an eventful encounter with a recent diary entry from somepony she didn't expect.

This story now has an audio reading!

Having discovered her special talent, Babs Seed now has the chance to learn from Equestria’s greatest manestylist. It’s a dream come true! Or is it?

During a lull in the conversation at an upper class charity dinner, Rarity takes a moment to contemplate some commonly held assumptions made of Princess Celestia. Specifically, her table manners.

Nine-year-old resident wimp Doldrum Whimper has a dream: to bulk up and become the buffest colt his town has ever seen, so he'll get some respect in school and no one will pick on him ever again. Except he's not actually bulking up from his current program.

But not to worry, the Rainbow Falls Traders Exchange has items for everyone's interests, and that includes the old strong stallion books that were all the rage back in the day. Why, there's tonnes of books about making winners out of wimps.

Only... one problem: he's only got enough for one trade, so he has to pick the right one.

This is going to be tricky.

Author's note: set in the same universe as Passiflora's Plight and Junior Flight Camp, taking place in between the events of those two. Reading either is not required for the purposes of this story, it just clarifies a few details.

For as long as she can remember, Scootaloo has hated her mother. She hated the mare who left her behind on the Ponyville Orphanage steps without a backwards glance. She hated her mother for leaving her father to suffer a life without either of them. She hated that selfish coward who couldn't stand to look upon her own baby's weak little wings and be proud of the daughter she had foaled, come what may. She hated her for everything, for she was the mare who ran away.

She's the same mare Scootaloo's running to now, the same mare about whom she'll learn the truth surrounding her abandonment.

She's the same mare who never stopped loving her baby.
