Caramel was just trying to have a normal day. Running Errands, and trying to have a good day. In Ponyville? The Local hotspot for disaster and destruction? Nah. He met Bane.

Explosions will ensue.

In the future, I MAY rewrite this to where it isn't very rushed considering that I wrote this at midnight and I felt very energetic.

The kingdom is safe. The land is at peace. The story is over.

Now what?

An entry in the fourteenth Quills and Sofas speedwriting competition. Prompt: "A Worthy End."

Only a few hours after she learned of the Griffon Empire's invasion, Princess Celestia surrendered herself to the griffon army and asked for an audience with the Griffon Emperor.

The Emperor thinks she's here to negotiate Equestria's surrender.

He's wrong.

Sometimes, things just plain go wrong. Somepony bumps a hoof against a table end or accidentally sets their elbow on a hot stove, just silly little mishaps.

But when Princess Celestia's routine is thrown into chaos, strange things happen. If only she had her morning tea, everything would be just fine.

After years of tireless work for the good of Equestria, Twilight Sparkle is finally getting her just rewards: a hall named after her in the Royal Canterlot Library!

However she's about to find that earning the honor was a cakewalk compared to trying to actually get there to accept it.

Winner of the August 1000 Word Challenge, written around the prompt words "Denied" and "Accidental". Some slight edits were made post-contest, but the length has been preserved.

Edit: Some people have pointed out the similarity of one of the jokes to a comic made by Glanco Justicar. While this was not intentional, I like to take it as evidence that great minds think alike.

Twilight discovers that a new tea shop has opened up in Ponyville with an owner a bit on the tyrannical and overlordy side. However, business seems to be booming, even if the proprietor is still totally evil... with his prices!

Big thanks to my editors Majin Syeekoh, Skeeter The Lurker, and Themaskedferret for all their wonderful help!

The awesome cover art can be found here.

Rainbow Dash has resigned herself to hiding her feelings for Twilight Sparkle. Discord has decided to help her reveal them. Nothing could possibly go wrong.

Written for the TwiDash Group Abandoned Fic Challenge. The entire first chapter is essentially that contest's prompt.

"I've thrown some pretty super parties in my time, but this one must be off the charts, cause two of my besties are finally trying to hook up! Wait, no, four of them are! Oh my gosh, they're all trying to hook up! ...Maybe this isn't the best party ever after all."

A fun and entertaining party at the Castle of Friendship takes a turn for the awkward (and strange). Rushed, predictable, and very forward romance ensues.

Celestia and Luna announce their retirement and their plans to turn the throne and power over Equestria to the mane 6. Unfortunately, this is the last straw for Twilight, and she goes off on a rant about why this isn't a good idea.

Twilight Sparkle is dead.
Twilight Sparkle is only slightly inconvenienced by this.
