It's a beautiful day in Ponyville. Then again, every day is a beautiful day for Derpy Hooves.

This story is a sequel to The Hnng-ening

For the first time in years, Twilight tries on her old pair of glasses to figure out if they still induce strange effects in other ponies.

As it turns out, the effect is hugs. Many, many hugs. Unfortunately, she doesn’t know how to make them stop.

Though this story is a sequel, it's a standalone story and doesn't necessarily require any knowledge of the prequel.

Luna's return was met with significant fanfare, though with all the fuss dying down, and with the formal re-establishment of the night court months away, Luna seems to have had little to do other than lounging around.

or so Celestia thinks.

When she finds Luna entering the Ministry of Records unannounced she wonders, Just what is her little sister up to?

Edit: WOOO! Featured on June 2, 2015 (at least in my country's timezone i think) Thanks to everyone!

Rainbow Dash, best pony, fastest flier in Equestria, all around awesome mare, was called upon to help with the wedding of her friend's big brother. And hey, she never leaves her friends hanging! Of course, when it turned out some kind of bug thing had replaced the bride, Rainbow was more then ready to fight. Heck, even after it seemed all hope was lost, the pegasus refused to give up.

So when she saw Shining Armor charge up a final spell, she smirked.

But when that spell reached her and flung her against the wall, her smirk devolved into shock...

Twilight Sparkle is called upon to negotiate trade arrangements with the griffons. Of course, all her friends join her for what should be a casual pleasure cruise in the airship Canvas Streak. After all, this is her first REAL test as a princess, and why shouldn't they support her?

Late one night, though, Applejack feels restless and goes up on deck to watch the stars. She considers her life. She considers her family. She considers her friends. She considers the freak storm approaching from the south.

In retrospect, it might have been better to let the crew handle that and head back below deck.

Now alone on a small island, Applejack must survive and wait for her friends to come pick her up... even though the freak storm is blocking them off. Surviving's easy. Waiting's easy too! She can do this.

....she can do this....

After an incident between Applejack and Rainbow Dash, the two are finding it hard to communicate with each other. However, when a friend suggests a pilgrimage to help Applejack settle her feelings over memories of the past, Rainbow Dash and Applejack find that they may have to redefine their friendship.

This story is a sequel to That's Not Quite How He Told It...

(Takes place right after the appearance of Shining Armor and Cadance in Piercing the Heavens, but there is no need to read the behemoth to enjoy this little short.)

Twilight Sparkle is feeling down, watching her friends find love while she remains alone. She begins to wonder if as the Princess of Friendship, that is all she’s ever destined to have: Friendship. When Shining Armor and Princess Cadance come to visit, she agrees to let her BBBFF help on the matter!

And soon learns that she probably should have asked Cadance instead…

A story about longing and how searching actively for love seldom yields results. Love has a funny way of finding you.

Just because the two sisters have led Equestria through thousands of years of peace doesn't mean there aren't those who think they can do better.

With a powerful artifact on their side, a group of rebels has sealed Celestia in her palace and stripped her of the majority of her powers. As the last of her guards fall, she hears the pounding on the throne room doors and knows the end is coming soon...

**Featured on the front page on 8/12/15; both surprising and flattering seeing as how this is the first thing of substantial length I've posted here. Thanks all!

**Now with a dramatic reading!

For a long time, Twilight and Rainbow Dash have been marefriends, and as time passed on, their love for each other kept on growing.

A simple fic written as a belated birthday present for that jerk my friend, Twilight the Pony.
