Mayor Mare, newly-minted Mayor of Ponyville, has big dreams and big plans for her hometown. Now all she needs to do is to navigate the entrenched interests, bureaucratic resistance and political pitfalls that stand in her way. And to top things off, on her first day the Mayor finds out that Princess Celestia is sending her prize student over...

Overarching Themes:
Season 1: Land Reform
Season 2: Democracy
Season 3: Reconciliation

A series of stories, corresponding with every MLP episode (if all goes well), from the view of the bureaucrats at Town Hall. Will try and stay true to canon. (EDIT: With 2 semi-exceptions: 1) Cheerilee is Mayor Mare's daughter, and 2) Princess Celestia is much more uptight when negotiating with officials.)

Inspiration from daily life, the UK series 'Yes, Prime Minister', and to the 'Letters from a Disgruntled Friendship Student' fanfic series by milesprower06.

Coming back to Canterlot shortly before Cadance's wedding to Shining Armor, Celestia and Cadance soon grow bored on the train ride and decide to have a bit of fun...at the expense of a sleeping Luna. Needless to say, the princess of the night is none too pleased with this development and decides to enact some revenge of her own. Hilarity ensues, and bananas may or may not be involved!

Had this idea when I first saw LoCeri's comic, and finally have some time and enough ideas to make a proper story out of it. Just a bit of random fun, not meant to be taken seriously!

Picture used with artist's permission, and seriously, if you haven't already seen his stuff, LoCeri has some awesome and hilarious comics and is definitely worthy of a follow! (Or at least a cookie)

What would you do if you woke up one day to find an Alicorn Princess Goddess passed out drunk on your doorstep, unable to be awoken? Rainbow Dash certainly has her hooves full with this one. How is she going to handle this??

Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Twilight, both princesses, and a couple of guards.
What do these ponies have in common?
Well, they all happened to be in the same room when THIS happened.

This story is a sequel to High Maintenance Alicorn Fillies and You.

While Celestia was defending Canterlot from Chrysalis, one of her spells hits a mirror and splits into four, hitting her, Luna, Discord, and Queen Chrysalis. Cadence arrived on the scene, and now is the mother of four, very powerful foals.

Having no idea how to handle babysitting Changelings, or Draconequus, she leaves Shining Armor to watch over the Crystal Empire and heads to Ponyville to ask six very important ponies what to do.

I mean, a spell that got divided between four can't be permanent, can it?

Spike figures out that Cheerilee is making up reasons to visit Twilight at the library, and Rarity further figures out that it's because she must have a crush on Twilight.

When Ponyville's dedicated fashionista combines forces with Ponyville's only dragon to bring two adorably awkward book loving mares together, nothing can go wrong! Except perhaps, everything!

Oh yeah, and some pony ordered 20 trampolines and a bunch of other stuff that keeps getting delivered to one wrong address after another because of the world's worst delivery pony, Blue Bonnet.. More on that later.

Re-tagged to reflect that it's a Twi/Cheerilee, Mane 6, CMC and Blue Bonnet (Background pony) story.

Also, it's fair to say this is also a AppleDash and Fluttershy / Background pony shipping story. Also ScootaBelle? .
