Every pony in Ponyville has a story to tell, and the newborn foals are no exception. In this story, we get to hear the stories of several of the foals born at Ponyville General Hospital, all of whom were seen at the beginning of "Baby Cakes". Included are the tales of the Great and Powerful Trixie, Rarity, Derpy Hooves, and the true origins of Pound and Pumpkin Cake.

My name is Celestia. This is a kind of log, an epistolary detailing various portions of my experiences throughout my long life, and several analytical reflections that come to mind at times. Most importantly, it is a collection of personal thoughts as I struggle through my eternal life's hardships.

Now that my purpose has been discovered, I have decided to share these entries with everypony here; perhaps my own shared introspection over my lifetime could provide an alternative way of thinking to some. If not, then I hope I did not bore you. I realize much of it is pointless rambling, but I have chosen several entries that I believe may be of interest.

Enjoy, if you like.

The ponies are sent on vacation to Manehattan. At their hotel, a pony has her apple stolen, and an immediate investigation is conducted by the Manehattan Police Force. This story is a copy of the testimonials given by the eight witnesses as recorded by the Manehattan Police Force. To help you guess the culprit:

Everypony has told at least one lie; the lies are not always intentional.

Everypony has stated at least one truth.

The culprit is one of the Mane six.

An entry for the February Write-Off Competition. I wrote to the prompt: "The Mane six go on vacation."

Inspired by the short story "In a Grove" by Ryūnosuke Akutagawa

Braeburn Apple has always been raised in a conservative household, as a member of the Apple family.

Throughout his life, he's been taught what's 'wrong' and what's 'right', who he was allowed to love, and who he wasn't. Above all, he was told what to be, and how to be it.

When he meets a certain blue Pegasus stallion buying pies at Sweet Apple Acres while he just so happens to be staying there, he discovers feelings he never knew he had.

Unfortunately, they happen to be the same ones he was always taught to suppress.

Can Soarin convince him that it's not wrong to be in love, and that, sometimes, in order to be happy, you need to break out of your comfort zone?

A story about discovering who you are, and being that person, no matter what others tell you to be.

WARNING: M/M, SoarinxBraeburn Coltcuddling! Touches up on some serious social issues in the real world, but with ponies, and at least 20% cooler.

If Equestria was brought up to modern times, how would things be?  How does one attempt to establish a nation-wide infrastructure without being driven mad by the bureaucracy of modern government?  Why do I have to pay $400 just to ride in an ambulance?  If any of these questions have tickled your curiosity, then perhaps you should take a gander at this story series.  While remaining true to modern emergency medical care standards this story brings forth the background characters and (hopefully) provides some much needed comic relief in these troubled times.  While this description may appear serious, I, the author, assure you that the story is anything but serious.

Ponyville Volunteer Ambulance corps of the 3rd battalion is run by newly appointed Director of Operations, Starshine.  Join this rather extravagant paramedic as she deals with the chaos of running an ambulance service, going on calls, avoiding Princess Celestia, and trying to have a social life!  

To assist readers in understanding some of the terms in the story, a glossary is included.  

NEW: Battalion and station listings has been included after the glossary.

Indigo Flash hasn't had the best life. In fact, while he was just a young colt, his entire life started unraveling at the seams. He lost his parents, was driven away from the other ponies his age, and wound up forced into a job that had nothing to do with his special talent, just after he found out what it was. Over time, he learned to live with it, and his life seemed to stabilize, perhaps even become normal. Which made it all the worse when everything falls apart in a single day, and he is left without even the ability to control his own fate.

Once everything is ripped away from a pony, can he ever return his life to the way things were? And even if he can, is it still worth fighting for?
