Pinkamena "Pinkie" Diane Pie is Us. In crazy brilliance, We made Pinkie so strange that We would never be suspected, and it worked until the very end. An end that came about, not because We failed, but because of inescapable circumstance.

Now, We must run.

We do not want to think about what they will do to Us if they catch Us.

Following the events of "The Strange Destiny of Prince Blueblood," our semi-hero's life has been flipped and turned upside down.  Despite his attempts to start over fresh, however, his past—both recent and distant—keeps coming back to haunt him and the ponies he cares about.

After his encounter with Ms. Cheerilee and her students, Prince Blueblood decides to leave Equestria and wander the Everfree Forest in hopes of making the world a better place through his absence.  With the help of a rhyming zebra and a restless ghost, he struggles to learn more about himself, his lineage, and his ultimate destiny.  And if he's lucky, maybe he'll even find a reason to survive.

Sequel to "A Teacher with No Class," and continued in "The Prince of Ponyville."

A special guest speaker arrives in Ponyville to teach Cheerilee's class about the inner workings of Equestria's government.  And, well... it's Prince Blueblood.

Enjoy the story?  Everyone's least favorite member of the royal family continues his adventures in "The Strange Destiny of Prince Blueblood."

Today's the day that Applejack is leaving to compete in the Equestria Rodeo, but something's... off. Derpy's been acting strange, even by her usual standards. Eh, it's probably nothing, right? After all, what are the chances that an eccentric mailpony behaving even more oddly than normal could ever be important in the grand scheme of things?

After Derpy Hooves accidentally causes a disaster in some important party at the Ponyville Hall (luckily not killing anyone), she eventually gets kicked out, and decides to move to Canterlot. There, she discovers that not only everypony loves her and accepts her for who she is, but they also pretty much ADORE her... but what to do about her friends in Ponyville?

Based on "Weird Al" Yankovic's "Genius in France" song, 12th track in his Poodle Hat album. I recommend you check out his work sometime, he's got some pretty good stuff besides "White and Nerdy", "Perform This Way" and polka medleys.

Haters and possible murderers are welcome and treated with unsincere respect.
