If there's one thing Twilight loves, it's learning. Every day she takes a few hours to sit and study, maybe read a book or do an experiment. But today was different. Today she looked at the clock.

And thought.

How did our world begin? Was it some all-powerful, all-knowing deity? Perhaps a giant explosion in the depths of space? Well no, actually. In simplest terms it was a bag of oatmeal.

Hey, there's no reason to call me crazy, our world really did begin with a bag of oatmeal. Just allow me a few minutes to elaborate...

Special thanks to neilthenerd (http://www.fimfiction.net/user/neilthenerd) and Sabre (http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Sabre) for being such great proofreaders! If it weren't for them, this fanfic would be utterly devoid of commas. Read their stuff, they're both better writers than me.

Actually, the thanks have been doubled for Sabre since he also helped with the description.

I wrote a story based on my complex head canon about magic. By the time the story is complete I will have explained where magic comes from, how pony and villain magic is different, why unicorns don't do everything since magic tends to be best way to do things, innate talents, cutie marks, and Pinkie Pie. Don't believe me? Start reading.

Sweet Apple Acres apples have always been the best in all of Equestria, but no one had ever been able to figure out what makes them so great. The Apple family insists it's quality control, TLC, and the hardest working ponies in all of Equestria. Of course, this wouldn't be a very good fanfic if that was all there was to it, so read to find out what the real secret is.

I was feeling a bit down after reading some sadder fanfics, so Im decided to write something a little nonsensical to cheer myself up. Mostly written to make myself laugh, but I hope the rest of you can enjoy it too. May contain mild language and content that may be innapropriate for small fillies.

Memories haunt a stallion's mind, and the tragic experiences keep him awake. His only escape is sleep, but why does sleep elude him? One-shot featuring cameos of many ponies, but focused around OCs. My first story, so please just give it a chance. All feedback is appreciated greatly
