Somethings wrong with me, I can't help it, she's making me her own puppet, her own slave. I'm her and she's me but how was she speaking to me!?

She has a plan and I know I'm apart of it....

Maud Pie is a simple pony in a complicated world filled with nearly-impossible-to-understand creatures. Why don't others just say what they mean instead of using all those unnecessary words? Why don't they understand her when she says exactly what she means? If she tries to provide proper context to help them, they get bored. Still, she tries her best to be clear and make herself understood, even in the face of questions whose context is most of her life and the geological history of the world. In those little pauses before she speaks, Maud thinks fast. This is one such question.

When the Pie family visits Maud for the holidays, their holiday plans are interrupted by a panicking Starlight Glimmer who finds her friends meant to put on the yearly Heart's Carol performance for the School of Friendship.

With only Pinkie spared, Starlight needs five new actors. Pinkie happens to have five family members visiting. It's perfect!...hopefully.

At Mudbriar's funeral, Starlight Glimmer struggles to be a friend; she and Maud reflect on roads not taken. (Igneous and Pinkie provide flavour, rock and candy-based respectively). Also, there is the mirror lake....

Note: This site suggests "Mud Briar", but "Mudbriar" is what the fandom wiki uses and, for purposes of this tale, it sounds more poetic.

You remember the Phineas and Ferb episode ‘Let’s take a Quiz’, right? What if, instead of being blasted with the shrinkinator, they were teleported to Equestria? Pie Rock Farm to be exact.

Pinkie hosts a game show, and somehow she knows the ‘Let’s take a Quiz’ rules and stuff.

Igneous Rock and Cloudy Quartz's newborn child is in danger of death, but one last desperate solution may save her.

(previously part of One Shots From Equestria but I decided to make it its own story)

This story is a sequel to The Iron Horse: Everything's Better With Robots!

Introducing your family to your girlfriend can be tough. Not telling your family that your girlfriend is a ROBOT is not going to make it any easier...

After over a year together, Maud Pie is finally introducing Turing Test, her robot girlfriend, to her parents. The real problem: her traditionalist parents have the final say on her partner, and now she and Turing only have until Hearth's Warming Day to win the Pie family's approval. If they fail, then the only Hearth's Warming gift they'll be receiving is heartbreak.

An assassin is on the loose, assassinating ponies who he's been hired to. This assassin will stop at nothing to complete his job. Some ponies know his reputation and will hire him. It's not cheap at all to do so. Will the Mane 6 or any other ponies be able to stop him? Or will he quit?
