A collection of short stories with Toby experiencing his first holidays in his new home.

It has been several months since Toby has been brought to the land of Equestria by Princess Luna. His wish came true as he found a family in his loving mother in Equestria, Fluttershy, along with his Aunt Rarity, Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Applejack. After enduring the heartbreaking loss of his mother, and to know that his own father, James was behind it, Toby found a father figure he deserved in Applejack's older brother Big Mac.

He has made wonderful friends in Ponyville such as The Cutie Mark Crusaders who has taken the role of his big sisters, and have made great friends in Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara.

After finally finding a new home in Equestria and letting go of the past as his father lies in jail for his crime, it is time for Toby to experience the great times that come in this new land and celebrate the holidays of Equestria.

Thumbs up if you all want Toby to find a filly on :heart:Hearts and Hooves Day:heart:

2704218
Hmmm was going to suggest maybe sweetie belle? but silver spoons seems like a better idea

2704127>>2704165>>2704166>>2704178>>2704193>>2704222>>2704295 Thank you all for your wonderful support and beautiful comments. Oh, don't worry Hearts and Hooves day is going to be a sweet chapter, but the question remains who will be Toby's secret Hearts and Hooves day admirer maybe? :rainbowhuh::pinkiehappy:

Now we know what happened to that tree disguise.

My heart jumped for joy when I saw this go live! This was awesome! Well done :moustache: where was Papa Big Mac? Wouldn't he be giving hay rides? :eeyup:

I can't wait to read more!

Yes! Oh, I can tell that these shorts are gonna be just great :)

Toby sure had a blast. Wonder what's next for Toby.

I was sort of thinking of it as "Tobuscus in Equestria" sort of thing, I dunno, I read one of those stories a long time ago and it was done in a very...weird way, so I was hoping this would be a more enjoyable rendition of it.
Admittedly, if I were to find a Markiplier in Equestria story, I would probably laugh my fucking ass off. I can just imagine him getting scared on Nightmare Night and shouting out: "HOLY FUCKING BALLS WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK FUCK!"
That or he gets drunk and whenever somepony uses magic you just hear him shouting "POOF (:3)" in the background...

Maybe I should shut the fuck up.

In any case, good story. Me gusta.

2704342 Yep, Fluttershy decided to keep it and dress up to go out on Nightmare Night for your precious little Toby. :yay:

2704454 Don't worry, I plan on having Big Mac in the Heart's Warming Eve Chapter. :eeyup::pinkiehappy:

2704532 Thank you very much. I am going to try my best to make these short stories as good as "A New Home" :pinkiehappy:

2704818 Next, Heart's Warming Eve. :pinkiehappy:

2704921 Yes indiddly deedy! :pinkiehappy:

2704972 Lol..loved the comment and thank you very much. :pinkiehappy:

2705080 i wanted it to be a little comedic during Nightmare Night. :rainbowlaugh::pinkiehappy:

Congratulations on making the featured box! :moustache::moustache::moustache::moustache::moustache:

2705284 Thank you very much, but I owe it all to my wonderful and supportive readers. Because without all of you, I don't know if I could ever write a story such as "A New Home", and now this collection of short stories, and then a sequel. :twilightblush: So I thank you all. :pinkiehappy:

2704283 Sweetie showed quite sights of crush in this one, but yeah, Silver Spoon should be his special pony. First girl gets the boy. Leave the cat fights for their teen years :rainbowkiss:

SQUEEEEE this was just to fluffy
keep this up and you gonna kill a person :yay::rainbowdetermined2:just plain awsome

2705418 I just really love Silver Spoon, ever since I made her feel for Toby during his first day of school when Diamond Tiara was picking on him. :twilightblush:

2705555 Oh, lol.. well, I wouldn't want to do that. :fluttershysad: But thank you always for your kind words. :pinkiehappy:

Rarity Belle

Why'd you call her that? :rainbowhuh:

It's a bit... treacly. Everyone repeating terms of affection and endearment with every sentence. Might wanna go back and take a hatchet to some of those.

As usual, that was way too freakin cute!! Ahh, it appears that Sweetie Belle has a crush on Toby...Can this rp get any cuter?? No, wait!! I withdraw the question!! My heart can't take it!! Haha!!! Fluttershy really became a tree :D Great one shot!!!

The chapter was all right for the most part but it got repititive. (just like RealityCheck mentioned)

Also, it doesn't seem to be like this is becoming a story. It is more like a ''cute slice-of-life'' idea. There seems to be no conflict whatsoever. Not even problems that the protagonist has to face.

If I were you, I would go for a story about Toby entering puberty. It could create some marvellous conflict, because his aging is differently than that of the ponies. And the ponies, who now learn what ''puberty'' is, believe it will somehow corrupt Toby into becoming just like his father, making Toby depressed.

Oookayyyy... I though a "short- story" is a little bit... shorter?

:twilightsmile: "Come on, Sky. It was a really sweet Story with a lot of sweet words."

:moustache: "And you know what this Story makes the best?"

:facehoof: "Tell me he is not..."

:moustache: "I GOT A MUSTACHE!!! Thank you, Mr. Author! :heart: "

:raritywink: "Yes, he is. But, I enjoy the Story, too. Self when the Pranks from Rainbow and Applejack where a little mean"

:ajsmug: "Dont worry, be happy... marshmallow. ;) "

:rainbowlaugh: "Ha.. haha.. hahahahaha!"

:pinkiehappy: "YAY! Cannonball!"

:yay: "I liked it as a tree this night."

:unsuresweetie: :applecry: :scootangel: "CUTIEMARK CRUSADERS! NIGHTMARE NIGHT INSTRUKTORS! YAY!"

Sky Hooves: "Ähh, can I ask a question? Where was his Papa? (I mean the good one :eeyup: ! And not the ...(Here insert term of abuse)...)

:eeyup: "That's right. I wanted to spend some time with my little son as well."

I enjoyed it but was waiting the whole time for something to happen. There seemed to be very little conflict in this story. Now I'll be the first to say that's what little Toby deserves, but it doesn't make for a very interersting read. I'll keep reading though in the hope of something exciting. Besides, the main storyline was too good to ignore a continuation.

2705693 I fixed that now. Thank you for pointing that out. :pinkiehappy:

2705790 Thank you for the advice, I will go back over it and see what I can take out.:raritywink:

2705810 Haha.. yep. :rainbowlaugh: I wanted her to be Fluttertree for this. Yes, it does seem that Sweetie Belle might have a crush on Toby. :twilightblush:

2706335 Don't worry, I am going to give Big Mac a real good part in the Heart's Warming Eve chapter. :eeyup::pinkiehappy:

2706516 Well, thank you, Love that meme. :pinkiehappy:

2706680 Well, I know it will be kind of a pain to wait, but when I get to Toby's birthday in this short story collection, I plan on leaving off with a cliffhanger that will lead into the sequel of "A New Home". :twilightblush:

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY!:pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy:

2706920 Thank you very much, and a comment I think Phil from Duck Dynasty would say as well. :pinkiehappy:

2708302 Aww..I love that picture, thank you for sharing that. Indeed, I think Silver Spoon will be the right special somepony for Toby on Hearts and Hooves day. :pinkiehappy:

2708378 Are you saying my ponimouto will be this chump's special someone?

It was cute. Very cute. A little heavy on the blushing/nuzzling/giggling, but cute nonetheless.

Haha! This still keeps the amount of adorable feels that the last story had! My second favorite shall appear after this comment is posted.

2710838 Thank you for your kind words, I truly appreciate it. :pinkiehappy:

2711033 Thank you very much always. I am going to get started to work on my "Hearth's Warming Eve" chapter today. :pinkiehappy:

2705810 Problem is, Poeticheart would like to make a teen days sequel, and so far, Silver Spoon, Sweetie, and Applebloom (so far :applejackconfused:) will fight over Toby :rainbowderp:

2717196>>2715666 Thank you very much. I am working on my Hearth's Warming Eve chapter now, and I hope to get it done soon to publish. I want to apologize for taking so long though. :fluttershysad:
