It's called garbage can, not garbage can't.

E

Twilight feels terrible. Spike was sick in the night. As the Princess of Friendship goes about trying to make her day better, she finds that all her friends are in poor spirits as well. Could there be some outside force intent on ruining their lives?

And is there any way to salvage their dreary, unpleasant day?

Can't wait to read.

I can't tell you how many times I've woken up to find a bad day in my path. I don't usually find a solution in real life, but this fic brings a relatable smile.

Nice Job.

P.S before some grammar Nazi attacks and gives you a hard time

I've one two games to your one, and you know it.

6081549 I get this all the time. I live in a house with seven other people, and usually when things go to hell, I take an hour out of my evening to go downstairs and say hi. It usually makes me feel better.

I guess friendship really is magic in that regard.

Sorting socks! How awful! That wretched fiend, Order!

6082096 There is simply no excuse for sock sorting.

I mean, I've sorted socks. It's like halfway between your brain melting and picking glass out from under your fingernails. And I can never find all of them.

In fact, I think I have nothing but mismatched socks. I've given up trying to get them to match,

I miss parents.

Well then... it's a relatively simple story, but it's got a good premise, and nice pacing.

Plus a lot of times the best things in life are simple. Sort of like Applejack's idea for a picnic; no extensive planning, no schedule checking, just some spur of the moment decision that's too tempting to resist.

6082340 Yeah, that was pretty much what I was going for this time around.

Thank you for a nice read! ;3

I know Discord's feeling. There ALWAYS seems to be one sock without a twin. Drives me almost to beers. Except I don't drink beer. Silly me. BTW, "it's" and "its" is a common mistake. Use "its" when describing a noun, such as "he", "she" or "its". Since "it" is genderless, "his" and "hers" are not used. When using "it's", this is a shortened version of "it is", such as "It's a lovely day."

Examples of this in your story, which is wonderful by the way.

She could see the grease and oil on its surface and the hardened edges that had dried out in the fridge. She threw it in the bin as soon as she could; she'd get her breakfast somewhere else. Maybe a café?

Fluttershy tried sipping at the mixture, her face twisting in disgust. Aspirin was not known for its fantastic flavour. Finally, she swallowed the whole thing in one go, and resisted the urge to retch it up again.

P.S. May I suggest changing some of the same words to the same implication, but different word selection? Example: In the beginning, change some of the "stomach" words into "it" when it flows right. Also, before Twilight gets to Discord in the orchard, "she" could be replaced with her name, "Twilight", or her characteristics, "the lavender unicorn", or something similar. Just a friendly tip.
P.S.S. When Twilight is visiting Fluttershy, some "throw up"'s could be replaced with "puke" to avoid redundancy. Another friendly tip.
Thanks for hearing me out!

6084012 Sweet. I've been going through the story to look at what you've pointed out.

Thanks a bunch! Glad you enjoyed it.

literal tidal wave of bad luck

Literally not able to be literal.

6084012 Encouraging Lavender Unicorn Syndrome, I see.

Sad but true. Hope it's not contagious.

Nice one.

I think this thing would even make an episode (or a good chunk of an episode) I liked even the morale at the end.
Very well done.

Have a like and this fancy moustache for the fitting friendship letter in the end. :moustache:

P.S. I hid the yellow sock in a stack of (slightly different) yellow socks in Luna's bedroom

6135897 Cheers! Glad you enjoyed it.

Have you wrote one about Luna and Tiberius?

6146954 Who's Tiberius?

6147056 Luna's pet possum.

6147111 I don't believe I've ever written a story about Luna's pet possum yet, I'm afraid. I wasn't aware she had one.

8783948 Cheers, friendo. Nice review, too. I was kinda halfway between learning new approaches and being brand new at writing when I wrote this, so in hindsight it's quite a strange story for me to think about. It's in an awkward place between 'I had no idea what I was doing' and 'I'm pretty sure I've got this'. I actually haven't given it much thought in a long while, and perhaps I should. The reminder is refreshing, and I could probably benefit from thinking about my older stuff more.
