Princess Twilight Sparkle is tired of being a stunningly attractive spinster, so she decides to ask out the pony of her desires (whom she decides is Applejack). As is par for the course, things don't go exactly as planned, but Twilight learns valuable lessons about magic and friendship in the process.

A series of moments from Derpy's life, most of them less than cheerful.

Sorry.

On a perfect summer evening, Fluttershy takes a stroll to the beckoning of a nearby clearing in the woods - but when she finds Princess Luna enjoying the same moonlit evening, a feeling starts to brew inside that she can't explain - so, what more can she do but go back in search of answers?

Based on a lovely drawing by ButterCup Saiyan, done for the MLPG Friend-Off.

A place where ponies can go to have their fantasies brought to life. A young colt finds himself asked by invitation only, as all the clients are. He's not sure if he belongs, and as he discovers more about the strange boutique and how it works, he becomes less and less sure about his patronage - and more and more bewildered by the idea of 'fantasy' and what it means to want something that might never be real.

A story for the friend off, based on Obsidian Solitaire's "The Cutest Thing..."

My first attempted at 'real' writing... apologies to everyone looking for the usual stuff. Will return to regularly scheduled content soon.

During a hot, boring summer, Scootaloo heads down to the ice cream stand in search of something cool and refreshing. When she runs into Sweetie Belle, who's put on a couple pounds since the end of school, she finds herself feeling hotter instead of cool, as well as more than a little confused.
