Starlight Glimmer has a personality that can easily be described as "high-strung". It's to be expected when you nearly doomed all of Equestria in a petty attempt at revenge.

Still, she's trying to make amends. Part of that is learning about friendship under the tutelage of Twilight Sparkle. But Twilight can't teach her everything. After a particularly bad bout of self depreciation, Starlight goes for a walk through the woods and bumps into a very... unique mare.

Twilight Sparkle gets hurt. The natural response is to let slip a bad word. But as she lets out said word of bad, something interrupts her. This is surprising, but not unexpected. Random happenings occur in Ponyville all the time. But then it happens again. And again. Pretty soon Twilight Sparkle suspects that there's some larger force at play. It's time to science the fyay! out of this!

"Time. Time is strange. Time is esoteric. Time is something none of us have enough of.

Some ponies describe time as linear; a straight line with no end. Others describe it as a tangled mess, akin to a tangled ball of yarn where bits of time overlap and interfere with each other. But both of these are wrong. Time is circular. Everything repeats eventually. There comes a point where past meets present, and everything threatens to unravel."

An indirect sequel to Pipsqueak Starts a Gang

There's a springtime dance coming up at school! Pipsqueak decides this is a perfect opportunity to ask his crush to the dance. There's just one problem: Pipsqueak Q. Hoppentrot gets tongue-tied around her! Will Pipsqueak be able to ask this filly to the dance? Or will the ups-and-downs of trying get to him first?

Pipsqueak's won the class election. It's an amazing feeling, being in charge. Ponies listen to Pip more now. But why should he stop there? If other fillies and colts will listen to him, why can't the grown ups too? So Pip finds a way to get more ponies to listen to him. Aided by a group of friends, Pip sets off across town, much to the chagrin of Ponyville's residents.

Spike feels funny. Not sick or anything. Just... funny. Like his legs want to just move. After spending some time thinking on this, he decides he needs to go for a walk. A really long walk that takes him from Ponyville. With Twilight's hesitant blessing, Spike embarks on an adventure that takes him across Equestria and beyond it's borders. It is on this walk that he learns more about the world, friendship, and courage than he would have thought possible.

Princess Twilight Sparkle is the Princess of Friendship. As such, she uses her position to spread friendship throughout the land of Equestria. This is knowledge that everypony knows.

But when a powerful enemy takes advantage of Twilight's friendly nature and attack the peaceful town of Ponyville, things seem pretty bleak. In a last ditch effort, Twilight mails Celestia one last letter in a desperate bid to save a few lives.

I am Ovrik Stonebreaker, son of Urdin Stonebreaker and seventh in line to the throne of the Stonebreaker mountainhome. I was forged from the stone itself, born with an axe in hand. I have been compared to our heroes of old! And I'm trapped in a land of colorful ponies.

May the Gods of the Stone have mercy upon me.
