Twilight Sparkle starts to learn about gravity-manipulation spells after Princess Celestia sends her a book on the subject. Casting the spell is easy, but cancelling it, not so much, and Twilight soon finds herself without a hoof on the ground when she becomes the accidental target of her own magic.

On any other day, Twilight could deal with this. But with representatives from the prestigious Canterlot School of Magic due that evening to consider a possible annex in Ponyville, Twilight must find a way to be able to attend the event without revealing her foul-up.

Twilight Sparkle is in a foul mood and wants nothing more to be alone after a magic mishap with Rainbow Dash.

Pinkie Pie wants to help cheer up Twilight, and decides to write a story for her, with the help of Spike.

Little did Twilight know this was a bad idea from the start.

ETA: I am relieved to state this story predates issues #15-16 of the IDW comic series, which similarly involves book stories coming to life, albeit in a different setup and resolution. Also, as this was already set canonically before the finale of Season 3, I don't consider there any retcon issues with the reveals of S4E4 of the show, as well as working within the premise that S4E6.

Soil Tiller has had no luck in selling her produce anywhere else in Equestria, and is hoping for better fortune at Ponyville’s farmers' market, despite the odd looks she's gotten and strange stories she’s heard about the town. But they all can't be true, right?

It's just another normal day in Ponyville. Pinkie's tending to Sweet Apple Acres, and Rarity's got the weather under control. Fluttershy's anxiously planning for a big bash the next day, while Applejack works her latest fashion line for Hoity Toity. And Rainbow Dash is preparing to shelter several critters from the Everfree Forest from a rampaging cockatrice.

Absolutely nothing can go wrong.

After the ineffective advice from Iron Will, Pinkie takes the timid Fluttershy under her hooves to teach her to face her fears, at the same time that Twilight and her friends notice things have gone very much amiss around Ponyville.

Ponyville is being threatened by the ravaging gang of drakes, Krastos’ Krew, looking to eat the town out of house and home! Brute force won’t work against these creatures, but Twilight Sparkle comes up with a plan to end their threat once and for all. A plan that rests on the shoulders of...Fluttershy?!

When Twilight learns that Trixie is asking for a rematch, she frets trying to find something to boost her magical power. Pinkie Pie knows of a prize in a competition that can do the job, but alas, it is a competition only for earth ponies. Or is it...?
