Being an immortal goddess and supreme ruler of a nation is stressful. But sometimes you just have to cope with weird things. These are short stories about things that might or might not have happened, but were certainly erased from Equestrian history.

Pinkie doesn't tell ponies about Pinkamena and Surprise. The doctors said that they were bad for her, that they were a disease, but she disagrees. Sure, Pinkamena's a bit of a grumpy-pants, but she's still a great friend! She's often the voice of reason to counter-act some of the other two's crazier ideas, after all. Surprise, on the other hand, is a great prank-player, and always up for some fun. She's more like Pinkie, only more hyper. Both are great fun to be around, and they get on well.

Thing is, she knows that if she told ponies about them, then they would be dragged back to the hospital. And then be 'treated' again. None of them want that. Because of this, not even her best not-in-head friends know about them. The three of them have, for years now, been careful enough to keep the existence of Pinkamena and Surprise secret.

This has, of course, gone out the window now that Twilight is hammering on the door after overhearing one third of a conversation, with no sign of anyone else talking.

Hints of F/F shipping inside. Nothing will actually come of it here, though. Maybe in a future story.

Set in the 'Youngverse'

If there is one thing Celestia loves more equally as cake, it's cookies. And she doesn't shy around the fact. She keeps a secret stash of them hidden away in her room where she believes no pony knows of their existence.

Her sister, however, does know of them.

And Luna is very hungry for cookies...

The third and final story from Luna and Celestia's childhood in the 'When they were Young: Luna and Celestia trilogy'.

An ancient tradition, a balance of power, political maneuvering of the highest order.

None of these appear here. Instead, enjoy a lighthearted look at the princesses as they try to figure out how to fit Twilight into one of their favorite activities.

WARNING!:

I've never seen a second of Game of Thrones nor read a single page of A Song of Fire and Ice. This is is no way based off anything from that. You may thank Stryke for the impetus for me to get this done and for the cover art..

Octavia's new to Ponyville, and she just bought a used couch. As it turns out, she has to move the heavy thing clear across town on her lonesome. That isn't the problem. The problem is these damn crazy ponies who won't stop pestering her.

Set in the 'Youngverse'

The attack was sudden for the subjects of the great Box Queen. A powerful Dracony suddenly appeared in the sky, claiming she would lay waste to the small Kingdom and take all its cookies gold for herself.

Only the brave and fearless Queen Luna and her warriors, armed with their deadly accurate pillow catapult, stands between the destruction or freedom for the Box Kingdom.

Seriously, a lot.

(Now with a Spanish translation by the generous SPANIARD KIWI!)

This story is a sequel to Princess Celestia Hates Tea

Princess Celestia helps to banish a hoofful of inner demons lurking deep in the heart of a troubled author. Metafiction, again, ensues. Something of a coda to "Princess Celestia Hates Tea".

Now with a Spanish translation by Spaniard Kiwi!

Derpy Hooves is secretly a changeling.

Nopony particularly notices, or cares.

(New 9/15/19: Spanish translation by Spaniard Kiwi! Thank you!)

It's that day. The one day of the year that Celestia dreads more than anything in the world. And too bad for her, everyone seems intent on making her go through such an awful occasion. Well, at least she gets cake at the end of it.

Thanks to my editors Skeeter The Lurker, Xl9 and The Abyss for all their help!
