The variable nature of autumn makes it impossible for a dignified mare like Rarity to properly dress for the weather. Clearly the thing to do is altering the schedule through breaking into Rainbow's office. Isn't that right, Twilight?
Rarity can (just barely) accept that Fluttershy would like to be a tree. The several hundred other ponies at the convention are giving her some trouble.
You know that mare scream that's been in just about every film for the last few moons? The incredibly distinctive one which can't be mistaken for anything else? Guess who just figured out where it came from.
Ponies planning to travel outside Equestria may wish to note that meteorology is not an exact science. (Preferably, this should happen before they go mad.)
After yet another year of missing out on an athlete's ultimate honor by a single vote, their father is going to the Immortal Livery -- to induct a rival. And he's bringing Rarity and Sweetie along for the ride. Possibly not the best idea...
So scheduled weather means never getting a surprise day off from school? There have to be enough traces of anger in this town for the Crusaders to conjure up one storm! ...surely...
You would normally think there's no way for a simple change to the palace's water pipes to cause this much trouble. But before you start thinking that, you should probably know it's Crackfic Week.
In which Rarity learns that her ideal mane-and-tail shampoo has gone out of production forever and so experiences a perfectly reasonable (and logical!) series of reactions.
There's probably a perfectly reasonable response to seeing a glowing tortoise slowly making his solitary way across the Trottingham fairgrounds. Pity about the local lack of perfectly reasonable ponies.
Scootaloo's living situation on the Acres is strictly temporary. Her parents will arrive to resolve things any day now. And then maybe Applejack will learn what 'responsibility' really means.
As facts go, Celestia can always remember 'Why don't we let first-year Gifted School students have a project fair?' is a horrible idea. Everypony else usually needs about eighty years to forget that.
After Celestia's School For Gifted Unicorns runs out of repair money and no more can be found in Equestria's budget, Luna invents a means to raise the funds. Now if she can just keep it from destroying the nation's economy...
When Fluttershy is away on an Element-Bearer mission, she has a first choice for substitute caretaker: Snowflake. He can handle just about everything the job requires. Except for -- the rabbit.
Trotting in endless circles while searching for an empty space tends to focus the mind. Rarity & Pinkie just don't have much influence over the subjects.
When Mr. Rich signs on to distribute seven different free samples in seven days, what could possibly go wro -- wait. It's Ponyville. What could possibly go right?
There are those who say that darkness makes the world close in. Spike, who once spent a sleepless night walking at Luna's side, knows the truth as something opposite.
It's so easy for Rarity to feel pity for those less fortunate than she, to give of herself in the name of helping. But even Generosity only has so much to give.
All Shining Armor has to do in order to make his mother's medical tests go smoothly is to make sure she doesn't eat or drink anything. It should be a simple task for a colt who's on his game. (Unfortunately, it's a night game.)
Keeping a newborn's uncontrolled magic from wrecking the house during a foalsitting evening requires an experienced professional! -- or a teenager who hasn't figured out what the job actually requires. (The teenager is initially cheaper.)
The good news: having her false ID summoned for jury duty means Chrysalis' disguise is perfect. The bad: running out on it would break her cover. (Why do queens always wind up with the hard decisions?)
Getting passing grades through copying off Silver Spoon has served Diamond Tiara well. But Cheerliee just forced Diamond to switch desks and now the only ponies she can cheat off are -- Snips & Snails. How can she make them study and save her?
Many ponies believe inviting animals into their residence is the perfect way to lower stress. In the case of the La-Ti-Da Spa, no one was actually invited.
After Rainbow Dash accidentally says the wrong two words to exactly the wrong unicorn, she learns a lesson about the power of language -- in more than one way.
Flitter thinks Fluttershy is the weakest pony in the world. Flitter has never confronted what Fluttershy's job really means. Nopony ever wants to or should. Now Flitter has to. And 'weak' will turn out to be exactly the wrong word.
Ever wonder what the Cutie Mark Crusaders' collective juvee incident file looks like? Well, nopony has the strength to reproduce several thousand pages, so a few excerpts will have to do... if your sanity can survive it.
Joyous Release has what she feels to be the worst talent and cutie mark in Equestria. She's approached Luna with a simple request: that the Princess rid her of both -- forever. A simple request which happens to be impossible...
Never, EVER ask Rarity to make a Nightmare Night costume. Or deal with the ones which come to her door. Or... anything, really, because the greatest horror of the holiday is currently giving out treats at the Boutique...
Fluttershy's mark gives her the ability to communicate with animals. Unfortunately, no matter what those ponies who own pets might believe of their companions, the majority of animals are really stupid.
As far as the worst squad member in the short history of the Crystal Guard is concerned, every new day is the one when he'll finally be fired. Because the only thing Flash Sentry truly knows about his life is that it shouldn't have brought him here.
All Rarity wanted to do was take a shower. A new kind of shower, using something nopony had ever owned before. So really, how could everything else possibly be her fault?
As Twilight's starting to learn, being a Princess comes with certain responsibities. Ceremonies to attend. Functions to host. And of course, being properly kidnapped, on schedule, as contractually obligated -- wait. What?
When a new mission for the Element-Bearers (from an unexpected source) arrives three weeks after Twilight's ascension, she finds herself forced to confront a pair of questions: what truly makes an alicorn? And what happens if it goes wrong?
