After feeling betrayed by Babs Seed, the one pony besides Silver Spoon that Diamond Tiara actually tried to open up to, the young filly returns home feeling heartbroken.

But then, the filly finds friendship not in the form of a pony, but in the form of an innocent little animal, who simply wants to listen to Diamond Tiara's problems and be there for her.

During King Sombra's reign over the Crystal Empire, Mother's Day has been little more than a holiday to dismiss as no longer important in his life. Now, facing a destiny-altering decision that may cost him his iron-hoofed grip on the Empire, he has to face the fact his pony half needs and still wants the advice of a creature who not only leads the most feared race in Equestrian history, but also happens to be his mother.

Maud Pie was such a prolific poetry writer, having written thousands and thousands of poems. Sure, they were all about rocks, but still she wrote thousands of them.

Pinkie Pie decided she would try her hoof at poetry.

Here is one of her brilliant and amazingly spectacular works.

Which is about cupcakes.

Who would have thought, eh? I certainly didn't see that one coming.

Oh wait, I'm the narrator. Oops.

Filly Pinkie has just come from her latest sensational party. Hyped up with energy she decides to go for a walk before going home, when she happens upon a scared pegasus huddled in a bush. She had fallen down from Cloudsdale earlier, as she had once before.

Pinkie Pie slowly gains Fluttershy's trust by being friendly and respecting her boundaries, and the two of them become fast friends. As Fluttershy falls asleep Pinkie keeps watch over her until her family can pick her up. Having never been too close to a pegasus, Pinkie gets a little TOO interested in the extra appendages.

Set a few years into the future, this story focuses on the adventures of the older Cake Twins. Much like Friendship is Magic itself this story has no true conclusion, and is always ongoing so long as I have the ideas for it.

Six year old Pound and Pumpkin have grown up a little from the babies they used to be, but there is still much to learn about maturity, working together, and friendship. Working together they protect and love each other, and some days they can't stand each other and get into horrible fights. At the end of the day they always come back together, hating being away from their other half.

Pound is very impulsive, acting without thinking, and talking tough even when he can't back it up. He has no hesitation at attacking others for picking on his sister, insisting that's a privilege only he can enjoy. The unofficial leader, he's usually the one to think of idea's, and also the first to sulk or get depressed when things don't go his way.

Pumpkin is the more rational one, the voice of reason. However, she's still apt to go along with Pound's ideas simply because its better than being alone, and she doesn't want him to get hurt if she's not around.

Together they can overcome anything that comes their way.

Eleven months for a baby foal to be born. Eleven months of walking around with some pony growing inside you. Eleven months of waiting.

Love Tap and her family are eagerly awaiting a new addition to their family. It should be any day now…
