Working on a farm is not easy.

Sunup to sundown, in the burning summer heat, harvesting the crop that brings you your livelihood, can be pure torture. Big Macintosh knows this all too well.

Thankfully, today he has a very good reason to tough it out.

"It is so hard to find a sitter with a sense of humor for Lil' Cheese." Pinkie never imagined just how much those words would come back to haunt her, but now they have. Called to Canterlot for the annual Council of Friendship meeting, she must leave her son behind.

As luck would have it, Cheese Sandwich is also unavailable to foalsit, as his "Cheesie Sense" is calling him back to Manehattan to plan a birthday party for one of his relatives. So now he and his wife have to find a foalsitter on short notice.

To the relief of both parents, a candidate soon steps forward despite her lack of experience in dealing with Lil' Cheese: Diamond Tiara. Can Diamond Tiara break the curse that has plagued so many other foalsitters for the child of Pinkie and Cheese? Or will Lil' Cheese prove to be too much even for her?

(Semi-related to The Sitter with the Diamond Tiara, though it is not required for you to have read that story to understand this story. Proofread by deadpansnarker.)

Lil' Cheese is going back to school, and he's extremely nervous because he's going to have a brand new teacher. Both his mom and his dad try to reassure him that he'll be just fine, but still the colt worries.

It just so happens that the one now teaching Lil' Cheese's class is a pony Lil' Cheese has had prior experience with. A most unexpected pony at that.

Mrs. Diamond Tiara is confident she's more than up to the task of helping Lil' Cheese out. And by the time it's done, Lil' Cheese might just learn more than he ever expected to.

Cadence has come down with a terrible flu. Luckily, one pony is always there for her.

Whenever Luna asked Celestia to build a snowmare with her, they never seemed to have the time.

And then their time together was lost for a thousand years.

Mistmane wanders through the garden, reflecting on the days when she was the beautiful mare in the world.

A little nudge from a couple of their friends might be enough to bring them together.

This is a story that I've been tinkering with for a long time, but it was only earlier this week that I finally managed to sketch it out into a proper story. Romance isn't my forte, but I hope that you enjoy it nonetheless!

Sunburst has gotten into the habit of waking up early on every Hearts and Hooves day to make breakfast for them.

Starlight doesn't know what to make of it until much, much later.

_{Just a little StarBurst fluff for the holiday (a very, very late one, but still!). Enjoy!}

This story is a sequel to Poneo and Fillyet

Snuggling.

This can only end in fuzz.

(And candy, but mostly fuzz.)
