How did the festival in Starlight's village get its name? Perhaps a certain pony wandered into town one day, a pony who knows firsthoof about making a huge mistake, and what's needed for everypony to get over it...

Principal Celestia had always looked up to Miss Harshwhinny. The stern, professional woman was the rock of the school. They were friends, even though they never met outside of work.

Until the day Harshwhinny invited her to dinner.

Rain Shine has a problem. Well, Autumn Blaze says it's a problem. But really, how can Rain Shine risk going full Nirik at the first political meet up in the kirin's history?

Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, for Rain Shine, Autumn Blaze isn't the only one who doesn't agree with her preparations.

An Entry for the 2023 May Pairings Contest

After one of her eccentric practice sessions, Rolling Thunder decides to hang out in Ponyville just a bit longer. As she's walking and musing on what to do, a gray mare falls out of the sky and crashes into her world.

Written for the Quills and Sofas May pairings knockout contest from 05/11/2023 to 05/12/2023.
This story was randomly assigned a pairing, which ended up being Derpy Hooves x Rolling Thunder.

Starlight Glimmer, stalwart head mare of the School of Friendship, is being given a birthday party like no other. Pinkie Pie and Applejack are planning a special afternoon for their friend and Sunburst Blaze, her steady boyfriend of some months now, has joined in with the planning to give his betrothed something that she had been denied when she was young, and he intends to set it right. Just what could Starlight's friends have in mind? Read on to find out what.

“But that was then, and this is now./I tried so hard not to let you all down./It's an impossible weight,/So I'll just let you down now.” -Deep Sea Diver, 'Impossible Weight (feat. Sharon Van Etten)'

For spring break, Starlight Glimmer and Sunburst return back to Sire's Hollow to visit with their parents. Being their first trip back as a couple, the two are not looking forward to their parents talk about their relationship. However, both Stellar Flare and Firelight have an exciting announcement to share for when they arrive.

Cheerilee falls in love with Spitfire, whose pretending to be a guy. The lie didnt work on Cheerilee though, as she asks Spitfire to prom knowing Spitfire's secret.

(This story is a semi-sequel to The Pony and the Yak through Only A Pony. Familiarity with them is encouraged, but is not necessary.)

Yona and Sandbar have been through a lot together since they started their relationship. But they've never left each others' side, not once.

So when Yona becomes sick with a cold one day and has to stay in bed, Sandbar decides to do what any good boyfriend should do: Care for his special someone as best he can.

Yona, for her part, is no stranger to Sandbar's hospitality. But how will she adjust to having to rely on someone else for once?

Starlight Glimmer is many things. Master of the arcane arts, Headmare of the School of Friendship, Savior of Equestria, and a truly fantastic friend to those she holds dear. Apparently, according to Trixie and Sunburst, she's also an awesome marefriend. There is, of course, one big problem with that theory: How can you be an awesome marefriend if you don't even know you're dating your best friends in the first place? Starlight may or may not need to add "Romantically Inept Doofus" to her list of titles.
