Big Mac is not the most outspoken pony in Ponyville. In fact, he rarely speaks at all. All he seems to do is just work on his family's farm day in and day out. Nothing else but his orchards and family seem to matter to him.

Little does anypony know, he is fulfilling the final wish of his departed mother.

To be a simple pony.

Princess Twilight Sparkle is perfectly happy with her perfectly ordinary life in Ponyville. Every library book is properly shelved in its appropriate place, and her life continues on exactly according to her meticulously planned out schedule.

Then she gets a bodyguard.

Now she has to find some way to fit this new pony into her life on short notice. It won’t be an easy thing to adjust to—especially since Captain Storm Kicker’s presence makes it that much harder for her to go on living like the same old Twilight Sparkle she was before she became a princess.

You'd think that being trapped in stone would mean that, if nothing else, I could get some peace and quiet. Unfortunately, it seems that Celestia has other ideas.

She has appointed these ponies... these 'Keepers', as she calls them, to keep me entertained during my incarceration.

Honestly? I'd prefer the boredom.

Luna has been a fan of gaming ever since her sister introduced her to it. She's always been a fan of first person shooters and the occasional third person. She's never been a fan of simple games, but decides to give her sister's favorite game a shot, simply to humor her. It's not like the game she likes is Gears of War or Dead Space, so it can't be too good...Right?

A short story I did because I was bored and was waiting to get enough cookies to get the Anti-matter Condenser on my own game of Cookie Clicker. Not meant to be a good story, just something fun I wanted to put out.

Button Mash has always liked Sweetie Belle. She was fashionable, yet not afraid to get dirty. She was smart, but enjoyed to play video games with him. Sweetie Belle has had a crush on him since they first hung out. Both have been afraid to show their feelings, but on Hearts and Hooves Day, they decide to show each other what they truly mean to each other.

Fights between siblings are a part of life. Being the father that has to comfort a crying filly, is also a part of life.

A quick little look into being the parent of an introvert. Fluffy.

2+2=5
Celestia knew, Celestia always knew the truth, so it had to be true.
Twilight trusted her, didn't she?
And fillies always grasp to truths, to their heroes, and drink in everything life throws at them.
So two and two make five.

He guarded this city almost all of his life, which ended the same way his father's did - by sacrificing himself to protect everyone. Having said farewell to his beloved sister, he was about to move on, but not before splitting a fragment of his soul, creating another Soul Dew in the place of his father's destroyed one, so that part of him could continue to protect what mattered to him most: his sister, and the city. What he didn't know, however, was that this process could lead to... unexpected results.
