As with every living creature, once every year, Princess Celestia has a day that commemorates the anniversary of her birth. Given that she is blessed with many wonderful friends and family members, she receives many gifts on her birthday. Some she likes more than others, while some are rather odd.

On this one thousand seven hundred and nineteenth birthday of hers, she receives a large stuffed squid plushie.

She is perplexed.

It doesn't matter what it is, but Applejack approves!

It is a little-known fact that all living beings are born with a finite amount of bucks to give. It is little-know due to the fact that most ponies will die long before all of their bucks could been given. But Twilight Sparkle seems to give a buck about everything, and she's depleting her storage far too quickly. This is what happens when Twilight Sparkle runs out of bucks.

When the final exams get submitted from the foals at Ponyville Schoolhouse, Cheerilee has a good feeling that her students payed attention all year long. She's almost looking forward to grading the papers, because she's sure most of the kids aced the test!

Starswirl the Bearded: widely regarded as the greatest unicorn wizard ever to walk the Earth. But was he really the genius history has made him out to be? Or was he simply a mad magician, whose unethical experiments in magic were justified by results pleasing to the eye of the public?

The answer is neither. Fortunately, he left a personal journal behind which might shed some light on who he really was.

Once upon a time, there was an average, everyday pony, whose special talent was being magical. She lived her life alone in secret studies until one day, she moved into a new town, made five very special friends, and saved the world. She only failed when it was necessary to advance the plot or show character development, or when the author had some issues she needed to work out. Soon, the universe realized how perfect she was, and she was turned into an alicorn and named princess.

Celestia can't stop writing stories about her, and Luna is getting worried.

Button Mash receives a letter from Ponyville's city council demanding he immediately stop his attempt at creating a new, fun holiday. His mother will do her best to comfort her young, heartbroken son.

He hides in the shadows, he causes nightmares and pain.
He is always just out of sight, yet he leaves no one unscathed.
And today... just like every other day we search. And no matter what, we will find it.
And he shall be brought to justice.

Authors note~ A friend asked me to write something and it turned into well... this. Even i don't know what to think sooo... enjoy. Oh and thank google for the cover art.

Dreams are such delicate things, and Scootaloo’s are more fragile than most.

But in Equestria, dreams are protected. Sometimes a filly just needs a helping hoof to learn how to hope again.

This story has a reading! Slightly older version of the story, but the reading is very well done. It can be found here.

The fashionista completed her fashion orders for the day and now she is going to take a vacation, but the vacation comes with a price. Rarity stays in the local hotel of the glamorous city after finishing her orders to unwind and relax, until a modeling mare that she has never met before when she met Fancy Pants in the same city that they're in.

These two haven't properly introduced each other yet, but they're willing to get to know each other so that they can make this vacation worth while. Unfortunately, a snow storm traps the two beautiful mares in a hotel room together so it's better now than never to get acquainted.
