Working for the boss was one of the easiest jobs going. Gargoyles didn't need to eat or drink, and, most of the time, he just sat and brooded quietly. But every so often, like every villain, he felt he had to justify his villainy with some grand scheme to conquer or destroy. After all, that's what evil villains were supposed to do wasn't it? But evil villains were also supposed to be defeated, and that wasn't conducive to long-term employment. And sometimes—the last time the boss had planned to conquer the diamond dogs for instance—Rogi had to work very hard indeed. Luckily though, tonight he'd picked Equestria again.

Celestia brought the storm to heal the land.

Daybreaker came too.

To a ground-bound pony, a cloud is a collection of rain that hasn’t fallen yet. To Rainbow Dash, it's so much more. It's a place to nap, a launchpad into her mind, and depending on the company, a point of grievous contention.

Twilight Sparkle is aware that the manipulation of matter at the sub-atomic level is a potential source of enormous amounts of free energy. She also knows that this is extremely dangerous, and that these spells are only for the highest level unicorns. She is therefore somewhat concerned to discover that Pinkie Pie has found another way to do this, with a curious contraption in the basement of Sugarcube Corner.

Apple Bloom needs help with an assignment. Writers are supposed to have a 'voice' that is uniquely there', that sets them apart from each other. Of course, Apple Bloom won't have that voice at such a young age but how about somepony else? Someone older and wiser who already speaks in a voice that is distinctly his?

When Twilight Sparkle was four years old, her mother bought her a tombstone.

Rainbow Dash spends time with her family looking back over a long and happy life as it draws to an end.

A bittersweet epitaph to the most awesome flyer of her day.

Diamond Tiara always knew that someday she'd be invited to dine with the Princess at the Royal Palace. She didn't think it would happen like this.

But she's going to sit there and be polite and smile and not be bothered by all the ways this is all wrong. Because that's what good fillies do, and Diamond Tiara is a good filly now.

Right?

This story is a sequel to Princess Celestia Hates Tea

Princess Celestia helps to banish a hoofful of inner demons lurking deep in the heart of a troubled author. Metafiction, again, ensues. Something of a coda to "Princess Celestia Hates Tea".

Now with a Spanish translation by Spaniard Kiwi!

Rainbow Dash sometimes flies high for Wonderbolt training, higher than almost any other pegasus. Up there, it's just her, the earth, and the sky. It's more than enough to give a whole different perspective on things.
