In a crisp, clean, white office, important business is carried out. Crucial, some might say, depending on how they prioritise things. But even in a fantastical place such as this, there are limits. Budgetary limits, for example. So when a new starter wanders outside the lines a bit, they need to be set straight. There are rules, after all. The last thing anypony wants is to have to get Equine Resources involved.

Nighmare Moon was banished for one thousand years. She had more than enough time to plan her return. Every aspect was intricately planned down to the letter, for maximum dramatic effect to instil sufficient terror in her future subjects that they would bow down without question.

At least, that was how the plan was supposed to go.

In every world, era, and species, adolescents think they're the first to invent or discover whatever they come across. It's not hard to see why. In the flower of youth, every experience is new and fresh and exciting, especially the ones previous generations won't discuss. Not in polite company, anyway. Certainly not with their children.

Well, "exciting" isn't always the best word to describe those discoveries. Sometimes it's "horrifying." Especially when it involves certain alicorn princesses.

Pinkie needs help. She's been trying to find the perfect use for a word, but nothing has really inspired her. That is, until an innocent stack of pancakes gives her the spark she's been looking for.

With the assistance of her best friend, a metric ton of pancakes, and Twilight Sparkle, she just might pull it off.

But her brilliant plan hinges on one crucial detail, the whole thing has to end in disaster.

Princess Cadance and Shining Armor have to have a very serious discussion about parenthood. Not all ponies are responsible enough to be a parent. So, the two sit down to have a serious discussion. Very Serious.

Caution: This fic is for terrible people. Like me. I'm a terrible person.

Motherhood is hard, as Shining Armor knows, and Cadance has been dealing with a lot lately. So, when Shining comes home, he's not too surprised that she seems a little... off. But it doesn't take long before he realizes something is not quite right. In fact, there might be something weird in the very foundation of their family...

Warning: Is a lot more harmless than the title and description might lead you to believe...

Who is this pony and why does he ask Twilight to trust him?
