Short stories and vignettes about the Pink Party Pone, each written in thirty minutes.

Daily updates for thirty days.

A whole month of parties. What more could you possibly ask for?

Part of the Thirty Minute series. Find Rarity here, Rainbow Dash here, Fluttershy here, Applejack here and Twilight here.

Having a long mane and tail can be quite tricky for a pegasus to deal with, but her human companion is eager to help. There’s no way she’d refuse such a kind offer… right?

She is the sun. The day, the light, the waking, the Alpha.

She is the moon. The night, the dark, the sleep, the Omega.

In another time they would have been enemies. So sometimes it's hard to remember that they're sisters.

Twilight Sparkle was annoyed to say the least, when her mentor Princess Celestia dismissed her warning of the Mare in the Moon and assigned her to go to Ponyville to supervise the Summer Sun Celebration. 'Make some friends' she says.

The thing is, Twilight already had friends. Friends she's had ever since she got into Celestia's school for gifted unicorns, friends she's taken for granted for many years, friends who she just happens to bump into before leaving Canterlot and invite themselves along to the celebration.

Between the crazy ponies in this little town and the crazy ponies who call themselves her friends, she finds herself at her wit's end while being constantly sidetracked in trying to prepare for the fabled Nightmare Moon's return. After all, it's not like these old schoolmates of hers are going to be able to help prevent eternal night and the end of Equestria as they know it, right?

There's something strange and unnatural living in Bon-Bon's house.

Something other than Lyra.

Dinky Hooves goes out with a flawless plan for Derpy’s Hearth’s Warming gift. She has only to make the perfect pastry present a reality. And along the way, she’ll find an even better one.
