It's a nice day in Ponyville. In the busy market, between two stalls, a changeling is sitting on the grass. Next to him is a sign that says "feed me".

Meant to be a nice little slice of bug horse life. A little cute, a little sad. Hopefully an enjoyable read, either way.

Rainbow Dash's morning was pretty much ruined.
She tripped getting out of bed and landed flat on her face, giving herself an aching muzzle.
She forgot to buy her favorite brand of hay flakes at the store yesterday and had to eat plain toast for breakfast.
She found out she had to pull double-duty today and tomorrow on the weather patrol.
Oh, and she found a nearly-dead foal, broken and bleeding at the edge of Ponyville.

The rest of her day became a whirlpool of stress and worry but the colt woke up, thank Celestia.
Something's not right, though. Nopony can find his parents, he's not in the registers, and there's an unsettling look in his eye...

Twilight Sparkle always found comfort in schedules and routines. Her daily life was so by the book, even when she'd need to see to official princess business, one could say it was almost written before she even woke up.

But when that routine is changed, interrupted, alternated and suspended, Twilight finds she will have a lot more on her plate than simply running Equestria.

Today marks the beginning of Twilight's really bad day.

A lot can change in a thousand years. For a pony out of her time like Somnambula, it can be disorienting and confusing. With her mind full of worries about her home, she decides to take a trip south to see her old hometown. But will she really find peace in a place where so much has changed, or does she perhaps have another reason for making the journey?

Some realize that Trixie is not the first to bear the title of The Great And Powerful.

Few realize that it is less a title and more a curse.

The one who kills The Great And Powerful shall ever after be cursed to become The Great And Powerful.

On a related note, Twilight Sparkle is having a very bad week.

Sassaflash works at the Cloudsdale Weather Factory's electricity division. Her job is very dangerous: she must harness the power of lightning bolts and zap their energy through a machine that draws out even more of that power. Best of all, she has a pretty good position as Electricity Production Supervisor and gets a good 45 bits a day.

But lately, something mysterious has happened at the factory. All of the machines in the electric division have been stolen from another pony. All hooves point to Sassaflash and her five friends Medley, Dizzy Twister, Cloud Kicker, Cloudchaser, and Flitter as the culprits because they all have pretty good positions in the Cloudsdale Weather Factory.

Determined to prove they're wrong and to clear their names, the six pegasi set out on a quest to find the real culprit. However, if they don't hurry up soon, Ponyville and potentially all of Equestria could lose power forever...

Set some time after the events of "Crusaders of the Lost Mark", a disaster at a class field trip provides a unique opportunity for Diamond Tiara and Scootaloo to become genuine friends. A chance for the former bully and the Cutie Mark Crusaders to reconnect on good terms is finally within reach. However Scootaloo finds that being friends with even a reformed Diamond Tiara is just too much for her. In true Crusader fashion, Scootaloo and her friends resort to a convoluted scheme to save face.

Rainbow Dash told Scootaloo that it doesn't matter if she can fly or not. Then Discord made her put her wings where her mouth is and now she has to live without them for a day. But wings or no, she's still Rainbow Dash, the most awesome pony in Equestria, right?

...Right?
