The School of Friendship's first ever Graduation Dance is taking place. It's the most anticipated event for fourth year students next to graduation itself. Gallus wants nothing to do with it.
Princess Celestia has been expecting an alicorn transformation. Imagine her surprise when a no-name horse from another world pips Twilight to the post. Now imagine how surprised the no-name horse himself must be.
Spike's been here before. He's sure of it. Except... he hasn't. The northern border of Yakyakistan is so far from Ponyville it might as well be another world entirely. So why does it feel like he's already home?
It’s the first Hearts & Hooves Day since Gilda and Lightning Dust have started seeing each other. Too bad griffons don’t go in for any of that sentimental pony nonesense.
Ocellus is trapped in a palace infested with a brood of love-starved changelings and their queen who are intent on using her only way home as a means to invade her world.
Smolder has a thing for Ocellus. She has had it for a long time, but each time she is given the opportunity to profess her feelings, she chickens out and swears next time will be the one. Hopefully this one will be the one.
Golden Harvest always takes pains to be the sensible one for others, but that's easier said than done when Derpy has something "ambitious" planned for Nightmare Night.
Sky Stinger wonders how his relationship with Vapor Trail could have survived such a big and embarrassing secret. They're both still friends. He's sure of that much. But now he's actually starting to wonder why.
Pinkie and Rarity reluctantly venture into the strange caves of the far reaches of Equestria. The map must have sent them there for a reason, after all. Hopefully, they'll live long enough to figure out what it is.
After a long day at school, Sunset just wants to unwind. Pinkie knows that carnivals are the best way to have fun after a long day. And while she and Sunset are there, maybe she can get something off her chest?
Running across Equestria, a vast network of pipes transfers soup from the mines out West to hungry ponies on the East Coast. Few ponies sitting down to a bowl of fresh cazuela ever think about the soup pipeline.
Something awful must've happened to Applejack, because she isn't in school. Rarity isn't friends with her, but she's the only one bothering to do anything, so she must rescue Applejack from whatever ails her! But she's still not Applejack's friend.
After a slight misunderstanding about how far Sandbar and Yona have taken their relationship, Ocellus and Smolder contemplate how far they want to take their own.
The course of friendship is like the course of a thread; it's a bit loopy, it meanders all the time, and it can get terribly tangled up at the wrong moment. However, in skilled hooves the result is beautiful and inspiring. A treasure beyond treasure.
Smolder and Ocellus spend quality time together after cheer practice and encounter an eldritch entity bent on consuming Smolder's soul. They also play Connect Four.
Midnight Glow takes on the job of exorcising Twilight's castle from hostile spirits. But the haunting goes much deeper than he could ever have anticipated...
