Rarity was summoned by the Cutie Map to Ponyville's park, solo. However, there were no friendship problems in sight; the only thing that seemed to be waiting for Rarity was a lake.

According to Princess Twilight, the map was functionally normally, so there had to be something going on for the magical map to take action. Or could a certain troll be at work?

Trixie had a great sense of direction. So clearly, if she'd ended up facing a wall, it was the street that had been wrongly built. Those crystal ponies, who couldn't even build a road right. But it wasn't a problem, if the Empire's misguided decisions in building their cities rendered her superior sense of orientation useless then she'd just have to ask for directions.

She just had to find someone in the cold, empty, dusty back alley devoid of any other pony. The disembodied horn on the ground would have to do.

Celestia thought she knew herself. She was sure that nothing could surprise her anymore. She was certain that there was nothing more that she could possibly be hiding from herself.
One attempt to identify a changeling presence in the royal guard later, she was coming to terms with how reality had decided to prove her wrong.

This story is a sequel to Chrysalis Goes to Therapy

After her therapist had suggested her to do so, and mostly because she'd paid for the session, Chrysalis decided to organize a family reunion and invite her parents to it, so she could have a chance to finally talk with them after all the time they'd been separated.

Of course, there were a series of minor inconveniences. Like the fact that her mother was a tree living in a swam. Or the fact that her father didn't know about the fact that she was his daughter. Or how he would have never followed an invitation to the swamp, and would have probably attacked her if she'd tried to approach him directly.

Nothing that couldn't be solved by some tried and tested changeling persuasion, though. Ponies usually referred to it as 'abduction'.

This story is a sequel to Celestia Takes an Acting Class

Chrysalis had finally managed to escape from her prison. Not an easy task, given how Celestia had kept trying to have them continue their lessons while she was imprisoned, but she'd done it. Now that she was free, although guards were still looking for her, she decided it would have been a good time to pay a visit to the therapist Black Fire had recommended to her.

Celestia had decided to become better at acting. It was a skill that could become useful in the future, and also something she wanted to learn. So she found the most expensive, well-regarded, respected, praised and recommended instructor in all Equestria and arranged a private lesson with her.

She was rather surprised when she found out who her teacher was going to be, and so was her teacher when she found out she would be teaching to Celestia.

Things didn't exactly play out the way they'd planned after that.

Just a few days ago, the CMCs asked for the mane 6's help. They have tried to get cutie marks in most things, but not one specific thing. As homicide detectives. Politely, they asked if Twilight was willing to help them find out if they're fit for the job. She agrees.

Fluttershy was enjoying her early morning. Was, in the past. Now, she's DEAD! and it's up to the Cutie Mark Crusaders Homicide detectives to find the true culprit. They must see through the muddied waters of lies in order to reach the truth.

Thank you to Silk Rose for making this cute cover.

Rainbow finds a trophy for a pony declared, "an honorary Wonderbolt". Curiosity getting the better of her, she asks about the pony.
She was greatly surprised to hear that, of all ponies, Derpy had gotten the honor, and respect, of the organization Rainbow idolized.

Written for The Wonderbolts Site Contest. I spent more time writing for the Sci-fi contest, with the goal of writing a one-shot for this one afterwards. In honor of it being a Speedwriting contest, I wrote it down over the course of two days and in under three hours total writing time. I hope you enjoy, and good luck to other contestants!

Sunset was enjoying her day, going through school as she was expected to do, when she's suddenly called to the Principal's office.

Confused, but with little choice in the matter, she answers, heading to Celestia's office. There, she finds the Principal sitting, wanting to have a chat.

Sunset was not prepared for anything like this.
