Ultimately, what Anon learned was to never trust Cadance. (Contains gratuitous Scottish accent)

{This story has two versions, the last chapter is the first person version.}

Months have passed since the Aliana's Pride, a human starship, landed in Equestria. Now properly integrated in the society of small ponies, the hundred and twenty crewmen have adjusted well enough in the unfamiliar land. All except one, that is. A man who's more concerned with his work than anything else is summoned before Princess Twilight Sparkle, and faces punishment for a severe crime.

2nd 3rd Place Winner in the Cadance is a Terrible Mom Competition

She'd hoped for peace after the war, she just wanted to tend the farm and help her family recover. She wished that a lot of things had never happened the way they did, change her fate and save the lives of her friends if she could, but so rarely does anypony get what they wish for. It was all moot anyway.

When something terrible killed Ponyville, Applejack was its final witness.

This story is a simple collection of a few ideas I wanted to put together and see what worked for me.
I appreciate the story being shared around, commented on, liked, enjoyed, all that jazz.

Time passes quickly in a beautiful world, and Twilight Sparkle knows it all too well: the sun is warm, the skies are bright, and Ponyville a richness of wonder and opportunity. The friends, the roads, the food and drink are all in their place, little dramas come and go, and her reports to Celestia proceed apace.

It’s imperfect perfection, and all things proceed exactly as usual until exactly the moment they don’t anymore.

Mistle-what? An innocent question on an otherwise normal Hearthswarming Eve sends you on a short journey of introspection with your best friend. The closer you get towards discovering the truth about yourselves, the less sure you are of what exactly the holiday tradition of “Mistletoe” actually means, and you begin to wonder whether the innocence or question that sparked it all was actually there to begin with.

Special thanks to DE_K for editing!

After living with Nightmare Moon for a while (due to extenuating circumstances), Anon starts to notice a few oddities in her behaviour. Ones he understands all too well, and ones that are fresh on the mind.

In an effort to help her before it gets any worse, he drags her out of Ponyville for a night to talk about life's problems. And maybe cuss out her sister once or twice.

Saturday was a day to unwind, a day to sleep late, to eat brunch instead of breakfast, go out to the lake, or to invite friends over for a barbeque. Unless the lawnmower was broken and Ms. Bundermann is on the prowl.

Having a unicorn friend doesn’t help fix the lawnmower, but friends of friends can make short work of the lawn. It’s technically not a barbeque if the grill isn’t on, but with a whole herd of ponies nomming the grass and musicals on the boombox, with a selection of drinks to suit everypony’s taste, it’s close enough.

Now with a reading by StraightToThePointStudio!

I never expected much to happen to me when I joined the Royal Guard. It's a nice job, don't get me wrong, but all those stories about saving the princess and getting a reward were just stories. Of course, sometimes those stories come true and in the came of myself I happened to have done just that. I saved Princess Celestia and in return I got to go out on a date with her.

All artists want their art to be held in the highest regards. For Anon, that means she wants on the fridge.
