Princess Cadence decides to play matchmaker again; she organizes a visit to Ponyville to have a brunch with Twilight and her friends (like what Princess Celesita did when Fluttershy stole Philomena). She brings along Flash Sentry as her bodyguard, although her real intention is to hook him up with her sister-in-law.

Will she succeed with her plan? And will Twilight and Flash become a couple?

Just a Short Story

Lyra Heartstrings, as everypony knows, has a quirky obsession with humans. In fact, she'd give anything to see one up close and personal. So when she hears about a portal in the Crystal Empire leading to an alternate universe full of humans, she absolutely must go there and see it for herself!

Luckily for her, a certain Master of Chaos is willing to pull a few strings and grant her access to the world known only as Canterlot High. But for some strange reason (that is to say no reason at all), Lyra doesn't change shape whilst crossing dimensions. What's more, the reaction of the students to a mint-green unicorn wandering into their midst is, well, not what she expected.

Cookie for anyone who can guess what this little ball of crazy is based off of.

There are many axioms in Equestria. "Go with the grain." "Count your blessings." "Strive to be happy with what you have."

And, though left unsaid, the most important one of all: "Know your place."

Although Flash Sentry loves Twilight, she can never know of his love. She can never return the feelings. It wouldn't be proper. After all, social order is more important than fulfilling one's own wishes.

Alternate Universe tag is due to the existence of a caste system in this story. Please keep that in mind as you read.
