Smolder doesn't know how beaks work. Like, when they're not being used to peck worms out of the ground. Gallus, Silverstream and Sandbar try to explain.

There's a lot of kissing involved.

Cheerilee has, by and large, been detached from the events at the School of Friendship. She heard the rumors about a total meltdown at the school, and even worse ones about a diplomatic incident that followed, but by and large, she's simply wished Twilight well and went about her business of helping all the young ponies of Ponyville grow.

Then, one day, not too long after the School of Friendship reopened, a new young mind flies into her life.

Special thanks to Cynewulf and Skeeter for giving this story a once over and assuring my stress addled brain that it wasn't total garbage, and to Jack of a Few Trades, for whom the story was written, and whose own work served as an inspiration.

Written for Jinglemas 2018.

Silverstream looked forward to showing a potential new hippogriff student how fun the School of Friendship is, but those hopes were shot when a stallion showed up to a party they went to dressed as the Storm King. Now Silverstream finds things moving faster at the school than she can handle.

My first attempt at a dramatic story; not sure I'll try this again, haha.

Entry for Secret Moon's Self Isolation contest.

Queen Novo, Prince Rutherford, King Thorax, Dragon Lord Ember, & Gilda. These are the five ambassadors of their respective kingdoms; Mount Aris, Yakyakistan, the Changeling Hive, the Dragon Lands, and Griffonstone. While these five creatures are all ambassadors, they really haven’t spent time with each other. Twilight has an idea to invite them all to Canterlot to see if they could break the ice. Needless to say, they do learn more about their species.

Idea from this picture and this picture.
