It might be the middle of the night, and the royal pastry chef might be sound asleep, but Princess Celestia's sweet tooth sure isn't! If Her Majesty wants some cake, well, first she'll have to bake.

Twilight decides to ask Discord about how he uses Chaos Magic. No mage has ever successfully cast Chaos Magic because it always does whatever it's least likely to do, yet somehow Discord utilizes it perfectly. Twilight just can't help but wonder what the greatest minds in Equestria have been doing wrong.

Rainbow Dash finds out that Equestria has speed limits.

Reading from RainbowInfinityReadings!

It is not difficult to grasp the notion that Rainbow Dash has very little in the ways of scientific or thaumatic knowledge. But, sadly, that doesn't stop her from having ideas. It especially doesn't stop her having ideas that are based on the assumption that she does have some amount of scientific or thaumatic knowledge.

In short: try not to be within ten miles of Rainbow Dash when she has ideas.

Despite Rarity having been the one to learn a proper lesson in the city of Manehatten, the others who went with her all had their own experiences in the big city. One in particular stands out in the mind of Twilight Sparkle, and she can't help but put it down in the journal she shares with her friends.

This was written for Bicyclette’s Applepie contest!! I used a prompt generator to come up with an idea and got ‘space au + chill // bonus: mutual pining’
Applepie is one of my all time favourite ships and it’s so underrated!! I’m glad its getting more attention haha.

Applejack feels lonely and homesick on a spaceship far from home. Pinkie Pie, a pony who sits with her at lunch, is determined to change this.

Applejack never really thought much of love until she got involved with it. And ever since then, it's been a roller coaster ride - up and down, never ending. She thinks the same way a lot of ponies do about it...

...until her older brother gives her some advice that changes it all.

Lightning Dust will never be a Wonderbolt. When she left the Academy, she swore she'd never look back. When the Washouts disbanded, she swore she'd forget about them.

Yet after all these years, against all odds, she finds herself here. At a Wonderbolts show. Just on the wrong side of the glass.

Entry into a Sofa and Quills Speedwriting contest, where it placed first! Written in the span of half an hour (time limit was an hour but I had to go early) with the prompts 'candy' and 'bittersweet.'
