(Set five to seven years before 'The Magic of Friendship', depending on how old you think the cast is.)
Warning: contains an underaged Rarity and a rubber costume.

Little Waiwai is a colt in need of a foalsitter. Why should Rarity have to foalsit him? Because her mother said so, and like any teenage girl she can't really refuse a direct order from her mom. He won't be any trouble, or at least that's what the grownups keep saying.

And yet Waiwai has somehow managed to drive away every single foalsitter in town. This does not bode well for the aspiring fashion icon, nor does the fact that Sweetie Belle sort of knows him and definitely hates him.

Steeling her resolve, a young Rarity must face the horrors of foalsitting a no doubt unmanageable colt and hopefully keep her mane intact during the process.

Can her hair survive the horror that is little Waiwai?

A/N: Submitted to the third Author Support Prompt, and it won.

Yeah, I'm as confused as you are.

It's listed as 'Slice of Life' because it's a mix of comedy, light sadness (philosophical/psychological stuff, I guess) and...well, to say more would spoil it. Suffice to say it primarily tries to approach the show's look and feel, so the other tags don't really match up on the whole. Hope you enjoy!

Now edited for accuracy's sake, the mention of gems and crystals is mixed. In hindsight, this fanfic actually contains fanon that was made canon with the Season 3 opener. Oh well...

When Twilight Sparkle had the magical surge that cemented her place as Celestia's student, the amount of power she released not only hatched a baby Dragon, it brought forth something else. Something that shouldn't exist any more.
Something that has Celestia worried.

A fluffy puppy.

[Despite the gore tag it's rather light on that, and they have yet to make a lewd tag and there's a bit of that.]

Season two is live here, Season 2

12 students from Class 1A are picked to be transferred from UA High in Japan over at Canterlot High in America for three weeks. And upon their arrival, they come face-to-face with the Rainbooms; and befriend the group.

However, the visit takes a turn when new threats arrive at Canterlot High with plans to take down society as a whole.

Now Rainbooms and the hero students must work together to stop them.

Spoiler Warning: Takes place in Season 5 of MHA; though somewhere between episodes 106 & 107.

Sweetie Belle knows there's something wrong with Ponyville. There should probably be plants growing, and less dirt in the air. Maybe the sun should set every now and then.

For her, no incongruity is quite as important as her simple mission. She must reach the center of the maze before her body runs down. It's a good thing she has such good friends along to help her.

The end of magic in Equestria doesn't have to be the end of ponies, not if Sweetie doesn't let it.

This story was written for the Iron Writer competition at Everfree Northwest, where it won an honorable mention. This contest required an idea conform to certain prompts, and be written entirely in the span of two hours.
