Celestia woke up late and is feeling pessimistic about her day. A couple meetings later, she decides that this has been the shortest bad day in the history of her rule. Simply put, nothing has gone right. So, when Discord appears with a simple answer to her problems, what could this solution be that has slipped past the knowledge of the oldest pony in Equestria?

Twilight is troubled to find an open book on Rarity's head when she goes to help Rarity fit a dress.

Should she tell her?

Rainbow Dash grew up not knowing who her mother is.

One Mother's Day, Twilight Sparkle becomes determined to find out who Rainbow's mother is and drag her back to Ponyville to reunite with her daughter.

There's just one little hitch:

Rainbow Dash's mother is Daring Do. And she's inconveniently off "researching" her next book.

Now, Rainbow Dash has to go on a journey. A journey of self-discovery. A journey of a thousand unanswered questions.

A journey to find...her biomom.

Oh, and there's an ancient alicorn tomb and a closely guarded secret that'll change the history of Equestria forever, but that's just another day in the life of Daring Do.

(This story ignores certain details established by the Journal of the Two Sisters and the Daring Do chapter books.)

The best way to enjoy a lazy weekend afternoon is to spend quality time with your friends and family and special someplushie.

What? No, it's not weird. Sort of. You can't prove anything. Go away.

When a spell goes awry, the only pony who can help Sweetie Belle is nowhere to be seen. With an apple-crazy mare getting on her nerves, an angry mob chasing after her, and Fluttershy shutting her out, what else can she do? RUN!!

Starlight Glimmer assembles the townponies of... the town to finally pick a name for the village they all dwell in. However, finding a name that does not promote any form of inequality proves to be harder than she imagines.

Being locked in a small, confined house for several hours wouldn't be so bad, if there was a bathroom to use. And Pinkie Pie needs to go badly.

Season 5 spoilers!!!

Pinkie Pie just won't stop clopping. It's getting on everypony's nerves.

But Twilight's got a plan. She's going to stop the clopping once and for all...

Definitely not the product of an April Fool's joke. Lookit. It's already over! That makes this totes serious.

As everypony knows, Pinkie Pie can do impossible things. She can hover in midair without wings, play ten instruments at once, and even go days without breathing! Clearly some kind of magic is at work, but what could it be?

Pinkie decides it's finally time to tell her friends the whole, unvarnished truth.

Fluttershy's sick with a little cold today. Thankfully, she has good friends around to help her feel better.
