Applejack gives her son a tour of Sweet Apple Acres, and thinks about the kind of pony he'll grow up to be.

This story was written for the second A Thousand Words Contest.

The cover art is by Graphene.

This story is a sequel to An Apple Sleep Experiment

It’s been seven years since the great massacre, and ponies are still trying to cope in the aftermath. Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Friendship, and her friends (minus one obvious apple) are preparing for the annual memorial, when an unexpected castle guest threatens to disrupt the peace in Ponyville forever.

This is the OFFICIAL Sequel to my previous story "An Apple Sleep Experiment", both of which have audio/visual adaptations on Youtube! For the sequel, it will be in four parts, linked here:

Vinyl Scratch is a pony who never utters a word.

She lives in the moment, but has many ponies who love her.

What is the mystery of her reality?

A thousand years is quite the generation gap, so Princess Luna decides she has to get with the times. However, this isn't quite as easy as she thinks it will be...

Long Play has a concert to catch, but his blubbering baby sister just got home from school. Something got under her fur today. Something serious.

Side note, how did it take me so long to learn Vinyl canonically has an older brother? I really need to read more IDW comics.

This is an entry in the Snippet Series, an anthology of old oneshots that I (and my good buddy Str8aura) wrote based around interesting pics I found. New ones will be posted every other Thursday for the foreseeable future.

There has been a crime most foul in Ponyville! However, Twilight Sparkle is on the case, and she has finally gathered all of the suspects under one roof.

Tonight, she will discover the truth.

Tonight, one pony will face the justice they so richly deserve.

Tonight, she throws the book at them!

Featured 8/20! You guys rock - and deserve a free library card or some overpriced coffee!

The filly sings. Water rushing all around her, free as a bird, she sings. Is it in pain? Is it from joy? Such a thing, no one knows.

Now has an audio reading by The Mystery Fluttershy Fan.

Twilight messes up badly while the rehearsal wedding was happening. So badly, her brother, her best friends, and most of all, her mentor leave her.

And Twilight is devastated.

Blinded by heartbreak, shock, and even anger, Twilight wonders if the ponies she thought cared about her really do care about her. Luckily, before she could slip, a friend arrives and gives her a little help.

The daily lives of the royal princesses, often times is pretty simple. Wake up, raise or lower their celestial bodies, hold court, meetings, sleep, and repeat. Oh, and dealing with their infuriating nephew! Overall, things aren't all that easy for them but it's manageable and mundane.

But when an innocent wish came true, both sisters are now facing a new Blueblood. One that can be considered better, yet for some reason, this version seems to have forgotten how magic works and keeps looking at the world like a newborn baby.

So what happens now? Did their wish actually come true? Is it some sort of act? Has he been replaced by a changeling? And what does this new Blueblood mean for Equestria?

Only one thing is for sure, shenanigans will appear and a lot of ponies are about to spit their coffee. Look out Equestria! There is a new Blueblood on the loose, and this one might actually be worthy of the title 'Prince'.

The 'Romance' tag is for events that happen later on the chapters

I made this out of curiosity and intrigue, so there is no need to take too seriously. This takes place during season 8 before Spike got his wings.

Rated ‘Teen’ for language, mild violence, and graphic depiction of cuddling. Ratings could change at any moment depending on how the story progresses.

All her life she has had responsibilities and high expectations of her as the personal student of Princess Celestia. For most of her life she was pushed by her family and pushed by herself far beyond the limits of any unicorn short of the great Starswirl the Bearded, but is it too much?
