The Griffin empire has gone too far this time. I mean, they can't even spell their own name in the proper Equestrian way! Frustrated with treaties and negotiations that go nowhere, Princess Celestia decides to blow off a little steam the only way she knows how -- bashing in her plates with her sister.

Smarty Pants comes home after school after being chased home by a group of bullies throwing stones at her, and heads straight to her bedroom to sulk alone. She attempts to take her mind off of things by doodling random pictures, one of a doll she names Twilight.

In an attempt to leave her reality for a short while, she decides to make one of her own.

Princess Twilight Sparkle has always been quite the student, even before she earned the title of Princess. However, her new responsibilities require some new knowledge; an idea of what Equestria was, what the world was before Order was established and the Princesses came to power. The problem is finding somebody who can teach these things.

If only there was some ancient being who had been through everything, who had been alive before the time of Order, before Princess Luna became Nightmare Moon, before King Sombra ruled over the Crystal Empire. Perhaps someone from the Era of Chaos, when Discord Draconequus had reigned over everything... But where in Canterlot Castle would they ever find somebody like that?

Big Gala is a mare of few words. She's a hard worker, helping her brother run the farm as well as cooking and cleaning up after her family.

Sugarsnap is her best friend. She's a shy pony who only gets chatty around Gala and makes a living working at the local sweet shop.

Thundercloud is the third in the group. She's a pegasus who all the stallions admire. However, she does tend to suffer from stage fright.

Three mares, all best friends in a town of stallions. How do they make it through the day?

R63 Big Mac, Caramel and Thunderlane fic, because I want to write one.

Inspired by a lecture my dad gave me after consuming 1.5 bottle's worth of rice wine. Also a little something for Christmas Eve and Day.

Scootaloo was on top of the world. Showered with praise at the Equestrian Games, became closer to her idol, and learned an important lesson in the process. To celebrate the success of their performance at the Crystal Empire, the CMC, with the aid of Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie, launch a party at Sweet Apple Acre.

But even with all the festivities, Scootaloo's self-doubt had not completely disappeared. Even before the bullying, the idea of never joining Rainbow in the sky, no matter how hard she tried, left a hole in her stomach. After all, what more can you do but your best?

Wandering around the barn, she discovers a curious hobby of Big Macintosh's. Just to be fair like the cool pony she is, Scootaloo reveals a secret of her own, and learns from the stallion just what mere hard work can do.

Excited to try out her secret new apple-and-cinnamon cupcake recipe, Pinkie Pie bakes a batch and heads for Sweet Apple Acres, believing Applejack to be the best judge of apple-tasting baked goods in Ponyville. When Applejack makes an off-hoof comment, Pinkie Pie may just surprise her friend with more than her delicious pastries.

Based on an off-hand comment made to me by HiddenUnderACouch. Also partially inspired by Mondai Shunketsu's story, Family Matters. You legend.

Apple Bloom, still being a filly, is looked after closely by her big brother, Big Mac. Applejack starts *bleep*ing up a storm in the Apple Orchard after somepony has stamped all of the apples in one of the largest orchards with REJECTED.

Can Big Mac protect his little sister's ears from the storm of foul bucks coming from Applejack? Can he even tell which ones are curses and which ones aren't? Can he keep *bleep*ing, or will he have to find other ways to censor his sister?

Rated teen for gratuitous use of the word "*bleep*."

Thanks to ZodiacSpear for the inspiration!

Young Cheerilee is happy to have finally settled down with her family in a nice town like Ponyville, and she's not about to let her nervousness about her first day of school stop her from making new friends. Most of her classmates seem nice, but...

There's one young colt who'll barely say two words to her. And she's determined to find out why.

SPOILERS IN THE COMMENTS!

But she doesn't care.

A short tale about Big Mac and Applebloom. Nothing too spectacular, but I hope you like it. Takes place a couple of years before the start of Season 1.

Special thanks to Inumaniac for being my proofreader once more. The amazing cover has been done by PapaSam. Used with permission.

Apple Bloom needs help with an assignment. Writers are supposed to have a 'voice' that is uniquely there', that sets them apart from each other. Of course, Apple Bloom won't have that voice at such a young age but how about somepony else? Someone older and wiser who already speaks in a voice that is distinctly his?
