Staring at the sun makes you go blind.

Ponyville's verry own baloonest
No! not that one, aviation balloons not party balloons.

Chery berry considers flight for earthponys beyond just the balloon.

As a budding diplomat, Flurry Heart often travels out of Equestria and into other dimensions. It's not uncommon for her to get stalled in the Between Place, but something is different this time. Someone else is here.

Tagged as “Mystery” because even though the audience knows Sunset Shimmer, Flurry sure as Tartarus doesn’t.

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.

For the first time in living memory, a unicorn has set hoof in Maretime Bay. The ponies demand decisive action. Unfortunately, they're demanding it from Sprout. Even more unfortunately, he has some issues keeping his composure through the whole thing. And that's not getting into the real problems...

A strange and distant part of the Oversaturated World.

Raven Inkwell, personal assistant to Princess Celestia, spends her last day completing her final task for Her Highness before retiring from service along with her employer.
The worst task. Checking the Royal tax returns.

Celestia, though she has long sought an apprentice for herself, has never once found one she felt required her personal guidance. Disappointed, the Princess decides to go to the Canterlot Library to visit an old friend. And it is here that, for the first time, she comes upon a mare with a very noticeable love of magic.

Flurry Heart spent most of her foalhood listening to stories of favourite Aunt Twilight Sparkle's many accomplishments.

Now a young mare seeking her place in the world, Flurry has attempted to model herself in Twilight's image. One could even say that Flurry idolizes her aunt.

Twilight wishes she didn't.

It's time for a chat.

A certain baby princess doesn't want to go to bed, even though it's past her bedtime and she's super sleepy. With Cadance already ready to just hit the sack, it's Shining Armour's turn to put Flurry Heart to bed. He should have picked a bedtime story first....

A quick and cute one-shot, coming from a dad who learned this one the hard way.

Flurry Heart is older now, and as such, has begun to realize the immense pressure it takes to become a proper Princess. So, after careful deliberation, she decides there's only one thing left to do.

Run away.

Until a certain Princess comes to speak with her, that is.

There is a weird machine placed in the halls of the castle, everyone knows what it does. It's not a mystery at all. Princess Luna's unexplainable hatred of the machine is the real mystery.

Shall she prevail against overwhelming odds or lose herself in the deepest of pits? Let's find out.
