Every night Derpy tells her daughter, Dinky, a bedtime story. Dinky usually asks to hear one about the many decorations that are in Derpy's room as each one has a story behind it. Yet there was one that she was always a little reluctant to ask about for how out of place it seemed to be. A battleaxe hanging on the wall right over the bed.

One-Shotober Story#4 10/4/2013

After a late night of studying, Twilight Sparkle finds herself desperately wishing she could just get some sleep. However, she has class that day and, being the student that she is, she's not about to miss it over something as unimportant as sleep! However, when she gets to her class she discovers that staying awake may be a bit harder than she thought...
Note: I was inspired to write this right after I fell asleep in a class where we were discussing Alice in Wonderland. Go figure.

There is a secret in the Sparkle house, a tale of a monster that comes but once every winter. IT lies within the top floor of the house and within the room of the daughter of the house. This monster lives to eat and will stop at nothing to take its food from its chosen victims. Tonight, it is out, and tonight it has chosen its meal. BEWARE!

Harry the bear gives Fluttershy a fish as a thank you gift for helping him with his broken arm, and is insistent upon her eating it before it spoils. When Fluttershy reluctantly complies, she's forced to face a dark and disturbing revelation.

She loves it.

Sparkler has a secret that she's hidden from her mother for many years, a secret that would destroy her if she ever found out. But, with the help of her... special friend, Sparkler decides that she can't lie to her mother anymore. So she sits her mother down and reveals her most shocking secret.

Not all the heros in Equestria are noble like the Elements of Harmony, or graceful like the Alicorn Princesses of the Sun and Moon. Some are brutal and uncouth but they are there when needed.

Ponyville has one such hero. The Drunken Mistress, Berry Punch. She gains crazy strength and endurance when drunk, along with a few other abilities. And when the Elements aren't around to save the day she is more than happy to get wasted to save the day.

This is the story of how Berry Punch saved Ponyville when the Elements left to find Chrysalis during the passing of Secretariat Comet.

Lets watch as he has to protect her from the monsters that live in her dreams and hide in closet; all the while trying to set up the perfect sate with his lady-Cadence.
