They may have rallied everycreature to the defense of Equestria and saved the world, but the Student Six still has classes to finish. And Gallus and Smolder need extra credit if they’re going to keep up with their friends. Fortunately, Fluttershy offers to have them help her at her animal sanctuary, but they will never guess what she wants them to do.

This was written for Wanderer D as a part of Jinglemas 2020! For more information about Jinglemas, check out our group!

Gallus and Smolder are ready to take the next step and go through what may be the most important day in both of their lives.

Now if only somecreature could find out where in Tartarus they went to.

In completely unrelated news, a diligent pizza parlor employee receives two new customers to serve.

This story is a sequel to Somnambulism

Gallus and Smolder have formally begun a relationship, and start out by going on a date. But of course, the first date is always the hardest...especially when they still aren't entirely sure how they want this to work.

But maybe the date's just what they need for that.

It's been a bit sporadic about it, popping in then back out a few times, but I guess saying this was featured on 10/17/2020 still counts... (now watch, it'll immediately vanish from it again now that I've added this. EDIT: yup, see, already gone again!)

Sequel to "Somnambulism". Reading it first is encouraged, but shouldn't have to be required--you should still be able to follow along anyway.

Sleepwalking--the act of walking while not conscious of it or aware of it, during one's sleep; to walk and/or perform other actions while sleeping; to somnambulate.

Which for Smolder, that alone is bad enough. Crawling into bed with Gallus while she's sleepwalking though...that's a whole other level of awkward.

What’s a few marks left by a friend?

Well, it all depends on what kind of marks, as far as Gallus is concerned.

Unfortunately, Smolder thinks this is hilarious.

So pucker up, bird-boy.

Sandbar and friends discuss things that are legal and illegal when Sandbar mentions using recreational drugs. Gallus and Smolder decided they wanted to try some for themselves, but they couldn't find any after raiding Sandbar's room. So they settle for the next best thing; Brownies!

And oh man. They are good brownies.

Instincts are a powerful thing. For dragons, they're even stronger than most. Ocellus knows this. But when Smolder's instincts drive her into a hoarding frenzy, she's the one who must find a way to reach past those instincts and get through to Smolder herself, as well as discover a few things about herself along the way. Even if everyone knows the one thing you should never do is go into a dragon's lair.

Even if it's made of pillows.

One point in your life, acting like everything is ok is not gonna work. Even if they don’t mean to hurt you, that does not make the pain any easier. It can cause emotional scars or even physical ones.

Smolder learns this and Sandbar learns this the hard way

Inspired by actual events I endured when I was in middle and high school. I thought my friend cared about me but all I got from them were bruises
