A little story I used to put my headcanon about how time works between the main series and the Equestria Girls sub-series. It's a discussion of why Sunset is so young despite being older than Princess Twilight, as well as why timeliness don't always match up between the two.

One weekend, Rarity invites Applejack to Canterlot for tea and the chance to catch up on things. Simple right?

Instead, they learned that the tea shop just so happened to have caught fire. And a familiar pair of kirin are somehow responsible. Surely, there's more to the story, right?

A random spur of the moment comedy piece based on another art piece from Icey. This one being based on the kirin version of the 'Barbie Mugshot' meme.

Work in the orchard had always brought Applejack joy. Seeing her cherished trees grow and her apples shine never failed to put a smile on her face—even if those smiles have grown a little dull as of late. She never once complained about an honest day's work.

But now, like so many times before, she has to visit the one place that appears dark even in the brightest of days. The place that reminds her of her failure.

Written for Bicyclette's second A Thousand Words contest in the category 'Slice of Life'.

For years, Hitch Trailblazer believed many things about Unicorns and Pegasi that he now realizes were complete lies. After escaping Zephyr Heights, he sits by a campfire and talks with his former enemies. Can this be real? Yes, it is. And now it was time for him to do better.

But sleep? Ah, sleep is a more difficult thing to achieve when one has emotional turmoil. Wouldn't you agree? And what is more, looking back to the past can be most painful. Does Hitch have to face this guilt alone? No. There is one who may be able to comfort him.
A certain white pegasus princess.

During an attack on Ponyville in the middle of the Summer Sun Festival, Princess Twilight Sparkle evacuates the town by teleporting the entire population to safety in Manehattan. It turns out that her idea of safety needs some work. As well as her aim. And spelling.

Meanwhile, on a hot summer day outside of Manhattan, Kansas, Jonagold Bruener had a fairly successful life with few complications. Until while out mowing hay, he had a very strange visitor fall from the sky. And then another. And another. And another....

Twilight Sparkle is an extremely important pony to you. After ending up in Equestria, she was the one who took you in. She was the one who taught you what friendship can be. She was the one who treated you like an actual person. Over time, the two of you became extremely close. How could you not fall for her? The problem was, you weren't brave enough to let her know that. It took some time to finally build up the courage to tell her how you feel.

But you were a day too late.

Ocellus is struggling with her feelings, new and old, and contemplating just who or what she is, deep down. Now is not a good time for making big decisions.

So naturally, when a beauty contest breaks out in the Hive, the decision is made for her: she gets drafted to participate. Silver lining? If she wins, she might win the affections of the one crush she's had so far.

It's Ocellus versus a bunch of crazy girls who can barely read and take everything out of context.

This can only end well for everyone involved.

Author's note: technically set in the same universe as My Fey Lady, but not a direct sequel, and no prior reading required.

The Unity Crystals had been acting oddly for a few days, piquing Sunny and her group’s interest. The artifacts' power was unknown, holding untold secrets of the ancient world within them, but what it bestows upon them is beyond any of their wildest imagination. With endless questions, and an absolute need for more information, the ponies begin a journey to find some kind of an answer.

Leading them to the forgotten ends of Equestria, the path to their goal sends them through the ancient world where the foundations of friendship itself were laid. Though the answers they search for may be better off unanswered.

Sunny knew of the ancient world, the Elements of Harmony, and the six ponies that saved Equestria time and time again. She'd learned how the Element bearers' stories started, and how they ended, all except one - Twilight Sparkle. She always dreamed about learning more of her hero, but never would have imagined how she and her friends would soon become entwined in her tale.

Time can do many things, and for the idol of friendship, it can be her undoing.

This story was started and heavily planned when only Chapter 2 of Make Your Mark was available.
