This story is a sequel to Petriculture

It's been several months since Pinkie Pie made a stunning admission about her past that permanently changed her relationship with her friends, particularly Twilight Sparkle, but life seems to have settled back to normal (well, normal by Pinkie Pie's standards, at least). However, when an old nemesis returns and ensnares Twilight in her influence, it's up to Pinkie to make things right.

This is the second story in The Petriculture Cycle. There is a TV Tropes Page for the entire Cycle here.

In an effort to keep her mind occupied, Twilight Sparkle decides to delve once again into the grand mysteries of Pinkie Pie. This time, Twilight's focus is on her claims of growing up on a rock farm: like so many things related to Pinkie Pie, the idea that somepony could grow rocks as an agricultural product makes absolutely no sense. However, the investigation eventually leads Twilight to a rather... surprising discovery.

This is the first story in The Petriculture Cycle.

Pinkie Pie throws excellent parties. This is a fact of life, like Fluttershy being rather demure, or Rarity having a sense of style. But the fact is, Pinkie's parties cost bits, and her job at the bakery isn't supporting her passions anymore. So she dusts off her degree and opens a side business...

Discord, being the magnificent creature he is, is lonely in his stone prison. Celestia has a... rather creative way to help his boredom; a maze! And if he can succeed, she will even let him rule! But not all is as it seems, and Celestia has more than just a trick up her metaphorical sleeve...

Twilight's reshelving day is interrupted by EQUESTRIAN CAPS LOCK DAY, which comes around every year on the 28th of June. Pain ensues.

I found out that it was Caps Lock Day a couple of hours ago so I tried to get this done before it ended

The adventures of Daring Do become a thrilling reality as Rainbow Dash explores ancient ruins, battles sinister foes, and endures shameless cliches in search of a legendary artifact.

War is a terrible thing that has no place in the Equestrian universe, so what happens when they do it anyway?

Tom's history goes beyond just being a rock.
No, he's fate, and he alone tied Equestria together.

-The Life Story Of A Rock-

Pinkie Pie is a hyperactive pink earth pony. Scootaloo is a daring orange pegasus. What do they have in common? The dream of flight. After they run into each other (literally), Scootaloo is roped into Pinkie Pie's plan to help both of them fly.

This story contains VERY mild shipping at the very end, so I didn't rate it as romance.

Twilight asks Big MacIntosh to read to the Cutie Mark Crusaders while she runs an errand. He's not much of a reader, but he just can't say nope to Twilight.
