"It's called 'Shh'," said Fluttershy. "It's a game about who can be quiet the longest. Sound fun? I'm the world champion."

Fluttershy is not a pony who makes things up. She really is the world champion of "Shh," or The Quiet Game. And now it's time for her to defend her crown, with Twilight Sparkle and Rarity along for the ride.

Ponies gravitate toward Twilight. Through charisma or just getting thrown together by circumstance, she's gained a lot of friends, but when has she ever simply walked up to a pony and said, "I'd like to be your friend"? Time for the Princess of Friendship to fix that.

Luna's last letter let her let her love-laden lamentations live.

Inspired by a chat/brainstorm with Closer-To-The-Sun on the way back from EFNW. And of course, the awesome song by The Who.

Twilight's Library approved.

Off the south and eastern shores of old Manehattan, there is an island where the sun never rises. An island where a sickly bluish light suffuses all the darkened air, where trance music rocks and pulses through the grandly sculpted cities like the pumping of the blood. An island to which Equestria is rapidly losing population, as well as influence.

What is this place, this land of Nocturne? And who- or what- is its mysterious ruler?

Pinkie Pie's friend, Snuggles, is only the coolest pony ever!

He gives the best hugs, and he's sweet, and gives the best hugs, and he's friendly, and gives the best hugs, and he really is such a great stallion! Also, did Pinkie mention the hugs?

Pinkie's friends quickly figure out she appreciates Snuggles for more than just his hugs. The Party Pony, Pinkie, has a crush. Unfortunately, Pinkie has never had a crush before. Does her crush like her back? What do you do with a crush? Why is it called a crush when it feels more like a squish?

Maybe she needs some help from her friends. Just in case. After all, nopony's ever gotten hurt with a crush? Right? ...Right?

This story is a sequel to Discord's First, Last and Only Friendship Report

Set in my "Next of Kin to Chaos" series, but no Star Trek knowledge is needed for this story. More or less direct sequel to "Discord's First, Last and Only Friendship Report", but not humor. Celestia summons Discord to explain himself regarding his ridiculous "friendship report", but the conversation quickly diverges. Discord wants to know what Celestia wanted to reform him for, and what he's expected to do. And Celestia wants to know why he decided to reform.

A page for this series now exists: Next of Kin to Chaos

Edited to add: The marvelous zabchan drew me this lovely cover art! Thank you!

Fleetfoot isn't the most recognized Wonderbolt. She isn't the most admired of the bunch. She doesn't even receive the credit for a successful show most of the time. However, none of that matters to her. What matters to her is her team.

And she wouldn't give them up for the world.

Thanks to Mr101 and Bad Seed for their help on the story. You're awesome.
