Once upon a time, ponies did not know how to count very far. Clover the Clever tells her two young fillies the story of how her mentor, Starswirl the Bearded, learned the secret of counting from the dragons.

Twilight Sparkle has doomed the world, now she faces a choice.

Rainbow Dash can’t wait for her first date with Applejack; they always have an awesome time hanging out, and a relationship just means there are even more physical activities they can try together. So when the dumb zap apple harvest postpones their date, she decides it’s the zap apples that are going to have to change their plans. Equestria should know by now that wild, ancient magic is no match for Rainbow Dash, especially when she might get laid.

Everything is going according to plan, until she crashes. Or, rather, until she wakes up after crashing and fifteen years have gone by. Fifteen years during which she seems to have been a very busy pony.

Now Rainbow Dash has to adjust to a life she never thought she wanted, and figure out if she’ll ever get to live the life that brought her here.

On a particularly bright day, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle wandered through the park, enjoying themselves. They happened to stumble upon a private picnicking area behind a rather obtuse tree, and to their surprise, it was in use by Rarity and Rainbow Dash. They'd normally not pay this much mind, but for two such ponies to be acting so friendly with one another required more attention from the two fillies.

She used to go by the name Twilight Sparkle.

She used to go by Princess Celestia.

There used to be a land before Equestria.

But somehow it all went wrong. And now the student must face the teacher to take it all back, so that it can all move forward.

Having accepted Twilight's offer of apprenticeship in the magic of friendship, Starlight Glimmer returns to the community she founded long ago, in her first attempt to make amends.

Pinkie Pie is the one mare who can boast claim to being everypony's friend in the town of Ponyville. She loves the ponies of Ponyville, and they love her back.

But just because they love Pinkie Pie doesn't mean they love EVERYTHING she does. And every year in the late fall, Pinkie indulges in a tradition of her own construction that has begun to wear thin on the natives of the tiny town. A tradition that involves Pinkie invading personal space, surprise attacks, and copious amount of rump slapping.

Fortunately for the ponies of Ponyville, this is the year that tradition ends.

Takes place sometime in season one during the first autumn Twilight Sparkle spent in Ponyville.

Small choices. Big choices. They all have the potential to completely change your life, for better or worse, whether you want it or not.
Octavia made one such choice when she decided to leave for Manehatten and start making her name there, rather than relying on Canterlot's posh society's respect for a wealthy, influential family name.

Batsy Fluffentuft (not the most respected of the lunar guards, and in fact on super-probation from Princess Luna herself) manages to escape into the town of Canterlot and have herself an adventure.

Agreeing to help Twilight Sparkle find the Elements of Harmony to end Nightmare Moon's reign had been hard enough a decision for Applejack to make. Now she had an even harder task ahead of her: telling her family what she was about to do.
