Sometimes, all we need are a few stats to shed some light on a subject.

When Twilight gets a letter from Trixie informing her of the show mare's fast approaching visit, Twilight's all too happy to show her friend the town. Eventually, with Trixie wanting to go shopping, the two wind up at the Carousel Boutique. Putting the past behind her, Rarity amazingly mingles with Trixie a bit, and the three get onto the subject of magical cosmetics. Some remarks were made, and those lead Trixie to try some magic of her own.

Unfortunately, not waiting for Twilight's help, Trixie's spell backfired. The end result was her mane, coat, and magical powers being altered to match Twilight's. She's still Trixie inside, but that can be a problem on its own, too, especially now that she has the strength of Celestia herself.

This fine, comedic story was also worked upon by Skeeter The Lurker, Chaotic Noteworthy, and RainbowBob within the first few chapters.

There may be spoilers in the comments. You've been warned.

For their first home together, Twilight and Applejack wanted a house close to Applejack's farm and big enough for Twilight's books, with a little something special besides. They settled on the perfect place, one of the oldest barns on Sweet Apple Acres, and had it converted into a comfortable house for their little family. But when strange things start happening just after they move in, Twilight finds that she has a mystery to solve before she can really call her dream house "home."

My entry into the TwiJack Hearth's Warming Contest.

This is a story about a mare who was loved by many, she had friends who played and laughed with her. Never was her day dull when her friends were around but suddenly that all changed. Her friends that laughed and played with her, threatened her and scolded her with great anger. The kind mare at first tried to reason and find out what she did wrong but, now she's resorted to hiding. Will she be able to earn her friendship back or will she be forced to leave Ponyville...

After being dragged out of the quiet, simple life of a priest, a stallion known only as Preacher must not only protect the wasteland's inhabitants lives, but their souls as well.

The only question is, if he must fight the monsters, will he become one himself?

This was a fun little collaboration done with the likes of bookplayer, sparkfyre, Future, xjuggernaughtx, KrazyTheFox and KitsuneRisu. Each author has written their own portion to this story, and their name will appear in the chapter that they have written.

Here's the catch: this fiction works in the same way that a game of telephone works. bookplayer started off our fic. She then gave her portion to me, and only me. Then, I wrote my section, and I handed off my section, and only my section, to sparkfyre. This worked itself all the way down to KitsuneRisu. So, each author was only able to see the section written by the author before them, not the entire story, much like the game you might have played in your childhood.

Cover art unrelated. Well, kind of.

Enjoy.

After Apple Bloom gets grounded, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle have to go stargazing alone.

Equestria is barely three years old, and already danger threatens the fragile peace forged between the pony tribes. Monsters stream out of the Forest Ever Free on a daily basis, and now a prophetic dream foretells of even greater chaos that will befall the land.

It's up to Star Swirl the Bearded and his team of manly, heroic, eminently bearded (and strangely familiar!) stallions to brave the dark and murky Forest Ever Free in search of their one hope for salvation. Along the way, they'll learn more about the history of the land they've claimed as their own, not to mention each other. But as their unintended friendships grow, the forest will try its best to drive them apart.

Can they withstand the epic trials before them? Can they save Equestria? Will Star Swirl be known forevermore as the creator of Equestria's first beard-restoring spell? Journey a thousand years into the past and discover Equestria's epicest, beardiest history lesson ever!

Magic is one hell of a drug, kiddies, and Sweetie Belle had to find that out the hard way.

When Applejack is set upon by a series of unnatural nightmares, she turns to good friend and confidant Pinkie Pie to try to figure out exactly what's causing them. Day after day they struggle to learn the skills that will allow her to make sense of it all, as they discover what is needed to walk the realm of dreams.
And as time goes by, the clearer the picture becomes.

But still it remains - the mystery and the clues that lay scattered across her nighttime episodes where words do not exist, only to be analyzed during the day where conversation is all she has.

Join Applejack and Pinkie as they work it out together and traverse a story where nothing is ever as it seems.
