Pinkie Pie has an existential crisis while painting her room. This self-parody is dedicated to Professor Piggy, who once told me that I could write a story about Pinkie watching paint dry and weave it into an incredible psychological journey. Let's see if he was right.

When Twilight is visited by a distraught Applejack, she is asked to decipher the significance of a package containing five apple cores. Surely, this is the mystery of a lifetime?

Yet another short random piece with no ostensible moral. There's a cookie to whomever gets the title's inspiration, though.

Miss Cheerilee informs Applejack that she never passed elementary mathematics. Since every pony in Equestria is legally required to understand rudimentary math, Applejack must retake and pass a basic exam in order to avoid going back to school.

Sounds simple enough, right?

"The night will last FOREVER!" But Nightmare Moon soon finds out that overthrowing a government without a plan of her own leads to some very interesting questions when it comes to ruling a small pony nation. Luckily, eleven ponies are ready to provide help, even if Nightmare Moon doesn't want it.

Seriously...why didn't she consider the crops?

To prove she's ready for more responsibility on the farm Apple Bloom decides to raise her own tree, with no help from the rest of her family.

Lyra knows the truth. Lyra knows that a shadowy conspiracy dating back to the very dawn of Equestria is responsible for manipulating every major event for the past two thousand years. And Lyra does not care how many museums she has to destroy or how many transdimensional rifts she has to open in her quest to inform the public.

There's something strange and unnatural living in Bon-Bon's house.

Something other than Lyra.

Ponyville has a problem: Twilight's friends all switched Cutie Marks, and the musical numbers are flying thick and fast.
Lyra has a problem: She can't handle the way musical numbers get into your head and take you over.
Bon Bon has a problem with that.

Reviews and other word-of-mouth:
"I just can't find words for how much I enjoy the ideas on display here. … I didn't expect to be rating something this highly, this quickly." –Bradel
"The Lotus Eaters was the story that made me realize horizon wasn't just good, he was really good. Then Fugue State showed me he was really good repeatedly." –Bad Horse
"a strange but intriguing story ... [horizon's] so good at this ponyfic lark that it's still a highly satisfying read. ★★★★" - Louder Yay
"This story is weird, and I mean that in a good way. … [Horizon] thought about how ponies might react if [musical numbers] were a constant in Equestrian life." –Chris

Fugue State now has a sequel!

Story the First: Lyra and Octavia battle(?) because of an ancient prophesy(?)
Story the Second: Cheerilee makes poor decisions. Vinyl helps(?)
