Beta Reader: The amazing Emtu

It's been six months since Starlight Glimmer became Twilight Sparkle's pupil. During that time, she's learned a lot about ponies, friendship, and even herself.

On a hilltop, the two mares meet, and Starlight explains what she's learned and how she feels about the experience. That experience includes how she feels about her mentor.

It's really good tea. Trust me.

This is a one-shot.

Gallus and Smolder are ready to take the next step and go through what may be the most important day in both of their lives.

Now if only somecreature could find out where in Tartarus they went to.

In completely unrelated news, a diligent pizza parlor employee receives two new customers to serve.

Flurry Heart wants to know what happened to the Crystal Empire's previous rulers. Cadance answers with as little detail as possible, and unintentionally teaches her daughter about a tradition she wasn't aware of.

Entry for the Cadance is a Terrible Mom contest, and 1st place winner! Admittedly an idea I've had in my head for a while, thanks for the excuse to write it!

Princess Cadence wants her daughter to live a normal life, which means going to a normal school and getting a normal education. One night, her precious little princess refuses to do her homework, so Cadence decides to help her. It can't be that bad, it's just math after all.

Part of the Princess Cadence is a terrible mom competition. I thought I’d throw my hat in the ring and promote it so some other creative people could try their hand at this contest. Cash prizes to whoever can make the judges laugh the loudest.

A pony walks into a bar. A very royal pony. She proceeds to drink far more than she should. She also cheats at ping pong.

This story is a sequel to The Application of Unified Harmony Magics

  After the incredibly awkward reunion last night, Sunset is less than eager about her promise to introduce Twilight Sparkle to Princess Celestia. Maybe it would help if Twilight could go more than five minutes without a panic-driven ramble.
  Despite her doubts, Sunset decides to do her best. But between a bowl of ice water, Philomena’s antics and Celestia’s sly smile, Sunset knows this isn’t going to be easy.
  Still, Twilight probably could have handled it better.

Summer vacation means no school, but it also means long days often without anything to do. What is any pony to make of such a thing? This series of stories explores the many feelings of summer for the denizens of Equestria.

Fleur is Twist's Prench aunt, and she's coming to Ponyville to visit for the day.

Twist seems a little down, and Fleur talks to her about two subjects she holds near and dear to her heart; love and beauty.
