Believing it to be an easy job, two thieves broke into Princess Twilight Sparkle's castle. With no Royal Guards protecting the castle and Twilight herself gone, her valuable possessions were as good as theirs.

Or so they thought.

Last but far from least, special thanks to Little Tigress for drawing the great cover art.

All Princess Celestia wanted was to open a window. A simple window into another world, for no reason other than to prove their existence. She never wanted it to become a door. And she certainly never wanted anything to come through. But, as is proven so often, we don't always get what we want.

It's not all bad. What comes through is a perfectly ordinary pony. So ordinary that its very presence risks the destruction of magic itself.

Ordinary, after all, is highly relative.

Gallus and Silverstream are finally a serious couple. This, of course, gives Silverstream the idea of having the them visit her parents in Seaquestria. Gallus isn’t sure what he dreads more: meeting the hippogriff’s parents or the water.

(This story takes place between School Daze and Heartwarming Club)

Sandbar’s family makes a visit to the school of friendship to spend the day and check up on him. Which means one thing most importantly, Sandbar gets to introduce all his friends to his baby sister! All his friends are excited and eager to get to know the little pony, that is except for Gallus and Smolder. Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on who is involved), a moment which involved a lost little filly and skipping class might change that.

One thing ponies lack in Equestria is Taco Bells. With enough hard work from enough ponies, that can change.

Negotiations and raising capital are one way to get an official franchise. Alternately, there’s the Glen Bell method: learn how it’s done, then copy it. Get ponies into every level of production, from the tomato fields to the restaurants, find out who supplies the machines and buy their own.

Is it ethical? That’s a grey area, but it might be the only chance to save 7-Layer Burritos.

A human joins the Summer Sun Celebration in Ponyville during Nightmare Moon's return. He thinks he's going to regret it. He's probably right.

A three part silly short, reboot of the "Hands" universe but doesn't require prior knowledge of that fic. Just for fun.

Time travel is not a simple case of following someone back to stop them from committing whatever evil deeds they plan on. To stop a change to the past, one must prevent the traveler from going there in the first place.

Twilight and Spike failed to do this, but that's okay.

Trixie Lulamoon is already Great and Powerful, but a mare can stand to be greater and powerful... er.

She finds Starlight far too busy with running the School of Friendship to be much help, so she seeks out a pony to be her mentor as she becomes a true wizard.

This story is all SockPuppet's fault. Blame him.

Twilight needs to pick up light bulbs. All of her friends decide to tag along. Should be an easy trip, right?

Nope. Turns out nopony can handle going to this Home Depot-esque store.

Cozy Glow loves games. She has as long as she can remember. The pony she plays with most often is her father. They play a lot of games together, but her favorite is chess. She's never beaten him, but she will someday, right?
