A group of men have done the previously impossible: they have created a portal to another world. Not only that, but the world they've discovered is heartwarmingly familiar to some of them. At first, they could only see into this other world, but soon they hope to be able to travel there.

It's everything they ever could have wanted. Right?

Sometimes dimensional travel is fast and easy, but also random and painful. With no clue how he arrived, and no easy way to get home, how does he survive?
Some minor language.

This story is a sequel to To My Princess, on the Day of My Departure

Just off Equestria's shores lies the Kingdom of Aquastria, where sea ponies, mermares, and a host of other fantastic creatures live under the benevolent rule of King Leo the sea lion. In this underwater world, Nar Wally the narwhal finds himself smitten with Electra the mermare. Electra, however, secretly loves Arrow the sea pony and openly scorns Wally. But when Electra makes a rash decision that endangers a pony's life, she may have to sacrifice her freedom to save him, and Wally may be the only one who can come to her aid.

This is based on the picture book My Little Pony: Under the Sparkling Sea by Mary Jane Begin, but should be accessible to all.

Jack Andrews is a student training to be a Catholic missionary in Equestria. Lyra Heartstrings is a starving artist trying to make it in Canterlot's music scene. With Lyra's help, Jack is going to introduce the ponies to the joys of Christmas.

Or, if that doesn't work, he'll at least introduce them to the joys of eggnog.

"The humans? They were here. This history book says so."

Shortly after the return of the Crystal Empire, Twilight Sparkle borrows a book from the Crystal Empire's library, and it speaks of Equestria before Celestia and Luna lived among the other creatures of Equestria, when they lived just as the sun and the moon.
But the book also speaks of a species that was banished from Equestria,

the humans.

Twilight, intrigued by her new found source of knowledge of a species she has never heard of before, decides to look deeper into the study of humans.

Short stories of various genres which I've submitted to the Thirty Minute Ponies Tumblr (or "Abecedarian excuses his poor writing by claiming he only had half an hour to get it done.").

Includes stories inspired by prompts I've missed out on, stories where the writing took too long, etc.

(Note: There are some minor edits from the versions posted to the Tumblr. Nothing too significant, mostly just fixing misspellings or adding or taking out words or phrases I thought I'd dealt with I as writing, but didn't. I type slow, so I don't have much time to proofread.)
