Anon is adamant that bananas are the best fruit in the universe. Applejack disagrees, for obvious reasons.

Fistfights ensue.

This happens more often than you'd think. It's all in good fun though.

Princess Celestia sent her student, Twilight Sparkle, to meet five mares in Ponyville who will help set up the Summer Sun Celebration.

She just never said they'd be hot.

Chinese translation by SoothingBell!

When Rarity accidentally nicks Twilight during a fitting, she discovers just what alicorn blood can do, properly applied.

Winner of the 11th Quills and Sofas Speedwriting contest. The prompt was "Spurred to action."

Clover the Clever never asked for his life to get so complicated.  It was bad enough tricking a drunk Imperatrix Celestia, war goddess of the Three Tribes, out of her accidental coup against Queen Platinum.  But now the most dangerous pony in Equestria has returned to trade her claim on the sun for a chance to woo him.

On top of that, his erstwhile mentor Star Swirl the Bearded has saddled him with a mysterious magical necklace and a uniquely bleak and pointless prophecy: If he's brave enough, and if he's clever enough, he just might survive Celestia for long enough to break her heart.

Recommended by PresentPerfect! "horizon gave me the story I needed rather than the one I wanted ... along the way we get some very strong lessons about love, and meditations on the value of a lifetime and what one pony can achieve on their own."

This story is a sequel to Weekly Disaster

Discord is back in town to see how his friends are doing. During his visit, he gets into an argument with Max the changeling over what constitutes a prank.
Discord is of the opinion that for a prank to be funny, everyone must see it. Therefore it must be loud and showy.
Max says some of the best pranks are only ever noticed by the one who set it up.

...Twilight Sparkle's day was ruined from the moment she slipped out of bed.

Commenter challenged me to throw out a story in which Twilight keeps tripping. This is the result of the idea. Turned out I found the topic funny and that made it pretty easy to write. Please note that this story is in no way connected to Twisted Fate. Max was the name I started with a while ago, I just made the bad decision to use the name again.

So this idea hit me about two weeks ago. I don't remember who linked it, but there it was. A clip of Yugioh abridged, ending with the Yugi yelling "ALL THE HOMO!" It stuck with me. I became obsessed with finding a way to use this overplayed joke in this beautifully pure world.

The more I played with it, the more I realized that the best one to utilize this joke would be, of course, a changeling.

Inspiration from this.

This story is a sequel to Where there's Will, there's a Way

Seeing a way to relieve both Max's general aggravation and Twilight's irritation at the Canterlot Magic Societies, Pinkie suggests a prank. Max is quick to aim at the unicorns who threw out the purple princess's last research project, leaving the alicorn with no ready excuses. Will she embrace her first taste of blood(pranks)? Will Canterlot survive two immortal pranksters?

This story is a sequel to A Question Better Left Unanswered.

Twilight had seen them all. The party cannon, Pinkie's spy gear, her flying contraption. None looked like they should work, like they were the idle fantasies of a foal. So why by all that is logical do they work?

This story is a sequel to A More Subtle Touch

There are so many things Twilight could have pursued an answer for. What actually made the region dependent on ponies when the other countries run wild? What is the origin story of the changelings? Can other pony races learn to cast spells?
Instead, she turned to a volatile subject. Once more, she targeted Pinkie Pie. Her changeling test-subject is all to happy to help her answer that question, as well as one of his own.

"How many times can you prank an alicorn before you end up on the moon?"

Every year, I write to the princess. I think she's amazing. I want to be just like her.

I wonder if she'll ever reply.
