Dumb-bell panics after his girlfriend cancels their date at the last minute.

On a related note, male kirins look exactly like female kirins if you add some false eyelashes.

Dumb-bell and Hoops are two of the Boy Bullies in MLP. Winter Flame is a background kirin.

First you're born, and then you're recorded in triplicate. The end of labor is the start of a very long paper trail, because nopony can exist without being documented. Sending copies of a new foal's documents to the Herdbook Registry is perfectly normal. And of course, in order to make sure there's nothing strange going on, that paperwork gets reviewed. Which is done by bureaucrats who establish absolute control inside their office while having no idea of what's happening in the actual world. So as far as they're concerned, the forms associated with somepony named 'Flurry Heart'...

Don't tell them. It's funnier if they find out on their own.

Twilight is a learned soul, and a learned soul is a busy soul, and a busy soul might have forgotten that it's Mother's Day this weekend.

Thankfully, Celestia comes to the rescue.

Celestia can’t help but notice that her newest student has not been herself the last few days. She resorts to an unusual method to try fixing it.

A moment of Filly Twilight/Princess Celestia fluff. Basically the E-rated version of Comforting A Student, made because I thought the nonsexual parts of that story deserved a wider audience.

So yeah, Gallus was happy enough he supposed. Had a great boyfriend, and actual friends. Life was good.

...except for ongoing debates on if being gay should be allowed. Stallions were a precious thing, and well mares outnumbered them ten to one. So what did that make a stallion wanting to date another guy? Gallus, faced with the potential ending of his relationship, worries and then he speaks out. Loudly, in fact.

If you told Gallus before he moved to Equestria that he would become a part of the hippogriff royal family, he'd call you crazy. Yet, here he is, and the anxiety is killing him.

Luckily, there's a pony in attendance that knows a thing or two about marrying into royalty.

Apple Bloom and Spike have a secret book club. While they enjoy their books, sometimes the world of fiction doesn't always provide the escape they'd hope.

During a diplomatic visit from King Thorax, Princess Luna discovers that, inexplicably, his brother Pharynx hates her lavender. And for that matter, potted plants in general.

That won't do, of course – even if Pharynx is the new Changeling Prince – and so she'll need to teach him a lesson.

And one lesson won't be enough.
