When Sweetie Belle got zapped during the Zap Apple Harvest, no one thought much of the filly's light electrocution. However, the zapping has given her a most unusual ability... the ability to change the color of objects, temporarily, into the colors of the rainbow. This is surprising to the little filly, as she has yet to achieve mastery of most magical arts beyond a novice.

Naturally, her adventurous streak gives her an idea. Sweetie Belle will become a superhero. She is the vibrant guardian, the watcher of the palette. She is...

Zapfilly.

"I choose trick."

The door slammed.

Well, what do we do now?

After weeks and weeks of convincing, Rarity finally decides to take a day off and ride a roller coaster with her friends, but what ends up happening on the ride is something nopony could've ever predicted.

Spike has been trying to impress and date Rarity since he saw her for the first time. His efforts has usually been fruitless.

After another failure and an advice from a friend, he had decided to try something completely different but, as usual, it didn't turn out well.

In this story, Spike is going to explain how he got in really serious trouble.

It's a really hot day in Ponyville, and Scootaloo is working hard to win some bits by herself. The dreadful heat makes her crave ice cream, so she decides to purchase one with the money she earned. However, things never go as planned...

Original idea by Carmine.

I'd heard about the TV show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic from my college roommate who is way too into the show. Disturbingly so, actually, but good gravy I would never watch the darned thing! What am I, five? I've got better things to do with my time than watch a silly little girl's show. However, that didn't stop... something from transporting me into the world of the show, so here I am... in Equestria... trying to get home. This is gonna be interesting.

When the Cutie Mark Crusaders ruin Applejack's stetson hat, Big Macintosh offers to take it to Rarity's boutique in order to get it repaired. But was that the only reason he's going there?

Takes place pre-Season 5.

Special thanks to TheDizzyDan and Scootareader for proofreading and editing and cleaning this story up in general.

A literal telling of the shift between the Generation 3.5 ponies and their version of Ponyville, to Generation 4's ponies and their Ponyville.
Where do the old ponies go?

The Cutie Mark Crusaders, frustrated with their lack of success, begin searching through Twilight's library in an attempt to find out more information about cutie marks themselves in the hope that they will finally understand the way to get their cutie marks. However, the trio runs across an ancient book containing evil spells and they attempt to get their cutie marks in the worst way possible...
