In an effort to keep her mind occupied, Twilight Sparkle decides to delve once again into the grand mysteries of Pinkie Pie. This time, Twilight's focus is on her claims of growing up on a rock farm: like so many things related to Pinkie Pie, the idea that somepony could grow rocks as an agricultural product makes absolutely no sense. However, the investigation eventually leads Twilight to a rather... surprising discovery.

This is the first story in The Petriculture Cycle.

Artwork by Page Turner. Now with a TV Tropes page.

This story is a sequel to Petriculture

It's been several months since Pinkie Pie made a stunning admission about her past that permanently changed her relationship with her friends, particularly Twilight Sparkle, but life seems to have settled back to normal (well, normal by Pinkie Pie's standards, at least). However, when an old nemesis returns and ensnares Twilight in her influence, it's up to Pinkie to make things right.

This is the second story in The Petriculture Cycle. There is a TV Tropes Page for the entire Cycle here.

Twilight gets a special visitor at her house and has the night of her life.

It is the morning after the Royal Wedding, and Twilight Sparkle wakes up to expect it to be like any other day, until, instead of Spike, she meets a little dragonNESS named Spines who claims to be her number one assistant. She then finds out that her friends, everyone in her village, and pretty much everyone in Equestria, even the two reigning princesses, are all the opposite gender. What's more, they're claiming this is how it's always been. Even more so, her "coltfriends" turn out to be harboring romantic feelings for her! Will Twilight be able to solve this conundrum to change things back to normal, or will she be forced to adapt to her new lifestyle? Will Twilight's friends (lovers) bring their beloved egghead back to her senses, or will she be driven to do something everyone would regret?

Why in the world are Twilight and Applejack sitting at the bar, downing shots of possibly flammable liquids? Why are the rest, minus one or two, joining them? Why ever did I write this?

Warning: While this is not clop, it does allude to some adult themes. You have been warned.

(CJ)Cave Johnson here, (TW)Twilight Sparkle here, (CJ)and we will be testing the least safe parts of science possible! First, we're going to see if we can turn Scootaloo into a chicken! (TW)For science! (CJ)Yes yes, for science! Then we will see if Applejack can survive if we replace her apple trees with combustible lemon trees! And last but not least, you all might have wondered, what happens when you give Pinkie Pie coffee? Well, we're about to find out! (TW)For science! And many more! The possibilities are endless!

Twilight Sparkle understands that she alone knew of the prophecy of the return of Nightmare Moon and she is determined to do her part to prevent history from repeating itself, but can one little pony possibly make a lasting difference?

A short story written over a year ago (So take that into account, season 2 hadn't happened yet) this story was written mere days after I fell in love with the show. Lunafics were all the rage at the time.

Twilight Sparkle, Princess Celestia's most prized and faithful student, is being sent to Ponyville to learn about the magic of friendship.

And she's not happy about it.

Hear what Celestia has to say back! Check out the spinoff:
