Applejack visits her sister in her time of need.

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle are concerned when they see Scootaloo upset after hearing that some royal guards got injured during a war that's going on. Scootaloo soon admits that her father is one of the guards in that war and she talks about how much she misses him and how she wants him home. One day, her wish comes true.
This story is based on the image "Surprise, Scootaloo" by THAT1ANDONLY at Devaintart. I would like to thank him for letting me use his drawing as my inspiration.

The Cutie Mark Crusader's have sleepover in Carousel Boutique talking about colts they have crushes on, the latest gossip, more ways to try to get their cutie marks, and pranks?

It's just a sleepover, The Cutie Mark Crusader way.

An unfortunate mishap forces the Cutie Mark Crusaders to run away from home or else face the consequences of their mistake. Hijinks ensue, friendships are strengthened, and lessons are learned as the three of them try to make it on their own in the wild...for however long it lasts.

As far as great ideas go, Twilight stumbled across the best one of all - throwing Pinkie Pie a shocking, frightening horror birthday surprise party! But as the six friends walk into the old dilapidated house on the hill, and the moon rises high above them, pranks turn sour and tempers boil, and the six friends find out that perhaps, the best ideas might not be so great after all. As the gang succumb to the dark horrors of the house and fall to machinations of their own design, Equestria gains another sordid legend to tell.

Applebloom has had a room of her very own for over a year now, and she no longer has scary dreams when she's all alone in the dead of night. But something has come back to visit her, and this time she's old enough to know two things: it's not her friend, and it's not imaginary.

A very short and moody story about one of the many things grown-ups forget.

Apple Bloom discovers a tragedy in the Everfree forest.

Home alone for the first time is a ritual of passage for the young. It's all fun and games for one filly ... until night falls. Are those creaks the sounds of the house settling in or the stalking steps of something searching sustenance?

When asked why she delves into the most ancient and treacherous temples in known and unknown Equestria, Daring's most likely response is a shrug and a casual, "Eh. It's a living."

At some points, however, the most petrifying ventures have the potential to be those merely within the complex ruins of the inner city. This is one of those ventures. Daring Do, with her heaviest load of cold hard cash strapped firmly to her back, must walk through the cold hard streets of Manehattan... at night.
