This story is a sequel to Harmony Unbound

Luna is home again. A new home, in fact; a library in Ponyville. Things are messy right now between her and Celestia, and awkward. After things ended so poorly between the two of them last time, and clearly neither of them is ready to face the other again, she instead found herself a new place in the world.

But Luna is not sad. She has a new life, and new friends to lift her spirits. It's all helped her settle in, settle her past, and finally be happy again. Even if she cannot or does not go back to her old life with Celestia, she's plenty confident she'll remain cheery and content.

Then tickets to the Grand Galloping Gala arrive for her and her friends, and it completely stresses her out. Because Celestia will be there, and she might not be ready, even by then.

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.

Yona and Sandbar have been going steady for about 3 months now, and all their other friends find it cute. However, maybe they've gone too fast in this relationship when Sandbar tells them they've done... IT!

Thanks to Darth Link 22 and CrackedInkWell for helping edit this.

There are things in life we wish we'd never have to see or hear, and for Spike, one of those things is having his friends angry at one another. Years and years of pent up anger from every grievance they've ever felt, all bursting out in one terrible display. And amidst it all is the young dragon, who only wants them to just stop.

Spike's eleven year nap is interrupted by a little filly in his treehouse...

This story is a sequel to Nopony Interrupts My FRIENDSHIP SPEECH, Starlight Glimmer!!

After a failed rescue mission to save Princess Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Fluttershy, Spike, Flurry Heart, and the other Princesses, Starlight Glimmer found herself helpless against the might of Queen Chrysalis and the Changelings. It looked to be all over for them and Equestria.

That is, until Starlight started acting odd when Chrysalis teasingly said "friendship speech" and Thorax informs Chrysalis why Starlight was acting the way she did. Afterwards, things got nuts.

Will Twilight and the others be saved from their cocoon prisons, and will Chrysalis be able to help(?!) Starlight?

This story takes place during the events of the season 6 finale. But the season 5 finale did not happen in the continuity of this story, but Starlight is reformed and is still Twilight's student. This story's predecessor would explain why, and it took place during the season 5 premiere.

However, it's not mandatory to read it first to enjoy this story (and laugh) since enough will be explained to understand what's going on.

Last but definitely not least, special thanks to TheHardie-Boy For proofreading this story.

EDIT: Made the featured list on 09/19/19!!

EDIT on 09/20/19: After thinking about it, I added the "Dark" tag to this story. It should fit what will happen in it.

Personal discovery is a wonderful thing. In Silverstream's case, five words softly uttered from a certain distraught friend was all it took to ignite a furious fire in her heart.

Unfortunately for Grampa Gruff, he was flammable.

*Spoilers for Season 9 Episode: A Horse Shoe-In*

This story is a sequel to Celebration at Twilight's

Discord wants to enjoy the Summer Sun celebration with the rest of Ponyville.

Sure, everybody's already dead by the time he arrives, but it's not like that's going to stop him.

Cornered by Princess Twilight Sparkle and her friends, who just got their Cutie Marks back, Starlight Glimmer thought Twilight was ready to "bore" her with a friendship speech.

However, thinking of how Starlight interrupted her earlier friendship speech attempt by yelling at her to be QUIET, Twilight wasn't planning to give a speech this time. Not least, not quite like the ones you would usually think of.

This may not end well for the former ruler of "Our Town" if she doesn't start running!

This takes places in part 2 of the season 5 premiere...obviously.

Special talents.
That thing that sets ponies apart from each other and gives them a path in life. The one thing that they excel at, broadcast to the world by their cutie mark.
The spectrum of special talents is as wide as the day is long and twice as varied as you think it is.
But, interesting talent or mundane, everypony needs a job to put food on the table and not every talent lends itself to one.

After all, not everyone can be blessed with specific high-demand talents like "growing plants" or "cleaning" or "flying". Even less often does a pony get a particularly nebulous concept or multi-faceted skill like "magic" or "partying" that can apply to any number of jobs.

Sometimes, no matter how good you are at what you do, it's just not something you can make a career out of.

But for those unlucky few, there's a group filled with other ponies who face the same problem that they do.
