Sweetie Belle made a big mistake. Said big mistake turned the town into fruits and vegetables. But thanks to Mayor Mare's quick thinking, that's all passed now!...Then why does she still seem to be acting weird? Perhaps Princess Twilight can help get to the bottom of this.

Another commission by a regular customer of mine, Alexwarlorn . This one in the aftermath of Friends Forever #15 where Sweetie Belle had a magic surge that turned most of the town into fruit and that perhaps Twilight could relate to her situation. Hope you like it!

A short story with a lesson over what has become one of my pet peeves. Rainbow Dash becomes disturbed over new historical fiction written about King Sombra and needs a little advice from Twilight.

Ever since her return, Luna's been hesitant to return to the Dreamscape, believing that ponies don't need her entering their dreams anymore. Finally deciding to take a chance, Luna comes across what appears to be a nightmare. Within lies a boastful mare, completely astounding the audience with her performance. However, things change when the act is over when Luna catches a glimpse of the pony within.

Can Luna reach past this mare's boastful exterior? Can she find the truth behind the act?

After her face and body are permanently scarred, Rarity seals herself off in her room with the lights off and drapes drawn, too disgusted by her own appearance to be seen. The only comfort she has comes in the form of daily visits from Spike, though she keeps the room dark to hide her deformities from the baby dragon. Can he convince her that she has nothing to fear; that her beauty is not limited to what she looks like?

With her friends and the school seemingly turned against her, Sunset Shimmer flees, quickly finding herself in the presence of a strange student, whose views clash with everything Twilight and the others have ever taught her about Friendship.

However, does that make him wrong? Is Friendship truly Magic? Or can it be something much darker?

With Twilight away in Canterlot, Spike is left to his own devices. But Ponyville isn't the busiest of towns and before long, boredom begins to creep.

So to cheer himself up he decides to go spend time with his friends. Five stalwart companions whom he has known through thick and thin.

But Spike soon begins to realise that really, those are Twilight's friends. Not his.

In fact he starts to wonder whether, since he moved to Ponyville, he's actually made any friends at all...

(*2nd edition. Based on feedback, the final chapter and epilogue have been added-to to better reflect the contributions of the CMC.)

After repeatedly being excluded and left behind from the Mane 6's adventures, only to do his chores at the library, Spike begins to feel bitter about his role as Twilight's assistant.

But upon seeing a shooting star one fateful night, he makes a wish that turns his life upside down.

The results of this wish will force Spike to discover the true meaning of purposes in life, friendship and most importantly, being wary of what you wish for.

Twilight is in a room. There is a golden hammer and a cup of water. She must choose between the two.

By the end of this test, an unlikely lesson will be learned.
