Ponies take to dance numbers like fish to water. Humans... do not. When Pinkie Pie gets up to her old tricks during a shopping trip, the other girls try to resist the Equestrian magic and its latest compelling song.

A one-shot spin-off of What They Expect to Give, my mature AU EQG romance drama. Takes place a few years before.

My Ko-Fi

Twilight Sparkle never thought she would ever be interested in teaching. Her entire existance was spent devoted to the study of magic (and the avoidance of making friends). But everything changed after she hosted a presentation at Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, the very same school she failed to enter as a foal.

Now she is in tiny Ponyville. A village just to the west of Canterlot. It's small, quiet, and unassuming, Twilight Sparkle is certain that it's the perfect place to learn how to teach. After all, nothing happens in small towns, right?

Unfortunately for Twilight, destiny works in strange ways, and the very fate of Equestria may depend on... Making friends?!

(Edit 5/2020: Okay, last time I edit this description and then I'll let it be what it is. First and second chapter have been revised. Enjoy!)

This story is a sequel to Magic Ears

The CMC is Ponyville's premier problem-solving organization. Though it consists of only three young mares, they rarely fail and their skills are a valued asset to Princess Twilight Sparkle. When Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, and Apple Bloom are sent to Canterlot on what seems to be a routine, if high-profile, assignment, an unfounded urban legend will turn out to be a very real (and unique) quarry.

*author's note* I'm still learning the craft, so I'd appreciate any feedback you have!

Cosmic balance is a fickle thing. Sometimes, creatures like Luna and Celestia can work as independent agents of Harmony, at least one of them present assured the element's presence in the world.

But what of Discord and Chaos? What happens when the master of the matter is sucked dry of his power, no longer worthy to represent it?

Simple. A foal is born.
