Star Swirl the Bearded and Clover the Clever come together to discuss Equestria's future. Clover the Clever makes the age old mistake of kissing her teacher. There are consequences.

All the mayors in Equestria have insane amounts of paperwork. To lessen their paperwork, they decided to make lists of things ponies can't do. This is the tale of what happened when they started making those lists.

This story is a sort of sequel to Ssendam the Masked's Fifty things ponies can't do, which is an excellent story that you should go read. Seriously, go read it.

After ascending to Princesshood, Twilight decides that it's time to really take the notion of "A Sound Mind in a Sound Body" to heart. She has the "Sound Mind" bit down (mostly), but years of sitting inside hunched over a book has given her quite a bit of ground to make up on the "Sound Body" front.

Fortunately, she has an athletic friend to help her out.

It was a day like any other, until Apple Bloom tried a bite of the forbidden fruit.

Fluttershy has antlers, and she likes them.

But antlers don't belong on ponies, and everypony seems wary of her now. Even her friends.

Three months can seem like an eternity, but in the timeless nature of hibernation, it passes in a blink. Spring is here, and Tank has awoken, ready to reunite with Rainbow Dash.

However, there's a small complication.

Twilight is troubled to find an open book on Rarity's head when she goes to help Rarity fit a dress.

Should she tell her?

Rainbow Dash has an unusual way of learning, and Twilight’s determined to take advantage of it. Before she knows it, Rainbow’s worst fears become reality and her life unravels before her eyes as she becomes the smartest pony alive.

The dark tag is for the implications of the story.

An entry for the April 2015 write-off event, with the prompt “Great Expectations.”

"Who knew three words could be so powerful? Who knew a simple phrase could send my heart racing and my mind so confused and afraid that I lose the ability to speak? I mean, I’m a tough mare, so hard to crack I’d probably break you if you tried, so why is it that you could do it so easily?"

A short one-shot in which Rainbow Dash is told the three words that break her tough exterior.
