It's been three days since the Equestrian Railway Service incident, and things are finally calming down in the wake of the Dusk Guard's first mission. Three days since the team's first mission came to a successful conclusion. Three days since their first trial by fire. Three days since Sky Bolt, the team's engineer, had everything she'd created put to the test. And it all worked. Nothing went wrong.

So why can't she sleep?

This story is a sequel to Emoticon

Not too long ago, Sergeant Major Dawn Triage, medic of the Dusk Guard, broke a rule. It was easy. Simple, even. No one said anything. No one even noticed. And it wasn't a major rule. She simply ... neglected ... to ask for permission from a patient of hers before running a test. It was only to indulge a faint curiosity, an interest that she was fairly certain would never achieve any actionable result. "What harm could it do," she'd asked herself, "if nothing ever came of it?"

Perhaps she should have asked herself what would have happened if something had.

Sixth and final of the Side Stories to The Dusk Guard: Rise. Familiarity with Rise is not required per se, but recommended.

When a boy squirrel and a girl squirrel love each other very much, Fluttershy decides to conduct a marriage for them on the most beautiful fields in Canterlot. But alas, President Obama decided that he wanted to golf in another plane of existence, so he uses executive action to build a portal to Equestria so he could golf there and ruin a poor squirrel's wedding. Fluttershy is not gonna take it! She and her friends (including Twisted Sister) fight back!

Yes it's a political satire/MLP trollfic. Don't'get too offended, it's supposed to be an over-exaggerated joke.

Tell me if you get the Adventure Time or Full House reference.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy! That's the most likes I've ever gotten! Thanks everypony! (and I just found out it's slightly more popular than one of ROBCackeran53's lesser known stories. He's got more likes, but it's the same amount of votes, and this here story has more views and comments. I guess that's an accomplishment)

(I am not considering this my first story of 2015, since I wrote it mainly in 2014.)

So basically, our heroes win this battle with a combination of how the Guardians of the Galaxy won their battle (it was literally the power of friendship, which MLP had already done years before) and how Spongebob defeated Plankton in the Spongebob movie (the power of Rock and Roll, using a Twisted Sister song, although Spongebob's lyrics were altered)

"... at the forefront of our fandom’s writing scene ... Masterpiece." —PCaRG

"...worthy of high praise." —PaulAsaran
"Lots of wonderful world-building, great action, well-developed characters and an engaging story." —Hoopy McGee

Steel Song is a lot of things. Earth pony. Uncle. Professional bodyguard.

Retired.

So when he receives a mysterious package from Princess Luna a few weeks after the changeling invasion, he's understandably apprehensive. More-so when he presents himself before the Royal Diarchs to find that not only do they desire him to come out of retirement, but to take command of a most unusual position...

A position that may have more significance than any of them suspect. Because strange thefts are occurring on the Equestrian Railway, thefts that nopony can explain. Thefts that may have far more sinister intentions than their seemingly innocent nature may convey.

Intentions sinister enough to shift the balance of power in Equestria forever.

Book I of The Dusk Guard Saga.

The Oscars are coming. Again, Leonardo DiCaprio has been nominated, but this time, can he win? He's been embarrassed so many times in front of the prestigious Oscar crowd. He couldn't bear to let his heroes down anymore. So he decided to use satanic rituals to summon the manifestation of honesty itself, Applejack, to tell him where he went wrong. Can Leo fix his ways in time for the Oscars?

FINALLY! As of February 28th, 2016, this story is officially AN OUTDATEDD JOKE!! YOU DID IT LEO!

When Sonata Dusk walks into Sugarcube Corner during Pinkie Pie's shift on a Friday afternoon, it seems like a normal, routine event like with any other customer.

When Sonata comes back the next week - and the next - and Pinkie eventually asks her out - it's more fun than the colour pink or warm caramel-fudge swirl.

Neither has any idea what they've gotten themselves into.

This is a minorly-altered canon (but probably not entirely alternate universe) fic in which Pinkie and Sonata meet two weeks after the Fall Formal and five months before the Battle of the Bands. Some artistic liberties with the Rainbow Rocks movie have been taken, but with caution to keep close to the original plot, and so this story is rife with movie SPOILERS for anyone who hasn't seen it yet.

A special shout out to my dear girlfriend Cynthia for not only providing some BEAUTIFUL cover art for this fic, but also for reading along and providing moral support as I wrote, and to Monochromatic for helping me through the process of publishing to FiMFic for the first time!

Pinkie Pie loves Twilight, and she'll always do her best to make her happy.

Even if that means sacrificing her own happiness in the process.

Sometimes, when I look at fanart... things happen.
This was one of them.
I'm sorry.

Shining Armor has everything - the wife, the house, the life. So when he rolls over to find the creature that crashed his wedding and nearly wrecked his chance at happiness snuggled oh-so-sweetly at his side, with his darling Cadance at his other, it's all he can do to keep it together and try to assemble the missing pieces.

Twilight's castle may have magically sprouted from the Tree of Harmony, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have to comply with Ponyville's zoning laws.

Pinkie Pie has a normal day, or at least as close to a normal day as you will ever read about in my trollfics. My randomness knows no bounds, and my logic is illogical. Forget the rules of the universe, let's just read this story and start questioning what the heck you're even reading! YEAH!

During reading, you may experience confusion, loss of sanity, slight to severe dizziness, a strange taste for lobsters, and an epic dosage of RANDOMNESS!

Other than that, enjoy! And feel free to give a suggestion who you think I should troll-write about next!
