One thing has been bugging Twilight Sparkle for almost a whole week, and she just can't seem to get it out of her head. What's in that darn box that's so important? Well, she's not about to give up just yet, even though she can't find any clues to where the keys might be. Or even where to start looking. Surely it can't be that hard. And such an important box has to have a reason, right?

Author's Note: Just a short little funny story intended to help me break through my writer's block.

Most would say Thanksgiving is a time for relaxation, time with family, and happiness.

For Twilight Sparkle, however, it's a time for panic. The princesses and Shining Armor are coming over for dinner, and it's not even ready! To make matters worse, Spike is asleep.

Will Twilight be able to make this Thanksgiving one to remember? Or will it burn, like hay bales of Thanksgivings past?

Author's Note: In the spirit of Thanksgiving, this was a collaborative story between myself, IceboxFroggie, LivingLie, Tinq, and TheExhaustedBrony. Each of us wrote a different portion. This fic was edited by my good friend Eagle Heart.

Second person fic. YOU are the protagonist.

You are the son of Brass Turret, father to you, Steel Sentry, and your brother, Flash Sentry. All you wanted was to waste away your days hiking and camping with your dad and brother, and spend your nights listening to dad's war stories and tall tales. This was all well and good, until one day, you began to live one of your dad's tall tales.

Author's Notes: A collaboration with my good friend Kalash93. Obvious parody of the newest CoD game, Call of Duty: Ghosts. Reference material can be found here and here.

After months of royal business and no time to play, Princess Twilight Sparkle arrives in Ponyville. Melancholy settles in as she continues to observe her friends go about their lives, busy and carefree, without her. If only Spike could cheer her up... What is there for a princess to do?

After so many months, Rarity gets the fateful news of Spike's inevitable fate.

Author's Note: Part of a competition with my good friend The Tobacconist. Our challenge was to write a fic where Spike breaks up with Rarity. The maximum word limit was two-thousand words. Hope you enjoy.

Author's Notes: A collaboration with my good friend Elusive Element.

Twilight has been cursed with a sudden desire for ice-cream. She doesn't want anything from town because she believes that the quality is lacking. Twilight takes it upon herself, with the help of Spike, to create the perfect treat that tasted so great, a single lick would send sensations through your body that would be enough to shake the foundation of Canterlot castle.

A(nother) collaborative effort with,electreXcessive. Please go and check out his stories, he's a great writer.

Written for the One-shotober challenge!

Everypony's gone camping and it's Twilight's turn to tell a story. Apparently nobody wants a science lecture, so she tries her hoof at a scary story. A tale of foalhood, and a strange presence...

Author's Notes: A story I've been holding onto for a long time, but finally had a chance to release thanks to my good friend Flint Sparks.

When two brothers awaken in terror after a nightmare, they decide that the best course of action is to spend some time together.

Author's Notes: A story based off of an experience I had with my little brother when I was littler. Written purely for the sake of sheer adorableness to test my hand at it. Hope you enjoy!
