What if pony princesses were actually highly social carnivores?

What if a National Geographic team began following them around to film a documentary?

What if nopony saw anything unusual about this?

A metaphor about growing up. Or possibly a metaphor about living in a surveillance society. Or maybe just a very, very weird idea that needed to become a story.

Celestia pays a social call.

Princess Celestia is due to arrive in Ponyville in a few hours. Nothing is ready. The town is being invaded by a swarm of parasprites. Pinkie Pie has gone completely loco-in-the-coco and is rushing around Ponyville collecting random musical instruments.

However Berry Punch and Golden Harvest have another problem to worry about. They have to redo their banner.

Originally written for the writeoff: All In

Spike has a hoard nopony knows about, something he's been using to do a dragonish thing in a ponyish way.

But now it's the other way 'round.

My entry to AppleDash competition #3: Competition!
We all compete in something, but it's not the competing it self that is important, it's the reasons we compete. Rainbow Dash was going to Canterlot to watch Applejack compete in the Canterlot rodeo, and then enjoy as peaceful 1 year anniversary dinner with her mare-friend. But as you might guess, things didn't turn out the way they were supposed to, and instead, Rainbow Dash ended up learning a valuable lesson about competing and the things we compete for....

This story was originally based on this promt by Bookplayer:

Another already together story-- AJ goes back to the Canterlot rodeo, and does much better this time. Dash is there, and thinks that AJ should focus less on the farm because it's obvious that AJ could be a world champion rodeo pony if she focused on it. The conflict comes from the differences in how they see competition and how important it is to them.

But I don't really know how much of it that made it in the end.....
Thanks to my friend Follow Focus for prereading this and wasting so much of his precious free time to read my stories! :P

Rainbow Dash is injured at Sweet Apple Acres and is unable to fly home or to head up her storm team. A leaky roof puts Applejack's guest room out of commission. When these two friends share a bed, friendship slowly becomes more. But what will their friends and family think?

Cancelled, see this blog post.

Scene change markers were scaled down from here.

The heart wants what the hearts wants, right? But what would happen if you never truly knew what your heart wanted? What's supposed to be a usual morning for Applejack quickly turns to chaos as she is left with three questions.

What happened to her?
How will she cope?
Why do the Cutie Mark Crusaders keep following her around?

A big thank you to Kutsune Risu for proofreading it and an even bigger thank you to Jackie for the astounding cover-art

Note: I won't be following the canon established by the S3 finale.

Twilight and Pinkie Pie have been friends ever since Twilight first stepped into town. Wanting to keep it that way, Twilight kept her feelings for the Pink pony hidden. She did, until Pinkie developed some feelings of her own. Left alone to plan Spike's surprise party congratulating him on his part in defeating King Sombra, those feelings start to surface, and maybe affect those of others.

Pinkie Pie isn't the only pony in town with a sweet tooth. Rarity had forgotten that today was the day the snack carts rolled into Ponyville, bringing them: the delicious phenomnomenons. But these decadent treats may turn out to be unhealthy in more ways than one. Can Rarity resist the temptation?

Sincere thanks to the masterful and genteel Harwick for providing the cover artwork.

Rarity and Fluttershy are closer to each other than with anypony else, they're truly the best of friends. But during their usual get-together day, strange feelings sprout within Rarity. Is it... love?
