Pinkie Pie has seen Twilight frown and wander the edges of town, looking into the horizon. She knows what troubles her immortal friend. Her life is short after all, at least compared to that of an alicorn. It stings her heart to see a friend so sad.

So, she prepares a gift for Twilight. It might not be much, but a single memory might weather the road ahead.

This is that memory.

Somehow, I've always known.

Though Rarity adores her time with Applejack, there's no denying that there are some things she'd simply rather not do. But, one thing about being friends with people is that, sometimes, you just gotta do what the other person wants to do with you. So today, Rarity finds herself, joy of joys, in the great outdoors.

Twilight's run out of ideas for new inventions, so she invents something to fix that.

No one said the machine would produce good ideas.

Though they no longer live near each other Twilight's friends are always there when she needs their advice. Especially on their once a year friendship day, of course. Though not even for friendship day does the princess' work stop, they do get the end the day with a picnic dinner.

More 1k weirdness, enjoy!

Frostheart did not enjoy the period of Hearth’s Warming. It was too loud; too bright; there were far too many ponies everywhere; And far more importantly, there was far too much good cheer and joyous feelings abound.

And since, as a windigo, she kinda needed negative emotions to survive, that last one was a serious problem.

Which in turn forced her into having to sneak into a pony settlement during Hearth’s Warming Eve in order to find some negative emotions to eat. The plan was simple, find somepony having a bad night, have a discreet meal, and leave. In and out, minimal contact with the ponies. Easy.

Now if only she could tell why the settlement’s name was ringing alarm bells in her mind things could be perfect! Oh well, she could think about it more as she searched for a target within Ponyville.

My Name is R has done a Reading of the story.

Ever the avid learner, Ocellus spends much of her free time, even when back at her home, studying as much as she can. And this devotion has made her the pride and joy of the Changeling hive, so much so that she receives an unexpected visit from none other than Thorax, her King.

Pharynx's transformation had changed more than his appearance: he had gained a new appreciation for ponies and the love and friendship they had. So when word of Chrysalis' return reached the hive, no one was surprised to see Pharynx readily agree to lead the hive's army into battle to help save Equestria. After all, ponies were Pharynx's friends now!

And while that was true enough, none of them knew that Pharynx had another reason to do so... a much more important one.

Edit 22 Jan 2021: Now with Youtube reading by CitreneSkys! She did it for practice and it turned out pretty good. She's also got some good stories of her own, so check her out if you haven't already.

Having finally accepted the idea of shared love magic, Pharynx has transformed. Thorax's efforts to lead an excitable pack of changelings have only eased with his broodmate's help, but Pharynx's shape and status aren't the only things to have changed. Much of Pharynx's cold demeanor has begun to thaw, presenting Thorax with something he's never had, before - an interactive, albeit slightly irritating older brother.
