Big Macintosh is a stallion of few words, but that doesn't mean he's slow or uneducated. Unknown to any outside the Apple family, he's a wiz at math and finds himself smitten with the one pony who could share his love for numbers, and who just so happens to be the personal student of Princess Celestia; Twilight Sparkle. With a "gentle" nudge from his persistent sister, Big Mac manages a date with the purple unicorn, but a relationship might turn out to be more work than either one bargained for.

The challenge? Daunting. The reward? Worthy. Failure? Not an option. For Big Macintosh has accepted the bet, and thus begins A Ballad of Eeyup and Nope - in which he isn't allowed to say either.

When Twilight and Applejack have a falling out over who can claim to have the best big brother, each will stop at nothing to prove theirs is better.

And their brothers will stop at nothing to make their sisters happy.

Big Mac is usually quiet, reserved, and thoughtful. But he has had it and he's about to let his family know what he really thinks. Will his views end up getting him kicked out of the family?

What happened to Big Mac after he ran off after Starlight Glimmer had made the stallion known for silence unable to stop? Cursed to say everything he had always held inside, how will Mac survive a day as every thought he has he says out loud. What will Mac do when he runs into ponies that he had always wanted to say something to, but held his tongue? Will Ponyville survive a uncensored Big Mac?

Just a fun little story I came up with as I have become completely blocked on Auction and Ghost Rider again. Also a early birthday gift to the ever so awesome Jake the Army Guy. Thanks go to Arbarano, Chief Maximus,Docontra, Jake the Army Guy, and The Masked Ferret for all the edits.

Thanks also goes out to Golden Vision and again Chief Maximus for having to deal with my ranting and belly aching.

Applejack has never missed a meal on purpose before, let alone a Pie Day dinner – that glorious day of the week serving Granny's famed hot, fresh apple pie. So why was Applejack absent at the dining table today, of all days? Little does the rest of the family know, Applejack's a lot closer than they think – she's in her bedroom, nervously pacing around and building up the courage to perform the single hardest thing she's ever done.

What is this herculean task that not even Applejack can overcome?

Being honest…

Now With Dramatic Reading!

As a princess, Twilight always thought life would become busy, stressful, maybe even taxing, and she loved the thought. However, there are three other princesses, so she is going to need to take a few lessons first before she can figure out how to make the menial important and get back to her normal work again.

Now if only the subject of her study didn't have such a cute butt!

Thank you Telaros for prereading!

Rainbow's Wonderbolts career requires her to go to all sorts of events, including fancy parties. She has a big charity event coming up, and needs a little help.

A picnic is going on in Ponyville, and to be honest it's pretty terrible.

So what do you get when when, at said picnic, you mix a scheming Spike, a crushing Rainbow Dash, an impassive Big Macintosh, an angry Applejack and an arrogant Twilight?
Love. You get Love.
And a whole lot of destruction.

A silly, fluffy MacDash story written for Captain Unstoppable's MacDash contest. Enjoy!
