"What strives us ponies onwards you say? It isn't knowledge, or power, fame or fortune. No my friends, we do enjoy these things make no mistake, however these are just pretty words to cover up our true selves. What we really fear, what we have always strove to deny...That everything we have done, everything we are can be summed up in a simple string of words: The fear of being alone." Professor Newton Star: Introduction to Philosophy, University of Manehattan.

Sundays are always special for her; but, through the thick and thin, this was most certainly Rarity's best Sunday ever.

‘A horse walks into a bar...’

One evening a despondent Applejack walked into Ponyville’s tavern. The next morning she was gone without a trace.

In the days following her disappearance the inn’s landlord recounts events in Ponyville as the town searches for its lost friend, struggling to understand why she left, and where she went.

Applejack had heard the things that Pinkie had said about her father, and they went best unrepeated. Applejack had also heard the things that Pinkie deliberately hadn't said, and they'd given her nightmares for a solid month. No pony should act in that way to another pony.

So, when Igneous comes by looking for Pinkie, Applejack has to find a way to send him away again...

(This story is based on an incident referenced in the backstory of Estee's excellent Triptych Continuum, and is an interpretation of how the confrontation between these two ponies could have gone in a very slightly different universe. It may contain spoilers for Triptych. You have been warned.)

Spike, though he's accepted that he's really a pony at heart, still feels down about the differences between him and the rest of his species. He tells Rainbow Dash how he feels, who does her best to cheer him up, her way.

Sunset Shimmer had no idea why everyone was taking to this new girl so quickly. What does she have that she doesn't? Besides friends? And an endearing personality? And a cute butt.

On a diplomatic mission to the Zebra lands, Princess Twilight learns something about communication.

Beyond the Equestrian borders lies a frontier filled with magic and mystery, history and treasure, but also incredible danger. A young Pegasus named Dusty dreams of making his name and fortune by scouring these lost lands for ancient artifacts. But Ivory, his childhood friend and stalwart companion is always at his side—even if her magic isn't exactly what one would expect from a unicorn.

When their escapades run them afoul of the royal fleet, Princess Celestia sends one of her old guards with them for a mission that, unbeknownst to them, may change the world forever. Some remnants may be better left in the past, and others are timeless gifts, waiting to be rediscovered... but one thing is for certain: the friendships that these ponies make will last forever. If fortune is on their side, it will be enough to save them.

Cranky Doodle Donkey has spent years searching Equestria for that special jenny he lost at the Grand Galloping Gala. He's been to cities far and wide, and searched from the peaks of the tallest mountains to the floors of the lowest valleys. He's seen it all, or so he claims. The roads are his and his alone, and the solitude is something he's simply grown used to.

Until one night, he discovers a filly hiding in a snowy hollow, scared, alone, and freezing to death...
