The last time the Cutie Mark Crusaders worked on the school newspaper, they used gossip, rumors and innuendo to drive circulation through the roof. Their brief rise and rapid fall taught them a valuable lesson about truth and honesty in reporting. Apologies were made, hugs were exchanged, and everypony lived happily ever after.

For about three weeks, anyway. Now the Crusaders are back in the newspaper business, and it won't be lies that set the town on fire.

A short story about the triumph of enthusiasm over ability.

Written for the December Writeoff Event, Behind Closed Doors.

Far out, man.

Hearth's Warming is a magical time of year, and not just because of the actual magic. Joy and friendship fill the air.

Joy and friendship and magic. That's still important.

Today, Twilight is tasked with meeting Trixie at the train station. However, the experience may prove to be more than she expected.

Because of the magic, you see.

Twilight Sparkle and Rarity meet up at a cafe for tea. Everything seems to be going well, until Rarity asks a rather alarming question.

In a desperate bid to get Twilight's crown, Sunset Shimmer threatens to destroy the portal between her world and Equestria. When Twilight refuses, Sunset Shimmer snaps, and brings the hammer down.

She does not take it well.
