A voice is telling Twilight to build a cottage cheese laser.

But she's not having any of it.

Haycartes was one of the greatest equine intellectuals of all time, having made outstanding contributions to geometry, algebra, optics, as well as magic. He is regarded as the Father of Modern Philosophy. Yet, these days, many ponies do not even recognise his name.

Twilight Sparkle and Moondancer set out to educate their friends. Using the Haycartes Method of course.

A crossover with Descartes' Discourse on the Method.

Big Macintosh may have known that he was going to have ponies bring up what he did for the Sisterhooves Social; however, the farmpony wasn't expecting for Princess Twilight to come to his home and speak with him about it personally.

This story is a sequel to Clean Slates

Twilight Sparkle: Brilliant, Powerful, Sociable, the very model of the modern major unicorn. She, however, has a poorly kept secret. Her memory for everything non academic is terrible!

Caution: Contains adorable young twilight.

Shoutouts and mad props to Georg's "The monster in the twilight" and Commander x5's "Twiny" series for inspiring this.

Everypony has had the hiccups at one point or another in their life. It's usually a non-event. However, when Twilight Sparkle gets the hiccups, things may not go quite so normally.

Note from the author:
I regret posting this. Like, a lot.

Takes place in season 1

Twilight Sparkle, mostly settled in the small town of Ponyville, finds herself at a loss as ponies start letting themselves in (literally and figuratively) into her life. On her end, she and (for some reason constantly brought in conversation) Spike are doing perfectly fine.

But the ponies... Oh, the ponies are in a uproar as they wonder and ponder the big questions.

What did Twilight 'do' to get sent to Ponyville?
How exactly was she coping living 'alone'?
What really was the story about Spike?
Didn't she need 'help'?

A young thang like herself, raising her son alone in a little place like Ponyville, needed all the help she could. Or not. Maybe, she didn't. Being a fool who got herself knocked up and thrown away from the Princess on high...

Twilight is an astonishing child, with both talent and genius. However, she has her own special problems. Problems involving memory and ponies. This makes her quite a handful for foalsitters.

Enter Princess Foalsitting services! Guaranteed skill and quality, for those little problem children! But is Twilight too much for a genuine princess to handle?

Caution: Adorbs Abound.

As children and as adults, Twilight always had conflicted views about her brother. Pure and simple, he was a weirdo around her. Sometimes, he would be in a good mood. Sometimes, he would be in a bad mood. And sometimes, he would be smarter than her using his strange logic. For Twilight, logic does not exist. Not that kind of logic. That logic was wrong because it always, always made her feel stupid.

Her brother Shining was aware of that and took pleasure in taking her down a notch. It's only a game that only smart ponies could understand... And if his sister couldn't understand that, she didn't deserve to call herself the smartest.

It was supposed to be such a pleasant Sunday morning. Nothing could have brought down Twilight's mood on such a beautiful day, not even the fact that she ran out of oatmeal for breakfast.

But what do you do when your future self suddenly pops in for a visit? What do you do when several dozen more suddenly show up? And what do you do when you have no way of getting rid of them?
