The Cutie Mark Crusaders have been friends for ages, so it's no surprise that they're spending Hearts and Hooves Day together... but they have plans for how to spend it.

Not-so-platonic plans.

Featured from 9/20 to 9/23.

Princess Flurry's dates are not up to Imperial standards.

With thanks to various Discords for brainstorming and Samey90 and RDT for pre-reading.

Ocellus is absolutely smitten with a certain orange dragoness. She's determined to turn herself into Smolder's perfect match. To do that, she needs to do some experiments.

In the process, she'll become very familiar with the School of Friendship's garbage cans.

A commission for Trinary.

Dash wants to help Rarity live out her romantic fantasy. But since Dash hasn't got a romantic bone in her body, she figures she'd better call in some experts...

This was going to be my entry in the 183rd Writeoff contest, "Gone by Morning," but I barely got a handful of paragraphs written by the deadline. So when the 207th contest, "Counterfeit," came along eight months later, I got my act together and finished the story. I'm rating it "Teen" due to assorted discussions of sexuality and such.

Twilight has a talk with a few of her alternate-universe selves. It turns out that she's the only one in the known multiverse to have a marefriend, and she does what anypony else would do.

She brags about it until she's blue in the face. Too bad she bragged a bit too much.

For Discord, causing chaos is not a hobby or even his job. It is what he does. So when Tirek offered him an excuse to cut loose from harmony and friendship, only to be rebuffed, Discord went against his very nature. For a spirit like him, this is similar to willingly poisoning himself.

Why does Starlight have a crush on Trixie? What made her think this way? And should she ask her out or not?

Starlight has a lot of questions for herself and they're very confusing. Surely she should be able to find the answers to them if she just gets a second to clear her head. After all, she's the most powerful unicorn spellcaster alive! There's nothing she cannot do if she approaches it with a rational, reasonable mindset.

Probably.

Written for the StarTrixMaud contest. Editing help provided by Lofty Withers and WritingSpirit.

Pinkie Pie has a secret that not even she knows about.
What will the truth affect? Well, probably not that much, to be honest.
But it sure makes for a neat party trick!

Filed as "Teen" just to be safe, but all mentionings are very circumspect.
An entry for the Monster Mares Story Contest

After sleeping in on her day off, Berry Punch goes to the store.

No one has ever seen Rainbow Dash on a date. Still, ponies assume that she’s attracted to… mares? To stallions? Hm. What sex of pony is Rainbow Dash attracted to?

Rarity intends to find out.
