How hard is it to take care of a baby on your own, right? Cadance quickly finds that motherhood isn't all that it's cracked up to be. And with Shining Armor away, the responsibility falls entirely on her to figure it out. Even if her methods are... a little unorthodox.

This story is for the Cadance is a Terrible Mom Competition! Sorry I got it in so late!

This story is a sequel to A Canterlot Leaddening

After the Crystalling of Flurry Heart, things had calmed down for a while. About the only incident of the last few weeks related to not getting her her bedtime snack in time. But now, she has achieved a milestone. Six whole months.

As is tradition by now--at least according to Cadance--all the Sparkle family must be trained in the ways of love. Not the magic of love, for that's her specialty. No, Flurry will learn the ways of the lead, and spew much death and destruction upon her enemies. If she can figure out how to pull the trigger, that is.

Reading the prequel is not required to understand this story.

The clock is ticking. After being united in Canterlot's crystal mines, Twilight and Cadance, the real Cadance, must combat the threat of whatever infiltrated the alicorn's wedding, or risk losing not only Twilight's brother, but her friends, too. The solution will be difficult and the path fraught with danger, but with the power of love on their side, they can do anything. It will require a lot of love, though. Specifically, a love of bullets.

Another big thanks to EverfreePony for their editing prowess.

It can't be denied that Flash Sentry hasn't exactly had the most successful love life. True, he's been thought of fondly by those he's been with, but he's never quite managed to make anything stick. Enter Pinkie Pie, self-proclaimed "helper of all", who sees this most eligible of CHS' bachelors, and decides it might be worth lending a hand.

Flurry Heart may seem cute, but she secretly has a super secret agenda. That mostly involves throwing ponies out a window. Yep, that’s how she overthrows her mother. Throwing her out a window. Why don’t more people do this?

Also, fair warning. The story does jump from third to first person. Just so you’re less confused.

This story is a sequel to Spike's Pen Pal: First Meeting

Another reason why Gabby just loves visiting to Equestria? Because it's where she's allowed to sing. And on this special night with Spike in karaoke, the friendly neighbor griffin prepares to sing her heart out for the whole night and dragon to remember.

Sharing the spotlight are Equestria's Diamond In The Sky, Element of Generosity, famed fashionista, Rarity.

Cadence gives Flurry some magic lessons. This may doom Equestria.

This is barely a story. I was bored.

Flurry Heart is not like other filles. She’s your local geek, otaku, cosplayer, comic obsessed fangirl. She’s also a Princess, but who cares?

And it’s her favorite time of the year, the San Neighgo ComicCon.

Cosplay? Check!

Life savings? Check!

Extra big saddlebag for her new collectibles? Double-check!

Permission form her parents? Che… hey! What you mean with diplomatic meeting? Does it have to be today? Wait! Not fair!

No, this is not going to end like this. Flurry would go to ComiCon and that’s final!

A silly one-shot for the Cadence is a Terrible Mother contest!

Cadance thinks it's important a Crystal Princess lives up to her heritage. Shining Armor isn't so sure.
