Twilight has developed a device that can detect strange signals coming from outer space; signals from aliens! She gathers her friends so that they can all listen in.

But they may not like what they hear...

I'd appreciate if everyone could keep the YouTube embeds in the comments to a minimum. The sheer number of them is putting a bit more strain on my connection than I'd like. I'm going to start deleting any comments with 2 or more embeds in them.

Spike is determined to show Rarity that what he feels is more than just a simple crush.

Sweetie Belle is ill when Rarity leaves her home for a week to check her shop in Appleloosa. The third day there, Twilight sends her an urgent letter, telling her Sweetie Belle had passed out while at Sugarcube Corner. Rarity races back to Ponyville to find that Sweetie has a serious condition, one the two sisters will have to work through together.

Applejack hears a noise in Granny Smith's room late one night. What she finds breaks her heart.

Celestia and Luna are unicorn fillies struggling to get by, when Celestia gets her cutie mark and attracts the eye of the King and Queen.

Part One of The Sisters of the Sun and Moon trilogy.

Twilight is bored, sitting alone in her castle, and contemplating what to do with her day, when Pinkie shows up with a surprise.

When Sugarcube Corner burned down, Twilight offered to let Pinkie live with her. Living with Pinkie can bring out a lot of things in a person, though. Annoying habits, odd quirks, and feelings that had been ignored for a long time.

Pinkie Pie is hosting yet another sleepover. This time only Sunset and Fluttershy are available, and everything starts out well, but as soon as Fluttershy falls asleep, Pinkie plays a prank on her. Fluttershy isn't too happy when she wakes up.

This is based on a real life experience with me and my two friends at my birthday sleepover party.

Twilight Sparkle lives in the ideal world of Equestria. There, she is a pony, strong and proud, surrounded by friends, and with only studying as her job. Though some may try to mock this, as the student to the princess of this land, she is revered as one of the smartest and most amazing mares in the world. She even has the honor of defending the land, and going on adventures few even see in their dreams.

It is these dreams that for five years, Celestia has recorded, while looking over the human known as Twilight Sparkle.

Co-Write with Jumbled Thought

Everypony in Ponyville knows what's up with Scootaloo: why she can't fly, where she lives, why her parents are never seen. Sure, the theories may contradict one another, and some of them are way out there, but everypony knows the truth.

Don't they?
