After a talk with Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, Twilight Sparkle is left confused. The Sisters believe that there may be a way for her to become like them. A way for her to become nigh-immortal.

Twilight isn't sure what she wants.

With no idea how to move forward by herself, she looks to her friends for advice.

It's been a week since Zesty Gourmand's hold over Restaurant Row was broken. Delicious food of dozens of different varieties is being prepared, and business has never been better.

But Zesty Gourmand isn't done yet. She's recruited Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Prince Blueblood and intends on having their royal palates challenge Restaurant Row, starting with the Tasty Treat. The chefs of Canterlot face their biggest challenge yet as they prepare for a Royal Review...

The Tasty Treat becomes a successful restaurant, despite not having the three-hoof rating that makes all the restaurants in Restaurant Row successful. The Queen of Cuisine, Zesty Gourmand, will not let this stand without criticism.

Unfortunately for her, somepony else will not let her flawed method of critiquing restaurants go unpunished. And he's not holding back anything. No way in Hell, especially in his own kitchen.

Spoilers for Season 6 Episode 12

Random Oneshot Idea that just popped in my head.

Contains vulgar language and verbal bashing (Judging from the cover art, you can tell why).

Dash has been having a crisis of faith in the Wonderbolts, and her teammates have noticed. They aren't the only ones, and finally Spitfire's had enough of it so she sends Dash's marefriend to go and see what is the matter.

Contains Twidash shipping, and Spitfire/Rainbow friendship

Amazingly enough for this premise, NOT a Wonderbolts-Bashing fic. Probably the only fic I'll ever write that that touches on the events of "Newbie Dash" and "A Canterlot Wedding Part 1".

(New art property of Jykinturah)

Soarin never really had any competition when it came to Rainbow Dash...not that he needed to, anyway. But when an obnoxious green pegasus flies in with the newest recruit, he decides he doesn't like the two of them together.

Slight spoilers for "Flutter Brutter"

After Chrysalis gets defeated and Shining Armor and Cadance return to normal, Celestia tells Twilight that she has real wedding to put together. But after all they did to her earlier makes this chance to lose her temper and snap at them.

(This is going through one final set of changes to make it better, because I suddenly realized that Celestia did defend her subjects, so she has no need to be arrested.)

*Ok, so I kind of changed Cadence and Shining's relationship from Husband and Wife to Fiancé's. Either way, not much else has changed within the story.*

Twilight Sparkle of the Human World has now been restored to her normal self by the magic of Friendship thanks to Sunset Shimmer, the Rainbooms, and most of all, Spike the talking dog. But what about Abacus Cinch, the one Responsible for Pressuring Twilight into releasing dangerous magic that not only corrupted the young student, but almost destroyed the entire world?

Well don't worry, Dean Cadence will deal with her in a more direct approach. Why? Because Twilight Sparkle is like a little Sister. How will Abacus Cinch react to all of this? You already know the answer so prepare yourselves everyone.

*This story is based on Persuasion Chance 1% by Hydralisk, which got me inspired to create this story.*

*Warning, rated Teen for language use and mild violence.*

*Also, if you like or dislike the story, I would love to know why.*

*Featured in the Dean Cadence, Abacus Cinch, and EqG Spike Sections on 5/20/2017.*

*07/11/2018 Update: Story has just been edited with some capitalization errors finally getting fixed.*

*Finally, there's no 'Anon-a-miss' in this universe. So YAY! *

This story occurs in the aftermath of "No Second Prances."

Be forewarned before reading further that this story contains spoilers for that episode.

After Trixie's magic show, Twilight seemed satisfied with the results of her endeavors. Starlight had a new friend, Trixie was no longer a solo show, everything was going well... right?

When Celestia hears how Twilight handled things, she has some choice words for her former student.

Special thanks to CoffeeMinion for his editing prowess, and for helping me to prevent the story from going even further down the dark hole I had found.

This story is a sequel to Triggered

Sunburst might be a grown stallion, but that doesn't keep an overprotective sister like Sunset Shimmer from smacking a filly.

Every pegasus in Cloudsdale dreams of becoming a Wonderbolt, colts and fillies alike. All parents reinforce it, saying, "Wonderbolts study hard, Wonderbolts practice every day, Wonderbolts look both ways before crossing the runway." The most dedicated and brightest ponies make it eventually.

But they don't tell the reserves about the traditions the main team holds near and dear.

Nor do the reserves tell the main team of their previous experience with certain nicknames.

Spitfire remembered when Rainbow Dash had told her the story of her old nickname, "Crash," and how it effected her performance in Ponyville as a result. So now she goes to see why another up-and-coming reserve member threw out his badge on his first day.
