Twilight almost missed out on the chance to have friends. So when she finds a spell in an an ancient tome that promises to tell her when she will meet her true love, she decides to get a head start on things and prepare for the fated hour.

Too bad her true love seems to be taking their sweet time showing up.

There is now a Spanish translation of this story, courtesy of Spaniard Kiwi

When Trixie finds a magic mane pin that will make everypony love and adore her, she decides to use it to get revenge on the residents of Ponyville, one group in particular. But there are some things about friendship that she never expected...

This story replaces "Magic Duel" chronologically.

Approved for The Goodfics Bin!

Pinkie Pie frequently does ridiculous, dangerous, and frankly foalish things. Nopony's quite sure how she gets away with them, but she always seems to emerge with nothing more than a faint craving for cake.

Ponyville's resident sarsaparilla brewer, Sassaflash, knows Pinkie alternately as "a valued customer", and "that crazy pink mare that lives in a bucking gingerbread house", and certainly has no wish to be dragged into her antics, "valued customer" or not. That said, when a pony can hide any given object about their person, who wouldn't be just a tiny bit (fatally) curious?

It should also be noted that there doesn't seem to be any way out of... "There"... from the inside. Somepony should look into installing a door or something.

Poor Sassaflash, she needs more art love; just look at how sad she looks...

Everyone has their reasons.

So what could possibly make a pony act like Blueblood did at the Gala?

Every chapter will explore a new explanation for just what was going on that night.

A friend advised me to write something, so I sat down and typed up this. I had fun, anyway, and hopefully at least one of you will, too.

A monster threatens to destroy Ponyville, again. More importantly, it wrecks havoc with a certain clockmaker's schedule. Quite infuriating, that.

EDIT - KwirkyJ has recorded an audiobook version! I think he did quite well, considering the source material.

This could be the story of any small boy and his friends. But it just so happens, that this is the story of the friends of one particular small boy: Christopher Robin.

And the happy pink pony who blusters into the Hundred Acre Woods one particularly windsome Windesday.

Join Tigger, Eeyore, Winnie the Pooh, and the rest of the inhabitants of the Hundred Acre Wood as they meet new friends and explore a new, colorful land called Equestria, and help their new friend get home.

If they can ever find it, that is. Not that they're in any great hurry.

Prince Blueblood is an insufferable jerk and pampered to the point that he can't tell how much he's missing with Rarity.

Isn't he?

Princess Celestia has called him to her study for a discussion about his behavior. Now he must answer for all his mistreatment of the mare.

Being the ever-helpful assistant that he is, Spike has made reservations at the Far-Afield Tavern for himself and his friends. Unbeknownst to him, however, fate had other ideas. So while Rarity is busy turning her hotel room into a sweatshop, Spike is sitting around in the tavern wondering where everypony is.

It eventually gets to the point when the restaurant cannot hold onto his reservations anymore. But just when he's about to head back to the hotel and write this off as a crummy day, he receives an invitation to join some famous ponies for dinner. Even more bizarre, the pony extending this invitation is someone he hasn't spoken to in ages (in fact, they barely talked at all). Normally, he'd be skeptical about this, but after a long day of hauling luggage and chasing birds, he figures it's best not to look this gift horse in the mouth. After all, business partners can be friends too, right? Right.

Dr. Lemuel Gulliver's trip to the land of the Houyhnhms should have be his last voyage anywhere further than the nearest pub.
Fate had other plans, and now he is in a race against time to find a cure for the strange malady he picked up in his last voyage.

"...My family had insisted my first, and now it would seem only, visit to that land of fair and graceful people who lived in eternal harmony was to be my last trip ever away from home.

"So I had once sworn to my wife, Elanore, my son, Alexander, and my daughter, Elisabeth. Never more would I roam, nor seek out the perfect people, perfect despite the fact they walk on four hooves...
The land of the Houyhnhms."

"Fate had other plans for my vow, yet still held me to it in a strange way none could anticipate...."

From the personal diary of Princess Twilight Sparkle:

Pinkie seemed unusually sad after Maud left the other day. I mean, it made sense, since she wasn't going to see her sister for a while, but somehow it felt...darker than that. Like there was more to her feelings than just missing her sibling.

I asked her what was wrong, and she just said she'd been thinking about some sad stuff that seeing Maud had reminded her of. She didn't expand at all, but I told her that when I feel sad, I sometimes like to write poetry about what's making me feel that way. She said that sounded like fun, and that she was going to give it a try.

Today, she asked me to read her poem and see what I thought. I told her I would.

I wish I hadn't.
