Nothing is without a price, as many discover to their sorrow. Few are those who truly know themselves, and fewer still are those who know which prices are worth bearing—and which hide perils threatening that which they most treasure.

Howdy there.

Name's Applejack, and I like to consider myself a simple mare. I had a job on a rock farm, and before that, I was a simple dress-maker. I ain't bein' humble, but those days, nothin' too out of the ordinary really happened to me.

Then I met Earth Pony. She came out of the blue, but she was the sort of pony who could drag you along on anythin'. Lucky for me, I wanted to go, least at first. After that... well, I'll let you read those parts.

Everyone knows that at some point, they are going to die. Nobody, however, likes to think about it. When we do though, we tend to get a little depressed.

In every wanderer's life there is that day. That day when they get sick of always moving, sick of their friendships withering away, sick of not having a place they can call home. In the life of Cheese Sandwich, this day has come.

Pinkie had been getting many of these anonymous letters and she knew they were all from the same person. They were mostly one or two sentences, very short and brief, mainly idolising her and ending with an Anonymous signed at the bottom. Not to mention that the handwriting was all the same. She was really getting curious on who kept sending her these letters, and even though she kept each and every one of those letters (all one hundred and sixty two) about one hundred times, she still wanted Anon to send more.

Cheese Sandwich had always loved being the traveling party pony he was. He'd been doing it for nearly forty years, but still had the energy and joy in his heart to continue. There was no challenge he couldn't overcome, no party he couldn't throw, and no pony he would disappoint. However, when a new, strange cheesy sense brings him back to Ponyville, he discovers a party he never thought he'd have to plan...

Cheese Sandwich knows there’s no mare more fun-fun-fun than Pinkie Pie, and there’s nothing he’d like more than a Hearts and Hooves Day party at which they’re the only guests. But she’s the super-duper-iest party pony of them all, and everypony in Ponyville is her best friend, and they all seem determined to invite themselves along. What’s a colt to do?

Written for a Hearts and Hooves Day contest on Deviant Art.

Cheese has always loved his friend Pinkie, though in a strange turn of events it seems that Pinkie is the shy one, and she hasn't even noticed his love for her...or so he thought.

Pinkie Pie misses her friend Cheese Sandwich, so she plans to throw a huge party in the hopes his Cheese Sense will pick up on it. Will Cheese Sandwich ever come?

Since Rainbow Dash's birth-a-versary party, Pinkie Pie's been adopting some odd habits--and by odd, I mean odd by even Pinkie Pie standards. Also, she's been playing matchmaker for every single one of her best friends. What could the reason for these occurrences be?
