Maud Pie is a simple pony in a complicated world filled with nearly-impossible-to-understand creatures. Why don't others just say what they mean instead of using all those unnecessary words? Why don't they understand her when she says exactly what she means? If she tries to provide proper context to help them, they get bored. Still, she tries her best to be clear and make herself understood, even in the face of questions whose context is most of her life and the geological history of the world. In those little pauses before she speaks, Maud thinks fast. This is one such question.

So you guys remember how Starlight has a plant as a “Companion”, per se?

Ok... so, what if, like, in one of these, like, moments when Starlight is talking to Phyllis, Fluttershy walks in!

And we know Fluttershy is kind and all, and she did get Rainbow a pet...

Rainbow had Tank, Rarity had Opal, she had Angel, Applejack had Winona, Pinkie had Gummy, (Twilight and Spike's relationship is debatable, considering Owlowiscious and Peewee,) point is that they all had pets to find comfort in when friends were not around or were busy.

So why can’t Starlight have one?

Tell you what! This is my interpretation of the pet and procedures that Starlight would undergo from Fluttershy to find her (debatably) perfect pet match!

One-shot
A small detail for the sake of the story, Starlight had Phyllis for a long while, keep that in mind.
And edits are still pending...

Canterlot’s best kept secret is the Incognito Cart, a food cart that sells all the greasy, deep-fried, spicy, butter-caked foods no posh pony would ever be caught dead eating. As part of the rules, every pony present must remain 100% anonymous.

But in a place where every pony is a Stranger, there might also be something else worth finding here...

Izzy always goes out of her way to show that there is some colour to be found in Bridlewood. However, none of the other unicorns seems to share the same enthusiasm. However, one lonely cold night, Izzy finds something blowing in the wind that gives her hope in something.

Bureaucracy can be boring, especially to a young filly. 

Babysitting can be annoying, particularly to a changeling general.

When unfortunate circumstances force Princess Flurry Heart and Prince Pharynx into each other’s company—on Hearth’s Warming, no less—the two find that even if initial plans fall through, the resulting backup may not be all that bad.

Time waits for no pony, and Rainbow Dash has accepted that with age come limitations. But experience also brings new opportunities, and as head trainer for the Wonderbolts, she’s found new passion in passing her skills on to the next generation of ace fliers.

Then, Fluttersy comes with a request. A sick filly wants to see Dash pull off her signature trick one last time. The odds are stacked against her, but Dash will do whatever it takes. She isn’t about to let anypony down.
