Late one night, several months after the events of the Fall Formal, Sunset calls Rarity at a frankly unreasonable hour. Things go from there.

(This was originally a standalone one-off thing. The list of sequels is starting to get lengthy, so I decided to compile them all together as one thing for neatness's sake.)

They’d planned it out together. The perfect senior skip day. The amusement park, the rides, the shows, the bonding, and the massive afterparty at Pinkie Pie’s house. With dancing, games, friends from all over CHS, and lots and lots of alcohol. 

Only sometimes drinking makes you do stupid things. Like one of your best friends. Now Sunset and Rainbow have to piece that night back together, figure out their feelings, and clean up after a hoard of drunken teens. All while dealing with the hangover.

A huge huge thanks to my partner EquineWhoDoesStuff who both edited for this fic and graciously did this cover art for me after I tried and got aggro about hands. Go read their stuff! Sparkle and Sun are both amazing, lovely fics that do a great job exploring trans identity.

The narcotics tag is only for alcohol and the sex tag is only for mentions of past intimacy. No actual smut in this one. Hope you all enjoy!

Hiya! Uh, I guess I should introduce myself? My name is Skyfire and I’m a kirin! Yeah, I have blue skin and my scales are an even darker blue and my mane and tail are a shade of lavender! Or uh, it might be more of an orchid? My horn is just a single jut from my forehead though and my eyes are a reddish shade of orange I’d say!

So uh, yeah! That’s me! Skyfire the kirin! I’m uh, I'm not very good at social interaction. You see, earlier, when we kirin couldn’t talk, this was never much of a problem! I’d have nothing to say, but that’s fine too because I have no way to say it! Now that everypony in the village is talking again, I mostly keep to myself. Yeah, I’ll go to the movies or a restaurant all alone and just enjoy my own company. Uh, that’s the other problem I have. I enjoy my own company so much that I’m honestly not sure I care for anypony else?

And then, I saw her… Do you believe in love at first sight? Because I sure don’t! Well, at least I didn’t think I did? But well…

To find out more about the evil pony they were warned about, Izzy and Sunny seek out the legendary Princess Twilight Sparkle herself for answers. More specifically, how to find the evil pony and win her over to the side of good with the power of friendship.

They quickly realise that, contrary to what Twilight wrote in her Friendship Journals and what was depicted in Sunny’s favourite cartoon growing up, ‘Guardians of Harmony: The Power of Friendship’, some of Twilight’s foes that eventually became friends didn’t do so of their own accord.

There is a secret hidden spring on Sweet Apple Acres, and Rarity is happy to take full advantage of this for a little rest and relaxation.

But her friend Applejack has been under a lot of stress recently. It’s a shame she doesn’t know how to help...

Written as a bit of an experiment/self-challenge; I enjoy writing dialogue, so this story (as may have been inferred from the title) doesn’t have any.

Written for the Spring Fling Contest.

Why is the sky blue? How are gemstones formed? Why are there so many different types of apple? How can we tell what is underground without digging? Can friendship help wild animals? How can a lake explode?

It's not a particularly revolutionary world or concept but I felt it was excellent practice to try a new style of writing.

What's it about? Why, dear reader, how forward of you.

So, I got blasted by some mages in my world, and now I'm in a completely new one. I'm something called a 'kirin', and I've lost my opposable thumbs. Surprisingly, it wasn't a polymorph spell either! My magic has gone completely wack. I burned down a forest. And apparently I'm the first ever Kirin to have alicorn magic, which sounds awesome right? Well, not when you're constantly combusting into flames! I never wanted this! And for some reason these ponies keep treating me so nicely. Even after I keep screwing everything up. How hard is it to act like normal for once in my life?

What? There's nothing wrong with me! Please don't send me back...

Contest entry for the Arboreal Yearnings contest!

She remembers the swift wind and the rolling grasses and the thundering hooves on the plain, her ancestry, her birthright, her heritage... all gone.

The demons descended and enslaved her race, warped them and thwarted what she could become. She wanders now with ancient memories, the aftertaste of metal in her mouth and a skin-crawling itch where the saddle once rested on her back.

...Is that another herd in the distance?
