When he really stopped and thought about it, Gallus was lucky to have a group of friends that admired and appreciated him in the innocent, wholesome way that they did.

Course, that didn’t stop them from admiring and appreciating him in other ways.

Nightmare Moon has just defeated Twilight and she can now achieve eternal night at long last.

Only problem is that a pony challenges her.

A really small Queen.

A prequel to "Look, You're Too Small For Me to Take Seriously"

This story is a sequel to Somepony Tries to Sell Twilight Insurance

Ponies were very surprised when Jackpot Enterprises' managing director, Crystal Jackpot himself, started allowing Ponyville's richest residents to insure their properties with his company - not least because the last thing anypony ever expected was that Jackpot Enterprises would do something enterprising. However, they were even more surprised when a crippling blow was dealt the idea by none other than Princess Twilight Sparkle.
Not only did she not have her castle insured: she also urged every single one of her friends - her rich, powerful friends - not to take insurance out either. Nopony would suggest that Jackpot was a resentful stallion - nopony who didn't want to find himself homeless within the week, anyway - but it was, all the same, surprising for Twilight when just about everypony she knew took out insurance against, er, her.

Ballpoint Smudge has one job. It's not an easy one, but it's one he's determined to do to the best of his ability. The only problem is that as soon as he meets Twilight Sparkle, everything he's ever learned about princesses goes flying out of the window. He was expecting her to be regal, haughty and bossy. Instead she's warm, friendly and welcoming. Perhaps she's genuinely a nice pony? Nah. It's got to be a test.

Based on an idea by Ambrose Bierce, from his excellent Devil's Dictionary. Just look up 'Insurance'.

What’s the perfect gift to get the girl of your dreams? Is it a necklace? A mixtape of her favorite songs? A used pull-out couch that gobbles you up the moment you try and pull it out?

No? It isn’t the couch? Well, too bad, because that’s what Gallus got for Silverstream this Hearth’s Warming.

Nice one, Gallus.

That DOES IT! Spike has had enough. He won't deal with Twilight anymore. Not when she can get so mean and yell so loud. He'll go off somewhere else. Somewhere where he can be alone. Curled beneath a hill, he hears a gentle voice calling.

It's been 20 years that Cozy Glow has been encased in stone. She has had plenty of time to herself to think about the things she's done. Is she going to better herself from them?

...The answer is a big fat NO! Why would she ever wish to redeem herself? She could've had everything and in days it was stripped away from her, stuck permanently rooted in cold, hard stone. And through the last few decades, she's been all by herself, and has been perfectly capable of plotting her gruesome revenge... Luckily for her, she has a good idea of how to get out of this eternal prison, with or without her 'buddies.'

Regardless of how every pony thinks; Cozy Glow is going to come back. And when she does, may Celestia have mercy on your soul.

The summer season was just about over at Stella Lacus adventure summer camp. Amie and her younger brother Wes were eager to return home. Unfortunately for them, their adventures had only just begun.

All at once, the entire summer camp and the mountain it was built upon shifted universes, leaving Earth behind for a far stranger world. In the same moment, every camper, counselor, and staff-member transformed into strange insectoid creatures, with unknown powers and incomprehensible needs.

Instead of returning to nursing school, Amie has a new goal: keep her little brother alive. If only the other campers didn't look at him like food...
