Applejack and Peppermill walk home from Ponyville every day. But today there is something different about him...

Mr Merritt Sez: Just a little something that I had to get off of my mind. At least I think it's funny...

When you've spent your formidable years in a restaurant, you can't help but compare it to every other place. When Peppermill becomes angered over the events at Ponyville's premier eatery, he begins to wonder iif what he learned at his father's side is really the way the world works.

Mr Merritt Sez: Angry/Sad Peppermill (and even more charatcer development)....ho!!!

Every twenty years Pygg Iron, Equestria's premier metalworker makes a select amount of cast iron pans. They are considered the holy grail of Equestrian cooking, and only the very best chefs can wield one. When Peppermill learns that Ponyville will have the opportunity to sell just six, he goes on a crusade to earn the money to get one. But his firm beilef of not taking money for cooking could make it difficult...

Mr Merritt sez: expect smaller chapters for this one as I use my infamous (just write on the computer until it looks/feels right method of writing.

A abandoned cart becomes the ultimate mobile clubhouse for Peppermill, Pipsqueak, Rumble, Featherweight, Snips and Snails. But overprotective Applebloom considers it a death trap for her beloved little brother. In order to prove her point the filly sabotages the 'maiden voyage'.

But in doing so she gets her self and the boys dragged into a mysterious forest, complete with fast growing trees and a serious head injury for herself. It is up to the colts to band together to survive the elements until rescue arrives. But not before some adolescent crushes come to light and some simmering rivalries (of both the sibling and friendship variety) boils over.

Mr. Merritt Sez: Quite possibly the biggest story project I have ever attempted. Full of character development a la Mr. M!

Ponies, as a rule, don't deal with blood very well. But when you have been raised on a farm and/or in a kitchen it is something you need to deal with.

When Peppermill accidentally wounds himself, and tried to hide it from Applejack what could have been a crisis turns into a bit of understanding for both of them.

Mr Merritt sez: just a story idea I needed to finally get onto electronic paper. Not intended to be a prize-winning bit of literature.

A hoof-full of bad experiences in his past life have left Peppermill with some less than stellar opinions about musicians. So what is a colt to do when he is dragged into the middle a mad plan by Rainbow Dash to wine and dine two of the top entertainers in the magical land of Equestria?

Will Peppermill be able to face the music?

Since foalhood, Big Macintosh has wanted to take part in the Ponyville Nightmare Night Costume Contest. Peppermill has wanted nothing more than to put on a legitimate Nightmare Night costume. When the two Apple boys put their minds together, can they succeed?

It all started with a glass of wine...

Applebloom becomes obsessed with how her little brother is capable of eating such exotic, high-class cuisine and she can't. It leads to self-doubt about her ability to be a big sister to Peppermill. But when the chef realizes just how similar he and Applebloom are when it comes to succeeding, it leads to revelations and a incredible bond forming between the two.

Mr Merritt Sez: Finally, I managed to break through my Writer's Block. And I even got to further develop the relationship between Peppermill and Applebloom in the process. Yes, it's a bit sappy at the end but I like it.

Peppermill used to get his mane cut by one of his late mother's stylist friends. But now he is in Ponyville, he gets to go to a 'proper' barber. But does this barber really know what he is doing? Not according to Big Mac...
