For all her life, Pinkie Pie was certainly different from other ponies. She could do things that almost nopony else could, almost... cartoon-y shenanigans.

But today, on the day of Tirek's invasion, the rest of her friends were about to discover exactly WHY she was so different.

Canterlot High School is having a talent show, and the Rainbooms are eager to join in. However, things get complicated when the human world version of Sunset Shimmer suddenly makes an appearance. After much confusion and several mix-ups, she finally meets her counterpart and her friends. Unlike her counterpart, however, she's shy and reserved. The girls try to befriend her, but this Sunset doesn't seem to be too interested in friendship. She is, however, very interested in the rumors of magic surrounding Canterlot High, and seems to be hiding something magic related herself. And when magical mishaps begin to occur, the Equestria Girls begin to suspect that this new Sunset may be behind them. Is it possible that she's evil and power hungry the way her counterpart once was, or is there something else at work?
STORY COMPLETE

The Pinkie Pie clones are gone. They have all been zapped back to the Mirror Pond. All, except one.

This particular clone knew that if she stayed around Ponyville, she would be spotted, and end up just like all the other clones. And she didn't want that. So what else is there to do? Escape Ponyville, and to where? Manehatten. Meanwhile, a certain blue unicorn mare is busy trying to make herself look better while ultimately failing. Surprises will await them both.

A short story in which You helps Twilight lose her ever-grammatical mind.

*****
Massive thanks to Level Dasher for stepping in and proofreading/editing! He pointed out a ton of little (and not-so-little) details that I missed, and I feel his efforts really put a coat of polish on the story.

Does the Pinkie Pie on the left look like an unfeeling automaton? A magical construct with no capacity for thought or action beyond a simple phrase, like 'FUN'? Well, only the latter's incorrect.

She thought it was all over when her resolve broke and she was flashed back to the mirror pool. Emerging from it for the second time in a lifetime, the first Pinkie Pie clone only knows one thing; she's alive and well, unlike every single one of her reflections. Is she just a lucky reflection? A copy?

In the middle of the Everfree, confused, forlorn, and lost; where will she go, what in Equestria will she do?

And why are these six ponies, including the pony she herself is a reflection of, trying so hard to find her? They were saying something about "splitting the Element of Laughter" . . .

Can't let them catch me. No matter what it takes.

Imperaxum's entry to The Most Dangerous Game contest. Will be submitted when complete, and must be completed before June 27th.

What if one day you woke up suddenly drowning? The only saving grace you had was a multitude of pink limbs pulling you out and the next thing you knew you’re surrounded by dozens of Pinkie clones... and that you were one of them.

A thousand years ago, our Goddess fought Nightmare Moon. When the Elements were activated, they banished all of Equestria underground, where we would be safe. I am a Prophet, All-Seer of the Church of Daylight. And our Goddess has granted me a vision that our efforts to reach the surface will finally bear fruit.

I can only hope Equestria's still up there.

This story is the sister story to Lover of the Moon, but both can be read independently of the other.

This story is a sequel to My Family and Other Equestrians

Bones has been living with Applejack on Sweet Apple Acres for a few years now. His family have each found their own path and they have all settled down into their new lives in Equestria. Of course, while that may mean a pleasant, quiet life most of the time, with magically controlled weather, a steady job farming, and plenty of opportunity to expand his own knowledge of magic, it isn't without its pitfalls. Follow Bones through life's ups and downs, learning new magic spells, meeting new friends, and occasionally getting quite close to cropping up in the show, as he discovers magic of all kinds on Sweet Apple Acres.

When a Goddess gets bored of being alone, she moves to a rock farm to start a new life

It’s winter break, and all the students at the School of Friendship have gone home for the holidays to have some fun. Well, almost. But a few stragglers won't stop the professors from starting their break, and after months of teaching, they finally get to have some fun, too. And what better way than a good old-fashioned snowball fight?

But beware: some combatants may be a bit more… intense, than others.

And it may not be who you expect.

A story written for Shortmane as part of Jinglemas 2019.
