Starlight and Trixie enjoy spending time with one another, and often they will just spend entire afternoons having pleasant conversations together. One such afternoon brings just such a talk, as the two mares decide to finally settle, once and for all, the ultimate question. Who was really Twilight's arch-enemy?

We all hope that nothing but good will come our way, but all of us know this won't always be true. For Twilight, today is, sadly, such a day, as news reaches her ears of something terrible happening to somepony in Ponyville.

Shortly after her and her friends' victory over the smog-spewing dragon that threatened Ponyville, Rainbow Dash arrives at the Golden Oak to show off some new Wonderbolt Memorabilia she got recently. But when asked where she got the money for it, that leads to a somewhat lengthy chat with her friends.

Scootaloo hates Father's Day. Always has, always will. When she has to make a Father's Day card in school she plans to burn it. But a certain older sister may have other plans...

A little slice of life father's day one shot. Written in 1hr 15 mins for Koren's Father's Day speedwriting contest (update: won 2nd place!). After a little editing (with thanks to LibertyDude, Koren, Vis-a-Viscera and Rainsilient for notes), the finished fic is ready!

Today is the best day of Twilight's life, for she has just succeeded in her dream of getting into Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. But along with her new status as a student of Celestia, there's also the matter of the unexpected surprise that accompanied her entry exam. A surprise she must now introduce to her family.

As a member of a royal family, it was always expected that Flurry Heart would come into a leadership role at some point in her life. But nopony could ever have expected it would be while she was still at a young age, as is the case when her parents are away on official business one day. And so begins the glorious reign of Flurry, apparently.

It is Heartswarming Eve, and filly Twilight Sparkle wants to stay at the empty castle with Princess Celestia, refusing to go home with her parents even after the monarch has sent all the staff back to their families. But why?

Twilight's answer leaves Celestia contemplating all the ways that make the lavender unicorn so special.

This story is a sequel to Continue?

After learning the shocking secret that a highly helpful "Continue Screen" exists beyond death, Twilight Sparkle is even more surprised to discover it comes with the ability to relive and explore her past adventures.

It even comes with an added difficulty option. But is Twilight Sparkle truly ready for her life's greatest battles on Hard Mode?

Twilight Sparkle has fulfilled her destiny and become the sole ruler of Equestria.

Unfortunately, at her first council meeting, she learns a terrible truth.

Equestria is a bit of a mess.

At least on paper, Scootaloo becoming a teacher sounds like the most natural fit in the world. Becoming a teacher at the prestigious School of Friendship seems even more natural, considering her past with helping others. Yet on the morning of her first day on the job, she suffers a crisis of confidence. Will her history of altruism help her in the present?

My submission for the WriteOff round titled, "Crossing Over."
