The long flight has bored Rainbow Dash to tears, but she has no desire to play cards with Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle and Lemon Drop. Only with an enticing story can she hope to survive the long trip to Cowlick Station intact, and Pinkie has just the story.

Long ago, in the seedy underground of Coruscant's bustling cityscape, Pinkie Pie won a championship card game with a prize pool of millions of credits. When some greedy, vengeful thugs try to relieve her of the winnings, she flees into the heart of the city. Exhausted and on the run, with no weapons to fight back with, she attempts to turn to the only ponies in the world that can help her: mercenaries. Thieves, lowlifes and slum dwellers with the instinct and cunning to escape the undercity intact. Ponies with the street smarts needed to survive and the tools needed to thrive.

But as luck would have it, she finds Lemon Drop instead...

Jedi Padawan Lyra Heartstrings has been with the Jedi Order for a long time. Away from Equestria. Away from home. She cannot go back. Not because the Order is preventing her, but because her home is an undiscovered planet. There are no records of its existence, and the Republic and the Order are clueless of its whereabouts. She’s alone.

But after years of solidarity, the Force gives her a golden opportunity. One that would unravel the mystery missing homeland. She’ll have to traverse through a war-torn galaxy to reach her goal, but anything is worth the risk when her deepest desire is at stake. A chance to find Equestria. Her home.

While cleaning up after a particularly hectic Cutie Mark Crusader sleepover, Rarity and Apple Jack stumble across a couple of toy lightsabers. Havoc ensues.

The planet of Chikyu is pretty odd, from an outsider perspective. There are anthromorphic sapients of every stripe and sort, the world president is a dog, its greatest warriors are alien monkeys, the average IQ (outside genius scientists or children) is somewhere below 50, and magic orbs raise the dead. How much difference would adding a pony that barely talks really make?
...quite a lot, apparently. Just ask Mr. Popo...if you dare.

Falling into a volcano trying to impress people isn't very fun, and while it was quite hot for a very long time, eventually I actually started to feel a tad chilly, after a while though I blacked out, and woke up in a burning field, as a horse no less.

This story is a sequel to The Apple Falls Far from the Tree

(While this story is a direct continuation of an existing plotline, it has been written to be accessible all on its own. You do not need to have read the previous works to understand and enjoy what's here.)

Recently returned from the world of Everglow, Lex Legis, a brusque but brilliant unicorn, has finally achieved his dream...after a fashion. Convinced that he can govern Equestria better than the alicorn princesses, he and his new girlfriend, Sonata Dusk, have negotiated for rulership of the distant city of Vanhoover, devastated in the wake of the elemental chaos that has rocked Equestria.

But Vanhoover's problems go far beyond simple disaster-relief, and the pair soon come to learn that maintaining their dreams might be even more difficult – and more dangerous – than achieving them ever was.
