Main Course is a successful chef and restaurant owner. Or he was, anyway, until a fire tore up his life's work and left him adrift. When he visits his sister in the rural backwater town of Ponyville, he discovers an abandoned building that's perfect for a quick fix-up so he can flip it for a profit. But the building comes with an unforeseen tenant, and when he lets her stick around he discovers that maybe, just maybe, there's something out there more important than wealth and fame.

The night before Babs Seed returns to Manehattan, Apple Bloom asks to talk.

About everything.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders would do just about anything to earn their cutie marks. Much to their surprise, one of their schemes actually works, but not as expected. Before long, it's apparent that what seemed like a good thing has gone horribly wrong, and it's up to Twilight to try and fix things.

This story takes place prior to the end of Season Three.

When the Cutie Mark Crusaders work to help Fluttershy when her tail gets caught on their wagon, they discover there is a whole lot more to Fluttershy's tail than what meets the eye...

"We have to be brave now, Scootaloo," Dash said. "Just close your eyes, and it'll be all over by the time you open them again."

After losing out on first chair cellist in the Manehattan Philharmonic Orchestra to her biggest rival, Octavia tries to console herself with a healthy bout of moping and a strong drink. One drink soon becomes several, though, and her evening of debauchery leads to a long night of frenzied, sordid passion with her best friend Vinyl Scratch. It isn't until she wakes up in the morning with Vinyl's legs wrapped around her that Octavia remembers two very important things: one, she's straight. And two, if the infamously strict conductor of the Philharmonic finds out how unrefined Octavia's social life has become, she could lose her one and only chance at the only dream she's ever had in her life.

This could get a little bit complicated.

Celestia is a wise ruler and a great teacher. Her methods, however, can be a little unorthodox.

Twilight Sparkle is any teacher's dream student, but she really doesn't like bees.
