Hey Everybody! So, this is one of my first stories, and I would love critique!
Disclamer:I don't own 'My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.'

Twilight Sparkle
With a flourish, Twilight shut the book in front of her, "Finished, Spike! Spike?" She looked around, and found him sleeping. "Oh Spike!" she yawned, "That's a good idea but," she yawned again, "We have so much to do." She yawned a third time, "And we might just have to add 'nap' to our checklist."
Blearily, she glanced down at the title, "Simply Simple: Simplifying Spells for the young unicorn" she said aloud.
"Ha! Say that five times," came a muffled voice from Spike's bed, "Now let me sleep!"
"Spike! We have errands to run today!" Twilight said.
At that moment, a sharp knock resounded on the door. "I wonder who that could be?" Twilight asked nobody in particular.
The door swung open, and a very familiar dark blue alicorn stepped in. "Luna! What brings you here?"
"Just to see my loyal subjects, and why doesth though look so tired?"
"Oh, I've just been studying. Would you like to come in?"
"So much for the check list!" Spike called, still trying to sleep.
"Spike! Get out of bed. As you know already we have a guest!"
"Whatever." Spike rolled over.
Twilight looked at Luna, "They grow up so fast." she sighed.

Pinkie Pie
Humming under her breath, Pinkie Pie began to make cupcakes. "Cup of sugar, add it to the mix!" She tossed some sugar into a light blue polka-dotted bowl. "Sweet not sour!" She glanced over a lemon and a bag of Skittles. After pondering this for a moment, she tossed in the bag of Skittles. "A bit of salt, just a pinch,"
She glanced at the window, noticing the lightening day. Quickly, she shoved the cupcakes in the oven, and ran outside, running straight into Mrs. Cake, who immediately sighed, "What is it this time, Pinkie?"
"Well! You know how on Nightmare Night you get free candy?" she didn't wait for a response, "I figured, I could go around on every day and get MORE candy!!!So that's what I'm doing!"
She squawked like a chicken and ran out the door.
First door. Knock. Knock. Knock. No answer.
Second door. Knock. The door opened!
"Nightmare Night, What a Fright! Give me something- Bwawk- good tonight!"
"Wha-?"
Bam! The door shut and Pinkie was left alone, candyless. It started to snow.
After a couple more doors with no profits, Pinkie was left feeling heartless, and cold. She began to trudge to Sugarcube Corner, until an acrid smell began to fill her nostrils. Her pace quickened to a trot, until she arrived at sugarcube corner, which was steadily billowing black smoke.
Oh no! The cupcakes!

Rainbow Dash
Knock! Rap! Knock! "Wha?" Whoever that was knocking must have good reason. Rainbow had just been woken up from her nap.
She opened the door. It was Ditzy, the mailmare. She scanned her hoof, and took the letter. It was a deep blue, with elegant gold print.
Dear Rainbow Dash,
We have taken an interest in your flight skills as a young filly. We would like invite you to the Annual Wonderbolt Flight Auditions! You have been hand selected as the pick of the litter! The auditions will on Friday November Ninth. Their will be 159 competitors.
Sincerely,
Rainbowdash's jaw dropped. The Wonderbolts! She could do it, just like she always did. Just like the Rainboom and the Mushroom Cloud. She would need about two for the day. Trotting over to the refrigerator, she grasped the handle with her teeth and swung it open.
It. was. empty.

Applejack
The sun was just peaking over the horizon, and the entire Apple family was over for applebucking. Except for Applebloom.
"Applebloom! Where are you going?" Applejack called to her sister.
"Well, sis, you see, the Cutie Mark Crusaders wanted to go cliff-jumping, and I just can't let them down!"
"Cliff-jumping?"
"Yeah! IT's this cool thing that Scootaloo told me about, she said, it's where ponies jump off cliffs and land in the water!"
"They jump off cliffs?"
"Oh yeah, sis! Cutie Mark Crusader Cliff Jumpers! Doesn't that have nice ring to it?"
"Nopony is jumping off cliffs when I am around!" Applejack stared her sister in the eye, "Especially you. You'd be dead in a second. Is Sweetie belle coming?"
"Rarity wouldn't let her." Applebloom said glumly.
"And what makes you think I would let you?"
Appleblooom walked away, sulking, "I guess I'll start applebucking."
Applejack sighed and began to start applebucking.
Approximately three hours later, AppleTart rang the bell for lunch, "Soup's on!" AJ headed over to lunch looking for Applebloom. Scanning the crowd for a long time, she began to realize something; Applebloom wasn't their.
