(2013) The Adventures of Papercut and Company

It was a typical day in Ponyville. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and Papercut was wreaking havoc.

A pink blur shot across the bright blue sky, ruining the way Rainbowdash had set up the clouds."Hey," The annoyed cyan pegasus shouted.

" Watch where you're going! I just cleared those clouds!"

Not seeming to notice the ruckus behind her, the pink mare shot across the sky, gleefully crashing into trees as she went. She suddenly angled her wings in an awkward skyward-diagonal angle, causing her to halt mid-flight, thus plummeting to the ground. She landed right on top of the ever narcissistic Diamond Tiara,

"M-my mane! You ruined my mane! What's your problem, you low-class filly?!"

When Diamond Tiara looked up and saw who had caused this "problem," her mood went from bad to worse.

"Oh, it's YOU." The spoiled filly scoffed. "Get your filthy hide off of me, Papercut! I don't want my pretty clean coat to be stained by your unclean coat!"

Papercut lifted herself off the filly. "Oops! Didn't see you there DT."

Diamond Tiara's scowl deepened, and she brushed off her fur.

"It doesn't matter now. You've already- HEY! I'm talking to you!

Papercut had seen her own tail, and rushed off in pursuit of it before the filly could finish her sentence. Soon after, Papercut heard a familiar voice call to her.

"Hey, Papercut!"

The startled pegasus about-faced, only to see Ponyville's local dentist, Colgate, waving at her.

" Papercut, you missed your appointment yesterday," the blue unicorn sighed.

"I did?" Papercut was confused.

"Yes! Remember the Ten O'clock appointment you requested a week ago?"

"Oh, yeah! That appointment. Oops. Sorry!"

Colgate sighed. "Try to remember next time, okay?"

"Alright!" Papercut replied cheerfully. And with that, she flew off in hot pursuit of her tail (after spending twenty minutes trying to remember what she was doing).

Later that evening, Papercut plopped down on the couch with a piece of burnt toast, and watched TV. (and when I say she watched TV, I mean that she sat down and stared at the wall for four hours) She soon got bored of this practice and decided to go take a walk in the Everfree Forest.

"La, la, la! 'Walkin in the WOOOOOODS!" Papercut sang (or should I say, screeched in an off-key sounding tone).

Suddenly, the joyful mare tripped and fell flat on her face.

Papercut grunted then sat up. as she did, she caught sight of an extraordinarily shiny red stone. There was something off about the stone, it seemed. As if it were penetrating her very soul. Papercut squealed with delight.

"Yay! A shiny thing!"

She snatched the stone up and stared deep into its crystalline features. Soon, Papercut began to feel numb. Her vision became blurry, and she wobbled from side to side.

Then she collapsed.
