It's Mare's Day in Zephyr Heights, and after having missed out last year Pipp and Zipp are keen to make this year extra special. However, when Alphabittle suddenly shows up Queen Haven is forced to have a rather frank conversation with her daughters about relationships, loss, and starting anew.

An attempt to expand on some of the themes explored in the Tell your Tale short Mare Family, Mare Problems. Inspired partly by this blogpost by Mica.

Note: Cover art is from A New Generation, as I couldn't find a TYT screenshot that fitted the story's themes.

The G5 Movie is not canon.

Izzy Moonbow finally has some friends! Earth Ponies, Hitch and Sunny. What to do with new friends? Lead them to the local pub! Wait, did I say pub? Nooooo, I meant teahouse! Yes, teahouse!

Potential triggers: Underaged drinking

Alphabittle met an earth pony once. Eccentric, a fellow avid collector, and who had the insane dream of all races getting along.

He never thought that last thing would ever come true, less that it would happen thanks to his daughter.

This story is a crossover, and it features the House Robots from the late 90’s and early 00’s British TV show, Robot Wars.

This is a small G5 anthology series in which the robots visit Alphabittle’s Crystal tea room in Bridlewood, either to chat with others or something else.

The stories will feature small descriptions at the top, showcasing a video of the house robots in the current story, and my desired voice actors for them, most of which are the Cast members from another more recent BBC show, The Goes Wrong Show. It’s a really funny show I would really recommend!

In the midst of Opaline's massive Cutie Mark theft, she is confronted by a stallion. A very familiar stallion, who isn't happy about her treatment of Misty.

A quick story I wrote that I think could've been a scene in Make Your Mark, but wasn't shown.

It’s spring! Flowers bloom, ponies get excited for the spring related activities. Leaving behind the winter ones. But in the Crystal Tearoom. Onyx’s friend and duo partner, Dapple, is not quite feeling well at the moment. So she decides to be the one to take care of him.

(Finally another story about these two interesting characters on this site)

(Other tag is due to Comet not yet having his own character tag.)

Comet doesn't regret the decision to leave his village and accompany his new friends back to Maretime Bay. But a part of him still misses his old home all the same.

Naturally, there's only one thing for Comet do in a situation like this: Talk to his friends. More specifically, his fellow unicorns Izzy and Misty, hoping that they might be able to help him.

Izzy and Misty, though not the most experienced at giving pep talks, are more than eager to share some of their life experiences with Comet. And together, they'll help him see that home is more than just where you come from.

Alphabittle's life gets flighty when a pegasus Queen steps in and disrupts every aspect of his life. But who is he kidding? He's not mad about it one bit. In fact, he's very interested in Haven, but has ... not a lot of romantic experience, even if he felt like a romantic at heart.

Never has he met someone quite like her, she sets his soul on fire, and makes him sing "Vita Bella". His age of romance was found in music, artists like Nat King Colt, Ella Fillygerald, Clip Damone, and so many others. The actors of Ponywood had romance down. Maybe that was something Haven liked? Swept off her hooves like the old Ponywood romance flicks, offered sweet, loving romance like in the songs.

No time like the present to find out, right?
