Goldenrod has a pretty great life. A loving boyfriend, a decent home, a job that she loves and a class full of bright young fillies and colts who love her very much. But when one of her best students starts acting out in class, she tries to do everything in her power to help her. Will it be enough?

Based on characters created by TheFlimFlamBros and inspired by the AU created by Leviarex.

You are a unicorn stallion, who wakes up to find that you fell asleep while on the Friendship Express and have missed your stop in Ponyville. Now you have to wait until you reach the next stop in the Crystal Empire in order to return home.

Fortunately across from you is another traveler, who might be a little odd but is still willing to accompany you on your journey. She is a chimera pony hybrid by the name of Amble Barb.

I kind of wanted to experiment around with the second person perspective, while also trying to write some more Monster Mare stories. Please feel free to look into the Monster Mares Group for more stories.

If you liked this story and would like to see me write more in a similar format, then please comment and let me know.

Toola Roola is a special pony, just like everypony else. She's learned that fighting with your friends doesn't mean you have to stop being friends. It just means you should let them win sometimes, otherwise it looks suspicious.

She didn't learn that from her parents, who have no time for her except by appointment. She didn't learn that from her best friend, who has too much time for her and spends most of it fighting anyway.

And she especially didn't learn that from her ancestral homeland: the distant, enchanted land of Skyra, whence her oddball uncle cometh, but which - in her entire life - she has never, ever seen for herself.

No, she learned it from a book. Princess Twilight Sparkle^TM's Journal of Friendship^TM, only $12.99 at your local tree-made, cloud-made, or conventionally built magical bookshop! Buy your way to a meaningful^TM, satisfying^TM relationship^TM now, while^TM stocks^TM last^TM!^TM

A pair of fillies approach you with a problem. Their favorite book is behaving strangely. What kind of magical shenanigans will you find within its contents?

Twilight woke up to experience another normal day in Equestria. Except she had this weird sense of deja vu and other abnormalities.

And to add onto the abnormalities (even though it was supposed to be another normal day in Equestria, not an abmoneral day), she and her entire reality is now being dictated by the whims of a capricious deity who, for once, isn't Discord.

Chip Cutter is not a popular kid. He just wanders around, looking for new sculpting inspiration. However, when he finds an abandoned artwork on the wall, it quickly leads him to the road to friendship.

He just wishes it wasn’t the scenic route.

When I heard ponies had opened a car wash, I had to stop in and investigate. Under normal circumstances, nobody washes my Mustang but me. Considering these abnormal circumstances, is it time to make an exception?

This story is a sequel to Car Wash

Coconut Cream started working a new job in Philadelphia at Gustave Le Grande's Filly Cheesesteaks, and I just 'volunteered' to drive Toola Roola to Philadelphia to see her best friend. Me and my big mouth.

At least I like cheesesteaks...

A sequel to Car Wash, though this is a stand-alone and it's not necessary to read that story first to enjoy this one.

When Cheerilee announces that she was going to teach them something unexpected, the students are curious about it. When she falls ill and a substitute fills in for her, he believes foals should not be taught such things so he teaches something different, something more academic.

This story is a sequel to Filly Cheesesteaks

In Equestria, it's Nightmare Night. On Earth, it's Halloween. For ponies on Earth, adapting to Halloween wasn't difficult. Costumes, spooky decorations, and candy? They may have a different name for it, but it's celebrated very similarly in both our worlds.

Trunk-or-treating? Okay, that's a new one for the ponies.

Trick-or-treating antics with a trio of rambunctious fillies. And Minty. Expect a corn maze and even cornier jokes. Some of which are actually about corn.

Additional tags: Self-Insert & Trixie

While this is a sequel to Car Wash and Filly Cheesesteaks, it's not necessary to read either of those stories first.
