My name is Matthew Rock. When things took a turn for the worst and my degrees couldn't get me the job of high-class chef back home, I made the free dimensional leap to Equestria looking for better chances.

Fat lot of good that did me. I'm now stuck at the lower end of the restaurants, a re-vamped donut shop trying to act like the big leagues. The place is a dump as far as I'm concerned, but I guess I need the experience if I'm ever gonna get the attention or save enough money to make it big myself or open my own restaurant sometime.

Gotta spend a little time in hell before moving on up.

Rated Teen for language and some suggestive content. Comedy tag is there for some comedy and jokes, but otherwise it's a dramedy.

Why'd they take Donut Joe out of the character tags?

Rarity was a little filly when she was inspired by a lone designer to become who we know her as today, but after years of admiring him, she is pained greatly by his judgement.

Stella Vera is a crystal pony with a love for fashion. She's going to travel to Ponyville to have an expert opinion about her designs, and she's also planning to go to Canterlot. But when her reviews are negative, she visits an old friend to create the perfect dress. Can she wow Hoity Toity and be noticed throughout the fashion community?

During spring break, Sweetie Belle gets the opportunity to go to Manehattan with Rarity while she works with fashion guru Hoity Toity. At the same time, Silver Spoon is with her uncle who just happens to Hoity Toity! Forced to be with each other for the whole week, the fillies realize that they have a lot in common.

Note: *This is NOT a SilverBelle shipping story. While I respect other bronies shippings, I rather keep the two as friends and only friends.*

Vinyl Scratch has been homeless for a few months and has finally obtained a fake ID. In a city built for the vices of those twenty one and older this could possibly be her way out of the unforgiving streets and constantly empty belly that she has been used to. The only problem is she has to remain not only undetected, but also resist being swallowed up by the many vices that live in such a place. Only two questions really remain for Vinyl Scratch: Will her plan Fly? Or will she cash out like so many others have before?

Ah, Nightmare Night. A holiday where happy little foals get to dress up as pirates and witches and whatever else tickles their fancy while roaming around getting delectable candies. The kids have fun, the adults think it's cute.

Yet under the giggles and playful cries... there are screams. The stories told to amuse the kids aren't all made up, the monsters they pretend to be don't live only in the imagination, and not everyone is out for the same kind of 'fun.' Dark things creep in Equestria's unnoticed corners, and Nightmare Night is their time to play. Tonight we shall watch them at their games. These are the tales of Nightmare Night that parents don't share with their children.

A big thanks goes to Cerulean Voice for taking time out of his busy schedule to edit Wonderful, Aurora and Sweet to Eat, and to RainbowBob for pre-reading.

A huge and happy 'thank you' also to Kvernikovskiy, originator of Researcher Twilight, for the commissioned cover art.

Sweet to Eat: Tales of Nightmare Night

Nightmare Moon's banishment is coming to a close. After centuries she will be allowed to leave. She eagerly awaits the four stars destined to free her. When they arrive, she is in for a surprise.

Being the ever-helpful assistant that he is, Spike has made reservations at the Far-Afield Tavern for himself and his friends. Unbeknownst to him, however, fate had other ideas. So while Rarity is busy turning her hotel room into a sweatshop, Spike is sitting around in the tavern wondering where everypony is.

It eventually gets to the point when the restaurant cannot hold onto his reservations anymore. But just when he's about to head back to the hotel and write this off as a crummy day, he receives an invitation to join some famous ponies for dinner. Even more bizarre, the pony extending this invitation is someone he hasn't spoken to in ages (in fact, they barely talked at all). Normally, he'd be skeptical about this, but after a long day of hauling luggage and chasing birds, he figures it's best not to look this gift horse in the mouth. After all, business partners can be friends too, right? Right.

Inspired in part by xjuggernaughtx's fantastic fic, The Carrot Dog Fight.
