Sometimes the best stories come from the most unlikeliest of encounters.

In 'Rich in Flowers, Unlucky in Love', one of the flower girls struggles with her growing feelings for a customer, suffering as she watches him stumble into romantic disaster after disaster.

In 'Perspective', Pony Joe shares with one of his customers a tried-and-tested method for resolving a Code Sparkle(otherwise known as a pre-test meltdown).

In 'Late to Class', Lemon Hearts is quite excited to be filling in for an injured professor... until an unexpected student appears in her roster.

And in 'Historical Inaccuracy' Sunny and Zipp go on a scavenger hunt through history to answer a pressing question: is it even possible for one of Sunny's ancient heroes to have had an extramarital affair?

These four stories were written as part of the Quills and Sofas 'May Pairings' contest, where prompts were given matching ponies that didn't have much of a chance to interact onscreen. It was quite fun and challenging. Pre-reading help provided by the Quills and Sofas participants, as well as horsetorian and Celestilune.

Opaline had stolen the cutie marks from half of Equestria and was rapidly conquering the rest. Even the fake alicorn Sunny Starscout and her minions were faltering before her. One more push would bring Opaline to her final victory.

Then she surrendered.

And even Opaline doesn’t know why.

It's the weekend, and the latest film to hit Maretime Bay theatre has arrived. Hitch looks forward to seeing them; however, when his grandmother cannot take him as planned, Sunny's father offers to take the young colt in her place. And in turn, he's also proposed that Hitch spend the night over which Sunny is delighted. But for the young colt, this will be the first time he's ever slept anywhere besides his home. Fear starts to set in if he can go through with this.

Opaline has finally been defeated, peace has been restored to Equestria, and all is well. But Sunny still has a few lingering, nagging questions that beg to be answered. And there's only one creature who can answer them: Dragon Lord Spike.

Journeying back to the dragon lands, Sunny requests another audience with the old dragon. She wants to know how he became dragon lord and why he left Twilight Sparkle so long ago, as well as it must have to do with Opaline.

Against his better judgement, Spike decides to share his memories with Sunny. And in the process, he might finally come to terms with some difficult parts of his past.

The idea of there being more alicorns out there is exciting! So why doesn’t Sunny feel that way? What is she worried about?

Going to Zipp, the pony known for bravery, seems like the best decision to quell these concerns.

Can Zipp once again help assure Sunny of a bright future?

And is there more to Sunny’s dream than she initially thought?

Sunny Starscout had been looking forward to celebrating Winter Wishday this year, not just because of her new friends being part of it, but also learning all the different holiday traditions that each race celebrated as well. Most of all for Sunny however, she was eager to show them all a sight that hadn't been seen in Equestria for many years, a moon so rare and majestic that it has inspired legends and tales, the Winter's Blue Moon, said to have been named as such by the legendary Princess of the Night herself so long ago. Sunny had confidence that the very moon her father once witnessed himself would finally rise again, and with the recent reunification of all the pony races, it was the perfect time to see it happen.

Opaline has declared herself the greatest Fire Alicorn in Equestria.

The actual greatest Fire Alicorn in Equestria would like to disagree.
