Berry Punch has taken to the hobby of pulling out the old lawn chair and watching Ponyville explode. It seemed a little too common at this point to be honest. How many times could a town explode before it got old?

Everything was going the way it usually did. Her on a lawn chair, bottle of wine in hoof, and a catastrophic event playing out in front of her that would no doubt be written in the history books. A usual afternoon in Ponyville.

Then a certain dragonequus shows up, drained of his magic, down on his luck, and in need of some mortal wisdom.

The fate of Equestria rests in her hooves, and Berry Punch doesn't even know it.

This story is a sequel to Mundane Utility

Nopony seems to understand how hard this is on her. Maybe Zipp can find joy in social isolation, but the more sensible of the sisters recognizes that she's been largely cut off from fame, fortune, and the constant reinforcing platitudes of those who clearly love her. Still, when Pipp is truly feeling lost, she can always power up Bestie, check the views on her latest video upload, and bask in the approval of the upvote count --

-- what's that little red symbol? That's never been there before...

...okay. Even more to the point: who cast that downvote, and how can Pipp make sure they never do it again?

(Now with author Patreon and Ko-Fi pages.)

While the story is labeled as a sequel, this just indicates that it takes place after the original tale. No extra reading is required.

Apple Bloom has no memories of her parents. But that's okay, it's not like Applejack and Big McIntosh knew them that much either.
One day, though, Granny finds an old album, with all the photos of their parents. And Apple Bloom notices something.

Inspired by The Hand That Takes from TJ Pones. I got other ideas on the same theme as well, but this one was the first one that really interested me.

This was something I wrote as the author and co-writer in Fanfiction.net almost a decade ago. The time line is after season 4 and the 1st EqG movie.
