Green Leaf has been travelling all over Equestria, looking for a place to call home, but no matter where she goes, she just doesn't seem to fit in. Maybe it's her mane? Maybe it's her personality? Maybe it's cause she can't go ten minutes without smoking up? It's a total mystery. All she wants is to settle down and make some friends, but everything always seems to go up in smoke.

Could Ponyville be the place she's been looking for?

Sometimes a little tequila can make things a little clearer and a lot more complicated, be it about one's future or one's past.

And Berry really needs to stop drinking at work.

Berry Punch has had a hard time living with herself, and honestly has no idea how long that has been a part of her life. Not even the bottom of a bottle has the answers she needs anymore.

It's just another night, and there was always the next day to look forward to.

Warning: This story contains heavy suicidal themes, and addiction.

With Nightmare Night so close by, the residents of Ponyville are so busy setting up for the night's events. It'd be foolish for any pony to leave things to the last minute.
Well, then you have Queen Drinksalot aka Berry Punch; Ponyville's lovable town drunk. Who did something crazier than leaving things to the last minute, she left it to drunk Berry. Who knows what kind of mischief she got into last night, in preparation for Nightmare Night? It's up to Berry Punch to make sure Nightmare Night goes well for both Pinchy and Cheerilee or suffer the shame of spoiling the evening.

Ponyville's weather is never quite the same without Rainbow Dash at the helm.

When a week of bad weather frays the nerves of Ponyville's farmers, they'll go to dubious lengths to stop one of their own from winning the heart of Rainbow Dash, and hogging all the good weather in the process.
