Working for the boss was one of the easiest jobs going. Gargoyles didn't need to eat or drink, and, most of the time, he just sat and brooded quietly. But every so often, like every villain, he felt he had to justify his villainy with some grand scheme to conquer or destroy. After all, that's what evil villains were supposed to do wasn't it? But evil villains were also supposed to be defeated, and that wasn't conducive to long-term employment. And sometimes—the last time the boss had planned to conquer the diamond dogs for instance—Rogi had to work very hard indeed. Luckily though, tonight he'd picked Equestria again.

Meeting herself was not really something Sunset had ever planned to do. But once she does, she insists that they’re different people. What that leads to is something she was not expecting to enjoy.

_{Sex tag is only for suggestive jokes and comments. This is not as serious as the title and cover art makes it seem.}

Twilight Sparkle is facing a crisis greater than Tirek, the Changelings, and King Sombra combined.

She's read every single book in existence.

So it is that she has nothing new to read.

She does not take it well.

Pre-read by The Albinocorn and MythrilMoth.

"Twilight and her friends are invited to the Grand Galloping Gala." Pinkie sighed. 'We have to do that story again?' she thought. "Ugh, I don't know how much longer I can take these summer repeats! Well better get this over and done with. It sure is a better option than... the alternative."

Pinkie Pie is in charge of the show, and it's her responsibility to make sure every episode goes off without a hitch. However, performing an endless cycle of repeats over the summer has left everypony very frustrated. Despite that, it is up to Pinkie to guide her friends through the repeat, less they face the unthinkable if things go wrong.

The first story of my "Tales From Behind the Scenes" series! Read the other parts here:
1. The Best Night Ever! (repeat)
2. Magical Mystery Drama
3. Lyra's Big Idea
4. The Crusader Crisis

In every world, era, and species, adolescents think they're the first to invent or discover whatever they come across. It's not hard to see why. In the flower of youth, every experience is new and fresh and exciting, especially the ones previous generations won't discuss. Not in polite company, anyway. Certainly not with their children.

Well, "exciting" isn't always the best word to describe those discoveries. Sometimes it's "horrifying." Especially when it involves certain alicorn princesses.

Rated Teen for discussion of topics that would be rated Mature. Also rated C for Crackfic. Graciously preread by Comma Typer.

In the future, we'll colonize the solar system, cure cancer, clone the human genome, and build trans-dimensional hoodies that can summon tiny talking horses from an alternate universe.

It's pretty snazzy.

There is no beginning and no ending; only hoodies and the poni poni poni that fill them.

Apple Bloom has a sister, Sweetie Belle has a sister, and heck, even Scootaloo got one recently. So why should Diamond Tiara be the filly without one? In fact, hers should be ten times better than all of theirs combined! And with her father being the richest stallion in Ponyville, she should have no trouble getting one!

... That is if he wasn't such a stingy, mean father. Thankfully Diamond Tiara's a smart filly and knows how to get what she wants.

Apple Bloom comes home late from crusading afraid of being punished for being gone so long. The next morning, her concerns quickly shift when she can't find her family... or anypony else. Are they all out looking for her and her friends, or has something gone terribly wrong? And what is that sound that keeps getting closer?

A prequel of sorts to Twilight's Library.

When the final exams get submitted from the foals at Ponyville Schoolhouse, Cheerilee has a good feeling that her students payed attention all year long. She's almost looking forward to grading the papers, because she's sure most of the kids aced the test!

Rainbow Dash finds out that Equestria has speed limits.
