Under a rock in the Everfree Forest, there lived a pony.

Once a year, she came out to play.

**Beware of spoilers in the comments.**

The Cutie Mark Crusaders embark on a snipe hunt. They don't find any snipes, but on the edge of a pumpkin field, they find something better.

With a reading by AShadowOfCygnus

Ah'm trying to tell you guys, but yer not listenin'. Haven't you two noticed Twilight actin' different lately? How she's always nervous in public now? Or how 'bout the fact she's never at her library no more? It's like she's hidin' somethin' and Ah know what it is. She's got wings, and we're gonna prove it.

Spin-off of Ascend.

Sweetie Belle gets curious about where babies come from, so she confronts Rarity about it.

The cutie mark crusaders want to be grown-up mares like Applebloom's big sister, Applejack.
So when Applebloom finds out that Applejack has a secret cider stash, and Applejack tells her it's "For adults only" the crusaders decide that if they drink it, they'll be adults too. What could possibly go wrong?

This is an idea I had while drunk. Also I wrote it while drunk. Maybe I spend too much time drunk.

Scootaloo goes to the park with her fellow crusaders to see the Cake's new foals. When she meets them, she notices that Pound Cake can already fly. This reminds her of her own inability to fly. She leaves the park depressed. However, a visit from Spitfire gives her an idea.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders' plans for an afternoon of crusading are interrupted by a school assignment to write a report on nature. They've heard other ponies talk about "the birds and the bees" and decide to ask their sisters and the rest of the Mane Six for their help on the subject.

Needless to say, the answers they get should make for a very interesting report!

Presented as a multiple short chapter story.

This story is a sequel to A Sour Sweet Gesture

After failing at music videos and ( intentional ) comedy, Scootaloo, Apple Bloom, and Sweetie Belle are stuck in a rut to find something interesting to put up online. Their prayers are answered when they witness Sour Sweet throwing a tirade over a twenty cent increase on the price of milkshakes at Sugarcube Corner. The Crusaders recruit her in their quest for internet stardom, however they may just end up gaining something even better: friendship... AND internet stardom!

While helping Twilight rearrange her lab, Spike comes across a magical powder that changes him into a pony! While Twilight tries to find an antidote, pony Spike has some adventures of his own.

(Originally posted (part 1, at least) to EqD in May 2011. I'd run across a ponified Spike picture and suddenly got an urge to write it. Another story that I tried to make seem like a viable episode)

NOTE: This story takes place in the same continuity as Appleshy, Sparkle Kitten, Trixie's Great and Powerful Revenge, and Tragic Magic. It takes place chronologically after all of those except Tragic Magic. The other stories are not required reading to fully enjoy this story (though feel free to read them anyway!), but there are one or two elements that call back to Sparkle Kitten in particular.

Scootaloo wakes up one morning to find that she can use magic. Unicorn Magic. This is the story of that Sunday. And the Monday after that. And the Tuesday after that. We'll be serving it with a side of Scootaloo-can't-fly cliche'.

This is my first story so I'd appreciate any feedback!
