Sprout was really, truly sorry for what he'd done to all the ponies of Maritime Bay - and beyond - during his power-fueled rampage. Really, he was! But sending him out into an atrociously muddy swamp to search for an obviously mythical flower in order to atone just felt like a bit too much! Plus now he has to deal with an annoyingly lost pink pegasus. And what's this now with the rhyming zebra?!

According to legend, a magical dias tuned to the Elements of Harmony rests in the fabled city of Griffinstone. If the six Bearers stand there during the Summer Solstice, it will summon the spirit of the Guardian of Magic, Princess Twilight Sparkle.

Sunny believes she and her friends are the new Bearers, but they're missing the Element of Honesty. It isn't Sunny, because she hasn't told her friends the real reason she wants to perform the ritual...

(Loosely based on "Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore")

On her way to work with her smoothie cart one morning, Sunny happens to bump into Sprout and notices that he's looking rather unhappy. Soon, she begins to feel like she's unintentionally forgotten all about him, and so has everypony else.

Determined to cheer Sprout up and make him happy again, Sunny convinces her friends to join with her to give Sprout a surprise birthday party. But they'll have to be quick, because Sprout's birthday is only a few days away!

Can Sunny and her friends get everything ready in time for Sprout's big day?

As punishment for his actions, Sprout Cloverleaf is sentenced to clean up all the rubble from Sunny Starscout's destroyed lighthouse. Furious at how successful Sunny is, at how happy all the Unicorns and Pegasi are with their magic, and at how his mother Phyllis has begun to distance herself from him; Sprout constantly stewed in his anger and wished for some way to get revenge. However, when he comes across the ancient Bewitching Bell among Argyle's collection of Equestrian artifacts, it seems that the bigoted would-be emperor would finally get his wish.

Sunny and her friends soon find themselves fighting and fleeing for their very lives as they are faced with the newly self-proclaimed "Final Emperor of Equestria."

It hasn't been easy for Sprout. Alone, and forgotten, he wonders if any creature cares, and then He shows up at his door.

Wait, what?

For the first time in living memory, a unicorn has set hoof in Maretime Bay. The ponies demand decisive action. Unfortunately, they're demanding it from Sprout. Even more unfortunately, he has some issues keeping his composure through the whole thing. And that's not getting into the real problems...

A strange and distant part of the Oversaturated World.

It’s Hearth’s Warming season. Ponies of all kinds are excited for this holiday. Unicorn, Pegasi, Earth Ponies and all creatures alike.

All except one.

Sprout Cloverleaf just can’t seem to get into the Hearth’s Warming mood. It’s not that he hates this yearly holiday, he just isn’t as excited, or even interested. Nothing to make him truly feel happy.

That is…until he spots a little filly in a store who desperately wants to buy a dress for her Mom.

This Christmas themed fanfic is based on both the Christmas song Christmas Shoes by Newsong and the 2002 film of the same name, starring Rob Lowe.
