Sandbar warned Gallus that he shouldn't be messing with the generator.

He should've listened to Sandbar.

Smolder got a good laugh out of it though.

Warning: The following story you are about to read is currently unedited and contains historical facts of a fictionalized world that are completely made up, and a story that I completely forgot I had. If you don't like any of these, you know where the exit button is.

It's every student's worst nightmare, and it's happening to Gallus. Among all the stuff that he has to juggle at the School of Friendship, he had forgotten about the presentation for Twilight's class. Namely, to research and give a presentation in front of the class about a certain point in Equestria's history. If Gallus had more time, he should have been prepared. However, he decides that unless he gets up there to look like an idiot, he should at least try to wing it. He may remember about half of what he's learned, but it's better than nothing.

Honestly, he just hopes that Twilight wouldn't notice.

This story was something I had written several months ago... and then completely forgot about. I think I wrote this one night when I couldn't sleep, but I'm not sure. This is odd since I don't normally do stuff like this, but it's embarrassing I had this on my laptop for who-knows-how-long and did not post it. Well, to make that up, here it is.

Ocellus is home for spring break. She doesn't like being home. There are memories there. Ones she'd rather not dredge up.

Yona and Sandbar have been going steady for about 3 months now, and all their other friends find it cute. However, maybe they've gone too fast in this relationship when Sandbar tells them they've done... IT!

Thanks to Darth Link 22 and CrackedInkWell for helping edit this.

After holding off on an essay for way too long, Gallus now has to try and complete it all in a single night, but thankfully Smolder shows up to give him the little encouragement he needs.

Sequels:
A Little Warm Up

Smolder doesn't know how beaks work. Like, when they're not being used to peck worms out of the ground. Gallus, Silverstream and Sandbar try to explain.

There's a lot of kissing involved.

Ocellus travels back in time to save her friendship with Gallus from self-destructing.

It all happened so long ago... we were young, different, dumb then. Besides, I've moved on from that part of my life.

Loneliness is a scary thing. It can gnaw away at the back of your mind, with your instinct being to try to push it down, when you can't figure out how to deal with it. Just ask Gallus how he knows that. He has foresworn relationships, after being unable to sustain them, instead focusing on his duties as Equestria's Royal Guard Captain. He has accomplished so much and yet... there's still that emptiness, gnawing at the edge of his mind.

Meanwhile, Silverstream is more sure than ever that it was a horrible mistake - her and Gallus breaking up. Can she win back the one for her? Will succeed in opening Gallus's eyes to the truth?

As scary as it can be to look for a part of yourself that you feel is gone forever, broken beyond repair, is it ever truly gone if you gather the courage to cast your eyes upon it?

Despite the "Sex" tag, there is nothing explicit contained within. The tag is merely there for strongly implied sexual conduct.

Gallus doesn't want to go to the School Of Friendship. He's set in his ways and in his role in Griffonstone. But one Griffon is about to change that.

Gallus lays upon the empty beach of Mount Aris.

But it quickly becomes less empty.
