This story is a sequel to Cardboard Castles

Zipp was used to odd things happening to her. She had grown up with her sister in Zephyr Heights and Pipp was a drama queen who made the simplest task an impossible hurdle. She helped out at the Brighthouse nearly every day with her friends and they were odd. Magic coming back to Equestria shouldn't phase her since she finally got to fly around and finally use her wings like she always dreamed of doing.

Magic coming back should be a net positive. But waking up as a batpony when you didn't expect to would ruin anypony's day. And that was before she realized that the yearly Zephyr Heights Spooktacular was today. This was not her day and, for once, she was understanding why Pipp worried about the smallest of setbacks.

A little fanmade sequel to Tell Your Tale Episode 41, A Day in the Life.

First story in the Love Mark Verse

Pipp wakes up to find she has reached 100,000,000 followers, and many of them think that she and Hitch are a couple after seeing the video that Sparky made.

Made popular stories!

Ivory Cedar, "Balloon Pony" as most of Maretime Bay knows him, isn't handling the aftermath of his protracted flight very well. Thankfully, Zipp Storm is there to look out for him.

It's Siblings Day in Zephyr Heights, and for Pipp that means another chance to obtain wholesome sister hugs for her livestream. Adamant to keep away from her sister's viral shenanigans, Zipp recruits Hitch to help her avoid the avid pop star.

Hitch, however, has his doubts about the whole thing.

Ten years ago I began writing pony fiction for Gen 4 with a cute story about sisters. Today, I celebrate by doing so once again for Gen 5.

My entry in the Ponyville Ciderfest 2023 anthology book, "Scattered Pages: Tales from the Book of All Stories."

An all-powerful book of destiny, the Book of All Stories, has had its pages scattered throughout time and space. Containing all the stories of ponydom (past, present, and future), whoever has a page of the book can rewrite history and reality at will. One of these pages has sent Zipp Storm back to the time when Princess Twilight still reigned. If she's ever to get home again, she needs to recover that page with the aid of Rainbow Dash and Smolder. If not, whoever comes across the page can alter reality as they please, to potentially disastrous results.

Zipp decides to take Hitch up to her favorite spot in all of Maretime bay during the most clearest night of the year for a bit of late night stargazing. Despite the her happy demeanor, Hitch can see that something is bothering the mare quite a bit.

Just after all the fuss of magic being back is sorted, Sunny returns home to the reminder that she has no home. This is not something her friends will let stand.

This is just an attempt to get my own G5 headcanons and ideas out, as well as find the voices of each member of the mane5. No shipping. No edginess. Just pones exploring their new friendships and new abilities.

Zipp has been acting strange lately. The looks she gives her friends, her movements, the fact she is barely sleeping. Something is wrong with her.

So when the pegasus princess suddenly vanishes, it is up to her friends to find her and try to figure out what is wrong with her.

Can they find her and stop whatever is troubling Zipp? Or will their friend fall to what she fears most: Herself

Edit: This story’s barely been up for an hour and already it’s getting featured. Whoo-hoo!

Chamomile isn't a train conductor. She isn't an engineer, either. She's just a widow taking care of her lonely Bridlewood tea shop and disabled son. Yet, when she receives word of a job opportunity from the newly instituted Equestrian Railroad Company, asking for ponies to extend the railroad to a forgotten realm in the Frozen North, she is intrigued. Perhaps such a place holds the key to changing her son's life for the better.

This simple task is colored by the group she's paired with: a reserved unicorn, a gung-ho pegasus, and an earth pony no less burdened than herself. As they journey forward, she'll find they bring out sides of her long since buried, and new sides altogether—not least the earth pony, whom Chamomile finds herself growing inexplicably closer to.

It'll be up to her how to react to this change—and what kinds of memories she wants to make.

This story is complete, and will be updated every Tuesday and Friday.

This story was written and revised to be set during the Tell Your Tale YouTube Series and after the Make Your Mark special, and as such, departs from the Make Your Mark series. That said, I have tried to make it so that watching either the special or the series is not necessary to understand the story's contents.

For years, Hitch Trailblazer believed many things about Unicorns and Pegasi that he now realizes were complete lies. After escaping Zephyr Heights, he sits by a campfire and talks with his former enemies. Can this be real? Yes, it is. And now it was time for him to do better.

But sleep? Ah, sleep is a more difficult thing to achieve when one has emotional turmoil. Wouldn't you agree? And what is more, looking back to the past can be most painful. Does Hitch have to face this guilt alone? No. There is one who may be able to comfort him.
A certain white pegasus princess.
