Canterlot’s best kept secret is the Incognito Cart, a food cart that sells all the greasy, deep-fried, spicy, butter-caked foods no posh pony would ever be caught dead eating. As part of the rules, every pony present must remain 100% anonymous.

But in a place where every pony is a Stranger, there might also be something else worth finding here...

During a day at the fair Spike wins a prize at a carnival game! As he enjoys all that the fair offers his mind continues to return to the token...and what a fair marking the turning point between summer and autumn means for him and the ponies he loves.

This story is a sequel to Boast Bypassed

Manehatten is an impressive town, and the center of Equestria's theatre scene. Everyday, dozens of productions both on and off the famous Broadhoof Street. And when the human turned unicorn known as Skitch-Sketch is offered work in the city, she brings her friends Rarity and Pinkie Pie along for the ride. But not everything is as it seems. Now tricked into directing one of the worst plays ever, Skitch-Sketch will have to scramble to try and salvage it.

Meanwhile, Pinkie Pie has met one of her foal hood comedy idols! But with his career in a ditch and depression setting in, it'll take every trick in the Element of Laughter's bag of tricks to help him turn it around. Finally, Rarity has some personal business to discuss with her father. Personal business that drills straight to the heart of her life.

This is a one-shot, off the cuff little story written for the sheer amusement of it. The mane six prepare for the shooting of their next episode and the gloves come off. Totally intended to be silly and written as a 1 hour challenge to myself.

Pinkie Pie's friend, Snuggles, is only the coolest pony ever!

He gives the best hugs, and he's sweet, and gives the best hugs, and he's friendly, and gives the best hugs, and he really is such a great stallion! Also, did Pinkie mention the hugs?

Pinkie's friends quickly figure out she appreciates Snuggles for more than just his hugs. The Party Pony, Pinkie, has a crush. Unfortunately, Pinkie has never had a crush before. Does her crush like her back? What do you do with a crush? Why is it called a crush when it feels more like a squish?

Maybe she needs some help from her friends. Just in case. After all, nopony's ever gotten hurt with a crush? Right? ...Right?

Featured on Equestria Daily, December 28, 2013!

What could a smug, arrogant, disrespectful, inconsiderate, country-town farmpony possibly have to offer a seamstress down on her luck? Migraines, premature wrinkles, a revolutionary new fashion line, and a burning attraction that they'd both deny until the moon crashed into Equestria. That's what.

Rated "Teen" for suggestive themes, crude humor, innuendo, and shameless drama written by yours truly.

(Many thanks to the ever-helpful Pearple Prose for his generous proofreading and suggestions. And an extra-special thanks to the fiction and fanfiction authors that have helped push my writing skills to new heights.)

Enjoy!

Rarity has an issue with a behavior of Pinkie’s.

When Pinkie went to have a look at Twilight's genealogy project, she never imagined what she actually found would be possible.
