A young boy in the city dreams of seeing the stars through the smog. Far away, somepony hears his dreams.

Speedwrite on a whim after having a fleeting thought upon sending a friend a picture of the night sky I took while on vacation once. Well, if you can call about three, four, hours a speedwrite.

Trixie’s attempts at cooking are… Far from phenomenal. Her latest attempt has ended in disaster. Fortunately for her, or perhaps unfortunately, Fluttershy has arrived just in time to save her from her cooking nightmare.

Short mushy little one-shot for Fluttershy day! A bit longer than my previous stories but that's good! I had fun writing it. Enjoy.

The spell was lifted, her friends had been sent home, and her student had learned her lesson. 

In theory, everything should be fine. At least, that’s what Twilight kept telling herself. The Fiducia Compelus episode was nothing more than a mistake, and once apologies were handed out tomorrow, everypony would be able to put it behind them. Everything was absolutely fine. 

Why, then, were there sobs coming from Starlight’s room?

Retirement affects creatures differently, and for the former Alicorn Princess of the Night it's terrible.

The boredom is never fleeting, and follows her around like a lost pet. Work is even more boring, and she thanked the stars to she was able to keep watching the dreams of her former subjects; still this leaves most of her days empty, and unfilled. This all changes when a conversation with Celestia reveals the foals she teaches are constructing a map of their lineage. Inspired to do something similar, Luna decides she'll partake in this as well.

Her progress grinds to a halt when its discovered she has a lost brother she never knew of, and even her older siblings refuse to speak of him except in whispers. Strangely enough, her own mother refuses to acknowledge this fact leaving the alicorn to wonder who he was, and where he is.

Rainbow finds a trophy for a pony declared, "an honorary Wonderbolt". Curiosity getting the better of her, she asks about the pony.
She was greatly surprised to hear that, of all ponies, Derpy had gotten the honor, and respect, of the organization Rainbow idolized.

Written for The Wonderbolts Site Contest. I spent more time writing for the Sci-fi contest, with the goal of writing a one-shot for this one afterwards. In honor of it being a Speedwriting contest, I wrote it down over the course of two days and in under three hours total writing time. I hope you enjoy, and good luck to other contestants!

This story is a sequel to An Empathetic Heart

Standalone story in the Empathetic Heart series

Zipp realizes she may have feelings for Misty, but every time the unicorn looks at her, she seems to melt.

Being the guards officially assigned to work directly for Queen Haven may not be the most stress free job in the world, but Thunder Flap and Zoom Zephyrwing wouldn't have it any other way. They've dedicated their lives to being there for her majesty, and come rain or shine (or whatever else there might be), nothing will stop them from carrying out their duties.

Follow the two on a typical day of service, juggling many responsibilities and assignments. Whether it be managing security detail when Queen Haven pays a visit to somewhere, smuggling in Alphabittle for a "meeting" with the queen, or even just making arrangements for Zipp and Pipp's visit with their mom.

All in a day's work for Zephyr Heights' best guards. The smiles from the queen are the only payment and thanks they'll ever need.

In 835, Princess Celestia made history by having her picture be taken by the newly made invention called the daguerreotype camera. However, a week before, she found herself engaged in a conversation with three art critics who worried that this invention might summon the death of painting as they knew it.

Viewers would like to know that all the following criticism in this story is based on actual historical beliefs of how photography was seen in the 19th century. Any similarities to the new genre of AI art is purely coincidental.
