A random collection of prompt-driven one-shots. Each has been lovingly hand-crafted.
The subjects are as diverse and colorful as the ponies which they describe.

Wait, where does the 'tour' aspect come into play? This is clearly a war scenario...
Also, it would probably be a bad idea to "catch one and eat it for dinner", captain.

Most of the chapter titles are taken from the title of the prompt, whether or not they really fit with the story. This is because the vast majority of these one-shots have less than an hour's work from start to completion, and I can't be bothered to come up with a clever title in such a short amount of time.
I lived in Kentucky for several years, and of all the... *ahem* edibles they serve there, sweetened iced tea is my favorite and spaghetti with chili is the weirdest. Of course, I originally hail from California, so I grew up with Mexican-style spicy chili, which is a far cry from the mild Sloppy Joe-style chili they have.
I love your little shorts!
3988899 My aunt (by marriage) makes chili like that. The first time she served it I honestly thought it was some kind of strange midwest fusion Bolognese.
Aww! The reason she wants the muffin-o-matic is so sweet, getting to spend more time with her kids.

She's the best mother.

Apropos of nothing, I read a book review recently, which raised an interesting point, I quote:
The book in question, if in the UK.
Or in the US.
Of course the Wolfpacks came later, but it was too little, too late.
Pinch must never hear of this.

I don't think Hitler knew how desperate England was to get supplies, especially early in the war, before the US joined in and started churning out Liberty ships faster than the Nazis could sink them. Between that tactical error, and invading Russia, he stretched himself too thin when victory was all but assured.

She'll find out. It's probably something every pony does at some point or another.
The purpose of chives is to allow an omelette to reach it's potential.
Faved for "I was drunk"
It even sorta-kinda makes sense, given that if you tilt your head to the side and squint just so, the word "ham" doesn't absolutely have to mean a chunk of smoked/brined pork. Just the upper part of a leg including one side of the rump.
Kudos on your human not being immediately treated like visiting family. The most believable HIE stories I've seen tend to have the human doing farm work for the Apples, and sleeping in their barn, until he or she has a few bits collected.
6933501
Yeah, that's one thing that's always bugged me about HiEs in general, so I try to stay away from the human getting all sorts of good stuff for nothing.
Actually, one of my favorites for turning the expected cliches on their head is Ed Parker in Equestria. That one slipped under a lot of radar screens.
What is food... Who asks things like that? Admiral Biscuit, that's who.
Having grown chives (Not difficult. Once well-rooted, you can't easily kill 'em.) I'll toss this comment in: They're powerful little things. Just try pulling one and eating it like a green onion, if you want to take a stupid dare. It'll be maybe 2 or 3 times as potent as even one of those occasional green onions that make you want to swear off crudites entirely. Not just the thing for Valentine's Day, folks.
6933557
I've got a bunch of 'em growing feral where the herb garden used to be. I love raw chives. Used to eat them all the time as a kid, and never really got out of the habit.
6933565
Just to make sure...
*Boggled* You eat the root parts of chives? Where an onion would have a bulb? *Boggled*
6933576
Oh, no, not the root. Just the stalks. Didn't know you could eat the root, to be honest. I'll have to try that once the ground thaws.
6933604
Eh... Hope ya get a mild one, then.
I got mine from my sister... No idea what variety or cultivar it is. It tends to grow larger than the flower-pot chives I've seen in garden centers.
Later edit: Chives will winter-over, growing larger each year, but the root gets tough and fibrous, like chewing on a stick. I discovered that while digging some older chives out of my garden this summer.
Heeheehee!

After a rather long drought, I’m going back and finishing the Prompt-A-Day collections! Yay!
I was going to do one a day as my One-Shot-Ober, but upon sober reflection, that just isn’t going to happen. Too many stories currently in progress and simply not enough free time. But maybe--just maybe--I’ll be able to slap a complete tag on this one by the end of October.
Posting here because it makes more sense - I think I’d open the containers, no matter what may. Well, or donate it to the SCP :)

What’s that old saying, “In for a penny, in for a pound?”
I probably would open the box, although if it was Pennywise, I totally would burn my house down and move to Slab City.
Yeah, visiting a foreign land as a pony you’d expect the horses/animals to be able to speak.
Cipher
9314007
Cipher, being an actual word, is not tradmarkable, thus not a pony's name. Blame Hasbro.
9308577
Yeah, you would. It’s a natural mistake for her to have made.
9314007
Corrections made; thank you!
9314687
Actually, according to the trading card anyway, it is Cipher.
Unless they’ve changed it since printing the trading card, which is always a possibility.
9314821
Alack! My cunning defense ruined by facts!
So, why do you have so many different Prompt-A-Day collections and what makes you classify a story into one but not another?
6659090
Where would they have gotten the fuel to run all of those submarines? Germany could barely keep it's army moving, much less it's army, navy, and air Force.
...but you didn't get the part where the iceberg had been stalking them because of the Zebra magic!
9315077
The reason was how the folders were arranged in the group. There was a folder for prompts 1-10, 11-20, 21-30, and so on. Thus, it made the most sense for me to arrange the stories in collections in that manner. I suppose I could have put one long story into however many collections it qualified for, but I’ve been yelled at in other groups for doing that.

I’m just picturing the zebras having a ship voodoo doll, and one of them bumping it with ice cubes.
Inside is a piece of paper reading "Roll 1d100 and consult the following chart." What follows is a list of ninety-nine different items, from an old issue of National Geographic to a tentacled monstrosity to a pony. At the end it reads, "00: DM's choice."
You decide not to break out the ten-sided dice. And to attend church more regularly.
9321022
Ooh, I always liked those charts. Lots of fun could be had with them, like when you let the kender get the Wand of Wonder. Rife for abuse, of course, and derailed every campaign it was ever used in.
I spy a with my little eyes, something that start with t...
You just did that didn't you?
The one trick that did the job for me was to just treat it as a conversation. Just say what you wanna say and all will be fine. What really helped though, was that time I presented the weather forcast at the national television. It was overwhelming, but in the end it was just me, the camera and a few people who came for support. I could not see the viewers. It helped. Afterward I reused that mindset.
Plus I spoke live on the national news, what can indimidate me after that?
9409458
Fixed, thank you!
Not in so many words, but yes.
I’ve never been on national TV and probably shouldn’t be, but in terms of writing a story, the first person (and to an extent, second person) viewpoints quite naturally slide into the ‘telling a friend a story’ niche. And when you’re comfortable telling a friend a story, it’s not that much of a stretch to publish it, and in effect tell that same story to a complete stranger.
You should never order any drink that's blue. Or at least that's what my tiki cocktail recipe book says.
Headcanon accepted... though that would make a lack of eye contact (or at least head visibility) very confusing for ponies. They must hate phones, aside from video calls.
"Third place!? You gave second to a human!"
Lovely follow-up, especially Hannah supporting Daring during the panel. Thank you for it.
9409629
True, you did skip the unecessary long introduction
I never thought about it that way, but yes, I can see it now that you mention it.
: Okay girls, meet me at the Starbucks!
All: Which one?
Not necessary. Hell, if you wind up in New York, they'll have you driving a cab if you're not careful.
You got a green card? You're hired.
On second thought, you got a green card? You're over qualified for the job

That’s a noble calling for a pony. Although, it’s well-known that all horses cannot operate automobiles,
You do some very nice Pony-on-Earth stuff. Wish more of it was up to your standards.
9843670
Thanks!
Everybody else just needs to practice more, that’s what it is.
Ladies and gentlemen, the Muffinpocalypse.
That kinda happened to me on one of the worst days of my life. Stuck in the middle of nowhere in a foreign country and not avle to speak the locals language

Fortunately, that hasn’t ever happened to me.
