Sometimes, when somepony's telling you a story, you want them to get from point A to point B as quickly as possible.
Sometimes, they do exactly that, and you're left wondering just what the heck happened between point A and point B.

You know... I could totally see this. It would explain a lot.
Oh, also...
Could you expand upon this?
I'd love to see more of these if you think of them.
That feeling when you can actually see the invisible progression between A and B on a few of these.
8032062 I understood the progression of ALL of them... Somehow.
Especially the Sunburst and Discord one
I... I don't really know what to say...
Either "Nice job!" or "Write more of these!!!" would work, but I also kinda want to say "Huh?"... so, long story short, I'm now in the afterlife.
The Great And Powerful Trixie is sorry, Princess Twilight, but she and Starlight Glimmer decided it'd be a good friendship lesson if Trixie and you revisited the first incident where we met. So we went into the Everfree Forest and tried to coax the Ursa Minor into coming back to Ponyville so Trixie and you could defeat it together. We accidentally annoyed its mother and the Ursa Major decided to attack Ponyville just as you were called to Canterlot. So... long story short. It turns out that Changeling slime is very good for your fur.
I... I need stories to explain just WHAT happened between point A and point B.
And maybe some more where we're left wondering what happened between point A and point B.
After every "long story short" i would always scream in my head "WHAT HAPPENED!?"
What event could have lead there? xD
This is a lovely collection of writing prompts you have here. I may need to make use of a few of these, especially that last one.
These are really good! After re-reading afew of these, I thought of some of my own, and long story short, would you mind if I published a story with my own "Long story shorts"? (I'd credit you for inspiration)
8113703 Go right ahead.
That moment when you realize this could all be part of the same incident.
I-hahahaha-can't get a-haha-breath in-hahaha-cough, cough-hahahahahahaha-HELP ME!
To the MOOOOOON
Seriously though, I think you just took my daily alotment of WATs. Seriously, all of my WAT
There once was a young slave that won his freedom by winning a race, and long story short...Have you heard the tragedy of Darth Plagious the Wise?
Interesting story/stories. Would like to see them expanded into full stories. Like how is Luna going to run a restaurant?
Dreadnought
These are my new copypastas.
What the actual fuck
Seems to me like Point A and Point B barely have any real distance between them for the one where Cadence was involved. Most of the reading was more wacky and fun that actually did the job pretty well, but it's kind of obvious that the setup for Discord and Sunburst switching bodies could make sense with only another sentence or two if you wanted it to.

Then Discord appeared and said "Oh Cadence, I was looking for you, I'm borrowing one of your subject's bodies for a while, Sunburst, I think his name was. I promise I'll give it back once I'm done with it."
Discord does not need much explanation, really.
Cadance, next time, OPEN with that line. Elaborate afterward.
