Blinkie Pie swung a pick axe in her magic, breaking apart a rock. Inside shone a glittering gem, which she pocketed. Rock farming was rewarding work. It was made even easier by their new-found ability to use magic. "How are you doing, Inky?" she asked.
Her sister, Inky Pie, looked up. "Very good. Thank you for asking."
Then the day continued on as normal because Pinkie Pie's family is boring.

I only wrote this because someone asked for it in the comments. Don't hate me. Seriously, how am I supposed to work with such boring characters?
"when in doubt, have a new character smash down the door with a gun on him and an attitude"
Meh, it's okay. We forgive you.
Honestly, though? This could be a good chance to let your imagination run wild. Not even canon can we understand how 'rock farming' actually works. Maybe you can go into a bit more detail into how it's supposed to work.
Besides...
I understand why you made them break rocks for jems, but that wouldn't make them rock miners, in my oppinion;
It would make them miners or crystal hunters.
I wanted to suggest one of the many one-off characters of the show, but my mind kept coming back to the same conlusion, and every time I did, I thought to myself, "Oh no... No no no no no!"
What was it I kept thinking about?
Snips and Snails. Idiots with power.

Sombra is dead. He 'sploded.
Or at least, that's what I'm going with. His horn survived and everyone seems to think that's foreshadowing. Maybe, but not in this story.
1751999I'm tellin' ya, you need to alicornify the teenage dragons, and the diamond dogs.

Damn.
Zecora, I choose you!
I guess you don't follow the headcannon that Octavia IS one of the pie sisters...
1752068 I DO!
1751976 I second that. it feels like a bit of a cop-out to assume they're boring. We know nothing about Colgate other than fanon but her intermission was quite fun.
... A character is only as boring as the author makes them...
I'm sorry, but if you think the Pie sisters are boring, you've obviously never read either the Ask the Pie Sisters tumblr or half the fics that feature them in a major role.
"I only wrote this because someone asked for it in the comments. Don't hate me. Seriously, how am I supposed to work with such boring characters?"
Correction. They are boring to you. If I've learned anything is that NO character is 100% loved or hated in the pony-fandom.
