This story is a sequel to Princess Twilight Sparkle's 505th Birthday

Smarty Pants, Honeycrisp, and Sandy find themselves stuck in the salad days of Equestria, four hundred and eighty years in the past. Can they get back without screwing up everything?

Probably not.

This story is a direct continuation of Princess Twilight Sparkle’s 505th Birthday, which is itself a continuation of Princess Twilight Sparkle’s 500th Birthday. To really get a grasp on what’s going on you should give both of those a read in the right order. You can skip them if you'd like but... Oh boy, will you have questions.

Notes:
- Cover art commissioned by HAK2. Check out his other stuff, too.
- This is a story in the Birthdayverse.
- Many thanks to my faithful Pre-Reader and all around super-duper best pony, Blood Lord go read his story, too!
- And thanks to the newest pre-reader to join in the craziness, Razalon The Lizardman. Keeper of the mighty Em dash! Go read his stuff, too!
- Dedicated to my wife. Her love keeps me going and her snark keeps me smiling.

As always, please leave comments and critiques.

Scarlet Letters is a lot of things. A Mare. A pegasus. A former member of the guard. And now, a librarian. She's looking forward to the post-war peace and prosperity that's been promised.

Now if only she could get some sleep.

Cabbie Blocks is many things. Old, tired, and sore from a long day at work being first and foremost on that list tonight. There's really nothing he'd rather do right now than head home and catch up on the news. But fate has one last fare for him tonight. One with a destination on memory lane.

This is the second in a series of standalone stories for background ponies from MLP:FIM Season 4.

Comments and critiques are appreciated.

Dear Twilight Sparkle,

You’re invited to Sugarcube Corner for a fantastically important Hearth’s Warming Eve event! Hope to see you soon!

P.S. You like being scared, right? Okay, good!

See you later with my alligator,

The name's Burt. Just Burt. I'm one of the local apiarists here in Ponyville, meaning I sell bees and bee products. You know, stuff like beeswax, honey, pollen, and royal jelly. I just moved in a few months ago, and so far I have to say life around here is pretty good.

Now if only I could figure out what these mares are doing with my bees, I'd be golden.

This is the first in a series of standalone stories for background ponies from MLP:FIM Season 4.

First up: The beekeeper stallion from Castle Mane-ia, whom I’ve named Burt. Because reasons. This story starts off right where we left Burt after he got his bees back from three very silly mares.

Comments and critiques are appreciated.

Five years have passed since the events of that fateful morning. Smarty Pants and her friends set off on an adventure of a lifetime to discover the secrets of the past when they awaken a… oh wait, that would be spoiling it!

Many questions from the first story will be answered! New questions will arise. Lunch will be had, pies will be thrown, blood will be kept inside bodies because seriously, ew blood, you guys.
