Written for Candelit Vigil, in memory of Ninjadeadbeard. May he rest in peace.

Written as for Bean's Writing Group, as prompt no. 32 "Dancing with Myself."
Thanks to LysanderasD and RDT for editing and other help!

I definitely broke the word limit (two times over and change), but I couldn't help myself.

Let me know what you think about the story!

The Cutie Mark Crusaders have tried everything they could to get a cutie mark.

Or did they?

After a sarcastic half-advice, the trio starts on a new journey; to earn their cutie marks fighting in the mysterious "arena of politics". First thing's first - find out what this "politics" thing even is.

It's surprisingly hard to figure it out.

The Zephyr Heights Museum of History holds a great treasure: the Curator, an ancient ghost with experience to entrance both the visitors and the museum's Janitor, who has given up on matching his idol a long time ago. Can his mind be changed?
Isn't the ghost in the Zephyr Heights Museum of History is still a pony, after all?

Written for Bean's Writing Group's prompt #25.
Theme: "The Ghost in the Room"
Bonus: "Teach something in the story"

Any input is welcome!

This story is a sequel to RSL-047

Sidequel to RSL-047. Describes roughly the same timeline from a very different point of view - that of a humble vending machine.

Result of Bean's Writing Group's PoV-centric prompt.

Last night tending bar at a small restaurant at the western-most tip of Equestria before the tourist season truly ends. It's Nightmare Night, and there is a peculiar guest coming.
