Do you need to know what texture an apple's skin has to be in order to be sure that it's ripe? There's an app. for that! Ever wondered how many apples it would take to fill the cement foundation of a skating rink? There's an app. for that too! Ever felt like having an adoracute hologram with orange freckles that you could summon at any moment to chat with you in a charming country accent? Well...

When Twilight Sparkle donates a bunch of crystalline "smart-watches" to the citizens of Ponyville, she unwittingly includes a free download of a holographic Applejack with each prototype. Now the entire town is enamored with utilizing their helpful little neighborhood apple pony. The only thing is... would the real Applejack approve of all this?

Six-year-old Amy Knight Yearling spends an afternoon out running errands with her mother. It is a perilous journey fraught with savage cannibals, deadly bamboo traps, and ferocious jungle beasts.

Or, y'know, maybe just fruit snacks and ice cream.

Minuette sits outside, sipping tea and waiting for something. This is about to become the best day of her life. She knows it, and yet she doesn't.

Are there times you've ever wondered, "Jee, why did the girls at Canterlot High forgive Sunset Shimmer for her evil succubus meddling so easily?"

The answer's simple: "Because, deep down, she's a pretty pretty pony, you stupid melon fudges!"

Look, I heard you the first time! Yeesh, I wish you'd stop staring at me, as if you're reading my thoughts. 'Cuz if you could, then you'd know that while this is the first thing I'd want to do, it's also the last! I mean, horseapples, things would be a heck of a lot easier if I'd known ahead of time that Twilight and the rest of the girls had only packed three sleeping bags instead of six for this mountain hike! For realsies, if you had any friggin' clue how many restless nights I've spent thinking about you, fantasizing situations like this, then you'd know... you would freaking know how impossible it is for me to actually... sh-share a sleeping bag with my totally not-sexy-in-any-way best friend... (*ULP*) ... overnight... s-so that we could keep our bodies warm in the cold, cold forest. Grnnnng! Alright... alright! I'll do it! Of c-course I'll do it! I'm awesome! I'm not afraid of anything! Okay... I can do this... I can totally do this... I can... I can... I-I...

A lonely tree, a windswept hill, and a glowing night's sky.

Scootaloo discovers an empty cardboard box behind the post office.

This is where her day begins.

Captain Shining Armor of the Royal Guard is a force to be reckoned with, especially alongside his loyal Lieutenant, Flash Sentry. Together, they have overcome all manner of evil threats in the Crystal Empire and beyond. So, when Princess Twilight Sparkle requests that Shining Armor arrive in Ponyville to look after the quaint, humble farming village for a single day, Shining feels that he and his partner are overqualified for the challenge. But is that necessarily a good thing?

Rainbow Dash likes it a lot more than she thought she would.

During a full moon, Flash Sentry enters the mirror beneath the Crystal Palace to pay an unauthorized visit to the human world. This sort of action will probably cost him his career. He could care less.
