Button Mash always loved games. An obsession that followed him into his teenage years. But now there is a new game in town, 'Ponymon Hunt', and it's a game that every pony is playing.
On the surface it seems to be the perfect video game. But the games creator Dr. Disco, designed it for more than just making ponies happy. Much, much, more.
Button Mash will need more than his gaming skills, once he discovers the true purpose of 'Ponymon Hunt'.

Twilight Sparkle has always been frustrated with Discord. His ability to do anything, with no more effort than a snap of his claw. It shouldn't be possible. His power had to come from somewhere.
Then, one day, Twilight lets slip how she feels. Surprisingly Discord agrees to explain it to her. To give her the secret to all of his powers. If she's willing to pay the price that knowing it all will bring.

Pinkie Pie, the Element of Laughter. Never more than on Hearths Warming did she enjoy her job of spreading happiness and joy to every pony.
Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, the Princess of Love. Hearths Warming was always one of her favorite holidays. One of the few times of the year when love filled the hearts of every pony.
But this Hearths Warming Eve, before all of the parties and the presents and the pleasantries, Pinkie Pie has something else to do in mind. Something that has been bothering her for a very long time. And this year, with the help of Princess Cadence, she intends to do something about it.

A very sick Twilight Sparkle learns that Canterlot is once again the target of a changeling invasion. Despite her illness, she quickly rushes to the rescue. Because after how easily she was defeated the last time, there is no way that Celestia could possibly stave off the invasion without her help... right?

This tale finds Zecora explaining why the Princess of the Moon is late showing up for this year's Nightmare Night. As well as what all ELSE had been going on in the corn maze that night...

Fourth story of the Story Time series.

The Long Night.
It means different things to different ponies. In Canterlot, Celestia traditionally throws a huge party. Meanwhile, all the pegasi retreat to their sky cites, and all the other ponies from Manehatten to Ponyville hurry home before dark, and lock their windows and doors.
Every year before now, Apple Bloom has always been sent away to stay with her friends or family during the Long Night. But this year, despite Applejack's objections, Granny has decided she is old enough to stay on the farm.
Apple Bloom is excited to finally be allowed to spend the Long Night with her family. To see just what all the fuss is about. Just what really goes on that she was too young to be a part of before now?
This year she gets to find out. But before the Long Night ends, she will wish with all her heart, that she hadn't.
