An election looms, and Rainbow only has three hours to put her ballot paper in the box. Will she get there in time? Not if the rest of Equestria have anything to say about it.

(Please remember to vote today!)

Rainbow Dash has inevitably been seeing more of Zephyr Breeze since he started working for a company that offers freelance hair and makeup services for performers across Equestria. That company has recently entered a six month trial contract with Wonderbolt HQ.

Since he started working with the Wonderbolts, Zephyr has been hitting on everyone. Well, everyone except Rainbow, at least. To make matters worse, no one seems to be fazed by his flirtatious behaviour, even Soarin apparently doesn't mind his advances.

Rainbow is extremely agitated by this, and she cannot for the life of her explain why.

A new organisation has emerged over the last few months: one that was originally covert, but has recently begun to offer its services to all of Equestria.

In the mind of a certain pegasus, the reformation of Nightmare Moon sparked the idea of a better alternative to imprisonment , and her work on reintegrating a certain Spirit of Chaos into society pushed her to move forwards with it. It also gave her the tools to accomplish her goal.

Now, months on, that idea has flourished. The organisation has had so much success, in fact, that Celestia herself has passed a new legislation. This will allow the group of reformed, rehabilitated, and rectified creatures running the show to expand their roster, taking on members of the public, whether they be volunteers, or have managed earn their place through veritable villainy.

Celestia is just glad that she can unload some of those pesky miscreants somewhere else for a change.

This story was written around a thread that I made in the Writer's Group, where users voted on five characters to appear in a story together, the five tagged are the ones that received the most votes.

The return of Tirek couldn't have come at a worse time. Well, it could have. It could have been raining too.

The Element bearers, save Twilight, are in Manehatten, sightseeing and doing other things which aren't important to the plot. Can Twilight manage to stave off Tirek without her counterparts? Will anypony else come to her aid? Will the fusion dance help matters? Will Rarity give her cab driver a generous tip?

Find out on the first and only episode of Rip offs, References, and Ponies!

Commissioned by New Lunar Principality.

A mishap involving Vinyl Scratch's latest piece of audio equipment is only the start of a whole heap of problems, ones Vinyl never expected to face, and definitely didn't want to burden her poor roommate with.

Now, with tension running high and all pretense stripped from Vinyl's character, how will she adapt to life being the mare she's always appeared not to be?

Vinyl Scratch has begrudgingly found herself on a quest to find her true self, and to learn what real camaraderie is. Hopefully, she'll have some help along the way. (A few laughs wouldn't go amiss either.)

My first work of fiction, with a newer description, more fitting to where the story has been taken so far.
