The Golden Oaks Library is a treasure trove of knowledge and information. It's also a complete mess, so Twilight enlists Rainbow Dash's help to organize it a bit.

Just a really brief one-shot that's a birthday gift for a friend who's a fan of Rainbow Dash and Twilight.

The Summer Sun Celebration has come to Ponyville once more. Last year's celebration didn't go quite as planned, what with Eternal Night being only narrowly averted, so this year they're going to extra lengths to make sure it goes smoothly.

Note: this fic takes place in an AU where Twilight hasn't become an alicorn yet; basically as if the next SSC happened mid-season 3 instead of later on. A friend wanted to see a more slice of life version of how things might've turned out.

It's a normal day in Ponyville, which means that disaster has struck. Octavia would prefer to avoid such things, but unfortunately she has a wedding to play for. She'll need Vinyl's help to make it on time. That might not necessarily help.

A friend of mine wanted to see how Vinyl and Octavia might've acted if Vinyl actually had dialogue, and since it's fun to write the duo, I figured I'd give it a shot.

Princess Cadance wakes up with a hangover, and some garbled memories of the previous night's events.

Thanks to Marston241 for giving me the idea for the story.

Now with a reading by CaptainBron3y.

"I'm going to be famous!", "I'm going to be the next big thing!", "I'm going to be a superstar!" Octavia couldn't even count how many times she'd heard her roommate claim that she was headed for fame and fortune.

But the worst part is, Vinyl might not be wrong. At least, not entirely.

This fic is inspired by the Dream Theater album Octavarium, which is awesome, and you should go listen to it. It is not, however, required to understand the story.

And for the record, this is not a Vinyltavia shipfic.

After ascending to Princesshood, Twilight decides that it's time to really take the notion of "A Sound Mind in a Sound Body" to heart. She has the "Sound Mind" bit down (mostly), but years of sitting inside hunched over a book has given her quite a bit of ground to make up on the "Sound Body" front.

Fortunately, she has an athletic friend to help her out.

On the eve of the Summer Sun Celebration, Spike discovers all of Ponyville has been trapped in a deep sleep by an unknown enemy. What's more, even he himself is falling victim to the spell. Fortunately, the Princess of the Night is wide awake, even when she sleeps.

Rainbow Dash's dream has come true, and she's been accepted for training at Wonderbolt Academy. All she needs to do is fill out a few forms, get fitted for a uniform, and get vaccinated for Feather Flu.

That last one might be a bit of a problem.

Marston241 showed me the picture, and I pretty much had to write a fic based on it.

Celestia has a hobby. A very expensive and resource-consuming hobby. A very expensive and resource-consuming hobby that Luna feels is going a bit too far. Stained glass windows are nice and all, but Celestia is really beginning to overdo it.

Maud Pie has studied rocks. She has written poetry about rocks. She has played games with rocks. She has spent great amounts of time among rocks. But she has never been a rock, and now she intends to change that.

But will petrification be all it's cracked up to be?
