This story is a sequel to Cardboard Castles

Zipp was used to odd things happening to her. She had grown up with her sister in Zephyr Heights and Pipp was a drama queen who made the simplest task an impossible hurdle. She helped out at the Brighthouse nearly every day with her friends and they were odd. Magic coming back to Equestria shouldn't phase her since she finally got to fly around and finally use her wings like she always dreamed of doing.

Magic coming back should be a net positive. But waking up as a batpony when you didn't expect to would ruin anypony's day. And that was before she realized that the yearly Zephyr Heights Spooktacular was today. This was not her day and, for once, she was understanding why Pipp worried about the smallest of setbacks.

It was all about the process. Without a focus in her life now that Twilight is the single ruler of Equestria, Luna decides to apply for her dream job.

A mailmare. The best mailmare in all of Equestria. Or at least the Greater Canterlot Mail District. This would be a fantastic learning experience.

It's been a rough two weeks for Sunny Starscout. She expected her Bridlewood vacation to be simple- relax with Izzy, see the town, and have fun.

Izzy has other ideas. Namely going on an adventure. Cause adventures are fun and Sunny likes those a lot, even if she says otherwise. And if Izzy has a few ideas on what to say to her best friend after the adventure? Even better.

Cause Bridlewood has ruins that Sunny would just love to visit.

Without a purpose in her life, Tempest Shadow decides to harness the power of friendship for herself. Cause if Twilight beat the Storm King so easily it must be a powerful thing.

The only problem is that becoming friends is hard and each of the creatures she befriends are all odd. But Equestria is now a larger part of the world and Tempest has to deal.

If only Grubber wasn't way too into this.

Pinkie Pie loves cakes. She loves baking cakes for all the colts and fillies of Ponyville. But there is one mare in Ponyville who is completely against good taste and actual cakes.

That mare is Diamond Tiara's mom, Spoiled Rich. And yesterday was Tiara's birthday.

So what if Pinkie made an edible cake. She was not a pony who would be deterred from her beliefs.

This was a bakery.

Lyra used to be a normal mare. She was just going to be a researcher of the magical leylines that crisscrossed the country of Equestria. But something went wrong. At the grand opening of the newest Sparkle Generator- it exploded and covered the city in a haze of pure and concentrated mana. Now she's one of the many new mutants that have risen from the magical shockwave and she's ready to help the city as the Handler.

And juggling her life of being the head researcher of the hypothetical fallout and needing to fight crime can be rather draining on a mare. Step one: find Twilight Sparkle. Step two: find a good place to hideout and build new technology.

"You okay Rainbow Dash?" Those words made Rainbow notice the mailmare that happily went her own way around town. Those words were uncomplicated and focused on her well being and even though the speaker accidentally destroyed City Hall, it was a nice time for most.

Now a month later, she has some more courage in asking out her secret crush in person and it terrifies her. Her past relationships had failed, but maybe just maybe, Rainbow could make this one work. At least it would be a fun time and the mailmare could listen to her without Rainbow needing to hide her issues. That would be really nice.

But first she'd need to survive the whole first date thing.

"For want of a nail the shoe was lost;
For want of a shoe the horse was lost;
For want of a horse the battle was lost;
For the failure of battle the kingdom was lost—
All for the want of a horse-shoe nail."

A thousand years ago, Celestia had to banish her sister to the moon because of her tampering with dark magic. After centuries of blaming herself for her sister's loss- the monarch who abdicated from the throne and has been wandering the Equestrian Republic of States has returned to warn of the coming war that she couldn't face.

If only the Ministers of Friendship could hope to trust a pony who leveled Canterlot in grief a thousand years ago and left the sun and moon frozen in the sky in hopes that her lost sister could see that a twilight world could be their domain. Repenting for the sins of the past, an alicorn wanders with her daughters. After all, what use is a Princess of the Sun if the daytime caused her sister's fall?

Being a vampire sucks. Being a vampire high school student sucks more.

Fluttershy used to be normal before that Fall Formal a year ago. Now she's coming to grips that sunlight hurts in large doses without a mountain of sunscreen. Though some of the more well known weaknesses were made up for dramatic effect. Actually vampirism isn't that bad once you get used to it- and most of the time it's easy to stay hidden.

Except that there has been a few suspect drainings of blood lately near Canterlot High and Fluttershy is tasked to find out just what is going on. Now if only she could balance her time better.
