Apple Bloom thought it was just a game at first. That was what Sweetie Belle had said anyways. It was just something to bring out at sleep overs to scare each other silly before going to bed.

But then Apple Bloom started playing with the Ouija board by herself... or so she thought. At first she’s thrilled when her parents contact her. It gives her a connection with them she always wanted but never had. But as time goes on, the things they say sound less and less like what a parent would say to a child. The things they ask her to do become more and more unthinkable.

When she decides to throw away the board game, she thinks that will be the end of it. Unfortunately, she might be done playing with it, but it isn’t done playing with her.

Derpy didn't grow up in Ponyville. Well, that's not entirely true. She did finish growing up in Ponyville, but that's not where she was born. On a day in late September, when Summer was turning over to Autumn, she bid farewell to the life she knew at the edge of a lake. This story is about that time, and her journey back years later.

And what was waiting for her on her return...

(A short story adapted from Ray Bradbury's 'The Lake')

When his big sister Fluttershy finds out what a difficult time he's having, she tells him about a wonderful work opportunity that perfectly fits his skill set.

And if Zephyr is good at anything, it's making a good impression.

It sounds too good to be true. Unfortunately for Zephyr, it probably is.
