A series of philosophical dialogues between Celestia and her old teacher, Marecrates.

Based on the style of the original Socratic dialogues with a pony twist.

Having taken the exact same train journey to his office job for ten years in a row a middle aged stallion begins to wonder about some of the trains more unusual and interesting passengers.

One day he decides to follow one out of curiosity, leading him on a wild goose chase, pursuing any and every strange pony or occurrence from the train, eventually leading to him losing his job, with his old life crumbling down around him in this endless pursuit of the odd and fantastical mundanities of the train and it occupants.

With a yearly train pass in hoof he then decides to devote the rest of his life to any little whimsy or intrigue that might befall him, chasing after the oddest and simplest curiosities with great passion, as might a care free foal.

A small filly wakes up in collapsed cave system, giving her no other choice but to explore her new surroundings, wandering away from all she knows.

Jealous and suspicious of her little sister trying to usurp her place, Celestia fears that she may have to come to terms with her, and join in equal union.

A stupid story based on this scene from my favourite musical.
