"I'm not just ANY reject," Scootaloo whispered angrily. "I'm the BEST reject."

Scootaloo learns the truth about where rainbows come from. She doesn't take it very well.

(Also, we learn how Fluttershy REALLY pays for her animal sanctuary's expenses.)

^{This is an idea that's been tempting me for months. Now with the Rainbow Factory Contest, I have an excuse! I promise, this story is nearly as tasteful as the original premise, if not even more so!}

After Duke Clopius secretly murders his new wife to gain uncontested rule over Zephyria, princesses Zipp and Pipp follow their dream! Their dream is about an angry ghost who wants her death avenged.

Also, about learning to fly for real.

Art Credit: You might think the first G5 movie would include at least ONE shot of a pegasus princess wowing the pegasi of Zephyr Heights by (fake) flying with a backdrop of uninterrupted sky, but no. So I screencapped a frame and edited it.

(This story should work on its own, but it's technically kind of a sequel to "My Little 'Fullmetal Alchemist' of Hamlet and Also an Enchanted Library Is in There Somewhere: Queen Haven's Revenge.")

_{Maybe or maybe not an entry in Bike's A Thousand Words Contest II, for very logical reasons.}

Pinkie hugged all three girls. "I understand what you did! It was almost like saying 'I love you,' but with cruelty and blackmail."

Because NOTHING says 'Winter Holiday Special' like Anon-A-Miss AU parody does!

Flim and Flam have their best idea ever.

Afterwards, Celestia tells Twilight Sparkle to fix all the problems she didn't cause (especially the evil problems.)

(Inspired by the inexplicably large number of fimfics about hair dye...and also, the recent fad for stories about hair dye and babies.)

When Sunset steals alien Princess Twilight's new nanotechnology invention, some of the consequences surprise everyone.

A lonely girl might even find true love (or maybe not.)

(Also, we learn why Twilight Sparkle was so terrified of having to go back to Magic Kindergarten.)

Mood: science fiction AU with comedy and shipping elements.

Prereaders: LysanderasD, Logarithmicon, Carlos S., Shirlendra. (The prereaders are not responsible for my own mistakes and shortcomings, though.)

This story might or might not be an entry in Science Fiction Contest II (link), at least under the current rules that accept a wide range of AUs with science fictiony stuff.
