Sometimes it isn't simple to satisfy a ponies values. Sometimes (like in Summer Star's case) you need to beat them up a little, in order to teach them how to satisfy themselves.

Summer wasn't always afraid of social interaction, but long years of amazing adventures among snowcovered mountains, and on fantastical shores, has limited her ability to interact with other ponies. Princess Celestia realizes that Summer Star, though her values are being satisfied, needs more friends, if she is to uphold her prime directive.

Summer star needs to be conditioned!

(note that:
- This story is undoubtedly sucky compared to professional prose.
- Won't be updated terribly often.
- May or may not end up being completed.

Despite these discouraging factors, I still appreciate any and all readers + feedback)

"It's all a simple equation, really. When you live alone with your studies, too afraid of other ponies to leave your home, like I do, you realize that strange actions are only strange to ponies that aren't strange."

Cafes provide lots of things for Twilight Sparkle: Coffee, peace and quiet, nice conversation. Most would call Twilight's cafe visits strange, but she thinks they are necessary.

I wrote this short sort-of-vignette in one sitting.

Warning, this story contains:
-Mild sexual innuendos and one necrophiliac 'joke'.
-Slightly-darker-than-average Equestria (though no dark tag, so that is good, right?)
-Depressed, despairing Hayseed Turniptruck (from that one Rarity episode that I can't remember the name of with the window washer)
-A healthy amount of parenthesizes
-Words!
