Princess Celestia loves those mornings she can slip away, and walk her dearest student, Twilight, to their lessons.

This morning, though, holds a tragic twist.

A series of very short stories. No real theme connecting them, and I'll be updating the tags as I add new bits and bobs here.

Autumn Frost is a thestral, and has been a loyal member of the Lunar Guard for several years. After an accident forced her into early retirement, she finds herself somewhat at a loss for what to do with herself.

Then she runs into Reed. Reed is shy, reticent, and quite possibly the biggest nerd she has ever met in her entire life--and considering who used to be the Captain of the Royal Guard, that's saying something. Namely, he's everything she isn't. Still, she finds herself somewhat drawn to him, even as events start to show her that civilian life might not be quite as uninteresting as she may have thought.

Octavia will do almost anything for an old friend...even go on a date with the most garish pony she's ever met. Crude, more than a little scary, and with a fashion sense that can charitably be called "extreme", she's certainly not the kind of mare the cellist would ever find herself attracted to....right?

Will the two be able to stand one another? Will their differences drive them apart? Or will they find strength in a relationship that surprises the both of them?

Why in the world are Twilight and Applejack sitting at the bar, downing shots of possibly flammable liquids? Why are the rest, minus one or two, joining them? Why ever did I write this?

Warning: While this is not clop, it does allude to some adult themes. You have been warned.

Applejack still feels a mite guilty over the conclusions she jumped to when the Mane Six first met Zecora.

So she baked an apology pie!

A bit of alcohol, and a night she cant remember though, lead to some....complications.

EDIT

Am currently rewriting this to be less....painful to read.
