It's a beautiful spring day in Ponyville, the kind of day where the clouds look like fluffy sheep (and the sheep look like ground-clouds), the kind of day for a pony to be out and about. It's not the kind of day to come upon a grisly murder scene, but that's how Rarity's day is going so far.

Who could have done such a thing?

All she wanted was a Shamrock shake, smooth and cool, deliciously clover-y . . . but that's not what she got.

Merry May's been on Earth long enough to know that the pictures of food on a menu board and the actual food item received bear little resemblance. She hasn't yet figured out that there's sometimes outright deception. Shamrock Shakes contain no actual clover; they're not even clover-flavored.

Most ponies stay off the roads in the snow. Poppy doesn't--sometimes she has to drive the wrecker, but other times she drives just for fun. Her car enjoys playing on snowy roads, and so does she.

A Highway 502 story

This story is a sequel to Nightmare Night

Valentine's Day comes every February, romantic partner or not. Singles have Singles Awareness Day which just seems like . . . anyway, Cinder Glow might have an unusual interest in conversation hearts but she also hasn't got a partner, so what better way to celebrate an almost-holiday than spend some time with a friend?

There are plenty of things on Netflix that aren't romantic, and it turns out that conversation hearts and popcorn are a decent mix.

Now that her village is full of chatter and cheer, now that one of the Kirin is in Friendship School, Rain Shine decides that she's going to visit Ponyville for Hearth's Warming.

Unfortunately, she doesn't understand trains as well as she should.

On the plus side, she makes a new friend along the way. Sometimes the best friends are the ones you've just met.

A forklift license is only the beginning. There are skid steers and backhoes and if she does a good job and doesn't knock down any more fences, she might work her way up to a Komatsu wheel loader.

Or maybe she won't, Corduroy Road has a backhoe and she's content in her backhoe.

Cinder Glow seemed interested in human holidays, so I decided that I'd see how she felt about Spirit Halloween and how she felt about participating in a human tradition.

In the middle of 2022, the Iceland Tourism Board created a system whereby people could have their emails answered by an actual Icelandic pony.

Flim and Flam saw a business opportunity, and jumped on it. So what if it was blatant copyright infringement; so what if their internet connection wasn't entirely legit? People would pay to have an equine answer emails, and they had access to lots of equines.

Some of them could even read.

Based on a true story.

Having a regular menu and deliveries of frozen, pre-diced vegetables once a week is boring. Going to the farmer's market every day after work and finding discounted food that will be otherwise thrown away, and then making a delicious dish out of it? That's a challenge that Parsnip can get behind.

There's no menu, and she sells out every day.

Somewhere in the storm, the van lost a window. No matter, the equipment is weatherproof and so are the pegasi.

Highway hypnosis can be cured by a trip to Starbucks. The weather ponies have never been, so what better opportunity?
