When she sees Rarity's face, Rainbow Dash decides to flee out of horror. But not to worry: it's nothing...

Twilight Sparkle is the princess of friendship. More than anypony else, she knows she cannot do anything without her friends. She also knows you are supposed to know a little bit about your friends to have the right to call them your friends.

So when she realizes she knows about nothing about her friends and especially Rarity, the regal alicorn freaks out.

This isn't a comedy, this isn't an adventure: it's simply skimming over a part of the concept of friendship.

For thousands of years, the ponies of Equestria have successfuly relied on the guidance and wisdom of the princess of the sun. Twilight herself has spent most of her childhood with her mentor with an overwhelming influence over her life.

So when she meets with a stallion that tells her he believes that Celestia actually doesn't exist, she has some "difficulties" taking him seriously.

Then things get kinda complicated...

The magic mirror has awakened, but as its purpose isn't to tell who the most beautiful pony in Equestria is, Twilight's curiosity forces her to find out what its purpose really is before the reassuring knowledge of reality is shattered by shameful lies.

Or said with simpler yet more complicated terms:
"A mirror is a flat surface that reflects light. A magic mirror is the same thing, but enchanted, so it simply doesn't just reflect light. Fun fact, there are many magic mirrors in the world."

A stallion needs wood, food and medicine. But more importantly, he needs to do what is morally right.

All under the moon's watch.

Fluttershy is a very important pony in Equestria. She is not only the bearer of the element of kindness, but the friend of a princess of Equestria, vanquisher of dragons, reformer of Discord, master of "the stare", Equestrian champion of "Shhhh" and the only living being capable of loving Angel (actually, Angel is really nice... I swear).

Fluttershy, with a few other ponies, most of which are her friends anyway, is a very special pony that will leave her mark for the thousandth of years to come because she does important stuff.

Oh, and the story is about her looking at a thistle or something. Who cares?

Mister Foster gave a bit to a white unicorn beggar.
An apple was given to the white unicorn beggar.
A dress was taken from the white unicorn beggar.
A mayor was adressed by the white unicorn beggar.

Oh, and there is soup in the middle of the whole thing. Or not. But this is mostly the story of the white unicorn beggar. Or not...

The very element of generosity has to deal with a pony looking creature that eats every single bit Rarity is giving to her with a seemingly endless hunger.

But it's all for the good cause of blarghling, so it's okay.

Dramatic reading by Night Star

Twilight Sparkle wakes up and finds out that there is a bucket laying in the middle of her bedroom for no apparent reason. It feels so odd to the alicorn that she decides to find out what this object is doing there and how it came into her home.

Wow! I did it. Can't believe I actually achieved that.
Oh, the story? Well: nothing happens in the beginning, nothing happened in the middle, nothing has happend in the end.
In other words, nothing happens in this story. At all. Just like in real life.

Here is a great and funny story from someone else in case you would like a story with actually stuff going on inside it:
The Princess of Books

What? You still feel like wasting time reading a story where nothing happens? Then I advise you not to read the ending first, because it would give up the biggest element of the plot.
Spoiler: it's that nothing happens in the end as predicted.
I warned you.
