The Great and Powerful Trixie cares not for performative norms. She will go out, dazzle the crowd, and be utterly, flawlessly spectacular for every single show. No exceptions. Such is her skill, she doesn’t even need to practice her tricks beforehand.

Except, that is, when she performs with a lowly subordinate lovely assistant in the form of Starlight Glimmer, who believes it better to go through the performance several times in private. What a waste of time, the run up to a show should be spent preparing for curtseys and resting ones autographing hoof. What could possibly go wrong?

In a crisp, clean, white office, important business is carried out. Crucial, some might say, depending on how they prioritise things. But even in a fantastical place such as this, there are limits. Budgetary limits, for example. So when a new starter wanders outside the lines a bit, they need to be set straight. There are rules, after all. The last thing anypony wants is to have to get Equine Resources involved.

This story is a sequel to Wonderbirds: Deluge of Flame

'Calling Equestrial Rescue, we need your help. My name is Bright Star, I'm the acting director of STEED. We have a number of ongoing missions, our most recent being the establishment of a mobile research lab on the planet Marecury. For the last two months the crew have been in constant communication with our main hub back here in Equestria, but about three hours ago we lost contact. The lab is a mobile platform in constant motion to stay out of sunlight, as the heat of daylight on Marecury would destroy it in minutes. Our satellites show it has stopped moving. Only you can get there before the next sunrise.'

Crossover with the hit 1960's TV show Thunderbirds, which is the property of the Gerry Anderson Legacy and ITV Studios.

Wonderbirds is a series of standalone, episodic one-shots and shorts, not set in a linear narrative to each other. Though presented as a series of stories, you do not have to have read previous ones to understand the narrative in each one.

In a quiet corner of a nondescript pocket dimension, somewhere adjacent (and slightly to the left) of an unfathomable writhing tempest of antimatter, between an Ikea and the caged spirit of Asmodeus, exists a draconequus. He has thoughts he needs to put down onto paper, some strongly worded thoughts for an irksome purple princess.

In the humble barn at Sweet Apple Acres, friends and family begin to assemble. Today is Applejack and Rainbow Dash’s wedding, and those in attendance expect a somewhat modest and subdued affair, considering the rustic aesthetic and calm surroundings.

Anypony foolish enough to actually believe that has clearly never met Applejack or Rainbow Dash. But it will definitely be a day to remember.

Finally, it was here. Power Ponies issue number four-hundred and nineteen, the grand finale of the 'Spectacular Siege of the Silver Stallion' arc. Spike had completed all the chores on his list, finished his afternoon nap, and ploughed through his dinner. He'd even eaten all his green vegetables. At last he could settle down, with a small bowl of gems to snack on, and experience the most anticipated comic issue in living memory.

Sadly for him, Twilight was acting strange. At least, stranger than usual.

For context, set prior to the events of the Season 4 Finale 'Twilight's Kingdom'.

In the months following the restoration of magic to the land, Princess Pipp Petals sets her mind to a new task: cataloguing her family tree. In a new era of peace and co-operation, she learns more about her heritage than she ever could have imagined. But one missing piece still remains, one branch left to track down. If her research has led her true, then she'll find it in the most curious of places.

A short writing exercise for myself inspired by a great many thousand-word-limit stories I've seen on this site! Also my first stab at a G5 story, and overall I'm rather pleased with the result.

This story is a sequel to Wonderbirds: Beneath the Abyss

'Calling Equestrial Rescue, this is General Dapper of the Indoneighsian Army. We have been assisting with the evacuation of all settlements in the vicinity of Mount Kraken, a volcano that has been ejecting ash for several hours now. The cloud already covers an area hundreds of miles wide, but we expect a full-scale eruption very soon. We have had to abandon our rescue efforts due to increasing seismic activity, but there is still a small group of ponies unaccounted for. Our reports indicate they were hiking near the mountain, but we can find no sign of them. Time is short, can you help us?'

'Calling Equestrial Rescue, this is Deepsea Echo laboratory currently operating out of the Mareiana Trench. We were hit by some unpredicted seismic activity and in our attempt to evacuate, one of the escape pods malfunctioned. To our best understanding the docking clamps have failed to release fully but the water seal between the doors has breached, so we're trapped inside the pod. The lab is at a depth of six point eight nautical miles and the pod only has an oxygen supply to last us a few hours. Please, Equestrial Rescue if you can hear this message... help us. You're our only hope.'
