Morning came and found the five friends outside Sugarcube Corner readying themselves for the trip to Canterlot. They had only been waiting a few minutes when Pinkie Pie bounced out the front door, her usual wide smile on her face and her saddlebags across her back.
“Hiya, everypony! Are you all set to go?” she asked cheerfully.
Rather than waiting for any of them to answer, she bounced off down the road. They briefly exchanged confused looks over the sudden departure before galloping off to catch up.
For a while they walked in silence. Well, mostly in silence. The only sound came from Pinkie, and most of that was some ha
The Best Medicine
Rainbow Dash flitted over Ponyville one Friday morning, snickering to herself as she headed for Sugarcube Corner. Pinkie Pie was always up for a good prank, and the one Dash had in mind would be right up her alley; not to mention she needed Pinkie’s help in acquiring the flour and food coloring that would be needed. She landed in front of the confectionary shop’s front door, still snickering as she trotted inside. The bell above the door chimed daintily and a familiar blue mare appeared from the kitchen.
“Oh, good morning, Rainbow Dash,” Mrs. Cake greeted pleasantly.
“Hiya, Mrs. Cake!
How long since I heard your laugh?
How long since I heard your sweet voice?
How long since your words soothed my troubled heart?
How long must I live with this emptiness?
How long?
How long?
Taken so long ago,
Seems forever now,
It doesn't feel fair,
To lose one so close to you,
To have to go on without her
With only her memory as a comfort.
How long since I felt your love?
How long since I last saw your kind eyes?
How long since I was comforted by your lullabies?
How long must I endure without you?
How long?
How long?
It wasn't your fault,
That you left so suddenly,
Without a "good-bye", without a hug,
I know that now af

"Well, we've heard about Rarity, Twilight, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie," Princess Luna said with an entertained smile as she skimmed over her notepad, "That just leaves Fluttershy and Applejack." She looked up across the table to the only stallion present with them. "Big Macintosh, would you be so kind to give your account so we can finish this delightful narrative?"
"Delightful for you, maybe," Dash muttered under her breath, earning her a silencing glare from Twilight.
Macintosh sunk lower in his seat in an effort to go unnoticed; he knew it was impossible to hide his massive frame from everyone, but he was willing to try.

"Are you feeling better, Twilight Sparkle?" the Princess of the night asked.
"A little bit, Princess, thank you," Twilight allowed, taking a long sip from her glass of water before softly setting it back on the table.
At a glance, it appeared little had changed in the appearance of the group in the twenty minutes since Princess Luna had finished relating Twilight's mishap from the night before. However, closer inspection would reveal an empty plate that once held a sandwich in front of Big Macintosh and bowls of salad ranging from partially eaten to just a few leaves remaining at Fluttershy, Rarity, and Luna's places. As for th

Rarity inhaled deeply, letting the pleasant aroma of her drink fill her nostrils. The snifter glass gently shifted about, buoyed by her magical aura, and its burgundy contents swirled along the transparent walls. She tipped the glass to her lips, gracefully sipping its contents in a way that only years of cultured drinking could imbue. A satisfied smile crossed her lips as the cognac warmed her throat as it drained to her stomach. She was almost finished with her third glass of the night, which would put her just at her tolerance level for this particular bever

She panted, heart pounding as she stood in the center of town. She could hear the blood coursing through the veins in her ears, sounding like the roar of a distant ocean. Her mind was numb, barely registering where she was or that she was covered with a sticky red substance, the pungent scent of copper filling the air. Her eyes slowly fell to an object on the ground: a stained knife that glinted in the midday sun. Next to it was a growing red pool. Her eyes trained on the pool and slowly moved to its source.
The deed had been done.

"Outback Outtakes"
Ayers Rock loomed in the distance, its features accented by the afternoon Australian sun. Not too far away, Monterey Jack kicked up red sand as he ran for all he was worth.
"'Trust me' she said, 'I need help' she said, HAH!" he scoffed out loud.
"Well, how was I supposed to know that sheila'd set us up for a trap?" his companion, a kangaroo rat, asked as he hopped alongside him, matching his breakneck speed, "Besides, she looked like she was tellin' the truth."
Monty laughed and vaulted over a rock, "Jake Flatbush, the only thing you were lookin' at were those big green eyes of hers! Ya've always been a sucker for cute
