Some investment schemes just don't work in Equestria.

Long before Nightmare and Elements, primary school students Rarity & Applejack were forced to cooperate in order to defeat the most fearsome foe ever imagined: a teenager.

Keeping a newborn's uncontrolled magic from wrecking the house during a foalsitting evening requires an experienced professional! -- or a teenager who hasn't figured out what the job actually requires. (The teenager is initially cheaper.)

Really, fixing Rarity's chipped tooth will be no trouble at all! She just needs to take a quick sip of dental potion and... what do you mean, 'they don't exist'?

Equestria's newest Hearth's Warming craze is the gift clock: a new present every day for the entire moon. It's perfectly natural for the Bearers to try a few out! And it's not as if the riot was completely their fault!

The good news: having her false ID summoned for jury duty means Chrysalis' disguise is perfect. The bad: running out on it would break her cover. (Why do queens always wind up with the hard decisions?)

Joanna knows that among all the entities (human and pony) to exist in Equestria, she's the only one not consigned to eternal damnation. She doesn't understand why everyone else has a problem with this.

When a new mission for the Element-Bearers (from an unexpected source) arrives three weeks after Twilight's ascension, she finds herself forced to confront a pair of questions: what truly makes an alicorn? And what happens if it goes wrong?

On the night Equestria's very first chocolate shop closes its doors for the last time, its oldest customer returns to make one final purchase.

Crashing the costume party seemed like such a good idea at the time.

When the Bearers locate a hidden village whose occupants believe in having their bodies covered at all times, Rarity initially thinks she's found her people. Initially.

One lucky Equestrian toy company has the rights to create the first-ever action figures of the Bearers. (Nopony said it was good luck.)

The question isn't 'How could advertising a Back To School sale one week into summer vacation lead to a youth boycott of Barnyard Bargains?' The question is 'How could it not?'

A hunk of space rock crash-lands in the middle of the Acres. And since this is Ponyville, Applejack quickly learns that was the easy part.

Because there is nothing a compulsive reorganizer hates so much as being compulsively reorganized.
