Syn and Alexander

"Micro-fics, huh?" Alexander opened his beer with a tsik and sat down in his chair on the porch.

"Eeyup," Syn said, furiously typing on his phone and taking a pull from his beer.

"How many you think you'll do?"

Syn smiled at his friend. "Let's find out."

Spike and Thorax

Spike's eyes sparkled. "How about that one?"

Thorax, looking like Spike, burped the emerald onto the floor, rubbed his stomach, and groaned.

"I... I don't think Changeling biology works like that."

"Oh! I bet you'll LOVE these rubies! They're really spicy."

Thorax moaned.

Fire Streak and Misty Fly

"For the last time, MINE'S bigger!" Fire Streak snorted.

Misty Fly stomped. "Mine's TWICE as big and luxurious as yours!"

Far away, Soarin' cocked an eyebrow at his empty container of mane-styling gel. "How the hell do I keep running out of this stuff so fast?"

Trixie and Princess Celestia

Trixie smirked from on stage and motioned her hoof at Celestia, who was bound in chains with tape over her mouth.

Pear Butter and Big Mac

"Do you... approve?"

Pear Butter chuckled. "She's a fine mare," she said softly as she faded into the light. "You treat her right, ya' hear?"

Big Mac felt himself slowly wake up. He took a shaky breath, dried his tears, and smiled a broken smile. "I will, Ma'."

Starlight Glimmer and Sunburst

Starlight grimaced. Through gritted teeth, she said, "That's... greeeeeat."

Stellar Flare and Fire Light looked at her and Sunburst from across the table, holding hooves.

Sunburst grimaced, too, and whispered to Starlight, "So... Do we tell them we're dating, too?"

Fluttershy and Chrysalis

"Very good," Fluttershy said, fastening another flower into Chrysalis' mane. "How about one more time for good measure?"

Chrysalis smiled and repeated her mantra. "It's okay to like being alone, & it's good to take time for me." She reached for a flower to return the favor.

Sunburst and Sombra

Sombra stepped from the shadows. "Did you bring them?"

Sunburst hesitated. "Nopony can know about this."

"Agreed," Sombra said solemnly. "Can I be Pinkie this time?"

"Of course!"

Together, they set up Sunburst's Friendship Stable playset and played until it was long past bedtime.

Big Mac and Thunderlane

Thunderlane let the yoke fall to the newly plowed field. "S-see?"

Big Mac gave him a lemonade. "This isn't really about Wonderbolts training, is it?"

Thunderlane blushed.

"Heh heh. You don't need an excuse to visit your friends, Lane."

Thunderlane hugged him. "Missed you, buddy."

"I'll have the strawberry confit with lemon-glazed asparagus and a glass of pinot noir, if you please."

"Eh, probably just some fries."

Party Favor and Mudbriar

"You... just want a stick?" Party Favor cocked his head to the side.

"Correct," Mud Briar responded.

"Okay..." Party Favor inflated a brown balloon, pretended to twist it, and passed it over. "Here you go!"

Mud Briar smiled. "Perfect. It's so rare for somepony to just listen."

Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle

They sat in the gym. Sunset put her hand on Twilight's knee. "Do you know?"

Twilight nodded. "I suspected. The calculations all pointed to exactly one conclusion."

"...and?"

"And I'm pleased with these results."

Sunset signed contentedly and rested her head against Twilight's.

Full prompt: Sunset Shimmer confessing her love to Twi.

GLaDOS and Tempest Shadow

The computer buzzed, "You are subject 0001 for C.U.T.E. I would explain the acronym for you, but it is horrifying. The T stands for trapped, because you will not escape."

Tempest smirked. "Watch me."

Pear Butter, Applejack, & Apple Bloom

Pear Butter hoped her eyes were telling her fillies everything: that they were loved, that she would always be with them, and to take care of each other no matter what. She hoped her eyes said it all, because her mouth would never say it again.

Suggested by @theo3189

Full prompt: Pear Butter about to go to the hospital telling goodbye to filly AJ and Applebloom knowing she won't be coming home. Super duper sad.

Davenport and Cheerilee

"But if you don't need quills OR sofas, then what are you here for?" Davenport asked, stroking his chin.

Cheerilee half-lidded her eyes and drew the shades.

Davenport perked up. "Oh! You'll want Blinds and Markers. Just next door."

Cheerilee smacked her hoof to her face.

Limestone Pie and Flash Sentry

"What're YOU so sad about?" Limestone growled at Flash Sentry.

He sighed. "Nopony needs me anymore."

"Feh. Just make yourself useful."

He looked up. "Need anything guarded?"

"Nothing attacks rocks, but you could keep them from escaping."

Flash stood tall. "I won't let you down."

Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich

"Revenge!" Pinkie Pie shouted with her army of balloon animals.

"Vengeance!" Cheese Sandwich shouted back, flanked by platoons of rubber chickens.

Pinkie halted. "Oooh! Wanna have a revenge party instead of a war?"

Partying. Partying never changes.

"And I can't possibly change your mind?"

"Nnnope."

Luna walked through the gardens with Candace. She asked, "Have I not earned it?"
