26 Short Stories of Equestria

Starlight Glimmer, once a pony who despised cutie marks, now the princess of friendship’s student, looked into the mirror in her room, staring at her reflection until finally saying to herself: “I win.”

After another five minutes of her staring at her reflection, Starlight walks away from the mirror, then walks out of her room into the hallway.

Starlight heads over to the library in the castle, first thing she notices when in is Twilight going through a bunch of books.

“Uh, anything the problem?” She asks Twilight, who’s startled by her words.

Twilight gets up from her work and walks over to Starlight. “Well, yes. Yes to the.. problem.”

“So and that is?”

“Nothing. It’s nothing.”

“Oh.” Starlight stops what she was previously thinking, moving out of the library to let Twilight work.

Starlight decides to head outside, get some fresh air while seeing everypony in town.

“Hello yes. I’m Starlight Glimmer. What’s your name?” The newest Ponyville resident says to the meek, shy pegasus pony in front of her, though she just appears shy to her.

“Alright. If you excuse me, I must be on my way.”

The shy pony finally speaks up, though very shyly: “I’m Fluttershy.”

“Huh. What was that?”

“My name is... is Fluttershy.”

“Once more from the top?”

The pony just whimpers.

Awkward silence a few seconds later. “Well your birds have appeared to come back. I’ll leave you to it, then.” Starlight walks away from the pegasus, taking out her checklist. “See how the musical arrangement is going. Check.”

“Okay. Now that was a crazy dream.”
