Starlight learns more about her Best Friend

Starlight learns more about her best friend

Starlight is with her old friend Sunburst, him staying in Ponyville while his home in the Crystal Empire is right now being fumigated due to crystal termites.

So as a friend, Starlight agreed to let him stay at the castle.

"So, what you wanna do now?" Starlight asks her friend, Sunburst just getting done unpacking what he brought in his room.

"Oh, I don't know. What do you wanna do?"

"Well..."

* * *

"Wow! Who knew the annual Ponyville fun fair was gonna be so much fun?!"

"Ah well it is in the name. FUN fair."

The two ponies had just visited the annual Ponyville fun fair, an annual tradition that had just started last year.

"Well that was fun. So, what you wanna do now?" Sunburst ask Starlight.

"Well..."

* * *

"Well, that was..., okay, I guess."

"I agree."

The two ponies were just exiting the Hayburger, as tonight was stand-up comedy night there.

"Ah well, look at the time." Sunburst looks up at the night sky. "Better get to bed. I've got a lot of things to do still tomorrow."

"Aye yep."

The two ponies walk back to the castle of friendship.

Starlight had learned something new about her friend.

That being that Sunburst isn't a fan of stand-up comedy.

Cranky Doodle uses the Wrong Deodorant

Cranky Doodle uses the wrong deodorant

Cranky Doodle is in his bathroom, in front of the mirror as he puts on his daily dose of deodorant.

After finishing and putting the deodorant can back in the medicine cabinet, Cranky walks out of the bathroom, into the kitchen where his wife Matilda is.

She takes one long sniff of him. “My my. You smell rather awfully feminine today.”

“Really? Wouldn’t know why.” Cranky says back, putting on his usual wig, about to head out.

“Oh while you’re out. You wouldn’t mind picking up another one of your deodorant spray. You could use another.”

“Don’t need it. I still have plenty more.” Cranky says right before he opens the front door.

“Really? When I checked earlier you were basically all out.”

“All out? But if my deodorant is all out, then what did I-“ Cranky is interrupted by his own thought.

“Well, now at least I know that you still have enough, dear.”

Twilight and the Paper Shredder

Twilight is at her desk, inside the castle of friendship, looking through all the important paperwork she has to get done.

Whether it being a ten page report on garden economics or the usual proposed law the ponies would ask of her, this law proposing that there should be an official curfew.

Luckily Twilight had just the thing for paperwork like this.

Levitating out from the supply closet comes her paper shredder, a gift she'd received from Sunset Shimmer the last time she saw her.

"I really should go back and pay her a visit sometime." Twilight just shrugs it off, placing the shredder right by her side, turning it on next.

Twilight levitates in the air a bunch of paperwork from her desk. "Let's see..., five day report on the Cakes' shop." She takes the paperwork over to the shredder, soon after shredding the document. "Report on the surroundings of the Everfree Forest." Twilight shreds it too. "Ponyville Schoolhouse annual report of students' grades." Twilight shreds it. "A letter from Princess Celestia herself warning me that Tirek has escaped from Tartarus and to immediately take action." She shreds it too.

"I just love you ol' paper shredder of mine." Twilight says while hugging it. "I don't know what I'll do without you."

Spike goes to the nearest 7-Eleven

Spike is on the train to Canterlot.

Why?

Because it's the only city in Equestria that has a 7-Eleven.

* * *

After getting off the train and walking a few miles east, Spike had finally arrived at 7-Eleven.

"Finally made it." Spike says in relief.

Walking into the store, Spike goes over to the slushie machine, seeing the flavors being Colt ta Cola, blue, green, and yellow gem flavored, Lemonade, and the as always, the usual, Sprite Cranberry flavored.

Spike grabs the largest cup there is, the cup being fifty ounces, and mixing all together different flavors.

As soon as Spike is done, adding on the lid and the straw, he walks over to the counter.

"One big 50 ounce gulp. Is that all for you sir?" The high school drop-out who now works as a cashier says.

"That should be it." Spike says as he takes out the bits needed, handing them over to the cashier.

"Thank you for your patronage sir. Have a wonderful, gulp -tastic day." The cashier smiles cheesily.

"Okay. Thanks."

Spike walks out of the store, slurping on his drink as he walks back to the train station.

Comet Tail x Twilight Sparkle

Comet Tail is in his living room, sitting in his usual green reclining chair.

Looking to his right he sees a light red reclining chair next to him, sitting in it though being a big framed picture of Princess Twilight Sparkle herself.

"I love you too." Comet says to his framed princess.

Just then the doorbell rings.

Comet gets up from his chair, first going over to give the picture a small kiss before finally going to the door.

Comet opens the door, only to reveal on the outside Princess Twilight herself, her smiling brightly.

Seeing his pony crush waifu at his actual door, Comet looks as if he'd just wet himself in front of the class while sharing his book report.

"Hello there. I'm here to tell you that all your tax dollars, should you pay, shall go towards building a special school I'm planning. If you'd let me in, I can explain more."

Comet though looks the more shell-shocked.

"So um, is that a yes?"

Comet Tail finally speaks up: "YES! I mean, it's a yes. Come on in." He motions his hoof to her, wide smile.

Twilight looks at him questionably. "Well okay."

Seeing his pony crush walk in, Comet gets a sudden burst of happiness.

"Just don't go into the living room!" He yells to her.

"What was that?" Twilight says right as she walks into the living room.

Whoops.

Comet runs right into the living room, seeing as Twilight hasn't yet seen that he has a big framed picture of her.

"You alright? We can do this later if you want-." Twilight is interrupted when she sees that this pony has a big framed picture of herself, sitting in a chair no less.

Comet thinks to himself, of how weird she'd think he is.

"You have a picture frame of me in your house." Twilight smiles for a bit. "I thought I was the only one."

"Wha...?"

Twilight brings out a photograph, on it being what looks like a big framed picture of Comet Tail himself, seated on one of the castle's throne.

"WTF?"

King Sombra asks Anypony if they want a Sprite Cranberry

King Sombra asks anypony if they want a Sprite Cranberry

King Sombra had returned!!!

This time he appears more unstoppable than ever.

Making his way to Ponyville, Sombra arrives at the home of Golden Harvest and Written Script, knocking down the door completely as he reaches it.

Inside, both ponies holding each other, both rightfully scared out of their minds, seeing as one of Equestria's most evilest, baddest villain enter their home.

As Sombra nears the two, giving a slight cough first before asking them both: "Wanna Sprite Cranberry?"

Derpy Hooves' Mailmare Adventure

Another boring day at Ponyville Post office.

Derpy Hooves at the counter, bored as she ever was.

Until coming through the door is the master of chaos himself, Discord.

Derpy smiles wide at the sight of him.

Discord walks over to the counter. "Hello yes." He magically makes a small package appear next to him. "I need you to deliver this here package to my dear friend Fluttershy."

"Uh huh. It's a done deal." Derpy flies over to the package, taking it up with her hooves.

"Oh I should mention that it's not an ordinary package, but a magic package. Also be careful. It's so fragile that a small simple leaf could ruin it."

"Huh, oh no." Derpy holds the package tighter against herself.

"Also it has to be delivered today."

"Today?" Derpy looks uncertain, then confident. "We can do this."

"Oh what a relief. If you need me, I'll be in my own dimension doing Celestia knows what." Discord snaps his finger to make himself look like a fighter pilot, wearing jacket, sunglasses and all that. "I'll see you later, maybe." Discord magically appears outside, floating away.

"Weird. Now to deliver this package." Derpy says happily.

* * *

Walking to Fluttershy's cottage, Derpy Hooves delivering the package from Discord.

"I can do this. I will." Saying to herself before seeing both Lyra and Bon Bon in her way, looking like they want to ask her something.

"No time girls. I've got a package, and it must be delivered today."

"Okay. Anyway-" Lyra is interrupted by Derpy just walking away.

"Sorry, but I can't talk right now. I've got a job to do."

After another ten minutes, Derpy arrives at Fluttershy's cottage, going over to knock on the door.

A minute later and Fluttershy answers it.

"Hello there. You needing anything?"

"Why yes!" Derpy shows the package to her. "I've got a package here from a-" Derpy looks at an index card. "A Mr. Cord."

"Oh." Fluttershy takes the package from her, signing for it, then immediately opening it.

Inside the package was nothing.

Fluttershy chuckles to herself as Discord magically appears between the two.

"Huzzah!"

Derpy chuckles to herself too, then walking away to go back to the post office.

Gallus and the Opening of a Peanut Butter Jar

Gallus and the opening of a peanut butter jar

It's a nice sunny day at the school of friendship.

Being a typical Saturday of no classes, Gallus is out walking in the halls, looking to pass the time.

Until he sees his friend, Silverstream, here also, though her not noticing him as she appears to be struggling to open a peanut butter jar.

“Hey Silverstream. You good?” Gallus asks as he walks up to her.

Looking up from the jar, she answers back: “I’m doing fine. Just wish I can open this jar of peanut buttery goodness.”

“Hmm, let me have a crack at it.”

Silverstream hands Gallus the peanut butter jar.

Gallus puts both claws on it, hoping he can do it easily.

Though Gallus too appears to struggle opening the lid, trying to use all his strength.

After five minutes of Gallus accomplishing nothing, another fellow student (unicorn mare) walks over to them.

“Hi there! You need some help with that?” She asks him.

Not getting an answer, she just takes the jar right out of his claws with her magic, and with just one strong magical push, she succeeds in getting it open.

Jaw dropped and shocked, Gallus just stares at the pony, thinking of how easy that was.

“Okay.” She hands it back to Silverstream. “You don’t think he’s mad at me, do you?” She says, pointing to a still shocked Gallus.

“I doubt it.” Silverstream just waves it off. “Thanks anyway.”

“What are friends for.”

Pinkie Pie gives Applejack an Apple Pie

Pinkie Pie gives Applejack an apple pie

“Here. I made this apple pie, just for you.” Pinkie hands Applejack a freshly made apple pie, smile on her face.

“Well geez Pinkie. Thanks.”

“No problem. Since we still don’t know if we’re actually related, i just wanted to make you something as a friendly gift.”

“Well okay. I am just about done with my chores here. How ‘bout we both go have a slice?”

“Sounds fun!”

So Pinkie and Applejack both walk over to the Apple’s barn, heading to the kitchen.

AJ cuts out one slice, placing it on a plate then giving to Pinkie. Doing the exact same for her.

After they both finish eating their slice, AJ congratulates Pinkie on her work.

“That had to be one of the best you’ve ever made.”

“Ah thanks. I just like doing what I do.”

“Uh huh. You know who else would like this?” Applejack starts yelling for Applebloom to come to the kitchen.

Though after about three minutes she still didn’t arrive yet.

“Not like her to ignore her big sister like this.”

“Oh don’t worry about her. I’m sure Applebloom is enjoying the pie with us right now.”

Ocellus and Sandbar study for a Test

Ocellus and Sandbar study for a test

Ocellus and Sandbar were both in the library of the school of friendship.

Textbooks open, notes from class out, the two creatures had everything they needed to help study for Professor Applejack’s honesty in friendship test.

“Okay. Now where to begin?” Sandbar asks.

“I would think we should do a quick run through first of all the lessons we’ve learned.” Ocellus says, both starting to get to the page in their notes of all the lessons learned in class.

“Okay.” Sandbar gives a yawn. “Honestly is an important part of friendship.” Giving another yawn, now talking sleepishly. “And-“ Sandbar just falls to sleep, head on the desk.

Ocellus gives a slight yawn. “Come on.. wake up. We got a-“ Ocellus passes out too, head on the desk.

Both creatures are now sleeping when they should be busy studying.

(The Next Morning in Professor Applejack’s Class)

“Howdy every creature! I hope you all are prepared for the test today.”

Both Sandbar and Ocellus look to each other nervously.

Starlight meets her Old Self

Starlight meets her old self

It was a cool summer night.

Starlight Glimmer sleeping away, leaving a window open to let in the cool air, all while dreaming of the usual.

Usually, Starlight would dream about her and her friends just hanging out.

Though for tonight, she would get a different one.

(Dream)

Starlight dreamt of herself somewhere familiar, her old village to be exact.

"Why would I dream of this place? Again?"

Starlight walks over to her old cottage, the very same place she lived.

Right as she neared closer to it, the front door opens, and revealing on the other side is, well, her herself.

But the old, evil her.

"You?! I thought-"

"You thought what?" Old Starlight interrupts her. "That you got rid of me? That you changed your mind?!"

"But, I did. And you should no longer exist." Starlight shows her new confident, good side.

"You thought sure." Old Starlight levitates out six jars, each one containing one of the Mane 6's cutie marks. "You remember. You remember how these CURSED things took away our only friend!" She lets go of all six jars, them all breaking into a million little pieces on the ground, the cutie marks inside of them evaporating.

"I do remember. But I have changed. And you can't tell me what to do!" With a stomp of her hoof, a strong gust of wind blows away the old Starlight into dust.

Why would Starlight have a dream like this?

Who knows.

Magical Mystery Cure, but it goes Differently

Magical Mystery Cure, but it goes differently

Tonight is the night where everything changes for Twilight Sparkle.

Hearing a knock on the door, Twilight opens it to find a mail delivery pony on the other side.

“I’ve got a package here for you from Princess Celestia herself.”

“A package? Couldn’t you wait ‘til tomorrow to deliver it? You do know that it’s nine thirty at night, don’t cha?”

“M’am, please don’t tell me how to do my job.”

The pony hands over the package to her. Twilight grabbing it with her magic, looking at the box closely.

Right as the mail deliverer brings out a clipboard for her to sign she closes the door in his face.

Twilight walks to the middle of the Golden Oaks Library floor.

“To Twilight Sparkle, from Princess Celestia.” Twilight carefully opens the package with her magic.

Taking out all the protective paper first, Twilight finds the thing Celestia sent her.

That thing being one simple can of Red Bull.

“Uh, why would the princess send me this?” Twilight though just strugs it off.

Opening the can and taking a big swig of energy drink goodness when *POOF*

Twilight soons finds herself on the library’s floor, looking behind her to see a pair of wings all of a sudden.

“Huh?”

Just then, Princess Celestia magically teleports into the room.

“Congratulations Twilight! You have been most worthy. From now on you shall be known as ‘Princess Twilight Sparkle’, the princess of friendship!”

“Huh?!?!?!?!”

Mane 6 Adventures: The Case of the Cutie Map

The throne room inside the castle of friendship was packed.

Everyone who’s ever been called by the map are all in there, cutie marks (and scales) glowing, meaning potentially a friendship quest.

“So let me get this straight. It appears that everypony-“

“And dragon!” Spike interrupts Twilight.

“And dragon, that’s been called before is being called now by the map again. But why?”

“We don’t have the slightest clue either.” Applebloom speaks for her friends.

“Me neither.” Starlight says next.

Then just now, all of their marks appear on the map, all twelve hovering over what looks like an old, rickety wooden shack, its location in a barren, grass field somewhere between the White Tail Woods and Vanhoover.

“Well, that explains... something.” Fluttershy says.

Cozy Glow thinks about Gallus

Inside of Tartarus, trapped in her cell alongside the master stealer of magic himself, Tirek.

Cozy Glow was bored inside her cell almost everyday.

Everyday she was so bored that she started to think of ways on how to escape, then claim her revenge on the creatures who’d put her here.

Thinking about those creatures, Cozy specifically thinks a lot about that griffin one.

Gallus was the name.

Soon enough, every second that passed was another second thinking about Gallus.

Cozy thinking of how somecreature, who grew up around a bunch of selfish, rough, and greedy griffins could possibly turn out all heartwarming and sweet (on the inside maybe, at least).

Some things are better left unanswered.

Then Cozy starting thinking about him some more.

Like how when the sun was raised right his feathers would give off a nice, warm glow.

Or how he held the door open for her once during her first day at the school.

For hours upon end Cozy would think of nothing but Gallus.

Then when night fell and everyone in Tartarus was asleep, Cozy would dream of her and Gallus. Together. Two by two. Pony and griffin.

“Oh dear. I think wittle ‘ol Cozy here, has a problem.”

Rainbow Dash goes on Vacation

“Now THIS, is a relaxing vacation.” Rainbow Dash says as she relaxes herself on a lounge chair on the main deck of the S.S. Relaxation. A cruise that only operates once every five years.

“Seriously, after everything that’s happened, I need this.” Rainbow relaxes a little while longer before noticing that everypony seems to be staring at her.

“Uh, anything wrong?” Her acting a bit nervous.

“Uh huh.” One random pony next to her says before pointing towards her flank, which appears to be glowing.

“OH COME ON!!!!!!”

The Cutie Remark but this is fine

Starlight Glimmer had just changed the past!!!

Twilight and Spike find themselves out in the open, the friendship map being right where it usually is, but like, no friendship castle.

"What just happened?" Spike says confused about the whole situation.

"What happened is that pony changed the past to make sure that me and my friends never met. Got it?" Twilight explains to him.

"Okay. But one question though. Why does everything still look like nothing ever happened in the first place?" Spike asks after looking over the surrounding area.

Twilight looks at her surroundings too, seeing that Ponyville just, still looked the same as always.

"Oh."

Twilight and Spike walk farther into Ponyville, seeing everything still looking perfectly normal.

"There must be something here that's more than meets the eye. But what?" Twilight think to herself for a while before Spike gets her attention.

"Uh Twilight, I think you may want to see this." Spike says to Twilight after seeing that in Ponyville town square is a statue. A statue of the six ponies of Derpy Hooves, Doctor Whooves, Lyra, Sweetie Drops, DJ Pon3, and Octavia. All six of them posing heroically.

Twilight steps closer to it, looking at the thing with shock.

Spike walks over to the plaque by the statue, reading: "Here to honor the six ponies who braved both the notorius villains of Nightmare Moon and Discord."

Rarity and the Fashion Magazine

Rarity takes another look at the clock, showing it's three o'seven now.

"Ooh, where could that mail pony be? You don't think he's in danger. Oh I don't think I could ever live if he isn't here any time soon."

Just then the doorbell rings all throughout the boutique, causing Rarity to run over (ladylike of course) to the door.

Getting there in, as Rainbow would say, ten seconds flat, She opens the door only to reveal on the other side Pinkie Pie herself.

"Hiya! I think that was the fastest you've ever answered the door." Pinkie gives her usual happy smile and squee.

"Oh well Miss Pie, if you must know. I am simply waiting for the mail to deliver. I don't know if you know but I've just now only recently sent a model of my newest creation to this new fashion magazine. I think It’s called-"

"Fashion Pony Monthly TImes Squared!" Squee.

"How did you know-"

"'Cause of this!" Pinkie interrupts her again as she appears in her hoof the same fashion magazine she'd just mentioned. The issue being specifically addressed to Rarity.

Seeing this, Rarity snatches it out of her hoof, quickly opening up to the page.

"If you're wondering why, it appears it was "accidentally" sent to me instead of you." Pinkie says as Rarity opens to the page.

"Okay, here we are." Rarity would read just one sentence before throwing a tantrum.

"POSTMODERN CLASSICAL!?!?!?! WHY THESE PONIES WOULDN'T KNOW FASHION IF IT HIT THEM IN THE HEAD!!!!" Rarity marches back into her boutique, blowing off loads of steam.

"That was weird." Pinkie picks the magazine up, going over to read what exactly made her so angry.

"This dress, while not being as unique, is still a perfect example of a postmodern classic."

The Starlight Renaissance

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.”

Mane 6 Adventures: Going and Seeing what the Problem is

Mane 6 Adventures: Going and Seeing what the problem is

After the train ride to Vanhoover and a three hour walk afterwards, all twelve ponies that were called by the map had made it to the location they were called to.

The ponies arrive in a barren, grass field, there being nothing but grass for hundred of miles on end.

Until off in the distance they see what the map brought them there for.

An old, rickety wooden shack.

“That must be what we’re here for.” Twilight says. “Anypony wanna do the honors?”

All eleven of them look to one another, then to Twilight.

“Okay. I’ll do it.”

Twilight walks up to the shack’s door, takes a short breath, then knocks on the door.

It would be exactly three minutes before they get an answer.

Opening the door a crack slightly, the pony speaks to them all: “Huh? Took ya long enough.”

“What?”

The pony fully opens the door, revealing to everypony to be an earth pony mare, having a purple coat, and a pink, purple, and white mane.

“Hello. I am Wysteria. I’ve been expecting you.”

Author's Note

Wysteria is a pony from G3.

Legends of Wysteria’s Field

“Wysteria. You mean THE Wysteria. The same Wysteria who vanquished monsters. The same Wysteria who rewrote many books on magic. The same Wysteria who-“

“Alright we get it. Wysteria’s awesome.” Rainbow Dash interrupts Twilight.

“Awesome is an understatement. Try awesome times infinity plus one!”

“Infinity plus one eh? Sounds like you're a big fan.” Wysteria says.

Twilight starts taking big, long breaths, starting to act a little crazy.

“Is she gonna be alright?” Wysteria asks them all concerned.

“Oh don’t worry about it. She gets like this way too many times to count.” Spike answers her.

“Okay. Now back to business. I’m sure you are all wondering why you’re here, correct?”

Everypony but Twilight shakes their heads sideways.

“Good. Wait here while I make us some tea. We’ve got a lot to talk about.”

***

After about thirty minutes of tea making, all twelve ponies plus Wysteria sit haunches down on the grass, each one with a cup of tea.

“Now. You are all here for a very important mission. And to understand how important it is, I must share with you the history of this place.” Wysteria quickly runs back into her shack, coming back out with a big book.

Opening to a certain page, she begins reading: “Once upon a time, or more like fifty years ago, right in this field here lived a great abundance of ponies. Ponies of every age, and race living together in perfect harmony.” A tear comes to her eye while reading, remembering of all the good times she's had. “Until one day, when a lonely centaur named Galbus came to our happy village and destroyed it, as just the thought of ponies getting along bothered him, so he decided to take everything away. Leaving us with nothing but our friendship remaining, and that soon went away too.” She starts to become sad, trying desperately to hold in her tears, as she remembers fondly of her friends walking away. “And it was terrible. Soon, everypony left our ruined village. Leaving only me here to try to remake it to how it once was.” She closes the book shut. “So you know why you’re here yet?”

“Pardon me but that story sounds horrible.” Pinkie says in response to the story.

“Uh huh.” Applejack says next.

“I know.” Wysteria says sadly. “But if we don’t want this to happen again then we must act now.”

“Sounds good. Point the way.” Rainbow flies into the air.

“What we need to do is simple: defeat and banish Galbus next time he shows up. Problem is, we don’t where he will be when he shows up again.” Wysteria puts hoof to her chin.

“Hmm, I think I may know somepony, or somedraconequus who can help.”

Everypony looks to Twilight.

Of Discords and Glimmers

“OH PLEASE CAN YOU HELP US!!!!”

“Eh. I don’t know.” Discord just strugs at Twilight’s plea for help.

Everypony involved in the mission were looking for a centaur that may want to destroy their lands and friendships like it did with Wysteria’s village.

“But why not? I’ll do anything for you.” Twilight grabs onto one of Discord’s legs. “I’ll.. I’ll let you turn Ponyville into whatever you want for a day. Just please, please help us!”

“Or really.” Discord crosses his arms.

“Well maybe not entirely but I’ll let you do anything. Pinkie Pie promise.”

“Hmm... alright. I’ll agree to your plan.”

“Oh thank you thank you!” Twilight says as she gives Discord a big, tight hug.

Discord teleports himself out of it. “On one condition though.” Discord makes appear a scroll, opening it up to reveal it being real long, then reads from it. “I would only help if you and your friends started recognizing me as part of the gang, and start inviting me to all of your formal gatherings.” With a snap, the scroll disappears.

“That’s it. You just wanna be extra close with us.”

“Is that gonna be a problem?”

“Why no. I’ll.. make sure to tell my friends about it.” Twilight gives a cheesy smile.

“Really now? Aren’t you forgetting something?” Discord crosses his arms a second time.

“Like what?”

“You tell me.” Discord magically makes Twilight appear in front of a blackboard, her being dressed in an old timey teacher outfit, where Discord has himself at a desk, dressed in a sailor outfit. “You are a teacher of friendship. And any friendship teacher knows that friends won’t try to force somepony to join their group. Honestly Twilight, it’s almost embarrassing.” Discord snaps the whole thing away.

Twilight blushes a deep shade of red, being embarrassed a little.

“You do have a weird way of being friends.”

Discord smiles at the thought.

“Oh and it’s a yes. Just tell me when you’ll need me.” Discord says before snapping himself out of the area.

***

Twilight was in the library, studying up on centaurs and how to defeat them.

When soon enough, Starlight Glimmer enters the room.

“Hey Twilight. There’s something I need to say. About this whole situation.”

“Uh huh. Tell me your troubles.” Twilight says while still reading.

Starlight gives a deep breath. “Okay. So you know how the map called us all when the pony of shadows was out there.”

Twilight puts down her book. “Yeah.”

“And how it turned out to be a friendship problem.”

“Sure. Go on.”

“Well I just think that, what if it’s like that again? We don’t know much, if not anything about the guy. What if it’s another pony of shadows like situation?”

“I see your questioning. I really do. But like you said, we don’t know much about the guy. It would be awfully risky to try to make friends with him.”

“I see.” Starlight walked back into the hall, head down in defeat.

Twilight looking at her pupil concerningly.

Trip to Tartarus

Twilight and Spike both went on a trip.

A trip to the same place that houses all of Equestria’s villains.

After opening (and closing) the big double doors to the place, and getting passed Cerberus, the two find themselves at the cell that currently holds Tirek.

“Well, if it isn’t the princess of friendship. Back so soon?” Tirek says at the sight of the two.

“Tirek.” Twilight says sinisterly.

“Cozy Glow!” Cozy says cheerfully.

“Yeah, remind me again why Cozy’s locked up in here again.” Spike says quietly to himself, scratching his head.

“So, why are you here? Here to gloat about defeating my plan without you actually doing anything?” Tirek says jokingly.

“No, as a matter of fact. We’re here to ask if you know anything about another centaur, like yourself called Galbus.”

Tirek looks at the two in surprise, then starts to sweat nervously. “Why, what do you wanna know?”

Twilight levitates out a map of Wysteria’s field. “‘Cause it appears that he’s back. And that he wants to ruin the lives of everypony I know-.”

“Oh nononono. You must be mistaken. There is no defeating him. Only banishment.”

“Really? And how do you know?” Twilight asks.

“Oh it’s nothing. You must leave this place NOW!”

Right as Twilight’s about to speak, Spike coughs up a letter from the princess, most likely.

She takes the scroll, opening it up and reading aloud: “The Galbus has returned, and it’s in Ponyville right now.”

Twilight immediately drops the scroll and starts running towards the door, Spike doing the same, though trying to catch up more like it.

As both Twilight and Spike exit Tartarus, Tirek says to himself: “Galbus. That’s a name I’ve haven’t heard in a long while.”

Yona and Smolder talk about Boys

Yona and Smolder talk about boys

Smolder was in her dormitory, chillaxing on her bed when an angry Yona comes in, slamming the door shut.

Noticing her friend’s mood, Smolder asks: “Uh, everything alright?”

“Yak is not fine. Ponies at this school drive yak crazy.”

“Uh huh. And how so?”

“Why, just now, friend Sandbar looked at yak weird.”

“That’s Sandbar for ya.” Smolder rolls her eyes.

“Yak knows.”

“Speaking of which, I too have had ponies look at me differently. Boys mostly.”

“Really?” Yona places her hoof up to face. “Dragon don’t think what yak think.”

“And that is?”

“Ponies look at dragon and yak differently because ponies like us.”

Smolder’s eyes get wide. “I.. I don’t know.” Smolder gets up, sitting on the edge of the bed. “But, now that you’d mention it. I have noticed some of the boys in our class look at me funny too.”

“Friend don’t think.”

Smolder gives a smirk.

“Hmm, now that dragon mentions it, yak had noticed extra attention from Sandbar.”

Smolder looks to her friend.

“Oh nono, pony and yak just friends.”

Smolder crosses her arms.

“But now that dragon friend mention it, yak do have something to say.” Yona goes over to whisper into Smolder’s ear. “Yak think pony is cute.”

“Well dang.” Smolder quickly looks around the room. “Since we’re on the topic, I do kind of, I don’t know, feel a certain way for a certain pony.”

“Really? Oh, YAK MUST KNOW!” Yona says loudly, Smolder placing her claw over her mouth to try not to bring too much attention to their room.

“Yak sorry.” Yona says more quietly. “But still, who is he?”

“Well uh,yeah, it’s awkward.”

“Oh-.”

Yona is interrupted by the door opening, revealing on the other side Silverstream and Ocellus.

“Hey guys!” Silverstream greets them.

“We heard shouting. Anything wrong?” Ocellus asks the two.

“Well, now that you-”

“We’re just talking. Talking about... school stuff.” Smolder interrupts Yona, giving a fake, cheesy smile.
“Okay.” Silverstream says as her and Ocellus leave the two be, closing the door behind them.

“Dragon friend alright?” Yona says after the two leave.

“I shouldn’t talk about it.”

Yona places her hoof around Smolder. “Dragon is friend. Friend can trust me. Yak swear.”

Smolder just smiles at her friend. “Well, since we are good friends, I can tell you.”

“The pony’s name is-” Smolder gets cut off by the sound of the school bell, signifying classes are starting for today.

Mane 6 Adventures: The Battle with Galbus

Twilight and Spike both had made it to Ponyville, running all the way from Tartarus. No stops to rest.

Once they reached the city limits, both creatures fall to the ground, panting for air.

After about five minutes of catching their breaths, Twilight and Spike get back up and prepare for the worst.

Only, there is literally nothing here in Ponyville.

Everything is still the same.

No damage whatsoever.

Everypony out and about. No sign of trouble.

“That’s weird. You would think that Galbus would be here and ready to battle.” Spike says, scratching his head with his claw.

“I don’t know either Spike.” Twilight says back.

The two would then walk further into town, when going to Sugarcube Corner would they get the surprise of a lifetime.

Out in front of the shop, everypony involved/called by the map stood there, each smiling as brightly as ever.

“Uh...”

“APRIL FOOLS!!!” Everypony shouts at the two all at once.

Both Twilight and Spike stare off in shock.

***

“So this was all just a prank?!” Twilight asks everypony.

“Uh huh.” Pinkie answers her.

“But why?”

“‘Cause it’s April fools silly.” Pinkie says.

“So everything was just a prank. Even Wysteria and the tree of harmony were in on it!”

Right there in front of Twilight, a holographic version of herself magically appears.

“Gotcha.” Tree of harmony Twilight says to her jokingly before teleporting out of there.

“What?!?!”

Author's Note

Yeah, the whole thing was just a prank.

MLP 300th Episode Special

"Got anything?"

"Anything? Like what?!"

Rainbow Dash and Twilight are both in the conference room at the local Holiday Inn, thinking of what to do for the 300th episode.

"Maybe we can dedicate it to all the background ponies?"

"We already did that. Remember the 100th episode?"

"Ah yeah." Twilight thinks for a second. "That really wasn't our best outing."

Hours passed as the ponies still can't come up with anything.

"Let's face it Twilight. We're pooped."

"Now now. I'm sure we can-"

"Can what?!" Rainbow interrupts her. "I'm pretty sure we've ran out of ideas ever since we went to space and battled that time wizard."

"Or when Starlight became an alicorn. Then immediately returned to her home planet 'cause it needed her."

"Or that time we thought it was a good idea to crossover with our human selves."

Both ponies start laughing. Laughing at everything that happened from season ten to twelve.

After laughing for about an hour straight, both ponies fall to sleep.

"We only have two hours 'til airtime and we still have nothing!"

"What are we gonna do!"

The two ponies act frantically as they only have two hours left to think of something.

"I don't get it. We've never had a hard time like this before." Rainbow says.

"I guess it's because we've never been in this situation before." Twilight says back.

"Well think, what haven't we done before that everyone will love?" Rainbow asks.

Twilight and Rainbow think real good about it until an idea pops into Twilight's head.

"I think I have an idea."

***

"And do you, take this stallion as your loving husband?"

"I do."

"And do you, take this lovely wedded mare as your wife?"

"I do."

"Well then, with all the power invested in me, Mayor Mare, I now pronounce you husband and wife!"

Twilight and Flash Sentry both kiss, signifying the beginning of their marriage as everypony packed inside of Ponyville town hall congratulates the newly wedded couple.

I don't know what I've just done.

In Line

On a windy, cloud filled sky day, Cozy Glow is in Headmare Twilight’s office, sitting in her chair, hooves up on the desk, having the most smirkiest of smirks ever seen.

On the other side of the desk, sitting on a simple wooden chair is Princess Twilight herself.

Though she appears tied to the chair, front and back hooves tied together and to the chair, mouth stuffed with a dirty white rag, and lastly, for safe measures, her horn on the frink due to an anti magic spell cast on it.

“Now, you’re probably wonderin’, why am I doin’ this?” Cozy opens up a drawer and takes out a file from it. “In this file is all of Princess Twilight’s financial records. What do I want with it you ask? Simple.” Cozy opens it up, finding the paper showing all the payments Twilight made. “Now tell me, what did you purchase on the fourteenth day of this exact month... two years ago?” Cozy shows the document to her.

Twilight looks to get nervous, sweat starting to come down, mumbling to her what sounds like: “That’s none of your business.”

“Oh, and it is.” Cozy puts the paper back in the file. “And once I send this in to the Ponyville news publisher, everypony will know the real Princess Twilight.”

Twilight worriness gets dialed up to max levels.

Until from the sound of the two double doors being kicked open does it start to go down some.

Cozy Glow looks to see Gallus standing in the doorway, holding in his grip a medium sized black box.

“Never fear! For I am here!” Gallus exclaims loudly.

“Oh.” Cozy sounds a little nervously, quickly picking up the file, then flies up into the air. “It’s been fun but I-“

“Not so fast!” Gallus jumps over to where she is, opening and holding out the black box towards her.

“What in tar-“ Cozy is interrupted as suddenly she starts to feel herself disintegrating into the box, the file in her hooves falling to the floor.

As soon as all of Cozy Glow is inside the box, Gallus quickly shuts the top back on.

***

“Again I just have to say thanks again.” Twilight says to Gallus as they both walk the halls of the school.

“Eh. Like I said, don’t mention it.”

“You know it’s nice to see how a griffin like yourself has really gotten along with everycreature. Considering where you came from.”

“It’s nothing. I just learned what you taught me, and with the help of my friends, I know I’m waaay better than I was.”

Twilight smiles cheerily at him.

The two walk a little more until Gallus notices something isn’t right.

“You hear that?”

“Hear what-“ Twilight is interrupted as she looks at Gallus’s flank, seeing it appears to be glowing.

“What.” Gallus looks back at his own flank too. “Wha..?”

(Earlier That Day)

Gallus was in the school library, sitting at one of the tables studying for Professor Fluttershy’s exam tomorrow until a strange pony walks over to him.

The pony wore a tan trench coat covering his whole body, a tan fedora, and big black sunglasses.

The pony took out a medium sized black box out of his coat, placing it on the table, getting Gallus’s attention.

“I am giving this to you. Use it wisely.” The pony says before walking out of the library.

“Okay.” Gallus looks at the box real close. “I don’t get it. And what did he say? Use it wisely.”

Just as he’s about to grab the thing, somepony runs into the library, screaming loudly.

“HELP!!!!!!!! HEADMARE TWILIGHT IS TIED UP IN HER OFFICE WITH THAT COZY GLOW!!! SOMEPONY DO SOMETHING!!!!!!!!”

Gallus gets a look of confidence, grabs the box then flies fast to Headmare Twilight’s office.

(Nighttime)

Twilight and Gallus are both in the throne room of the friendship castle.

Though when the map was turned on it showed no sign of Gallus being summon by the map.

“I don’t get it.” Twilight paces around the map table. “Usually when ones’ flank glows its a call from the map. But now. I don’t know!”

“Maybe the map is trying to say something. Like what with me and my friends?” Gallus asks her.

“Speaking of which.” Twilight sits on her throne, motioning Gallus to sit elsewhere. “I’ve been wondering about the tree of harmony for a while now and, it’s about you and your friend’s connection to the tree.”

“Okay.” Gallus takes a deep breath. “We probably are gonna tell you eventually but here we go.”

“It all started when me and my friends were studying for a test. Then Cozy Glow of course, makes us all feel down. Then before you know it we find an opening in the library leading to a cavern with the tree of harmony shaped as you, then immediately casts us away to face our fears.”

“Interesting. Please go on.” Twilight says.

“Some of us were able to face them on our own, but some just needed a little help.”

“And so after we all have faced our fears, the tree of harmony says of how proud it is of us and lets us go.”

“Really. Well that explains why a holographic version of me appeared as part of an April fools joke.”

Gallus looks at Twilight questionably.

“You don’t wanna know.”

***

As soon as Twilight sent Gallus away (back to the school), she walks to her bedroom, using her magic to put on her bedroom robe then planned to just go to bed early tonight.

Today was a long, tired day for her.

But not before going over to her dresser, opening the top drawer to take out a piece of paper and a pen.

The first line of the paper read: Cozy Glow X Gallus.

Twilight uses the pen to cross it off entirely.

“Such a shame. I just thought they had the chemistry to do it.”

Twilight crumbles it up and throws it in a trash can before going to sleep.

(The Next Day)

A new school day has begun.

Gallus was busy walking down the hall to Professor Dash’s class before being stopped by Headmare Twilight.

“Hey, just one question. Have you ever, oh I don’t know, felt anything ‘touchy-feely’ towards a certain someone?” Twilight asks him.

“Uh... Why do you need to know?” Gallus sounds a little uncomfortable.

“‘Cause last night I had a dream that you were proposing to guidance counselor Starlight!” Twilight freaks out over.

“You what? Okay, for one, Starlight’s like, in her mid twenties. And second, why did you dream of that?!”

“Dream of what?” Starlight says as she walks over by them. “I’m just passing through ‘til I see you two. Anything the matter?”

“Oh there’s no matter. Just headmare and student talking. No need for you here.” Twilight says trying to sound normal.

“Okay. Well if you need me, you both know where to find me.” Starlight walks away from the two.

***

Derpy Hooves was at this new fancy restaurant that just opened up, waiting patiently for her blind date to show up.

“I hope he makes it in time. The dinner rush will start soon.” Derpy says to herself just as Twilight comes into view.

“Hi there. Just wondering if you’ve seen anypony here that’s waiting for me. My friend set me up on a blind date and I’d very much would like to meet the pony.”

“Really? ‘Cause I’m doing the same thing.” Derpy says to her.

“Really? You don’t think that-“

Twilight is interrupted by Rainbow Dash’s laughing.

“Rainbow Dash!” Twilight says angrily to her before stomping away from the restaurant.

“Um, what just happened?” Derpy asks confused.

***

Starlight was in the teachers’ lounge, sitting on one of the couches, eating the last slice of cake all the while thinking to herself.

Just then Fluttershy comes in, going over to the fridge to take out a little something for her class.

Right when she finds it and is about to leave, Starlight asks her: “Hey Fluttershy. We’re good friends right?”

“Well of course. Why do you ask?”

“Oh well it’s just, why does nopony want me!”

Fluttershy looks to her concerned.

“I mean, I’m not a bad pony, and I’ve shown I can change. Yet here I am, whisking away the best years of my life.”

“Um Starlight-“

“I mean I’m twenty six. Twenty six!”

“I think you-“

“And soon enough I’m gonna be in my thirties!”

“Starlight!” Fluttershy finally gets her attention, taking a deep breath. “I know it’s hard for you but, there’s no need to worry. Besides, I’m two years older and I don’t feel the need of wanting somepony by me.” She says comforting.

“Well you also have Discord as a fallback plan so of course you needn’t worry.”

Fluttershy blushes at what she just said.

“Well I better be going. Nice to talk with ya.” Flutters walks back to the door before Starlight stops her.

“Look. I’m sorry for what I said. I’ve just been thinking a lot about this and just needed somepony to talk to. Forgiven?”

Fluttershy smiles at her. “You're forgiven.” She opens the door and walks back to her classroom.

***

A long narrow hallway.

On each side are eight doors, each door a different color.

The blue door on the right opens up from the other side.

And on the other side is Cozy Glow.

“I’m back!”

Author's Note

And this is the end of the story.

Will there be another story explaining all of everything that happened this chapter?

Probably not.

Anyway, thanks for all that happened and see you again maybe.
