HappyShe had told everyone that she was going mountain climbing. They had objected, "You can't go by yourself!" but she stood her ground, saying she had always taken risks, and why stop now?Rock after rock, hoofhold after hoofhold, she advanced steadily up the cliff face. The cold air whipped around her, but she barely felt it.She reached the top, panting like a racedog, and pulled herself over edge. She resisted the temptation to roll over on her back while resting; her wing stubs were so sensitive.Finally regaining her breath, she stood up on quivering legs and turned around. Her re-found breath left her again when she saw the vista spread
The RegularsDISCLAIMER: The following story is for a fanfic challenge where the more cliches you fit into your fic, the better. This is an affectionate parody of sadfics and grimdark fics, and not to be taken seriously. I say this here so that readers don't read the first few paragraphs and come knocking on my door demanding five minutes of their life back.On the outskirts of Manehattan, sitting between a dilapidated Burger King (The owners of which realised too late that they would have got more revenue if their menu was vegetarian) and a small Tourist Information office was a small tavern, originally known as "The Prancing Pegasus" but known simply
The Kanterlott Plant Ch.3 Lazy Days stared, wide-eyed and open-mouthed, as Celestia herself entered the hospital room. He quickly tried his best to bow, which must have looked odd since he was lying on his back. He ended up doing what seemed more like a half-witted grovel. The Princess paid him no heed, however, as she was busy instructing her guards. "If everything is as you say, he is either of absolutely no consequence, or the biggest threat we have faced yet. I don't want to take any chances. Restrain him." Lazy thought this was highly unnecessary, as he managed to make a sort of squeak in the back of his throat, but fear had totally incapacitated him be
The Ultimate Love Triangle"Are you really sure your spell can't screw up?""Yes, Spike, I'm one hundred percent sure that my spell won't screw up. Why do you keep asking?""I don't know. I just have this weird feeling that this has happened a lot before.""I have no idea what you're talking about."Twilight Sparkle was spending the afternoon learning some relatively simple spells. Most of the ponies in town were occupied with business or errands today for some reason, so she decided it would be a perfect day to study. But for some strange reason, her assistant Spike keeps thinking she'll screw up the spells she's working on. Why would he think she couldn't be prep
Cupcakes, Magic, and Dragons 1Spike's daily trips to Sugarcube Corner had started almost a month ago. It all began one morning when Twilight sent her assistant to the bakery to pick up some cupcakes for the younger princess's birthday party. Pinkie refused the bits he offered, insisting that she'd never make her friends pay for anything in the store. Spike, having nothing better to do with his morning and in no hurry to rush back, offered his assistance in doing some chores around the bakery. It was the sort of work he was used to doing for Twilight, he reasoned, and he didn't feel right taking the sweets without some sort of compensation in return for her efforts.Norma
A Simple Spell "Hello girls," began the purple unicorn with a matter-of-fact tone. "First of all, I'd like to thank you all for joining me on such short notice." She continuted. She was addressing five other mares, one unicorn, two earth ponies and two pegasi. While the other four paid close attention to the purple one, the blue pegasus seemed more intent upon napping, and was resting her head on her hooves with eyes closed. "Dash? Hey, Dash, get off yer lazy rump and listen to Twi!" called one of the earth ponies; and orange one with a hat resting atop her blonde ponytail. Turning to Twilight, she continued. "Why are we here, Twi? Y'all know it's appleb
Story week 4: SqueakyEverything had come down to this Twilight thought. Today was the day she was going to make her secret feelings known. She dashed through the library checking and double checking her plans. It was perfect, it could not fail, and well it should at least go better then her last big gamble. As she ran out of the library her mind wandered back to that fateful day."Spike, Spike, where's that phlogiston I ordered.""In the kitchen I think.""Come on Spike I need that for the spell."Spike walked down the stairs into the basement holding a large metal canister."Thanks Spike. Just put it over there in the fifth pentagram."There was a knock on
Can't Keep A Rainbow Grounded"-and make sure she gets plenty of rest, and don't even think about letting her fly on that wing."A slate-grey pegasus wiped his brow nervously. "We're just glad she's alright. Thank you doctor.""Yeah, thanks Doc." a pink-coated pegasus said distractedly. Her attention was on the sky-blue pegasus filly lying on the bed, a cast and bandages holding one of her wings down. "You hear that Dash? Just a little rest, and you'll be zipping around in no time!"Rainbow Dash stuck her tongue out petulantly. Her father shot her a stern glance. "Now don't give your mother that attitude, young missy. You should have known better than to try diving thr
Rarity's bad mare dayDescription: After a noodle incident, Twilight figures that Rarity needs to be taught a lesson.Tag: Drama, shipping, random and slightly sad.Note: This story was written to be horrible; it's all completely on purpose I assure you. Also the character I'm worst at writing is Rarity.This is an A level idea, but the average D level of execution I always do.Week 4 MLP-WTG theme: Write pony clichés!Rarity's bad mare day!It started becoming very noticeable shortly after going to the gala, even when Pinkie, Rainbow, Fluttershy and even Applejack tried to hide the fact.

WTG 4: Passions PassionsRainbow Dash took a deep breath before starting her descent. She flapped with all her might, propelling herself toward dangerous speeds. Her enthusiasm took control as she went faster and faster: this trick was going to be so awesome.The wind really began to dig into her, practically forcing her mouth open and causing her hair to streak wildly behind her. But she knew the real secret of the Sonic Rainboom, a little wind resistence wasn't going to stop Rainbow Dash. She kept both forehooves as straight as she could manage and with each extra inch she could feel the air caving.'Just a little more,' the pegasus thought.She s

BSBM -Opening Only-Broken Spells, Broken Minds"Are you all ready?" asked Twilight Sparkle, looking to her friends for confirmation. They all expressed approval, some in more unusual ways than others. (Pinkie jumped into the air and flipped over backwards, grinning maniacally.) "Right." Twilight focused on the glyph in the center of the circle, siphoning energy to charge the arcane markings chalked on the floor.She could feel the arcane force tearing at her mind, pulling her away as the mass teleport began to take effect. Her spirit mingled with those around her, pulling and twisting as her view neared the ground, light fading...When she awoke, it quickly

Trolluna's Epic PrankTrolluna's Epic PrankA MLP FiM Fanfic by brokenhero0409[Random]Equestria's Moon Princess, Luna of the Moon, the Stars, and the Night Sky, was deeply discontented with how her life post-banishment was turning out. Her sister, the shining monarch of the sun, had pronounced Luna fit to retake sole control of the night soon after her return. No, Luna's discontent wasn't stemming from her Night's Work. Not this time.In the thousand years that had passed while she was trapped as the Mare in the Moon, ponies all over Equestria began to appreciate the nighttime hours. The night had become a haven for the young ponies; the rebels and lawbreak
MoonpiesLuna was sad, face contorted into a frown,despite her new socks, she was feeling quite down,Her sister, Celestia, had been forced to say "bye,"off helping a student whose spell had gone awry.She'd temporarily stripped the wings off of the "Best Young Flier"an effect far removed from the one she'd desired.So Luna moped around, feeling things go downhill,until into her room wondered something pink from Ponyville."Hiya Luna!" Said the pink-one, "Why the sad face?I was looking for the kitchen, but I then I became misplaced..."Blinking from surprise that her guards had been bypassed,Luna quickly answered the question that she
MLPFIM: The Movie: The Fic(Disclaimer: This story is meant to be comedic and not to be taken seriously at all. A couple parts may seem really rude and uncalled for but they're just poking fun, they're not my actual views.)It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. It was the darkest and saddest and least pony-like of times, yet this is still a story about ponies. Sad, brooding ponies doing depressing things and having pastel pony intercourse and probably maiming and/or killing each other for no fathomable reason and lots of other things you'd imagine when thinking of the title "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic".I mean, that's what you want, right?
Family ReunionfirstBack Pinkie felt a tingling flutter arcing through her racing pony heart as her lips pressed firm against the Princess. This time I'll do it. This time I'll save her. I will pull you from the abyss and into the light. I'll make you enjoy life and nothing will stop me. She felt but didn't see the explosion of glitter and balloons. She appreciated the support but she didn't turn h
