The Six Stages of Pony Sometimes, the ponies of Equestria, in all their wisdom, like to step beyond their boundaries, both figuratively and literally. Sometimes, intrepid ponies dare to go places or do things that no pony has business doing. Kicking dragons out of their back yard and defeating nightmarish equines of theri own ilk are understandable things to do, but sometimes ponies are very silly and forget that the world they live in stretches far beyond the kingdom of Equestria -- and these fantastical, sometimes dark realms contain denizens far more powerful and sinister than anything a pony should ever have t
MLP Training Grounds- Week 5 "Pinkie, what's wrong? Usually you're in the middle of the party dancing your rump off. Or chugging the punch bowl." Said the purple unicorn. Her friend seemed to be rather off-colour today. Her hair was less bouncy and curly than usual, and her eyes didn't have that same sparkle they usually did. Everypony knew Pinkie had two settings: Party and Pinkamena, and nobody wanted Pinkamena. Pinkie sighed, another strange thing for her. Pinkie never sighed. "Oh, it's nothing. This was gonna be my Grannie Pie's birthday, but she couldn't be here." Twilight tried to read her face, but found nothing. "Oh? Why's that, was she stuck in traffic or s

Friendship is Silly FilliesAs Luna's night steadily darkened the skies over Ponyville, a library nestled in a sagely old tree was lit with the prospects of an adequately enjoyable evening. The cautious optimism was palpable, and the chatter from within the yellow windows of the oaken home revealed a sense of vague excitement. 'I can totally do this!' Twilight thought to herself as she approached the circle of her five gathered friends. She had ensured that all of the snacks were sugary, all of the pillows plumped, all of the make-up set out and organized to suit everypony, and all the music precisely selected to promote maximum fun. It was all set out perfectly, too;
An Odd Experiment"Alright the experiment begins...now." A voice blared over an intercom. 6 ponies sat uneasy in the center of a large room. The room was rather dull, having 4 white walls, a white ceiling and floor, and a white door. 3 brown tables were situated in a circle at the center of the room. Each table had a single piece of paper on it and a stack of note cards. The only non-ordinary part of the room was the huge one-way mirror on one of the walls. The 6 ponies were sitting such that each table had a pair and each pair sat across from one another. Rainbow Dash sighed out of pure boredom. She wondered how she was talked into this. Across from Rainbo
WTG 5: Too Many Cooks"Everypony finished?" Twilight asked, looking expectantly at her semi-circle of friends. As each pony gave her confirmation, the unicorn telepathically retrieved her paper. She shuffled them together before holding them up to her face.The lavender pony cleared her throat, "I'll start with qualities. Applejack has hard working and strong. That's a pretty solid start."She looked up on the off chance anypony had any objections before proceeding, "Rainbow Dash has fast and... kicks butt?"Dash met Twilight's arched eyebrow with an enthusiastic grin, "Yea! What kind of heroine doesn't kick butt?""Actually, I've read quite a few books t
My Little Mystery"Ya got any threes, Rarity?" "I'm afraid you'll have to go fish." "Well, shoot." "Hmmm, Twilight, do you have any nines?" "…Yes." "Whoopee! I win again! That makes it the third time in a row!" "Okay that's it, we need to play a new game, one that Pinkie doesn't win every time." "Why don't we play a game of Monopony? I fare a lot better at that game." "Um, sorry Rarity, but I don't think we should play that game. Everyone always fights when we play, and last time Rainbow Dash and Applejack got mad at me. Could you choose something else to play?" Twilight Spar
The Morning AfterTwilight shifted uncomfortably, half-asleep, as her mind swam toward consciousness. Slowly opening one eye, the first thing the unicorn noticed was that she wasn't in her room; a moment later, she became aware of a painful throbbing in her head. "Ugh... where am I?""Well Twi, Ah'm afraid we're all in the pokey." At the sound of the familiar drawl, Twilight sat up and glanced around; immediately she regretted the rapid motion as spikes of pain shot through her skull."Ooh! The pokey? I love the pony pokey!" The pink earth pony's voice betrayed no hint of the discomfort Twilight was currently feeling. "You put your left hoof in, you put your
The Crying Princess"The sky over Ponyville was a dark one. A few hours ago Luna raised the moon. Since ancient times, even before Luna took control over the huge celestial body, the moon had been changing its shape continuously. It was glistening in the dark sea of the night, together with a countless number of stars, like a huge banana.""Sweetie Bell, what are you lamenting about, Twilight is about to continue with her story, she is going to start reading without you if you don't come back now.""Yeah yeah I'm coming Scootaloo, wait for me." The white filly was walking back into the tree-shaped library, before she finally entered the door she loo
Ponyville OccupationThe PonyvilleOccupation- Neightzis Twilight hid in a doorway, peeking uncertainly around the corner. When she saw there was no one there, she sprinted to the next. She had been at this all morning, and was nearing her destination: The Carousel Boutique, where Rarity worked. Once, she saw a stallion unicorn dressed in black and gold, and pressed herself down into the bush where she hid, holding her breath with worry. The stallion passed without incident, and she dashed into the doorway of her friend's shop. Rarity opened the door cautiously, then bustled her in when she recognized the lavender unicorn. "Twilight! Oh, thank Celest
Five Block"Thanks for agreeing to come along," Twilight said, setting herself down on the dingy white padded floor. "It will be nice to have someone to talk to tonight." The heavy iron door fell shut as the last of the chamber's six new inhabitants stepped inside. A subtle clicking sound could be heard as the door locked itself."You know Twilight, you still haven't told us why you came out here in the first place." Rainbow Dash looked around the room as she continued, "I can't think of anything you'd need to do out here. I mean, does the padding enhance your magic or something?" The purple unicorn laughed quietly at the thought of this."No, of cour

No pony else talks to them unless it's a crossover.Description: Fluttershy plays dirty.Tag: Normal, comedy and random.The Quiet Game.They all sat in the library, in a circle, playing Fluttershy's favorite game and it was actually quite torturous because Fluttershy made it so hard to stay quiet. The entire game was based on not making a sound, it didn't say what you could or could not do while doing that, except for the no outside interference clause especially for those who lost at the game. In fact Fluttershy was a master at this

6 Mares in TanksTwilight Sparkle did her best not to wake up. Her mind was groggy, her head throbbed with a dull pain, and her body ached all over. It's as if her whole being had rallied around the single cause of making sure she didn't want to wake up. She had to admit; it had done a good job. She was in no mood to meet the oncoming day, even as the bright morning sun shined in her face.*THUMP*Twilight grimaced as she tossed; trying to block the sun from her still shut eyes. Why was it so bright? Had she forgotten to shut her curtains the night before? And why was it so noisy all of the sudden? It sounded like a good chunk of the town was rig
Operation Too Many CooksOperation: Too Many Cooks-An MLP FiM Fanfic by brokenhero0409Dedicated to my late Great Aunt, who made the best snickerdoodles ever. Of all time."Are you sure this is gonna work, Trix?" Gilda the gryphon asked. She smoothed down some errant feathers with her razor sharp talons. The unicorn she'd been addressing glowered at her."I'll thank you to address me properly, gryphon. If your feeble little mind cannot remember my full title, then The Great and Powerful Trixie may be shortened to simply 'Trixie.'" The silver-maned unicorn bustled about a table in the middle of a room Gilda never thought she'd ever return to. Upon that table stoo

The pink earth pony had been here for almost an hour, and in that time, she had stopped her whirlwind of rejection only once, and that was just to set down her half-eaten lollipop on top of one of the boutique's bare mannequins."My dearest Pinkie Pie, are you sure that I can't help you find anything?" she asked, barely containing her exasperation behind a thin veil of gentility.Pinkie finished with the last rack in the sto

The Esoteric Order of PonyIn the darkness a purple horn ignited, pulling the old wooden door closed. The last light that spilled in from the corridor briefly illuminated the dusty, circular room and the figures inhabiting it. Seconds later a spark lit one of the few candles dotted around the room.Six hooded figures sat at a circular table, magical calligraphy carved into its surface. With their heads bowed the meagre light of the candles could not penetrate the darkness of their robes, keeping their faces in shadow."Now, let's see what it says," the pony sat at a chair slightly larger, and slightly more elaborate than the others intoned."I brought snacks!"
