“These fancy gizmos from Canterlot are so cool! Maybe even— no, not better than stairs, but still!”
Silverstream gleefully lifted the handle of the new pancake press that had been added to the line in the School of Friendship’s cafeteria. After dropping the large pancake onto her plate, she shifted down the line and added some syrup on top.
“Would you chill with the stairs already?” Gallus deadpanned at her. Silverstream just stuck out her tongue at him.
“Could Gallus make pancake for Yona, please?” the young yak asked from beside him. “Yak hoof too short.”
Sandbar reached over and picked up the pitcher of batter. “I got it.” He looked over at Silverstream as he proceeded to carefully pour the batter so it filled every circular edge. “I’m with ya, these things are awesome.”
“Not as awesome as the gem cutter they developed,” Smolder said from the back of their group of friends. “There was even an article about it with Dragon Lord Ember and the Princesses unveiling it. Check it.”
She proceeded to toss the newspaper she was holding in Sandbar’s direction, and it landed in the batter he’d poured into the machine just as he closed it. The batter sizzled and spat out the sides.
“Ah! Smolder, what that for?” Yona cried, covering herself with a hoof. “You ruin breakfast!”
“Heh, sorry. You can make another, can’t you?”
Sandbar looked back at her and cocked a brow. “Yes, but that’s besides the point.”
Yona frowned. “Yona sorry, Sandbar. Could—”
“Yeah, I got it, don’t worry,” he replied with a smile. Yona beamed up at him as he carefully reached for the pancake in the machine by an edge of the embedded paper to prevent getting burned. She was about to reach for it before Sandbar shook his head and added, “No, don’t touch that one, Yona. It’s hot off the press.”
Hi, organizer here. Contest rules state that you can enter a maximum of three entries.
But if these are all thematically connected and form a larger narrative, I suppose we could count the whole thing as one entry

Oh geez! I totally misinterpreted that rule! I thought you meant three separate submitted stories were allowed, and I was going to enter this as my only one. Guess I didn't read closely enough. Sorry about that.
No, I don't think I can consider them all thematically connected. Really the only pure commonality between them is that they all star the Young Six. If you'd consider that one narrative, then by all means consider it as such, but I doubt that will be the case.
I'm actually in the middle of writing another one, so when I'm done, I'll rearrange the order so the first three are going to be my official entries by the due date. And I'll alter the story description to make that clear. Is that okay?
I'm just kinda having fun writing these.
Oh boy, that one's bad. XD
