Applejack agreed to go to the spa with Rarity. She never agreed to getting her hooves done while her fashionista friend goes shopping.
She also never agreed to discovering a secret about the Ponyville Spa that she wished she had never discovered.

This was something a wrote for a contest between a few friends. I didn't win, but I cleaned it up and decided to post it here for chuckles. Feedback is always appreciated!
Thanks to d2xa on Deviantart for the cover image!

Applejack, Twilight, and Rarity have always had a sleepover once a month since their first year as friends. But this time Twilight can't make it, and AJ has something on her mind for Rarity. Will this be another crazy night?

Celestia and Luna have been sisters for more than a millennium. If only that made things easier!

Will poor housekeeping lead to the destruction of Equestria?

Will Spike ever find true love while wearing cupcake shaped hats?

Will Twilight Sparkle ever learn to play the banjo?

(No banjos were harmed in the making of this fiction. If you want to find out the answers to those last two questions, you'll probably have to go read something else.)

When I was young and things were good, when I wasn't busy with either of my jobs, when it was winter and it was cold and I preferred to stay inside, sometimes I would write. Not much. Not anything long, not anything worth attention. It was a bit childish, really, but I'd write down some amateurish attempts at poetry. I'd write about friendship, and about love.

Nowadays I have more free time than I used to. Sometimes I use some of it to go scrub off moss from where I don't want it to grow. But I don't write anymore.

Being a fashion designer is not easy - it takes creativity, dedication, and a lot of work. Rarity knows that, and while she wouldn't trade the life she chose for anything in the world, she still needs a break sometimes. What better opportunity is there than going on a walk with a friend - one who has become dearer to her than she had ever been willing to believe?

Not many people know that Harpflank and Sweets has a surprisingly large non-Equestrian fanbase, being particularly popular in Fance. As with any animated feature, things changed in the translation. However, some dedicated fans have taken the time to retranslate the Fancy scripts and give us an inkling of what our cousins across the sea experienced. So, exclusively here, the retranslated script of Harpflank and Sweets: Episode 27 - Escalation.

Birthday present to myself.

Diamond Tiara is unable to grasp the true spirit of Christmas. Thankfully, there are three spirits, who may just have what it takes to turn that sour attitude around and help the filly embrace what Christmas is truly all about: kindness and sharing.

This story is a sequel to Playing House

Life for a band on tour always brings fresh challenges. Fluttershy is ready to meet them, having grown confident as a band manager in the past two years. It’s just about the only thing she’s good at, after all.

If you want to read this story but you haven’t read any of the stories leading up to it, I wrote a summary of the events important to this story in the comments here.

A story set in the Who We Become series.

This story wouldn’t be what it is without Wendy Gowak, who workshopped the chapter by chapter outline with me.
Thanks go out to Gowak, Moonlight, TeamSpen210, Krixwell, and Sapphire for proofreading.

When a magical spell goes awry, Applejack and Rarity find themselves leading each others lives. Can the drama queen handle farm life? Can the laidback farmpony handle the pressure of retail? Only time will tell!

This story is meant to read like an episode.

Dinky follows in her mother’s hoofsteps: just a little bit different. So naturally when she finds an interesting frog in the forest, the correct answer is to see where it takes her.
