Equestria has changed in more ways than one over the vast number of years it has existed. But not everything has been for the better.

It only ever took a small change to make a big difference. For six ponies, that change has set them on the road less trodden. If they want any chance to survive in the world they live, they'll have to move fast and think faster.

Veni, vidi, reliqui
(I came, I saw, I left)

Everyone holds some power over someone else.
But no-one is certain of just how far that power reaches.

A/N: You know the drill… random scribbles at *checks time* two in the morning. Expect some obscurity and a very odd writing style.

A collection of oneshot shipping prompts, all of which are slices of the respective pairing's life. Beware the fluff.

A/N: Sometimes we take mad challenges.
Five sets of updates, each with three different shipping pairs

(Part of Bookplayers challenge, The mad edition)

A choice is what we make of the options given to us at the time.

There's not much to do anymore, 'cept reminisce about the old days that is.

How do you explain to someone that you want to be something else?

Mare Do Well earned her place in the history books of Ponyville as one of its greatest protectors alongside the likes of Supermare and Batmare.
But Mare Do Well hung up her cape after teaching a lesson to one of the most egotistical mares in Ponyville.

So who is it on moonlit nights, that hops from rooftop to rooftop, who leaves crooks and con-stallions outside the doors of the watch-house, and who always arrives just in time?

Mare Do Well may have taught Rainbow Dash one unforgettable lesson, maybe Mare Do Better will teach her another.

A/N: This story starts after the Mare Do Well episode in season 2.
Major thanks to Twilight the Pony (previously Spark-of-Twilight) for the art (now with source!).

Celestia has ruled Equestria for over five millennia.
But do ponies really need ruling any more?
Celestia debates with herself whether she is truly more than a figurehead to her country.

A/N: Written in an hour... I get bored sometimes.

It's a motto Silver Standard lives by.

Money can't buy you happiness
But it can buy apathy and scotch

But as the head of Equestria's number one bank, a motto is all he can live by.

They say that curiosity killed the cat?
It's a good thing that Rainbow Dash is a pegasus then, when she hears that Pinkie has been sworn to silence by Twilight after hearing yet another secret, she can't help asking about for any loopholes.

It's a simple challenge, all she has to do is spend the day helping Pinkie Pie.
Right?

Many, many thanks to Lostzilla for the cover image. Hopefully this story does it justice.
