We all know that Rarity ended up asking Fluttershy to watch her shop in Manehattan. However, before she got to our favorite pegasus, she had asked some other ponies. In fact, she had asked the Crusaders. This leads one to wonder, what would have happened if the girls had said yes.

The School of Friendship is a place where creatures from Equestria and beyond can learn about the magic of friendship. Of course, in order to function properly in society, one must learn other things, too, like mathematics, science, history...

And, chairs?

Well, at least Principal Twilight Sparkle believes chairs are an important subject, important enough to warrant a surprise field trip to the local marketplace to learn a thing or two from chairs.

Mudbriar's birthday and 5-month anniversary with Maud is around the corner, and Pinkie Pie can't wait to plan it out. Unless another party planner offers to plan it himself.

The first exams are due at the School of Friendship and Gallus needs help with a subject.
Luckily Sandbar offers his help.
Can they work together to pass the exams? Is Sandbar able to help his friend? But how will this all work out? And how will those feelings they have for each other play into the mix?
We will see!

Pharynx is forced by his brother to take Ocellus to a carnival. He discovers that the experience is unbearable. Will he make it through the day?

Rated T for Pharynx mild swearing.

Guidance Counselor Starlight enjoys relaxing above the School of Friendship when classes are done,
the waterfalls keeping her company.
But she soon finds a curious Ocellus joining her,
unaware of the little changedling's intentions...

Lesson learned. Crisis resolved. Rarity's reputation and Saddle Row are both intact.

But the question remains, how did Fluttershy pull off all of those near-instantaneous costume changes? And just what was going through her mind at the time?

Well, there are a few mistaken assumptions in those questions, as quickly became clear once everypony got home...

Contains some spoilers for S8E04, "Fake It 'Til You Make It."

An illness kept Sandbar away from the School of Friendship just as quizzes were being given out. His friends all know how they did, but their hints are cryptic and not all of them are true. Twilight is able to sort out truth from falsity ... but can the reader?

Ocellus is tasked with getting only the finest of alcoholic beverages for her underage friends to indulge in. After all, who would suspect the only student to actually study?

Inspired entirely by a random conversation with Jack of a Few Trades. Go check that guy out, he's super cool!

Struggling to find somepony to cover for Rarity for You, Rarity is surprised to find that Maud's available. But Maud's not alone; she's got Boulder to help. In fact, she might be the one helping Boulder.
