Smolder recalls to the rest of her friends the story of how she got detention from former Head Mare Twilight for two weeks. It is a hilarious tale involving disappointment, misunderstandings, startling revelations, no regrets, and an egg that started it all.

Edit: Ok, finally has a cover image. I had another one picked out that I liked better, but FiMFic would NOT accept it, no matter what. This one works too I think

We've all had this question since Twilight became a princess. Why doesn't she have any guards. It would seem like a smart idea to have them around, even if they're just there to look pretty. Well, Sunset's gonna be the audience stand in for us today.

For some reason, Twilight had developed a new habit of singing into the night sky about these... airplanes and shooting stars. As it so happens, she does it right under Starlight's room every night. Guess who had trouble sleeping because of it and finally had enough?

I have no idea why I made this

Hope you enjoy it, I guess?

This story is a sequel to Twilight Steals a Watch

After fleeing the scene of her own crime, Twilight finds herself in the middle of an entirely new one. A train robbery gone wrong results in Twilight receiving a little bit of payback for her crimes. But what of the Princesses? What will their consequences be?

The gore tag is only here as a warning about a couple of little bits, nothing too heavy I assure you.

I encourage you to read the prequel, however, it is not vital to enjoy this story.

If you don't want to read the prequel or need a refresher, here's the main rundown:
Twilight plans to steal a magical watch from a museum in Canterlot, she requisitions a stealth suit from Rarity while the CMC are out camping in Whitetail Woods, she successfully steals the watch after avoiding guards Cinder and Cleaver, the curator Shoddy Silver is devastated and is revealed to be a con artist after the launch of the museum is a failure, Twilight escapes onto a train commandeered by Celestia and Luna which soon derails off the mountain. Have I missed anything? Probably.

In theory, the Festival of Friendship will be Twilight’s official appearance on the world stage. Yes, she’s participated in diplomatic talks, hosted diplomatic parties, and interfered with a nonzero number of less-than-diplomatic Gauntlets of Fire, but she’s never been the main attraction of the political circus until now.

The issue isn't being part of that circus. The issue is that nocreature's buying tickets. And at least one's trying to sneak in.

Set between the end of Season 7 and the movie. Much expanded from an entry in the August 2016 Writeoff Competition. Prompt: *Princess Not Included. Thanks to Krack-Fic Kai and hawthornbunny for their help in prereading.

After reading about the opening of a museum in Canterlot, Twilight decides that the magical watch being displayed there is too dangerous to be kept out of royal hooves. Or maybe she just really wants that watch?

Either way, it goes about as well as you expect when it comes to the life of Twilight Sparkle.

[Note: This chapter is based on the events of MLP's recent 200th episode, and was written less than two days after the episode premiered.]

It's been less than a month since the unexpected return (and near domination) of King Sombra upon the Crystal Empire, as well as Ponyville and Canterlot. Even though the treacherous foe had been vanquished once more, and Equestria was still safe and sound, Twilight Sparkle was happy to see that the Royal Sisters were already looking into increasing the security measures around their castle. And since the pony assigned to strengthening their defenses was one of Equestria's most skilled unicorns in protection magic -- Prince Consort and Head of the Royal Guard, Shining Armor -- it seemed only fitting to have the Princess of Magic herself test his security measures with the aid of her friends.

Spike and the six Elements seemed more than eager to test their skills against Twilight's brother, but one of them appeared to be less worried about Shining's capabilities than she should have. Is Twilight able to change Rainbow Dash's opinion about the stallion they saved on multiple occasions? Or is there more to Shining Armor's abilities and skills that haven't been seen by them just yet?

Spike learned years ago that he came from an egg. However, he was never told where foals come from.

To find out, he asked the pony that hatched him, Twilight Sparkle, the question of how foals are born.

Long story short: Rarity had to get involved. Not because she wanted to.

Last but far from least, special thanks to TheBrokenBrony for proofreading this story.

EDIT: featured through 3/11/21-3/13/21!!

Fluttershy's friends might call the gentle pegasus sensitive. But they don't know the half of it.

What is she always so afraid of, anyway?

And why is SHE the one pony who can go toe-to-toe with the Avatar of Chaos himself?

(Is this an AU? If it is, it's one that resembles canon a lot.)

She really should've expected these results.

Now featuring a reading by StraightToThePoint Studio! Thank you to them.
