This story is a sequel to In Her Wheelhouse

Ocean City leads up its tourist season with a big car show, a steady parade of classics on the streets and on the boardwalk in the morning. Like a tide coming in or a field ripe for planting, a town shaking off its winter slumber by inviting crowds in . . . Corduroy Road has a job to do, and after it's done she can unwind at an amusement park.

Unless, of course, it's still in the spring maintenance phase of operation.

With Splash Mountain, Speedworld, mini-golf, and a train which may or may not be fake (open to philosophical debate), Jolly Roger Amusement Park has something for everypony!

Inspired by Dogman15's comment on the previous story.

New York City's a good place for a pony to start over. There are plenty of opportunities available, such as pulling a carriage around Central Park. it's not that different from pulling a carriage in Equestria, after all.

Except for the regulations. So many regulations. The law is complicated, and it's not really set up for an Equestrian pony.

Lots of her friends have cars and cruise around Pennsylvania with them, so after researching what kind of car is best for her, Periwinkle goes to a dealership and buys one.

The first time she shows it off, her friends are dubious, but once she explains the advantages it has several of them come around.

Some ponies say it's no skill to pull a canal barge, but Mersey knows better. Even algae on the bottom makes the barge pull differently than when it's clean, and its momentum can be a help or a hinderance, depending on the situation.

Locks, docks, and opposing traffic all need to be dealt with, as well as an extra barge in Fens Junction that's going all the way through to Stroudwater. If that wasn't enough, she's got to look after her brother and keep him out of trouble, both on the canal path and at the public house.

This story is a sequel to Vehicle...Allegedly

Tradition dictates that Pennsylvania towns ring in the new year by dropping things. Harrisburg has a strawberry, Lebanon drops a 100-pound bologna, Dillsburg drops a pickle, Cornwall has a cannonball, Mechanicsburg drops a wrench, while York and Lancaster drop roses (white and red, respectively).

Buck Motorsports Park is dropping a truck after a demolition derby and fireworks extravaganza? Okay, you’ve got my attention…

1,651 miles. Five states. One rambunctious filly.

The nice thing about traveling with Petunia Paleo is that it's easy to find activities we both enjoy. For example, the dinosaur exhibit at the Milwaukee Public Museum.

I think she'll like the Greenfield park memorializing NASCAR champion Alan Kulwicki. It's a trip down memory lane for me, and the perfect place to let my earth pony passenger get the 'I've been cooped up in a car and then a hotel for days' out of her system. Especially since we still have over eight hundred miles to drive before we get home.

This story dedicated to Alan Dennis Kulwicki, December 14, 1954 – April 1, 1993.

Hearth's Warming is a wonderful time of year for most ponies. Getting together, singing, eating traditional foods, seeing old friends… and family.

But when that family is broken, or trying to heal, sometimes things can be a little harder.

Written for Admiral Biscuit, who requested some slice of life flavored with secondary background pones, as his Jinglemas 2023 gift! These may not be the most obscure, but theirs is a burgeoning family dynamic that I appreciated seeing. Cover art by mlplary6, source in image.

CW: Divorce, brief discussion of toxic relationships

Having a pony roommate was an adjustment; there was a lot about Earth she had to get used to . . . and a lot of ideas she'd brought with her that you had to get used to.

She was a heck of a cook, though, and didn't mind sharing, so you were more than willing to let her have the kitchen.

And then you came home and discovered that she was making butter. Which she must have known she could buy at the grocery store if she wanted butter.
