Understudy (Luna's fic)CHAPTER 1: LUNA'S NEW ROLECelestia slowly opened her royal eyelids. She really hated that moment when she needed to wake up before the sunrise and make the sun appear in the sky. She was the Princess but everypony in Equestria could sleep a little bit longer than her! She scrambled out of the bed and continued her usual morning routine. “Hey, sister. Have a nice day,” Princess Luna greeted her and then entered her chamber without waiting for a response. Luna was sleepy as well. “A day indeed, but nice? I doubt it,” Celestia murmured and then raised the sun effortlessly. “What a boring job, really. I think
Pinkie Promise Goes WrongPinkie Pie was looking sadly at her freshly baked cake. Something was bothering her. She touched it with her hoof and winced. “Something’s wrong, Pinkie?” Twilight asked her friend worriedly. “Nah, it’s just... I’ve run out of ideas for new recipes,” she answered, taking a bite of the cake. “This one is good but I've eaten it so many times...” “Well," Twilight began, her good-natured side shining through. "I could fetch you the cookbook I recently found in my basement, if you'd like” Whilst cleaning out some of the old junk from old experiments, and studies, Spike had rum
I'm a Pony. And I Must ScreamI woke up. I had my eyes closed but I was sure it was dark in the room. I didn't feel my body. My legs, my arms... It felt like there was nothing. Just my head. I thought it was just a hangover. I usually drank a lot so it had to be this. I opened my eyes. Something was not right. My roommates, Dave and Paul were staring at me. "Guys? Were you watching me sleep?" I asked. My voice didn't sound natural. It was a bit... scratchy. And feminine. Yep, definitely the hangover, I thought. "Josh?" Dave asked me. Both of them were gazing at me, curiosity on their faces was beaming at me. "Yeah... Guys? What's going on?" I was getting a bit ner
Spike's Alternative CrushSpike was observing Rarity’s house from nearby bushes. That was one of those days when his obssession about the white unicorn was driving him crazy. He couldn’t stop that. He obviously knew that there was a line he couldn’t cross in his urge to be together with her. Therefore, he could be staying in his shelter for a really long time catching glimpses of his crush. From time to time he could come up to the window to see her closer. Sometimes he hated himself for falling in love with her so easily because he was aware of the fact that he had little chances with her. But why did he have to hide himself? Rarity knew him an
Twilight and Pinkie's Awkward Date"Cupcakes? Check! Punch? Check! Balloons? Check! A bottle for 'Spin the bottle'? Check! Phew! This is the last thing on the checklist," said Pinkie Pie as she showed Twilight the agenda. "You see, Pinkie? Twilight said, grinning. "A good checklist makes everything easier." "I don't get it, Twilight." Pinkie was slightly confused. "Why do I need a checklist. I always know what I need to prepare for a party and I keep that in my head." "Um..." Twilight felt embarassed but she managed to make an awkward grin. "Yeah... Memorizing can sometimes work too until you forget something." "My parties usually need just several things, Twilight. Ho
Twilight Is a Bad LibrarianTwilight was sitting in the middle of the library and observed the books. Nothing unusual was going on but she was frowning all the time. "SPIKE!" she shouted. Her assistant ran into the room as fast as he could. "What, uh, happened, Twilight, uh?" he asked panting. "Just look at these shelves," she said angrily. Spike was a bit confused. "What? Are you gonna reshelf them again or what?" "No, Spike! The shelves are full of books!" Twilight was getting more and more angry. She could easily explain to Spike what was going on but instead, she expected him to guess. "Um, yeah, I see. Books. In the library." Spike rolled his eyes. "I
