Day 2- Centaur
Her hooves thunder against the ground as she races against the stallion. She pours more and more effort into each gallop, trying to get an edge. Faster and faster she charges, nimbly dodging tree and bush. She’s almost there. She can see the old cottage, their finish line come into view but something isn’t right. A presence.
“Hey, Karl. Do you hear something?” a well-built lumberjack says to his coworker, chainsaw in hand.
“Yeah, sounds like a horse galloping nearby. Odd, I don’t recall ever seeing any in this forest.” His mate, a more lanky, but still strong enough to wield a chainsaw of his own

Spooktober 1- Harpy
She eyes up her opponent. He’s tall, dark and dangerous;
A worthy adversary.
She studies his movements. They have a practiced ease about them.
He is ready to make a move.
Her talons dig into the ground. The first to move, loses.
So lost in anticipation she almost doesn’t notice his approach but she’s ready.
“So, what’s a cute harpy like you doing in a rough place like this?”
“Cuteyouareum,Iermdateyeswouldyou?”
Nailed it.
He just laughs. A beautiful, wonderful song that melts away her nervousness.

Chapter 8: Star Trot- The Next Generation
The white flash subsided as Equestria prime came into view. Despite being to space several times, I still found it amazing to see my home planet as a small blue marble. But introspection is for a different time.
“Stardust, anything on the sensors?”
“Negative, captain.”
“I don’t like this. To quote a movie cliché: it is quiet, too quiet,” Royal asserted.
“Actually, captain, I am getting lots of radio and video transmissions on the comm.” Unremarkable contradicted.

Chapter 7: To Boldly Go Where Nopony Has Gone Before
It is a race against time. The Chitin ship is nowhere to be seen, my friends are dying and Equestria might be in danger. I barrel on through the empty halls of the Friendship making as much haste as I possibly can with my companions panting by my side and the deformed, unconscious and brainwashed Cream Pie held in my telekinesis as we rush to the shuttle. I pant a sigh of relief as the awaiting shuttle comes into sight. I take a second to catch my breath before signaling Royal’s shuttle.
“Royal here,” he said grimly. He

A sat there crying on my bed for a time, but I decided that shedding tears wasn’t going to fix anything. Only by confronting the problem could I resolve it. Just I only hoped that I could placate both of my friends in an amiable manner that left nopony raw.
I headed down to the brig and had a brief conversation with them, reminding them that they are officers on my ship and this behavior is hardly befitting for ponies of their stature. I also reminded them that I do rely on them to keep the Magic functioning and we really need to

Chapter 5: To Explore Strange New Worlds
Night came and went with our royal guest amazing pony and bird alike with her moonrise and set. The morning found me refreshed, but still sore from my exploits of the previous day. I decided to hit my day head-on with a good breakfast and some small talk with the Princess before she called it a night (or day as it were). Now that things were calm, I decided to hit up Captain Swift on her offer to tour her ship.
The Avian ship seemed almost cramped, despite the high ceilings and large rooms. The Magic is by no means a large ship, but I felt that my own shi

I awoke to sunshine and birds chirping. I slowly opened my eyes and gazed upon a green field, a small grove of trees, a bunch of nice little flowers and a small family of bunnies hopping by. “You’re awake, eh?”
“Honeycrisp?”
“That’s my name, don’t wear it out.”
“Where am I?”
“In the core room on board the Magic.”

“Just five more minutes, Mom.”
“Captain Sparkle, your presence is requested on the bridge.”
I groaned, sleepily opened my eyes and unleashed a yawn that could terrify a manticore. “Alright, Joe. I’ll be right up.”
The intercom clicked off and I let loose another yawn and rolled out of bed with a lack of grace resulting in a tangled mess of sheets and me on the floor of my room. I groaned again and mumbled under my breath as I released myself from the grip of my sheets. Grabbing a manebrush, I styled m

The brilliant white light began to fade as the bridge came into focus. I looked around at my fellow officers, all in various states of daze and confusion due to the sudden interstellar transport. Joe, in particular, wore a wall-eyed expression that reminded me of a certain pegasus mare back in Ponyville. I took a moment to regain my composure and looked out the main viewing screen. Only black space with glowing, twinkling stars met my gaze.

Chapter 1: Space, the Final Frontier
Have you ever been on a starship? I can tell you it is the most terrifying and amazing feeling I have ever experienced. There are but a meter or two of thick steel, bulkheads, wires and magical shielding between you and the vacuum of space. A rogue meteor or asteroid could end you, your friends and your ship in one fail swoop. But there also is a great awe and power to be felt here, like nowhere else. This amazing machine was built by pony, griffin and dragon teamwork to travel the stars. Nopony would have thought that Equestrians would one day be able to

Troublemaker Ch26: Reinforcement
(Content warning: Strong language, Long story, skunk post-tf) First chapter (recommended for newcomers) Previous chapter Chapter 26: Reinforcement It was the 24th of May, but that didn’t matter. Out of breath, Sam had stopped in a small open area in the woods. She had been running for 10 minutes straight, trying to get as far away from the library as possible. Sam fell to her knees, huffing and gasping for her dear life; it took a while before she came back to her senses. As she looked around the area, she was blinded by sunlight reflecting on a small body of water. Sam slowely crawled towards the pond, hoping that it could freshen her up. She didn’t think about it, but once she leaned in, she realized that she made a fatal mistake. There, in the clear water, was a face she had never seen before. It was unkempt, beastly, and it mimicked her every movement. Sam never got a good look at herself. The shadows of the basement cell had hidden her changes from her, but now that
