Mort Takes A Holiday Rewrite Sneak Peak, Part 2
Mort stood frozen to the spot, his head craning up to maintain (reluctant) eye contact with the alicorn. Thanasia towered over him, her ashen body and rigid form almost making her look like a small monument. Even her expression was stone-faced.
"T-talk?" he squeaked out, trying to keep his teeth from chattering. "T-talk about what?"
She arched an eyebrow, looking vaguely bemused. "I believe you know. In fact, I know you know."
Mort gulped. The benefits of a mental link meant instantaneous communication, no matter where you were, or how far you were separated. The downside was that you inevitably got peeks into the psyche of the one you wer

Mort Takes A Holiday Rewrite Sneak Peak, Part 1
From Terry Trotchett's A Concise History of Equestria:
If you were to ask ponies what they thought of Equestria, there would typically be one of three responses.
Most would happily go on about how it's one of, if not the, most beautiful land they've ever laid eyes on. When its lush, sprawling forests aren't meeting you at every turn, you're instead walking through flat, green plains that are punctuated with fields of flowers both unique and sweetly fragrant. The animals, use to the care of the equine inhabitants, are incredibly friendly and would like nothing more than to nuzzle up against some passerby. Not to mention that that most of the

A thunderous roaring of hooves and wild cheers shook the ancient stonework and columns of the starlit colosseum. The scene was alive, more alive than it had been in ages, perhaps in all the years and centuries since the first note was ever played in its heart. Everypony who was anypony was there, hollering and stamping with wild abandon as if to outdo each other. Their shouts and adulations were cast back and forth across the grand open space, where a regal figure was making her way towards the lonely player at the center of all the attention. Such was the din and clamor that the young pr
"Would you tell anypony if you knew the world was going to end?"
Twilight Sparkle paused in the middle of raising a steaming cup of cocoa to her lips and stared at Carrot Top. "The world? Going to end?"
Carrot Top just nodded, her face a blank slate.
Twilight took a quick sip before she replied. "Well, hypothetically speaking-"
"No," Carrot cut in, then softened her voice. "No, not just hypothetically. Please, think about this before you answer."
Twilight shook her head. "But there's so much I don't know." She rose to her hooves and paced back and forth across the hardwood of the library's floor. "Would it happen all at once, like an exp
Discord sighed as he flopped pathetically to the ground on his rear, glaring over his wife's 'to do' list. It was so long! Why was a royal King's chore list so long? They had servants for this kind of thing! This was why they had servants!
It will teach you some responsibility, Celestia had told him sternly, wagging a hoof like a mother scolding her naughty child. Ugh. Responsibility. It sucked.
"Like a king doesn't have enough responsibilities," the draconequus muttered. "Whatever happened to the 'royalty can do whatever they want' rule?" He narrowed his eyes as Celestia's little know-it-all student piped up smugly from where she was bou

Cherish Before You Can't
(Author's Note: This is the very first collaborated story I have ever posted, but this was just...gold and needed to be posted. I'm Twilight (for once), and my good friend TaylorRose16 is Discord. Be warned - you may cry. It's long, but is it ever worth it. Also, excuse weird paragraphing, but it was really being a bitch today. XD
Let us begin. :heart:)

The ivory form could be seen from at the top of one of Canterlot's hills, and Twilight watched, smiling as her teacher rose a glorious sun. It dap

The Moon And Stars Will Protect You
Childish scribbles and scrawls of hearts filled the bright fuzzy construction paper as she merrily worked away at her craft, smearing glue and fragments of raw macaroni all over it; even pasting dabs of glitter here and there. Her pictures of her parents were messy, and none of their legs were the same size, but she loved it all the same.
"It's almost done!" Twilight exclaimed happily, adding a few more blobs of glitter and smearing them over the sky. "Isn't it so pretty?" Just then, a rain of juice drips and tiny pieces of apple splattered her beautiful creation. Lip trembling angrily, the filly spun to the culprit.
"Uncle Discor
The light from Celestia's noontime sun brightly shone into Twilight's sleeping face, causing the unicorn to cover her face with a foreleg. "Mmmph, 5 more minutes... I was up studying, ma..." Twilight's voice, still drowsy, didn't want to give in to the warm sun ray's urging her awake.
But, try as she might, the warmth from the sun gently urged her from her slumber. Giving a sigh, the unicorn slowly opens her first her left eye... Then her right eye creeps open as she stumbles out of her sleeping nook. Still half-asleep, Twilight trips down the steps and into the kitchen. "Mmmm, need tea... Wha-what happened last night...?" The last thing she
