Comedy
An Imaginative Performance by Bob From Bottles
It’s once again time for Ponyville’s annual school performance. This year, it’s a musical retelling of a story about what it means to be a hero. With curtains only minutes away from rising, each student is finding their own way to deal with the pressures of being on stage. Some have no fear at all, while others are just hoping to get the night over with. A few even distract themselves by pretending the audience is doing something silly. Then, there's Apple Bloom, who imagines everything happening on stage is real, regardless if it makes sense or not.
Colts Will Be Colts by Trick Question

Scootaloo is crushed when Sweetie Belle decides she'd rather go to the Sisterhooves Social with Rarity than play at being police robot Roboclop with her. Scootaloo has a plan.

Nothing can go wrong - after all, isn't that what friendship is all about?

Inspiration is Rarity's Element, and Sweetie Belle her greatest achievement. But the filly has questions, ones that Rarity might not be able to answer on her own. What makes a pony?

If Sweetie Belle is nothing more than a collection of wires, is she truly alive?

Light The Sky On Fire by EquesTRON
“Most pegasi figure out flying easily enough. Heck, most of them figure out how to do it before they even get their cutie marks. But not me. I couldn’t do it, no matter how hard I tried. I couldn’t even hover. Not for more than a few seconds, anyway. And not even Rainbow Dash, the greatest flier in Equestria, could seem to help me. We tried everything, and I failed every time. Day after day, I tried – and day after day, I failed...until the day I succeeded. The day I lit the sky on fire.”

Some friends are just too loyal to let you go.

In the years since, they have been reduced to dumpster diving and street life. Apple Bloom, unwilling to continue in such a state, violates her elder sister's wishes in order to find help from Applejack's friends, who surely must be better off. Unfortunately, Apple Bloom's journey to Canterlot shows her the true fates of the bearers of the Elements of Harmony, who are as unable to help Apple Bloom as they are to help themselves. Apple Bloom's desperation grows with each reunion. In the end, she must turn to powers greater than begging to save her own future and those of many others.
Goodbye Horses by A Hoof-ful Of Dust
Apple Bloom thought scissors meant her cousin was a mane stylist...
The Flower Mare by Flammenwerfer
The Crusaders sometimes form conclusions and make decisions based on impulsivity and gut feelings rather than rational thought. So, when they meet Ponyville’s newest, specialty flower vendor—a young, quiet mare from Alemaneia named Schneeblume—Scootaloo immediately begins to suspect something… that behind her quiet exterior, that bright smile, and those kind eyes, she's hiding something sinister. Well, technically, she is... but perhaps not in the manner they expected. In the end, the three quickly-growing fillies may find that their cutie marks and their penchant for helping ponies may come in a different fashion than they're used to.
