No Lightby Vargras "Who's she?" Captain Shining Armor stopped and shut his eyes, sighing. He was so close to the door, so very close to leaving for the day and heading back home to his wife, and then this happened. He didn't really mind some of the questions that this recruit had the tendency to ask - after all, his very own sister was also the inquisitive sort - but sometimes it became a little too much. Curiosity killed the cat, as the saying went. The unicorn slowly turned about to face the recruit, and he opened his eyes once more as he looked upon the guard. "Do you really need to know, Neophyte Ferous?" The neophyte

Hard Times Another day had come and gone on Sweet Apple Acres. It had been a good applebucking season so far, and despite being utterly exhausted by their efforts that day, Applejack simply couldn't fall asleep. She would toss and turn in her bed, trying to catch the least bit of shuteye, but to no avail - frustrated, the mare rolled out of bed and paced her room. The oddest feeling was nagging at her, and she almost felt as if this were something like her friend's 'Pinkie Sense'. "Naw. I know Pinkie Sense, and this ain't it." She huffed and continued to pace about, sometimes staring out her window at the moonlit orchar

Unintendedby VargrasShe wasn't entirely sure how, but they had ended up playing Truth or Dare. Twilight Sparkle was in the middle of hosting a party at her home, and all of her friends had been invited. Thus far, the truths and dares themselves had been surprisingly tame - the very worst they had done had simply involved admitting crushes, or doing silly things in front of the others. Nothing too severe. Twilight turned towards Rainbow Dash and smiled. "Alright, Rainbow. Your turn!" The pegasus rubbed a hoof against her chin as she briefly thought of what to do, but a grin soon began to spread across her face. "Alrighty... I p

Hiatusby Vargras"Ah, good! You're awake! Good morning, little sister." Luna stared at Celestia through half-open eyes and threw a pillow over her head. "Just five more minutes, 'Tia." Celestia grabbed the sheets in her mouth, giving it a good tug and pulling her sister along with it. Luna lay sprawled on the floor and quietly groaned, a mixture of pain and simply not wanting to get up. She slowly gathered the sheets around her, burying herself with them. Her sister, a smile upon her face, feigned disappointment as she approached the pile of snoring sheets. "I guess you leave me no choice, Luna." Luna's eyes su

Stuck In The Middle With Youby Vargras"Luna, I thought of something the other night before I fell asleep. Care to hear it?" The Princess of the Night sighed and took another bite out of her donut. It was morning in Equestria, and though this was essentially bed-time for Luna, she had stayed up so she could have breakfast with her sister. It was hard to believe that it had already been two years since her return, yet the calendar in her room clearly said 'June' on it. The young Princess lifted up her glass of orange juice with her magic and took a quick drink before setting it back down upon the table. "Go ahead and tell me, 'Tia." "Well, I

What Must Be Doneby VargrasChapter: A Shared Fate Chapter: A Shared FateFor neophyte Ferous, it was the end of yet another shift. He had only been a member of the Royal Guard for less than a week, and already, he felt as if he was beginning to really fit in. This had been his dream since he was but a colt, and though it was a dream shared by others within Equestria, only a rare few ever managed to pass the admission process. It was something that made the young Ferous quite proud of himself, and his parents were just as proud and happy as he was. The white stallion already had plans for the night - or he did have plans, at least. He was goin

No Lightby Vargras Tea for two - never in her wildest dreams would she have guessed that such an inconspicuous term would cause her to be so afraid. To any other pony, an invitation to have tea with Princess Luna seemed like a rather lovely state of affairs. Few ponies ever got to have any personal time with the Royal Sisters, and to have a chance at such a thing seemed like it would be sure to make one's day. Captain Procella, of course, knew otherwise. Despite being one of the many bat ponies or, as she would be quick to correct, 'opliptera', the Captain had managed to make a bit of a name for herself. Built just as thinly as their pegasi c
