Friendship Letters

The smell of cheap Neighpanese takeout fills the tiny living room of a two bedroom apartment. Sat on the couch of the small living room, with food laid out on the coffee table in front of them, Nar sits with his new friend, Aki. A plasma TV sitting atop an entertainment center displays scenes from some sort of shonen anime. After finishing his plate of curry, and rice, Nar leans back into the couch with a contented sigh. Aki doesn't seem to notice, as she's fully invested in the anime they'r...

It's been less than a week since Attack on Mango reached the top of Equestria's music charts. Which, makes it a little weird that Nar has called a band meeting. With the band gathered in the living room of their shared house (Well, except for Scrappy.) all eyes are gathered on Nar. He stands beneath their large TV, a somber smile on his face. He looks a little nervous, but nobody knows why. The silence almost settles, but Nar breaks it before it can become awkward. "Guys. I know this might n...

With the sun reaching it's peak over the sky of Vanhoover, the city was beginning to come alive in full swing. Everybody is winding down from Mandy's party the day before, with many nursing the worst hangover they've ever had. Despite this, the city is still plastered with Attack on Mango merch, and decor. Seems the city's going to milk their cash-cow for as long as possible. As Nar skates through the streets, he looks around at his face plastered all over, alongside those of his friends. On...

Asuka hates being right. Last night, she said she'd expected a call from Spot the moment the news got out that they'd won the Battle of the Bands in Manehatten. Sure enough, not 30 minutes later, Spot had booked them a flight back to Vanhoover, and sent someone to go drive their tour van back to Vanhoover for them. The Equestrian Music Society wanted to hold a ceremony for Attack on Mango to claim the number one spot on the national music charts ASAP, and Spot chose the next night. The last 24 h...

Getting stood up on a date, and ghosted by the mare who asked you out in the first place, really stunk. Nar COULD feel sorry for himself... OR, he could- oh hey! A text from his friend, Spins! Meet up for pizza? Hell yes! Nar quickly begins to draft a reply, excited for some pizza with his friend whom he hasn't seen in quite a while. As Nar exits the little park he'd just been in, he stops to complete his reply to Spins. However, he can hear a sounds quickly approaching him from down the stree...

Professor Layton was sitting at his desk, sipping a cup of tea while quietly reading the newspaper. "I see the weather is going to be nice...," he said to himself as he put the newspaper down on the table. Unfortunately, before going for a walk, he had to finish examining the figure that had arrived this morning. No one knew where it came from, as it didn't seem to be from any known culture, so they decided to have Layton take a look at it, due to his reputation for solving even the greate...

After a long, 4 day drive, Attack on Mango has finally made it to the city of lights, Manehatten. The tour van pulls into a parking spot at a fairly well known Manehatten hotel, and the occupants all begin to pile out. As Asuka steps out of the tour van, she heaves a sigh of relief that she can finally stretch her legs. The band, and Deena meet on one side of the van to discuss plans for the rest of the day, but are stopped before any of them can get a word out. A group of 4 approaches the...

(A Fire Emblem Awakening Reincarnation Story)

(https://youtu.be/_TePxy7Hc3M?si=-235qI6PPKKdUDSB) Day 10. The last of the evidence has been presented, and closing arguments have been made. Now all that's left, is the verdict. ...

Day 8. After many days of evidence, testimony, and questioning, the trial was reaching it's conclusion. Following testimony from a captain of the Canterlot guard, multiple witnesses, the two guards who responded to the incident, and even the two guards who had been stationed to patrol the streets around the alley the night of the incident, it was time for one last witness. At this rate, Litigious is hoping for a lighter sentence for his client. He doubts their self defense angle has done muc...

A mind clicks back into place. Foggy at first, stirring from an extended period of vacancy.

Day Three. "The Prosecution calls the Defendant to the stand." Nar rises from his position at the defense table, and is escorted to the stand by the bailiff. As he sits, he is sworn in, and the prosecutor approaches the stand. ...

//in order to not have a storyline about a trial take as long as an actual trial, I will be splitting the witness testimony segments into their own stories. I'll only be addressing the most important testimonies, leaving the ones with less impact on the storyline out. Day 2, Asuka Yakushi. After being called to the stand, Asuka is sworn in, and Litigious Exculpation approaches to begin questioning. (https://youtu.be/RJ5eklOlrQE?si=UrImyqOzj3xHHCFb) ...

7:30 AM, Canterlot Courthouse, Courtroom C, Lobby. (https://youtu.be/3tgDWKlJsSM?si=KzOFV7m1iGNEIToz) Asuka Yakushi and her family sit patiently outside of the courtroom as her mother quietly reminds everyone about courtroom decorum. She's been drilling proper courtroom attire, and how to act inside into everyone's heads for the past few days now. It makes sense. She is an attorney herself, after all. Though, she deals with the civil courts, not the criminal courts. Though, the principals...

(( An off-season short horror story. I don't think I've ever posted this one, seeing that it's been sitting in my WIP folder for a while so.. Have at it! ))

1/9/25, 12 PM, Solaris Amphitheater, Canterlot. (https://youtu.be/YQSeg8QrW2M?si=dt0QUNq_E0iYwXP7) Scrappy peers out of the amphitheater's west tunnel, to a packed crowd. With a capacity in the tens of thousands, there isn't an empty seat in sight. It's the first time she's playing in front of a crowd with her new band, and it's by far the most important performance of their entire careers. Panic grips at Scrappy's heart, and she feels herself becoming faint. "My music career is over." She mu...

Beautiful Love, the younger sister of PB. Though separated from each other at her birth Beautiful Love was put up for adoption in a foster home within the multuverse. Now was the foster home a good one only time would tell.  As a filly Beautiful Love had to put all her faith in the caretakers provided for her and the others. She was a special foal one of the few born as an alicorn. Those with control over the foster homes' finances treated Beautiful Love better than the other fillies and foa...

After a long day of travel, Attack on Mango was happy to have made it to their hotel in Canterlot. With the holidays over, and a new year beginning, it was time for Attack on Mango to finally make their move for the number one spot on the Equestrian music charts. Juno unlocks the door to the suite the band will be staying in for their stay in the capitol. It's a snazzy 2 bedroom suite with a small living room/kitchen area, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a VERY luxurious bathroom. Not to mentio...

When PB lost her memory she felt no rage, no remorse but rather a simple peace that she hadn't felt in a long while. She passed out a way from most civilization not knowing what would await for her. As ponyville became more open to different species she, now a peanut butter pony applied for a role as a royal painter and artist hired by Prince Artemis and later on Princess Luna in another universe. She herself always favored the royalty of the night as if understanding even if just a small bit. W...

Tiny hands push on Nar's arm until he begins to rouse. His eyes begin to open, and his ears pick up a voice, but his brain doesn't quite process the words being said. The bed shakes slightly, and Nar finally turns to see who keeps pushing his arm. There, the excited face of Cookie bounces up, and down, just barely peeking above the bed. "Papa! Santa! Santa!" Instantly, Nar is wide awake. He begins to shuffle out of bed, only for Cookie to take off out of the room. Nar slips his slippers ...

"Ma'am, I have good news for you." The purple unicorn turned around in her swivel chair, her red eyes glaring at the stallion who had entered her office.  "Make it quick," she said.  "I have a hanging scheduled for this evening." "One of yours?" the stallion asked, a slight hint of teasing in his voice. The unicorn nodded.  "Is it ever not?  If it's not a criminal I found, it's a so-called 'criminal' I own."  She stood up, her face obscured by the shadows in the room.  "Now, tell me wha...

//Disclaimer: No, I did not actually write a song for this. I claim no ownership of the song used for this. The music video begins with a 3 second roll of the production company's logo, then fades to black. White text then appears, showing a disclaimer. "The stunts featured in this music video were done by an experienced professional with a permit to street skate. Attempting to re-create the stunts performed in this video could lead to injury, or jail time. Don't skate in the street kids. ...

The lands of the Dark World seemed to be at a low silence. The sounds of wind and storm casting over the darkened purple sky, providing a sort of calm ambiance. Upon the tallest mountain within this word, a being stood overlooking the dark lands below from a castle balcony. This figure was one as dark as a shadow. It had no detail appearance. It's appearance was shaped like a Alicorn sized dragon, though no mouth or eyes were seen on the figure in dark. Only physical features the resembled a dra...

Entering the library, Misty peers around at the small quantity of ponies rifling through the shelves and holding quiet conversations at the tables. A lot of rectangles around here. Squares, even. It's annoying. Out of nowhere, a librarian appears! What an unusual place to find such a person. "Excusez-moi?" Misty asks of the custodian, cautiously approaching. "Do you have any computers around here? The cool kind? With all the buttons and the mousepad?" She questions of the secretary, glanci...

"Knock knock!" Betty Yakushi opens the front door of her house to find the face of her son staring back at her. Oh! And he's carrying her granddaughter too! It's the first time she's gotten to see her in person! Betty's face lights up as her eldest children, and their best friend enter their home. "Kisho! Our favorite band is here!" She calls out to her husband, as she gives each of the young adults a hug. A few seconds later, her husband emerges from the kitchen with a 'Worlds Best Dad/Boss...

The hunt for a new keyboardist for Attack on Mango was on. The four current members of the band sit behind a desk inside a rented out studio, and wave goodbye to their most recent tryout. So far, every candidate that's come in has either just tried to play covers of their songs, or played some half-assed original composition that usually sucked. At this rate, it looked like it might take weeks before they find their new keyboardist. With only 10 minutes left before the auditions wrap up for t...

. The only fitting word comes to Verdant's mind as he ascends the crystal spire. Floor after floor of cobwebs is only part of it- some of the things he'd seen the past few hours predated the founding of Equestria. Perhaps predating even the first coming of the windigos! Where would you even find a thunderbird eye in the present day? Nevermind the fact that they've been extinct for at least two thousand years, thunderbirds  resided in the area Equestria occupies! And yet Verdant stops his asce...

It's been about 3 hours since the patrol started, but everything's gone smoothly so far. Wattzis Buckets, and Wildfire have been standing guard in the Lord's Manor since they arrived. There's been little to do, and conversation has to be kept to a minimum, so more than anything, Wattzis has been bored out of his mind. Such is the life of a guard. Wattzis' eyes move to watch as Lieutenant Spellsword enters the manor's atrium on her patrol route. She gives the two guards a short nod. Nothing to ...

((CONTENT WARNING: blood, gore, violence)) The hive was unusually cold.  Even less usual, it was empty.  As Spinneret wandered the ever-changing corridors, there was not a single changeling in sight.  She made her way to the dungeon, which conveniently doubled as the hive's mess hall; not even the prisoners-slash-meals were there.  Not only that, there was no trace of them ever being there, no remnants of changeling cocoons.  In fact, there was no sign that anycreature had ever been in the...

//Woe, introductory post be upon thee. For a guard, Ponyville was one of the best places to be stationed. Whattzis Buckets woke up every day, excited to protect the town he'd grown up in. He loved to patrol the streets, converse with the townsfolk, and help them when they needed it. He particularly liked when the schoolhouse reached out to him to read to the children. They were always so excited to see a guard in person, and he loved to read them stories of the great heroes of old. Today w...

The Voices are all consuming. Fear, Pain, and Suffering surround Nar in a cacophony that tears away at his very being. He can feel the tendrils of the Voices attempting to rip apart his mind, and steal the memories within. He screams, but it only joins the thousands of other screams coming from within the Voices. There is no defense against the Voices once you're in it's clutches. Deep within the parts of Nar's mind, not yet under assault, he knows it's only a matter of time before he becomes li...
