Everypony, Shut Up! (We Have an Election) Gilda has been making headway in Grifonstone with the spread of friendship and not being greedy all the dang time. They’re doing so well, in fact, that for the first time in decades, the griffons are ready to hold elections and not just vote of themselves or for “bits”. Unfortunately, the only ones running are Gruff, who wants the mayor’s salary but hasn’t thought it through any further than that, and Gilda, who’s heavily expected to win, given that she has friends and Gruff really does not. Which sucks, because Gilda doesn’t want the job and only became a candidate because other griffons basically peer pressured her into it. When it looks certain that she’ll win, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Twilight and for some reason Cranky Doodle Donkey all come to her with unsolicited advice that makes it clear they’re talking out their plots.
Owner of a Stone-ly Heart Igneous Pie and Cloudy Quartz are thinking about retirement from the rock farm and handing over the reins to Limestone. As part of the Pie family tradition, Limestone is sent to the Choosing Stone to find a mate, then get married, have foals and one day, give the farm to one of them. She goes on the journey to find the stone with Pinkie and Marble and admits that she has some tiny amount of interest in finding love, but isn’t really sure how it’s supposed to work. And neither do her traveling companions, so they are little to no help. They arrive at the Stone and, to Limestone’s chagrin/relief, it doesn’t have a match for her. How will she ever own a rock farm now!?
No-Shiny-Teeth and Me The amazing true story of how Pinkie met Gummy! And also two non-true stories, because Pinkie likes the “If I’m gonna have a past, I’d rather it be multiple choice” school of thought.
Trixie and the Disillusions Trixie sees Starswirl display some of his magic and realizes she’ll ever be as powerful as he is. She’ll never be the most powerful unicorn, even in only her own time. This sends her spiraling into…let’s call it ‘discouragment’, to the point that even her long-accepted knowledge that the princesses will always be more powerful than her becomes harder to take.
