Swarm of the Century


Iris laughed as she watched the chaos ensue. “Don't you just love it when everything goes wrong right before someone important is supposed to show up?”

Platter swung the pan in his teeth again, trying to protect the apples he'd been bringing home. “Iris. Shut it and help me keep these things away.”

“I got it!” He heard Twilight Sparkle shout, &ldquo

Bridle Gossip


Platter looked out the window, “huh. She's standing out there again.”

Iris nodded and turned the page of her book, “mhm. Probably just trying to figure out why everypony hides whenever she comes into town. She'll walk away right about. . .now.”

As if coordinating with the unicorn, the zebra turned and walked back towards Everfree.

“Iris

Dragonshy


“How was your trip to Hoofington?” Iris asked, walking next to Platter.

“Well, over all, it was nice. Mom's doing pretty well lately,” he responded, “and we saw a few shows.”

“And what caused you to miss the train home?”

Platter snickered a bit, “rather hard to board when you're the size of a doll. A bit of a shrinki

Boast Busters


The sky blue unicorn smiled, loving the cheers of her audience as she pulled a volunteer from the crowd. The chocolate brown earth pony came onto the stage, glancing at the audience as he did.

“Alright, I’ve got my volunteer,” Trixie said, “what's your name?”

The stallion blinked as she put him into the spotlight for the moment, “uh, Silver Platter.”

Griffon the Brush Off


Platter smiled as he walked into Sugarcube Corner. The guest of honour at this welcome party, according to Iris, was a griffon. A simple glimpse of the creature by the cake confirmed this. She had a strong build, white feathers, and brown fur. Her eyes were a shade of gold that matched her beak pretty closely. She had just blown out the candles across the cake. Then they reignited. Along with the rest of the crowd, Platter broke int

Season


Platter reached the podium on the stage, unwittingly interrupting the purple unicorn and setting her cue cards fluttering to the stage, “AppleJack has also offered to help me now the lawn around the town square. The place is starting to look like Everfree by now.”

His eyes widened slightly as he was unceremoniously teleported back into the crowd next to Iris, his cre

The Ticket Master


Silver Platter stretched out as he lay on the green and silver lounge chair he'd brought to the lake. In the distance, he heard the usual commotion from town. “what is it this time?” he smirked a bit, not expecting an answer as he drifted off to sleep, taking a much needed nap.

“Twilight Sparkle has an extra ticket to the G3,” the cobalt blue mare said to herself, straightening her glas

Friendship is Magic: Part II


“I just had to take that wrong turn. . .” Platter groaned as he walked through the darkness of the Everfree, “this place is so creepy. . .”

His thoughts were interrupted as a pair of large feline paws gripped his sides and he was lifted off the ground.

The earth pony screamed and thrashed in an attempt to escape the beast that held him. He looked up, w

Friendship Is Magic: Part 1





Silver Platter didn't much care for the Summer Sun Celebration, especially when it was on a Tuesday. The chocolate brown earth pony had work to do the next morning, and staying up until dawn was detrimental to that task. This year, however, a late night was the least of his worries. The sound of ponies screaming in the streets woke him this morning, prompting him to look out his windo
