For those of you who want to know, Peg Bowen is a wise old lime green pony who owns a pet raven and lives in the middle of the forest. She serves a similar purpose in this series as Zecora does in Friendship is Magic, except Peg's less foreign. Patch has two tree consciences that she can communicate with. Bon Bon and Clover discover they can communicate with them as well later on. In a few episodes, Clover takes care of Cheval's dog Caesar, but has trouble handling his difficult nature due to her clumsiness. This series in itself is set after the first original season of Tales.

I made these on the MLP Arena a while back. Here they are: 1. "The Stolen Homework": Melody's homework is stolen by Teddy and the ponies and the wise old pony Peg Bowen must help her find it. 2. Bon Bon Babysits: Bon Bon is given the lofty task of babysitting Jingaling and Tingaling while Melody is at a concert. 3. Starlight's Secret: Starlight tries methods to impress Ace. 4. The Soccer Match: An exciting soccer match takes place. 5. Too Many Cookies: Bon Bon eats too many cookies and get sick. 6. Bright Eyes Gets a "B": Bright Eyes gets a B- and she thinks this is because of a certain music at the ice cream shop. 7. Boys Vs. Girls: A game of Capture the Flag wages a war between boys ands girls. 8. The Run-Amuck Robot: Bright Eyes invents a robot for a science project, but it goes rogue. 9. Feel the Beat: Battle Of the Bands is coming up, but Melody is out of song ideas. 10.Patch's Adventure: Patch goes on a quest to find out who she really is. 11.Sky Lancer: Lancer, along with his friends, set out to see if flying ponies really exist. 12. Ready, Teddy: Sweetheart and her friends help Teddy get ready for a math test, a subject he is bad at. 13. Taffy Terror: Teddy challenges Bon Bon to make taffy for the summer fair. 14. The Scavenger Hunt: The girls and Lancer enter a scavenger hunt, but the hunt heats up when Bon Bon falls into a ravine and must be saved. 15. Ace of Clubs: Ace starts a fan club for himself, but the girls oppose of this. 16. Be My Valentine: It's Valentine's Day, and Mr. Tidwell accidentally switches all the cards in the school. 17. Dasher and Dancer and Lancer and Vixen: Lancer tries to get a great Christmas present for Bright Eyes, but it leads him into many problems. 18. Bright Eyes' Bright Idea: After seeing the park in a state of disrepair, Bright Eyes decides to invent a club to pick up trash. 19. A Clothes Peg: The friends venture into the Old Woods to learn the secrets of the mysterious and spooky old pony, Peg Bowen. 20. Clover Loses Her Marbles: A marble craze hits the school, and Clover loses every single round. 21. The Magic Crystal Caper: The friends go on a mission to find a mysterious emerald, but Teddy follows them and causes some unexpected trouble, along with Clover's dog Caesar. 22. Pony Land Witch: Clover is cursed by Peg Bowen and fears she will lose a math contest. 23. Ace the Test: The ponies take a long, hard test, and Ace gets a good score on it by cheating. 24. The Nutcracker Crack Up: Clover gets the part of a soldier in the Nutcracker performance, but she is nervous about messing up. 25. Caves of Doom: Patch finds a strange cave and ventures into it with her friends. 26. Battle Of the Bands 2: Rockin' Unbeatable: Melody goes onto a winning streak in Battle Of the Bands and she lets the confidence go to her head. So, any thoughts on these ideas? (I actually wrote some of them up to Sky Lancer).

I am here to revive this thread. There are many Tales UK comics (a good amount of which I own), a backpack (with Starlight, Patch and Bon Bon on), an umbrella (with Starlight and Bon Bon on), a Rollerskate Melody alarm clock and a chocolate coin box (with Starlight, Bright Eyes, and Bon Bon on). Has anyone else found any other Tales merchandise?

Became a member and created some topics, including Minty's Tale, my cross-generation (mostly G3) fanfic.

I find it interesting how the comics follow the cartoon continuity EXACTLY, so many things from the Tales series, such as the Starlight/Ace thing (they were seen sitting together on one cover) are expanded upon in the comics. Also, Kat, I have 205, and so will be able to tell you its content (since you already have some information from MLP and Friends 46, strangely enough, where do you get that information from?). The stories are: Ms. Hackney's New Project: Ms. Hackney gives the kids a homework project where they must invent something original. Starlight and Sweetheart work together to make a new hairstyle, Bon Bon makes a new recipe for something, and so on. On the date the project is due, the kids show up with their respective projects, all except Patch, who is late, but instead shows up with a homemade yet functioning gocart. There is also one other recycled story from a earlier comic about the 'Amazing Odzukins' returning and something about Baby Mischief. Activities included a board-game type one about school and a school-related wordsearch. None of the boys show up in the issue, except Teddy, who shows up in a Bon Bon diary entry at the end as a red pony with blue hair.

Some very funny pieces of Patch-related dialog in this one. It looks like Flare is turning out to be a very interesting character. By the way, Episode 19 doesn't seem to be there yet. At least, the last time I checked...

So Teddy has had a change of heart! I'm interested to see where you're going to take this. Will Ace be 'reformed' as well at some point during this season or the next one?

Mr. Tidwell felt more like a plot device in his appearance in Stand By Me, as the one who put the cassette player in the Lost and Found box, which is a shame, because there are many things that could have been done with him. I wrote a fanfiction in a notebook once about Starlight, Bright Eyes, Patch, Clover, Ace and Lancer discovering that Ms. Hackney and Mr. Tidwell's pasts are linked (rather like the Starlight/Ace/Melody thing, where Ms. Hackney is Ace, Mr. Tidwell is Starlight, and Mr. Kidoo is Melody, putting it that way), although that would be presumably just silly. So, he really does have a lot of potential, and could have been used in other episodes. Starswirl's Tales fanfics feature him a few times (Lost N Found on the Ground from the Tales series and Jiggles and Wiggles from the Pudgyville series to name a few).

Anyone have a Clover toy? She's pretty difficult to find and I'd like to see one. Also, looks like I'm a Tales Fan now!

Anyone have her? The blue and orange of her body and hair really go together, but I'm not sure if the pose suits her...

Does anyone have any customs of Teddy, Ace or Lancer? I know Teddy has some (I've seen her website), so are there any others out there?

I'd have liked to see the Rockin' Beats get individual personalities. Also, an explanation for why they're never seen at school, maybe they go to a different one from Melody? Seems strange why Melody didn't choose some of her own friends for the band.
