GM: Since we've been building up to it in our main game, how about we do a trial run of the Gala for tonight?
Insert: Two Hours Later
GM: So...what have we all learned tonight?
Bonnie: Pardon me?
Rainbow Dash: It's a roleplay thing we do, we 'write' a letter to the Princess about whatever lesson we learned
during the game on Friendship. I guess I can start us off.
Rainbow Dash: Dear Princess Celestia...I shouldn't try and melee an ooze.
Twilight Sparkle: I shouldn't have let Bonnie temporarily turn me into an Alicorn. We were useless.
GM: And?
Twilight Sparkle: And if I hadn't said she was going to be useless, she might not have.
Bonnie: Dear 'me', I shouldn't play a princess. Or render my party members 'useless'.
Rarity: I should have played Luna.
Applejack: Uh...I should have eaten before I left? Sorry, Applejack really didn't do anything wrong.
Marceline: I shouldn't have let that chimera dude walk my pet Ooze.
Fluttershy: We should have realized witha name like Discord.
Pinkie Pie: I have no regerts!
Marceline: Don't you mean regrets?
Pinkie Pie: Nope! What about you, Phoebe?
Phoebe: I should have had an afro.
Pinkie Pie: I like that one! Can we keep her?
Guest Author's Note: "As I said, Page 5 was when I realized there WAS an episode with all three of the GeMs pony personae. From there this little fast forward at the aftermath of what happens when GeMs and Ponies meet just felt a natural choice."
Newbiespud's Note: Looks like that might be it for guest comics! Thanks to Rastaba for providing me with a small holiday break! Also, this month's SpudShot was fantastic.

I'm reminded of times when hanging out with my siblings and we all end up thinking or saying the same thing. I often quip "Gee, it's like we're related."
I enjoyed it immensely! I know guest comics are generally considered not canon but until anything happens to prove them non canon I personally am going to consider the link with the Crystal GMs canon xD
...of course now we just need Spud to do a guest comic for the Crystal GMs (which I had a blast archive binging for the first time the other week!) :D
Long story short: Fluttershy invited Tree Hugger to that year's Gala. Discord is irked (and jealous) that she's not going with him, and in part to get back at her for "neglecting" him, attends with the Smooze, an ooze-like being from the G1 MLP series. Predictably, disaster strikes.
Notably, while the G4 Smooze has no taste for flesh, it does enjoy devouring treasure. And yes, Discord brought it into the Castle--where the walls are lined with treasure, there are closets full of treasure, and the guests are all walking around covered in treasure. Which is how we end off with a room-filling Smooze, out to gobble up the guests (and spit out a naked, slimy pony after a few seconds of slurping the jewelry off them. Yes, Rarity WAS its first target)

You know what you did...
And I approve.
"I didn't learn anything!"
