It's that time of year again. The leaves are turning, the air is cooling, and the chimneys are smoking.

But to a young Shining Armor, this can only mean one thing: pony flu season has arrived. And, thanks to his mother, this inevitably means a date with the dreaded needle.

Only this time, Shining isn't the only one who has to be worried. His filly sister is coming along for the ride for the first time... albeit, against her will.

And despite having fears of his own, Shining Armor knows that, for Twilight's sake... somepony has to be brave.

Warning: Cuteness abound.

I'm in a hospital bed with tubes coming out of orifices I didn't know I had. Why am I there? Why is Rainbow Dash sitting in the corner?

Why is she crying?

Quizzical Greystone has just come to Ponyville as an assistant in Friendship Research. Such a socially inept filly might not be the best pony for the job. But this just might be the job she needs. If you can't make friends in Ponyville can you make friends anywhere?

Sequel to A Mourning Heart
Three weeks have passed since Tacitus first arrived in Ponyville, and he is happier than he has been in a long time. He has a nice home, a job, and most importantly, wonderful friends that he loves dearly. But something is wrong in Ponyville. Ponies all over town, all over Equestria in fact, are suffering from an illness that Tacitus recognizes all too well. When Celestia sends him and his friends to discover the cause of the illness, they find a much more sinister plot in the works. An ancient and forgotten darkness is rising and threatens to engulf the world, and Tacitus, who has finally been able to let go of the grief of his past, must face it once again as shocking revelations are brought to light. Tacitus and his friends must stop this threat before it destroys everything they hold dear.

This is my second story and a sequel to "A Mourning Heart." I hope you all enjoy this story, because I'm going to have a blast writing it, and I hope you will comment and tell me your thoughts, opinions, and criticisms.
