Naturally, everypony knows the story of how Twilight Sparkle met her friends, and how they all became the Elements of Harmony. The very subject is now taught in schools around Equestria, much to the chagrin of Twilight's children.

But not many ponies know of the story behind how Twilight ended up in a relationship with both Rainbow Dash and Applejack.

Now, her three children are going to hear that story. Whether they want to or not. Even if it takes nine more seasons.

Suit up.

================================

Princess Twilight Sparkle has been busy, what with dealing with supposedly reformed draconequui, restoring the ancient castle in the Everfree Forest, and making time helping the Cutie Mark Crusaders learn new skills. So when she finally gets a chance to relax, she decides to engage in her favorite pastime.

Reading!

Which would be a lot easier if Rainbow Dash didn't keep showing up and sitting on her. Or near her. And now she's so busy trying to figure out what her friend is up to, that she's losing out on precious reading time!

Will Twilight ever get to finish her book? Is Rainbow Dash pulling off the most elaborate prank in Ponyville history? Will there be a surprise guest appearance by David Pownie? Regrettably the answer to the last question is no, but find out the in the thrilling story: An Inconvenient Dash!

I saw the image used for the cover art and this story just kinda creeped into my head, and refused to leave. But hey, more Twidash is always a good thing right?

The image for the cover art belongs to Strange Danger, at least according to the watermark and derpibooru tag.

Twilight Sparkle is lonely. She didn’t realise it for the longest time, but when she met her friends, she began to understand she was lacking something in her life. Over time, she further understood that friendship was not all there was to knowing other ponies. And every year, a particular day comes around and reminds her of her romantic situation.

Even now that she's a princess, Hearts and Hooves day manages to remind Twilight that, once again, she is without a very special somepony. But, unbeknownst to her and those that will be involved, the end of this Hearts and Hooves day will herald the start of something wonderful for the new alicorn. Something strange and altogether new.

In fact, one could go so far as to say it will be quite curious.

When it comes to summer, most of us think about beaches, vacationing, travel, BBQ's, pool parties, etc. But for two girls, all they can think about is each other.

You've been a really great help to me for this story and deserve a lot of credit for helping me make it what it is. You're a really awesome person, and words can't even begin to describe how glad I am that you helped me out.

Warning: This story contains scenes of mild sexual content, some strong course language, and mild violence.

After Rainbow drops an offhoof comment about never dating, Pinkie decides to set her up on a date. A blind date.

For years Trixie has been living with a secret that has drove her to challenge Twilight Sparkle for the title of Equestria's greatest magician. Till now, no pony knew what that drive was, and once it is learned, can things ever be the same for them again? Or will this revelation bring about a change? Whether if it is for better or worse is for fate to decide.

My second entry for the Everfree Northwest 2014 Writing Contest

Featured on 2/27/14

Ponyville is a place where the impossible happens. This ranges from having a dragon as a neighbor to having an infestation of bugs that can eat things 100x their size. Though Ponyville is special, it's still an ordinary small town, and in small towns rumors travel fast. That's why when somepony figures out a way to explain everything bad that's happened, a whole town can turn on one pony. Even if that pony has helped them countless times. Even if that pony is royalty. Even if that pony is Twilight Sparkle.

Only one pony, the forever loyal Rainbow Dash, believes her when she says that she's innocent. The two of them will have to work together if they want to clear Twilight's name and prove that she's not the cause of everything that goes wrong in Equestria. They will have to work hard, though, if they want to win the fight against everypony in Ponyville, including even Twilight's closest friends.

Twilight and Rainbow trace back through the series of events that ultimately resulted in the formation of their relationship. A short story about cause and effect.

Also a little exercise in the sort of "logic vs. emotion" dynamic between Twilight and Rainbow.

Applejack has been thinking long and hard about Twilight. It's gotten to the point that she feels there could be something more to her thoughts. Eventually, she tries her luck and asks her out.

What she wasn't prepared for, however, was the whirlwind of events that would take place afterwards. Both for better and for worse.
