Twilight Sparkle can't fly. She's tried as hard as she can, but she can barely lift her hooves off the ground without smacking her face into something. Rainbow Dash has tried to teach her a thing or two about it, but it only leads to failed attempts and frustrated antics.

Princess Celestia decides that this will not do. A princess who cannot fly is not much of a princess at all. She asks the captain of the Wonderbolts to remedy the problem before the public learns of Twilight's shortcomings. As they spend more and more time together, Spitfire and Twilight will forge a bond far stronger than that of a simple student teacher relationship.

The cover art for this story was commissioned from a very talented artist on another site by me.

What lengths would you go to for family? Would you care for them? Be honest with them? Keep a secret for them? Sometimes, family relationships can become strained or volatile. But once you feel love towards your kin, it never truly dies. A certain dress-maker from Ponyville can attest to that fact, in more than one situation. But when a secret she and her sister tried to hide begins to fall apart, a secret that hides a past so painful it brings tears to her eyes just to think of, will she be able to tell the ponies she loves the truth?

Octavia and Harmonia Philharmonica were on their way to Manehattan, ready to fulfill their duty as granddaughters and visit Nana. Vinyl Scratch and her brother Long Play were traveling back home from a concert in Canterlot, the first that Vinyl had ever attended. Pure serendipity facilitated these pairs' first meeting.

(Inspired by the pure adorableness that is the cover art)

Isn't it strange how all what was nothing one minute can be all that matters to you the next? Vinyl Scratch goes to the Celebration of Equestrian Music, where music is all that matters. But while she's there, she spots something she didn't expect to see, and now all that matters is making sure her eyes do not leave the sight.
Thank you for reading this and enjoying it (or not), and please tell me what you think of it in the comments. Pull no punches, I want to know how it is.
Cloudy Skies, Yayflutters, and Mysteriousstranger are all great writers who I would like to thank for inspiration. Thetwentiest would normally be on this list, but since he writes so rarely I literally thought he had died, his position has been sold to both ShotgunNeko and Appledashfan132 until further notice.
If you enjoyed this and want to read more, take a look at "The Days to Remember" by Appledashfan132, as it was co-written by me.

While out in the rain, Rainbow Dash is greeted by the last pony she'd expect to be out in the rain. Thankfully, this once in a lifetime opportunity may just allow the pegasus to confess her deepest feelings.

Rarity experiences an inspirational drought following the Fall Formal, one that Rainbow Dash relieves with the chance to design a new baseball uniform for her team. However, a series of strange encounters leave Rarity feeling attracted to Rainbow Dash, for all the wrong reasons.

And when one they know quite well disappears under tragic circumstances, she begins to question whether her future is worth struggling for...

Big thanks to Cynewulf, RazedRainbow and Azusa for pre-reading.

This story is a sequel to The Golden Armor

It's more of a continuation than a sequel, but whatever.

Comet is the leader of Princess Celestia's personal guard. Angel is the leader of Princess Luna's.

Comet is awake during the day. Angel stays up all night.

Comet likes using a halberd. Angel excels at using claws.

Comet is a pegasus. Angel is a bat pony.

Together, they take on all the twists and turns life hands them. However, things don't always go as planned.

After the changelings' failed invasion of Canterlot, Twilight tries to soothe some of Ponyville's rampant paranoia by casting a spell to prove there are no imposters hiding in the town. But her spell leaves her in an alien body, facing a mob of angry ponies who just don't believe her when she says she is Twilight Sparkle.

Or, at least, she was Twilight Sparkle, anyway...

The wonderbolts are in town. But there are things we don't know about equestrias best flyers. Like a secret crush that our favourite captain has hidden all these years.

Vinyl Scratch was always an odd one, seemingly hating classical music yet always willing to go with Lyra and Bonbon with a little convincing. One evening they see Octavia perform, and the songs are more than familiar to Vinyl. Realizing that Octavia is playing songs that Vinyl herself had composed when she was younger. Over time and through many trials with her new friends, Octavia discovers that there's a little more to Vinyl than she initially thought.
