Roseluck doesn't like to admit her crush to most ponies; the few she's told were too busy laughing to hear her explain herself. She's ready to give up on the notion of confessing her love, until the town jeweler offers his encouragement and even his assistance in helping her secure her "special somepony". Would he have been so enthusiastic in helping if he knew the "special somepony" is a "special somegriffon", she wonders?

UPDATE 03/31/13: This story is not dead. My current plan is to do one last minor revision to these chapters, then finish and publish Chapter 3. I know that there are a lot of people waiting for more of this story, and my last intent is to disappoint them. I will try my hardest to make it worth the wait.

After the events of the Royal Wedding, Spike still isn't entirely sure what marriage is. Isn't it just when two ponies decide that they're going to live with each other for the rest of their lives? Well, there's certainly one pony whom he wouldn't mind spending the rest of his life with: Donut Joe and his toothsome toroidal treats.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders land a job at a local Wal-Mart in their desperate search for a cutie mark. The new found responsibility soon takes a toll on their sanity as they struggle to make the job work. Will they be able to keep their new job and it's promising chance at earning a cutie mark? No.

Twilight tries to console a heart-broken Rainbow Dash with a story about the stars.

(A short one-shot vignette I wrote across two self-reflective nights. Special thanks to Lung and LyRarity for their input.)

When your life is as dull a gray as the world that surrounds you, the mundanities can make it all seem meaningless. Sometimes all we need is a little color -- or six -- to reintroduce us to what truly makes life worth living.

Rainbow Dash is having an awful, terrible, no-good very bad day. Nothing seems to be going right! Pinkie Pie, being a dutiful friend, steps in to whisk her friend away to a one-day-only shop called the Make Me Better Boutique. But will she be able to cheer up her best friend? And will that cheering up lead to something ... more?

(Femshipping, but no wilder than a G/PG movie. Fun fact: This was one of the first (possibly the first?) fics that explored the idea of 'wing boners.')
