It was no secret that Fleur de Lis had a huge crush on the very important, and charming, Fancy Pants. She's willing to do anything to show him that she really cares, even visit the 'muddy old town' Ponyville to get some pictures of the place for him. However, when she's there she meets local farmer Big McIntosh. Now, something has changed.

Sweetie Bell's Parents are thrilled that their daughter is bringing her coltfriend home to meet them.

Well, until they find out it's Big Macintosh...

Young Cheerilee is happy to have finally settled down with her family in a nice town like Ponyville, and she's not about to let her nervousness about her first day of school stop her from making new friends. Most of her classmates seem nice, but...

Thank you to Horsefan999 for the great art! You should all go check out the rest of their work!

We are glad you are here for the ride, so without further delay, lets get this wedding started!

If you asked Big Macintosh what he liked about a pony there would be very little about Vinyl Scratch that would fit the bill. That's probably why he doesn't really like her. You might even say he detested her.

Then again, he hardly knows her.
Nothing that a bit of forced confinement can't fix.

Written for the Straight Shipping group 'A disagreement of sorts' competition. Yes, I couldn't think of a better name, sue me. Also written on a very random prompt from a friend who sarcastically said 'I ship it' when he saw a picture of Big Mac and Vinyl somewhere vaguely near each other.

Rainbow Dash isn’t a traditional mare. She didn’t care to learn how to bake cookies when she was little, or help her mother cook, and never wanted a doll to play with. She was a tomcolt from the moment she was born, acting more like a colt each day. While other little fillies played with their dolls and talked about secret crushes, she was challenging colts to races and beating them.

So when Big Mac moves in with her, how is she supposed to tell the farm pony who was used to home cooked meals that she didn’t know how to cook?

Thanks to,
jszellmer for the edits! I know you must hate me at times.

KarmaDash for always being there for story bouncing.

SketchinEtch for the cover art!

Eight years. For eight years we have been left to rot in this prison. Our reputations ruined, we were just as well off here in this festering hell-hole as we would have been out there in a country that now despised us. All hope seemed lost until one day, an emissary from a foreign land gave us a chance to exact our revenge on those who had put us here. Rainbow Dash and Macintosh Apple will pay for what they did to us. Mark my words, dear brother.

The third and final installment of the Rainbow X Mac series.
