Celestia is woken up from her slumber. When she opens her eyes all she see's is darkness and then hears crying. When her eyes finally adjust she finds a hooded pony on the ground, against the wall in tears saying "I'm sorry."

What will she do?

Second contest entry for the Everfree NorthWest writing competition

Princess Twilight Sparkle is perfectly happy with her perfectly ordinary life in Ponyville. Every library book is properly shelved in its appropriate place, and her life continues on exactly according to her meticulously planned out schedule.

Then she gets a bodyguard.

Now she has to find some way to fit this new pony into her life on short notice. It won’t be an easy thing to adjust to—especially since Captain Storm Kicker’s presence makes it that much harder for her to go on living like the same old Twilight Sparkle she was before she became a princess.

Vinyl Scratch, known as the famous DJ Pon-3, loves her work and wants all the ponies there to have fun. So when she is performing at one of her regular clubs and sees one pony harrassing another, Vinyl decides to step in and deal with the issue directly. Unfortunately some ponies are not very willing to talk sensibly.

What starts out as a normal night at home for Octavia Melody turns into a reality from her wildest dreams.

This is my first published FIMfiction. I've been a lurker up to this point. I'm currently helping proof-read and edit (and sometimes, write entire sections of) my snoopy-doo's fic: In Service to the Princess..

I hope you like it, and I hope to post more soon!

All of the great Octavia/Vinyl fics here on FIMFiction.net helped to inspire this, and I hope it lives up to their legacy.

"Here you are in Canterlot / It's the place you always dreamed about / It's exactly what you have wanted"

Octavia has lived among and performed for the highest class of ponies for years, and never once questioned her way of living or life choices. But when a fateful afternoon reignites an old memory, she finds herself realizing that she's been missing something: a friend. Now lost and desperate, she can only hope the pony she removed from her life will be willing to hear from her again.

"Regret, Regret / Why did I forget about her for so long?"

Inspired by lyrics from The Living Tombstone's "Ocatvia's Overture" and
"Like a Spinning Record".

Rainbow Dash is an unlikely matchmaker, but she's also not a pony that leaves her friends hanging. When she sees the feelings Applejack and Rarity have for each other, she tries to get them together, but ends up struggling with the knowledge that those very feelings may end up keeping them apart.

This story is a sequel to Princess Twilight's Profoundly Peripheral Protector

Big threats were nothing new to Storm Kicker. Even before entering the service of Princess Twilight Sparkle, Storm's career had brought her head-to-head with some of the worst Equestria could offer, and more still—from water monsters in Canterlot to the changeling invasion. She knew when she agreed to be Princess Twilight Sparkle's bodyguard that it was probably only a matter of time before some new ancient evil broke loose, and she would need to be there, at her princess' side.

When Tirek began his assault on Equestria, Storm was ready to give her life in the service of princess. What she wasn't prepared for was Twilight sending her away. However, regardless of her princess' orders, Storm swore an oath to serve and protect her princess, and she will do what she must to fulfil it. Even if it means putting her life on the line in a hopeless battle against an enemy she cannot possibly defeat.

The cake twins have always been my most favorite foals in the whole wide world!

Their parents were always SOOO busy, so I constantly played with them, and entertained them. We all had fun when I was in charge!

Lately, Mrs. Cake has been feeling sick. Guess what, she BIT Mr. Cake! Can you believe that? And Mr. Cake is sick now, too! Now the foals are all scared! But as their unofficial aunt, I will protect them no matter what.

I won't let harm ever come to them.

Only a few weeks have passed since the failed Changeling invasion and their following banishment from Equestria. Celestia, wishing nothing but peace across the entire continent, seeks out Chrysalis in her hive in an effort to sway her, to show her that there are other ways. She knows that convincing Queen Chrysalis that there are other ways than her own will be a difficult ordeal, but she has vowed to try regardless.

An idea that popped up yesterday night... Hope you like it!

After a concert in Manehattan, Octavia overhears somepony calling her a fillyfooler and gives a heartfelt, somewhat drunk, curse-filled speech regarding it.

Tons of swearing, by the way.
