This story is a sequel to Attack The Flask!

Spike and Apple Bloom spend an afternoon together. As friends.
Whether it ends that way, however, is anyone's guess.

Made as a commission for Red Ignis

An impromptu meeting between Applebloom and Spike causes a change in the way that they see and feel about each other, their young love being spurred on by their friends and family.

One night, Twilight and Spike venture into the Everfree forest to retrieve herbs that only appear during the night. Unfortunately, an accident ensues between the two that costs Twilight her life. Spike must now cope with the fact that his best friend is gone from his life, while keeping the secret of what caused her death a secret from everypony he knows, including Applebloom, who he sees as somepony more than a friend.

Spike's dreams of Rarity are shattered, and at the worst possible time, for his friends will need him to make it through their greatest crisis.

Inspired by the United Kingdom entry to the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest, "Love Will Set You Free" by Engelbert Humperdinck. From the second chapter onward, different songs serve as the inspiration, so check the comments for the links.

Applebloom has a big time crush on Spike, but with Rarity and all his involvement in Mane Six , she just has not been noticed! This little filly is determined to get Spike's attention , no matter what!

Six years after the events of "Love Will Set You Free", the peace in Ponyville is disturbed as an ancient prophecy seems to be coming true, involving eight new elements - of which only four are known.

"Love Will Set You Free" should be read first, otherwise the story will make little sense in some places. Also, as in that story, this one's chapters are titled after songs from the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest, as is the story as a whole.

Character tags mostly include characters new to "L'amore è femmina". For characters returning from "Love Will Set You Free", please refer to that story's character tags - they all apply to this one as well.

Spike is a dragon. Apple Bloom is a horse. Somehow they'll make it work.

Have you ever wondered what does the Cutie Mark Crusaders be like when they turn into teenagers?
Well.. Like every other filly of their age, they start to see colts in a new light. Girls, who found colts gross and mean sometime ago, find that they are now grown up and handsome, and they make the young fillies blush and giggle.

SAD marking for Scootaloo chapter. (Nothing too bad though.)

The story follows each one of the three CMC's, in their own chapter, that will tell how they met their very special someponies.

And thanks Cackle Tear, for coming up with a better title for my story!

"So I walk up on high,/And I step to the edge,/To see my world below./And I laugh at myself,/While the tears roll down,/'Cause it's the world I know./Oh it's the world I know." -Collective Soul, ‘The World I Know’

Applebloom turns seventeen years old. Eager to become a grown pony, her strong desire to help out around the farm takes hold. However, she is quick to realize that she might not be as ready to grow up as she thought when she begins to have odd feelings for a small purple dragon. Will she be able to fully blossom into the mare she wants to become?
