As the years drew on, Spike's childish heart grew into that of a true adult, longing for the finer things in life; the finest things. He pursues his relationship with Rarity, but all does not go as planned.

Filled with anger and sorrow, Spike and Rarity fall away from one another. In his grief, Spike pursues new interests, and their friendship is in danger of never recovering.

But perhaps the truest words in life are these: you do not know what you had until you have lost it. Jealous and alone, finding no comfort in stallions she once loved, can Rarity reclaim her one chance at true love, before it is too late?

This story is a sequel to Shy Girl

She'll poke you in class, tickle you in the hall, noogie you at lunch, and hug you, all in the same day. She somehow has it in her head that wedgies are fun (no, really). And yet, she doesn't have anything against you. In fact, she even tells you she likes you. It does make sense; she enjoys your company, and loves talking with you (a LOT). If she likes you, you'd much prefer not being teased. Or is she just trying to amuse you?

Man, she's weird. Cute, but weird . . . .

This story is a sequel to GOAL!

After fouling up an attempt to ask Applejack out, you try the next best thing to get her attention: offering to fill a position as a farm hand on Sweet Apple Acres. While not your initial intention, you decide to make the most of it while you can, and use this opportunity to show off for the girl of your dreams. Over time, your attempts at work aren't spectacular, but they do more than impress Applejack. In fact, you two may just spark a tight, emotional—and maybe even sensual—bond . . . .

A famous unicorn artist, now in midlife, shocks her doctor by revealing that the father of her unborn youngster is a teenager. But that's only the beginning: Can there truly be such a thing as trans-species pregnancy?

In the midst of doing a favor for Ember in the dragon lands, Spike tells Rarity about his not-so-secret feelings. Rarity responds with a secret of her own, one that she's guarded for most of her life. They picked the wrong day, and the wrong kingdom, for a quiet heart-to-heart.

Rarity has a rather unladylike moment of panic when she thinks Spike has moved away without telling her. Twilight is amused.

Short oneshot that just sort of fell out of my head this evening.

Time Turner, or as Derpy calls him, "Dr. Whooves," invites Derpy to spend a nice breakfast with him after work. Soon, the punctual stallion finds himself hard pressed to keep his emotions to himself.

Written as a cute little one-shot to test my ability to write less dark, and sinister stuff.

On Nightmare Night Doctor Whooves doesn't celebrate, instead he grieves for his lost home, reminding himself that he is alone in the universe.

Tonight Derpy will remind him that he not as lonely as he thinks.

Spike orders a How-To guide book to win Rarity's heart. Will Spike be able to follow all the steps like a true gentlecolt? Will any of the steps actually work? And just what is Rarity looking for in her friendship with Spike, anyway?
