Zecora isn't from Equestria. That should be obvious. She hails from a distant land where everything from skin to speech is vastly different. There, she was a skilled shaman, one of the best in all of the land, and the uttering of her name could open more doors than the Abada himself.

So why, then, is she in Equestria? Why would such a powerful zebra leave her rich and vibrant homeland to live in an untamed forest? Why does she never speak of it to anyone? And why is she constantly speaking in rhyme?

Because of mistakes. Her mistakes, his mistakes, and the mistakes they made together.

This story is a sequel to Under A Luminous Sky

Any stallion can tell you that asking out the mare you like is an almost impossible task. Not even Big Mac can escape the struggles of asking out that dream mare. Especially when that dream mare is no other than the one and only Rainbow Dash. How is Mac supposed to ask out the former Wonderbolt, Element of Harmony, and best friend of his sister? He has missed his chance once, will he miss it again?

This is a very late birthday gift to Jake the Army Guy. Since we are both MacDash fans, and I think he has some of the best writing out there, this is a short little prequel story to Under A Luminous Sky which is still one of my favorite stories here, and if you have not read it... you fail at life.

So happy late birthday Jake!

Sunset Shimmer had no idea why everyone was taking to this new girl so quickly. What does she have that she doesn't? Besides friends? And an endearing personality? And a cute butt.

Twilight Sparkle knows they’re lucky, and she’s not stupid. All her human counterpart wants is to try and understand how the magic works. But she’s in love, and as logical as she tries to be, she can’t handle a human version of herself being around her girlfriend Sunset all of the times she can’t be.

Okay Sunset, you can do this. All you have to do is walk up to her and tell her how you feel. It's Valentine's Day, and Twilight isn't the type of girl to go out her way to embarrass someone. I can do this. I can do this. I...I...
