Applejack's cousin, Braeburn Apple, writes her a letter for her to come to Appalossa as quickly as possible but it doesn't tell her why. So assuming the worst, she ropes in her friends to come with her as a backup.

When they get there, not only is Braeburn fine, but Soarin is also there too. Why?

This is a short story dedicated to someone special.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Big Macintosh came down with a sickness two weeks ago, but no medication or magic could prepare him for death...as his final breath draws closer, he thinks about life, his family, the choices he made, and the things he could have done, in his final moments...

You've been her assistant since you first joined the company. Learning her teachings and traveling around Equestria together. That was years ago, now with her being in charge of the company, you still have a job to do.

Spitfire has a little surprise for her fellow team member and significant other, but she can't seem to find a moment to tell him, hopefully she can tell him before the day is done because this is definitely something that he'll want to hear.

A/N

Just like for Mother's Day, I really wanted to do one for Father's Day as well since, you know, If it wasn't for father figures( mine included) to spend time with us, or give us advice when we need it, I think I speak for most when I say that if you think that your dad can be annoying at times, well, chances are he's trying to help you in some shape or form, and one day you'll look back at those times and remember what he said to you. I know I will.

Anyway enjoy the story.

Alt. Uni. for the phones and stuff.

Soundwave, out.

After a year of being tormented and teased, the cutie mark crusaders couldn't take it anymore. It's time that they stand up to Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon.

Alternate Universe tag because I don't think this is going to happen anytime soon in the canon universe.

Rated 'Teen' for this sensitive topic.

The whole day was going so far so good for Rarity. She had a full stock of dresses that were ready to be sold. But, this "normal" day is going to change when a... "unique" costumer visits the Carousel Boutique.

What if Soarin had not been as forgiving as he was when he found out his team had lied to him and tried to replace him for the Equestria games? What would his life be like if he were to up and quit the Wonderbolts, and where could this life-altering choice lead him?

Disclaimer: Story contains subject matter that may hit pretty close to home with some readers, such as pathological depression, borderline personality disorder, and alcoholism.

Love is a mysterious thing.

One minute you are at a gala your fellow Wonderbolt teammates, the next you meet a cute mare and end up in a relationship with her.

Now a year has passed, and a certain member of said Wonderbolts is spilling his emotions and feelings into a letter to that cute mare. The mare who can also bake tasty pies as well.

Words have, and always will be, his greatest enemy.

Blueblood, minutes away from glorious death, remembers his life with Octavia.

Cheerilee is considered to be one of the best teachers Equestria has to offer. But even somepony as good as her can stumble a bit when tasked by the Princess herself with the lofty task of teaching Prince Blueblood manners.
