After the events of "Filli Vanilli," Pinkie Pie approaches Fluttershy with apologies. But when Fluttershy probes into just why and for what Pinkie is apologizing, Pinkie finds out that there are quite a few friendship lessons she has still to learn.

(Takes place circa Season 2.)

Winter has always been something of a slow season for Fluttershy, and now that she and Pinkie Pie are dating, those idle hours just seem that much duller in comparison. When the energetic earth pony pops in — down her chimney, no less — and suggests they go spread some Hearth's Warming cheer together, she's up for tagging along… even if all the attention they're accumulating is a little nerve-wracking. Still, with the party pony's glowing enthusiasm leading the way, they're all set to paint the town red and green, no matter how many decorations, cookies, and flagrant violations of the laws of physics it takes!

Along the way, however, Fluttershy can't help but ponder a few things. Above all else? All the ways in which her marefriend so easily pulls off the impossible.

When Rainbow Dash realises that she's been feeling strange when Fluttershy is around, she decides to ask her friends about it.
But while the others are great at saving the world, along with a myriad of other talents, solving this particular issue might be a little out of their depths...

Pinkie needs donations for the local crisis hotline center. Rainbow needs to practice her guitar. With their powers combined, they’re going to make sure the local crisis hotline center has a rocking pastry-filled holiday.

Spiritual sequel to The Choices We Make???

Fluttershy has a crush on Pinkie Pie. She goes to some of her friends for advice. It turns out wooing an energetic pink party pony isn't quite as straightforward as she hoped.

At this year’s Grand Galloping Gala, Twilight Sparkle finds out just what a terrible dancer she truly is. Fortunately, there to comfort her is the one pony who is possibly an even worse dancer than Twilight.

The story has comedic elements but probably isn't a romantic comedy proper, by the way. Just want to avoid false advertising.

Rainbow Dash is having an awful, terrible, no-good very bad day. Nothing seems to be going right! Pinkie Pie, being a dutiful friend, steps in to whisk her friend away to a one-day-only shop called the Make Me Better Boutique. But will she be able to cheer up her best friend? And will that cheering up lead to something ... more?

(Femshipping, but no wilder than a G/PG movie. Fun fact: This was one of the first (possibly the first?) fics that explored the idea of 'wing boners.')

Hearth's Warming. A time for family, parties, shopping...and stress, especially for those ponies who are shopkeeps, department store workers...and bakers. And nopony is better at hiding her stress behind a bright smile and a bubbly attitude than the town's resident Party Pony. But one shy, yellow pegasus isn't so easily fooled.

And this year, she plans to do something about it.

Pinkie Pie gets a twitch predicting two ponies falling in love, and swears to help it happen! What ensues is inexplicably expected, in an unexpected kind of way. It's all in the knee wobble, you see.

This was originally going to be a chapter for a group collab (which you can check out here), but I wrote too much. So, now it's its own story!

Rated "Teen" for an isty bit of innuendo in the final chapter.

Fluttershy is absolutely terrified.

She just dreamed the perfect dream.

Happy St. Valentine's Day, folks
