When Spike and the CMC get in a bind, his true nature is revealed to Ponyville and all of Equestria.

Spoiler Alert: Spike is often overlooked. This isn't one of those times!
NOTE: This story is not going to be canon-compatible for very long. But Spike fans like me would most likely wish it would be.

An alternate version of "Newbie Dash" where Rainbow Dash leaves the Wonderbolts instead of messing up the Air Show. Upon finding Rainbow's resignation letter and discarded Wonderbolt uniform with jacket by Soarin, Spitfire goes and confronts the AWOL Rainbow Dash.

Author's Note: I know Rainbow's not a quitter. But she came in close in episodes like "Testing 1,2,3) and (Rarity Investigates).

After finding out about the disappearance of Flurry Heart, Shining and Twilight can only guess someone fillynapped her.
But who would do such a thing?
A past villain?
A random monster?
A new foe?
Only one thing's for certain.
They will find her, no matter how awkward it might get.

After suffering terrible losses, Queen Chrysalis struggles to even walk, due to famine. All desperate attacks for love failed, and now, she's seeing her changelings die, blaming herself. She breaks down in tears, feeling she doesn't deserve to be called a ''Queen''. But, after a few gentle words from her general, she gets told to believe in miracles. And miracles happen.
She gets a visit from a strange guest who might actually save her and make her reconsider the definition of 'love'.
