It’s often been said that horses ponies cannot operate automobiles.

Whether that’s true or not, ponies shouldn’t buy a car beyond their skill level, even if they’ve got the bits to afford it. It’s only a matter of time before the car winds up a twisted wreck in the woods.

Now with a reading by StraightToThePointStudio

One night, Twilight notices something odd as she's nestled in bed with Rarity: her hair smells different, just slightly. The next morning, her tea tastes a little bit less sweet, and the flowers outside smell somewhat less fragrant. Out at a cafe together, the music doesn't sound as sharp and clear, and Rarity's new dress feels marginally less smooth against her coat.

Twilight just wants to know what's happening, so she can fix it. It has to be temporary, after all.

Hardship, pain, loss both personal and professional, there aren't many storms Rarity can't weather.
So it wasn't until Applejack saw Rarity leaving the wake that she thought something was seriously wrong.

Celestia and the sun are connected, to the point where when something happens to Celestia everypony can immediately see the sun acting up as well. What few ponies know is that this connection works both ways, and those times when the sun acts up, this has... certain effects on Celestia.

Celestia wants nothing more than to keep it a secret so as few ponies as possible worry about her. But keeping a secret from her stubborn, curious and loving marefriend might prove to be more difficult than she expected.

There were few things that brought Rainbow more joy than being able to practise some of her awesome flying skills in front of an audience, and today it was Rarity's turn to sit and watch in awe as she ruled the skies. But after landing, and joining the latter for some afternoon tea, Rainbow reveals to Rarity a concern she's had for some time.

Ponyville has grown up. It's not the same town it was.
And yet the same old ponies are still there, remembering how things used to be.
Maybe it's time to finally move on?

"If that doesn't get put on fimfic I'm hunting you down.
That one got me the most, from all these submissions.
And I'm honestly devastated it didn't make second round.
Also Drider, you can quote me on your fic."

A devastating blaze sweeps through Ponyville, leaving desolation in its wake. Now the citizens of Ponyville are left to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives and find a way to move forward.

A special thanks to my proofreader, RaylanKrios.

Twilight asks Rarity an important question: Will she stay the night?

Her answer is almost always the same. Maybe that's why Twilight keeps asking.

Applejack and Rarity graduated from bonded friends to thoughtful lovers. This is one of their Saturday mornings.

This is an entry to celebrate this wonderful Pride Month. It would not have been possible without Heartshine and Gara's keen eyes, and Hap's analytical flair!

Two old friends have lunch and discuss their children. Nothing strange about that, is there?
