After constant hassling from her parents combined with the long nights spent with only Tank for company, Rainbow Dash decides to give the dating scene a try. Unfortunately, it isn't until she's given a few stallions in Ponyville a chance to impress her does she realize the perfect stallion has been right in front of her the whole time! He understands her competitiveness, need for speed, and her hatred of boredom. There's just one problem: he could end up destroying the world.
Fluttershy once thought that Rainbow Dash and herself were the only orphans in Ponyville. She thought that all the fillies in town were lucky and proud. She was glad to think they all had families, and she was dependent on the good of nature to keep it that way. She didn't want anyone else to experience a childhood at the orphanage, like herself.
But all that is about to change when she realizes that Scootaloo doesn't have a family, but needs one to survive. She convinces Rainbow Dash to let her take Scootaloo in, and have a family of three unwanted daughters. But, afterall, Scootaloo was unwanted, and her parents proved that. So could the two friends help Scootaloo get back on track?
When Twilight Sparkle invites Applejack and her little sister to lunch with her and the rest of her friends, Apple Bloom is thrilled to be joining the mares on a grownup lunch. She resolves to get Twilight Sparkle a gift to thank her for her thoughtfulness. This gift serves two purposes though, and it's not until much later that Applejack discovers that Apple Bloom was setting up Twilight Sparkle and Applejack to become marefriends from the very beginning.

Every pony in Ponyville knows how Rarity is: Good-mannered, generous, beautiful, organized... But lately shes been acting rather weird.. Unless you think carrying an Applejack doll around is normal, then never mind.

(Officially uploading naught but new chapters of the rewrite from now on. I have the old one saved, just in case)
On a normal weekend, Cheerilee assigns everypony an assignment from a unit she has been using for years. She considers it to be the most important one of the year; to teach the fillies and colts about the differences between ponies, and how they can all work together to do more than they could on their own. Unfortunately, a confused trip to the library by three fillies raises questions the teacher can't answer.
In an effort to make sure she teaches everything she can to the best of her ability, Cheerilee enlists the aid of Twilight Sparkle to help rewrite the textbook she has been using for years. As the days tick by, however, she is forced to deal with something she thought she had a handle on a long time ago.
Spike figures out that Cheerilee is making up reasons to visit Twilight at the library, and Rarity further figures out that it's because she must have a crush on Twilight.
When Ponyville's dedicated fashionista combines forces with Ponyville's only dragon to bring two adorably awkward book loving mares together, nothing can go wrong! Except perhaps, everything!
Oh yeah, and some pony ordered 20 trampolines and a bunch of other stuff that keeps getting delivered to one wrong address after another. More on that later.
UPDATE: I've run out of tagging slots, but it's fair to say that as this goes along, both the CMC and background pony Blue Bonnet are going to be prominently featured.
UPDATE 2.5: Chapter 3 and 4 have been edited by the amazing TheLastBrunnenG

Bad weather causes Cherilee to stay overnight at the library. Shared hopes and dreams and pillow talk take the two bookworm ponies somewhere they never expected.

This is a short story to set the groundwork for a series of stories. A 'Pilot Episode' as it were.
Teen rating because mild romance, and a naughty limerick.
This bit of silliness came from reading Darth Link 22's story, "About Last Night". After posting a couple of random comments about Celestia and Luna's possible reactions to the "wedding video" which were, apparently, funny enough to cause at least one person to nearly choke on their coffee when they read them, I felt inspired enough to expand on it. Two cans of Monster "Absolute Zero" later, this wacky little vignette somehow materialized out of my addled brain...
Note that this is not canon as far as Darth's story is concerned!
(Although he is certainly welcome to steal any bits he likes from it if he wants to.)
Just think of it as a "deleted scene" on the DVD.
This would take place sometime after chapter six, A Most Forgettable Evening, so ideally you should have read at least that far into it before reading this.
My entry to the Variety is the Spice of Life challenge over in the Intelligent Shipping Discussion group, which was about Main 6 x Main 6 shipping with prompts.
Chapter order is the order I wrote them in; it's marked as Complete because I probably won't write the other 10. Though when inspiration strikes I'll add them here.
An Apology and A Night are Teen for alcohol references. The rest is Everyone.
