One of my best friends died recently. Why?

Why did she have to die and not me? Why couldn't I save her, why wasn't I fast enough? Why her?

They tell me to move on and accept the fact that she is gone. That its impossible to stop death and to bring a pony back.

I am Rainbow Dash, and I laugh in the face of impossible. I am about to make the impossible happen, even if it kills me.

It's tough being a big brother having to babysit your little sister. When you have to babysit her while waiting for your girlfriend to come so you can confess your love to her...its even tougher. Let's watch as Shining Armor, professional big brother and monster slayer, has to deal with a Twilight Sparkle and her runaway imagination. Lets watch as he has to protect her from the monsters that live in her dreams and hide in closet; all the while trying to set up the perfect sate with his lady-Cadence.

Easy, after all...there are no monsters in your closet, right?

An event 22 years ago, took the life of their father. Now two brothers must follow the job that their mother started and hunt the undead, monsters, and spirits that haunt Equestria. The mane six will deal with the monsters and the dragons, but they do not know of the darker side of their world or of the creatures that lie in the shadows.

Hunt monsters, protect ponies, thats the family business.

Pinkie Pie loves her family: her mom, her dad, her sisters, and her grandmothers. She loves them to death, but one day Inkie and Blinkie come by to deliver some heartwrenching news, she's adopted.

Now Pinkie goes off with her sisters to find her real parents and to answer an age old question, is it blood that makes a family, or is it love that matters in what is a family.

Applejack hunts her farm for her faithful companion, her dear friend, and pet, Winona. As she does she remembers how slow she has been for a few months and fears that a promise that the two had made long ago, may be broken on this day.

Luna has now become her own mare

Cadence has become a beautiful princess in her own right

Twilight has grown up and graduated.

Celestia now begins to wonder about her own life and if she is still needed to be there for the younger generation and if they still need her to guide them.

Its amazing what the rain can bring; clensing, cold, or memories. As Pinkie Pie walks through a terrible thunderstorm and has to comfort two little babies, she remembers a song that her mother sang to her once to help remove her fears.

Based on the song, "Stormy night lullaby."

Scootaloo has been living with Rainbow dash for a year now. Her best friend has just gotten her cutie mark and she is getting better at flying. But why does Dashie seem so lonely lately and why does she still think of her mother. Maybe its time that she gets someone for her big sister to be there for her. Maybe its time to get Rainbow a special somepony.

Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash were the first, then Applejack, then Rarity, and now Pinkie Pie. Everytime she has had to deal with this hard task, she had to watch as each friend go through this journey of theirs. It has been hard, it has always been hard, and it has never gotten easier.

ITs hard to be a little sister with an overworked big sister. Sometimes she ignores you and you feel neglected and that she doesnt care at all. This is how Sweetie Belle feels right now, that her big sister treats her more like an object and not a pony. However, maybe a story from Applejack can change all that and show that, there are things that dont need words
