Spike finally lays down for a well-earned nap. His friends say 'good night'.

Stories of someone coming back from the dead are a staple in every culture. For most, they are little more than fairy tales and rumours, passed down over generations. Any truth to them lost to the ages.

For Rainbow Dash, they're her only lead. Her only chance to see her friend again. They lead her to a strange mare who knows things she shouldn't, setting Rainbow Dash on a journey through a world no living pony was ever meant to see. She will stop at nothing to bring Twilight Sparkle home.

It's always hard to say goodbye, and few know this better than those who are burdened with immortality. Discord was always distant from ponies, viewing them as lesser beings at best, and mere toys at worst. Until he met Fluttershy.

He just didn't expect it to be so hard to say goodbye.

This Hearts and Hooves Day is shaping up to be just like last year; Twilight won't come out of the library, and Rainbow Dash can't seem to come in. Sweetie Belle decides it's about time they got together. Together with her coltfriend Spike, the two set out to push the hopeless romantics together before the day is through. Though it might take a little less prompting than they suspect.

(Rated teen for mild sexual references. Just being safe.)

Dating's simple, right? Straightforward, easy. Just like hanging out with a friend only more... sappy. Rainbow Dash doesn't like sappy, and she never has. So why even bother dating, when she could just hang out with her friends?

It's not like she wants a special somepony. Because she doesn't. Never has.

Although... her heart seems to leap into her throat when a certain lavender alicorn is around. She's constantly blushing when she's with her friends and she can't seem to take her eyes off of Twilight.

That's doesn't mean anything, though. It'll just go away, if she ignores it long enough. Even the peskiest of feelings can be forgotten with time.

The absolute last thing she needs or wants to do is actually ask Twilight on a date...

Right?

Ever since Twilight defeated Tirek, her dreams have been nothing but nightmares. Every night she sees herself loosing to him, she sees herself loosing her friends to him. She knows they can't be real, but each one is more vivid than the last.

After a particularly vivid one wakes her up, she questions whether or not she really did save her friends. She has to find them, to be sure they're okay.

She has to end the nightmares

Twilight Sparkle was no stranger to being called down to the Principal's office, and most times she was even excited to spend some time with Principal Celestia. This time, however, she was not so lucky. Before she knew it she'd been whisked off the Camp Everfree for four weeks as a counselor. With no interest in the so-called great outdoors, four other counselors who insist on being her friends, and one who wants a little something more, she may just be in for the summer of a lifetime.

Note; this is EQG humanized, so they keep their... unusual skin colours. Don't be alarmed by pink and blue people.

Project PI, as named by its creator Pinkie Pie, was the ultimate in fool-proof plans to woo a certain lavender alicorn. Unfortunately for Rainbow, the mare for whom the plan was made, it was a plan made by Pinkie Pie. Which means nothing is as it seems, and it involves chocolate pudding.

A lot of chocolate pudding.

(Takes place between season 4 and 5)

With all the beings that exist in Equestria, from Discord to Alicorns that control the sun and moon, Minotaurs, Griffons, even Ursa's, is it so hard to believe in more outlandish creatures? Monsters an ordinary pony would call "supernatural" are not so odd when compared to the things dwelling in the Everfree Forest.

For Rainbow Dash, these creatures are about to become all to real in her world as she is forced into the darkness by a seemingly crazy pony. Not all is at it seems, however, and as truths start to come out she learns things about her friend she never could have believed had she not seen it with her own eyes.

Yes yes, another vamp-dash fic, I know I know. But hey, give it a shot; you never know. Ignores all cannon after Twilight's coronation.

Weekly updates for as long as I can manage, new chapter every Monday!

Twilight's lived in Canterlot castle as a princess for years now, but something's changed. The guards give her funny looks behind her back, and it seems liked Celestia' started avoiding her. Her marefriend, Rainbow Dash, assures her nothing's wrong; that she's just over-thinking things. But she knows something changed, and it all started when Rainbow took her vacation from the Wonderbolts to spend some time with Twilight in Canterlot.
