It ain’t always easy to see where a story starts or ends, even though everypony has one. Sure, there’s Granny’s little anecdotes about the one time when Grandpappy almost left Pa in the marketplace when he was just a little colt, barely able to walk on his own. Then there’s those big stories about the Princesses that span centuries of peace, punctuated with large, but generally short, sparks of unrest. Ones that take eons to see the connections and be able to tell it as history.

My story, though? I think I’m still in it. Makes the telling a mite harder, but I reckon it’s time I told at least a part of it. Used to think it’d never amount to much or be all that important, but now I wonder if it’ll help somepony else in the future. Here's hoping, anyway.

When a pony has a problem, who would they possibly turn to but the dependable and honest Applejack? The only trouble is that, when it's a problem that can't be muscled into submission, Applejack sometimes finds herself at a loss. Through her desire to be a good friend, she learns a little something about her Element.

Missing Tag: Uplifting/Inspirational... something in that vein.

Pinkie Pie gets a twitch predicting two ponies falling in love, and swears to help it happen! What ensues is inexplicably expected, in an unexpected kind of way. It's all in the knee wobble, you see.

This was originally going to be a chapter for a group collab (which you can check out here), but I wrote too much. So, now it's its own story!

Rated "Teen" for an isty bit of innuendo in the final chapter.

Applejack and Fluttershy had thought they'd come to an understanding about those pesky vampire bats. Little do they know, the decisions they've made have unforeseen consequences that affect them both.

All decisions have consequences. This is how the decision concerning the vampire bats plays out.
