Rarity fights a freaking giant crab,

Cry for an Angel, a symphonic-metal band from Ponyville fronted by none other than Fluttershy, has finally reached enough national success to fund their first tour across Equestria. Back in Ponyville a group of colts are inspired to seek similar success, but first they need to find a singer. Little do they realize the full impact she will have on their band, especially on one particular member...

Scootaloo always wanted to join the Wonderbolts, but after she learns that she has a degenerative disease her dreams are crushed and she is forced to move to Ponyville, leaving her friends behind. She believes her life is forever ruined and her heart is forever broken, but after she meets an unlikely friend she learns that the sky is still the limit, but first she needs to heal a different sort of wound...

This is a sequel/spinoff to Learn to Fly. If you have not read it, skip the the forward.

Pinkie Pie is known for her perpetually cheerful demeanor, but is that really how she feels inside? Deep inside, something is eating at her, only surfacing when she takes some time to think.

Rainflower was once an ordinary earth pony, but after a horrific accident she was left crippled and orphaned. The filly was adopted by the doctor and potion maker Gold Hair, who had to amputate her hind leg to save her life. This caused the other foals to constantly make fun of her, and she wanted nothing more than to be whole again so she may join the other ponies in their games. After rediscovering a long lost and forbidden recipe she learns the she may finally have the answer to her quest, but it comes at a grave cost. The question is, is it worth it and will it really be enough?
