After teaching at Ponyville Elementary for many years, Cheerilee has been told that she must retire. As she walks home from the schoolhouse for the last time, she questions whether or not she's made a difference in the world.

A big thanks goes out to Taranasaurus0.0, Criticul, and Fluttrick for thier help prereading and editing this story.

Side Note: No cheesy poem this time!

Since I didn't feel there were any tags that matched the theme of this story, I made my own. Tag: [Motherhood] [A Parent's Love]

Love is one of those strange forces in nature that sometimes defies explanation. An old saying says that parents love their children, no matter what. Rainbow Dash is a rambunctious, wild, and rebellious filly that wants to live her life her own way. Her mother just wants her to go to school and get an education so that she can have a good life. Will Rainbow Dash's wild attitude sever the ties that bind a filly and her mother, or can Rainbow's mother weather the storm and still be a good mom to her daughter?

A really big, huge thanks goes out ot Taranasaurus0.0, TheStarsGuide, Magicolt808, Arimuss, Criticul, Tyek, Guesswork,  Radator, BaroqueNexus, Word-Sight, Vivex, Dimondium, DevilBlade911 and Bahatumay for prereading and editing my atrociously bad grammar. If there is someone I missed that should be added to this list, message me and I will add you.

This story was inspired by "Love You Forever" by Robert Munsch. I had not heard the story for several years before I wrote this, and forgot what it was called. However the story was so powerful I could never forget it.

Rainbow Dash has just passed away and is survived by her marefriend, Twilight Sparkle. Twilight is broken by the loss of her lover, and believes that she will never smile again. Will one last message from her true love be enough to pull her from her misery?

This story is inspired by the poem "Do not Stand at My Grave and Weep" by Mary Elizabeth Frye. A super big thanks goes out to Tyranasaurus0.0, TheStarsGuide, Magiccolt808, and Word-Sight for pre-reading and editing this!

He says not to give him credit, well too bad. He's a talented artist and he deserves all the credit he can get.

This story is similar to another story I've written so I expect to get flack for this one.  

As always thank you for reading, and I appreciate any criticisms that you give!

EDIT: A member named Dimondium created a piano concerto for this story. You can find the video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4uxdzoF6sA&feature=youtu.be

The song is very beautiful and, in this author's opinion, this story does not even compare to the heart tugging power of that song. Thank you Dimondium, you have no idea how honored I am.

Every Sunday morning, Derpy Hooves goes out into Ponyville on her only morning off and juggles a set of red balls for an audience. Is Derpy just being Derpy, or is there something deeper to what she's doing?

This story is a result of me challenging myself to write a story in under an hour. I have been debating on whether or not I should put the story here on fimfic, but I decided to go ahead and give it a try. With this fic, you will understand why it is dangerous for someone to write while they are very tired.

Sweetie Belle wants to become a fashionista like her older sister Rarity. Will Rarity's reaction to Sweetie's...art cause an inseperable rift between the two sisters?  Or, will it help them learn more about each other and grow?

This story is a little different to the stories that I have done in the past, and I wanted to see how it went over. Whether good or bad, please tell me what you think! This is a big learning experience for me!

A big thank you goes out to Taranosaurus0.0, Stars Guide, Word-Sight, Criticul94, Vivex and Techogre for prereading and editing this piece!

The cover picture was drawn by Frankier77 on deviant art. Check this guy out he's got some pretty cool artwork!  http://frankier77.deviantart.com/

Spike has just woken up from his hundred-year sleep and realized that none of his friends are around anymore. He is deeply stricken with grief. Can a letter from his wife Rarity, gifts from his friends, and a poem from Twilight Sparkle help ease the pain of their loss?

The cover picture was drawn by Azzurgil on deviant art (http://azzurgil.deviantart.com/). I really enjoyed her work because she does a lot of dragon art (which I am a huge fan of). This story was preread by Criticul94 and Taranasaurus0.0. Not only are these guysawesome prereaders, but they are great writers. Check their stuff out!

When I was writing this story I didn't mean for it to take the turn that it did, however a personal event that happened in my life made this what it is. I hope those that read it enjoy it.

An accident on Braeburn Apple's farm turns into tragedy, which causes him to slip into deep depression and alcoholism. His family has all but given up on him. He has lost faith in himself. Will dark spirits that appear in the nighttime sky intervene on his behalf, and save him from the pits of despair?

This story was inspired by Johnny Cash's "Ghost Riders in the Sky." The cover picture that you see was created by the talented =Icaron. You can check out her Deviant Art page here. http://icaron.deviantart.com/

Twilight Sparkle discovers a new planet, a tropical paradise she dubs Dweezil. Princess Celestia intends to send a colony to this planet, but first wishes to send a single pony in a one pony spacecraft built by her student. This first pony will not only be the first to enjoy the paradise of a planet, but they will also lead the new colony that will arrive after them.

Princess Celestia must choose between her most faithful student, Twilight Sparkle, and the famous politician, Notorious Shenaniganz, to lead this expedition.

Who will she choose? What will be the fate of the first visitor to Dweezil?

Author's Note: This story is really different kind of story from the others I've written. Writing lots of drama was kind of getting me down, so I wanted to do something more lighthearted for a change. The cannon characters in this story are a little OC, so I ask that you suspend belief a bit. A very special thanks goes out to Word-Sight, Taranasaurus0.0, and TheStarsGuide for prereading and editing this story.

This is an experiment to see if I can write in a different genre, so please tell me what you think. Just don't come at me with burning torches and pitchforks if you think it's too crazy. :) Also, I don't mean any offence with this story, if any is taken.

Pinkie Pie tells a reporter the story of how she left home at a young age to explore the world before she came to Ponyville. Will the story of her past have a positive impact on his future?

Author's Note: This is my first piece of fiction that I have written in a while, so it was has been pretty tough for me to write. Even after this story is complete, I hope to improve it. So please, if you don't like it or see something that you think is off, by all means tell me. I appreciate any kind of feedback, good or bad.

I am telling this story using dialogue, which is also something new to me. In any case, I hope you enjoy the story as much as I have enjoyed writing it.

Rainbow Dash and Applejack have been married for four years, they adopted a foal, a red pegasus named Reddawn, and settled down on the farm. However, all is not well. Rainbow Dash's demanding career as a Wonderbolt is threatening to tear the family asunder. Will Rainbow Dash choose to continue her career as a Wonderbolt, or choose to give up her career to stay in Ponyville with her family?

A very special thanks goes out to Vivex, Taranasaurus0.0, Word-Sight, and Sour Grapes who helped out with prereading, editing, character analysis, and plot ideas. Without them, this story would not have turned out half as good as it is. The wonderful cover picture for this story was done by DaVca from DeviantArt.

Please feel free to leave any comments or criticisms! If you see something wrong with the story, go ahead and tell me in the comments, I can use all of the help I can get as a writer!
