Rarity's friends notice something bothering her, and it leads to her having to give a minor confession to them, she very much would prefer not to.

(if you like this or other stuff, I have a Ko-fi)

(Explanation for the idea in the author's notes)

When Twilight takes Tempest Shadow to the dentist, Tempest is forced to face her greatest foe: her foalhood fears.

According to both Cadence and her brother, Sunburst has been acting weird as of late, and he doesn't seem willing to talk about it. When one morning he disappears, and rumours are heard of him being at a bar, Twilight, who is visiting the Empire, decides it's time to check up on the unicorn and figure out what exactly the problem is. The answer turns out to be a peculiar one, and certainly unexpected.

Wet pavement hissed under her tires, and the Caterpillar engine rumbled happily in front of her. Her truck was happiest when it was moving. She was happiest when she was moving.

A story for the drive to Bronycon

It's do or die time.

Button doesn't get out much, but tonight he will. Tonight, he's going to party.

And, you know, resolve the hoard of personal issues he's built up in the past few years. Stuff involving his best friend and his own mind and the fact that he needs to be alone sometimes. But that'll be easy. He has a whole night to do it, right? He'll get it done. Hopefully.

Probably not.

Maybe.

One moment leads to another. There's a box sitting outside a house at night. It brings thoughts about the contents during the small hours and in time, there's a new kind of box. Something small, something which leads to little meetings in the dark.

The smallest things can change a life.

Sweetie Belle waits for Rarity to return from a trip to Canterlot. She is desperate for her sister to come home - and desperate for her to stay away, too.

What a mess.

After the Rainbow Festival, Rarity's got a bit on her mind, and that bit involves Kerfuffle, the talented pegasus who helped her with the festival's design. She, however, has been a bit distant in the hours since the party got underway.

This story is a sequel to Love Sickness

Love and relationships are never easy, so much commitment, stress, and care. Especially when you're stuck on a trip to the far reaches of the world and beyond. Battling monsters, nightmares and pursued by pirates along with goddesses only know what else. Someponies would say it's all worth it, they're usually right. Yet when somepony's love also accidentally causes a change in species, especially so far as turning you into a dragon. It's probably time to reconsider.

This story is a direct sequel to Love Sickness, therefore it is recommended that you read that story first to understand the context here. Nevertheless, the themes in this story are hopefully going to be far more adventure focused than the last one.
