Ocellus has been having some conflicting thoughts on her place at the School of Friendship. She loves her time there, and the friends she's made, but she can't help but wonder if there's anything more to it than just friendship. So she does the sensible thing and asks her guidance councilor.

In the community around the rock farm, it is tradition, upon coming of age, to venture out into the world and see if it holds more interest than home. Cloudy Quartz’s journey took longer than most.

Bright Mac and Pear Butter. It’s no secret that these two were missed and nopony knows this better than Applejack.  She missed them, and would do anything to be wrapped onto their hooves again. But something unexpected happened on the day before their parent’s anniversary. She, and her family, find Pear Butter wandering the streets of Ponyville. The sight of her mother both excites and disheartens Applejack. Is that pony really her mother? And if it is, can she finally let go of her?

A home is so many things. The places, the experiences, the ponies, and for Winona, she's going to look back on all of it one more time.

Written for Foals Errand and her wonderful dog, and given permission by them to post this.

The other five members of the Young Six all know about Silverstream's old life as a seapony, and they've all seen her in her seapony form several times already. However, during a nice, relaxing field trip to the seaside, Silverstream's elegant seapony form begins to entice certain feelings within Gallus and Sandbar.
Will Ocellus, Smolder, and Yona be able to bring things back to normal? Will they even be able to keep these two boys' emotions in check, and their hooves/talons off of Silverstream's ravishing tail.

Applejack abandons her pie deliveries out of worry and goes back to check on her little sister who's home alone. As a result, she winds up acting extremely over-protective to Apple Bloom, to the point of stalking her.

But what if, instead of sneaking out to make the pie deliveries herself, Apple Bloom snapped and said something in a fit of anger that cut deep into her sister's soul?

An alternate take on Somepony to Watch Over Me

Spike and the rest of the Student Six visit Mt. Aris, where Silverstream can't wait to show off her culture. Her brother, Terramar, offers to take them out for a swim, but he hasn't had much experience transforming dragons. Hijinks ensue.

Having learned that one of her fellow students can't swim, Silverstream takes it upon herself to correct that oversight. To that end, she calls up her brother, Teramar, and ropes Ocellus into a make-shift swimming camp for Yona.

Although a part of Yona understands why she needs swimming lessons, the more dominant part of her would rather be anywhere but in the water. However, Silverstream is determined to get Yona to be able to swim.

Will Silverstream, Teramar, and Ocellus succeeded? Or is Yona destined to never be a swimmer?

Shortly after her biggest fan dies of cancer, Coloratura, accompanied by her close friend Songbird Serenade, visits her grave.
