This story is a sequel to First

Three years.

It's been a long three years, up there in the north, fighting for Equestria.

At last, though, those three years are over, and Rainbow Dash is finally home again in Ponyville. The war is won and she's returned triumphant, having done her part and served with honor. But after what it's taken out of her - and left lingering inside of her - can Rainbow Dash really come home again so easily? Does the Ponyville she once knew still exist for her? And are the ponies she's coming home to getting back the same Rainbow Dash that went out there to fight for them, those three years ago?

Only marked for gore because of a moderate amount incidentally present by necessity in the first part, and it's not particularly bad, so don't let that turn you off if it's not your thing. Most of the story doesn't have any blood or violence at all.

When Rainbow Dash makes a startling revelation to Twilight Sparkle, it sparks a serious discussion about painful events in the past, what the future holds, and self-realization and the nature of destiny.

"Equal parts heart-wrenching and beautiful. The author has managed to portray Dash in a way I never thought possible."
- EQD Pre-reader #R107

This story is a sequel to I Am Not Okay

Six months have passed since Rainbow showed up with sandwiches. Twilight is by no means okay, but at least she's on the road to recovery. Right?

Trigger Warnings: Suicidal thoughts and actions, depression, and anxiety.

She talks to me.
I wanted to answer but I couldn't.
I wanted to hold her but I wasn't strong enough.
I'm sorry.

Twilight Sparkle has been unable to get any sleep for the past three weeks because of a dream. The saddest and most horrible dream she has ever dreamed. A dream where Rainbow Dash, the somepony she is in love with, dies. Spike has urged Twilight to tell Rainbow Dash, figuring it would stop the dream but the alicorn is just too stubborn to do so. What will Twilight do? Will she continue letting the dream keep from sleeping and risk driving herself insane or will she finally open up to Rainbow Dash?

Twilight improves upon the portal mirror to allow her and her friends to see alternate universes. They quickly learn things that may strain their current relationship with Rainbow Dash.

After bumping into a rude pony from flight school, Rainbow tells a rather large lie to save face.

Shouldn't have did that, Dashie.

A two part story.

Ever since Rainbow Dash married to Twilight Sparkle and adopted Scootaloo on the same day, her life has been wonderful. However, because of her busy job as a Wonderbolt, she missed out almost all of Scootaloo's important events, including Ponyvillie's Junior Pro Scooter Competition that meant a lot to Scootaloo. Feeling guilty and wanted to make up to her stepdaughter, Rainbow Dash promised Scootaloo she'll get her the one thing that Scootaloo always wanted for Hearth's Warming: a Zapp action figure from the Power Ponies. There is just one problem.

It is now Hearth's Warming Eve and the toy is practically sold out!

Despite this, Rainbow Dash is determined to hunt this toy down and bring it back home before anypony in her family notices. Along the way, Rainbow bumped into her ex-partner from the Wonderbolt academy, who is also looking for the same toy, competing against her. With a race against the clock and the competition is fierce, will Rainbow Dash get the toy and come home to her daughter on time for the holidays?

Meanwhile, Twilight is facing some dilemma of her own when a certain rich mare snob, that Twilight took under her wing, refuses to change her ways.

This story is based on a certain Christmas movie but with original dialogue and some ideas.

The cover art was made by me.

Twilight has some royal business to attend too, but she must leave her friends behind. She leaves them a letter explaining everything.

*Authors Notes*

I wrote this as a sign of respect for a great man known on the internet as "Matthewmosiermusic" this was about his last original song... before he left for the army. I also wrote this for my best friend who is also in the same situation.

In the warmth of her cloud home, Rainbow Dash is about to turn in for the night when she hears Scootaloo crying outside in the middle of a vicious blizzard. Plucking the freezing filly from the snow, Rainbow hopes to provide some much-needed comfort for the otherwise tough young pegasus, but she uncovers a disturbing reality that she knows she cannot handle alone.

Knowing only one pony that could really help her out, Rainbow enlists Twilight’s help, determined to set things straight for Scootaloo. But what Rainbow doesn’t know is that in her efforts to provide a better life for the filly, her friendship with Twilight will develop into something more.
