After a discussion with Lightning Dust, Dash realizes how much freedom she's given up to have a family with Pinkie and Scootaloo. So, why is she so happy?

(Ties in to The Marriage of Heaven and Earth and the Care and Raising of Pegasii, but reading those two aren't strictly necessary for enjoying this one).

After a rather fun day, an incident occurs between Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash, bringing them apart. The events over the next two days will dramatically shape their lives and their relationship with one another, but which direction will it all lead?

First uploaded fanfic. I thought shipping was as good a place to start as any.

Note that the "Sex" tag is simply there to comply with the rules, and it is NOT an entirely big part of the story; it's actually quite brief.

What is more wrong than liking somepony of your own gender?

What happens when your feelings finally run high enough that you can't hide them any longer?

Enter the story of Rainbow Dash as she tries to figure out just what it is that her feeling are.

For years, Rainbow Dash has adored Pinkie from afar. For years, she hasn't been able to muster the courage in order to actually come and approach Pinkie.

Now it's her birthday, and Pinkie has taken it upon herself in order to throw the Pegasus' latest bash.

Is Rainbow's time finally here? Or does Pinkie not love her back?

Yo, the name's Vinyl Scratch, and all told, I've got it pretty good.

I do what I love, I love what I do, and what I do is make music that gets ponies pumped. I mean, you've probably seen me around. Truth be told I'm kind of everywhere—from Canterlot to Manehatten—doing fashion shows, clubs, weddings, and at least two royal shindigs post-changeling invasion. Funny thing about that though...

Special thanks to Dreams of Ponies, The Masked Ferret, and Skeeter the Lurker for their editing and support.

When Private Fleethoof recognized his dream and joined the Royal Guard, he never thought he would ever experience the might of Equestria's military firsthand. But when Equestria's safety is threatened by an old enemy, he'll find out just what sacrifices war and survival demand, what it truly means to serve for Princess and country, and just how important some friendships can be. See the war through the eye-witness account of a soldier on the front lines, all taken from one enduring journal.

A Reading of the Prologue by TheFirstPersonGamers

During an evening performance at a private manor, Octavia is shown one of the rarest and finest instruments known to Equestria, a Stellar Variance cello. Just being in the same room as one is a dream come true for Octavia, but then she is given the chance to play it. It is an opportunity Octavia can't pass up, no matter the consequences.

Yet, the next morning Vinyl finds herself at the same private estate, searching for the friend and roommate who never came back.

The Oldest and Strongest Emotion is Fear
-Lovecraft

The town is engulfed in fog. A pony sits in his cabin, fearful of what lurks outside. It wants inside, and it scratches at his door.

At first glance, Princess Luna's charioteers might appear to be little more than Royal Guards dressed in festive apparel for Nightmare Night. However, there is far more to the story than that - the Night Guards once played a pivotal role in the history of Equestria, and have sacrificed more for their beloved princess than most ponies are even aware of.

"She is our Shield, the benevolent protector of all ponykind. This was not always so. She was once a ghost, unfortunate enough to be forged anew in the fires of fate, and cursed to bear a sharpened edge that our foes would do well to beware."
