You've found yourself in a rather awkward predicament with the Dazzlings. Will you be able to evade them, or will they find out that you're not from this world?

Sequel here: Not A Trick?

Not much was known about Rainbow Dash's family life, until one day, her brothers decided to pay her a visit.

Being subtle isn't Rainbow Dash's strong suit. At all. So when Applejack asks her point blank what she thinks of Rarity, she doesn't hold back.

Not her best idea.

Rainbow Dash does not have a crush on Soarin'. Sure, she thinks he's a pretty cool stallion, being a Wonderbolt and being an awesome flyer and all. Sure, maybe she catches herself admiring those powerful wings of his and maybe even imagining what it'd feel like to have them rub against her own. Sure, she can't help but try to take a peek at that toned, muscular flank of his, but come on, who hasn't? That doesn't mean she has a crush on the guy.

Rainbow's going to have a harder time deny all that now that she's gone and declared that she can make a pie better tasting than Applejack's, knowing perfectly well of Soarin's love for pie. The fastest way to a stallion's heart is through his stomach, after all. Too bad Rainbow Dash's awesomeness doesn't apply to the kitchen.

With only a week before the big bake sale, Rainbow Dash must learn all she can from an unexpected source. Can Spike help her impress her not-crush, or will the two of them discover something else on their journey to make the perfect pie?

Life is pretty unpredictable for me, but that alone is the predictable part of it. Pretty early on, I learned that I should expect the unexpected, and enjoy the brief moments of peace when they were there. Such an outlook helped me early on to keep from going crazy with all of the stuff that's happened to us all.

As the years passed though, I found my own source of peace: my closest friends.

My best friends were always there for me, and I for them. We held each other up when we fell below the surface of the sea of life, and offered friendly smiles and listening ears to each other when we needed it most. Even with all the insanity we weathered over the years, we became closer in spite of it...or, perhaps because of it. In a world of hoarding dragons, I may be the only one that cherished a small group of ponies over gold or jewels.

Note: Ponies are considered adolescent/mature at a much younger age than humans (six and fourteen, respectively). I've made an oversight on this, and I believe this explanation will fix that. Also, this will be a Spike-harem fic, but as with all my other submissions, there is no clop; just a heads up.

Featured multiple times!

Overly grateful, Luna calls upon an ancient contract which binds her to the draft pony as his personal servant. Can Big Macintosh co-exist with an overzealous moon goddess, her creepy assistant, and an army of evil looking guards long enough for Twilight to find a loophole to get him out of the pact?

Now with more chapters!

Dark Tag is for Black Comedy and slightly morbid situations!

A young man wakes up in Equestria as a very adorable Alicorn colt, gets forcibly adopted by Luna, and tries to find his way home. It's a shame that a certain Night Princess won't let him.

Rated Teen for suggestive scenes and the occasional bit of colorful language.

It's Hearts and Hooves Day in Ponyville again and Rainbow Dash is alone again this year, but not from a lack of trying. She had set her sights on the non-talkative brother of her best friend? Will she find a way to get the Earth Pony's attention?

Many side pairings in this story not going to tag them all just yet but there is SoarinJack, PinkieCaramel, and of course MacDash. Please no flames and if you think you can help me improve please message me.
