(Story idea suggested by JBlaster on FanFiction.net, think of it as a Rarity version of "Too Many Pinkie Pies". The exact timeline is vague but it takes place prior to any events in Season 9.)

Rarity finds herself facing a huge back order that pushes Carousel Boutique to the limits and drives her to madness. And the deadline is lurking just around the corner.

Deciding that she needs extra hooves to do the job, the fashionista settles on the idea to use the mirror pool and clone herself. But it isn't long before the clones take on a mind of their own and go crazy.

Luckily, Rainbow Dash is up to the task of rounding up the Rarity clones. But what she doesn't know is that these extra Rarities have their own plan in mind for the speedster, one that she will surely dread.

This Story is a Prequel to - The Heart That Forgot How to Feel

Taking place before the events of The Heart That Forgot How to Feel, Fluttershy's tragic death following her pregnancy presents itself with the opportunity of a lifetime for a local mad scientist with ambitions of building and developing Equestria's very first cyborg pony.

However, during the development phase when it comes to running his experiments to test his progress, the scientist finds himself entering a situation which is more than he ever anticipated, leaving him with plagued thoughts. He begins to wonder if he's doing the correct thing, toying around with the ethics that come with tradition, mortality and the concept of a second chance.

Perhaps, just maybe, this new experiment might open his eyes and heart a little...

Rainbow Dash has seen how Applejack looks at her sometimes. One day, she eventually decides to ask her about why she does it so much. Afterall, asking for someone's orientation is a simple, straight-forward question, is it not?

========================

I mean, really, I'm sure the majority of us got some of the same vibes and impression during that episode featuring Countess Coloratura and Applejack. From childhood to the present, they seemed to be rather close. Looking at Applejack interact with Rara is what has always gotten me thinking about where they stand.

To me, it's like they have something a little more than friendship, and I wrote this to inquire upon those curious thoughts.

Octavia has been left alone for an entire month, and, during her routine shopping run, she comes across a young stallion setting up an art kiosk in the town square market. Approaching, the young stallion, by the name of Colour Palette, offers her a painting that was left to him from his uncle, and after reluctantly accepting the painting, Octavia notices strange things happening around her house.

She begins to experience nightmares and paranormal activity that she can't begin to explain, and she has no clue what's happening. Terrified, Octavia is determined to figure out what is haunting her home and terrorizing her with sinister intent. Digging deeper, she uncovers some shocking secrets and history relating to the mysterious painting.

Fluttershy watched her grow, she watched her learn, she watched her chase her dreams and eventually watched her catch them. Now Rainbow has everything she ever dreamed of, everything could ever want out of her life.

However watching Rainbow achieve her goals has left Fluttershy in want, desperately needing something that she isn't even sure that her old friend even has to offer, love.

For years the two had gone their separate ways, however the chance to see her old friend again means Fluttershy has one more chance to speak from her heart. Will it make a difference though?

After the Storm King's army was disbanded Tempest decides to stay in Ponyville for a few weeks to prove she can be a valued citizen of Equestria.

She expects to be bored. She expects civilian life to be hard to adjust to.

She doesn't expect Rainbow Dash to approach her, asking for combat training. And she certainly doesn't expect to start to like the cocky Pegasus.

But opening your heart to friendship means opening it to some other things as well.

Following the events of making his newest book and reading it in person at the bookstore, Ahuizotl relishes in the adoration and devotion of his newly found fanbase, even if he wittingly or unwittingly managed to outcompete Daring Do and Caballeron's collaborative effort that's sitting across the street from him.

One might say after hearing his side of the story that he's finally not misunderstood by others anymore. Everyone knows the real him now.

Or...do they?

Could that really have been the truth he was telling?
