Long journeys to destinations full of happy memories are not always as enjoyable as they should be. But Sunset and Rainbow have weathered the good and the bad on road trips and in life.

My entry to the Sunset Shipping contest "Journeys"

Vinyl Scratch likes football. Octavia really likes football. Vinyl Scratch is terribly confused.

This is all Zaponator's fault.

Fluttershy often listens to the secrets of friends and others around her. Most days, she doesn't mind at all. But secrets carry their own hidden weight.

Thank you to Tsitra, Yossarian, Delta, and Rose Quill for prereading!

Princess Cadance will find what she seeks at the top of the staircase. She just has to reach it.

No matter how high a pegasus flies, they are bound to fall one way or another. For some, the fall is far less literal than others. Sometimes a pony can fall on the inside.

Such can be said for Spitfire who, after a botched routine, thinks that perhaps her days as the Wonderbolts captain are numbered.

Fluttershy sets out to prove her otherwise.

It has been a few days since the Fall Formal. Sunset is the construction crew's gopher, she still eats lunch alone, and she's feeling worse than ever. At the very least, she can feel proud of not having been a total she-demon since the dance. In fact, other than being lonely, she's been a model student.

So why in the name of Celestia is she being called to the principal's office?

A lot can change in a thousand years. For a pony out of her time like Somnambula, it can be disorienting and confusing. With her mind full of worries about her home, she decides to take a trip south to see her old hometown. But will she really find peace in a place where so much has changed, or does she perhaps have another reason for making the journey?

There's nothing Lyra loves more than playing her lyre in Ponyville Park. The welcoming atmosphere, and sounds of nature adding to her already wonderful music. Though, during the cold winter nights, it does get awful lonely, and incredibly cold.

Perhaps Lyra is in need of some company this time around?

This story features Time Turner, not Doctor Whooves. The character only goes under the latter tag, unfortunately.

The Sirens were defeated at the Battle of the bands, something that seemed impossible to them.

So what did they do after running off?

This was written based on a prompt from Ebon Quill, who wanted to see inner monologues of the Sirens post Battle.

Wonderbolts have a duty to Equestria. In the case of Spitfire, however, duty does not stop there.

Ex-Wonderbolt Wind Rider, now dishonourably discharged, is living out his days on the seedier side of Manehattan. Under her own secret obligations, and certainly not because she wants to, Spitfire seeks him out and spends a few hours with him, giving him some company.

If both of them can agree on one thing, it's that this constitutes several hours too many.
