Losing a family member is never easy but Applejack makes it look like it. However, her friends and family can see through the facade and it takes something special for the cow pony to open up.

I'm rewriting the story. To my fans, I'd say it'll be worth re-reading.
Minor tweaks in some events, such as extension. I want this to be featured on EqD at some point, and they demand 3,000+ words per chapter. That'll be easy on everything but Ch5 which is currently 1,100 or something. I might combine it and Ch4.
Thanks for all your devotion, and keep in mind that I love your comments and PMs!
Oh, and Jecht finally has a cutiemark, and I'm coming up with names for her parents. Yeah.

This story is a sequel to Of Solicitude

Ten years after a massive war, Equestria has changed. The Empire now rules over all, giving peace and prosperity to those that deserve it, but some are against this new rulership.
The CMC, a small, raggedy group of smugglers working for the Apple family, are caught red-hoofed by an Imperial patrol. As the friends fight for their lives, they learn about themselves, each other, and the world they now reside in.
Meanwhile, in Canterlot, Emperor Blueblood has amassed a massive fleet and is preparing to smash what is left of the rebellion under the oppressive hoof of his Empire.

Rainbow Dash is the bravest, most fearless pony in all of Equestria. But when she is visited by nightmares for the first time in many years, can Dash swallow her pride and seek comfort from a small pink pony and some delicious hot beverages? And is this the ideal opportunity to reveal feelings she has kept repressed for so long?

There's been another sighting of the mysterious Mare Do Well...but this time, all of Rainbow Dash's friends plead ignorance, insisting that they've put aside their costumes for good. Rainbow Dash is determined to uncover the masked mare's true identity before she's humiliated yet again, but this time around, the vigilante seems especially interested in her as well. Will Rainbow Dash be able to solve the mystery before the culprit takes the hoax too far? Or is she in danger of losing not only her mind, but her heart?

With the death of Scootaloo already taking its toll on the town of Ponyville, times are about to become much harder when another death rocks the small town. [Fan made fic based on Final Dreams of a Filly]

This was my first fan-fic. I've now moved on to my second one, as this one is finished, but I won't upload the second story until I have permission from an artist to use his picture.
Any feedback, especially constructive criticism, is appreciated, so go ahead and tell me what you think!
Also, please give me any opinion of the sad ending. I'm expecting bad reviews, because I actually didn't want to write it. I wrote a happy ending, and the only reason I wrote the sad ending was to keep everypony happy.
Thanks in advance for the feedback!

Vinyl Scratch is always up for a good party! But when she partys a bit too hard, even for her standards, she wakes up in a mysterious place with no memories of how she got there, and only the soft sound of Fur Elise to greet her listening ears.

Rainbow Dash finally did it! A sonic rainboom on command! Except she also managed to break every window in Applejack's farmhouse in the process. Now she has to pay for each one, and with her wages from managing the weather not nearly enough to cover the damage, she has to work on Applejack's farm for two whole weeks!
Talk about cruel and unusual punishment. Still, maybe it wouldn't be all bad. At least she would get to hang out with her friend AJ right? Wrong.
