This story is a sequel to Nightingale

Four years have gone by since Gallus and Silverstream began dating, and he thinks he's ready to pop the question.

"'Colts will be Colts' is not a sentiment that applies here at my Friendship School!

Times have changed. Kids or not, everyone, students of friendship included, have to answer for these sorts of disrespectful displays. Now, all of you, down to Counselor Glimmer's office, immediately! I'm going to have a long chat with her about what to do with you all!"

Dragons are something of an enigma to Equestria. Those who do live within the borders are largely reclusive, either building their hoards or sleeping away the decades. So far as dragons who are active in everyday life in Ponyville go, Smolder represents a 100% increase in the population.

Twilight cannot let this opportunity slip her by. Enough time has passed for it to not be a diplomatic faux pas to sit Smolder down and grill her for much needed details on her species, not only for the sake of science, but for the benefit of the young dragon in her personal care. Naturally, the topic of death comes up.

Twilight handles that about as well as you might expect.

Discussion of death is largely academic and intended to be comedic but I've tagged it teen to be safe. No actual death or scenes of violence are shown so I didn't think the death tag itself was needed. It's also tagged for comedy as that was my intent, but only you can tell me if it's actually funny or not.

Now with sequel: Growing Up Dragon

Smolder has a nightmare.

What confuses her is that it's of something she didn't think she was actually afraid of.

This story is a sequel to What's Your Problem?

With the second semester of Princess Twilight Sparkle’s school of Friendship in full swing, a series of field trips is planned to foreign nations.  Specifically, the home countries of the five non-pony exchange students. These will be both a gesture of goodwill on all sides, and a chance for the various cultures to be exposed to each other first hoof, claw, and talon.

Follow Gallus, Ocellus, Yona, Smolder, Silverstream, and Sandbar as they continue to mature while learning about the countries their friends come from.

This is my second long-form story on here, meant to be a deeper exploration of the Student 6 and their homelands. Expect a lot of soft world-building and minor character development, and if you get any ideas for your own fanfictions from all this exploration, good for you! :3

The arcs, in tentative order, will go through...

• The Hive (Changelings)
• Mount Aris (Hippogriffs)
• The Dragon Lands (Dragons)
• Yakyakistan (Yaks)
• Griffonstone (Griffons)

There will also be interludes which explore the Young Six and other students, with more detailed character development / analysis than the first one.

When Twilight Sparkle was four years old, her mother bought her a tombstone.

Gallus really should have remembered that not only was he friends with a changeling, but said changeling can feel certain emotions.

Specifically: Love.

Implied Gallus x Silverstream

Pre-Read by Darth Link 22

Every 500 years, the dragons pick one of their own to take a journey to the First Flame, the origin of the dragon's fire breathing ability, and rekindle the sacred fires. When the time comes again, Dragon Lord Ember has decided that, for political reasons, Smolder should be the one to go. And in order to help her, she's allowed to pick one companion to go with her. So, she decides to pick the absolute best professor to go with her, one that has taken on several large creatures and escaped without a scratch.

Professor Fluttershy.

It can only end so well...

Silverstream and her husband Gallus are going to be parents! Everyone is so excited about their egg.

Well…almost everyone.

We’re Eggspecting! takes place a few years after the Young Six graduate from the School of Friendship and go their (mostly) separate ways.

Gallus always enjoys spending Hearth's Warming with his schoolfriends in Ponyville, and he wants to ensure they have the best time possible. When Sandbar mentions how much he enjoyed making wreaths as a colt, it seems like the perfect activity for the six of them to do together. If only it wasn't so cold outside.
