Flowers often carry heavy meanings. Roseluck prides herself in knowing the meaning behind every flower. A flower however, has a deeper meaning. Big Mac never has any luck with flowers. For Rarity a flower is an elegant thing with truly humble beginnings. For Caramel a flower means freedom. And for Rainbow Dash, a flower is the mark of a new beginning. Hidden in the rose garden they will find a meaning all of their own.

Takes Place before Magical Mystery Cure.

My first My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic fic.

After a stormy night in Ponyville, the Cutie Mark Crusaders are getting ready to gather at their clubhouse to try to think of how to get their cutie marks for the day. Little do they realize, that fate has other plans for Scootaloo, while a mishap with magic leaves Twilight Sparkle powerless.

The history books say that Commander Hurricane and his lieutenants Lightning Streak and Ice Wing successfully brought the Pegasi nation into a firm alliance with the other races, establishing a new country under the Royals in Equestria. Yet, time tends to forget the darker details of history. Not everypony was happy to see the mighty and miltant Pegasi subdued under the 'beneficial' union with the other races. The ensuing internal struggle would fade into Pegasi myth, a secret long thought laid to rest...

Thousands of years have passed. Equestria has been at peace under the Diarchy of Celestia and Luna. Nopony recalls the forgotten history of the Pegasi. It is all about to change. Storms from the past are on the horizon, an ancient vengeance set to transform Equestria. Only three unsuspecting pegasi stand destined to turn back the storm; to discover the forgotten Legacy of the Pegasi.

[Currently attempting a revival of this story after five years. I'd like to issue a personal apology for taking so bloody long.]

Spike has been in love with Rarity since they first met, so when a young filly reveals her feelings for him at the worst possible time, he ends up caught in the middle of a feud that is liable to tear a family apart. If only he could understand his own heart.

This is a tale of a stranger seeking redemption.

This story is a sequel to Learn to Fly (Derpy's Tale)

Scootaloo always wanted to join the Wonderbolts, but after she learns that she has a degenerative disease her dreams are crushed and she is forced to move to Ponyville, leaving her friends behind. She believes her life is forever ruined and her heart is forever broken, but after she meets an unlikely friend she learns that the sky is still the limit, but first she needs to heal a different sort of wound...

This is a sequel/spinoff to Learn to Fly. If you have not read it, skip the the forward.

Six years have passed since the events at the Tree of Harmony. Time has continued to flow and life has moved on. While the Bearers of Harmony have spread apart with the passage, their friendship mostly remains. However, the time has comes for the heroes of the past to step clear of the path of legends to live normal lives and make way for the heroes of the future.

Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo and Apple Bloom step onto the path's edge as word spreads of a joyous event; one that leads to a long overdue reunion of their predecessors. Memories resurface as they make up for lost time, though some expose the cracks in forgotten wounds.

Among it all, a new danger lurks and spreads; a threat to all lands, even beyond the borders of Equestria.

Join the Cutie Mark Crusaders on their journey as the story unfolds. Magic, love and excitement await as our young heroines undertake an unforgettable adventure to save the world and perhaps make a few new friends along the way.

Thanks to the friends from EditorsRus for their help finding things I overlooked and for their continued help!

The Ponies travel to Appleoosa to cheer on Big Mac in a competition of strength. His efforts are both awesome and inspiring, earning him high honors and regards. But when disaster strikes is his strength the answer? A story of knowing your limits, and when to listen to the voice of reason, even if it's very quiet.

This story has not been fully edited yet, i apologize for anything sloppy.

Being the mayor of Ponyville is not easy, not when you have the Elements of Harmony and the Cuite Mark Crusaders always causing trouble. Mayor Mare has a solution however, a Bachelor auction and Big Mac is the star of her little show. Follow Mac as he goes through his own personal hell, while the other stallions seem to be enjoying themselves!

Stallions on the Block: Big Mac, Soarin, Braeburn, Bulk Biceps, Prince Blueblood, Flash Sentry, Caramel, Thunderlane, Dr. Whooves/Time Turner, and Spike! Also two new ponies that you might be able to recognize.

Featured Story?! Thank you all!

Update: Since all of you have been debating the age, Jake and I have decided that the ages are as followed. Main Six are in their early twenties. CMC/Spike pre-teens 10-12. Mac mid twenties.

Thank you as always to jszellmer for the edits.

Thank you to KarmaDash for the idea bouncing along with Shrapmo as well.

Finally thank you mcwhale4 for the great cover art!

Also, here is what Auction has been like for Jake and Cap
Enjoy!

Scootaloo is a young pony who has endured quite a bit of hardships, but has made the best of her life, even if it hasn't always been so easy. The little filly from Port Mane shares, in her own words, the ups and downs of her life, and just what it means to endure.

Find out how Scootaloo has endured through love and loss. See her thoughts on Rainbow Dash, her family, the crusaders, Featherweight, Pipsqueak, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, Princess Luna and more.

[Image is deceptive, it's not always as sad as the image implies, there's all kinds of moods, but this is a pic I'm proud of, and it's relevant in parts. Also check this description for more pics as the story unfolds.]

THIS IS A SIMILAR BUT DIFFERENT UNIVERSE. I wrote this, starting during late Season 2, so I had to make judgment calls based on the information I had. As such, certain episodes thereafter do not match up, or fit in different places. Consequently, it is a very similar alternate universe. Many events happen in both this and the show timeline, but do not always match. I tried to stay consistent when possible, but certain things were lost to disagreements in interpretation. I like how I wrote my story and will not force it to match what came after I started writing. I've also decided to consider this fluidly finished. I still seem to make updates, but I no longer guarantee them.

[Please, if you read this, let me know what you think. PM me, comment, whatever. I just really want to hear people's thoughts!]
