Check this blog for reasons why this story is now on hiatus.

The three fillies of our story are so desperate to get their Cutie Marks that they've formed the not-so-secret secret society, the Cutie Mark Crusaders. After having Crusaded around their hometown of Ponyville, they turn their sights to the wonders beyond (even if traveling by themselves gets them in trouble with their sisters).

But outside of their not-so-peaceful peaceful town, they find that not everything is as wonderful as it seems and they very well may be the only ones who can do something about it (along with help from a couple of new friends).

Follow the Cutie Mark Crusaders as they search for their special talents but end up finding more about themselves and each other than they ever imagined, in the exciting Adventures of the Cutie Mark Crusaders - Fillies on a Mission!

This, if you haven't noticed, is a long story. There is still much more to come as well. There are a lot of slice of life stuff at the start, but not all adventure stories start off with loud explosions and huge disasters; the girls have a long journey of discovery ahead of them and not all of it promises to be nice quiet little things. Also, the alternate tag is for the fact that they will get their cutie marks, eventually; and the crossover tag is in case some of the references I plan to do is too much for a 'normal' story.

A huge thanks goes to Gwg who helped collaborate this with me as well as editing and proofreading the chapters
With some help by Tangoforce for anything we missed

Equestria is enjoying a time of peace and prosperity. The newly reunited Sisters rule without question and the Elements of Harmony protect the land from any and all evil.

But dark forces lurk in the shadows, hidden from sight… Plotting.

During the apparent chaos will two unlikely youngsters, Spike and Sweetie Belle, become more to each other than they had ever dreamed? Or. Will their new found feelings spell doom for all of Equestria?

Meet Big Macintosh. The older brother of Applejack and AppleBloom. The only grandson of Granny Smith. Coltfriend of Rarity. Local apple farmer and, of course, the main character of the story!

He has it all, folks. A loving family, a beautiful marefriend, caring friends, and the best life he could ever had!

Nothing can go wrong, rihgt?

Crap, typo.

Nothing can go wrong, right?

Much better.

On one of her regular hunts for gemstones, Rarity discovers a treasure trove beyond her wildest dreams... and the lavender-scaled dragon who collected it. Despite a rocky first meeting, Rarity and Greenfire soon find themselves drawn to each other more and more. But the question remains: How did a young dragon end up in the Everfree Forest all alone?

An alternate universe story that puts our favorite purple dragon and his beloved fashionista into a slightly different situation. Art used with permission from the wonderful ArtisteFish!

After finding her assistant missing again during her court duties, Twilight finds Spike with none other then Fluttershy and learns that the two have been a couple for a while. After overcoming her shock, she is told the story of how the two, unexpectedly, found comfort in each others embrace...

It's been more than a thousand years since the Mane Six's adventures in Ponyville, and things look very different. Equestria is gone, devoured by chaos. Nightmare creatures roam the lands, changelings prey on the few remaining pony settlements, and all trace of the peace and harmony during Princess Celestia's reign has vanished.

Until, that is, a small group of ponies set out to map the Tangle, and find a slumbering dragon inside. Now Spike, a millenium out of his time and with only his memories to comfort him, is ponykind's only hope. Together, he and his new friends set out to find the one pony who can set things right: Twilight Sparkle.

AUTHOR'S NOTES

- Beware of spoilers in the comment section!
- Currently undergoing heavy revision for chapters nineteen and onward. The "lost" chapters - that is, the story as it was originally published - can be found here.

Who is Scootaloo? Everypony knows about her present, but when it comes to her past there are as many different answers as there are questions.

Is she the love child of two star-crossed lovers? The last hope for the future? The child of a broken home? A mysterious figure fighting a war no pony knows about? Or is it something else entirely? Is she even a pony at all?

Twilight Sparkle decides to ask everypony in Ponyville and find out about Scootaloo...and the stories, rumors and gossip she gets will leave her wondering how the truth can ever compete with fiction.

This is my first fanfic, and it is a Sparity. To be exact I've adapted scenario from one of my all time favorite animated series, just to let you know I'm not that brilliant. ;)
I'm not English native speaker, so go easy on me. ;) Please let me know if you find any errors.

I'd also like to say, that I'm very grateful to my friend irky3, and if you enjoy the story you should be thankful too. Reason being without her proofreading it would be MUCH worse. ;D Remember though, she's not native speaker either.
