"Applejack?"
"Yes Twi?"
"I found this book outside the Everfree Forest... It seems to be Apple Bloom's diary."
"Mah sis kept a Diary? Does it say what happened to her?"
"...Yes..."

TheLostNarrator did a fantastic reading of this story some time ago; find it here.

Spike's dreams of Rarity are shattered, and at the worst possible time, for his friends will need him to make it through their greatest crisis.

Inspired by the United Kingdom entry to the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest, "Love Will Set You Free" by Engelbert Humperdinck. From the second chapter onward, different songs serve as the inspiration, so check the comments for the links.

My unicorn parents called me a worthless mud pony. They pushed me every day to overcome my lowly status. When I woke up one morning with my cutie mark, I thought they would love me. I couldn’t have been farther from the truth.

It was not destiny or enjoyment that led me to discover the cello and composing. My parents made that decision, deciding before I was born I would continue their family legacy of famous musicians.

They did not realize what that decision would cost them.

This story is a sequel to Song of Whispers

It wasn't enough for the Cutie Mark Crusaders to simply find their Cutie Marks and call it quits, and all it took was one fateful day in their clubhouse with Spike and Ruby Pinch to set into motion a chain of events that would turn their simple lives upside down. Crushes are formed, friendships are tested, and will Spike ever get to kiss Sweetie Belle? Let the passion of young love burn free.

In an act of severe desperation, Thunderlane tries to steal from the Carousel Boutique. His plans are foiled when he is caught by Rarity, who surprisingly welcomes him with a warm smile. Little does he know, that Equestria's most generous pony will remind him of what is most important in life.

Girls repulse you. All those tea parties and cooties and pink bows and stuff. A smart ten year old colt like yourself wants nothing to do with them! You're perfectly happy playing with your model train set. But when the Cutie Mark Crusaders chase you down to discover the secrets of gaining a Cutie Mark, you find there's more to those fillies than you think. Especially their ringleader, Apple Bloom.

"Date".
That's definitely a word Rainbow Dash doesn't usually use.
Rainbow hardly knows what "romance" is.
But Rainbow Dash does know about winning. So what happens when Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash do a little bet?

Rated "teen" for alcohol use and some mature content

I always wanted to go to Equestria. When I got the chance, I took the deal without reading the fine print. To my surprise, I didn't arrive there as a pony, or even as a human. It seems I get to view this world from a different perspective than what I've imagined.

My name is Echo. I am a Diamond Dog.
