When Pinkie's grandma passes away, she needs somepony to be understanding and to sympathise with her. Even the Element of Laughter cries from time to time.

A/N: Some time ago I read some short fics about AJ finding out about her parents' death. Their lack of presence in the show (and I hope it stays this way) can easily be translated as them being gone. Instead of repeating the concept, I used it as a background for writing this short story where Pinkie needs a crying shoulder, and AJ seemed to me like an obvious choice.

A broken memory, strange occurrences at the farm, and something always in the corner of her eye. Applejack doesn't know what's going on or why she's being haunted by this strange apparition that appeared at the anniversary of her parents' deaths. Apple Bloom and Big Mac's strange behavior isn't helping either. Why does she feel so strangely alone? And just maybe, the ghost's reason for being could be too painful for her to face.

After discovering reading is pretty cool during a hospital stay, Rainbow Dash has a third random encounter with one of the Wonderbolts she doesn't know everything about: Soarin'. A series of comedic adventures leaves him owing her big time yet again, leading to a friendship that turns out to be one heck of a wild ride and a whole lot more.

On the longest day of the thousandth year, only Twilight Sparkle really knew what she was getting into. That didn't stop five mares she'd met less than a day before from insisting on tagging along. They'd all go on to be heroes, but it's not like they knew that at the time. What went through their minds on that dark summer morning?
