Everypony in Ponyville is celebrating the heroic return of the creatures who saved Equestria from Queen Chrysalis' evil kidnapping plot.

Everypony is happy to hear the news that the changelings, once the ponies' most terrifying enemies, have been changed by the power of friendship into something beautiful, something wonderful, and most of all, something friendly.

Maybe it's not the best time for Fiddlesticks to take Applejack aside to share her darkest secret, then. But secrets, like guilt and shame, have a way of burning inside you, demanding to come out.

In an attempt to put to rest a nagging question Twilight keeps bringing up, Rainbow Dash agrees to do some genealogical research into her family tree. Imagine her surprise when she finds out that Daring Do is a part of it.

In fact, Daring Do isn't some distant relative or lost cousin, she's the younger sister of Windy Whistles. A revelation that has never before been disclosed for reasons unknown.

Armed with this knowledge, Rainbow sets out to get some answers from none other than the newly discovered link herself, Daring Do. There must be a good reason why she's neglected to inform Rainbow of their shared connection all this time, right?

Rainbow gets the opportunity to be able to cast magic, but will the results end up more...ticklish then expected?

This story idea was requested by superfun.

Hope you like it, I enjoyed writing it.

(Takes place before "Friendship is Magic".)

Pinkie Pie has just met and befriend Mr. and Mrs. Cake, and is excited at the prospect of getting to live in the bakery that they own. However, she has to first get the okay from her parents to stay in Ponyville.

Igneous Rock and Cloudy Quartz agree to visit Ponyville to talk with Pinkie's potential new caretakers, which is great cause for concern for Pinkie given that the filly has a complicated relationship with her parents.

What will Igneous and Cloudy have to say on the subject of their daughter leaving the rock farm before her time? And what will Mr. and Mrs. Cake think of the unusual behaviors of the Pies?

Lyra Heartstrings is a silly mare. One of her hobbies is to make up silly nicknames for all her friends. It's a lot of fun. It's also a good way to make new friends.

Sometimes, one of those friends will be a very good friend. Sometimes she'll have an extra fun name to play with, and be really pretty and make great candy. That's more than a friend, actually. It's even better.

Thanks to Grey Vicar for prereading and Cryosite for help with the description.

Sometimes, Applejack has a hard time getting out of bed to face the day. But after weeks of staying at her home, nose to the grindstone, ponies start to get worried. She's fine, though. She insists she's just fine.

A newly-minted Princess Twi comforts an ornery subject.

Generously, a crack at a "friendship lesson"-style moral. Might as well call myself Ham Fist, but hopefully it's a pleasant bit of fluff.

Mild treatment of depression and body dysmorphia.

After three unsuccessful years of beating her own, single-day apple bucking record, Applejack decides that today is the day she'll beat it. Luckily for her, Rainbow Dash shows up to help. Unluckily for her, Rainbow Dash shows up to help. Why is she getting so distracted?

When Rainbow Dash told Pinkie her plan to prank the whole town, She got everyone together and came up with a plan to turn the tables on her friend to teach her a lesson in pranking.

But, what if she didn’t come out for the prank?

What if instead of witnessing Pinkie’s prank, she shut herself in her house to protect herself from the wrath of the cookie zombies? How would Pinkie react? More importantly, how would all of Ponyville react?

An alternate ending to 28 Pranks Later, and the first in my alternate ending series.

Happy Halloween!
