"Do you ever feel like you were born… wrong?" 

"Huh?" 

"I mean… I dunno, sometimes I feel like I was meant to be a pegasus. Like you."

Rainbow often wondered what it’d be like to be a pegasus. Too bad she wasn’t born one. A mare can dream, though. Sometimes that’s all she can do.

Thank you to Sir Fiddler for prereading this :)

Fluttershy asks Applejack to help her with her garden, but the truth is, Fluttershy really wants to learn about Earth Pony magic, and she might also maybe like the earth pony more than she knows.

Even if I turned the record player off, the music would keep skipping.

Applejack and Rainbow Dash have been dating in secret for weeks now. One afternoon, they finally find the opportunity to spend some "quality" time alone together. When Scootaloo shows up, happy and unannounced, what are the two marefriends to do?

Play laser tag with the filly, of course.

It's New Year's Eve. Do you know where you and your friends are?

Rarity's wearing sequins again, and Rainbow's not happy about it. But when one of Rainbow's comments leads the rest of the Mane Six to suspect she's hiding something, they go on an epic quest for the truth, and end up uncovering one of Ponyville's biggest secrets. And, considering Pinkie is in on it and was never put under a Pinkie Promise to keep it, it's kind of a miracle it took them this long to find out.

Big thanks to OriDragon for editing!

An alarm sounds. There's a planet nearby. I wonder if anyone can hear me.
