Sunshine Smiles enjoys the promise of a new day, the rosy reds of dawn, the moment when the new sun's light kisses Equestria.

Moonlight Raven prefers the thoughtful solitude of the night, the soft shadows of moonlight and the peaceful silence of a slumbering city.

With Maud settling down in Ponyville, Marble studying in the Crystal Empire, and her parents finally deciding to retire, Pinkie Pie wonders if Limestone is going to be okay running the Pie Family Farm all by herself. She's never done well on her own, and her cold demeanor probably isn't going to get her a boyfriend anytime soon.

Luckily, she knows an equally lonely human who is perfect for the job!

Retirement. It was a tough subject for Spitfire. She knew she was about to retire soon, but she hadn' t notified Fleetfoot and Soarin of her decision. Unfortunately for Spitfire, Fleetfoot already knows and is more than apt to tell her all of her feelings on the matter. She's angry. She's anxious. She's upset.

She just wants Spitfire not to leave. Was it that hard to want something like this in life?

Apparently to Spitfire, there's more to this than meets the eye.

When Princess Twilight Sparkle suffered "one of those days" that pushed her to her breaking point, Spike worked to salvage the rest of her day. He was driven to ensure what the stressed Princess of Friendship still needed done would get done, perfectly.

However, once the bad luck that plagued Twilight started targeting Spike, his self-appointed mission threatened to push him to his own breaking point.

The idea for this story was requested by wonderkid125 and is the first of my two 5th-year anniversary stories of opening my account on this site. Man do time flies...

Applejack and Rarity decided to give it a try. They decided to explore their complicated feelings, even at the risk of upsetting the status quo. They were thankful when everything worked out.

At first.

As time passed and the cracks in their relationship started to become obvious, they realized that even for a couple of hardworking mares like them, sometimes...

It just doesn't work.

Twilight Sparkle wakes up one day to find her marefriend, Tempest Shadow, has gone out of her way to make sure Twilight has the perfect day. However, Twilight has a nagging feeling there’s a reason for the favors, and she’s determined to figure out what it is.

An unexpected illness took the life of Night Light, husband of Twilight Velvet and father of Twilight Sparkle, Shining Armor, and Spike. It was the day of his funeral.

And Spike would not cry.

After a strange alien creature named Anon suddenly showed up in Equestria, it was only natural that Twilight Sparkle would want to help him adjust to his new environment. To do so, she enlists the help of local school teacher Ms. Cheerilee. With her guidance, Anon should be able to learn how to do things the "pony way," and before he knows it, he'll be another friendly face in Ponyville's growing community.

Unfortunately, Cheerilee isn't exactly a fan of the new human in town, nor is said human particularly happy to be under the tutelage of an elementary school teacher.

Is there any hope of them getting along?
