This story is a sequel to My Little Pony Friendship is Magic What If?: Volume 13

While we wait for the Gen 5 series to come out, let's take another look at Gen 4 and some more material still yet to be touched. It's that time yet again! Time for that series which dares to ask and seeks to answer that fateful question "What if that episode had been written differently?"

This time around, thirteen episodes are being rewritten here. This includes the last two episode of Season 3, making it the first season to be fully rewritten in this series. In addition, we're going all the way back to the pilot with a rewrite of the first two episodes. And we've also got redos of two Season 6 episodes, one of which is based on information made public from leaks. And those are just some of the episodes on tap this time.

The exact same disclaimer from all volumes prior applies, the episodes rewritten are based on my personal opinion so please respect it. Don't get offended if an episode you liked is on the list here, or an episode you didn't like isn't on this list. I'll gladly respect your opinions if you respect mine.

Of course it goes without saying by now but I obviously mean no disrespect of any sort to Hasbro, the DHX writing and editing staff, or anyone who likes the episodes that appear here. The intent of this fic, like all of its predecessors, is for entertainment purposes only.

As always, there are too many volumes now to link to every single one. So either check my homepage for the first volume and go from there, or use the also liked and similar pages to check for earlier volumes to see whether an episode has already been covered.

Zipp and Pipp have always been distant sisters. Their interests never aligned, and rarely did they spend time in each other's company when their mom wasn't involved. But after returning from an adventure and making friends with earth ponies and a unicorn, the two royals have an important question to answer: are they sisters, or are they family?

"If you ever need anything, come see me, okay?"

When Fluttershy said those words, Sunset had not really believed her. Just last week, Sunset had been a tyrant, a bully. Surely the girl was just being nice. They weren't really friends.

But as her emotions rage inside, Sunset begins to wonder if, perhaps, those words meant something. Perhaps she really could go to Fluttershy for something. Something only a friend can provide...

(Story idea requested by Derpy388.)

Button Mash has always been that weird little colt who likes video games more than anything else, or so they say. And that's what Sweetie Belle likes about him, really likes about him.

Eventually, she starts to realize that these feelings aren't just friendship but something far deeper. She's in love with Button Mash, and her friends want her to ask him out.

There's just one problem: Sweetie Belle doesn't know how she's supposed to get Button Mash's attention, let alone him tell how she feels. After all, she's not a video game.

Button Mash has had a crush on Rarity's little sister, Sweetie Belle, for quite some time now. He decides to work up the nerve and ask Sweetie Belle out on a date to celebrate Hearts & Hooves Day.

(Spoilers from School Raze!)

Although the magic has returned to Equestria and Cozy Glow is locked inside Tartarus, everything should be back to normal. One friendship student felt really guilty about the recent events even though she had nothing to do with it. So she goes to the School of Friendship's guidance counselor to talk about her problems.

Big Mac had seen this all before. The anger, the bravado, the attempt to prove himself. He knew what it all really meant, he knew what that little guy was trying to do. It was time Big Mac shared what it really means to be a stallion to look up to. And it was certainly time for a very lost colt to receive a talk amongst the apple trees.

A fic about masculinity, for all the guys out there that feel as insecure as I did. Be confident and let us stand strong together.

After Cozy Glow was sent to Tartarus and the magic was returned to Equestria, Twilight and the school staff still had a matter to discuss with the rest of the students. All of the students were gathered to the main hall of the school to find out what their head mare had to say. Little did the students knew, it was mainly about them.

Suggestion of this story was given by BezierBallad

Button Mash was completely bored from playing all of his video games. When Button sneaks in his brother's room, he finds a video game cartridge and decides to play it. Button will soon realize that the game in his brother's cartridge is about dating cute mares. Button then uses what he had learned from the game on most of the mares he knows.

What is a hero?

It's the question all of Lemon Crumble's thoughts come down to. She has made the pegasi realize that they needed to help the earth ponies and the unicorns, that they have to stick together with their fellow pony tribes, because only if they stand united in friendship, Equestria can be a strong and safe place.
She has led them into battle, has fought herself to protect her kingdom. She has fulfilled her duty for Equestria.
But even with all that, something was missing. An answer. An answer on the most important question Lemon Crumble had to ask herself after becoming a hero:

Why did she help?

Please don't debate Lemon Crumble's gender in the comments and please refer to her as a filly only. Otherwise you will be met with an instant block. This is not the place for debates, keep the comments relevant to the story.
