Now, the best cellist in Equestria (Her words) is being sent to the cultural gulag of Ponyville (Also her words) to form and lead the Royal Ponyville Orchestra to greatness (Princess Luna's words).

Now has a sequel, Princess Luna's Academy of the Arts and Sciences.

Bonus: Have some fan art made by GamingMelody I found when I accidentally typed my username into Deviant Art's search tool instead of logging in. It's cool someone liked my words enough to draw them, and I hope anyone who does so in the future will send me a link so I can plug them in whatever way I can.

Sweetie Belle gets a 'love at first sight' crush on a pegasus known as Show Tail, who seems far more interested in everything else but her. Dealing with one's first crush is hard, when you have to beg for his attention. But if you persevere, just maybe, you can win a heart. Oh the woes of young love. Hope you like this better! I know I do!

In Sweet Apple Acres, Apple Bloom finds a book that claims it will help guide her to form a perfect AppleDash pairing. Along with her fellow crusaders, Apple Bloom tries to follow the steps the book gives as best she can, but soon finds it much harder than she thought.

Rainbow Dash has something she needs to ask Twilight. Something personal.

CW: Discussion of death, mortality and the end of the self. Doesn't include any actual death in-story.

This story is a sequel to Sweet, Sweet Record O' Mine

A couple of days after Applejack finally broke her apple-bucking record, Rainbow Dash takes her on a date. Fun times and bonding are in store for the two when they end up at a race in Appleoosa. They have a whole day to spend, why not have some fun out on the town?

Happens after the events of Sweet, Sweet Record O’ Mine. It’s not a required read, but I recommend you do read it.
Updates every Friday until the three chapters are up.
Cover: Done by me :)
Big thank you to Krickis and RainbowDashSonicFast
for proof-reading!

Rainbow Dash is the coolest and fastest pony ever! Everything is going her way lately! Nothing can stop her!

Though she is starting to feel not so awesome. Her mood swings a lot, she doesn't feel too well, and she has gotten some strange food habits.

Taking a friend's advice, she goes to the doctor to find out what is going on. She gets some news she was not prepared for, neither was her friends.

Rainbow Dash is pregnant...

Granny Smith sits in her bed awaiting the care of Applejack. Or was she?

Sunset Shimmer has a crush on Rarity. Sweetie Belle is not happy about this.

An entry into the Pride and Positivity event.

The daily lives of the royal princesses, often times is pretty simple. Wake up, raise or lower their celestial bodies, hold court, meetings, sleep, and repeat. Oh, and dealing with their infuriating nephew! Overall, things aren't all that easy for them but it's manageable and mundane.

But when an innocent wish came true, both sisters are now facing a new Blueblood. One that can be considered better, yet for some reason, this version seems to have forgotten how magic works and keeps looking at the world like a newborn baby.

So what happens now? Did their wish actually come true? Is it some sort of act? Has he been replaced by a changeling? And what does this new Blueblood mean for Equestria?

Only one thing is for sure, shenanigans will appear and a lot of ponies are about to spit their coffee. Look out Equestria! There is a new Blueblood on the loose, and this one might actually be worthy of the title 'Prince'.

The 'Romance' tag is for events that happen later on the chapters

I made this out of curiosity and intrigue, so there is no need to take too seriously. This takes place during season 8 before Spike got his wings.

Rated ‘Teen’ for language, mild violence, and graphic depiction of cuddling. Ratings could change at any moment depending on how the story progresses.

Applejack didn't plan on kissing Rainbow Dash. It just happened, really.

Now Rainbow Dash wants answers...and Applejack isn't sure she has them.

Written for the Pride and Positivity 2021 event.
