My pride has been killing me ever since I started down this path, and I have helped it along all the way. With every decision I've made, with every boast I've shouted, with every crime I've committed, it's strangled me more and more, it's cut out the foal my parents once knew and the mare that I could have been. Maybe, if things had gone differently, I could have been useful with my life, I could have helped somepony. Maybe I could have been truly great.

Now, though, it's too late. I can't take back any of the decisions I've made, I can't rewind time and warn myself of how I was destined to fail, of how I was poisoning my mind with fruitless hopes and vain reasoning. All I have left is this paper on which I can jot down my final thoughts, this pen with which I can make a record of my sins. As pitiful as it is, this is all I can do to redeem myself. This is my only way to atone...

Not all scars are visible. Fluttershy was the object of countless jokes and taunts aimed at her aerial ineptitude and her close relationship with Rainbow Dash during flight school. Even now, years removed from the fillyhood traumas of her past, Ponyville's resident animal expert feels the effects. She tried to build walls to keep all of the memories at bay, but now those walls are a little too close for comfort.

At her coronation after-party, Twilight gets a little freaked out at the prospect of growing into her new life, especially one specific aspect of it. She knows better than anyone that talking her problems over with a friend can help tremendously, but she doesn't have many friends with whom she'd be comfortable talking about this particular problem, let alone ones who would really understand what she's going through.

...unless she broadens her definition of "friend."

After the events of 'Magic Duel' Fluttershy can now once more visit Zecora and restock on medicinal herbs that she had run out of. But something comes up on the way there inside the forest. A mare she thought long gone, now in front of her helpless and wounded. Fluttershy not being able to stand the sight brings the pony back to her cottage and nurses her back to health, learning some very special things about the mare.

Some days are tough, others are tougher. For Scootaloo, this is a tougher day. Sticks and stones can break bones, but words always kill me. Especially, when they make you feel worthless and pathetic. Once her favorite idol hears about this, Rainbow Dash is determined to help her out.

You'll be okay, I promise.

Inspired by a song called "Keep Faith." WARNING! The song contains screaming. So if it's not your cup of tea, don't try it. But if you wanna give it a try anyway, don't say I didn't warn ya.

I randomly found the image on the internet and added my own little additions to it. I do not take credit for it. At all. But here's the link that was kindly given to me for this artist: Where's that bloody link. It's gotta be somewhere. I just wonder where it is. Oh wait! There it is!

The Tunnel of Love is a magical and romantic place in the Everfree Forest, and Twilight intends to find out about it first hoof. With Applejack by her side, it seems like the perfect time to talk to her friend about the feelings she's been having.

But when it turns out that Applejack has been through the tunnel before, and has no interest in going through again, Twilight's hopes and dreams are tested by a deeper understanding of the tunnel and what it shows.
