I rewatched Season 4 this week, and after Inspiration Manifestation, my personal ban on writing fanfiction disintegrated and this oneshot somehow happened. Consider this a brief look into Rarity's state of mind after this episode's main events. No shipping goggles required, though you're welcome to bring them along if you wish.

Pinkie Pie really should have known better, some folks who could see were startled something fierce by her welcome wagon. That poor little filly had no idea what hit her.

And now she has to live with it.

Inspired by a scene from the story ...And it's freaking cold up here.

This story is a sequel to Past Sins

In the wake of the battle with Tirek, Twilight Sparkle becomes fixated on restoring Golden Oaks Library. After all, it was home for her little family of three. But as her attempts to repair the books and tree continuously fail, her friends must take matters into their own hooves. Discord, as the good friend he is, tosses Twilight and her extended family into an unexpected adventure while Twilight's other friends get to work on the new crystal palace.

All together, they'll do everything to ensure Twilight and her family have a place to call home when they reach the end of the road.

Pinkie Pie likes to make ponies laugh. It's what she does. Her goal is always to make ponies as happy as they can possibly be. So when she hears Fluttershy had a bad day yesterday, she immediately makes it her goal to cheer her good friend up and make her smile.
But maybe not with parties and games this time.

Poor Daring Do. All she wanted was a nice relaxing vacation. No archenemies; no deathtraps; no ancient treasures. Just her, a few colleagues, and a front-row seat to one of the most incredible sights in Equestrian nature: The breezies.

Unfortunately, adventure has a nasty habit of finding Daring Do even when she doesn't want it to. While preparing for the breezie safari, her bumbling student Tailspin accidentally stumbles upon the evil designs of a retired empress seeking revenge. Seeing Daring as a liability, the ex-empress has her new ally place a curse on her, transforming her into the most fragile creature in Equestria.

This works. For about five minutes.

Now a few inches high and royally ticked off, Daring must get accustomed to her new body with the help of Fluttershy and the great entomologist Professor Windsday if she wants any chance at payback. Meanwhile, a guilt-ridden Tailspin drags a hapless Tree Hugger into the desert in the hopes of finding a cure. These are uncharted waters for everyone involved, but Daring doesn't mind that part. That's what makes an adventure great, after all. No, she's more concerned about being paired up with the two most annoyingly indecisive pixies in the world.

Lotus is a professional masseuse. She sees the pony below the skin, and tends to coax just as much out of their mouths as their muscles. Late one day, she gives three very different massages to three close friends, all of whom mention a name she isn't familiar with: Applejack.

This story is a sequel to Mutual Interests

After finally coming to accept others into her life, Sunset's outlook takes a turn for the better. It's not perfect, though. Now she has a whole new set of problems: Others still walk on eggshells when she's around, the teachers still eye her with caution every chance they get, and she still has to get used to the intricate nuances of friendship. But with her friends by her side, and even the occasional help from unlikely sources, can Sunset help her fellow students see the new her? Or will the consequences of her past consume her future?

And who is this new teacher and why does he seem so interested in her?
