She loves everything about it...except for talking about it in front of others. When it comes to her family she doesn't want to brag. But at the same time she's the Element of Loyalty and can't exactly keep it a secret from her best friends as it isn't fair to them. She makes the decision to tell everypony at Twilight's latest slumber party seems to be the perfect opportunity for such; that is if she can work up the nerve to do so.

Rainbow Dash suffers a personal loss with the death of her parents and feels alone in the world. Her friends don't really understand her situation an she's not very inclined to explain it. However a certain farm pony isn't taking the matter at face value and doesn't feel inclined to leave her friend alone, regardless of what has to be done.

This story is a sequel to Friends and Family

Rainbow Dash is experiencing horrible nightmares of unspeakable torture. They're so vivid she's having trouble telling what's real and what's a nightly illusion. She's scared and confused and if she's to have any hope of coming out alright she'll need to rely on her friends to lend a helping hoof.

The story is set in the same world as the "Friends and Family" storyline but doesn't play any part in it other than taking note of Rainbow Dash's relationship with Applejack.

Rated for instances of extreme and comical violence.

This story is a sequel to Friends and Family

Not so much a sequel as a side story to "Friends and Family." It's Family Appreciation Day and Applejack is unable to attend. Rainbow Dash ultimately has to make an appearance and face her own apprehension at the public revelation and in the process confront some of the issues she'd been secretly carrying all by herself.

A "new" stallion arrives in Ponyville and is trying to stay out of sight. Too bad he runs directly into Pinkie Pie. Why is he running? Who is he hiding from? Can he possibly remain unseen while caught in the wake of hurricane Pinkie? More importantly, is running away the true answer to his problems? A story of learning from your mistakes, being willing to put your past blunders behind you, and never forgetting those who support you through thick and thin.

The Wonderbolts are debuting a new show in the skies of Ponyville. Rainbow Dash is ecstatic to see a performance up close and personal. But when she is left speechless by their unbelievable techniques, she begins to question her chances. Lost in her thoughts, a very unexpected surprise throws her life into a roller coaster. A story of staying true to yourself and knowing when to listen to your heart, even if it isn't the logical choice.

This story is a sequel to That's Not Quite How He Told It...

(Takes place right after the appearance of Shining Armor and Cadance in Piercing the Heavens, but there is no need to read the behemoth to enjoy this little short.)

Twilight Sparkle is feeling down, watching her friends find love while she remains alone. She begins to wonder if as the Princess of Friendship, that is all she’s ever destined to have: Friendship. When Shining Armor and Princess Cadance come to visit, she agrees to let her BBBFF help on the matter!

And soon learns that she probably should have asked Cadance instead…

A story about longing and how searching actively for love seldom yields results. Love has a funny way of finding you.

This story is a sequel to Flying Sky-High

So much has happened in the past year. Friends have been made, battles have been fought, and love has bloomed. Now at long last, Rainbow Dash has the chance of a lifetime: a chance to become a Wonderbolt and instantly be part of an elite squad. However, one of the key judges for the tryout is none other than her love: Soarin. He is bound by his profession to be fair and honest in his selection. Will their relationship give Dash an edge in the tryouts? Or will it strike her down before she even gets there?

Also what of the dark magic within Soarin? He's kept quiet about it for a while, but not all is as well as he lets on.

And what of the Shadowbolts? They scattered after the battle with Nightshade. Surely they didn't just disappear.

A story of remaining strong in the face of harsh challenges. Life and love can be tough, but strong hearts always find a way to prevail.

This Fic's length is a bit intimidating, but it is broken into four parts, each of which could be considered their own stories with clear beginnings and conclusions. I decided to keep it all together because it was how my outline was structured (aka i completely underestimated the length).

This is not a Gurren Lagann Crossover. The title was a coincidence. (But said coincidence has led to many references and characters that parody the anime)
