Shouldn’t have said she’d gotten bigger. Now she’s become obsessed with losing weight she’s convinced she’s gained. Good going Pinkie. Yeah you just sit and watch her burn those calories. Maybe Rainbow Dash could assist too.

Check out this awesome reading!

Note: Currently, this story is planned to be rewritten someday. I'll be frank: This is pretty bad as it stands now, and I cringe when looking back on what I wrote, which is a good thing in terms of improvement, I guess. The reading, which was extremely generous of the the kind soul who took the time and effort to read this, is available, and if there's something to take away from this story, it's that and not the story itself. Don't read this unless you don't mind bad writing.

When we married I thought it would be forever... Cliche, you could say - Yes it was, but it was my cliche life, the life I was happy living.

'All good things comes to an end' People said. But why it had to be so soon? How could life do such a thing - yank you out from my hooves so abruptly. Vanish away.

Oh Twilight, only if I could fly high enough to reach you...

This story is a sequel to The Royal Ponyville Orchestra

It's Octavia and Vinyl's wedding day, three of Equestria's princesses will be in attendance, and things couldn't be better for the long-suffering couple. Of course, with it being Octavia's wedding day, it would be stranger if things went right.

This story is a sequel to The Royal Ponyville Orchestra

I really just... Sure, I thought having a bachelorette party would be nice. Certainly, after the year I had, I wouldn't say no to a relaxing weekend in Canterlot with my friends, but instead, I get Bon-Bon confessing that she's a secret agent, and oh yes, she wants me to do a little light espionage for her. There are roughly a hundred things wrong with that statement, but by far, the worst one is that I, Octavia Melody, bastion of rationality, agreed to help her.

Note: The first three chapters are the story. The last two chapters are the originally published drafts that I'm keeping around in case someone actually preferred that version of events and so I have a monument to the fact that I can make some really stupid writing decisions sometimes.

Octavia has finally been promoted to first chair, unfortunately for her, that chair is in the new (and as of yet unformed) Royal Ponyville Orchestra. 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.

And an online reading.

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.

Expectations. Fame or infamy. Family. Friends. Work.

They all define everypony in different measures. Sometimes the feeling is positive... and sometimes... sometimes it gets to be a bit much.

Peppermint Sparkle has been hated all her life in Stable 2. Why? She's a PegaZebra. Along with that, the only Pegasus AND the only Zebra in Stable 2. She hates her life, and everypony hates her. So when her best friend, Little Pip, leaves the Stable in Pursuit of Velvet Remedy... Peppermint decides to leave her horrible life for what could be something more outside. Follow her on an amazing journey through The Wasteland - One that will not only change her life, but quite possible, everypony's!

Maybe that glance lasted just a little too long, or maybe a certain conversation could be interpreted as innuendo. Whatever it is, sometimes we see only what we want to see, and sometimes our fantasies get the best of us. Rarity is no exception.
