It's five years in the future, and the Cutie Mark Crusaders have changed a lot over the years.
Sweetie Belle is living with Rarity while her parents are traveling abroad.
Apple Bloom is working her hardest to keep her family and farm from falling apart.
Scootaloo now lives with Rainbow Dash ever since the tragedy that happened one year ago.
Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom both attend the Ponyville Academy of Higher Learning.

But strange things are occurring at this institution of knowledge. Diamond Tiara is worse that ever (no surprise there), and a certain teacher seems to despise them.

Little do they know the dark forces that lurk close.

Flagged as teen due to some non-child friendly fight content.

Discord is up to his old tricks again...But he's noticed something. Something that he can't explain: Love.

And once finding out about it, he comes to the logical conclusion that he needs it...And unfortunately for Ponyville's local farm-mare, he's set his sights on her.

With Cadance's help, will he succeed? Or will Applejack buck him all the way to Tartarus?

Most people think Maud Pie is just plain boring, but in truth, she just takes more time to understand. Most people think Cheese Sandwich is a loud party animal.... but there is much more to him than that. Everyone thinks they are nothing alike. But, as the saying goes, opposites attract! When Maud and Cheese get together, it turns out that they may be opposites in personality, but they are one in spirit.

Fact can be stranger than fiction. When Discord's biology proves that again, Fluttershy has announcements to make.

(Originally conceived as a oneshot, this story has become a series of them because of the massive popularity of the first installment and how it was featured on the front page.)

Pairing: Soarin/Rainbow Dash

Chapter 1: Meet the Parents Rainbow Dash has a brilliant idea: since she hasn't seen her parents in awhile, why not bring her new boyfriend with her to visit them? Unfortunately for Soarin, this means meeting her father and mother (Firefly). Will the Wonderbolt survive the visit? Will I ever learn how to do comedy? There is a single yes and a no between these two important questions.

Chapter 2: Meet the Scootaloo Soarin unexpectedly finds himself introduced to Rainbow Dash's number one fan, Scootaloo, and once again finds himself learning a bit about Dash's world. Warning: Might make you squee.
