Rainbow Dash can't wait to start the awesome day she has planned for her and Applejack. She's so eager she's already parked herself right outside the Acres, bright and early.

But geeze, what's taking AJ so long?

Choices. We all make choices in life. Most of these are simple: what to wear, what to eat, when to sleep. Rainbow Dash was given a choice, and she chose….

That choice has haunted her every day. Finally, she’s decided to try and make amends, to say she’s sorry. She does this not because she expects forgiveness, but because every fiber in her body needs her to. For how can one move on without first apologizing to those they’ve wronged?

When your life is as dull a gray as the world that surrounds you, the mundanities can make it all seem meaningless. Sometimes all we need is a little color -- or six -- to reintroduce us to what truly makes life worth living.

In a world where humans and ponies manage to live in harmony you and Rainbow Dash are the best friends. This is just another typical night for you both.

Rainbow Dash had grown used to hiding her feelings for her friend until one dream shakes her to the core. Now she is up all hours of the night, unable to eat, sleep or even fly right. However, her pain is nothing compared to the oncoming threat to Ponyville. A griphon regime is rising, vengeance of years of oppression in their eyes. An AppleDash story with a side of chaos.

Applejack has brushed her mane, put a ribbon on her hat, and there's a sway in her step. Most ponies just want to know who the special pony is.

Rainbow Dash doesn't buy it. Love is mushy, and AJ isn't mushy. Love means liking somepony more than her friends, and AJ would never like another pony more than Dash. Love means missing a game of horseshoes to go tell a pony that she's in love with them, and if there is one thing Dash is sure of, it's that AJ is not going to miss that game... no matter what Applejack thinks about it.

Applejack and Rainbow are summoned by the Cutie Map to solve another friendship problem. But to their surprise, the problem lies on the other side of the portal to the human world.

Now, finding themselves as funny looking, two-legged, small-nosed, mostly hairless monkey people, the two are faced with some important questions:

Can they survive life in this brave new world? Will they discover what the friendship problem is? How long will they be stuck here? And just why do their human counterparts seem to not be getting along?

Written for the fifth Appledash contest, "Second Chances".

There's nothing worse than feeling alone during the holidays, something that Scootaloo is all to familiar with. She knows that she has no family to celebrate with, save for a mother so drunk off cider she doesn't realize her daughter's heartbreak.

This is the filly's reality- the harsh card fate has dealt her. But this Hearth's Warming Eve, as she treks home through the brisk air all by herself, a certain rainbow-maned pegasus will show her the true meaning of family.

This story is a sequel to Greatest Fear

Rainbow Dash and Applejack compete all the time. For the most part the athletic girls come out about even most of the time. But there is one area where Rainbow Dash just can't seem to beat her at all. Applejack is completely unflappable, and it annoys Rainbow Dash to no end that she continually fails to spook her. But seeing as it's Halloween, the day when trying to get under someone's skin is socially acceptable, it seems like the perfect time to try to fix that little shortcoming.
But Applejack is starting to wonder just why it is that Rainbow Dash is spending so much time trying to get her attention. It's shaping up to be a long holiday at school for both girls. Is there something Rainbow Dash can do to scare Applejack, and just what will happen if she does.

This is not a direct sequel to the original Greatest Fear, but rather another story with the same premise. Therefore you don't need to read the original as the events of that story are not connected to this one.

Happy Halloween everyone. Decided Halloween needed more attention this year, so I decided to make Greatest fear into a series. At this point each will be a stand alone story, only joined to the original by a title and will not affect one another. Will I publish them every year? Maybe. Will they all feature Rainbow Dash? Maybe. Just having some fun with this. Let me know what you think down below.

Far too busy to make the trip to town hall, Rainbow Dash does Applejack a favor and brings her the quarterly crop reports.

"Romance" tag added because story contains: A stolen kiss.
