Gilda's been at Junior Speedsters Flight Camp for 3 months, and she still feels like she hasn't found her place. Even with her unique flight skills, the others seemed to ignore her entirely since she is a Griffin.

After another day of practice routines and ridicule, Rainbow Dash decides her friend needs some cheering up. And she's not giving up until she finds a solution to the griffin's problem.

Besides, most times all a sad friend really needs is a treat and someone to share the experience with.

After a dare devil stunt goes horribly wrong, Rainbow Dash starts to loose her memory. She cannot remember how she failed the stunt. All she remembers is how she lost her desire to be a Wonderbolt and how she wishes she never had her wings.

This is the struggle she goes through almost every day of her life.

After the Royal Sisters came into power, explorers set out across Equestria to make new discoveries and to report what they found. Dashing Hoof was one such pony, and his discovery was perhaps the most magical of all.

Rainbow Dash can't seem to think of an idea to stop Tank from hibernating so she turns to writing questionable song lyrics and bad fan fictions for inspiration.

After ascending to Princesshood, Twilight decides that it's time to really take the notion of "A Sound Mind in a Sound Body" to heart. She has the "Sound Mind" bit down (mostly), but years of sitting inside hunched over a book has given her quite a bit of ground to make up on the "Sound Body" front.

Fortunately, she has an athletic friend to help her out.

I often wonder about that day. Was it all worth it? Why did it have to happen? Was it worth all the agony I endured to this day to have those brief years of joy?

Although still a novice flier, Twilight has begun to feel comfortable in the sky. But when Rainbow Dash asks her to enter a flying pairs competition with her, she believes that her inexperience will only hinder her friend's chances of winning. Twilight's misgivings deepen when Rainbow learns that two old rivals will be competing as well, and her desire to win begins to drive a wedge between them. Full of doubt of her own abilities and anger toward Rainbow's fierce ambition to beat the others, will Twilight overcome these obstacles and compete with her friend, or will she quit the competition altogether?

Bigger than a mountain, fire hotter than Celestia's sun, teeth sharper than surgical blades, and a memory longer than history, one-eyed Barrakan the White was a dragon whom legend says made all of Canterlot tremble at his might. At least he's just a story, right?
