Time is a fickle thing. It never seems to spend much time with you, nor does it seem to depart when you want it to the most.
This story is about an alicorn who has all the time in the world, but desperately wants to give it all away.
Because forever is a long time...

Everyone has an imaginary friend growing up: a stuffed animal, a companion to guard us when the monsters come knocking and the like. We know them and love them; they mean everything to us. But have we ever stopped to ask what we mean to them?

When the light dims and the flame burns out, the magic inside us all will forever endure.

How did Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo meet? Here's my take on it.

Scootaloo doesn't have any friends, and is quite lonely... but one day she sees a cyan pegasus mare with a rainbow colored mane doing tricks. Amazed by the mare's talent and cool demeanor, Scootaloo tries to befriend her... but can't really get through to her. But then Hearts and Hooves Day - a day for ponies to let their friends, family or significant others know how much they mean to each other - arrives, and Scootaloo gets an idea...

Not a shipping fic, although it sort of is in a way. After all, it's about how Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo became friends.

Spike has just woken up from his hundred-year sleep and realized that none of his friends are around anymore. He is deeply stricken with grief. Can a letter from his wife Rarity, gifts from his friends, and a poem from Twilight Sparkle help ease the pain of their loss?

The cover picture was drawn by Azzurgil on deviant art (http://azzurgil.deviantart.com/). I really enjoyed her work because she does a lot of dragon art (which I am a huge fan of). This story was preread by Criticul94 and Taranasaurus0.0. Not only are these guysawesome prereaders, but they are great writers. Check their stuff out!

When I was writing this story I didn't mean for it to take the turn that it did, however a personal event that happened in my life made this what it is. I hope those that read it enjoy it.

A mysterious creature enters Ponyville, bringing with him nothing but misery and hopelessness. Twilight Sparkle needs her friends, but they have been led astray by this newcomer's evil ways. As a cloud of unending darkness looms over the town, Twilight learns that this may only be the beginning of something much worse to come.

Special Thanks to Biglulu for pre-reading! Thanks for sticking with me!

Rainbow Dash is a headstrong, athletic pony who is utterly faithful to her friends and doesn't keep any secrets from them. Or so she pretends. Yet a surprise visit from Twilight Sparkle is about to blow the secret wide open, and the multi-hued pegasus will find out just how strong their friendship is.

Note: This story was written in the week following the airing of "May The Best Pet Win", and well before "Read It and Weep" was even known about. As such it haws since been overtaken by canon, but most folk tend to like it still so I will upload it here so I have a bit of a presence on FIMfiction beyond "lurker #347,921".

This story also includes "The Unrelated Epilogue" which is a mini-story based on a loose bit in the main one that I felt did not stand on its own, but that I wanted up nonetheless. It has Luna, but not RD or TS.

As soon as they became the Cutie Mark Crusaders they knew exactly what their mission was. To get their Cutie Marks, whatever it took. It's what they didn't know that makes all the difference. Can their friendship survive the honest truth?

It's Luna's first morning in Canterlot, and she's having trouble getting sleep. Maybe her sister has something to help...?
