Storms can be both of the physical and mental kinds, both hazardist in their own ways. One ravages the land, destroying homes and property and leaving a physical scar. The other ravages the mind and soul, sometimes leaving scars that can't be seen and hurt just as much.

Rainbow Dash is one of the toughest ponies in Ponyville and she got that title by not letting anyone see her hurt or get hurt. She is unprepared to face the pain of the past when it comes to dealing with the future; it will take the help of a long time friend to be able to move forward.

Scootaloo has been running from her own pain and troubles for a while now, unwilling to let anyone see the hurt she had suffered. Hiding her own tragic past, she lives a life of fear and on the edge of being caught by that painful past. Can her idol and friends help her see that it's ok to feel and stop running?

This takes place in the same 'universe' as the rest of my stories; The Adventures of the Cutie Mark Crusaders - Fillies on a Mission!, A 'Not So Simple' Simple Life , The Party Animal and the Bookworm, and A New Kind of Party. It's not required to read these other stories to understand this one but it would give you the full picture.

Co-made with Gwg, who helps with story, ideas, and editing/reviewing this story.

EDIT(12/2/14): It's come to my attention that some are displeased with the CMC chapters (both as a shipping and as a break in the FlutterDash story). I would like to take this moment to point out how this is a story about FOUR ponies and their growth, not just the older ones. I do understand how this can seem abrupt in change however and shall mark the chapters accordingly.
Next to the chapter numbers, I will place letters showing who the main focus will be on. FS = Fluttershy, RD = Rainbow Dash, SB = Sweetie Belle, and S = Scootaloo. 'All' will be used when all four are in the chapter and have equal importance to it.
Meanwhile, I will make and link blogs that correspond to whatever 'hiccup' readers have mentioned in the comments with reasons of why I wrote/did whatever in the story, so that it doesn't take up lots of room in the story or comments section. If you wish to talk/discuss anything on that particular topic, please see the corresponding blog about it. I do appreciate the comments and opinions though, and will try to respond properly to them.

If you don't like something adn give the story a thumbs down, please explain why with a message or comment.

Retail tends to run a little ahead of the actual calendar: Nightmare Night stock is put out in summer, and Hearth's Warming merchandise is slammed onto the shelves at the instant that's gone. So Invoice, who's temporarily running Barnyard Bargains while Mr. Rich is on vacation, sees absolutely nothing wrong with announcing the first Back To School Sale less than one week into summer.

The kids of Ponyville have a different opinion. And it comes with picket signs.

Now with author Patreon and Ko-Fi pages.

In an attempt to end the constant war between the Cutie Mark Crusaders and their biggest enemies, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, or at the very least tone it down a bit, Cheerilee decides to put the five of them together in the same group for the upcoming camping trip. What's the worst that could possibly happen?

Sweetie Belle and Silver Spoon shipping inside. Thou hath been warned...eth.

This fic was originally inspired by Your Antagonist's 'The Serenade of Silver Belles', which you should all go and read.

Was originally going to be just a SilverBelle fic, but decided to expand it to also include background stories for Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon.

While on her way home from a day with her friends, Apple Bloom runs into Twilight on a trip to Zecora's hut. After insisting to join her, little Apple Bloom gets lost in the woods after chasing a mysterious mare hiding amongst the poison joak. She stumbles upon a town completely isolated within the Ever Free Forest, but something about this town just doesn't feel right...

Discord is beaten, but it's the scars you can't see that take the longest to heal. Let us continue. Every one of the mane six plus one has seems to have worked their way through their problems . . . but there are sure a lot of loose ends to tie-up, and one of these loose threads when pulled just might start unraveling everything!
The turning point between Fluttershy and Fluttercruel starts now.

Laughter, tears, smiles, actions, adventure, frights, darkness and light and heart-warmings ALL await you!

During a cool and calm snowy night in the last week of February, Sunset Shimmer meets a heartbroken 4 year old boy lost in the alley neighborhood. It’s up to her to find out what sisterhood means to her and find a way to help the poor little child. A child who was suffering from the loss of his parents and the unappreciated abusive behavior from his aunt who treated him harshly. An aunt who blamed him for the loss of her dear sister. Can Sunset and her friends give the boy the love, care, respect, and kindness he truly deserves and heal his broken heart?

This story also stars Principal Celestia, Vice-Principal Luna, Dean Cadance, the Shadowbolts, Fleur De Lis, The CMCs, The Dazzlings, and Chrysalis.

I want to thank http://www.fimfiction.net/user/ShutterGuy] for the awesome picture he has done for this story. He captured Toby perfectly, so I give all credit to him and also he is a good writer, check out his story "Human and Pony alike", it is good.

Toby Mason is a six year old human child who wishes for someone to love him. One year earlier, Toby lost his mother Ashley Mason who died in a terrible car crash coming to pick him up from school one day. After Ashley's death, Toby was hard to console, but his father James Mason took the loss the hardest.

Feeling as his life ending along with Ashley's, James began drinking heavily, and in turn started becoming abusive toward Toby. Mostly verbally abusive, he would call Toby weak, pathetic, and blamed Ashley's death on him. Heartbroken by his father's actions, Toby would make a wish upon a star to find a new home, and find a new family who would love him and not be mean to him like his father.

How would the ponies of Equestria, especially The Mane Six react toward finding a lost human child in their land? Will the take him in and treat him as one of their own, or will they fear him and abandon him?

Celestia finds an abandoned baby Pegasus colt and adopts him naming him Zodiac.

This is rated Teen for one bad word Nathan says, luckily, he gets warned.

When Rainbow Dash learns that her number one fan is being abused, how far will she go to keep Scootaloo safe?

Rather than update this box every time I post a new chapter, it's safe to assume that all my chapters are pre-read and edited by:

The Patriot, eggynack, and juter4397

and they're all great, so if you liked this go give them a thumbs up or something.

Woot, I made the featured tab! (For like an hour, but it still counts)

Sequel is here

Now with a Reading

Sweetie Belle burst into the Carousel Boutique in tears because one of her best friends is moving to a foster home in Baltimare. Surely there has to be a pony in Ponyville who can be her foster parent, right?

I'm lucky to have two of my favorite, (and also way underrated authors) on this site pre-reading for me, HMXTaylorLee and DemonBrightSpirit. Their work is seriously excellent and unappreciated so go check them out.

My super awesome cover art was done by hugsforpenguin and commissioned by the aforementioned HMXTaylorLee, so another thanks to him.

This story takes place in an Alternate Universe where Quills and Sofas sells more than two things.
