It's the weekend after the Crusaders have received their Cutie Marks, and things have changed forever. Except... why is Diamond Tiara still being so cruel? Even WORSE than the way she was before. They thought she'd reformed...

The answer to that question may surprise you. Or it won't. You visionary genius, you.

After the events of "Crusaders of the Lost Mark". Diamond Tiara has changed her life and she's finally ready to apologize to everypony, including the Cutie Mark Crusaders.

Diamond Tiara has changed. After a few years of learning about friendship, she realizes another step in her journey needs to be making amends. Today, she’s making amends to Granny Smith for events that took place in the episode Family Appreciation Day.

On the seventh night of the seventh month, instead of attending a busy festival with their friends, Sunburst and Starlight decide to hide away on the castle's roof to watch the fireworks from a distance and the constellations with a telescope. With the promise of clear skies, the only constellations they are most excited to see are two particular stars named after a peculiar love story.

After standing up against her mother, Diamond Tiara has finally turned over a new leaf. Most of the class has forgiven her for her past behavior, and things seem to be moving on towards a brighter future.

However, she still feels guilty about the way she treated three particular ponies.

It's time to apologize.

Fourteen year old Spike has asked Applebloom on a date. The day? Hearth's Warming Eve of course!

I'm not really proud of this one, I just wanted to thank the Bronies for one year of pony fun, so I did nothing but a simple one-shot of my favorite ship. Whether you guys liked it or not, it's my little gift to you all. Happy early Hearth's Warming Eve!

Apple Bloom has a very important classroom duty, at least according to Miss Cheerilee.

AU. Apple Bloom drowns on a school trip and Big Mac can’t let go

Very sad story since Apple Bloom does die. Tw death of a child

This story is a sequel to The night of the outcasts

It's been some time after the conversation Spike and Apple Bloom's conversation, and they decide to go on a date not minding the attention they would have from everypony around them. Their date goes well until they get interrupted by some ponies that they weren't expecting, Apple Bloom running towards her new house crying afterwards. Let's hope the dragon can cheer her up...

This is a sequel to 'the night of the outcasts', you don't need to read it, but I recommend that you give it a try, that way the events here will make more sense.
RATED TEEN JUST FOR SOME DARK PARTS IN THE SECOND ENDING, EVERYTHING ELSE IS PRETTY MUCH FOR EVERYONE (or at least I'd like to think so).
Still need to work on my grammar and orthography.
Tagged AU for obvious reasons.
Spike has wings in this story, even if he doesn't use them.
In case you want to read the prequel, here's a link to it. If it doesn't work, I'll figure out a way to let you read it.

Diamond Tiara is an Earth pony. One that can't take care of a flower, apparently.
