1st chapter is Spike's POV
2nd chapter is Sweetie Belle's POV

Twilight Sparkle has been working herself into such a state of fatigue that Celestia has ordered her to take a five month vacation from her studies and has given Spike the assignment to ensure that Twilight relaxes. A lot can happen in five months.
This story, though labeled as number five, was actually the first MLP story I wrote. I greatly enjoyed writing it and I hope you enjoy it too.

Working his tail off, Spike gets the feeling things are becoming too much for him. However, will Pinkie Pie be able to turn his frown upside down?

Spike decides he needs a break from the awkward situation Twilight and Trixie have created at the library. To do so, he opts to spend the night with one of his good friends, Apple Bloom.

This story is a very short, one-shot side-story to Something About Her, taking place the same night as Trixie's first Ponyville performance. It isn't required reading, but it may enhance this story.

Celestia invites Spike and Rarity, as well as Rarity's family, to the castle for Harvest Feast. Just like most family get togethers though, it can only end in hilarity and embarrassment. Especially when the two lovebirds have been going out for less than a year.

Thanks to Imaginary Valued for some very impressive speed editing.

Like every fresh young couple, shiny and new, Spike and Rarity's maiden voyage into the depths of romantic intimasea is met with rough tides. Naturally, it's all Twilight's fault.

Spike asks a surprisingly deep question to a not so deep pony. Not really able to explain, she finds that some things can't be said, only felt...
