Sidenote: I appreciate the criticism I received prior to writing this from the people who said that it "couldn't be done", and that "Rarity and Spike being together just won't work out". If it weren't for you guys, I would never had been inspired to prove you wrong by creating this. Thanks! :D

Anyway, this is a cute romance fiction about my favorite - and really, the only normal - couple in Ponyville. Enjoy!

FriendLiner: a train that travels through time. Will its next destination be the past... or the future?

Spike the dragon couldn't help but notice strange changes in his life ever since his disastrous birthday. The once warm Twilight Sparkle has gone cold and her five friends are missing! To take his mind off of his issues, though, Ponyville is now under attack by strange future beings called Hobblers, and, thanks to a possession incident, an odd belt, and a pass given to him by a pony from a doomed future who happens to be a passenger on a time-traveling train, it's up to him to save the day!

Well, it's not all on his shoulders, anyway. The party-loving nutcase that possessed him, it turns out, activates strange powers from the belt, and together, their bond creates the powerful "Friend-O"! With extra help from the future pony, Eve Stropper, and the crew of the FriendLiner, Spike and the ensemble that he attracts are Equestria's hero, the mysterious Masked Rider!

Friendship is Magic has, at this point, been crossed over with everything and its mother, so it didn't surprise me to learn that someone had already beaten me to the punch of crossing over FIM with Kamen Rider Den-O. Though, I guess since the other one I found crosses the Den-O characters instead of the "platform" or so, I guess it can't hurt to continue writing my version anyway.

It's springtime in Equestria and Twilight Sparkle and Princess Celestia find themselves out of sorts despite the gorgeous weather. Luna and Rarity both think they know the reason behind their moodiness and set out to make sure that true love blossoms - but will an unfortunate misunderstanding keep the two star-crossed lovers apart forever?

Twilight is granted the opportunity to show off some of her smarts by giving a presentation at the Canterlot School of Magic about life in and around Equestria. However, while she practices one of the transformation spells she got in a book from Zecora, she finds out a lot about the spell, but much, much more about her little dragon assistant.

This story is a sequel to Paradiso

Vinyl Scratch a successful Unicorn DJ from Manehattan, however this hasn't always been the case. Vinyl laments on her past, while in the mean time, a Dark force begins to move in the heart of Everfree Forest.

After a discussion with Rose and Daisy, Lily's anxiety becomes the subject of discussion, and her two friends convince her to take medication for her anxiousness. In a fashion befitting her anxiety, she worries unduly and overdoses, and experiences a variety of hallucinations as a result, leading her on a bizarre journey through Ponyville.

When strange ponies from another world suddenly pony-nap all her friends, Pinkie Pie must find a way to defeat their master all on her own. Blamed for the crime herself, she has no help from Celestia and just about every pony in Ponyville is convinced that she's finally cracked. Who can she possibly find to fill in for the other Elements of Harmony, and help her defeat the ancient evil behind it all?

This story occurs after Discord is defeated but prior to the rest of season 2. Story is featured on Equestria Daily and is now officially a 'six star' rated story! Full size image can also be found there.
