"Is this some kind of cruel joke?"

That's what Rainbow Dash is thinking as she does one of the most outlandish dares she's ever been forced to do.

What starts out as a seemingly innocent dare contest between her and Pinkie Pie soon decends into crazy territory.

And in what can only be considered a stroke of pure deviousness Pinkie Pie comes up with the ultimate dare. Rainbow Dash must dress up like a foal for an entire day.

Sounds easy right, WRONG!

Rainbow Dash can't take anything off, not even the diaper or she forfits the dare.

Still don't see what the hard part is, well unknown to either Rainbow Dash or Pinkie Pie Applejack overhears their conversation, and since she's mad with RD for slacking off when she promised to help AJ figures now's the perfect chance to get revenge.

Can Rainbow Dash survive Applejack's "war" against her and what will she do when she gets that feeling that she was really hoping she wouldn't get?

This fic is inspired by "Dash's Little Problem" by Nunchucks.

It's always been a dream of Rarity's to get invited to the Regal Customs Ball, now that the time has come her only available escort is Applejack. After some prominent persuasion and training, Applejack and Rarity become the Belles of the Ball, but once it's over, Applejack isn't so sure that she wants to go back to being the country mare she once was.

Pre-canon. During their time in Flight School, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash are friends - at least until the new transfer student, Gilda, monopolises Rainbow Dash's time. Fluttershy is genuinely happy Rainbow Dash has someone she can practise flying with properly, but life can get lonely for a pegasus who just wants to go down to the ground for some peace.

After an incident with a pair of bullies, Fluttershy does something drastic to her appearance and Rainbow Dash must return to her role as friend and reforge the bonds between them that have grown so thin.

Now with a dramatic reading by DaBoy2187!

Astro Brony, Gina M and CassyPony did a full cast reading too!

When Rainbow Dash finally builds up the courage to ask Fluttershy out; and surprisingly, when Fluttershy says yes; the both of them plan for nothing but a simple, quiet date; no one else...

However, when Pinkie Pie finds out about it, she has other plans...

(WARNING: The usual Pinkie Pie WTF'ness will ensue.)

Shining Armor does everything a good big brother should do for their little sister. Every night he checks under the bed for the boogeypony, reads her a bedtime story, comforts her when she has a bad dream and, of course, teases her about her little night-time "accidents".

He soon discovers that the last one revokes his "big brother" status.

Rainbow Blitz falls for the quiet and bookish Dusk Shine, but nothing goes as planned for the poor pegasus, and he becomes a victim of intolerance and prejudice, with betrayal lurking around every corner. In the meantime, Dusk doesn't know what he should do, this is something he has to work out by himself.

When Twilight receives tickets to see one of Equestria's greatest band, she and some of her friends decide to go see them.

Warning: lots and lots and LOTS of Beatles references. (Good luck spotting them all.)

There was only one explanation. For all of it. All of the strange, erratic behavior. Her irrational fear of the sun. Her nocturnal habits of locking herself in in the dark and closing all the blinds. Wearing her sunglasses everywhere, even inside! It was time to invest in some silver, garlic, and a wooden stake.
