Barbelle, the biggest little pony in Ponyville, thinks she's got her life all figured out. But meeting Twilight Sparkle, the new unicorn in town, makes her start wondering.

I began this Ponyfic in February 2011 on the day after my 46th birthday, finished the three acts of it at the end of that month, and submitted it to Sethisto at Equestria Daily--this was back in the days before pre-readers. He said he liked it, but since he got grumbles every time he posted a story starring an OC Pony, he was gonna pass. So I figured I'd try a story focusing on the actual characters next and began work on Half the Day is Night.

Still, this was my first Pony story, so I figured I should post it first now that I've managed to get myself an account here. And maybe it'll goad me into gathering my notes to write up Belle's next adventure...

(2nd Person Story starring lifeguard "You" and Applejack)

Being a well respected life-guard on a tropical island sounds like it’d be the best job ever, but you find your life becoming quite complicated when you become fast friends with a tourist and fall head over heels for her. Can you find the courage to confess your love to her? And will she even accept your feelings? And what will your friends say when you tell them you’re in love with another mare?

Author's Note: Oh yes, I went there. This is a female perspective fic. I recall someone saying in the SFG Thread: "Why are all these stories in a male perspective? It's not like I mind, it's just I'd like to see some female perspective fics out there."

So, as the ever exploring type, I decided "Why the heck not?" and made this fic from a female point of view. And honestly, I like how it turned out. I do hope you enjoy it.

Side Note: I talked with Coffeebean while writing this fic and actually asked him to write a part for this fic. A more... Hot and heavy part. It's not straight up clop-fic, but I wouldn't say it's safe for work, either. So, for lack of a better idea, I'm going to include a link to it here as google document that you may view. It takes place in-between parts four and five.

Pinkie Pie is a BIG eater, so what happens when she let's this get the best of her? Injured friends and broken floors, that's what!

I mostly wrote this story as a bit of fun. Having been rejected from Equestria Daily, I'm having trouble finding the will to finish it, but I thought I'd share it here! So read and enjoy!

All comments welcome!

Comments and reviews very welcome.

A secret revealed tears apart Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon.
Can old enemies and rivals learn to forgive?
Will new friends fill the void left behind?
Will the Troublesome Twosome find a way to repair their bond, or will it be some other pony that will fill the holes in their hearts, with friendship, or even love?

(2nd Person Sensual Fic starring Doctor Sigmund "You" and Rarity)

Rarity finally admits her problem and looks for some professional help and finds it in you, Ponyville's resident psychiatrist. The more you explore her problems and her mind, you can't help but find a place for this unicorn in your heart. But is it wise to let your emotions cloud your psychiatric judgement? Just how far will you go to make her happy?

This fic turned out to be much longer than the others and has some pretty large parts in it. And that's how I started writing even longer fics, which is great, isn't it?

And a side note: Did a little crossover collab with Coffeebean and his fic "Drunken Lullabies". You should check it out, if you haven't already.
