For Rarity, she has the holiday of her dreams to a beautiful spa, but a dark secret must be revealed to the one who loves her the most. How long will it be before the nightmares return, and how long will the good times last?

(After some mass amounts of writing and planning, the story will be extended, so the third chapter will be a two parter, rather than the second chapter.

The first episode of The Gems Trilogy.

Sweetie Belle attempts to deal with the realization that she's developed a crush on Spike. Meanwhile, Spike's own feelings are in flux.

Featherweight has had a crush on Scootaloo for as long as he can remember, but he never did anything about it. That is, until the fateful day where he is given the challenge to kiss her before nightfall.

When your life is as dull a gray as the world that surrounds you, the mundanities can make it all seem meaningless. Sometimes all we need is a little color -- or six -- to reintroduce us to what truly makes life worth living.

It's been almost three months since Spike was cured of his werepony curse and things seem to be getting back to normal. Unbeknownst to him, however, Rarity has a surprise that will test his commitment to their relationship.
