Rarity has estranged herself from her friends for nearly 3 years. The most anypony ever hears from her is a Hearth's Warming Eve card and her name all over designer clothing from Manehattan. Spike travels to Manehattan in search of his beloved friend. What secrets are being hidden behind all the tall skyscrapers and bustle of "The Big Apple?"

Thank you, psp7master, for the conversation that sparked this idea, nearly a month ago.

Thank you, starlight blaze, for helping to refine my ideas into a proper story.

This story was also partly inspired by the lyrics to this song

In his quest to become a Wonderbolt, Soarin' finds himself saddled with the responsibility of being the Element of Loyalty and trying to keep up with the newest Wonderbolt, Rainbow Dash.

“Okay, how about you come with me,” Soarin said hastily, not sure if he was motivated by a strange desire to save the castle’s glassware or by the chance to spend some more time with the borderline insane yet beautiful mare next to him.
“Where?” She asked, looking up from the glass she had sentenced to ‘Smashy-time.’

Rainbow Dash learns why it's good fun to get drunk at your best friend's brother's wedding. Good company doesn't hurt either.

Princess Cadance noticed how lonely Princess Celestia seemed on Hearts and Hooves Day.

She decided to send a small love spell her way, as motivation to help her find a special somepony, even if it's just for a day.

Cadance immediately regretted it upon finding out who it was.

Growing up is never easy, especially when you're a dragon among ponies and the closest thing you've ever had to a parent is a slightly scatterbrained young unicorn. When tempers boil over, can this makeshift family pull itself back together?

When Fluttershy finds a page of a clopfic containing Spike and a certain white mare, the page finds itself in the hooves of many ponies it's been kept from. All of the clues seem to point to Spike, but is there more to this page than meets the eye?

Author's Note: Contains lines of some saucy material. Nothing to clop over, but it refers heavily to something you'd find in a clopfic. Don't read if you're offended by this sort of thing. I only rated it teen because it's pretty tame and there's very little of it, but if it's too much I can rate it mature and add up a "sex" tag.

Any constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated!

Twilight finds her mind drifting off more and more into thoughts regarding the newly-met amateur astronomer, Comet Tail. She realizes these are thoughts of not only infatuation, but thoughts that tell her she saw him before. But where?
Eventually, she finds out...and she's not happy with who she remembers him as. Can he prove his sincerity? Maybe Twilight's B.B.B.F.F. can clear things up? Or will Twilight let this comet pass without so much as a glance on her part?
Written in response to (what I felt was) a severe lack of TwilightxCometTail works, as well as one comic that posits a theory on how Shining Armor got his cutie mark: http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/128/b/3/summer_skies_by_fongsaunder-d4yy4mt.jpg
Please enjoy and critique!

I had a story. It was a great story. Then Twilight Sparkle decided to go ruin that. Why did she have to hear me? Why couldn't she just assume she was going crazy like any other pony would have?

Wait, I'm getting ahead of myself. I, the mighty writer of this very story, was narrating as usual when Twilight Sparkle happened to hear me. Now, it would be in bad storytelling form to spoil what happens next, but suffice to say, hilarity ensues.

Shining Armor's tale reaches far beyond that of his marriage to Princess Mi Amore Cadenza. His personal journal contains records that span across his childhood, the many years he laid down in service to our nation, and beyond that to his final years.

This is that Journal. This is Shining Armor as he's never been seen before.

Rainbow Dash has finally achieved her dream of joining with the Wonderbolts. But will this turn out to be a dream come true, or a curse? Follow her as she journeys across Cloudsdale and Ponyville in a story of riches, dreams, depression, but above all, love.
