The truth isn't always easy or pleasant. Something Twilight Sparkle has to learn. After she fixed her friends cutie marks with help of the element she has to learn that lesson.

//This short story is based on a theory I had a while back. Don't take it to serious, but I think some things make more sense this way.

Four years ago Vinyl and Octavia broke up. It was messy, painful and left scars on both of them. Four years on, now one of the most successful DJs in Equestria’s history, Vinyl receives news that Octavia has been in a terrible accident. The doctors say she may never recover from her coma, but Vinyl refuses to believe them. There are all sorts of stories about coma patients who are brought back by the voice of someone they care about, right? No matter what anypony else says, offers or threatens, and no matter what it costs her personally or professionally, she is determined to stay by Octavia’s side and do all she can to wake her.

But four years is a long time, and no matter how many fairytales end with the princess waking up, real life owes no-one a happy ending.

It's a simple agreement: Rarity will take Applejack to a proper gallery opening, and in turn, Applejack gets to take Rarity to something called a 'hootenanny.' What could possibly go wrong?

Sequel to Music Makes The Heart.

With a new job comes new challenges. Octavia and Vinyl's relationship continues to grow, but can they handle what life will throw at them?

As much fun as her friends can be, Rarity definitely regrets this slumber party. If only she could go to sleep. Unfortunately for her, one earth pony may not give her that option.

Zecora comes to Rarity asking for a dress, as she's been invited to the Grand Galloping Gala. Rarity is thrilled and more than willing to help, especially after Zecora confesses that she has a new coltfriend. The problem is that the stallion in question isn't really the best choice...

(Contains some RariJack, so apologies in advance if you aren't fond of that pairing.)

It's Father's Day, but one certain Element of Honesty is alone, so Rarity, being the generous mare she is, offers to let Applejack come with her and Magnum to Ponyville's finest restaurant. However, when Rarity sends the letter to her father explaining, a horrible misconception is made: Magnum believes that Applejack is his daughter's marefriend, here to have him approve of his daughter's choice in love.

Rarity is panicked.

Applejack thinks it's hilarious.

Sequel: Clear

Twilight Sparkle is pregnant - and nopony is more surprised than she is. Confronted with the overwhelming responsibility of motherhood, the young mare has to decide whether she is truly up to the task of being a single parent. For a pony who has proven her dedication, intelligence, and strength of character countless times, armed with the bonds of friendship and love, it shouldn't be a difficult choice.

But, as with everything Twilight has done in her life, the circumstances and decisions she must manage are anything but simple.

Because sometimes we can't get enough of what hurts us the most.

Rated "Everyone" because EVERYONE is guilty of this at some point or another. (O_o)

Everyone knows that two mares can't have a foal. . . unless their best friend is one of the greatest magical minds in Equestria.

Applejack and Rainbow Dash went to Twilight Sparkle with a simple question: Could she make a spell that would allow them to have a foal together? After a year of magical research, Twilight thinks that she's done just that. But the spell is not without potential side effects, and AJ and Dash have to decide if they're ready to be part of a magical experiment that could give them a foal of their own, or cost Applejack her life.
