It was a wild party, and the details of last night are hazy, but it seems Rainbow Dash and Applejack took their relationship to the next level. The small question is; how will their friends deal with it? The big question is; how will they? Image: Sorckylo

Just weeks before an open audition for the Wonderbolts, Rainbow Dash finds herself unable to fly after a failed stunt leaves her injured. Left in the care of her friend Fluttershy, she worries that her dream of joining the Wonderbolts may have been crushed. As the days go on, however, she finds new feelings emerging for the pegasus aiding her recovery.

Rainbow Dash has finally given up on the wonder bolts but once the shadow bolts rise and want her to join will she finally give in. Mystery appears in it. If you don't know who Mystery is I suggest reading my fic mystery but you don't have to.

Love can be where you least expect it. It could be right in front of you, it could just swoop down and catch you by surprise, it could jump at you from your enemy. Or it could be you polar opposite.

Rainbow Dash and Applejack have been friends since they met... or at least after they stopped trying to kill each other. Long story short, they're quite close. Dash wants to be closer.

But, when Rarity comes to Rainbow Dash with a desperate plea, will Dash choose to serve her own desires or be the loyal friend that her element prescribes her to be?

Also, all of the chapter names are quotes from Mark Twain. He's awesome - you should read some of his books when you're done with my stories!

In the clearing of an unnamed forest between Canterlot and Ponyville, the bodies of Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie were found, along with the wreckage of a flying machine. The Royal Guard are claiming it was a tragic accident, but Twilight Sparkle suspects that there is more to it. Will she find an answer to a question that nopony asked, or is she just trying to distract herself from her own grief?

Honestly: Rainbow Dash is really bad at baking, but when it's the only thing she can think of to impress the pony she loves, she turns to a friend for help, and gets more than she bargained for. Originally written for the Equestria Daily Speedfic Competition (it's #78).

Trouble Comes in Threes, or Why Fanfiction Is Bad for You: Pinkie is having a heck of a day. First her friends find out about the stories she's been writing about them. Then three strangely familiar ponies show up at her doorstep, threatening to sue her over those very same stories. Now, Rainbow Dash is nowhere to be found! It's enough to drive a mare crazy!

Twilight Sparkle has been called to Canterlot on royal business: a university's archeology department needs help with a tricky project. All very routine and hum-drum for her... but for Rainbow Dash, it's a chance to get an inside view of the exciting and fast-paced world of ancient history! But how much does she really know about the field? A chance meeting with a larger-than-life pony teaches her about the difference between reality and imagination.

Update: This story is followed by a full-length sequel. Check out The Death of Daring Do: Engine of Eternity"!
