Rainbow Dash bumps into Soarin' during a flight session, but the Wonderbolt asks for her help. The two pegasi end up on an adventure to retrieve an object for Spitfire at the edge of Equestria, and on the way find out more about themselves and each other.

Thanks to StormbadgerXIII for helping me expand the description. Also, I drew the cover image.

This is a parody of "The Count of Monte Cristo" starring Spike the Dragon. When the dragon is presumed dead by his friends, but is in reality given a chance at a brand new exciting life, a whole new world opens up for the dragon. With a new name, and wealth beyond measure, Spike hopes to get revenge on those who wronged him, and become worthy of the love of his life, Rarity.

Author's Note: I LOVED "The Count of Monte Cristo"! It was just incredible! You have to read the book, or at least see a movie. Of course, this isn't an exact parody (No prison, no treasure hunt, and a few other things), also, I don't exactly remember the book word for word anyway. However, I do believe that you will enjoy this fan fic, whether you like or have read the book or not.

After discovering reading is pretty cool during a hospital stay, Rainbow Dash has a third random encounter with one of the Wonderbolts she doesn't know everything about: Soarin'. A series of comedic adventures leaves him owing her big time yet again, leading to a friendship that turns out to be one heck of a wild ride and a whole lot more.

Done reading? See Storm from Afar.

Really! It's not! An epic space battle between Zim and Dib leaves them both (plus GIR and Gaz) stranded on a strangely Earth-like alien planet on the other side of a wormhole. Now Invader and Defender of Earth must work together with the strange natives to get back to their precious Earth, or will they be too busy being at each other's throats? Or will that just be Gaz at Dib's throat? At least this wormhole didn't have a walnut-eating moose... or does it?

Twilight Sparkle has learned an advanced spell that took weeks to master and finally puts it to the test. It works like a DNA paternity test and tries it on her friends to demonstrate. But then she tries it on her family, she discovers something unpleasant. Will this be kept a secret or will it tear Equestria apart into chaos? Better yet will it ruin her sanity?

When Pinkie Pie starts to become a tad overweight, and all her friends notice it, she is forced to do one thing she has never done in her whole life.... She has to go on a diet. It's just a small sweets diet. She can go a couple weeks without her regular amount of sugar.... Right? Actually, no. She can't. But she can try.

Four astronauts leave Earth to be the first humans to ever colonize a planet. However, a failure in their ship makes them crash in an unknown planet, with no chance to escape or to populate it. How will they fare in this strangely similar land? How will ponies react to these new intelligent beings?

The Wonderbolts are visiting Ponyville for the week. They are going to be performing their usual stunts, tricks and racing in the local area, bringing their usual events in Canterlot to Ponyville.

But Soarin, one of the Wonderbolts, is searching for a mare he described as "cute" in a photo he had taken at the royal wedding in Canterlot. Although this search doesn't get in the way of his way of life as a Wonderbolt, he feels as if he should find that mare.

Meanwhile, Rainbow Dash had been training hard to impress the Wonderbolts on their visit but feels as if her skills don't meet the Wonderbolts standards.

Will Soarin and Rainbow Dash achieve their goals?

I've spent the majority of my life tilling the desolate land in which I live. Every day, I wake up to move useless rocks from one location to another. This is an archaic line of work that my family has clung to for generations. It is a dull, grey existence.

Today, I have woken up in a strange room, lying in a bed that isn't mine. I'm surrounded by five mares whom I've never seen in my life. They claim to be my friends, and expect me to bring joy to the hearts of everypony.

Joy? I don't think I've ever experienced this for myself, so how am I supposed to thrust it upon others?

My name is Pinkamena Diane Pie, and I'm not sure what to make of this situation.

Fluttershy is content. Her life is swell, her friends are well, the animals around her were thriving: what could go wrong? Well, a popular little game may just want to intervene with her life...

I'm back! The laptop is working, I'm back from holiday, I can write again!
Just thought of this idea whilst on holiday. Constructive criticism is welcome, and thanks to everyone who reads this!
