Applejack. For too long, that has been the only thought in Rarity's head. Finally, she will go all out to find out if the mare she cares for could ever return her feelings. The stage is set. The night is planned. Even the cutie mark crusaders will not be able to mess this up for her.
...Or so she thinks.
When Scootaloo is injured, and a certain secret revealed, the element of generosity is put to the test.

It seemed so simple. An afternoon out with friends and the ones you love, but life is rarely predictable. It only takes a moment to throw someone's life upside down.

Octavia and her orchestra have been hired to play for events on the maiden voyage of Royal Equestrian's newest flagship, the ESS Harmonious. Unfortunately, due to some administrative errors, she's rooming with another mare hired for entertainment purposes - one Miss Vinyl Scratch. However, after some initial misunderstandings, the pair seem to be starting off a good friendship.

That changes in a moment when Vinyl wakes up in the middle of the night, the world sideways and water covering the floor.

At long last, the wedding bells ring for Applejack and Fluttershy. Everypony does their utmost to try to make it the best wedding ever, but as the pair discovers, it quickly becomes a question of getting married despite, rather than because of this.

This story is a standalone, but is set after the events of Where Earth Meets Sky and Where Your Heart Is.

(Pinkie Pie & Apple Bloom, Friendship) Pinkie Pie nearly dies in the middle of a return trip through a snowstorm in the aftermath of a bitter family reunion. Apple Bloom is thrown into a depression after a morale-shattering revelation concerning the nature of Cutie Marks. Both of them end up using their respective stories to share a moment between each other while Pinkie Pie is recovering from hypothermia.

Twilight loses her magical powers due to a reason unknown to her. She soon begins to question what she should do for the remainder of her life. Meanwhile, Trixie hears of this news, and with the intention on getting revenge on Twilight, decides to pay the librarian a visit.

I woke up in the hospital. I don’t recall how I got here. I don’t recognize the mare who says she’s family. I don’t even remember my own name.

So what kind of pony will I become?

Words could not do justice to the sheer joy that Rainbow Dash and her friends felt on the day she had finally gotten a letter of approval from the Wonderbolt Academy. It was a dream come true. Congratulations echoed loudly from Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Applejack and Twilight Sparkle almost harmoniously with one another. What made it all the better was the smiling glance Dash had shared with Rarity at that moment from across all of her other ecstatic friends.

Neither of them needed to say a word. It was a moment of mutual acknowledgment that only the two most ambitious ponies amongst the six of them could share. There was more to it, however. Dash could never forget what Rarity had done for her that one night, which now seems so long ago. In hindsight, it was a little embarrassing to think about, but she'd never let go of that memory for anything. Who could forget when the least likely among your friends becomes not only your driving source of inspiration, but somepony with whom you could share a connection altogether deeper?

Left only with a promise to keep in touch, Rainbow Dash struggles to convey her feelings, and to figure out what the words were that she couldn't say on that last snowy night at the train station before Twilight left. As everyone slowly drifts apart, Dash will have to put in the effort if she wants to keep her friends together.

"YOU ARE NOT THE REAL PINKIE PIE!"
"You probably shouldn't even exist."
"You're only a clone, you don't HAVE any feelings!"

Who was she to believe? She was barely a day old, and already she'd seen the disappearance of her mirror images, all but her. Was she just a clone? A disposable unfeeling analog?
What would happen if she became her own pony? If she became real?

Is it possible for one of the Pinkie's, the only copy left behind, to develop? To become an entirely different pony to the one that she was modelled after?

Oh, and before I forget, thanks to the amazing WerewolfNobody for the (At one point) cover art!
