Rainbow Dash learns responsibility the hard way after one night with Soarin' changes her life forever.

An ongoing series of slice-of-life snapshots, family friendly - or rather, clop-free.

Velocity - Rainbow Dash is never late. Today she's very late, in a way she never expected.

Home Away - Dash takes flight with the one pony who means means more to her than any other.

Skywriting - Sometimes you just can't speak all the words you need to say, and a letter is all you can manage.

We Few, We Happy Few - Don't ever tell this filly what she can and can't be.

Somewhere to Be - A storm rolls out of the Everfree on Dash's day off. She's got a game to get to, and there's no way this'll slow her down!

All chapters originally written as separate entries for flash-fic blog Thirty Minute Ponies (TMP). I highly recommend a visit to TMP if you're looking for some of the best 1000-word gems in pony fiction. Many thanks to TMP for inspiring me to write!

NOTE: Not related to the Luna's Librarian / Rustic & Romantic / If the Flight Suit Fits continuity. Originally this was an Alternate Universe fork from Egghead and Featherbrain, but is now a separate story entirely.

Sometimes it takes a swift, metaphorical kick to the head to realize that what is painfully obvious.

Twilight has always been a tame, bookish pony who preferred the calmness of an afternoon inside with the story of her choice to the chaos of any kind of party or night out. Unfortunately for the violet pony, her new title and appendages have ruined any chance of keeping her life the way it was. Further complicating things, as Twilight struggles to accept her new life and responsibilities, she comes across a chance encounter with a rip in reality. This sends her tumbling into an strange adventure and realization that, maybe, things change for a reason.

Twilight wakes from sleep, but did the dream ever end?

Twilight has something she needs to tell Princess Celestia--something that means a chance at getting everything she's ever wanted, or of losing everything she's ever had.

Something so terrifying that the only way she could say it was in a letter...and so wonderful that she had the courage to send it.

(Thanks to Cenit V for the cover!)

Princess Celestia has been the sole ruler of Equestria for more than a thousand years. Over those years, she gradually drifted apart from those ponies over whom she watched tirelessly. But now that Princess Luna has returned, and has begun to share the burdens of rule that Celestia has had to carry alone for so long, she is forced to come to grips with the isolation and loneliness that she has brought upon herself. Having kept herself distant from her subjects for so long, she turns to the pony whose friendly nature has already helped to save Equestria on multiple occasions for help and comfort.

Discord erased all memory of Twilight from Celestia, now it's time to say goodbye.

Dear Princess Celestia,

I'm sorry I haven't written in a while. Things seem to be falling through the cracks lately. Spike thinks I should go see the doctor, but...

Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie find each other in the midst of a raging storm. Through the rain, wind, lightning, and whatever else a storm can throw at a pony, they just might find something new in the process.

Based off of the song "The Lightning Strike" by Snow Patrol.

After a chilly night, Rarity catches a cold, so Applejack goes down to take care of her until she gets better. What better than a yummy, hot tomato soup? Maybe a lullaby and a belly rub.

Rainbow Dash isn't having a very good day. First she was in some dark place, then it turns out she's in the hospital. Oh, and she's apparently blind now.

Eventual Twidash!
