Twilight decides to go out for a friendly night of drinking with her two friends, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy, to relieve the stress of planning her brother's wedding and defending Canterlot against the changeling invasion, but not all is as it seems.

A letter arrives in the middle of the night, informing the unicorn that one of her two friends has been replaced by a changeling.

[2nd-Person Fic starring you and Fluttershy]

You wanted to live your life simply, make the best for yourself, and maybe make a few friends along the way. But with one backstab too many, you find that last point to be impossible. You make it a point to never put too much faith in your so-called "friends," and you wonder if you'll ever be able to trust again.

Will the kindness of a simple mare be able to turn you around?

Author's Note: I've read a few 2nd-Person fics around, both on here and elsewhere, so I thought "Why not give it a shot?" My first fanfiction, not only about ponies, but about ANY sort of material, so criticism is welcome. If you spot grammar issues or whatever, I'll try and get them all sorted out as well.

Why Fluttershy? Well, she's my favorite, of course. That, and I've yet to develop a story for any other character thus far.

As for content? It won't be incredibly saucy, and some foul language is about the worst I'll throw into this, so don't worry too much about that.

So sit back, and enjoy the ride! I hope you do, anyway....

Seasons one and two are now complete! Season three is being continued in The AppleDash Project: Wherever Life Takes Us.

The AppleDash project is a series of short fics attached to various episodes, detailing a relationship between Rainbow Dash and Applejack behind the scenes. The stories take place sometime during or shortly after the indicated episode.

This is not meant to start shipping wars, argue that AppleDash is canon, or offend other shippers. In fact, if you like the idea I encourage you to try it with other ships!

Teen rating means that there may be talking about sex, and there is one line of dialogue that takes place during intimate relations, but it's warned for and skippable. Nothing sexual is described.

Chapter 1:
A mare tries to find the nerve to confess her love.
She is almost unseen by the public.
Her name isn't ever said... at least she isn't called her name.
Will this great pony notice her?
Is the answer yes?
What'll the answer be when she finally asks?
Will there even be a happy ending?
Chapter 2:
Things seem... Okay.
All they do is eat out and then, they try seeing each-others parents.
Dun dun dunnnn!
Chapter 3:
Foals?! Are you crazy?!
This is a good question:
What would a biological child of two mares be like?
What type of doctor do you call for this miraculous child?
