"I've missed you around here, Twilight."

It's springtime in Equestria and Twilight Sparkle and Princess Celestia find themselves out of sorts despite the gorgeous weather. Luna and Rarity both think they know the reason behind their moodiness and set out to make sure that true love blossoms - but will an unfortunate misunderstanding keep the two star-crossed lovers apart forever?

[Note: this story contains three drastically different parts/arcs.]

In an alternate, human Equestria, one's Clan determines everything. Until Princesses Celestia and Luna enact the Harmony Initiative, a law that establishes integration. The first experiment is Ponyville High School, where members of all Clans are selected to attend. But the Initiative is not exactly popular--for students, parents or the Clanleaders. As tensions rise, Ponyville's melting pot begins to boil over. Can a group of six high school students from radically different backgrounds keep civil war from breaking out?

Featherweight has had a crush on Scootaloo for as long as he can remember, but he never did anything about it. That is, until the fateful day where he is given the challenge to kiss her before nightfall.

Twilight Sparkle isn�t dead.

But she's not exactly alive either, and there�s only one pony who can see her, can hear her, can prove that Twilight still exists. Unfortunately for Twilight, or perhaps fortunately, that pony is a certain pink baker and party planner.

Rainbow Dash finally did it! A sonic rainboom on command! Except she also managed to break every window in Applejack's farmhouse in the process. Now she has to pay for each one, and with her wages from managing the weather not nearly enough to cover the damage, she has to work on Applejack's farm for two whole weeks!
Talk about cruel and unusual punishment. Still, maybe it wouldn't be all bad. At least she would get to hang out with her friend AJ right? Wrong.
