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.

Every pony in Equestria knows the names Octavia Philharmonica and Vinyl Scratch. Every musician in Equestria knows and reveres their talent and most semi-jokingly complain that Octavia and Vinyl's relationship should count as a monopoly on musical talent. Very few know their early story, years ago when Octavia had only just left Canterlot Conservatory and Vinyl was... well, being Vinyl.

Don't get Pinkie Pie wrong; she hates Discord, and didn't mean to set him free...

...Well, it's not that she hates Discord.

She likes him.

...I mean, she likes the chocolate rain he made, but she hates the chaos.

...Um...actually, she doesn't hate the chaos; it's kinda fun really...

...Technically speaking though, she dislikes the chaos, but it's cool to-

...

...

Oh geez, what has she gotten herself into...

A DiscordXPinkie Pie ( DisPie / Pinkord ) fanfiction.

{This story voids the episode of 'Keep Calm and Flutter On'}

A pony is called stubborn when they refuse to change their mind no matter the persuasion against them. A pony is called persistent in hindsight when their refusal turns out to be a wise decision. "Persistence" is nothing more than what they call stubbornness when it turns out to have been for the best all along.

Pinkie Pie and Applejack may or may not be persistent, but they are most definitely stubborn.

~This is my entry for the winner of TAW's contest for rare ships. FimFic needs more ApplePie.

Now EQD Approved!

On the eve of Nightmare Night, Rainbow Dash is finally poised to enact her dastardly, clever and awesome plan. The goal? To scare Pinkie Pie right into her embrace so she can admit that she fancies her.

Saying things do not go according to plan is probably redundant.

After the perfect day with one of her best friends comes to a sudden end, Applejack is left with nothing but questions.
What do you do when somepony likes you, but you don't like them back? And what do you do when that pony is one of your closest friends?

Can things return to before? Or will the proud farmer find her perfect stallion after all?

Set after Season 2

Though the distance between Pinkie Pie and her five closest friends has grown in the half-century since they claimed their Elements, she does what she can to prevent the others from drifting away. It’s small things, mostly: tea with Rarity, a drink with Rainbow Dash, a few words with each of the others. The friendship still makes each day together magic, and she works as hard as ever to bring cheer to all of her friends. When the smiles come less frequently, that just makes each one that much more precious.

On this day, every year, Pinkie sits at the crossroads and waits for her.

Returning home from a busy day, an unexpected sight leads one mare to realize what it truly takes to be a friend, and what it really means to be “genuine”.

Rainbow Dash isn't bitter about the whole Mare-Do-Well incident. Or at least that's what she tells herself. Either way, she's not going to miss this chance for some harmless revenge pranks, and so she constructs a plan to prank all of her best friends, starting with Twilight Sparkle. All Dash needs is a quill and some paper.
