A changeling sets up a secret shop inside of Ponyville. He can be anyone you want him to be. The crush you wished felt the same way about you. The boss you want to just scream at. The parent you hoped would return someday. The friend that's now your enemy.

He can be anyone you want him to be. Just don't ask him to be himself.

Now with a youtube reading. HERE!

It's taken months to get to this moment. Months of planning, testing, and tearing her mane out. This is one time she can't afford to fail.

Today is the day. It's cold, her nose is runny, and she's scared out of her wits, but she's finally going to do it. She's finally going to tell the Princess how she feels.

"Take my hand, Twilight," Sunset Shimmer once said, "Let me show you there's another way."

It's been three weeks since Twilight Sparkle joined her new friends at Canterlot High, and she really really really wants to hold hands with Sunset Shimmer again.

There was no denying that Rainbow Dash and Lightning Dust made the best middle school badminton team, so it surprises no one when they decide to switch gears to volleyball. But with tensions between them already at its peak, an incident at their new high school's girls volleyball tryouts gets them both removed from being able to play on the team. In order to claim back their stolen prides, the girls swear to beat each other at the beach volleyball doubles tournament at the end of the school year.
There's just one problem: Rainbow Dash needs a partner.
Enter Applejack, a hardworking farmer with natural athleticism that could prove very useful in a volleyball game. But with her family dangerously close to losing their apple farm to a pair of flashy supermarket-owning brothers, will she be able to take enough time off to play? And if so, will Rainbow Dash and Applejack be able to cooperate as a team long enough to pull off a win against Lightning Dust?

WARNING: Some AppleDash inferences. If you don't like the pairing, don't read stuff containing it. But there isn't that much and the story's not really about romance anyway. I guess that I just really wanted to write something about Applejack and Rainbow Dash working together instead of competing... They would be such a great team...

**THIS TAKES PLACE IN THE SAME UNIVERSE AS THE EQUESTRIA GIRLS MOVIE** (Just a few years earlier before the whole plot of the movie happened and at this time, Sunset Shimmer doesn't have any power over her classmates yet.)

When Applejack starts dating an old pegasus friend, she thought the worst part would be making time in her busy schedule for romance. She didn't expect a whole truckload of unusual complications.

Complications like splinters. A hostile home environment. Being confused for an egg. A book that contains the secrets of the universe, and a theory about a rubber band.

Some ponies just have to worry about their jobs and who did the laundry. Applejack has to worry about her species tearing her love life apart. Pegasi are weirder than she thought, and the universe isn't making it any easier.

Rainbow Dash doesn't do sappy. Mushy, cute, sweet, and romantic are also totally out. So of course she has a crush on an awesome pony who's none of those things: Applejack. Now she just has to find a not-mushy, not-romantic, totally cool way to tell her.

A trip for two to an island paradise seems like the perfect time. Swimming, volleyball, jet skiing, snorkeling-- plenty of chances for a really awesome moment. But when her dumb feelings only let her see sappy romance at every turn, her nightmares might just ruin everything.

This story is a sequel to Swear On Camembert

Cheese Sandwich is having a hard time distinguishing between the Cheesy Sense sending him to throw parties all across Equestria, and some other mysterious force that keeps pulling him back towards Ponyville and its pink Permanent Party Pony. He's fighting it as hard as possible, but when his career literally bombs, he may have no choice but to give up---or give in. Either way, he has to ask Pinkie Pie for her help.

Sometimes you have to laugh, so you don't have to cry. Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich may have more in common than they thought, including Ponyacci, the greatest clown in all of Equestria. But when Pinkie Sense and Cheesy Sense combine, it sends them on a journey to throw the worst party of their lives.

One week after the Friendship Games, a small group of Crystal Prep Academy's Shadowbolts meet at Sugarcube Corner for the first, and possibly, last time.

What they did today, they did with no regrets—and their actions will change the course of the Canterlot High/Crystal Prep rivalry forever.
