Every time he asks, she refuses - yet she will forever love him, until the stars refuse to sparkle and the sun will no longer shine. How can that be? If she loved him as much as she said, wouldn't she marry him?

...well, perhaps Celestia has a new student in an entirely different lesson.

It seems that Discord will need to learn how to love again.

Because things are the way they are, things will not stay the way they are. -Bertolt Brecht

Pinkie has always assumed life would stay the same in Ponyville. Having adventures and playing around with her friends will always be the most important part of her life. Or will it? When Cheese Sandwich returns looking for help, Pinkie discovers feelings she never knew she had. Now, she is torn between her desire to stay with Cheese and her friends. Just how will she deal with the situation?

[IMPORTANT NOTE]: This was my first story on fimfiction that I kept. It was written a long time ago, and as such is dated. Dated in writing quality, pacing, storytelling, characterization, and the list goes on. This no longer represents my current writing abilities in the least, but I have decided to keep it on the site for historic purposes and the fact that folks still enjoy reading it.

This is a slow-paced story delving into Pinkie and Cheese's life as they come to understand their love for each other and the changes it brings to their lives.

Please note that I started this story before the end of season 4. It is cannon up until about the middle of the season.

I absolutely adore Pinkie and Cheese together, and many other writers have published some great stories. I recommend The Rock Farmer's Daughter and anything by scoots2 (they're amazing). Anywho, I decided to write one of my own, but make it a larger scale, slower paced work than most Cheese-Pie stories. This was my big project, and I've expended a lot of effort making it work. I'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions regarding improvement. A perfectionist is never satisfied.

In every wanderer's life there is that day. That day when they get sick of always moving, sick of their friendships withering away, sick of not having a place they can call home. In the life of Cheese Sandwich, this day has come.

You'd think life would be all caviar and high society luncheons if you were born into Equestria's wealthy elite. But that might not be the case if you also grew up in Ponyville, if your parents named you "Filthy," and if you had a grandfather who had some very odd notions about how rich ponies are supposed to behave.

This is a story about growing up in the time of Applejack's parents' generation. It's also about the Apple and Rich families, what happened with them, and why Diamond Tiara is such a mean little filly—especially to Apple Bloom. But mostly, this story is about learning to be rich, trying to truly love and be loved, and whether it's really possible to have both in this different take on Ponyville's richest citizen.

Twilight Sparkle had been looking forward to a quiet, relaxing day with a friend, and at first it seemed that Fluttershy could provide just that. But when Twilight makes a rather unsettling discovery about the pegasus – and her unusually sanguine appetite – the knowledge proves to be anything but relaxing...

Twilight discovers a book about the history of the Apple family, but it's missing some information. While it tells all about Granny Smith's life, there's no mention of a husband or any children. Twilight goes to Sweet Apple Acres to fill in the gaps and gets a lesson about what it means to be a family.

Compelled by the unholy power of Aunts, young gentlecolt Birdy is sent to Canterlot to bolster Prince Blueblood's reputation and steal a piece of valuable military history.

With the help of his new (and impossibly intelligent) servant, he just might manage to survive the splendors of the capitol city.

Princess Celestia tires of constantly being surrounded by decorum, deference, and formality, and decides to take a day off from being Princess. But visiting Ponyville incognito is harder than she expects. Will she be able to fit in and make friends without blowing her cover?

Little Rainbow Dash is loyal to one pony and one pony only: herself. It's a simple system, and it gets her through the days. But that all changes one stormy summer afternoon at flight camp, when another pegasus blunders into her life--a pegasus with whom she shares nothing in common.
