Holding in emotions is never good. Keep them buried for too long, and eventually they burst out at the wrong time. Both Rarity and Rainbow Dash have a secret they have been hiding from their friends, specifically from a certain shy, animal-loving pegasus mare. They've finally decided to come clean, but neither of them counted on the other revealing the truth, much less at the same time.

Now Fluttershy is stuck with an impossible choice between her two best friends. Can she choose one without risking her friendship with the other?

"Sex" tag due to innuendo and suggestive material. No actual sex happens in this story.

When sorting through a horde of ancient artefacts Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash accidentally activate the magical powers of a pair of bracelets which force the wearers to be in constant physical contact with one another. Stuck together until Twilight manages to find a way to remove the bracelets, the shy and timid pegasus must cope with re-emerging feelings, while the athletic and rash pegasus must cope with the various antics of a bunny rabbit out to get her.

So then, what would happen if a human baby ended up and was raised in Equestria?

Will they be a normal everyday worker? Will they be a Celestia Knight? Will they take over the world? Will they speed up Equestrias technology level with good old human ingenuity?

Honestly I have no idea!

So that's why I need YOUR help! You, the readers will decide their personality, their dreams, their... everything really. So lets get started!

Set after the events of "Confidence", Fluttershy has to deal with her new found feelings for her oldest friend. Meanwhile, Rainbow Dash has to come to terms with the consequences of her actions and what they imply about her, and her relationship with Fluttershy.

For as long as Rainbow Dash could remember, her life was simple, straightforward, and planned out with one goal in mind: become the best flyer in all of Equestria. Simple. But when she unwittingly comes across a tool that allows her to relive the memories of her ancestors, that simplicity is challenged when she discovers dark secrets hidden in her family's past as well as Equestria's history that not only challenge her perceptions of reality, but threatens to alter her very psyche.

As she's thrust into the remnants of a centuries-long war, as she questions the morals of those around her, as she battles to separate reality from fantasy, will Rainbow be able to hold on to her own beliefs or will she embrace her family's blood-stained traditions and finish what they started?

The year is 2414. The Federation is alive and well. The Klingons back to being the Federation’s Allies, the Romulans power diminished, the Undine now an Ally, and the Borg all but washed up. And by now the Zeta Andromeda Galaxy had moved close enough to the Milky Way to allow a Transwarp Gate connection. Starfleet has jumped on the chance and is now exploring the new Quadrant. Leading the charge is the Temporary Federation Flagship U.S.S. Evans-A, veteran of the Klingon-Federation War, the Borg’s invasion of the Alpha Quadrant, and the Romulan-Reman Civil War with Vice Admiral Blaze Johnson at the helm, the man who destroyed the Borg H.I.V.E.
Arriving at an uncharted system, Blaze and his loyal crew find a mystery. A planet that is the center of its system, surrounded by Spatial anomalies, and the primary species are Ponies? Defying the Prime Directive, Blaze goes and explores the planet. But there is more on the planet than its ultra friendly inhabitants. What he finds there could threaten not only the planet called Equestria, but the Federation, and both the Milky and Zeta Andromeda Galaxy.

Special Agent Timothy McGee is a federal agent, an author, and apparently some sort of plaything for the cosmos. How else could he wind up accidentally skipping work because he's stuck in a cartoon village full of talking ponies? And how exactly is he going to explain this to his boss?

Fluttershy has feelings for Rainbow Dash. Love? No. A crush? Maybe...

Wonderbolt trials await Rainbow Dash. What better way is there for Fluttershy to get closer to her crush by attending Rainbow and helping her during the tralls?

After the War of the Ring and the return of peace to Middle-earth, Gandalf the White departs for Equestria to visit two old friends of his; specifically, a certain pair of alicorn sisters.

Yet he does not foresee that Equestria, like ponykind, has changed with the years since his previous visit, and so he is quite unprepared for what lies ahead. Can the Wizard endure the trials that this new journey will bring? Surely, but only if he makes a few more friends along the way.

Six more, to be exact.

(Originally posted on 8/21/12 on FIMfiction. This is written by an author that has only seen the films and has yet to finish the books, so there may be slight discrepancies.)

Tank and Angel have always been odd friends; after all, what's more different than a tortoise and a hare? But after their lovestruck moms decide to move in together, both creatures are forced to live together in Fluttershy's cottage. Surely, with two wonderful mothers and lots of attitude, the pets will find many adventures their way; most of them just as ridiculous as the pair themselves.

This story is a sequel to "Living the present, hoping for the future,", but it isn't a necessary read. Still, I would take a look at it; it will clear up a lot of things in this story.
