While on an extended trip to Canterlot with Twilight, you became acquainted with a mare named Moondancer. She makes you feel all kinds of things that you've never felt before, and Twilight caught on to this pretty quickly. After some teasing, you decided to shoot your shot. Moondancer... didn't take it too well. It seems that, somehow, she simultaneously has confidence issues and a huge ego.

Or maybe she's just nervous.

Lyra and Bon Bon are getting married. Lyra is definitely not a princess.

A commission for Trinary.

When he really stopped and thought about it, Gallus was lucky to have a group of friends that admired and appreciated him in the innocent, wholesome way that they did.

Course, that didn’t stop them from admiring and appreciating him in other ways.

Finals had just finished up at the School of Friendship, which meant that the weekend was wide-open for the relieved students on campus. However, since the recent actions of Cozy Glow still lingered guilt across the student body, a group of students decided to take take advantage of their newfound freedom with a gracious visit. They were hoping to find the Student Six in their dorm rooms so they could present a thoughtful gift, and some much-needed apologies for their involvement with the sadistic filly. Unfortunately, the group were only met with Smolder when they tried to state their case.

And to make matters worse, the dragon did not seem too keen on accepting their forgiveness right off the bat.

Can Turquoise and her friends manage to break through Smolder's gruff exterior and prove their atonement? Or is there a deeper reason for the dragoness' resistance to their claims?

Following her heart, Princess Flurry Heart allows herself to be taken prisoner by Cozy Glow, Empress of Tartarus.

Fleur de Lis has it all: a nice house, a great job, a physique that mares envy, and an invitation to every high society event in Canterlot.

So why, at one such party, does she want to do nothing more than to run home?

Applejack still isn't talking to Strawberry Sunrise, but this unfriendly attitude of hers can't last. Every time she catches a glimpse of Strawberry while out at the Ponyville market, she's reminded of that day. Amazingly, they both decide at nearly the exact same time to make up with one another, and despite thoroughly disliking them, Strawberry Sunrise is even willing to share an apple just to make amends.

Since the two of them are also completely alone, and find themselves in an apple tree of all things, she's also even more tempted to offer Applejack an affectionate smooch.

Warning: Two heavenly mares making out together in a tree.

At their special Hearth's Warming secret tea, Ocellus notices that Smolder is acting strangely. She has no idea how deep the problem goes.
