In the midst of autumn's splendor Twilight Sparkle, Spike, Applejack and Rainbow Dash head north to participate in the Hoftston Mare-athon segment of the annual Running of the Leaves.

Yet, as they meet the sea something seems to call Rainbow Dash down, down into the fog and uncertainty that rolls in from beyond the Everfree Forest.

What secrets of old Equestria hide in the deep woods and upon the silent shore?

*Resubmitted following revisions.*

"I just wanna let you know,/How grateful I am to you./I appreciate all the hard work,/And kindness you put into,/Dear Spike!" -The Aquabats, ‘Dear Spike!’

All of the girls have at one point or another had Spike help them. However, it seems that the little dragon's good deeds often go unnoticed. So as an act of kindness, they all write letters to Spike.

Apple Bloom had always dreamed of the day. She just never dreamed that it would be a nightmare.

There was a question... and Spike wanted the answer. The curiosity of it was gnawing at his little dragon brain like gerbils in a vat of candy corn. In desperation, he turns to Cadence for help, and she's more than happy to assist.

After all, it's just a simple question. What's the worst that could happen?

(Takes place prior to Season 1. Rated for scattered innuendo.)

When the burdern of rejection becomes too much to bear, Spike casts his life in Ponyville aside for a clean slate. A re-imagination of his own character at the expense of the feelings of his friends. Days, weeks, months, and even years go by as Rarity lives in the regret of her mistake when she realizes the worst thing possible— she loves him, yet she pushed him away because of her shallowness. What happens when the wayward dragon returns home?

As the years rolled by, Princess Celestia has sacrificed much for her people and even more for the peace. All she ever wanted was a choice slice. So it's really just too bad that things have a way to roundabout the way they do, even at the cost of one's sanity.

It is the middle of the night when two bored princesses visit Twilight and her 'What If' machine. Join the three ponies and Spike as the view more:
Tales

Interest!

A story lovingly ripped off from the Futurama episode of the same name.

Twilight gathers the girls to her basement to reveal her latest invention. Unfortunately, they get distracted by another of her inventions: the 'What If" machine, a device capable of answering any 'what if' question posed to it. Follow along as the mane six discover the improbable scenarios that could have been their lives.

“I'm the first to know, my dearest friends,/Even if your hope has burned with time,/Anything that's dead shall be regrown,/And your vicious pain, your warning sign,/You will be fine.” –Angels And Airwaves, ‘The Adventure’

Spike has always had a happy existence as Twilight's assistant. He never felt out of place or unloved and couldn't ask for more. However, one night while looking at an old photo album with Twilight Sparkle, Spike asked about his parents. Unable to give an answer to satisfy both of them, Twilight and Spike go to Princess Celestia for help. But will she even know how to answer? What will this lead to?

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. It teaches so many life lessons. In this one, Twilight and her friends learn a difficult lesson about partying too hard, and the price that comes with it.

Stay thirsty, my Bronies.

(Set prior to the Season 3 finale)
