"Equestria's Guard: the Bravest and the Best. Do you have what it takes?"

So the advertisements say. When Rainbow Dash saves the life of Princess Luna, however, she quickly comes to learn that there's a lot more to the guard than what everypony knows. As she faces down threats to her friends, her Princesses, and her country, Rainbow will have to decide exactly who she is loyal to.

A Price of Loyalty 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.

"Who are you?!"

Lyra wrenched her hands together, strands of teal hair falling over her golden eyes. Suddenly, she seemed so small. She didn't answer. Couldn't? It hurt to remember, hurt to say. She was lying, or maybe it was the truth, and she really didn't know.

Cloud Kicker might just have the wildest life of any pony in Equestria. That may just be why Princess Luna wants Twilight Sparkle to study the insanity that is Cloud Kicker's life for a sociology report. Unfortunately for Twilight Sparkle, she is going to have to survive the circle of jealous friends, paramours, enemies, crazy co-workers and disappointed family members that surround this crazy pony. Will Twilight Sparkle be able to complete this assignment before it spins out of control, or will she be reduced to a neurotic mess?

A Winningverse Story.

All of Equestria is united in celebration for the return of their beloved Princess Nightmare Moon. But when Celestia and everypony else recieve her she's skeletally starved, filthy, and very nearly dead. Meanwhile, while everypony's eye is turned, a lusty Blueblood pursues Twilight Sparkle, intent on adding her bloodline to his own so his family might step closer to godhood. (Alternate Universe, there never was a Princess Luna)

When Sweetie Belle got zapped during the Zap Apple Harvest, no one thought much of the filly's light electrocution. However, the zapping has given her a most unusual ability... the ability to change the color of objects, temporarily, into the colors of the rainbow. This is surprising to the little filly, as she has yet to achieve mastery of most magical arts beyond a novice.

Naturally, her adventurous streak gives her an idea. Sweetie Belle will become a superhero. She is the vibrant guardian, the watcher of the palette. She is...

Zapfilly.

Silence. The golden rule is silence. Silence, and obediance.

For years, you have trained as a royal guard. Now, thanks to the fortuitous return of Shining Armour, your old-time friend and Captain, you are promoted to guarding Celestia personally. What follows, though, is the discovery of a personal side to the Sun Princess that you could never have imagined, not even in your most vivid dreams.

Spike has been missing for three years. Why he disappeared is a mystery to everypony. What caused him to leave in the first place, and why is he suddenly back now? He's acting cold towards his old friends and won't reveal why. He's lost his love for Rarity and is treating everypony he comes across the same way Gilda did.

Opening theme for this story is: Constellations - Sound of the Aviators

This story is a sequel to Friendship is Epic - Book 1: My Big Flare (COMPLETE REMAKE)

The adventures of Flare Gun, Red Engineer, Crystal Iceblast, Blaze Goldheart, Psyche Illusion, and Aquatic Armor continues. Last left off on Book 1 of Friendship is Epic. New adventures, new friends, new enemies, new locations, new epicness, new LULZ!

In this season of FiE, Flare's past follows him to Ponyville, the good and the bad, but it's not just Flare's past, some of the Noble Six as well. Flare's sister Water Gun moves in to Ponyville along with her special somepony, Rainbow Dash's long lost sister also moves to Ponyville, and even ponies from Flare's past such as a pig, a stalker, an old bully, the old bully's father, Flare's ex-marefriend come back, but it's up to you to find out which ones come back to haunt Flare or they come back to help Flare, same story goes with the other members of the Noble Six.

This season of FiE ties with FiM Season 3. It is recommended to read Book 1 first to get to know the characters and story, but this here is the real beginning!

Like in Book 1, this story also contains cutaway gags, but I decided to slow down on them because... I dunno, I was getting complaints about them so now there's not as much cutaway gags, it's mostly humor from the characters themselves. There is still singing. To divide between the singing and the talking, italics will be present, same goes to signs or letters.

Also, I barely read the comments anymore because most of it is what I find to be trollism, but I read PMs and I read reviews on other fanfic websites. So.... I don't care about the comments anymore. Type whatever you want. They won't be deleted, but that doesn't mean I'll read them. But regardless, I hope you at least try to enjoy the story. It's not just humor, it's story. Anyways, have fun! :D

"We have to be brave now, Scootaloo," Dash said. "Just close your eyes, and it'll be all over by the time you open them again."
