At what should have been a routine doctor's visit, Applejack learns that she can never bear foals of her own. After an emotional breakdown, her friends do their best to calm her.

However, as the discussion develops, nopony is prepared for Twilight's revelation: the grand event which brought them together has left a hidden scar within each of them.

Tempers flare, relationships are strained, and the strength of their friendship is tested as each must come to terms with her newfound sterility.

Sometimes, all we need are a few stats to shed some light on a subject.

Octavia and Harmonia Philharmonica were on their way to Manehattan, ready to fulfill their duty as granddaughters and visit Nana. Vinyl Scratch and her brother Long Play were traveling back home from a concert in Canterlot, the first that Vinyl had ever attended. Pure serendipity facilitated these pairs' first meeting.

(Inspired by the pure adorableness that is the cover art)

It is the day of Nightmare Night. Everypony is busy with something to make sure the festival is going to be a success. Everypony except Twilight. Her job—crafting fireworks and keeping them at a safe place—was completed days ago. Unfortunately, she exaggerated the “safe” part a bit, as she lost her only way to get to them.

Will she get the fireworks in time for the festival? Well, that depends on your choices!

This is an interactive, “Choose Your Own Adventure!”-like story, where you get to decide what Twilight does next! (Further details are in Chapter 1.)

Note about the tags:
This story is, in theory, a Slice of Life. However, for you it is an Adventure. But as there isn't any tag that would come closer to “interactive story”, I had to pick this. A pre-reader I asked confirmed it was fine for this case.
Just so you won't get confused.

Twilight gets a feeder to study birds.

She also bought a ton of seeds for it.

While she's frustrated at the fact her supply seems to be disappearing into thin air, she's about to realize that she has a much bigger problem on hoof.

Something is causing the pegasi to follow an irresistible urge to hug their ground-bound cousins, leaving Ponyville foundering in a mildly annoying emergency. Twilight Sparkle ventures into the no-more-dangerous-than-usual town in a desperate attempt to solve the cutesy crisis and finally get her study time back.

After tiring of Twilight's hostile attitude, Discord decides to "help" the Elements of Harmony by bringing in an alternate version of each of them. These duplicates from various worlds aren't told anything about each other, which is good. The last thing Equestria needs is these monsters working together.

Applejack from Bad Apples by... Bisque? It's hard to find an evil Applejack story.

Rainbow Dash is many things. Awesome, radical, amazing, and at least twenty percent cooler than any other pony in Equestria.

She is also lost, lonely and uncertain. Not that anypony else would know.

During the day she is everything everypony expects her to be: she is fast, daring, and adventurous, but when the sun goes down, she is left alone with her thoughts. Tired of simply yearning for something more, she sets out on a night of soul searching and stumbles onto a friend in need, and maybe, underneath the vanilla twilight, she finds something more.
