I know, pretty inventive title, right? Sometimes, while in the middle of a story or just brushing my teeth in the shower, lyrics will pop into my head and I'll have to write them down before I forget them. I've been debating it for a while, but whatever, I've posted just about everything else here already so what's the harm in posting these as well? Hope you enjoy 'em!

The "Tragedy", "Sad", and "Dark" tags are applied more out of a relation to the backstory behind the subject matter than anything else. In the end, we all know that Cele and Luna managed to make amends and that the truly loyal never need to worry about being betrayed.

Rated Teen for crude language.

Weird and unique creatures (Pokemon) start appearing all over Equestria, from Ponyville to Canterlot. The creatures seem friendly though.
Could the appearance of these creatures have something to do with the odd comet that popped up in the sky one night?

Note:I will add more character tags as the story progresses.
double note: thank you the myth for editing this, wuv you lots bro!
triple note: the story takes place before season 3.

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon poke fun at Apple Bloom simply because she does not have her cutie mark. When an arts and crafts fair is preparing to set up in Ponyville, Applejack encourages her little sister to at least participate, but she soon succumbs to her own self-depression. Discouraged, confused, and upset from all the building up of verbal abuse, Apple Bloom one day disappears from Ponyville without a trace and it isn't long before Applejack is driven into mental insanity worrying about her. Silver Spoon betrays Diamond Tiara by confessing to Applejack the most likely cause of Apple Bloom's disappearance and quite possibly her true reason for wanting her cutie mark. And once Princess Celestia learns of Apple Bloom's problem, she decides to pay a visit to Ponyville herself to announce a very important lesson about bullying. Will Diamond Tiara finally realize the error of her ways? Or has her heart been permanently hardened by her own twisted misdeeds?

Also, we have a very special guest appearance somewhere in this story. Think you can find out who?

Happy Day in Ponyville

Some time has passed since the CMCs discovered Hope's Asylum, and met the ponies and Kelpie living there, but one in particular, a not-so-young Kirin colt named Blitzen, was somewhat of a fond memory to the girls, especially Sweetie Belle. Still, time and distance changes everypony, and these letters and stories reflect the changes that occur.

What starts as letters eventually brings the Kirin to Ponyville, and there, a whole new world of friends he never knew find him.

If you have any questions, I made a nice FAQ for this story here.

Meant as a casual follow-up to my other story, where the CMC find Blitzen and Hope's Asylum. Some teases of young romance are mentioned, but kept at just that. Perhaps future friendshipping as well. Starting around Chapter 4, there is heavy drama and some issues brought out briefly. Just wanted to warn people!

Something I just couldn't get off my mind until I wrote it down. Be warned: the ponies in these battles really go off on each other. Almost exactly like it is in "Epic Rap Battles of History", except with less cursing. There's plenty of verbal bashing, though.

Vinyl Scratch is the DJ for most of these battles, and will be doing the all-caps commentary (except for the ones she's in, of course). OC tag because of slight self-insert.

I've heard that this story is better when read with someone else. You know, with each person doing one half of the rap battle?

...should there be a 'sex' tag, considering some of the stuff brought up in the rap battles?

The Cutie Mark Crusaders know that Babs Seed was bullied back in Manehatten, but how bad could things really have been? And how does Babs feel about returning to the city and the ponies who have hurt her the most?

(Note: to avoid confusion, the first few chapters of this story deal with past events that occurred before "One Bad Apple". I will add an Author's Note to the chapter that begins the "present" state of events and continues forward from there.)

Followed by Sweet Apple Anthology and Severed Roots.

Now with a TVTropes page! Thanks to vren55 for putting it up!

Rated Teen for some violence, language, and darker elements.

With a simple little note from a certain blonde Pegasus, Forest Rain's dark life brightens forever.

Inspired by Forest Rain's song, Great To Be Different. Forest Rain gave me full permission to use his OC and lyrics to the song. I have Youtube PMs to prove this.

Happy Holidays all around, and all around Equestria, warmth is abound. From Canterlot, to Trottingham, hearths are ablaze, done by the smallest of fillies and -yes- even the young lamb. As hearts and homes are warmed by the fire, we've brought in two reindeers with a story, for hire. Calm your mind and dream as a kid, as we hear a few stories from Tinsel and his partner Cupid.

NOT RHYMED: Short little one-shots lining as many pairings as I can think of. Each chapter starting with a rhyme by our two Reindeer hosts, Tinsel and Cupid.

Musical numbers in each chapter... Hopefully.

Happy Holidays to all, Merry Christmas, so on and so on.
