The entire Mare Do Well event has left Rainbow Dash more emotionally scarred than her friends would have thought. With Twilight's help Rainbow begins to move down the path to recovery, but when her trust in her friends is called into question, will she be able to let go of what happened and move on? Or, will Rainbow lose who is quickly becoming the most important pony in her life?

As you all know Scootaloo is a Cutie Mark Crusader but she never has been given a back story so these are my ideas on how she came to be in Ponyville

Twilight despises chocolate milk. She hates it. Defiles it. She throws it on the ground, and spits in its puddle of calcium goodness. Chocolate milk has haunted her since her childhood, and Twilight vows to never drink it at all. She can't stand it! However... somepony in the Ponyville community dares to bring this sweet treat before her, and the innocent peace offering doesn't end very well. This is the tragic event that takes place on a summer afternoon in Ponyville.

Author Notes:
~ Pictures are done by GrapeParfait (His Photobucket page.)
~ Inspired by Twilight spilling chocolate milk.
~ [Tragic] because a dairy product was the unfortunate victim.
~ A story to celebrate the first day I registered on this site.
Unfortunately, I couldn't finish this in time for April 25th.
Still hope you can enjoy it.

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?

It's been ten years since Rainbow Dash's father disappeared in a wild, fierce thunderstorm. When the same strange storm hits Ponyville, Rainbow Dash does as much as she can to try and stop it from happening again.

But magic has a strange habit of making things reappear, opening old wounds that could change Rainbow Dash's life forever.

Scootaloo finally breaks. She has taken what life has thrown her. But it became too much. She has to deal with it in more ways than one. She feels lost and alone. She doesn't understand what's happening. What she doesn't know is that help is always just a hoofstep away.

This is the first fic I'v posted so constructive criticism will be apreciated.
The pic is just one I found on the internet by the way

(Put on hiatus because I realized that working on this story would remove my focus from Prelude and Encore, and that would reduce the quality more then it has dropped already.)

Tragedy strikes, leaving five of the mane six in emotional shambles.

Without her antics... without her smile...

Is life even worth it?

Princess Twilight Sparkle is expecting her friends to arrive in Canterlot. But when the train doesn't arrive on time she, naturally, starts to fear the worst.

Although Spike tries to reassure her that all is well with her friends, the nervous Princess can't help but think of a few reasons which could be to blame for the sudden and inexplicable delay.

When the train finally does arrive she learns the real reason for the delay — though it's not exactly what she was expecting it to be.

AUTHOR'S NOTES

This story was written to celebrate me finally reaching 300 followers (what a journey that was).

Enjoy!

Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity, and Twilight Sparkle. Six ponies who have taken on huge responsibilities as the bearers of the Elements. But it seems to me like, even though we know these ponies pretty well, we haven't really been offered many glimpses into their personal thoughts. This is what this story is for.

Six chapters, six letters.
Twilight.
Apple Jack.
Rainbow Dash.
Rarity.
Pinkie Pie.
FlutterShy.
Six (hopefully good) glimpses into the minds and hearts of six ponies

(Warning to new readers, the comments are chock full of spoilers.)

Rainbow Dash's dad, Blue Streak, has been lonely and sad ever since Firefly passed away. Rainbow has tried her best to cheer him up, but to no avail. On her latest visit, she finds out that her dad has been seeing someone and is now happier than ever. She couldn't be happier for him, until she found out who it was.
