Scootaloo's life hasn't been the easiest. Being orphaned at a young age and brought up in the foster system came with its own set of challenges, not the least of which was a lack of older pegasi around to teach her how to fly. Fortunately, Rainbow Dash can help with that. With her honorary big sister taking a more active role in her life, Scootaloo learns much more about herself than just how to fly.

A story about love, family, and growing up.

Soarin is considered by many to be a Play Colt, a stallion able to get any mare he so desired, then why is it he is all alone on Hearts and Hooves Day? Could the legendary PlayColt actually has no idea how to talk to mares? In order to avoid the holiday dedicated to love, Soarin elects to spend the day at home to avoid it at all cost, the only problem is he has no pie left; leading him to Sweet Apple Acres to get the best pies in Equestria from no other but Applejack.

Happy Valentines Day to one and all! Breaking my tradition here this year, instead of a total MacDash story this year I am writing a SoarinJack! I love this ship and have been trying to write a story for so long about them, so I finally sat down and got to it. I love how it turned out and hope you all enjoy as well!

Thank you to Arbarano for all of his edits! So sorry it took me so long to write! Best editor awards goes to this guy!

Also a special thanks goes to The Masked Ferret , Aquaman, and Jake the Army Guy for listening to my random ideas and complaints.

Final thanks goes to Artistcoolpony for the cover art... now only if you did MacDash...

Non-Mature Feature Box: 2/16/17

It isn't often that things go well for Derpy. Between her eyes, her clumsiness, and her propensity for disaster, it's hard enough just to make friends. Add to that a revolving door of jobs and a daughter to raise, it's a miracle that she has much time for herself at all. So when her date stands her up at a loud, flashy club, it hurts.

Maybe she should just give up. Or, maybe she just needs the kindness of a strange bartender in purple shades.

This story is a sequel to Holiday Sunlight

After moons of planning and preparation, Sunset Shimmer finally crosses the portal to visit Princess Twilight Sparkle in Equestria. Even though it's been so long since she last stepped hoof in it, Sunset feels a sense of joy finally returning to her homeland. Of course, she doesn't really recognize this particular part of Equestria; Sunset has never been in Ponyville before. That doesn't matter though; Twilight is going to show Sunset around town. With a tour around Ponyville alongside some lovely company, Twilight believes that she's really going to enjoy this day. However, both Twilight and Sunset have something to say that could make the day even better.

Second story in the Rays of SunLight series.

On our last legs, clinging to any remaining happiness by the skin of our teeth, to see light in the darkness is but a dream, unattainable. Those who understand that pain find kindred spirits among those who share it, and irreplaceable gifts among those who would save them.

Rated "Everyone" because EVERYONE needs a little of PinxiePie... Enjoy!

The Pinkie Pie clones are gone. They have all been zapped back to the Mirror Pond. All, except one.

This particular clone knew that if she stayed around Ponyville, she would be spotted, and end up just like all the other clones. And she didn't want that. So what else is there to do? Escape Ponyville, and to where? Manehatten. Meanwhile, a certain blue unicorn mare is busy trying to make herself look better while ultimately failing. Surprises will await them both.

Celestia and Scootaloo are homeless in a Ponyville alleyway together. They like to talk about things.

These are the things they talk about.

Note: The crayon scribbles of a plot is done, but the ride never ends story still updates.

Sweetie Belle burst into the Carousel Boutique in tears because one of her best friends is moving to a foster home in Baltimare. Surely there has to be a pony in Ponyville who can be her foster parent, right?

I'm lucky to have two of my favorite, (and also way underrated authors) on this site pre-reading for me, HMXTaylorLee and DemonBrightSpirit. Their work is seriously excellent and unappreciated so go check them out.

My super awesome cover art was done by hugsforpenguin and commissioned by the aforementioned HMXTaylorLee, so another thanks to him.

This story takes place in an Alternate Universe where Quills and Sofas sells more than two things.
