Granny Smith recovers from a bout of pneumonia, and the Apple family realizes that if they keep their secrets much longer, they might never get a chance to open up to her. Applejack, Big Macintosh, Apple Bloom and Braeburn visit her at the hospital and tell her things they've kept hidden for far too long.

How does she take it? Not how you'd expect.

AN: Written for One-Shotober.

It's a rainy day in Ponyville, and Button Mash is spending it like he spends any other day - gaming. But Babs Seed needs a place to crash while she waits out the rainstorm, and his basement is as warm as anywhere. In the process of making herself at home, Babs gets cozy - much to Button's discomfort.

Bored out of their minds and a sudden rainstorm ruining their plans of destruction—er, search for new Cutie Mark ideas, the Cutie Mark Crusaders decide to sneak into Rarity's attic and find a few things to keep them occupied.

A fun fic I made that won first place in the Cuteness Overload first group contest! So expect, well... adorableness!

Inspired from the cover of one of the MLP Micro Series comics.

It was the last day of school, and both Rumble and Scootaloo felt terrible the entire morning. As the two of them met up to walk to school, they notice that they both feel absolutely sick. Instead of going back home, they decide to toughen it out for the last half day.

Blossomforth catches the two of them, and notices the familiar symptoms of the Feather Flu...

For about two weeks, Rainbow Dash has not been paying any attention to Scootaloo; even avoiding her, or so the orange filly thinks. Scootaloo feels as if she is not wanted and or that she is not good enough for the blue pegasus. She goes on a journey of self discovery, hoping... praying... that what she believes to be true is just a misunderstanding. On this soul searching journey she finds that things are better than she could have ever imagined. And worse.

(Went for something different this time...)

The Cutie Mark Crusaders are framed for a terrible accident, leading to them getting chased out of Ponyville and subsequently exiled. Only Fluttershy believes that the Cutie Mark Crusaders are innocent and travels with them to keep them safe. While out of Ponyville, the Cutie Mark Crusaders hear of a chance to acquire special kinds of cutie marks known as 'legendary marks' and set out to Applewood to start their new lives. Their debut film, Mares in Black, becomes a box office smash success, and that's when their older sisters and Rainbow Dash find out what happened to the Cutie Mark Crusaders, who refuse to return to Ponyville. To make matters worse, Fluttershy has disappeared! Will Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow ever be able to win back their little sisters again?

Apple Bloom's parents died years ago in an accident, when she was only a baby. That's what Applejack and Big Macintosh have always told her, and even though they must have suffered a great deal they still managed to raise her properly and give her all the love her parents couldn't.

But her brother and sister have been hiding a secret, through shame, ever since their parents' deaths, and now the time has finally come to tell Apple Bloom who she really is. But how will the youngest Apple react to what really happened? Can their family bonds survive the truth?

I hung a picture of Rainbow Dash and me on my wall today.

My mother cried.
