Vinyl has actually led a pretty adventurous life... travelling around the world and playing music for whoever cared to hear, her fame held within the steel walls of her laptop. But for every positive in Vinyl's life, there has been an equal or greater negative, and Vinyl finds her life in a state for which she had never planned.

Octavia and Vinyl have been dating for months, but neither has had a chance to introduce their significant other to their families. Vinyl always dodges the issue, but when Octavia is insistent, they have a fight. This leaves Vinyl with no other option than to have Octavia over to meet her parents.

Maybe she should have told Octavia who she really was?

A story about Minuette "Colgate" Romana putting her life and livelihood back together in a new home in Ponyville with the help of friends she meets along the way, and some old ones she left behind in Canterlot. Colgate is a clock maker and carpenter (hourglass cutie mark, what was I supposed to do?) Berry Punch owns the local bar and has a daughter (Ruby Pinch) whom she adores. Toss in Cheerilee as Berry's frazzled but dedicated sister, Big Macintosh and everyone's favorite Mailmare Ditzy Doo, plus my freaky knowledge of Football, that is "Hoofball" and hopefully the resulting brew will come out tasting nice.

For those of us who can't get enough Berry Punch, Minuette recommends this blog: http://berrypunchreplies.tumblr.com/

(The story is going to be pretty straightforward, classic cast with as few OC ponies as possible and mostly situational humor and themes like forgiveness and reconciliation, working through problems and building relationships, and relying on your friends when you're in a jam. Probably some romantic themes later on, but nothing over the top or in bad taste. There will be some sad bits too of course, but that's not what the story is about, or what drives the plot. This is a story about beginning again in a new place, and all the hardships and triumphs, laughter and love therein.)

Berry Punch and the rest of her family look back on their life and all the troubles that Berry's alcoholism has caused and decide how to deal with it.

It turns out having an alcoholic family member isn't terribly funny. Also Happy Mother's Day!

Bored with high school, Lyra's life changes when she's brought to Equestria and turned into a mint-green pony with a magical horn bulging out of her head. After an embarrassing incident, Bon Bon decides to help Lyra adjust to life as a pony.

Lyra Heartstrings is a unofficial anthropologist bent on discovering humans but soon enough learns about the extinction of humans in equestria. what happend, what made them die off.
Follow lyra on her adventure to learn how equestria was
REALLY made and how humans were involved.
oh yea and she find a human that's not to fond of equestrians how will she gain its trust

Ever found yourself walking on a park, falling into a wormhole, and waking up on Equestria? Were you a common pony living your life, and suddenly woke up chained on a basement?

Don't worry, because the new subdivision of secret things is here to help you!

And relax; in the end, you'll not remember a thing about it.

After years of research and study, Lyra Heartstrings publishes a guide to everything human: Lyra Heartstrings Guide to Human Culture and Biology. Unfortunately a lot of what is written is inferred, and Lyra never learned good judgement on inferences.

OC label is for fake citation within the text.
Random parentheticals containing names are meant to be Lyras citations.
Italicized text is when BonBon is reacting to Lyra's "facts."
It would be greatly appreciated if you could post recommended OC names in the comments, I'm terrible at coming up with pony names.

Bon Bon has been deeply in love with Lyra for almost as long as they have known each other. Every day is a blessing for the two lovers. But as Bon Bon starts to feel under the weather, will Lyra uncover a dark secret that will rip the two mares apart and leave only hate, sadness, and fear in it's wake?

The story continues in 'Life, Lies, and Love'

### Note ###
The story has undergone it's first ever proof-read and edit, to hopefully fix a lot of grammar and typos. Thanks goes to KiroTalon and Ivo for all their help with this.

Bon Bon's voice is funny, and that's about all that anypony who meets her notices, as her marefriend Lyra soon steals the spotlight with her explosive personality, strange obsessions, and curious beliefs. And why not? Bon Bon is, after all, a perfectly ordinary, boring pony in every way but two: her voice, and the carefully kept secret that she isn't really a pony.
