There are many words that can describe the equine force of nature that is Pinkie Pie: loud, fast, bouncy, hyperactive, wild, frenzied, fun...

These are, Rarity would freely admit, normally absolutely wonderful qualities for her friend to have. However, there are circumstances where even the most universally positive qualities are... not ideal. And, she would politely insist, there is at least one place in Ponyville that Pinkie's irrepressible exuberance should never intrude upon: the spa. Rarity would consider this a reasonable arrangement.

And yet, thanks to an ill-timed conversation and the dread spectre of social politeness, these two worlds of hers will soon collide when she is forced to invite Pinkie to spend some time with her in her haven of relaxation.

Will the Ponyville Spa survive? And even if it does, will Rarity's reputation there come out unscathed? Or will, by some miracle, Pinkie bring herself down to the realm of mortals and show Rarity more about herself than she ever could have guessed.

Note: the cover picture is entirely unrelated to the story, except in as much as it involved Pinkie and Rarity at the spa and it amused me.

When the HMS Equestria sets out on her maiden voyage, they're doing nothing more than charting nebulae is search for different forms of life. Officially, that's all they're doing. But, behind sealed doors in a dark room, select crew members are part of a clandestine investigation of a growing faction within the Federation.

Part of The Destiny of the Ancients

Sunset Shimmer and the rest of the Humane Six are about to start their life on Canterlot University, but Rarity still has a surprise for all of them. Seems that one song that Sunset recorded in a game of truth and dare had found its way to the internet and has become a huge success.

With this news and deciding to maintain Sunset's anonymity in the human world, Rarity put 'Jem' as the official singer and the world unanimously want more of Jem, there is just one problem, she doesn't exist... or does she?

Originally part of The Many Destinies of Sunset Shimmer, here you will find the story of Sunset Shimmer's double life as pop rock sensation and manager of Jem and the Holograms and all the adventures and crazy antics that this decision will bring to her and her friends.

When Princess Celestia tasks the Mane Six with reforming the Spirit of Chaos, they aren't exactly thrilled about it. However, they are still determined to try... even if most think it isn't worth the time or effort.

But when they free him, Discord has other plans. He transports them to another universe, another world, locking away many of their memories and leaving them in a strange and different world in forms they aren't familiar with and their elements drained.

But luckily, Friendship really is magic, and there are those in this world who are ready and willing to help the Mane Six restore their memories, and the Elements of Harmony, so that they can return home.

And if their absence in one world and presence in another causes some chaos? Well, then a certain Chaos spirit is perfectly happy with that!

This story is a revision of my original idea. The original idea never made it here, but I tweaked it to something I'm happier with.

Twilight is struggling to adjust to her new duties as the Princess of Friendship, being saddled with mounds of work in an unfamiliar new home. Rarity arrives on routine business at what is perhaps a bad time.

Cover image was made by me with screenshots found on the Friendship is Magic wiki.

Twilight Sparkle was granted a Royal Library as part of the castle in which she is residing, as Princess of Friendship. If her old library was good for the small village of Ponyville, the new library is graced with numerous and highly priced and valuable books, both great and small.

Pinkie Pie found joy in the value hidden within the still small library from the first day. She is regularly coming back, in search of books of direct interest, or randomly going through the books before her.

Pinkie Pie is found incapable of forgetting even the smallest detail, and having direct access to the wealth of knowledge she has been gathering: even if she had managed to forget her very own birthday, or other details of no humorous value.

As a Princess, Twilight Sparkle is holding on to books of value, books of great power in magic hidden among them. What happens, when the pink mare stumbles upon the dangerous material contained within these ancient tomes?

Having a Pet or Companion is fun and exciting, and not just to alleviate the loneliness.

I had ended up acquiring my very own Rarity. The choice had been easy, she feels like my kind of person.

The one and a half foot high Pony is kind of like a small dog, but with a highly developed personality to boot. You don’t even have to raise her, like with a puppy.

What I had not quite gathered, are the consequences of the choice.

01.01 A group of people, entering the Boutique of Rarity’s, with a few questions to ask.

One of the people had a list of exact and intimate details, promptly making an extensive and highly unusual order. Garments and accessories.

Who they were, and what they had in mind will come into light, once the order is completed, but the pay is on the more generous side of the note.

I had noticed the trend of wearing what was referred to as a Gas-Mask, both out of fear, but also as a fashion statement. The problem with either is that they are ugly and highly uncomfortable to wear.

Involving Rarity from the fashionista’s perspective was an easy sell. Knowing her passion for what is looking good; but preferably is comfortable to wear, was making a kill.

Now I just needed some additional help, this is where Sunset Shimmer and Midnight Sparkle entered the picture. Just that once I had the project going, the rest of the gang is joining up behind the project.

As a good friend, and the lover of all things fun; how could I exclude them, or even consider not to include them? This is where the fun hit the road.

Spike had grown used to being a servant to Twilight in the old library; slaving away most of the day to Twilight, Rarity and Pinkie Pie. Wearing the Apron is just part of the deal.

He is always that odd one on the second row, with no real chance at anything he wanted. Even if they consider him a Hero at the Empire.

His desires are squarely aimed at that beautiful mare at the Carousel. It may be a high goal, but it is what he set out to get from his first day in Ponyville. This dream never faded, the way crushes commonly does.

One day, he found a new and odd Apron down in the basement of the castle. Trying it on more out of curiosity than anything, it leads him on the discovery of his life and Heart.
