I don't know why I can't get up. I used to play this game every night when she got home. She would laugh, I would get up, and we would go make a snack. But we're both crying this time, her hooves in my mane, and I can't get up. I can just think, about all those days it took for me to get here, all my days of racing in the rain.

One sleep deprived night produced this little gem and I'm honestly quite satisfied with it. Make sure to drop a comment! Inspired by the Shane Dawson song "Maybe This Christmas."

Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash have always shared a personnel connection with one another but tragedy strikes before Fluttershy can admit her full feelings towards her best friend. All she wants is one last night for some sweet and simple closure. Yes this is Flutterdash but not EXTREME.

Somepony gets drunk, reveals their feelings, and get's rejected. Now It's up to Rainbow Dash to fix the damage she has caused. Can she find her feelings or will she be stuck with a friend that hates her?

When your life is as dull a gray as the world that surrounds you, the mundanities can make it all seem meaningless. Sometimes all we need is a little color -- or six -- to reintroduce us to what truly makes life worth living.

*6-16-2017 Edit, added Rainbow Dash tag because it triggered knighty.*

The friends we take for granted are often the ones that leave the largest impact on our lives. When Spike falls seriously ill with a mysterious disease and the ponies strive to nurse him back to health, Twilight Sparkle comes to grips with this very realization about her number one assistant--and friend.

EDIT: So this little story made it on Equestria Daily on 10/8/12. Now please excuse me while I pass out on Rarity's fainting couch while murmuring a soft Fluttershy "...yay."

Twilight Sparkle struggles to find a meaningful gift for Princess Celestia.
