For as long as she can remember, Scootaloo has hated her mother. She hated the mare who left her behind on the Ponyville Orphanage steps without a backwards glance. She hated her mother for leaving her father to suffer a life without either of them. She hated that selfish coward who couldn't stand to look upon her own baby's weak little wings and be proud of the daughter she had foaled, come what may. She hated her for everything, for she was the mare who ran away.

She's the same mare Scootaloo's running to now, the same mare about whom she'll learn the truth surrounding her abandonment.

She's the same mare who never stopped loving her baby.

My warmest of regards to the extremely talented Famosity for the use of her stunning artwork (I Had A Nightmare Too)

Featured on Fimfiction: 5/12/13

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?

Dramatic reading by Goombasa available here.

Now in Russian, translated by Hopeless.

Is there but one definition of love? Does one description of how one feels for another mean the same between Citizen and Royalty? Young and Old? Healthy and Infirm? Even between Pony and Dragon? This is what the some citizens of Ponyville will soon find out, as the supposedly felicitous tidings of the holiday and the varied and sometimes conflicting definitions of "love" are experienced through their eyes.

In celebration of our very own Valentine's/Hearts and Hooves Day, follow in the hoofsteps of some of your most beloved characters as they face the events of the holiday, learn what love means for them and their own loved ones, and find how the selfless actions of a few can change a single pony's life forever.

Now the proud owner of a Mother's Day side-story entitled As Long As You're Living. If you enjoyed Scootaloo's chapter, you will definitely enjoy this as well.

A young stallion moves to Ponyville after the death of his grandfather. He meets new friends and forms a special bond with them. A chance encounter with an arrogant griffon sends his life into a whirlwind as he strives to protect the filly he calls his little sister, along with the rest of his newfound friends.

It has been eighty years since Twilight came to Ponyville. She has grown old and her days of adventures have long since past. She has lost a lot. But on the day before the Summer Sun Festival, she likes to pause and reflect. Who knows if she'll be able to do this again.

Applejack has always had a secret dream, one that some ponies would find strange for the tomboyish farmer. She's always wanted somepony to treat her to a special romantic night, while being treated like a real lady. Turns out all she had to do was have a certain rainbow-maned pegasus catch her in a dress. Such an awkward moment will lead them to a night neither will ever forget.

After being touched by the great story My Little Dashie written by ROBCakeran53, I wanted to give the story an ending, something that would bring closure to all. Rainbow has finally returned back to the lands of Equestria, but things did not go as well as the ponies were hoping. Meanwhile, Dad is having a brash confrontation with magic and other-worldly situations.

UPDATE: EpicBG has decided to continue on with my continuation (lol), but in his story, my Epilogue never happened, so go into his story knowing that. His is about the adventures of Dad and Dashie in Equestria, go check it out, its quite good. Here is the Link!

A refined mare fresh out of high school and a dropout following her dreams find themselves forced to spend a lot of time together.

With the help of a meddling psychology tutor and their new classmates, can they find what they've been looking for?
