After being given the short end of the stick by the Mane 6 once again, Spike wonders if he's worthy to be called their friend. When an unexpected visitor arrives, he decides to voice his opinions.

Just a one-shot I cooked up in my spare time. I always feel bad that Spike is constantly neglected or mistreated, even if he is the comic relief.

Now featured on EqD!

A grown Scootaloo lies on her couch. The droning of a radio is the only sound to be heard in the run down flat.

Rainbow Dash is dead.

Author's Note: This was the very first MLP fan fiction I wrote, just after the conclusion of Season 1. As such, it's not up to the current quality standard that I've risen to in the past couple years.

Discovering she's missed the cut for the Wonderbolts, Twilight and friends track down Rainbow Dash to help her see that not all dreams can be realized.

History remembers Sombra as a brutal, power-hungry tyrant, controlled by the darkness in his heart. A force of pure evil exceeded by few.
But was he truly as harsh as the history texts make him? What if, behind all the megalomania and paranoia, there was a pony who felt that he was truly doing the right thing. Both for his people, and for his son?

Written for the Everfree NW pre con contest.

It's not easy being a child living with the knowledge that your mommy is never going to get to watch you grow up. But this was a young Rainbow Dash's reality. Despite her mother's cancer, Dash's family had still been a very happy trio of ponies. But all fairytales must end.

Rainbow Dash's father has come to terms with the approaching departure of the mare whom he called his 'angel'. When the time had finally come for her to say goodbye, would Rainbow Dash be able to accept that her mother will die?

"Mommy's going back to Heaven." It was such a comforting thought to Dash, but she didn't want her mother to go.

(Side-story to What's Really the Most Important, to shed light on what happened to Rainbow's mother. This is technically a prequel, since it takes place a good... 18 years beforehand!

During Summer Swap Meet, the Mane Six meet an unusual and strange acting pony visiting the community. However, this unconventional mare is harboring a big secret that Twilight must discover quickly if she is to avert a tragedy...

This is the first fanfiction I ever wrote for MLP, and basically deals with a topic that's rather close to home for me... Would the Mane Six be able to befriend an "unusual" pony who doesn't quite "think the same" as others? I never intended for my OC to "join the Mane Six" or anything. I created her in order to basically make a character who has Asperger's Syndrome, to try and relate how hard it is for people who have this condition to integrate socially and make friends, no matter how hard they try. I also wanted to show just how hard it can be at times on a personal level. Because of that...this has some "darker" material than Y related show, but I'm still going to rate it Everyone.

Most of all...it's a thank you to all my own friends who never gave up on me and saw past my condition. You mean the world to me.

Since this was my first MLP fanfic...I'm not sure I was quite in the "spirit" of the show even after revisions...but I still think it's good, so I hope you enjoy it.

"My father's stories were, at times, so vivacious, but at others, solemn, as if they were frozen to the touch. He acted as if he owned them. He tucked them neatly away in his mind, capturing every last detail, until he could release them. Always unto me. It was though he lived through her life stories. Through his memories of her. Through his love, which seemed to never die, for a pony who had died long ago."

Grief strangled Fluttershy from birth, as death tackled her loved ones violently. Her mother had died, and her father had forgotten how to live.

Growing up is never easy, especially when you're a dragon among ponies and the closest thing you've ever had to a parent is a slightly scatterbrained young unicorn. When tempers boil over, can this makeshift family pull itself back together?
