On a trip to visit Twilight's parents in Canterlot, Twilight and Rarity find themselves in an unusual situation. Can they straighten everything out before they have to return to Ponyville?

Twilight never expected her new castle to feel like home straight away, but neither did she expect it to be so terribly cold and empty.

She really needs somepony to help her fix that.

When Fluttershy steps up to the mark, she and Twilight embark on a task of immense proportions - making a castle a home. But when her other friends decide to intervene, Twilight soon discovers that her feelings of friendship for Fluttershy go far, far deeper that she could have possibly imagined.

Fluttershy has always wanted to give more of her kindness towards ponies. However, her shyness impedes her speaking, which makes her hard to express herself. After asking for her help, Pinkie Pie teaches Fluttershy to communicate with physical interactions instead, like hugs.

It works so well that Fluttershy decides to hug every pony in Ponyville.

Not wanting to go in alone, she enlists the help of her friend, Fluttershy, both for her reassuring presence and her impressive knowledge of the forest.

When Applejack spots Derpy staring off into space, she wants to know if the lonely mare is all right. It turns out that Derpy has a lot to think about, including quite a few other pegasi who venture to Sweet Apple Acres in the middle of the night to do the same.

Twilight is exhausted after the whole "future Twilight" thing, and understandably so. Luckily, she has a certain pink mare to help her bounce back.

It's Hearth's Warming Eve in Ponyville, and everypony is happy. Well, mostly. Fluttershy's plans for spending time with her family were cancelled, but Applejack decides that it would be best if she stayed with Applebloom and herself.

Happy holidays everyone!

Sorry if this isn't the best, just some shippy stuff that I wanted to do.

Rarity and Fluttershy are closer to each other than with anypony else, they're truly the best of friends. But during their usual get-together day, strange feelings sprout within Rarity. Is it... love?

Scootaloo loves cool things. Wearing a bow is something that would never come to her mind.
It's kitschy. It's cheesy. It's uncool.
Yet she did it last night to help Apple Bloom out of a complicated situation. But that was an exception. Help for a good friend, not more. She would never wear a bow again.
At least that's what Scootaloo thought. For some reason, she couldn't let go of Apple Bloom's bow.
Why does it make her feel so much more comfortable to wear it?

A little one-shot inspired by "Somepony to Watch Over Me".
I usually don't write shipfics, but Scootaloo wearing Apple Bloom's bow in that episode was too good of an opportunity to take a pass on writing one. And too much cuteness to resist.
Please let me know what you think about it in the comments.
