Being one of the few orphans in Ponyville, Scootaloo could not help but envy the happy families around her. Always too old for couples, she spends her time away from the orphanage to ride around town and enjoy the empty streets. Falling stars checker the night sky, but one was burning bright and growing ever larger. What is going to happen tonight?

Halo Crossover, family centric fic. Good for everypony.

Inspired by "Scootaloo's New Family" by Wanderer D and the comment made by Coranth.

Thanks to Bronzedragon for pointing out the errors and having me look over and see the rather huge spacing mistake through the fiction. (Dang copy-paste.)

That love can be a painful thing is something we both know all too well, sister. But it does not give you the right to throw your happiness away for mine...

I will not ask for your thanks for what I do now. I only ask for your forgiveness, and perhaps a promise to let yourself be happy.

Enjoy

A cartoon pony named Twilight Sparkle visits me every other Friday night. Normally she just raids my fridge, questions my life choices, and forces me to watch her show. Tonight something is different. Has she always had wings?

Fair warning: Twilight’s views on her own fandom's creations aren’t exactly positive.

The story continues in the sequel

Let us imagine a world where the Equestria we know and worship is divided into two kingdoms: the Kingdom of Lumen and the Empire of Nacht. Every so often, the rulers of these two kingdoms, Princess Celestia and Empress Luna, get together and have tea together.

Lets also imagine that these two are madly in love, and that one of them wants to take their relationship a step further?

After a month, when Caramel found Applejack and started to work on Sweet Apple Arces, he started to see, how Applejack was changing through his eyes. She wasn't the same mare he expected and he started to feel, if he really doesn't belong to her....

Ponies are disappearing on suspicious holidays. Pinkie Pie has a new cupcake range. And a cleaver.

Could these things possibly be related? Can Apple Bloom solve the mystery before it is too late? Or is it cupcakes for all?

Caramel had always dreaded Hearts and Hooves Day. This year merely reinforced his opinions.
He never seemed to hold onto somepony for long. He had no idea until today that a relationship could be made and broken in one day.
Broken, he returns to Sweet Apple Acres in his habit of saying his goodbyes until next week. Also to once more think on what could most likely never be between him and a certain cowgirl pony.
He had no idea what awaited him once he opened the door.

Cerberus has one job, and that job is to guard the Gates of Tartarus so that no evil creatures can escape. He's had this job for a long time, and not once did he defy his duty. Sure, he left his post that one time, but he never intentionally set someone free. Not that he ever wanted to.

But what if somepony was cast into Tartarus through no fault of their own? And what if that somepony is a pony that Cerberus really cares about? Is there a protocol for this scenario? Alas, no. It's never happened before. So, the big question remains:

What now?
