Justin's life on Earth sucked. Horrible job, horrible apartment, horrible lifestyle and no contact with anyone you could call a friend. When he winds up in Equestria, he's more than happy to stay. But things ain't so easy where the grass is greener...

A collaborative effort between me and my friend Beese.

Post Haste and Rainbow Dash have been with each other for three months and life has been great. Then, every coltfriend's worst nightmare happens. No, not an angry ex, how is that even possible?

The sequel to "New World, New Beginning." I suggest reading that first. Up to you, just saying...

READ THIS DESCRIPTION. ALL OF IT.

[2nd-Person Fic starring you and Rainbow Dash]

Having turned away from the spotlight, you preferred to distance yourself from fame and popularity. Instead, you chose to live a simple life away from the crowds and fortune. But when you meet a multicolored mare with an unusual request, can you find it in yourself to go for the gold again?

A/N: Okay, this is going to make very little sense at first, but just bear with me.

So I've been playing a ton of Kid Icarus: Uprising lately. It is hella fun, and Sakurai did an amazing job at revitalizing the series. It has easily stolen the spot of "favorite 3DS title" in my heart, and I can't put it down.

So you're probably wondering, "what does Kody's videogame preferences have anything to do with a romance story involving Rainbow Dash?" Well, everything, actually.

A friend of mine noticed my new addiction to this title. He knows I write about ponies, and as such, he jokingly made a bet with me saying that I should write a story in which I use music from said game in every chapter. I shrugged it off and ignored it at first, but I went and started to listen to the soundtrack. Somehow, I developed a plan and storyline from doing so. Now, this story won't reflect the events or storyline from this title. It is entirely original.

The rules I was given are simple:
1. The music must come from Kid Icarus: Uprising.
2. At least one song must be used in each chapter. More than one song is viable.
3. The same song may not be used more than once.
4. Remixes or fan-made renditions of songs are not allowed.
5. The song must be used in a way that enhances the reading experience. I can't just toss a song in and say 'mission accomplished.' It must complement the events and make sense.

Now, I know what you are thinking, and yes. This is really weird. But hey, it worked, and this story was born as a result.

EDIT: It has been brought to my attention that some of the songs used in the story are blocked in certain countries. As much as I would love to get this fixed, I'm afraid I don't have much of a way around this. If this affects you, I apologize deeply.

ANOTHER EDIT: Since Youtube is such a fickle thing when it comes to copyrighted music, a link may end up leading to a broken video. If this is the case for any of the songs, please let me know via PM so I can fix it ASAP. Thanks!

This is how it works. When you get to a bit of blue text such as this, that's a link to the song. Open it in a new tab and continue reading as the music plays. Simple. When you get to some red, underlined text, that is the cue to stop the music. Sometimes, that cue may not be there, and the song is meant to play until the end of the chapter. Songs don't carry over to other chapters, however.

The music is not required for the reading experience. It is entirely optional. Well, for you it is.

I hope you enjoy my nerd-ery!

[2nd Person Perspective]

"Look out for number one."

That was the way of life back in Clopton. A city where survival was a daily battle.

Having made a few too many enemies, you move to Ponyville with only a bag of bits, the tools of your trade, and a couple jackets to cover the scars you've accumulated in the past. You don't trust anypony as far as you can throw them, but can you mesh well enough into the little country town to support yourself?

It'd probably be easier without that colorful maned pegasus bothering you.

Spike goes over his thoughts and feelings as he spends time with his sickly love in her final moments.

Another Hearts & Hooves day is coming up, and Soarin has the perfect plan set up! Stay in his bed the whole day, with his face buried in his pillow, bawling his eyes out in hopes that nothing horrible will happen this year. What? That doesn't sound perfect? Well, of course it doesn't. But for him, its the best he can do. Years and years of being cursed with horrible dates and even worse Hearts & Hooves days will lead a colt to this. He's tried fellow Wonderbolts, fanmares, old friends, speed-dating, and countless other things. Each date was different, but they all shared one thing: Miserable, miserable failure. He has no plans on trying again. Ever. However, Spitfire won't sit and watch him mope. She knows one mare he may have a chance with, one mare that won't end horribly. Her name is Rainbow Dash.

After being basically thrown off Cloudsdale, Soarin aims to go on the perfect date with Rainbow. She really is all he really wants, and he's had feelings for her since he met her at the Gala. With help from a certain romantic dragon and old friend from Appleloosa, he'll strive to make this year's Hearts and Hooves Day perfect. He's got enough time to set it up, and Cadence's Hearts & Hooves Gala is nearing, so he has to do this right. But somepony's working behind the strings, and they want to see Soarin fail.

Dates will be made! Friendships will be tested! Pies will be eaten! And lots of other stuff! But everyone is driven by one thing: The Power of Love!

Your name is... well you forgot, something with a 'D' you think. That crash landing you had in the back of the Canterlot Club, caused you to forget a few things. You have a new job as the Wonderbolts 'Handyman' and develop close relationships with the members of the team... specifically Spitfire

This is going to be a small series I will do on the side every once in a while when I need a break from my other stories. This is my first second person fick, and I hope you like it.
