The thing about loyalty... the thing about loyalty is that sometimes you don't know where your loyalties lie.
Have I always been loyal to my friends? No. There are things that they didn't know about me. Lots of secrets from the past that I've kept from everypony. I had a past full of disgrace, shame, and loneliness. Things that I wish had never happened. Only a few ponies know the truth. But I could only keep my past away for so long...

This story is a sequel to The Long Lost Rainbow

After deciding to finally push the past behind him for good and leaving it in the dust, Rainbow Strike finds himself settling back into his old life and hopes to get back on track from where he left off, patching old wounds as he goes along his journey on self recovery and finding a new job as a music teacher.

However, it has been so long since he has been back home and he worries that he won't be able to be seen as the pony he once was. Will things change or will they stay the same for the tormented soul? Only time will tell.

A run-away Vault dweller called Oscar has been in the wastes for only a few months after getting out, and while he was scavenging for scrap one day to sell to traders for money, he ends up finding something much more than something in the way of fortune; He finds something that will change his heart around forever.

Rainbow Dash is the Element of Loyalty. It's her title, her honor, her life. She's supposed to be the most faithful, reliable, dependable, trusted pony in all of Equestria. And when an unexpected pegasus pays Dash a visit,at first she is thrilled. But when her loved one slowly begins to fit into her close-knit circle of friends, Dash finds herself feeling left out, and her loyalties being put to the test. And if there's one thing that she realizes, it's that nopony gets under your skin like family.

Once upon a time, on the not-so-magical planet Earth, there was a US Marine who signed up to defend his country. He was assigned to a fire team, the fire team assigned to a squad and the squad assigned to a platoon. Together they defended the area surrounding a Forward Operating Base in Afghanistan from insurgents. If only it were that simple.

When lone Marine is transported to Equestria he finds a post-apocalyptic wasteland. With no orders, no resupply and seemingly no hope of return, he sets out to find what brought him here, and why.

Strong Language Warning: He swears like a Marine.

Rainbow Dash takes great pride in being Equestrias greatest flyer, however that all changed the day a new Pegasus moved into Ponyville. He is a stranger to everypony and he wishes to keep it that way for the rest of his life. After saving a falling pony before she could reach her in time, Rainbow Dash soon discovers that this new Pegasus has ties to the Wonderbolts. She demands a race from him in hopes of proving herself, but he refuses her challenge. Rainbow Dash then takes it upon herself not only to discover who he is, but what he's hiding. However she's going to find out that it's not going to be so easy, and that some secrets are better left untold.

Spectrum Skies always wanted his eldest, but also adopted son, Soarin Skies, to follow traditions. His family's legacy.

Following through all but one, Soarin fails to stop himself from falling for an ordinary village mare, Rainbow Dash.

The two fall instantly in love, but Spectrum has other plans. He wants his son to marry Spitfire, a promising Wonderbolt.

How will Spectrum react to Soarin going behind his back and marrying Dash? How will Dash react to her father's death and mother's disappearance?

What will the couple do, when Spectrum threatens to kick them out of the house?

And most importantly, what will Soarin's younger brother, Speedy, do when he comes back from college to find his entire family ripped apart?

After all, if you want happiness, you'll have to sit by a few tears as well.
