After a falling out with Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon is befriended by Sweetie Belle. However as time goes by, the silver-maned filly quickly learns that she has slightly-more-than-platonic feelings for her new friend, and that some ponies aren't above petty revenge. Can Silver Spoon's new found feelings survive public humiliation, petty grudges, and potential rejection?

Finally, the summer vacation has started. But for Silver Spoon, this doesn't mean fun and play. She has to go to summer class. And if going to school during precious summer time wasn't bad enough, Apple Bloom is there, too. But what seemed to become a nightmare of a vacation slowly turns out to be a chance to finally change a lot of things in Silver Spoon's life.

As of chapter 22, docontra is proof-reading this story. I can't thank you enough for the help :).

Side story: A Night at The Golden Mug

Discord is once again loose, but after using his randomness to find some interesting information on some strange phenomenon in another world that has to do with an island and a bunch of humiliating events, the crazy spirit of disharmony and chaos comes up with a new, sick, twisted, disturbing plan that involves capturing 20 of the most popular ponies (and three non-ponies) and forcing them to play a new game while the rest of Equestria watches in horror (or most likely secret amusement and possibly envy of not being picked themselves).

What does the rotten host Discord have in mind for our 20 unfortunate selections? Well, looks like you'll have to wait and find out! Maybe, just maybe, if Discord is feeling generous, the winner of his new "game" will get a grand prize. Everyone pick a character to root for and let's get it on!

A new family moves to Ponyville and their young colt, Gilt Eyes, joins up with the Cutie Mark Crusaders right away. Much to the annoyance of Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, Gilt Eyes is more interested in giving foals with cutie marks a hard time than trying to get his own cutie mark. Silver Spoon pays the price when she finds out why…

It's Christmastime, but Richie has little reason to celebrate. Having recently left home and now living on his own, he has no one to celebrate the holidays with. Being a fan of the new My Little Pony, he has naturally often imagined having his own pony to curl up in bed with -- one to keep his body and heart warm during the wintry holiday season. When the powers that be see fit to fulfill his heart's desire, what happens when the thing Richie wanted most...also turns out to be the thing he wanted least?

Inspired by ROBCakeran53's My Little Dashie and Stepany1234's More Silver Than Gold. I make no apologies for the unoriginal idea (except maybe if it sucks).

Poor Diamond can never seem to catch a break from her parents. This holiday season, like so many others, will be one where she's left alone.

...Or so she thinks.

Silver Spoon once had the perfect life and the perfect friend. When her friendship with Diamond Tiara cracks due to past incidents, it's only downhill from there. Will Silver Spoon be able to crawl out of this problem? Or is it all hopeless?

Silver Spoon has never been considered a fan favorite among the fans of My Little Pony, and with good reason. She isn't really that developed in the show aside from being a constant brat and bully towards the Cutie Mark Crusaders with Diamond Tiara, but why is she like this? Does she partake in such actions just for pleasure, or does she have some other, more tragic motive for being so crude?

When Apple Bloom and her friends discover that Apple Bloom is being paired up with Silver Spoon for a class project, they finally get an opportunity to discover Silver Spoon’s true nature. At first, the three crusaders begin to assume the worst and prepare themselves for the worst week of their lives. Apple Bloom is unsure whether she should trust the grey filly. She is eager to finish the assignment before Silver Spoon can deal out any more painful and bitter insults. However, as Silver Spoon begins to spend more time away from Diamond Tiara, Apple Bloom begins to realize that Silver Spoon is a much more tolerable and pleasant pony to be around. Apple Bloom begins to trust Silver Spoon more and more over the course of the project as tragic secrets are revealed that were once hidden away from all to see. Is this all just some clever scheme; a facade put on by Silver Spoon to milk sympathy from others, or is life served with a silver spoon not as sweet as they were led to believe? And when she learns the truth of Silver Spoon's parents, can she really be mad at her for all she's done?

Harsh criticism welcomed.

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon had their whole week planned out. They were out of school for the Summer Sunflower Jamboree. They were going to go shopping, stay up late, talk crap about ponies they didn't like, good wholesome fun.

So how is it that now they end up stuck at Sweet Apple Acres under Applejack's care, forced to be around Applebloom and the rest of the Cutie Mark Crusaders for the whole week?

It's going to be a long week ... for everypony involved ...
