Twilight says goodbye for the first time in what will be a very, very long life for her.

Written for the Lightning Round prompt collab.

Also written in honor of Eve.

Now with a reading by PonyThunder.

Sunset Shimmer's life has been on the up and up. She turned from her past, made new friends, and is now passing the magic of friendship to others, including this world's Twilight Sparkle.

Which is why, of course, this is all just a mistake. Things got a little out of hand, but it's over now. So now they can just move past this. Why, it'll be a funny story to tell in a few months.

Now has a spiritual sister story in So You've Just Seduced Your Best Friend. For more details on that, check here.

As Princess Cadance and Shining Armor leave to spend their wedding night, Twilight Sparkle and her friends get to kick back and relax after a successful wedding. And just as she's getting comfortable, the conversation veers onto the subject of... sex. And before she knows it, Twilight faces the terrifying prospect of having to tell her friends about her first time. A special, magical, enchanted moment.

Some unicorn spells should have never been devised...

Applejack has gone through a lot in her life. She's lost family, been a primary caregiver, even had a few massive shifts in her identity... And she's still standing. She's still here.

But is that enough?

We all have dreams, goals, and ideas. We all want for something, want to ascribe to be something. But… what happens once you’ve achieved that goal? What do you do if you’ll never achieve that goal? If circumstances in life prevent you from ever being able to do the thing you love?

Two ponies, two friends, each have to deal with a different version of that question. But maybe they can find the answer together, and maybe, just maybe, they’ll find something else as well.

Scootaloo can finally fly. She does an air show for her friends and the whole town. Problem is, no one except her friends liked the air show. Scootaloo is crushed. She writes letters to Rainbow Dash for guidance, and learns an important lesson.

There is a sequel to this story: http://www.fimfiction.net/story/264181/lead-me-out-of-the-dark

It finally happened. The day she'd been waiting for so long finally came, but I couldn't be happy for her. Everypony expects me to be happy for Apple Bloom, for she finally found her destiny. Only I seem to see what it really means. It means that she's slipping away from me, slipping through my hooves one final time before abandoning us forever.

This story now has a sequel called Slipping through my hooves: The Diamond and the Belle

Sweetie Belle is leaving Ponyville. As Apple Bloom says goodbye to her, she thinks about everything they've been through together. Does she have what it takes to stop Sweetie going?

This story was inspired by the Foalcon group collab prompt Run, and also by the Snow Patrol song of the same name.

Do people think an "E" tag is appropriate for this story? I've tagged it "T" for now.

Unusual talents, non-apple cutie marks and no longer being a Cutie Mark Crusader. Three of Apple Bloom's fears, together in one nightmare. She couldn't take it anymore.

After a series of nightmares, Apple Bloom leaves Sweet Apple Acres, even Ponyville, to avoid all the fears she had faced alone.

An alternate ending of the newest episode, "Bloom and Gloom" if Apple Bloom was still worried about her cutie mark and her future.

It's been a year since Scootaloo died and Apple Bloom isn't taking it so well. Scootaloo watches over her and tires to help Scoootaloo feel better, but how can she do that if Apple Bloom can't see or hear her?
