Applejack and Rainbow Dash are preparing to get married. Amidst the hustle and bustle and busy activity surrounding such a joyous occasion, Violet Tempest, Rainbow Dash's younger sister, arrives in Ponyville, in order to start out on her journey to find a direction for her life, something that will bring her the same joy and happiness she sees in the love between her sister and her soon to be sister-in-law.

Twilight couldn't be happier for her friends. Rainbow Dash and Applejack have gotten together after their mishap in the Everfree Forest. Big Macintosh and Fluttershy have finally hit it off. And even her new friend Octavia has even found love with Vinyl Scratch! The only exclusions are Pinkie and Rarity, who are too preoccupied with parties or dresses to even care!

But...what about her? What about Twilight...who feels as if she's missing out?

There's little she can do about it for right now though, as Princess Luna herself has requested she help deal with a problem in Manehatten. Somepony has been causing serious trouble in the city that never sleeps, and Twilight isn't going to believe who's behind it all!

Can she let go of the past, look past the facade, and see a pony who's hurt, broken, and afraid?

Can she save a mare who everypony has deemed a 'Phony', a 'Failure', and a 'Dead End of Life'?

Will she hear the cries of help from a mare she thought she knew...and take a Leap of Faith?

(Rainbow Vs. Wild ---> Octavia Vs. Rave ---> Shyness Vs. Kindness)

It's good to be Big Macintosh. A powerful, sexy, and formidable bouncer who guards the entrance to the club "Vinyl's Cage Corral", and also the work horse of Sweet Apple Acres. He's good looking, and has many mares swooning at the mere mentioning of his name.

But...what if he doesn't even notice them? He's too busy to bother with love, and even if he could, the mares around Ponyville just aren't for him.

With Applebuck Season over, Vinyl's club closing down for Hearth's Warming Break, and no work to be done, Macintosh finds himself bored out of his mind...until he sees her.

A canary-yellow Pegasus with a lovely pink mane and the softest, most adorable eyes he's ever seen. He wants to talk to her...but what he discovers is that he's too shy to even try! To make matters worse...two of his cousins are in town to visit and notice this as well.

What follows is the hilarious adventure of two Apple Relatives helping a third to 'Buck up or shaddup!', get his act together and, you guessed it...take a Leap of Faith.

(This one's a bit shorter then the others, so I'm going to try to keep it the same quality but increase the speed. I really want to get to Twi-Vs-TrX!)

(The Votes are in! Here you go, the next installment of Leap of Faith!!!)(Note: Any songs I reference are properties of their respective owners and I do not in ANY way, own any of the musical content used in this fiction)

The Second Leap of Faith.

Octavia is known across Canterlot as a "High-class, prestigious pony of good taste and fair charm". Unfortunately for Octavia, despite hours upon hours of practice, she believes she is still ill-prepared to deal with one of the greatest and most respected performances in all of Equestrian History! The stress begins to mount, and her life begins to unravel in her own hooves, with no signs of escape and no release from the pressure of it all!

That is...until she convinced herself to go to a "Bar" named "Vinyl's Cage Coral". It is here she will meet the legendary DJ-PON3, the one and only Vinyl Scratch herself. When their eyes meet, Octavia can only see the word "Ruffian", where as Vinyl will see the word "Opportunity".

Can Vinyl Scratch, through whatever means necessary, convince Octavia to enjoy the fun and wild side of life? To put down her cello for just one second so she can hear another kind of music? The music of freedom...of life...of faith?

Just how far will Vinyl go...to help Octavia take a Leap of Faith?

Applejack's life has been great. But, some pony is about to change that. And who would've known it was her own friend... Will Applejack still be the same honest, dependable pony we all know and love? Or will she become some pony different?

Applejack couldn't be happier with her life. She owns a great farm and has been married for three years to the love of her life, Rainbow Dash. It's everything she's ever wanted in life, but now she wants something more. A family. A foal. Can she convince Rainbow Dash that they are ready to take a new step in their lives or will a haunting secret from Dash's past prevent them from having one?

(I know a story called "Foal" already exists, but I had this idea for months and I couldn't come up with a different title)

How can one tell if they're real? Who's to say that we're not all part of something else's imagination? Do you believe someponies real by the warmth of their skin? Or the feeling of their breaths down your neck? How can one tell? But that is only one of my many theories.

Is it possible to have two lives within one body? Two different personalities inside one pony? Pinkamena tries to understand the concept of being locked away inside a certain rambunctious ponies body, and why she can't be heard, or seen by the ponies around her.
Is it possible to feel love for the ponies around you, but you're not aloud to tell them? Is it right to love your other personality in such a way you should love somepony else?

Includes: PinkamenaxPinkie, FlutterDash, and RariJack
