Twilight's still getting used to her new wings. She feels the need to ask somepony for flying lessons. And who better to ask than Fluttershy? If you ask Fluttershy, there's plenty of better ponies to ask.

Written for One-Shotober.

It's common knowledge that Rainbow Dash wants to be a Wonderbolt. She's proven again and again that she's the fastest flyer in Equestria already, so why is she so determined to earn that role? Money? Fame? Power?

Only Fluttershy knows. She's been waiting all those years, quietly cheering her friend on and waiting for their dream to come true.

A gift for I HV NO FEAR, for being with me since the start. You wanted FlutterDash, so I delivered.

Over the course of several years, Rarity has achieved a fabulous career, contributing to both Equestrian fashion and the Ponyville community. She is admired by her clients, envied by her peers, and cherished by her dear friends, proving that she's a dependable shoulder to lean on.

Then one day, a mysterious pony visits from out of town. She wishes to meet Rarity, but not to thank her.

Over time we lose our friends; those we love, those who we share a piece of our heart with, but do we ever really lose them for good? Sometimes, true friendship and heartfelt love can transcend even death itself, and with a little magic, a shattered life can be made whole once again. Follow the after-years of Twilight Sparkle, centuries after the end of the show, and find out if a friend lost is a friend gone.... or just somepony waiting to step back into your life.

Iron Will hosts an infomercial with Colgate and Nurse Redheart on the importance of staying home when you're sick.

The results are unexpected, to say the least.

Ponies get older over time. They slow down. This is a part of life. But Rarity, Twilight, Applejack, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie can keep pursuing their dreams as they get older. Rainbow Dash can't. This is her last chance to be a Wonderbolt, and despite working her tail off, she's not getting any better. In fact, she's getting slower. She just wants things to be fair. She wants one last chance to achieve her dream.

She wants to be faster.

This is what happens when she gets her wish.

A three part story.
