Applejack's got a secret she'd kept hidden for many years. Nopony would ever have guessed what she and Twilight were up to in the library late at night, once Spike had gone to sleep. That is, until a jealous Rainbow Dash decided it was her business to find out just what in the hay was going on.

Applejack receives the letters her parents wrote her years ago, before their deaths.

Look, I heard you the first time! Yeesh, I wish you'd stop staring at me, as if you're reading my thoughts. 'Cuz if you could, then you'd know that while this is the first thing I'd want to do, it's also the last! I mean, horseapples, things would be a heck of a lot easier if I'd known ahead of time that Twilight and the rest of the girls had only packed three sleeping bags instead of six for this mountain hike! For realsies, if you had any friggin' clue how many restless nights I've spent thinking about you, fantasizing situations like this, then you'd know... you would freaking know how impossible it is for me to actually... sh-share a sleeping bag with my totally not-sexy-in-any-way best friend... (*ULP*) ... overnight... s-so that we could keep our bodies warm in the cold, cold forest. Grnnnng! Alright... alright! I'll do it! Of c-course I'll do it! I'm awesome! I'm not afraid of anything! Okay... I can do this... I can totally do this... I can... I can... I-I...

When a bag full of drawings falls from the sky onto Applejack's head, she wouldn't have expected an old secret Rainbow Dash had been keeping to be revealed, for her to lose a fight with a fridge, and for the two of them to open up to each other in more ways than one.

But that's only if Applejack stops being furious at her friend for lying. Again.

Contains AppleDash, and fridge warfare. Rated Teen for the mildest of strong words.

Applejack loves living with her morals, but one day she was struck with a series of nightmares, and something else now threatens her morals. This something is present only to her, and only as a voice in her head. But it wants more than someone to talk to. With Applejack only being able to think straight in her nightmares, will she be able to resist this unnamed voice? Or will she fall victim to his whims?

Though daytime I do disappear
At night I'm always present, near
Your magic does naught
To keep me at bay
But all the while
I won't go away
Though try as you might
To ensure I'm gone
While we're in the night
You're never alone.

To Applejack, magic is a fickle thing; she's chosen to bear an Element of Harmony one day, and the next she's scratched by something while exploring a cave. What will she find of this lost magic and was it really lost or did somepony try to hide it?

Whatever it is, Applejack's going to find out.

It is Applejack's first birthday since she and Rainbow Dash have been a couple, and the pegasus has done everything to make sure the party will be a smash hit. But due to her unrelenting focus on the event, she forgets to get Applejack a gift. Now, with only hours left, she scours Ponyville in an attempt to find something to give her fillyfriend for her very special day.

I'd also like to thank Garbo802 for inspiring the part of this story that involves Davenport (from his story "The Crystal Empire: Appendices")

Applejack has problems with a recurring nightmare.

Each week a different story will be written INSPIRED by the new episode. Tags will be used where applicable, but every story will be different. Not every story will necessarily reflect the episode which inspired it, but will be cut from the same fabric, if you will.

A personal writing challenge to myself to spawn more creativity, and more fun stories to share with you guys.

THIS WEEK: Fears are faced, and Lyra has a birthday party.

Canterlot has nearly fallen.

My troops now flood the streets.

Victory is all but assured.

So why does Celestia have that stupid smile on her face?

And more importantly, why does she wish to speak with me?
