Twilight and Rarity just want to spend some quality time up on the ferris wheel together, but a certain group of fillies might make that slightly more difficult.

Edited by Harmony Pie

From birth, Fluttershy was hated by her mother. She was hidden from the world, abused, and had no hope. One day, after hearing laughter, she strains to see out of the single window in her room. She sees a girl her age with rainbow hair, and to her, it's the most beautiful thing in the world. They talk, but the noise alerts her mother, and she's beaten within an inch of death. As she lies in the hospital bed, hope is finally within reach.

Twilight starts to viciously attack Rarity with snuggles one fine, seemingly-normal morning. Cuteness and an extremely confused Rarity marshmallow follows.

Octavia Melody and Vinyl Scratch are musicians and the best of friends; despite this, the two couldn't be more different. But when Octavia leaves Ponyville to find her fortune, she learns that her friend might have been all she ever really needed. Meanwhile, Vinyl finds herself trapped in the shadow of her father, struggling to make her own fame.

Follow them, and many other Equestrian musicians, as they further their musical careers, meet new friends, find love, and experience loss. Together, they encounter dangers, challenges and, ultimately, face the greatest realization of all - what it means to accept one's own destiny.

Using songs of the fandom for inspiration, this story was crafted to show the love of music in all it's forms, but also the love music brings to those around it. This story follows the timeline of the show, trying to match it as closely as possible. This does not mean it's not without bumps.
Speaking of editing; a huge shout-out for Aburi, my editor. He may not be the fastest editor - life being what life is - but his suggestions have made my story that much better for everyone reading. Thank you, Aburi!

Bonus Chapters are not required reading, but are just fun little additions. They do include some development for side character, or fun scenarios I wanted to toss in, but many of them are just that: bonuses.

The Worst Possible Thing happens to Sweetie Belle. She falls asleep in class. Well, at least her friends can back her up. Right?

When Pinkie came knocking at her castle door, Twilight herself was a little surprised. She had brought her a gift. But the older mare had a strange, dark mood about her. Shouldn't Twilight be happy, anyway? Yet when she opens the present, it just might be the most heartbreaking thing she has ever recieved.

What happens when Twilight finds a book on Dark Magic? Chaos. Never let a filly learn a death spell.

Wut. This got an awesome reading?

Nightmare Moon is deathly sick, fallen ill by only the hooves of her banished sister. Twilight knows that her mentor is running out of time, however much she tries to convince herself otherwise. But how far is she willing to go?
