Twilight and Pinkie tell Rarity they're dating. Rarity calls on every trope in the book to explain it.

My name is Twilight Sparkle.
I am three hundred and seventy five years old.
Except for Spike, all my friends are dead...But not for long

Betrayed by Celestia, and isolated in her castle with only Spike for support, Twilight Sparkle enacts a powerful spell to reincarnate the element bearers through her own body.
Her friends will be reborn, and, with the trials of being a mother to her friends ahead of her, an unraveling secret from the past following her at every turn, and the possibility of a brand new life so close in reach, Twilight just might be reborn too.

You know that feeling? You know, the feeling that you get when you realize you've forgotten something that is very, very important? It is 10:32 p.m. on Hearth's Warming Eve, and Twilight Sparkle has just gotten that feeling...

In a fit of pique, Twilight summons the Cutie Mark Inspector to Ponyville to conduct a cutie mark review of the townsfolk. When it transpires that every pony has been interpreting their cutie marks wrong, Ponyville is thrown into chaos. Has Twilight bitten off more than she can chew?

The Green Lanterns, guardians of all life in the galaxy. Hal Jorden, Kyle Rayner and John Stewart are some of the most well known Green Lanterns to this day. But there are many Lanterns out there, each with their own story to tell. This is the story of a dragon who gained the power of a Lantern and how he grew from a simple housekeeper to a hero that would one day fight the greatest of evils. But green is not the only color that is in Equestria at this time. For just as there will be the brighest of days...there must also be the blackest of nights.

Due to the many different stories and different ways the powers can be interpreted, I will be doing my favorite versions of the powers.

I OWN NOTHING!

Rarity and Rainbow Dash are madly in love, and even live together. Or so Dash's sister thinks.

Rainbow has kinda been lying to her so that she would stop setting her up with dates. What had started as a little white lie about how Rarity and her were starting to date, quickly spiraled out of control.

Now they want her to visit. With Rarity. Yeah...this can't possibly go wrong!

Rainbow Dash finally comes clean to Fluttershy on the secret of why she feels such a responsibility to her fellow pegasus. It's not simple friendship; it's not plain loyalty. It's something altogether more shadowy.

The duo decided to reflect on the events after the Ponyville Days festival with some cupcakes and light hearted talk.

Laughter emanated, sincere words were exchanged, and their friendship undoubtedly strengthened.

Then, Applejack suddenly remembered the argument that they had and wrapped off the duo's night with a simple question.

Scootaloo asks her uncle a question...
