I was able to graduate from college with a degree in photography, yet I never acieved my dream. Ofcourse I compromised and became a model, as well as the girlfriend to Fancy Pants. My life appeared perfect to all the gossip magazines and my fans, but truly I felt empty and alone. And obviously I hit a few road bumps on my journey to finally be a photographer such as angry managers, a secret relationship, and even a murder. But I never quite gave up on that dream of mine, not ever.

"Howdy, it's Applejack. Sorry I missed your call, leave a message after the beep and I'll get back to you as soon as I can!"

Why isn't Applejack answering her phone?

And why is her inbox so full?

Spectrum Skies always wanted his eldest, but also adopted son, Soarin Skies, to follow traditions. His family's legacy.

Following through all but one, Soarin fails to stop himself from falling for an ordinary village mare, Rainbow Dash.

The two fall instantly in love, but Spectrum has other plans. He wants his son to marry Spitfire, a promising Wonderbolt.

How will Spectrum react to Soarin going behind his back and marrying Dash? How will Dash react to her father's death and mother's disappearance?

What will the couple do, when Spectrum threatens to kick them out of the house?

And most importantly, what will Soarin's younger brother, Speedy, do when he comes back from college to find his entire family ripped apart?

After all, if you want happiness, you'll have to sit by a few tears as well.

Based on KJ's "K3G"~

Hi. My name is Spike, Spike the dragon. I live in Ponyville with my caretaker Twilight. She's my best, and kind of my only friend. I'd even go far as to call her family. Everything was fine...until she had that baby. At first I was really happy, that maybe I could have a little brother or sister. But Twilight...she treats that kid...like she loves them more than me. I mean, she RAISED me. I always kinda viewed her as my mom. But it's clear she's started her own family...and I'm not part of it.

Almost everypony has a soul mate, one they are destined to live with and love for all their days. They give their body, heart, and soul to each other. Rarely do soul mates ever change, but occasionally there is the twist of fate that happens.

During their escape from the crystal caverns, a lose rock manages to almost impale Twilight before Cadence pushes her out of the way and takes the blow. Seeing her foal sitter dying, Twilight uses all her magic to save Princess Cadence with a very dangerous spell. It is not without a consequence as she, unknowingly, gives her own life energy to Cadence, tearing up the soul bond between her brother and her foal sitter. Instead, it makes a new one: one between the two of them.

With Shining Armor’s own bond broken, it attaches itself to the closest being it can: Queen Chrysalis.

Hearth's Warming is a day for family and happiness. Dinky and Derpy treasure this day and their time with each other. However, one Hearth's Warming Eve, a storm changes all that and Dinky realizes how lonely her life is without her mother. The two loved each other more than anything in the world; Dinky has no intention of losing that bond.

My name is Celeste and I am eleven years old. I like sunshine and winter and glitter and cotton candy and fairy tales. I live with my little sister Luna and I am the queen of Equestria. I’m not really the queen right now. I have to wait until I am fifteen years old. Luna and I are princesses and we get to dress up and run around the castle but sometimes I wish I was normal. Right now my uncle Dizzy is the king because my parents are dead.

This story is a sequel to Three Steps Back

When Granny Smith begins to write a diary, she hopes to chronicle her family's growth. She has no idea what kind of story she's about to tell.

"An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward. So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means its going to launch you into something great. Just focus, and keep aiming."

For Snapshot, life has ground to a halt ever since two years ago. The last Equestria Games nearly ended in tragedy because of a stray arrow in the Ice Archery event. Why in Equestria did his shot go astray? Seasoned athletes don’t make mistakes like that without a good reason…

I want to give special thanks to my prereaders Jack of a Few Trades, Quillamore, and Piquo Pie. This story wouldn't be nearly as good if you guys didn't help me out.

FamousLastWords helped out too by prereading.

Professor Cooke is a pony of principles; anypony who has known him well can testify to that. As an established history professor at Canterlot University, he knows the dangers of opening borders to a hostile nation; his anti-changeling stance may seem harsh, but the safety of Equestria comes first. It's not about the species; it's the cultural dangers of a society of infiltrators, liars, and saboteurs on Equestria's border.

He's going to stand by those principles for the good of Equestria. Nothing can change that, not even one of his closest friends turning out to be a changeling... right?
