Well before Big Mac came to the Pie family rock farm, there was another pony who caught Marble Pie's eye. That pony was very different from Big Mac... and at the time, so was Marble Pie. But her oldest sister, Limestone, was there to watch and to worry.

Defensibly contains spoilers for S5E20, despite being set earlier in time than that episode. Cover picture by senseidezzy.

Pinkie has been stressing over her feelings for Fluttershy and, after a little help from a few friends, she finally acts upon them.

Sunset Shimmer's life has been on the up and up. She turned from her past, made new friends, and is now passing the magic of friendship to others, including this world's Twilight Sparkle.

Which is why, of course, this is all just a mistake. Things got a little out of hand, but it's over now. So now they can just move past this. Why, it'll be a funny story to tell in a few months.

Now has a spiritual sister story in So You've Just Seduced Your Best Friend. For more details on that, check here.

"Take my hand, Twilight," Sunset Shimmer once said, "Let me show you there's another way."

It's been three weeks since Twilight Sparkle joined her new friends at Canterlot High, and she really really really wants to hold hands with Sunset Shimmer again.

Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash have been dating for six months. Usually an occasion like that would be the perfect reason for a party, but the pink pony asks Rainbow to keep their relationship a secret.
What used to be a curious request to keep it a secret has now become nagging doubt that hangs over their relationship.
Rainbow is left wondering why Pinkie wouldn't want anypony to know.

This story is mostly just an excuse to write fluffy Pinkiedash.

Rarity can see it clearly.

The way Applejack laughs around Coloratura, the way she smiles. The way Coloratura hangs on Applejack's every word, the way her eyes light up whenever they glance at each other.

Friends since fillyhood, Applejack and Coloratura share a relationship deeper and more special than most ponies will ever know.

But Rarity and Applejack were fillyhood friends too. Shouldn't that be just as special?

Twilight Sparkle accidentally leaves her class with the wrong backpack. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, except that the backpack belongs to the one girl she's had the biggest crush on since moving to Canterlot High.
