Inspired by her favourite books, and keen to settle once and for all who's the fastest, bravest, overall best pony around here, Rainbow Dash challenges Applejack to a race full of perils and pitfalls. To the winner, the title of Most Awesome Pony. To the loser, defeat, shame and ignominity. But when the dangers start getting a little too real, they have to decide what's more important. Victory, or friendship.

To every resident of Ponyville, the Everfree forest is considered the most dangerous place in the area. It is filled with a plethora of wicked, flesh-hungry beasts that lurk in the shadows of the trees. The bravest of ponies are also considered the most sane and even they do not enter without a plan. Apple Bloom, a resident of Ponyville, decided that she'd help her sister and pay Zecora a quick visit. However, she didn't intend on staying until the sun went down.

A collab with, electreXcessive. A big thanks to him for coming up with the idea and letting me help him expand it! He's a good writer. Please, check him out and give him the attention he deserves!

Apple Bloom has a very important classroom duty, at least according to Miss Cheerilee.

A commissioned story, bought by benzema2912, who liked what I did with Pump It Up, and decided to see how I handled other growth scene. As such, obviously, this contains growth. Specifically of Scootaloo, thought the other CMC are indeed involved in it.

Applebloom and Sweetie Belle want to help Scootaloo out with her little problem of being the only pegasus in Ponyville unable to get her head into the clouds. As such they ask Zecora for some help, and get a potion to rectify the situation. Of course, as they things often do when involving the three, things get out of hoof, and Scootaloo finds herself growing up, instead of flying there. Read on dear viewer, and see where this growth ends...if it ever does.

Miss Cheerilee informs Applejack that she never passed elementary mathematics. Since every pony in Equestria is legally required to understand rudimentary math, Applejack must retake and pass a basic exam in order to avoid going back to school.

Sounds simple enough, right?

Applejack teaches her little sister an age-old family craft: how to knock an annoying and sleeping pegasus out of your apple tree.

This is a gift for a good friend of mine, Nobody47.
