Rainbow Dash has always been loyal to her friends and Equestria. Such loyalty was unmatched, legendary even. That is, until the day she discovers a strange creature lying in the Everfree Forest. Her friendships are put to the test, when instead of simply handing the creature over to the princess, she finds herself caring for it in secret.

She soon learns that some secrets come with high costs. But is it really worth betraying a friend's life even if it means remaining loyal to the ones you already have?

Rated Teen for possible violence just in case. Random tag because I have a good idea where the story is headed, but I haven't worked out all the details.

"Derpy..." He knew he needed to say something, but, well...Words had never really been Thunderlane's strong suit. Taking a quick moment to think on what would be the right thing, he hunched down next to her, resting his cheek on his own forelegs as he peered at her. "I'm glad you're not part a my family."

Her muffled sob was a very clear indication that that was decidedly not what she wanted to hear.

This is a much longer follow up to How Sweet It Is. It will definitely make more sense if you read that first!

Spike becomes better acquainted with a certain Deejay pony.

Apple Bloom is left to handle the majority of the work on Sweet Apple Acres since Applejack and Big Macintosh have to leave to help out on another family farm for a couple of weeks. Granny Smith is helping out wherever she can, but the majority of the labor rests in Apple Bloom's hooves. While she's not the inexperienced filly she was years ago, does the young mare have what it takes to run the Apple family farm in Ponyville while her two older siblings are away, or will the monstrous load of work be too much for her?

NOTE: This work began before season 3 commenced. Certain elements of it, therefore, will clash with some of the developments of season 3 and onward (including things like Princess Twilight, the fate of Apple Bloom's parents, cutie marks, etc). With that in mind, enjoy!

The Doctor takes to the stars in this fourth installation of the Doctor Whooves Series.

When the TARDIS is unexpectedly pulled off course during her first foray into the wider universe, the Doctor, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and a somewhat-reluctant Twilight find themselves brought to the doorstep of a utopian alien city. While Rarity and Pinkie immerse themselves in two opposite ends of the local culture, questions that have gone unasked for centuries draw Twilight into the shadowy labyrinth of intrigue and deception that sustains a delicate balance of power in this "perfect" society. A balance that some will go to any lengths to preserve.

And as the mystery surrounding the cryptic messages left in the Doctor’s path continues to unfold, will the growing schism of distrust between Time Lord and Friendship Scholar over unspoken secrets cost both ponies more than either of them are prepared to lose?

Prequel To These Dreams and Renew.

Twilight begins having weird dreams after returning home from the wedding of her brother and new sister-in-law. Her dreams seem to be having a connection with Discord in them. What exactly is going on here and why is she having dreams related to him? And is she feeling regret having him to be trapped in stone for eternity?

It will become DISCOLIGHT soon.

Because of his folly, Discord was imprisoned in stone. If only he hadn't gone to the castle that night, maybe everything would have turned out okay. Now, he's trapped with only his memories to keep him company.

If there's one thing that Discord cherished as a child, it was his friendship with the princesses. But as time goes on, Discord's relationship with the one he holds the most dear will be strained, as he goes on a path of self discovery that tempts him with his own chaotic power.

ATTENTION: To the like.. 19 people who have read it so far, Chapter Three has undergone some rather large tweaks. I feel as though this way it is largely more coherent, a little less ridiculous, flows a tad better, and leads into the next chapter on a much more epic note. So yeah, you may want to re-read it.

It is in very ancient times (around 5,000 years before the first Hearth's Warming Eve) and the ponies and draconequuses who once shared Equestria are now in a great war between Queen Faust with the Elements of Harmony and King Draconerus with the Elements of Chaos. The war just seems like endless bloodshed, but everything seems to change when two babies are born on the same day, Celestia and Discord. Are these two destined to be with each other or to be mortal enemies?

-The prologue is extremely rushed because it's not the actual story it's just trying to cram a whole bunch of background information in 4 paragraphs because to explain it all in great detail would take me about 20 paragraphs, but the ideas will be better explained throughout the story, so don't let the pace throw you off just read for the ideas.

While the mane six were off saving Equestria from Discord's reign of chaos, how did the other ponies fair? What were the other various trials of chaos that our everyday ponies went through?
