Some memories aren't lost forever; they simply become part of the background.

There was only one explanation. For all of it. All of the strange, erratic behavior. Her irrational fear of the sun. Her nocturnal habits of locking herself in in the dark and closing all the blinds. Wearing her sunglasses everywhere, even inside! It was time to invest in some silver, garlic, and a wooden stake.

Pinkie Pie has made it her mission to make everypony smile. So when she finds Derpy Hooves alone and crying, she tries to cheer her up by baking muffins with her. But what happens when there is an unexpected visit from the Princess?
No shipping. Later appearances by the rest of the main cast.

Spitfire has always been known to as the fearless Captain of the Wonderbolts. However, it wasn't always that way. When Spitfire is confronted by her best friend on a stormy night, she is forced to relive her worst memories and reopen wound that she previously thought had healed.

Author's Notes:
Kind of a one-shot I did after a 'spur-of-the-moment' inspiration from seeing Spittfire's tumblr (its really amazing) and realizing that there are few non-shipping Spitfire and Soarin fics. So I wrote this! I did not really get any proofreaders for this so I'm sure there's mistakes somewhere in there. Although it isn't my best piece (far from it), I'm pretty proud of how this came out!

As usual, leave comments, (constructive) criticisms and other stuff in the comments. I read all of them!

I hope everypony enjoys this story!

Edit 1: Italicized the flashbacks from the feedback! Hopefully this makes it easier to read!

A SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING THIS STORY:

It occurs within the fanfiction universe from The return of Nightmare Moon, A filly's tale and the secret to mah success but is not in any way directly connected to it. there will be references but i do not plan on making this a confirmed continuation of the series! this event simply occurs within the universe i have created.^^

When your life is as dull a gray as the world that surrounds you, the mundanities can make it all seem meaningless. Sometimes all we need is a little color -- or six -- to reintroduce us to what truly makes life worth living.

*6-16-2017 Edit, added Rainbow Dash tag because it triggered knighty.*
