Rarity finally realizes that she has the same feelings for Spike... But it's too late...

Spike seems to have moved on, while Rarity is stuck impressing him and trying to get him to have feelings for her once again. What Rarity doesn't know is Spike still loves her, but he's getting sick and tired of the way she treats him, even though he's a teenager now. Will this be a roller coaster ride for both of our lovelies, or will it end horribly?

Got inspired by the episode Simple Ways... Don't ask... o3o

The eighteenth story in The Journey of Graves.

As the new year dawns, the top four cadets from Equestria's Royal Military Academy set eyes on enlisting in the elite peacekeeping force known as the marshals. After all, when you're the best in you class, it's obvious you belong with the best, right?

Not exactly. See, it's one thing to do well in school. It's another thing entirely to pass a test concocted by Gunmetal Graves himself. Strap in, cadets. Class is now in session.

Twilight's parents divorced seven years ago when she was ten. She went to live with her mother while her eight year old adoptive brother went to live with their father. Now that she's seventeen and moved to Ponyville Spike is moving from Manhattan to live with her and their mother. Looks like Pinkie is going to make a new friend, maybe more than a friend.

Many people have many theories about Scootaloo. Some think she's an orphan. Some think she's part of an abusive household. Others still worry that she's somepony's illegitimate offspring that's hidden away.

However, the truth is far from that. She has a loving mother and father, and she means the world to them both. They've gone to great lengths all for her.

However...they're just a little...strange. Especially since neither one is comfortable with coming out except at night.

Rated Teen for some adult language.

Partially inspired by this story by Colonel J.

The fifteenth story in The Journey of Graves.

So Rarity's spoken for. Expected. Not pleasant for dear, old, Spike of course, but expected nonetheless.

A few months after Graves and Rarity return as an official couple, Spike wonders just what is it about Graves that made it happen. Was it his age? Was it his job as a marshal? Was it the hat? Whatever it was, Graves has no idea, so it's up to Spike to figure out just what it takes to be a man.

Lyra has had to work a great deal in the pursuit of the elusive human, and the constant need for repairing her interdimentional devices and other contraptions has forced her to work all the harder. Being something close to a 'national weirdo' doesn't help much, either, and has only served to make the job market all the more tough. Fortunately, Lyra always has a plan. Having found a decent job in Canterlot, she has managed to earn at least more than two coins to rub together.

Everything seemed to be going according to plan...and actually it really was. Seriously, things were pretty swell. However, while absence can make the heart grow fonder, distance may also breed suspicion, and Bon Bon has been pretty frazzly lately. To help alleviate any concerns, Lyra has tried to arrive home on time as much as she can, but on one magical day everything seems to stack against her...

Among a series of events both pleasant and suckfest-tastic, Lyra finds that a particular pink pony's portentous pastry is pretty peculiar. No, not that cookie, The other cookie. The OTHER COOKIE. Alright, nevermind, I tried...

But what mysteries could this cookie hold? What kind of preternatural powers could it possess? What sort of strange madness could such a simple confect provide? Well, if you read this, you may very well find out.
