Rarity doesn't like dirt, she doesn't like dust. Grime and filth are a big no-no. And when it comes to mud, Rarity is usually seen moving at a full gallop in the opposite direction. So just how did she get herself into that muddy pit during the Sisterhooves Social?

In a city as corrupt as it is beautiful, a private investigator searches for her missing lover, a cop on the verge of busting open Canterlot's biggest crime syndicate.

But in order to find her beloved Twilight Sparkle, Rarity will have to enlist the help of Canterlot's former chief of police and Twilight's mentor, Celestia. And as the two race against the clock to save a life, they will have to ask themselves what's worth fighting for in a city that's already lost its soul.

(This story idea was a request.)

An upcoming charity rodeo event in Ponyville gives Applejack the perfect opportunity to show off her rodeo skills in front of an audience again. There's just one catch, she wants somepony else to do it with her to help drum up interest.

Rarity volunteers when no one else is available. But owing to her lack of experience with rodeos (or any sort of extreme outdoor activities), she seeks out the help of Ponyville's premiere athlete, Rainbow Dash, for some much needed coaching.

Rainbow agrees despite her concerns about Rarity's inexperience. Will Rarity be able to endure the training, and will Rainbow Dash's coaching be what Rarity needs most?

This is my fault – the student who needed me the most was the one I couldn't help.

I can't stop coming back here, to ponder where I went wrong, and what that means for both of us.

The worst part? How easily it could have been me... and why it wasn't.
