Rainbow Dash is hopelessly, head-over-heels in love. So, the obvious solution is to ask the mare in question out.

Easy peasy, right?

Stories of someone coming back from the dead are a staple in every culture. For most, they are little more than fairy tales and rumours, passed down over generations. Any truth to them lost to the ages.

For Rainbow Dash, they're her only lead. Her only chance to see her friend again. They lead her to a strange mare who knows things she shouldn't, setting Rainbow Dash on a journey through a world no living pony was ever meant to see. She will stop at nothing to bring Twilight Sparkle home.

Rainbow Dash keeps a short diary after she returns to Ponyville.

Mother's Day, a special day for mothers from all walks of life. And for a certain group of friends in Ponyville, it's about to get even more special!

Pinkie Pie is able to convince her friends to get all of their moms together for one great big Mother's Day celebration in Ponyville. And all five moms agree, despite the fact that only one of them is actually native to Ponyville.

However, as the preparations get under way and the big day arrives, there's a particular pony who isn't looking forward to the celebration or Mother's Day in general. It's an unexpected pony with an unusual family situation. Little does she suspect that this Mother's Day will change the way she approaches the holiday.

The Winged Hussars are the greatest warriors of history. You think a situation is bad, that you can’t escape? Just wait for the Winged Hussars.

They arrive, and they save you. It doesn’t even matter what dimension you’re in.

Long ago, Commander Hurricane set an example that still resonates with all pegasi who fall in love with their ground bound kin. Every pegasus knows the story, the tradition is deeply engrained and held dear to their hearts.

Now, if only Twilight could curb her curiosity long enough to enjoy and appreciate just how important she is to Rainbow.

This story is a sequel to The Challenge

Rainbow Dash has been happily engaged to Princess Twilight Sparkle, the love of her life, for several months. She's taken her on Hurricane's Way and shared in the rites of pegasus courtship. Too bad she forgot to tell mom and dad before they found out by reading the paper.

But that's just fine. It gives them the perfect excuse to go visit their little Dashie and meet the mare who stole her heart and became the wind beneath her wings.

This story is a sequel to Hurricane's Way

It's no secret that pegasi have a long, proud history as the warrior tribe. Their race boasts some of ponykind's greatest military minds, fearless legions that struck fear into the hearts of any who dared oppose them with their mighty lightning lancers and thunderhead squads.

Honor, duty, and protecting their own kind were the very foundation of the old legions, a notion that holds true to this very day. The strong protect the weak, and the weak stay safe under wing, grateful for their care.

But just how do they make such a big decision? Who determines the stronger pony out of two so closely bonded?

For all those questions, there is but one answer:

The Challenge.

Twilight wakes up to be greeted by an old friend. So old it raises some poignant questions. Good thing Rainbow Dash is here to answer them.
