Snapshots in the life of a cowpony and a weather manager.

Heavily inspired by TheLastBrunnenG's Thirty Minute Ponies collections. Unstarred chapters are edited and expanded from minifics originally posted for the AppleDash group. *Starred* chapters are wholly unique to this collection.

Chapters are arranged in chronological order and new chapters may not always appear last. Going to consider this functionally complete.

Scene change markers scaled down from here.

In class, there's a certain pink-haired girl who sits behind you, and she won't stop pestering you. She pokes you, pranks you, talks constantly, and is very loud. When you get partnered with her for a project, you assume life will be hell for the next two weeks.

When she invites you over to her house to work, however, your initial image of her is shattered. But maybe that's not such a bad thing. In fact, it just might be the most wonderful thing to ever happen to you.

1st installment of the The Cute, the Fluffy, and Romantic

WARNING: May contain lots of fluff

Losing the defining thing that makes you who you are would be hard for anypony. Where do you go from there? How do you cope? How do your friends? How hard is it to start from scratch? Rainbow Dash never had to worry about these things. Not until the worst storm in Equestrian history. Now she has to cling to that which she still has, and discover for herself that there is much more out there to live for than she originally believed.

When Rainbow Dash crashes into an impromptu sleepover at Twilight's library, the unicorn seems to be acting strangely, though Dash doesn't think too much of it. As usual, the pegasus has little thought for the feelings of those around her. Some ponies are just oblivious.

Twilight's Research into Divination magic has given Rarity a vision about her future love. Will she interpret the portents correctly?

Sunset Shimmer discovers how difficult it can be to admit something so blissfully childish as a crush.

This story is set in the EQG universe, but one or two liberties are taken for coherence. Therefore, it is AU.

I'm sorry in advance, ImperatorTempus42 made me do it.

Twilight left for an official trip with Princess Celestia, leaving Rainbow Dash at home, utterly heartbroken. She said she would be gone for a full month, and all that she left for her pegasus was a magical stone, tied to the end of short, golden chain. It is an amethyst pendant, created specifically for her use, and its spell can only be used when the time is right.
