Twilight has been thrust into a prominent role in equestrian society; a role for which she is woefully unprepared. With her coronation only three weeks away, she must prepare herself to meet the expectations of a nation. Thankfully, her friends are on hoof to provide her with their unwavering support on the run up to this momentous occasion.

However is their help what Twilight really needs? She wants to be a good princess, but is she willing to reinvent her entire personality to do so? Can anypony truly understand what she's going through?

As with any couple, Lyra and Bon Bon experience problems and have disagreements. Be it past marefriends or financial distress, the pair must confide within one another to save both each other, and themselves. Theoretically, love conquers all, but love alone doesn't put bits on the table.

When Rainbow Dash agrees to temporarily care for an abandoned foal, she ends up getting more than she bargained for. Under the scrutiny of the public eye, Rainbow Dash has to try and bring up little Taboo right.

Failing once in her attempt to take Canterlot and failing again in her attempt to take down Twilight, one would think Chrysalis would have cut her losses and let things be, but the queen has once again appeared, this time in broad daylight with no disguise and no army. Her weapon of choice? Diplomacy.

Now Twilight is having to deal with the changeling queen, but surely putting up with her antics will be worth the knowledge she's willing to provide about her mysterious race and the potential undiscovered agents still within their midst...right?

Takes place before Magical Mystery Cure and diverges from there.

Twilight thought she had gotten all the surprises she could in life after she had gone from being a unicorn into an Alicorn, then finding out about a world where all those she knew in this world had human doubles.

She was wrong.

Zecora makes a sudden visit late one night after the Plumber Plants have been dealt with. What she has to tell Twilight shocks the Alicorn to the bone. Zecora is pregnant, and Twilight is the father.

However, Twilight isn't the only one of her friends now facing sudden parenthood.

I know i've already written one where Zecora is pregnant with AJ's child, but i couldn't resist this one

Lyra and Bon-Bon want to have children, but being mares, they cannot conceive one. However, a young filly without a home may well become the daughter of two loving mothers.

Lyra finds said filly one evening and offers her a stay at their place for the night, but caring for the filly brings maternal instincts to life

rated teen, just in case

The Cutie Mark Crusaders have been the best of friends for the longest time now. They've done countless stunts and gone on many exciting adventures together, all in an attempt to find their special talents and earn their Cutie Marks. As a result, it'd only be natural for a certain unicorn to begin to develop feelings for a certain pegasus...right?

Applejack is a simple farmer, Rarity is a complex and up-and-coming fashionista; two very different personalities and two very different lifestyles. So different that they had very little contact or interaction with one another until a certain lavender unicorn came to town and six near strangers became the best of friends.

Can Applejack and Rarity learn to get along or are they just too different? This is the story of a simple farmer and not so simple fashionista....
