And suddenly she was falling. Her mind was blank with shock, and she watched as the thick clouds of fog succumb her. Her pale blue wings hit against the nearly solid fog clouds. She saw a lightning streak head for the finish line and she knew that she had lost. An image of the turquoise mare in a bright Wonderbolts outfit drained into her mind, another with her in the back, a look of defeat etched on her tired face. Yellow eyes met magenta ones. "You will never be a Wonderbolt." it snapped.

No. Her wings unfurled and beat quickly through the thick air. I will be a Wonderbolt.

I changed the genre because it didn't feel like much of a "slice-of-life"

This story is a sequel to Bad Habit

The age of technology has hit Equestria. Ponies everywhere are connecting in ways they never felt imaginable. In this world of constant digital connection, Apple Bloom is learning that things change as you get older. A new Equestria is being made, and that means a new Ponyville is coming with it, but young Apple Bloom isn't certain if she's ready to let go of the old Ponyville first.

A story about growing up and coming of age. The third installment in the Cutie Mark Crusader's saga, and almost a year in the making, "Advance" is the sequel to "Bad Habit" and "Like Me".

Magic works in strange ways, and seems to manifest in every pony differently. It's always about how one uses their gifts that magic has given them that matters. Sweetie Belle has learned one thing for certain in the past few years, and that is some gifts can quickly turn into a curse.

Update 2/27/12: Fixed a flaw related to the "Sweetie only tried once", complaint. It now explains she attempted a few times.
Also minor grammatical errors.

Twilight Sparkle's friends have lived long and happy lives. Now their time is coming to an end, but Rainbow Dash, at least, will not go gently. Twilight has the power to save her friend's life. Is it worth violating the natural order?

"The things that pull at your heart—the memorial in the prologue, the wedding in Chapter 1, the births and deaths and relationships to come—are not the point of the story: they are the stakes, and the story is at its heart about a decision that must be made."

Rainbow Dash graduates from the Wonderbolt Academy. After many weeks of training, she falls in love with Soarin, her instructor. However, when war breaks out and the Wonderbolts have to join the Equestrian Royal Army, Rainbow Dash and Soarin's love for each other and their loyalty for their kingdom are tested.

This story was inspired by the song Violet Hill by Coldplay, as well as the rest of the Viva La Vida album. It takes place after the Wonderbolt Academy episode, not including Alicorn Twilight Sparkle or anything after season 3. Rated teen for a few suggestive jokes and moments of intimacy, but nothing mature.

First Story: Violet Hill.
Second Story: Til Kingdom Come.

Rainbow Dash's ancestor from the past pays her a visit. Why does Rainbows family have the rainbow mane trait almost nopony else has? Who is Moonstar and why is he here? Who knows? One unicorn tells the story of how her family got their rainbow mane.

Rainbow Dash is visited by Soarin not too long after the Royal Wedding. The two decide to spend some time together... But Dash gets confused about her feelings, so she goes around trying to figure out what the hay is going on. As much as she hates to admit it, she's pretty clueless when it comes to romance. Unfortunately, so are most of her friends, but Rarity knows what to tell her- And Rainbow Dash isn't quite so willing to accept the truth.

Umm... Very first pony fanfic, I guess. Please, feel free to give constructive criticism. I won't take offense. And if you should choose to thumbs down it please say why, it might help me be a better writer. :)

...unless you just don't like the SoarinDash ship, in which case, why are you reading this?

Rated Teen for some language. Some. Maybe. Also for some hinted sexual themes and sex jokes. It's not going to be too bad though.

(Overused Warning) many people have written about how the mane six, or five at that time, came to be, but no one knew a definite answer until now. This is the real documentation of how Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and Rainbow Dash met. (Again, Overused Warning)

Another Hearts & Hooves day is coming up, and Soarin has the perfect plan set up! Stay in his bed the whole day, with his face buried in his pillow, bawling his eyes out in hopes that nothing horrible will happen this year. What? That doesn't sound perfect? Well, of course it doesn't. But for him, its the best he can do. Years and years of being cursed with horrible dates and even worse Hearts & Hooves days will lead a colt to this. He's tried fellow Wonderbolts, fanmares, old friends, speed-dating, and countless other things. Each date was different, but they all shared one thing: Miserable, miserable failure. He has no plans on trying again. Ever. However, Spitfire won't sit and watch him mope. She knows one mare he may have a chance with, one mare that won't end horribly. Her name is Rainbow Dash.

After being basically thrown off Cloudsdale, Soarin aims to go on the perfect date with Rainbow. She really is all he really wants, and he's had feelings for her since he met her at the Gala. With help from a certain romantic dragon and old friend from Appleloosa, he'll strive to make this year's Hearts and Hooves Day perfect. He's got enough time to set it up, and Cadence's Hearts & Hooves Gala is nearing, so he has to do this right. But somepony's working behind the strings, and they want to see Soarin fail.

Dates will be made! Friendships will be tested! Pies will be eaten! And lots of other stuff! But everyone is driven by one thing: The Power of Love!

The cover image is not mine. It belongs to whoever made it. Der. Rated teen for language and some adult themes.

This story is a sequel to Bad Luck

So I just realized that my OC, Starlight, from this 3-year-old story, shares her name with Starlight Glimmer, who was recently introduced to the show. Small world, I guess?

Rainbow Dash, Thunder Flash and Soarin are back in the FOURTH sequel to Bad Luck, following Huge Mistake!

In the previous story, Rainbow had given birth to an alicorn. This is what happens when the family and friends try to uncover some answers. What could it mean? Is there anything royal about Rainbow or Soarin? What don't they know? Why am I asking you this?
