After losing the presidential election, Mitt Romney decided to become the greatest rapper in the entire universe. So when MC Twilight starts thinking she's hot stuff, it's up to him to put her in her place. Rap will never be the same again.

This story is a sequel to Dust Bowl Dance

It's been three years since Spike and Big Macintosh joined the war. Spike has a secret that is the cause of his joining the war that he feels would destroy his friendships, but can it stay hidden? King Sombra has returned and has joined forces with the duke of the drakos. The Elements of Harmony are called in to defeat Sombra who is turning the war in favor for the drakos, and Spike's squad is called in to protect them. Sombra has a grudge against the purple drakos, and leverage.

Spike left three years ago, and nopony knew where he went. He has finally come back home, back to Ponyville, but it's not the same. Only Rainbow Dash and Rarity remain in the town and a gangster now runs the town, Bloody Rich. Spike takes it as his mission to save the town and chase Bloody out, and maybe patch things up with his friends, but can he? A secret lurks in Spike's heart that Rarity cannot dig out, and if it does come out, could they still look at him?

Have you ever woken up somewhere you don't recognize? I have, once before. This time was not all that different. Headache? Check. Dry mouth? Check. Upset stomach? Check. Hooves? Uhm, that one is new.

Hi, I'm Bruce and I'm 32. Currently, I'm in a light blue Earth Pony foal's body no one has ever seen before. The rest of Equestria thinks I'm 9 and something really traumatic happened to me. It doesn't help I swear like a sailor and I could really go for a smoke right about now. I just hope that the Everfree Forest, rampaging monstrosities, evil dark abominations against God and the Cutie Mark Crusaders don't kill me before I have just one last drag.

Oh, and ponies are hella creepy when you really think about it. Geez.

A little comedy side project. EDIT: HAHA Main project. More characters to be added if I get that far. Categories might be refined as I write. Entire thing is unplanned except vaguely. Don't Expect excessive cursing to be written out, just hinted at. Oh, and as the character is a 30-ish year old in the body of a 9 year old, sexual jokes might exists but sex itself will not occur.

Special thanks to user Momomojito for the awesome-tastic picture! First fanart, I'm so HAPPY. I've gotten more since then! I should collect it all here. Collected!

Girls repulse you. All those tea parties and cooties and pink bows and stuff. A smart ten year old colt like yourself wants nothing to do with them! You're perfectly happy playing with your model train set. But when the Cutie Mark Crusaders chase you down to discover the secrets of gaining a Cutie Mark, you find there's more to those fillies than you think. Especially their ringleader, Apple Bloom.

Still mopey after Rarity married a faraway Prince, Spike spends his teenage dragon days in bed eating ice cream. Twilight annoyed by his dreary behavior, gets help from a friend to set Spike up on a date. The lucky mare? One of Equestria's fastest rising Deejays!

When Applejack is left alone to run the farm, she gets some unexpected help from Spike. As the two spend time together, Spike starts to see Applejack in a new way he'd never thought was possible. What are these feelings, and what will become of the two friends?

This was credited on DeviantART as the first AppleSpike (Applejack X Spike) fic. I don't know how many other AppleSpike fics are here, so maybe somepony can help me out.

I don't own these characters; they are the property of Hasbro and Lauren Faust. Story by me.

Each has had their own hardship to face. Each has an attachment they need to keep. And each has only one night left to make sure their feelings are known.

Twilight Sparkle is leaving for a year, to travel throughout the world and study with masters of magic scattered across Equestria. Spike, after an accident that put him in a strange position, has had to choose between his oldest friends, or the ones he's made over the years. Pinkie Pie is reacting more violently than any of her friends thought she would. And Rarity, all the while, is trying to deal with reemerging feelings that she thought she'd not needed.

With one night before Twilight's departure, the four try to make their last night together matter, each in their own way. And in the end, they will come out of it changed for the rest of their lives.

My one shot at a one-shot (oh god the puns!). I hope this is as good as I want it to be, which is selfish, but that's what this is about.

I do not own My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, yada yada yada, etcetera etcetera. I think you get the point, so I'll stop wasting your time and let you move on to the story.
