Rainbow Dash didn't remember much of the night the Infection happened, she just remembers screaming and fire and ponies being tackled to the ground and bitten by the infected. She had just turned thirteen that horrible night. She had just turned thirteen when she learned to survive, when she learned to kill.

Now fifteen, the young Rainbow Dash has been stuck in Ponyville for a month or so with no plans of leaving, or dying, anytime soon.

Unfortunately for her, the Infected have different plans.

(Rated teen for well.. Gore (duh) and strong language.)

Applejack's tired of Rainbow's antics so she decides to do something about them.

It's carnival time in Ponyville. Every-pony's going...every-pony except three little fillies. When the CMC yet again thought to look for their cutie marks they encounter an odd slight. A carnival. In the middle of the Everfree though. When looking around the strange carnival doors they are welcomed by an odd stallion. They without thinking buy tickets. Welcome to the carnival of shadows. Remember... stay for our grand finale.

Applejack needs a full night of sleep for apple bucking tomorrow. It's too bad that Rainbow Dash's restlessness isn't letting her get a single wink.

A month after the gryphon attack led by Gilda. Rainbow Dash and Applejack had lived happily in their relationship. But AJ's family turns her away for her affection to the cyan mare, and forces fueled by chaos gather to overtake the Mane Six. The sequel to Dive Bombs "Broken", a AppleDash ponyfiction.

Dive Bomb inspired me to make this sequel, and granted me permission. Dive is now also gone from ponyfiction, please read his stories, they are worth it I swear.

Rainbow Dash had grown used to hiding her feelings for her friend until one dream shakes her to the core. Now she is up all hours of the night, unable to eat, sleep or even fly right. However, her pain is nothing compared to the oncoming threat to Ponyville. A griphon regime is rising, vengeance of years of oppression in their eyes. An AppleDash story with a side of chaos.

A seemingly innocent slumber party goes awry when six best friends engage in a game of competitive dares, testing the limits of their friendship, their will, and eventually uncovering the truth about the death of a fellow student. From uncomfortable situations to theft to sexual encounters, the night becomes one debacle after another, and all of it is on video tape.
Eventual AppleDash, FlutterMac. Some mature content. Based on the movie of the same name.

All except for Applejack and Rainbow Dash, that is. Now it's up to the only two remaining Elements of Harmony to uncover the dark machinations behind their friends' disappearances. Will they put aside their differences and work together?

Looking for a cinnamon substitute, Applejack brings Dash out into the Everfree forest. While there, the ground opens up and takes them into another world with new ponies, new dangers, and a war, centuries old. And this battle certainly won't stop for the two confused mares.

Yes, this will eventually lead to Appledash.
