This story is a sequel to Learning ABCs - Adorable, Bothersome, Chaotic

Ever since Discord did NOT tell Twilight just who planted the seeds that nearly threw entire Equestria in disarray, Twilight has been giving this secretive relationship-y thingy some serious thought. But it is hard to hold Discord down from doing what he wants and getting what he wishes. It is going to be hard to juggle his chaotic persona with the harmonic balance of the kingdom she was chosen to rule.

It is also probably going to be quite funny.

Spike has secrets. Secrets he isn't proud of. Secrets which clog up his thoughts to the point of needing to shout them out... This is why he has a diary. He converts all rage, hate, worry, fear, embarrassment and even crushes to simple text on a page. But this has continued to the extent that he is paranoid of anypony reading a single word of it...

So what happens when the diary mysteriously disappears?

Diamond Tiara has a secret. She likes Anime. Loves it, even. But nopony can find out. Not her parents, or her friend, or her classmates... Nopony! They'd never understand! They'd laugh at her, call her names, tell her *gasp* They would say she's uncool!

Well, it can't be that hard to keep such a secret from everypony in Ponyville, can it?

Spike finds a book entitled "The Metamorphoses of Love". In it details unethical methods for capturing the heart of another mare. When Spike decides to delve more into the book's secrets, he realizes he may finally have a chance with his one and only love, Rarity. But what happens when he actually executes these methods? Do his efforts bare fruit? Or are other mares going to end up falling for him in the long run?

You know what? Thinking about it now, I don't know if I actually want to tell this story anymore. It's just too painful recounting the events leading to Spike's hilarious plunge into madness.

Spike has developed a crush on Pinkie Pie. He's been able to keep it hidden pretty well. But when the truth of his affections slips out, Pinkie Pie's reaction befuddles everypony. She offers to go out with him! Why? Because it could be fun! Can Spike survive Pinkie Pie's spontaneity? Or will he collapse under the madness? Who knows?!

Spike loses a bet to Snips and Snails. The consequence? Ask Scootaloo out on a date. But what starts off as a frivolous punishment for the baby dragon ends up becoming much more rewarding than he ever expected.

Spike becomes better acquainted with a certain Deejay pony.

The first episode of The Gems Trilogy.

Sweetie Belle attempts to deal with the realization that she's developed a crush on Spike. Meanwhile, Spike's own feelings are in flux.

Six years after the events of "Love Will Set You Free", the peace in Ponyville is disturbed as an ancient prophecy seems to be coming true, involving eight new elements - of which only four are known.

"Love Will Set You Free" should be read first, otherwise the story will make little sense in some places. Also, as in that story, this one's chapters are titled after songs from the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest, as is the story as a whole.

Character tags mostly include characters new to "L'amore è femmina". For characters returning from "Love Will Set You Free", please refer to that story's character tags - they all apply to this one as well.
