Sometimes, you just need a little quiet. Soarin needed to think. He had already decided what he was going to do, heck, he had known it since the day he met her. It was so peaceful in the sky. No disturbances. Just endless, cool silence. He knew what he had to do.

Because he loved her.

Because he was never going to let her go.

Because if the sky was burning and the light was fading and the world was falling down, she would be the only thing on his mind.

And god be damned if he was about to let her go.

Cheerilee has always loved being a teacher. Helping young minds to blossom is what she does best.

So what's a mare like her to do when the EEA pays her a visit and requests that she take a day off from her job? A day off from teaching for the first time in forever, or so it feels.

Well, Cheerilee will soon discover that there are some things she can do that don't relate to teaching, things that should keep her plenty busy for a day. And maybe it'll awaken something new inside of her.

A young teenage mare falls in love with her rivals neighbor, Bright Mac. But, will their relationship be ruined by their families?
Edit: OMG My Story got featured? Thxs so much!

This unforeseen occurrence had proven itself to be Sunny Starscout’s most challenging circumstance yet! What options are available to her? What is she to do? Can she rely on the power of friendship to save the day and deliver her out of this scary situation?

In an attempt to put to rest a nagging question Twilight keeps bringing up, Rainbow Dash agrees to do some genealogical research into her family tree. Imagine her surprise when she finds out that Daring Do is a part of it.

In fact, Daring Do isn't some distant relative or lost cousin, she's the younger sister of Windy Whistles. A revelation that has never before been disclosed for reasons unknown.

Armed with this knowledge, Rainbow sets out to get some answers from none other than the newly discovered link herself, Daring Do. There must be a good reason why she's neglected to inform Rainbow of their shared connection all this time, right?

(An indirect tribute to Sir Sean Connery.)

Sunny believed the tales. Really believed, in a way that most ponies didn't anymore. About the Elements of Harmony, and about Twilight Sparkle. Back when Equestria had princesses, and was whole, when every creature knew the real power of Friendship. She believed⁠—and she knew that, one day, if she believed hard enough, it could be again.

Elsewhere, distant, Twilight Sparkle watches her would-be student, and frets.

Zipp and Pipp have always been distant sisters. Their interests never aligned, and rarely did they spend time in each other's company when their mom wasn't involved. But after returning from an adventure and making friends with earth ponies and a unicorn, the two royals have an important question to answer: are they sisters, or are they family?

This story is a sequel to Your Faithful Disciple

Izzy Moonbow has always been a dreamer. Her imagination is boundless, and her energy bottomless. Most of her family and friends have learned to take what she says with a grain of salt. So when Izzy starts talking about her dream of the mare with the mane made of stardust, most everypony goes on with their lives. Magical manes? Alicorn princesses? Myths; relics of bygone history. 

But Izzy knows that Luna is real. And Luna has a dream…
