Twas the night before Hearths Warming, and there was only one thing she wanted this year: Apple Bloom.

It's been three months since Vinyl was forced to move out of Octavia's house.
The cellist couldn't handle the constant arguments that were filling their daily lives together.
Octavia's friends and family support her decision to get away from the DJ by offering all the help she needs.... even a bit too much....

Octavia still gets angry whenever Vinyl Scratch, or anything related to her (like her wub-powered dishwasher) is ever mentioned in a conversation. She wants her friends and family to stop pestering her about it for that part of her life is done.....
....
..... Or is it?

Just a silly idea I got while cycling back home two days ago.... What's the correlation between the theme of the story and cycling?
Honestly, I'm still searching...

Anyway, Second real PONY Fiction. and WITHOUT the AU tag THIS TIME!!!!

Fluttershy discovers a cheerleader outfit, a nice gift from Angel that literally fell out the sky. She's already been worrying about her upcoming date with Big Mac, their one month anniversary, and she wonders what to do. Fluttershy decides to put the outfit to its proper use. Meanwhile, the Cutie Mark Crusaders are up to no good as usual.

This is inspired by the many "Pony X Discovers/Makes/Uses a Y" stories that have proliferated lately such as those by Art Inspired. It's also inspired by a particular image posted by Braeburned on /mlp/ as well as a classic piece of 80s pop. Thanks for reading.

The challenge? Daunting. The reward? Worthy. Failure? Not an option. For Big Macintosh has accepted the bet, and thus begins A Ballad of Eeyup and Nope - in which he isn't allowed to say either.

Twilight has developed a device that can detect strange signals coming from outer space; signals from aliens! She gathers her friends so that they can all listen in.

But they may not like what they hear...

I'd appreciate if everyone could keep the YouTube embeds in the comments to a minimum. The sheer number of them is putting a bit more strain on my connection than I'd like. I'm going to start deleting any comments with 2 or more embeds in them.

One foggy morning in Ponyville, the residents wake up to find their deepest darkest secrets sloppily written in red paint on their homes. No one knows who the culprit was, the only thing that the town knows is that it will not come off, no matter how hard you scrub. The town is baffled, humiliated, and in shambles. But no more than Twilight and her friends.

In a time where everything you fought to keep hidden is out into the open, will you embrace your faults or sins, or will you let them consume just who you really are?

Time to fess up, Ponyville.
