Life for Applejack been rather tiresome lately. Her mechanical legs have been overheating more often, and the orchard is only half bucked. However, her luck has been looking up as the she has just learned that for the next three weeks she will be working alongside Lady Rarity, a mare she had admired from afar for years.

For Rarity this is a nightmare. It's middle of of the autumn fashion season, and now her father has forced her to work on a filthy apple farm. Whats worse is that the mare she is working alongside is acting... bizarre.

When Twilight Sparkle, a young Black Mage learn that an ancient Evil is preparing to return, she most go out and find a way to stop it, on her way she will meet friends, rival, allies and enemies while survirving countless of deadly monsters. Will she succeed in saving her world or fail trying.

Luna has struggled with Nightmare Moon's presence ever since her return, and has always been restricted by her, kept from doing anything for herself. She did make one friend though, and perhaps that friend could finally open her up and help her to find her way in society once more. Although, it's never just that simple, is it?

This isn't going to be updated regularly I don't think. I write when I get the feeling, so the gaps between chapters may be days or months (or years). Sorry.

Twilight Sparkle has prepared a marvelous gift for her former student, Starlight Glimmer, in celebration of her most recent triumph.

Spike has lived in Ponyville for 6 years, and Rarity has always been his crush, and love interest. But, once he finally musters the courage to tell her how he feels, she breaks his heart with her views on inter-species romance. Now, Spike must deal with the fact that the only one he's loved will never return his feelings. On top of that, Twilight starts to act strange around him, but she's not in heat like he thought she was. Will Spike's heart mend, or will he refuse to open his heart again?

PREPAIR THY HEART FOR THE TWISPIKE!!!

As Spike was left behind at the GGG, he decides to visit the parts of the castle he remembered from childhood. As he does so, he runs into Luna, who was making her way to the library not being interested in the party. Asking why Spike left the party, Spike tells Luna what happened. Luna decides to invite him to the library with her, seeing as she wouldn't mind having a friend to talk to. The conversation leads to Spike talking about how he felt used and hurt. Luna feeling sympathetic, asks Spike why he feels this way, causing Spike to tell his story, from the earliest moment he could remember to the present. Spike also mentions a secret to Luna (but you'll have to read to find out :P)

This Twilight Time, Sweetie Belle's magic practice goes a touch wrong.
