The Grand Galloping Gala is approaching and everypony is looking forward to it! At least, they should be. But for some the stress is mounting with every day that passes. Can they accept help from those who love them? And what if they happen to meet somepony new?

In an alternate path where Applejack had never witnessed the Sonic Rainboom during her filly-hood years, she continues to stay in Manehattan and tries her best to adjust to city life. An outsider in a world she had never known, her struggle had some reprieve when she met some-pony who would be her friend for life.

Cherry Jubilee’s lived in Dodge Junction her whole life. She knows the ropes—she’s tied them twenty times over.

Somepony comes into the shop with pretty makeup running all down her face. It's no hard decision of what to do next.

Written for the New Blood Contest, where it tied for third place. Uses the bonus "an unusual matchup."

With the Helping Hooves Concert in their rearview, Applejack and Coloratura decide to catch up a bit before she has to leave. Before either can move on, though, some feelings need to be put out in the open.

Thanks to Steel Resolve, ZOMG, and Timaeus for prereading!

Coloratura tells Applejack of a mistake she made int he past after Svengallops true nature is revealed to her. She then tried to make amends with a few old friends and her first mentor when she was introduced to show business with Applejack as moral support.

But a lot of time has passed since then, and Coloratura fears it maybe too late to say sorry.

This story is a sequel to Aria's Aria

After one of them listens to a new album and looks at its cover, the Rainbooms are shocked to see that the singer may be one of the Dazzlings. Meanwhile Aria Blaze is a relatively new rising star, complete with a rivalry of sorts.

Takes place between Rainbow Rocks and Friendship Games.
(Note: Despite the Mane 6 Humane 7 tag, there is no Twilight Sparkle in this story. I would've gone with a Humane 5 tag if we had one. There's not enough space to tag them individually/tagging them individually would overstate their role.)

Music was always a part of Coloratura's life, a deep passion permeating her very identity and driving everything she does. For years it was silenced, buried under great wealth and even greater fame by a meaningless character she was forced to play.

For the first time in ages, Coloratura hears that passion once more.

Spitfire has really done it this time. Why couldn't she just keep her mouth shut and admit that she doesn't have anyone new in her life? And why did she have to take Soarin's challenge and introduce her 'date' at the Christmas Party?

Thankfully, she can rent a date pretty easily. And perhaps, this might lead to something more.

Sex tag mark is for lewd imagery as well as certain dialogue. No actual sex in this story.
