This story is a sequel to A Sleeping Rose

Lily's conspiracy newspaper said that there was a monster near Ponyville, and while it was mostly wild speculation, town gossip said that Ginger Gold suddenly had somebody—something—unexpected working in her woodlot.

Lily had her thoughts about that, and so did I. Assuming it actually existed, would Ginger Gold hire it if it was really a monster? I didn’t think so, but the only way to find out was to see for myself.

In Ponyville's local flower shop, three ponies were looking forward to a nice relaxing day going through their orders and sales. This was going to be a good relaxing morning. However, this is Ponyville, where anything big and small can happen.

No one told Lily that when a fairytale opportunity arrives, it is probably too good to be true. Now she is just a sinking ship, nothing more. This is what happens when a prince and a florist meet.

After purchasing a pin-up calender for a nature fundraiser, Fluttershy develops a crush on one of its subjects. They're just so subdued, so elegant, and yet still so confident and charismatic... They're everything Fluttershy is and everything she is not in one beautiful package.

When Twilight "offers" to introduce the two, it seems like a dream come true. After all, this is destiny; they're a perfect match, meant to be together.

What could possibly go wrong?

What can go wrong?

Artist: Holivi

When their cart breaks down at the market, Applejack begins to suspect that something may be wrong in Roseluck's household. An entry for the thousand words contest. Stop crying this is serious. CW: implied abuse.

The old potionmaker lives deep in the woods with her adopted daughters Lily and Daisy. Their days together are simple and sweet, and the flowers in their garden bloom every summer without fail. But in the darkness of the Everfree something else is stirring, and its roots stretch deep.

Written for the Q&S Flower Ponies Contest.

TW: Some gore and horror.

Lily Valley understands the pain of living with roommates. Sitting down one morning with cereal already poured, she's confronted with the horror of being out of milk. She's sure it must have been Roseluck again, but whatever the case she needs to go buy more. Will she brave the streets of Ponyville to claim her mundane prize? Or will she bring home something much more valuable?

Told from the perspective of Lily Valley.

Who’d say that being a flower pony is hard? Roseluck never thought so, but after getting stuck with two lazy coworkers and having to provide flowers for all the occasions, she quickly ends up on her last legs. Luckily, there are always Lily’s “caffeine” pills...
