This story is a sequel to "Just Kiss Already!" And Other Rumbaloo Tales

Scootaloo and Rumble have finally graduated, and are trying to get used to their new lives together. With training at the Academy, as well as some pretty big and unexpected surprises along the way, the two have a lot of challenges ahead of them. As well as one certain question on every other pony's minds. "When are you getting married?"

(Note: It is highly recommended that you read My Little Pony, Friendship is Magic: Stallion Edition chapters 1-12 first. Otherwise, things will not make sense.)

Everyone knows that a cutie mark is what defines a pony, and that it is among the most important moments in a young pony's life.

But every cutie mark has a story, that tells something about the pony that it is a part of. Some stories are more interesting than others, but no two stories are ever the same.

When a trio of fillies (and one colt) set out to learn from one stallion how he got his cutie mark, they will discover a mystery like no other. And the truth, will redefine a particular friendship in a very important way.

Tailspin has been pining for Scootaloo for a while now. Now he hopes to ask her to the dance coming this fall. Will Scootaloo receive his heartfelt note or will outside forces drive the budding romance to ruin?

A much requested side story that you guys wanted. Finally you get to see what goes on in Tailspin's world. Enjoy

Rumble is twelve. For almost five years he has lived in Ponyville with his brother Thunderlane. They have a new life with new ponies, a new family, far from their first home – but Rumble has never seemed to fit in amongst his peers in Ponyville or Cloudsdale. The end of his last year at the Ponyville Primary School is approaching, and with it what Rumble hopes will be a new lease on life: a distant secondary school where he might start afresh and finally find his place.

But life isn’t as simple as that, and Rumble knows it. As Rumble approaches his goal, storm clouds gather and the path he has chosen for himself seems unclear. Foals he hardly knows begin to finally reveal their true colours, and Rumble must decide what he really values in life, and whether he can put his trust in the ponies that once left him in the dust.

Fifteen foals (and one dragon) believe that they are in for the adventure of a lifetime after a mysterious mare tricks them into playing a game for the future of their world – a game played with one-on-one combat between metal monsters the size of mountains. But all is not as simple as it first appears, and saving Equestria may come at a far greater cost than any of them can bear.

Thunderlane has been living with his marefriend Rainbow Dash for several months now, after a break up with the Chaser sisters. All's been well between the two, but suddenly Thunderlane's mother sends Rumble back from Las Pegasus the day before Hearthswarming to live with him, putting him in a situation where he had to ask Rainbow what he thought would be a difficult question.

And in Rainbow Dash fashion, she didn't even question anything, and they cleaned up the spare room for the little colt.

Now, the morning of Hearthswarming, Rainbow is set on making it the best Hearthswarming yet, even if not all involved are immediately the most joyful.

This story was written for Jinglemas 2022! And a gift for No Raisin with the characters Rainbow Dash and Thunderlane. Hope you don't mind I also added Rumble. I hope you enjoy it, and I'm sorry it's a day late.

I also haven't been able to find a decent cover art for this fic, so I may get one commissioned at a later date.

When an artist dies, the value of their art goes up!

Unrequited love is a popular theme within RPG’s and Button’s most recent predicament is no different. A foul two faced knight is threatening to steal his princess to places far away, or at least to change her status to being ‘in a relationship’. But with his trusty steed Rumble-

“Wait what! I am not your steed.”

With his trusty companion Rumble, they will free the fair maiden from her nefarious captor. Unfortunately, if they are to make their deadline, Button must put his heart on the line and ask for help from an evil witch. He can only hope to escape with both pride and heart intact.

Rumble meanwhile facehoofs himself at his friend’s stupidity.

Flying. The only thing other than her blank flank that Scootaloo can think of. It has never been easy and she struggles everyday even to hover a couple of inches off the ground. Her role model and idol, Rainbow Dash, has given her every tip and trick she knows. She pushes herself to the bone in secret. But for all she is worth, the coveted flight has never come. As she sets up to take flight, she will encounter three of the worst days of her life only to get more than she ever bargained for.

Hearts'n'Hooves Day has come to Ponyville, just as it does every year, but this year is different. This is the year a certain pink earth pony will finally bare the secret longings of her soul. Only one problem, she might just be too late.
