Spike left Ponyville to live in Canterlot two years ago. Now he is back, and Rarity is stunned by what she sees. What happened before he left and what will happen now? What will Rarity do with her feelings, and how does he feel about her now?

One rainy day, Sweetie Belle is lured away from the spine-tingling, cloak-and-dagger trials and tribulations of the infamous Shadow Spade, by the only thing better than reading mysteries: living one.

Our heroine is pretty darn sure that something fishy is going on around Carousel Boutique. She's never had to help her sister with an order like this before. A dozen fancy dresses for some mystery foal, sight unseen? What's a filly to do, besides investigate? A very important commission is only the start of something so much more, as our pintsized gum(horse)shoe begins her new investigative career!

Set after the events of Cart Before The Ponies, what would happen if Spoiled Rich had been watching the derby, and was less than thrilled at Diamond Tiara's performance? If you read it, you're about to find out.

Oh, and Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle are there too. Just so you know.

"Oh, my goodness! Rarity, what happened here?"

"Oh, Twilight! It was horrible! Disgusting! Vile! A crime against nature! Look at what it's done to my boutique!"

"Wha-what did this?"

"A repugnant, repulsive, revolting… rat!"

"A… wait, what?"

The Cutie Mark Crusaders have tried everything they could to get a cutie mark.

Or did they?

After a sarcastic half-advice, the trio starts on a new journey; to earn their cutie marks fighting in the mysterious "arena of politics". First thing's first - find out what this "politics" thing even is.

It's surprisingly hard to figure it out.

Scootaloo is following in Rainbow Dash's footsteps and achieved her dream. She joined the Wonderbolts and is rocking out with her childhood idol, but something is still missing from her life. Scootaloo has been acting differently lately and Rainbow Dash is going to figure out what's wrong. Can Rainbow Dash help the sister she never had find love?

It's time for the Little Miss Canterlot pageant, and with her friends and sister supporting her, Sweetie Belle is hoping to take home the crown.

It's Rarity's birthday, and her friends want nothing more than to give everypony's favourite fashionista a day as fabulous as she is.

Can they make sure that Sugarcube Corner is decorated, the presents wrapped and the food prepared before the birthday girl arrives?

No. No they can't.

Originally a birthday present for Flint Sparks
Written sometime when Twilight is still a unicorn.

This story is a sequel to Spike's Journal

(NOTE: Reading the story above is not required to enjoy the story, but I'd suggest you read it anyway.)

Spike's finally gotten a new journal, but things aren't looking so good. Chaos spirits, hyperactive fillies, mares with issues, puberty...that's not even the top of the barrel. Will he be able to survive?

Well, if anything, his written thoughts are sure to prove that being a baby dragon doesn't mean you can't work your way through life.

An observation of what Spike could have wrote in such a book, covering all 26 episodes of Season 2. Also contains some pages from the Cutie Mark Crusaders.

Now with less pop culture references, a bit more depth, and still the same old fun.

What happens when Rarity becomes obsessed with the game Doom II? A lot, actually. Not only is she seeking help from unlikely sources (like Discord) to help beat the game, but she's in terrible trouble. It turns out the Icon of Sin is not happy that a pony is defeating his army. What distance will he go to put a stop to Rarity's success?
