Applejack and Rainbow Dash have been dating for a month, and their relationship is flourishing. However, Applejack suddenly finds it hard to get a hold of the pegasus, whose reasons for not spending time with her are getting more and more dubious...

Entry for AppleDash Contest #4, in the categories "Exploring the Past" and "A Minor Character With a Speaking Role"

Twilight has come to terms with her feelings towards Rainbow Dash, but with the chaos of planning and hosting yet another Iron Pony Competition, can Twilight find the words and time to tell her friend, or will the hype of the competition prevent her from finding the chance she needs?

Gilda's been at Junior Speedsters Flight Camp for 3 months, and she still feels like she hasn't found her place. Even with her unique flight skills, the others seemed to ignore her entirely since she is a Griffin.

After another day of practice routines and ridicule, Rainbow Dash decides her friend needs some cheering up. And she's not giving up until she finds a solution to the griffin's problem.

Besides, most times all a sad friend really needs is a treat and someone to share the experience with.

Back before you left your old school, you didn't take jack sh*t from nobody. You didn't start anything with anybody, but you weren't a pushover. When you transfer to Canterlot High however, you're left as the new kid and you meet your worst challenge yet.

This story is told in the 2nd person. So don't take any dialogue seriously. I realize that some bits of dialogue can be offensive or straight up mean.

There is a flood on the horizon. Equestria's enemies have united, and the coming tide will not only change the course of history on one world, but two, and bring about a monumental meeting that will bring brothers and sisters from those two worlds together.

At long last, the downtrodden will rise.

The battle begins.

Natalya, fastest griffon in Griffonstone, finally made it to the Equestria Games. This was her chance to show everyone that she was the best flyer in all the lands.

Or so she thought.

When Natalya sees the flying skills of a pegasus named Rainbow Dash, she begins to wonder if she had finally found someone that might actually be as good as her. Unable to get the lingering thought out of her mind, she decides that she must meet Rainbow Dash and race her.

Natalya is soon going to find out that a simple race is going to be the least of her problems.

For most of his life Spike has yearned to be treated as more than a hatchling; only five years younger than Twilight by all rights he should be considered a young adult, or at least a teenager, by pony standards.

His mind, though still developing, is at times equal to an adult pony's thanks to the many years he spent working alongside his studious caretaker. When forced to focus can could quickly outpace and outwit most colts his age.

His body on the other hand is tiny and adorable.

As with all dragons the pace of his growth matches the demands of the world around him; with the carefree, relaxed life of a librarian's assistant there have been few demands a baby dragon's form could not meet. Until now.

Faced with other dragons, rivals and peers much more fit for survival Spike's body has started working overtime to catch him up and prepare him for the long, difficult life of a dragon. Fortunately, this means he will soon have a body that matches his mind; large enough to take care of himself and get a small token or respect now and then.

Unfortunately this means he has hit puberty.

After unwittingly releasing a bound spirit from the tome that had been its prison, Trixie and Gilda find themselves thrown into the dark underworld of Equestria; where not everything that goes bump in the night is a myth.

Given a chance to make a difference in the world, the misfit duo set out to put down as many creatures as possible. Fortunately they're not alone... they've got one Nightmare of a guardian angel

Alternate canon of Equestria's Crazies

Gilda never chose to be born a carnivore. If she could, she'd become an herbivore like her pony friends. But her own biology has betrayed her morality: she has no choice but to eat meat for its nutrients. So she hunts zebras, the only feasible food for her. At least she will try to do it as humanely as possible.

The griffon king screws up. He found an ancient artifact, and ended up summoning a very strange creature into the magical world of Equis. Lucky for him, the creature was in a coma. After a year, the creature starts to stir, and the king decides it would be a good Idea for a lonely griffon by the name of Gilda to show this creature around its new world.

A fair warning, it is a strong possibility that there will be a few grammar mistakes, but I will do my best to minimize that. Please comment, and critique. I welcome both positive, and negative view points, and please enjoy.)
