Spike and Starlight became friends the moment life put them in the same castle. As they grew closer over the years, they didn't think anything could break their friendship.

Unfortunately, all it took was one night to throw that belief into chaos. Now, they have to not only work together but battle their own doubts and insecurities to figure out a way to fix the broken bond between them.

Note: This story deals with some mature themes and may not be comfortable for all readers. Just a heads up.

Friendships don't always last, time isn't always well-spent, and not everyone gets a happy ending. Everypony has their regrets, paths not taken, failures and lost loves. Sometimes, it's too late for second chances.

Granny Smith has a gift for her grandponies, but how do you think they'll react to the surprise?

The Long Night.
It means different things to different ponies. In Canterlot, Celestia traditionally throws a huge party. Meanwhile, all the pegasi retreat to their sky cites, and all the other ponies from Manehatten to Ponyville hurry home before dark, and lock their windows and doors.
Every year before now, Apple Bloom has always been sent away to stay with her friends or family during the Long Night. But this year, despite Applejack's objections, Granny has decided she is old enough to stay on the farm.
Apple Bloom is excited to finally be allowed to spend the Long Night with her family. To see just what all the fuss is about. Just what really goes on that she was too young to be a part of before now?
This year she gets to find out. But before the Long Night ends, she will wish with all her heart, that she hadn't.

Big Macintosh...a simple pony managing a fairly simple family business. But when this order of business brought him to the dunes of Saddle Arabia, where the laws of the land are utterly foreign to him, he is tossed into something bigger than himself. As things gets from bad to worse, who could he turn to in this most chaotic of times to both save his hide and also Saddle Arabia?

What if I say it would be a certain DJ and a certain Nurse?

After a shocking revelation, the Cutie Mark Crusaders take it upon themselves to find out why Big Macintosh is "hurting" Rainbow Dash.

After her recent screw-up in Canterlot, the Great and Powerful Trixie decides to leave the city. However, she forgot one crucial part: food. Can she convince a silent farmpony to part with his prized fruits, or will her ego get in the way, as usual?

A direct sequel to At Home On The Range.

Little Mac has always had a hard time in school. While reading and writing just seemed to come easy to other ponies, he had to struggle constantly and even then he didn't get it. Was he doomed to forever not be able to learn like the other ponies, or was it because he had never been taught the right way?
