Continuity: Homecoming

An honest farmer in love with a mare, who's family is a rival to his. A wannabe sports star with his biggest, and loudest, cheerleader. A coach to a local sports team with a very motherly baker. A Rock Farmer trying to find out if he wants to follow his family's tradition or be something else and an inner city mare forced to go to a small & quiet town. An accountant searching for a new business with a student from Celestia's school for gifted fillies. And a local cloud worker with a silent admirer that wants him to notice her.

This is just the beginning of who they are, the type of shenanigans they get into, and how they became who they are today.

FEATURED!!!

Windy Whistles: the mare, the mystery, the legend. Who is she?

You may know her from her philanthropic work as the young student founder of the Birds Undergraduate Territorial Taskforce of Safety (BUTTS) program. Perhaps you were invited to her bespoke wedding (the colors: neon pink and electric blue) which featured the Longest Conga Line in Cloudsdale.

But perhaps, if you checked page twelve of the Cloudsdale Weekly last Monday, you would know her for another reason... the narrowly-avoided Plucky Lucky Disaster. Erm, the Plucky Lucky Wildfire? The Plucky Lucky Moderate Mishap?

Anyway, if you want to read a moderately-truthful telling of that adventure, read on!

An entry in the Ancestral Tribute contest.

Ever since she learned about Rainbow Dash's parents (and helped them reconnect with their daughter), Scootaloo has been spending a lot of time hanging out with Bow Hothoof and Windy Whistles, the two of them having become something of a second family to her.

However, Scootaloo already has a family, including a mother who is quite insistent Scootaloo be home by sun down. And when the filly unintentionally breaks this rule, she receives a visit from none other than her mother, Dizzy Twister.

But little does Scootaloo know, that Dizzy Twister and Windy Whistles used to know each other. And the question lingering on the filly's mind is: How is that possible?

This is the story of how Rainbow Dash's parents first met.

Bow Hothoof and Windy Whistles are two pegasi who go to the same school. After the two meet, they discover they actually have a lot in common and form a friendship. How will this relationship evolve through the tribulations of both ponies' home and social lives?

For her future may be closer than she realizes... and there is nothing to fear.
