Rarity made a stupid bet.

I got this idea from Sweet and Elite, where Twilight is dancing like an idiot. I thought: "What caused this?" And so my mind ejected this story out and I used it. Written in one day. *sigh*

Twilight has always been embarrassed with dancing, so she stopped. But, today Twilight got an invite for a Pinkie Pie dance party! She doesn't want to let Pinkie down, so what will she do?

Now, I won't bore you with "This is my first fic, so don't hate me" nonsense. So...enjoy!

Mayor Mare commissions Rarity, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie to drive away a roc that's nesting near Ponyville. Will they be able to persuade it to leave? Or will the threat of bad puns become too great?

The Crystal Empire's Royal Couple are popular, successful and happy in their marriage. As if that wasn't irritating enough, they're also very good with words. The problem is, one of the words they'll need today is "Armageddon".

Well, more or less.

Now has a reading by... er... me! Yes. Definitely me. It's only on PresentPerfect's channel because, um, YouTube. She's not reading it at all. You think she has time for that? Of course not. It's me. Yup.

Pinkie and Rarity reluctantly venture into the strange caves of the far reaches of Equestria. The map must have sent them there for a reason, after all. Hopefully, they'll live long enough to figure out what it is.

Working hard at Sugarcube Corner takes its toll on Pinkie Pie. Even she has to take lunch breaks. Today just so happens to call for a special meal, and she has a good reason why.

Note: This story is very cheesy.

Rarity has had flirts in the past, but one thing she has never considered a romantic option is a mare - particularly a pink mare, who just so happens to be snuggling up to her under the blankets when she awakes from a hazily remembered night.

Over the years, Rarity has found herself drifting apart from her friends and struggling to keep in contact. She's surprised at how much one of them has changed.

Silver Mint is entirely to blame by getting a remix of It's Gonna Work in my head. The image in the video has Pinkie looking a lot neater and prettied up (not that she isn't pretty!), and we made a few jokes that this was Rarity doing Pinkie's mane and makeup...

Then this story happened.

Thank you to Nailah for the wonderful reading!

This story is a sequel to Alternate Beginnings: Year Four

Herd Apple continues to grow, making new friends, but concealed foes threaten to prove that there are monsters lurking. But, what makes a monster? Is it the choices you make? Or does merely having the opportunity and the inclination to do so qualify? After all, what kind of being would willingly allow a terrible situation to occur, if you had the power to prevent it in the first place?
