Spike can't believe his own bad luck.

First, he was enrolled to Ponyville's elementary school. Second, Twilight won't realize that he already knows everything Cherilee will teach him. Third, he unintentionally becomes the point of interest of a certain tiara-wearing filly.

Yeah, this is gonna blow.

Set in the same universe as Bad Company and Xenophobia. You don't have to read any other stories from the 'Phobiaverse' to understand what's going on.

After twenty years of life, Spike has finally decided to confess his undying love for the mare of his dreams. With flowers gripped in one claw and his common sense buried deep, he'll make it work. Somehow.

Starlight Glimmer bears a false sense of responsibility once her former castlemates have taken on more important roles in the last 4 years. Her longing for the past and the guilt for feeling the way she does prevent her from making new memories. 

Beta read by a friend

When Spike dies an unexpected death, Rarity decides to take matters into her own hooves. She pulls out her sewing needle and her best thread, and prepares to 'fix' him.

Now with a great reading by Brad the Browncoat Brony!

SEQUEL IS OUT

He could have said no. He should have said no. It would have been the easiest thing in the world to stop her right there and then. She would have understood. She would have forgiven him. The spell would have been gone forever, and everything would have gone back to normal.

But he didn't say no. He didn't, and now it feels too late.

When Twilight receives a sickness that causes her magical surges to spin out of control, she accidentally turns the rest of her friends into foals - including herself. Luckily, (or not so luckily), Pinkie Pie was out of the mix, but now she has to take care of the five out-of-control foals before they wreak havoc on the entire Sugarcube Corner. With the Cakes gone, Pinkie must take up her responsibility as the perfect foal-sitter. Will she come out victorious?

Or will the pressure overwhelm her when the hope of her friends ever turning back to normal is lost?

This story has a sequel!

Twilight has made a shocking discovery about one of her friends, one that could spell disaster for all of Ponyville, or even all of Equestria.

But it probably won't.

I did go overboard using Twilight’s name for my own gratification at the summit, but then I thought how odd it was that Cadance did little to help Twilight, had sent her to get sleep but had let ponies visit her anyway, and had known about the public works projects but set up a situation where I’d certainly botch it and take the blame. It was like she wanted Twilight unable to function after the summit. Not only that, but Cadance could grow crystals, and I knew only one pony who knew that magic. I volunteered to help with the Crystal Faire. Something seemed terribly wrong, and if I could not figure out what quickly enough, the Crystal Empire might fall.

Dark tag for foreboding mystery and suspense not violence.

Rainbow Dash has always been complimented on her athleticism. What happens when she gets complemented for her looks, too, especially when said compliment comes from a certain purple dragon?

Twilight gets a visit from her future self (again). She's expecting some kind of emergency, and it is. Just not the kind she was anticipating...
