Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity are visiting the DELOS resort. It consists of 3 worlds where guests can live out their every fantasy. There's Aviworld; the fast and furious lifestyle of Ancient Pegasopolis. Magicworld; nobility and magic duels of Ye Olde Canterlot. And Dodgeworld; adventures in the Dodge settlements of the Equestrian mid-west. Each world is maintained by reliable cybermagic technology, and run by lifelike robot ponies. The robots are programmed to provide guests with an unforgettable vacation, and the technology is designed to provide all of it in complete safety. Here one can relieve frustrations and satisfy desires; all in a controlled environment. The trio of friends know they'll enjoy their stay at DELOS; the ultimate resort where nothing can possibly go wrong . . . go wrong . . . go wrong . . . gooooo wwwwwrrrrrooooonnnnnggggg.

Ponified adaptation of Michael Crichton's Westworld.

In a world ruled by the night, it makes sense that a passionate romance can bloom invisibly in the shadows. A sly, flirtatious touch or a whisper laden with hidden meaning can go unnoticed by the keen, gossip-hungry eyes and ears of the Night Court. But how long can such an affair stay subtle, especially when one of the participants is Rainbow Dash?

Discord wants his own theme park. What could go wrong?

You have been tasked with the job of watching over Rainbow Dash in her cloud house as she nurses a hurt wing. Initially, Dash is not very happy about this, but over time, both of you learn to make the most of the situation and learn what you can about each other.

Then, as Dash begins to open up, she reveals what's really hurting her deep inside far more than the wounded wing. Together, you and Dash will share what matters to you, as she reveals just how much she has been hiding her true self from others all along. You will help Dash see just how beautiful she really is. And in turn, you'll feel what it's like to experience love from the most beautiful mare in all of Equestria.

Rated T for Moments of Intimacy. If you've ever wanted to read a sweet pony story where you read from the intimate, but safe non-sexual, role, then look no further.

My entry for this competition

All Applejack wanted was to complete her chores so she could help Rarity and the girls with the Ponyville Days Festival. Maybe even get a little bit of advertisement for Sweet Apple Acres. Unfortunately, anything that involves Rarity will most likely include drama. Applejack soon finds herself hiding from a stalker, traveling writer with an obsessed crush on her and a jealous friend with a stereotypical view of her country life. At the same time, she has to try and keep her relationship with a certain rainbow haired pegasus a secret.

She should have stayed in the chicken coop.

Behind Closed Doors (Mature continuations of select * chapters)

Has a finished rewrite! Takes things a bit slower, lasts longer, has * scenes integrated into the story (Mature).

A stolen book, seemingly, leads to the death of the CMC. However, after a botched attempt to save their lives, it becomes apparent that the crusaders may not be as dead as they appear.

Now it is up to Rarity, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash to pick up the pieces. As they find themselves having to start all over again with the fillies, as well as handle any of the consequences that came with this change.

Now, only time will tell if the three fillies will ever be the same again.
