Raindrops is enjoying a rainy day. A certain orange pegasus, however, isn't.

Note: Just Winging It follows Scootaloo in the same universe a few days after this fanfic.

How do you improve on perfection, once perfection has become outlawed?
Pinkie hopes to find out, with the help of Pinkie and several (mostly) willing volunteers.
After all, nothing bad ever came from mixing high-sugar coffee drinks and highly experimental magic, right?

Written for the Quills & Sofa's "Expanded Universe 2" contest as a sequel to Grand_Moff_Pony's The Amazing Arcane Alicorn Frappe

Thank all of you readers for getting this story into the Popular Stories box. [8/14]

Written for the Lunaverse April Writing Event: A burst of magic heralds the arrival of a visitor from another world. While Trixie and her friends know that Corona is somehow behind this, they still must make this visitor feel welcome, even though his mysterious ability makes them more than a little nervous.

As for the visitor...well...he can only think of two words to describe his predicament.

This story is a sequel to A Story With a Lack of 'E'

On account of many commands for this to occur, I officially gift you with an additional story containing no 'E's at all! Do not cry, for no 'e' was hurt in my making of this story!

This is a lipogram. It will contain no 'E', apart from that symbol said prior and what was drawn upon in titling this story. I will not touch that symbol in this writing at all, nor will I allow it to subsist. Thank you.

This story has many background inhibiting individuals with various dispositions and actions. This group consists of Raindrop, a stallion-hog; Milky Way and Thundy, two pals who fight for Raindrop's adoration; Starburst, a kind, familiar stallion; and Cloud and Flitt', two disgusting twin girls.

Colgate takes acid... and totally looses her FREAKING MIND!

I never thought it would end like this...

I thought she loved me...

Why does it hurt so much?

Why?

When love ends, what is left for the broken hearted? Can Thunderlane move past the pain from a string of recent relationships gone bad and find the light of love again, or will his life remain shrouded in the dull, dreary half light of an overcast sky?

Special thanks to my prereaders ChaoticHarmony, JetGrey, and Teal-Tome.

Huge thanks to Seto1337 on deviantART for the coverart. He's an great friend and amazing artist. I highly recommend you check out some of his other work.

Trixie is very bored. In an effort to relieve said boredom, she is reading her textbooks on magic.

This is a very bad idea.

The result? A spell goes wrong and Ponyville ends up with two Trixies, or at least two pieces of Trixie.

One is carefree, pompous, and just a wee bit more arrogant than usual about her powers.
The other is a nervous wreck that can't work up the courage to do anything based on the thought that it'll lead to a personal failure in her responsibilities.

They are two incomplete halves of a whole that have a spell to fix.

The problem with fixing it?

One of them decided to run off to Neigh Orleans during a night of endless partying.

A Lunaverse Story.

Sunshower Raindrops was not a remarkable pony. She was painfully shy and timid, even a bit of a crybaby. She had no friends and tended to blend into the background. She had long believed that she would live out the rest of her days alone and in obscurity. She never asked for much... but was having a friend really so much to ask for?

When Raindrops happens across Lightning Dust for the first time since her expulsion from the Wonderbolt Academy, she sees an opportunity to finally make a friend. She does not know Lightning very well, but she seeks to fix that by talking to her.

Little did either of them know that it would be a talk that would shape the rest of their lives.

"Mr. Bunny? Would you please come cuddle with me..."

Silence.

"... Thank you Mr. Bunny, I really needed that hug..."
