Change only becomes frightening when it begins to affect you.

Spike has remained a baby while everyone else is growing up. His desire to do the same, however, lands him in a hospital bed with a strange new body.

Ponies are treating him differently, the world he once knew is no longer the same, and the onset of sudden changes are hard to adapt to. Fortunately, Scootaloo is there to ease him through his recovery.

The Filly Guides believe in three basic tenets:

Love your fellow mare.

Do onto others as you would have them do to you.

No filly left behind.

And somewhere between those three would be the rule that any Filly Guide must have all their basic merit badges by the end of their first year. Then again, that rule may be written between the lines of the welcome pamphlet they hand out at orientation. Who can say?

What can be said is that out of all the little fillies of Troop Two-Oh-One, Tag-A-Long has just one scout short of just one simple badge. Easy-peasy.

Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo weren't born sisters, they became sisters by choice. In an attempt to help Apple Bloom, Scootaloo accidentally puts the bond of that sisterhood to the test.

Now the two pegasi will learn just how far they are willing to go for each other, and just how strong their bond as sisters of loyalty really is.

The life he once knew and the life he once had was all gone in a single moment of pure darkness. A young colt finds himself without memories of whom or what he was.With nothing left to remind him of what life were before he keeps moving on, with darkness always trailing close behind. The light of magic leads him to a whole new beginning to a whole new life. What will this new beginning bring for him?

After all the problems that Trixie has been through she is now finally starting to get her life together until one day she is summoned by Princess Twilight. Twilight tells Trixie of the greatness she has accomplished for her new kindness but that will not change her completely. She is tasked by the Princess of friendship to accomplish a feat of true love and kindness to prove that she has truly changed for the better. After leaving to attend her quest Trixie devises a plan to prove her new image after speaking with the cutie mark crusaders, and decides to adopt the young Scootaloo. Will her plan work out for her, or will there be more difficulties then she had originally planned.

At her lowest point, Fluttershy meets the most wonderful stallion, who helps her out. They eventually fall in love, get married, and have a foal. All they want is a life of quiet domesticity. Of course, given that they live in Ponyville, that probably won't happen.

Rated T for mention, but no descriptions, of sex and pregnancy.
Alternate Universe because of up-aged Fluttershy and Macintosh to avoid certain unpleasant things.

My first try at MLP fanfic, but not fanfic in general. Be as harsh as you want.

There's a place just outside of Ponyville that Scootaloo goes when she's upset. It's a steep, grassy hill, and she goes there now, to be away from autumn and from empty places that don't have Rainbow Dash. There, amid the wild silver geese, Fluttershy finds her.

First Light has been drinking Flim Flam Miracle Curative Tonic since the twin brothers first started selling it so that she can take to the skies once more to rejoin the weather team. She sees Applejack and Rainbow Dash and can't wait to tell them how happy she is.

(A story is like a puzzle. You give the pieces to the reader, and they put it together how they see fit.)

Diamond Tiara has always loved Dating Sims, but after playing one into the early morning, she discovers the innate ability to see choices. With this amazing ability, will Diamond Tiara be able to find her true love? Or will she just end up on a "bad ending"?

Idea a shameless rip off of Yukito's "Diamond Tiara Likes Anime".

Ponyville is not Canterlot, and a Ponyville Hearth's Warming is a far cry from a Canterlot Hearth's Warming.

Twilight thought she understood this when her first holiday season in the village rolled around, but the physical reality of it still hit her harder than expected.

It'll take discovering someone with an even greater gap in holiday expectations to break her out of her weltschmerz.
