The Acres set it up every year as Nightmare Night approaches: an old-fashioned haycart taking a Moon-lit tour of the property, with fillies and colts shrieking at the traditional fake horrors. And Rainbow? Thinks that's boring. It's the same stuff every time. None of it would ever scare her. Nothing Applejack could come up with is even capable of getting a reaction.

Applejack decides to treat that as a challenge.

And then cider gets involved.

After losing her last baby tooth, a young Twilight learns something about dragons from her new adopted brother: apparently, they never stop losing teeth. Naturally, Twilight and Spike decide to milk the Tooth Breezie for all she's worth. After all, the Tooth Breezie never seems to run out of bits while she can never get enough teeth, while Spike can't run out of teeth but can never get enough bits. Win-win. It's a great idea.

So why does Mom look nervous all of a sudden?

This story is a sequel to The Spike Poem Anthology

Spike writes poems about his life with Twilight and his friends, hoping to meet a mysterious poem writer through his own poetry writing. These are a few of his new poems about his friends, his life, and his secret admirer.

You might want to read the first anthology to get what's going on or at least the epilogue. Anyways, this time I intend to write more than one poem back to Spike. Going to warn you some of these poems are a bit dark. That's cause I've been going through some stressful times lately and dark stuff just came more easily. Don't worry, I'm fine.

Updates might be highly irregular though.

Rainbow Dash has been thinking about how she laughed at him when he was wearing that apron, so she apologizes to him. The aftermath of "Dragon Quest".

Troubleshoes makes just enough money to scrape by. It's safe to say that his bad luck of ruining four out of every five meals he tries to make isn't helping, nor is his head feeling any better after accidentally banging it for the thousandth time on his shelf of memoirs. However, in here you will find that both Pinkie Pie and Discord seek to help him take charge and get a sense of control over his bad luck. What begins as simple lessons escalates into deeper connections. Question is, who will win whose heart?

Appearance is everything, especially when you're a Wonderbolt. When you live your life in the spotlight, showing vulnerability will not do. There can be no cracks in your foundation, at least that's how it feels. But learning to bring those walls down can lead to surprising, wonderful revelations—even in the intensive care ward.

For some ponies, like Captain Spitfire, something needs to shake the foundations to bring the walls tumbling down. Then, with some help from the right pony, you can be led from the rubble.

Even if you fall head-over-hooves along the way.

Our lives are journeys, and each year is a landmark. From the day we're born to the day we die, we live, learn, and love, and we leave our mark on the world behind us. And while some of us live in cages, not aspiring for greatness, some of us were born ready to shatter the bars and soar free.

My name is Sierra. This is my life.
