"We choose those we like; with those we love, we have no say in the matter."

The inevitable effect of time has hit Ponyville full-force, and with it the trials and tribulations of having to let friends go. Slowly the Mane 6 have drifted away from one another, focused solely on their ever-ascending careers, until only Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy remain. The experiance of letting go again and again has hardened Pinkie's emotions, but when they both meet on a quiet river and bring up the subject, will Fluttershy be able to keep her composure?

The sun and moon are in a stalemate.

Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Rarity have all mysteriously been turned into alicorns.

On top of that, everypony is freaking out because of the previously mentioned events, and the godly Princesses have vanished.

Somepony call the Hardy Boys!

...Er, Rarity.

Rarity often compared her situation to the day-to-day of the gorgeous mares and loyal stallions in her romance novels- fall in love where you'd least expect it, develop a heartfelt crush, and finally confess to the pony of your dreams.

But what if the mare you loved didn't feel the same way?

Rarity's simple confession sets off a mental battle in the minds of both her and Rainbow Dash- battles that make them ponder what's important in life, the meaning of companionship, and the art of racing in the snow.

Some secrets can't remain hidden forever- even those that are paid for in friendship.

Luna, as much as she hated to admit it, was jealous.

Jealous of the fanfare her sister received, jealous of being thrust out of the spotlight when it came to Celestia and the Sun.

But as jealous as the small alicorn was, she never wanted this.

Strange crimes have popped up around Equestria as of late; foalnappings abound, break-ins almost every other night, even outright assaults in clear sight. Yet nopony steps up to help calm this sudden uprise, this sudden rebellion against common sense.

Enter Twilight Sparkle- Equestria's only chance.

He a simple stallion, she a simple mare. When both are caught under a tree along the riverside, while deadly creatures roam the Everfree, will some things between them become more than simple?

Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash are somehow transported to the magical world of Happy Wheels, where Stephano rules all and spikes are your friends. But how did they get there? What will they do? Find out after the commercial!

Rated Teen for slight sexual references, light gore and some language.

Bright eyes, quick mind. Soft fur, harsh attitude. These are but a few things that describe the most athletic pegasus in Equestria.

But when she is given the chance of a lifetime of being accepted into the creme-de-la-creme of peagsi, the Wonderbolts, will she rise into the ranks or crumble under the pressure?

And what will happen if she finds her true feelings for a certain pony at the same time?

A late "gift" of sorts for AbsoluteAnonymous, who told me (Indirectly) that yesterday was OTP (One True Pairing) day. I was going to do a PinkieDash story, but it evolved into this mish-mash of shippings and something I thought would only take one day but ended up taking two.

Pairings include:

Rainbow Dash X Everypony

Spitfire X Quill

Also inspired by Matthew West's song "Strong Enough," which can be found here.

Sometimes questions arise such as "Why" and "Why not." Sometimes we don't have the answers for these questions.

And sometimes words aren't needed at all.
