Sweetie Belle is all grown up.

It feels like a lifetime has been spent as both child and teenager, though her family insists it passed by in an instant. She is a true adult in the eyes of herself and the law. So, of course, it's high time she starts to enjoy grown-up things.

Including the Gala! An invitation with her name on it is the perfect beginning of this new life that lies before her, and how much fun will it be to enjoy. A night of celebrity. Of excitement! Of romance! Oh, how could she resist?

Though she doesn't have a date, and every invitation offers a plus-one.
And she'll be the only one of her friends without. Hmm.

The Canterlot High Halloween party is a longstanding tradition. And often a bit of a dud, but who expects quality entertainment from a school, anyway? But with the wild year that's passed them by, Principal Celestia enlists the help of Pinkie Pie to make this Halloween party the best one yet. It will be fun, it will be frightening, it will be the best party she's ever conjured! Armed with her expertise and the help of her friends, even preparing the festival is sure to be a blast.
After all, why shouldn't everything about a party be fun?

It's been a long month. Some days feel more like breaking points, and Cadance wonders just how long the weariness will linger.

"So where are you going?"
"With you."

It's a phrase Rainbow Dash has heard nearly every day of her life. Wherever she roams, Fluttershy is sure to be trailing behind. The quiet, fearful girl running along after the one who never seemed to know fear. It hadn't changed in all their years, despite everything they'd seen and done.

The thought that it might change was a little too frightening to think about.

Twilight Velvet wanted to reconnect with her daughter.

A little forgiveness could go a long way; maybe time would need to flow through and heal the wounds further, but it would need to find a way to start. She wanted to speak to her only daughter with peace in her heart- and to her daughter's beautiful bride as well. They were miles upon miles apart, but perhaps that old bitterness could remain rooted no longer.

Well... at least she thinks so. But maybe that isn't quite correct. Or maybe it was something else that went wrong. But- wait, what was she saying?

My 2021 Mother's Day story

This story is a sequel to Why Not A Princess Instead?

There's never been a wedding Rarity didn't like. She loves to attend them, plan them, be part of them, and had always dreamed she'd have her own someday. The childhood dreams of a white gown as she gave her hand to a handsome prince held a special place in her heart, even when such thoughts could easily seem childish in the face of reality.

Yet, in the strangest of ways, she has her wish. Yes, a prince became a princess -THE Princess- but the rest of it can now be exactly the same. The fairy-tale romance of Rarity and Princess Celestia is finally seeing fruition and she can hardly wait to walk down that aisle and make the vows she'd longed for all her life.

The only obstacle? Planning the wedding.

Rated T for occasional moments of steaminess

This is a sister story to Living Happily With the Love of Your Life

Their first date was at a New Year's Party. To think that several more, an engagement, and even a wedding came and went before their next Christmas was fast even by Sunset's standards.

Not that she minded; Pinkie loved her, and she loved Pinkie. It was just their first real holiday together- really together, under the same roof. No pressure or anything.

The Gala was fun. Sure, there was a cake to the face, her best dress ruined, an entire night that was brought to an end by a stampede of terrified animals, but it was at least fun.

Though, admittedly, nothing really quite worked out the way she'd hoped. But Rarity was a strong, capable woman- she could take all of this in stride and still be happy. Just... so much for love and romance.

Right?
