Twilight isn't great at dancing. Spike knows it. Her friends know it. Even the poor souls who witnessed it first hoof on her birthday party in Canterlot knows it. But that hasn't stopped her from enjoying herself while "busting a move". So when Twilight receives an invite to a party being hosted by DJ Pon3, she eagerly accepts.

However, she's more than aware that everypony finds her dancing skills lacking. To solve this and impress everypony she decides to do a little research on the subject.

In the end she'll impress everypony alright, and it's not because she studied beforehand either.

Twilight Sparkle's mother has always loved her daughter no matter what. However, ever since Celestia sent her to Ponyville she has been feeling saddened to barely see her anymore. Unable to express herself without spreading her downtrodden feelings to others, she keeps it stored away from the world.

Though every night, when the moon is high and everypony is asleep, she takes a little bit of time to desperately soothe her heart, and to remember the past.

Rainbow dash never believed there was anything faster than after hitting a sonic Rainboom. That was, until she received an invitation to join the Extreme Gravity Racing Association.

Not one to back down from a challenge, she accepts and finds herself whisked away to strange new worlds. Not only that, but she'll gain new friends and butt heads with new rivals as the tournament goes on. However, this isn't any normal race, and she'll begin to understand that her very life may be on the line.

Because in the XGRA: a contact is just a contract.

The real Nightmare Moon has returned during Nightmare Night, and she plans to get revenge on Twilight Sparkle. However, she hasn't been aware of any events past her demise. Or the secret feelings a certain mare has that she's hated for over two years.

Several months have passed after Discord's sudden disappearance. With the Bastion destroyed Kid agrees to live with Rucks and Zia in Ponyville. With the help of Twilight and her friends, he hopes to begin learning what else the world has to offer.

Clean-up of the Bastion by the royal guard has been going well, but the main island seems to have been kept off-limits. Nopony knows why, but shortly afterwards strange things have been happening in the forests near Trottingham. The same forest the Bastion crashed into.

Meanwhile, Equestria remains oblivious of the Unrest in the frozen reaches to the north as an enemy that only kid knew has returned. It will take the courage of a single human, and the strength of an entire nation to push back the invaders.

But it will take the magic of friendship to stop a rivalry Kid has long since forgotten.

Doctor Romana T. Colgate has always been Ponyville's dentist ever since Nightmare Moon had been stopped. She moved to Ponyville to get away from Canterlot, but also to keep in touch with her longtime friend, Twilight.

She takes it in stride, believing Twilight is just really busy as one of the elements of harmony, until the day after Nightmare Night. When Twilight visits her due to a strange problem with her gums, she takes it upon herself to help. Not only as her dentist, but as a friend.

Although she starts to wonder if Twilight still considers her a friend.

The Gryphon Kingdom to the north has fallen to the corruption of a tyrannical Queen; forcing her nation into a war against Equestria. As the battle looks in their favor, Lightning spark--Leader of the 1st Pegasus Division--finds himself fighting not only gryphon's, but his own mind as he struggles with the loss of a close friend. Little does he know that the new recruit, Rainbow Dash, may be Equestria's only hope in stopping the war.

Most characters on the list, will come in slowly as the story goes on. Also, the (very sparse) romance doesn't pick up until around chapter 3.
