When Sunset receives a particularly lascivious text message from Twilight, she's really not sure how to handle it. Of course when she finds out it was intended for someone else, she decides finding out who it was meant for is of the utmost importance! Why? She doesn't know, shut up, it's not like she likes Twilight or anything.

Written because I need more shippy horse high school garbage in my life.

Rarity and Sunset are having their third weekly Dappled Shores marathon.

And then Sunset ruins everything.

(This story is a semi-sequel to Sun and Flurries, and its related semi-sequels. Familiarity with those works is not required to understand this one. Based on a request from Yaakov Lubin.)

Spike has accepted the request that he become the next dragon lord, even though it means he'll have to leave Twilight and leave behind his position of royal advisor. But Spike has reluctantly decided that it's just what he'll have to do.

As Spike prepares to transition to his new title and his new life, he is surprised to be receive a visit from a princess. Not just any princess, but Princess Flurry Heart, herself a relatively new ruler of the Crystal Empire.

Shocked by the news of Spike's change, Flurry Heart opts to have a conversation with her unofficial "Uncle". In particular, she has her own worries and fears related to her job title that she hopes he'll be able to help her with.

There are certain rules every Wonderbolt has to follow so no pony can accuse them of cheating their way to the top, every prospect faces the same tests and is expected to make it themselves. Fortunately, Captain Spitfire seems eager to help Rainbow achieve her dream and finally don the iconic blue and yellow of her heroes.

But come to think of it, why should Spitfire take that much of an interest in her?

This is not the first time Trixie has had a drunken one night fling with a random pony.

It is the first time Octavia has.

This story is a sequel to A Mare's Image

Several nosy little birdies put Surprise on the path to discovering Spitfire's budding relationship with Rainbow Dash. If Spitfire gets her hooves on any of them, they won't be flying so well. Especially if that information gets spread around to the rest of her team, or Rainbow's friends.

Just what part of "keeping this quiet until Rainbow gets settled as a Bolt" is so hard to understand?

School life has been going well for Sunset Shimmer, who has recently befriended the human world's version of Twilight Sparkle.
Unfortunately for Sunset, her girlfriend, the pony world's Princess Twilight, has stopped responding to the messages she's been leaving in the journal that she uses to communicate with the pony world.
Sunset begins to panic, worrying that she's done something wrong and that Princess Twilight doesn't care about her anymore. After a talk with Rarity, she decides to do something about it.

Scootaloo's Family Trilogy Story 1

Takes place a few years after Sleepless in Ponyville. Rainbow Dash has taken Scootaloo under her wing and has started teaching her how to fly. However through those few years she has grown suspicious over the parents that never bothered to teach their filly how to fly. She goes to Twilight to satisfy her curiosity, and she learns something shocking there. Now Rainbow Dash feels she has to take Scootaloo in, and fight for custody. Will Rainbow Dash be able to muster up her own courage and overcome her shortcomings to help out Scootaloo?

Meanwhile her Coltfriend Soarin' wants to help her. However that means Soarin' has to do something earlier then he wanted to. Can Soarin' find a way to get Rainbow Dash to agree with what he is going to ask her? Will Spitfire be able to help give him that push he needs? And why is Spitfire so interesting in what is going with Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo?

Despite the failure ringing in her ears, Rainbow Dash is able to move on from one of her less-successful flight forays. However, just as she overcomes her own problems, a certain pink mare gets entirely the wrong idea.

(Edit as of 02/01/12: Some slight alterations to clear up something I only very loosely hinted at first time around. And I made Soarin' sound less of an airborne blob.)

There is a tradition sacred to every member who has ever put on the storied flight suit, one that makes the wings itch to fly and brings a tear to the eye of the most stony-hearted of all pegasi.

Lead the way, kid. The sky's yours. We're right behind you.

Welcome to the Wonderbolts.
