A memory is a moment in time. Behind those memories are stories that lead up to the moment, or stories about the moment itself.

Rainbow Dash has been crushing on Twilight for months, while Twilight remains oblivious. When Twilight starts changing for the worst, something's got to give. Will it be Twilight and her new Coltfriend? Or will Rainbow Dash decide she's had enough and leave? Please note that Night Shade was a random name pick. I didn't mean to steal anyone's OC.

Button Mash, Spike and Pipsqueak are the big dorks at their school, not even the fillies of their dreams pay any attention to them and they are often made fun of, they just survive the classes to finally be set free to play videogames all afternoon at Button's; that's the way it's been and it's the way it'll always be.

That, however, changes when Rumble felt pity towards these poor children, and he tells them about a potion that's guaranteed to make them cooler and make their dreams come true, only he missed the part that nobody tells well...

Do any of these guys know what they're messing with? Does Rumble know what he's doing to them? Is Equestria itself in danger?

Let's find out together, should we?

Teen rating mainly for some profanity at some points and some pretty real moments in some chapters. You'll see when you get there.

Contains SHIPPING, be warned.
The orthography may not be perfect.
In this story Spike has gone to school with every other filly and colt since he arrived with Twilight in Ponyville, but I don't know if that would be worthy of the AU tag.
Yep, this was inspired by "Be More Chill, the musical", but I'll try to make my own thing. But just in case you haven't seen it, please be warned of some spoilers.

"I dunno man, maybe it's not me. Maybe, it's...the rest of Equestria, ya know?"

Suffering badly from the almost inevitable rejection of his long time crush, Spike chooses to man up and cry in a bar instead of his bedroom. Looking to cheer him up, the squad assemble to help him realize he still has a place in the world; even if that place doesn't include Rarity.
Hopefully Soarin and Discord will be able to bring him around, as well as resolve some of the new tension between him and Applejack (who has had to put up with his insufferable brooding for four nights straight).
And what better a way to do that than over a couple pints of the Apple family's infamous Sweet Apple Cider.

Edit: This is meant just as a random, slightly mushy, humorous, light read. Just something that came to mind and thought I'd write just to see how it goes down. I have added a sentence or two and slightly revised the description, so that you all get a slightly better idea of what to expect. This does include Applespike.

Book 1 in the friendzoned series. Prequel has been written. The link is in the final chapter, 'The survival guide'.

This story is a sequel to Friendzone ain't magic

"Welcome, friend, to Friendzone 101; a declassified survival guide for all our fallen brethren in the dreaded frienzone. With each chapter presenting a step-by-step guide to surviving the loathsome loneliness, the tenacious temptations, the forever forlorn feelings. Join us brethren, you are not alone..."

Set before the events of 'Friendzone ain't magic'.
Warning: This story isn't supposed to be a serious piece of fiction. It's a humorous, light read. Just something short and fun, written for the enjoyment of others.

Book 2 in the friendzone series.

Rarity is not feeling like herself. Her experiences with sadness were usually intense and loud, but brief. Not this time. After a chance encounter with a customer, powerful melancholy grips her, unlike anything she has experienced before. She feels empty, hopeless, and miserable.

Then Twilight Sparkle visits.

There are some mentions of suicidal ideations, but no actual suicide or self-harm.

A HUGE thanks to Troublesome Beast for helping me with this one.

Twilight Sparkle has been abandoned.

After an expedition into the badlands is torn to tatters by an unprecedented monster attack, Twilight finds herself stranded in a hostile environment with no safe way back home. With no supplies and no survival training, It all seems hopeless for the scholarly unicorn until she is discovered by a type of creature she has never seen before. A changeling named Thorax, a native of the badlands.

With Thorax's knowledge of the environment, he is Twilight's best chance of getting home safely. And by that same token, perhaps Twilight is the best chance the timid, pacifistic drone has of discovering something he has lived his entire life without.

Set well before the Season 2 Finale.

Cover art was drawn by me.

This is a spiritual successor to The Bug in The Herd, and The Bug in The Basement.
