Sweetie Bot refuses to use her generative AI to commit plagiarism.

(A Sockpuppet-Samey90 collaboration.)

After another session of failed flight, Scootaloo and her friends decide to do some research. Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo check out the archives of the Foal Free Press, and Apple Bloom finds herself interviewing Ponyville's strongest young flyer: Rumble, Thunderlane's little brother.

More specifically, she interviews him on how he trained for Ponyville's turn at tornado duty.

Turns out being a little ace ain't all it's cracked up to be.

This story is a sequel to Spiders & Magic: Capcom Invasion

This will be a series of one-shots (maybe an occasional mini-arc) inspired by the Spiders & Magic series from Maximus_Reborn .

Set a week after Capcom Invasion, It will contain many Slice of Life situations for The Mane 6 and The Marvel Heroes. It will cameo Capcom characters from time to time. It will detail situations such as Peter's friendship with his fellow Marvel buddies, Rumble being a member of the Parker-Sparkle family for the time being, Johnny Storm's Romance with Rainbow Dash, what the Capcom People are up to, Logan's friendship and possible romance with Fluttershy, plus many more stories.

There are things you just don't say. Some lines you just don't cross, ever. The reason you don't cross them is because of empathy: you know how bad it feels to hear certain things, and you know you wouldn't like it if you heard it yourself. This is a view not shared by everypony.

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon crossed the line. Rarity learns of it. Rarity is not amused.

Everypony draws their line in the sand somewhere.

Disclaimer: contains Rarity in a state of barely lucid rage as well as the use of harsh words. Also Cheerilee being as effective as she is in the show, on average. If you do not enjoy episodes like Ponyville Confidential or any other episode where ponies talk harshly to each other, chances are this'll ruffle some feathers.

If this resembles real life situations or anyone you know, this is not the author's intent nor the author's problem.

Added notice 10/12/13: No, not based on any Season 4 storyline or spoilers, it's an old idea. The spoiler just prompted the publishing.

Added 2021 notice: please check the author's notes before commenting, chances are you'll find some answers there.

When a snowstorm ends the fun of three kids, they all decide to head home and bundle up for the evening. Of course for Sweetie Belle, she doesn't want her time to end with her boyfriend Rumble and she promptly invites him over to her place. He agrees and they end up both sharing a tender moment by the fireplace.

Why is there no cute tag on this site?

Thunderlane has a date with Blossomforth, and that left Rumble all on his lonesome. Luckily, Flitter and Cloudchaser were nice enough to offer to foalsit him for the night.

Being bored out of his mind, Rumble issues a challenge. Cloudchaser will let him watch a scary movie, if she loses to him in Jenga...

...From all of us together,
Together we are friends,
With the marks of our destinies made one,
There is Magic without end...

Having their cutie marks switched around was somewhat scarring for the friends. However, the incident soon lost it's traumatic air once they threw themselves into their true work. But every once in a while: Rarity can't help look at the sky and appreciate the clouds. Applejack can't help but admire the dresses in Rarity's shop. Rainbow Dash feels the need to assist Fluttershy in her usual chores. Pinkie's learned to be a bit more serious and practical, and channels her extra energy into helping AJ on her farm. While, Fluttershy can't help but laugh just a little bit harder at Pinkies' jokes.

High school can be tough; what with having to dodge bullies, ditzy clique sets, scene kids, meatheaded jocks and the other assorted characters that populate it, it can be a nightmare! That's especially true for the Cutie Mark Crusaders.

All that changes one Hearts and Hooves Day when Sweetie Belle finds out that someone is watching her. This someone isn't a new bully or perverted jock staring at her flank when he thinks she isn't looking. This someone is eloquent, poetic, and very much in love with her. But who could it be? Who could fall for someone so on the bottom of the high school social pyramid? More importantly, what will she do when she finds out?

WARNING: Contains minor spoilers for my other fics.

With aging we grow up either to know more about the world or nothing at all. We learn and evolve throughout our lives leaving things we use to do in the past. Some of those things fads into our minds deep in our memories, never to be heard from again. Forgotten after years of development.

Though there are some memories that we hang to that are precious. Memories that remind us the love in our youth of those around us. Even the small thing that was shared with one another can transpire for a lifetime. Rumble learned this one evening alone with Flitter first hoof.
