Just about everypony in Ponyville knows Scootaloo. She's your normal, carefree pegasus foal who crusades for her cutie mark, zips around town on her scooter, and looks up to her idol Rainbow Dash. But what if that's not all there is to her? Scootaloo worries that her friends will find out that she's not the foal they know and love, or that she's not even a foal at all. But, when her secret does come out, their reactions might surprise her.

In the heat of the moment, some ponies have a habit of letting things out. Sometimes they are minor things that most just shrug off and forget about in a matter of milliseconds. Sometimes they are things that, once revealed, shake the very foundation of their existence.

Rarity's latest revelation falls into the latter.

Twilight Sparkle has been in a rut, and when she finds herself dragged in to a new night club by her friend named Vinyl Scratch, she finds herself being more social than ever with her new best friend.... But is there more than friendship between the two? What of Pinkie and her new, more often visits?
This is my first fic, so tips will be appreciated. I'm hoping that this story can somewhat weather all the criticism I'm sure I'll get. Feel free to tell me what I can improve on, and anything else you guys need!

In the aftermath of the changeling attack on Canterlot, a pony just doing his job and a changeling separated from the swarm meet totally by chance in the wilderness. Neither truly understands the other. Together they find themselves forced to examine what friendship and love really means, and if true companionship is worth the cost of leaving all you've known before.

"Big" Jim Cooley: the stallion that everypony in Buck City looks up to, both in fear and awing respect. His skill out on the plains is matched only by his madly inflated ego.

Applejack, set out west to seek fortune as a cattle wrangler, gets pulled into an adventure that she can't possibly turn down. But when she finds out this "typical" cattle run is a suicide mission that goes right across Buck City's desolate and savage-ridden plains, will she ditch a chance at the opportunity of a lifetime?

Based roughly on the song Ballad of Big by Genesis

A series of short, unrelated vignettes featuring Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash’s budding relationship. It’s supposed to be quite sappy and slice-of-life-y. I intend to release more chapters as I find time to write them, and I have a list of themes and situations I’d like to explore. Rated Teen for kisses, displays of affection, etc. There is no continuity between chapters unless explicitly stated.

Applejack has been stuck in a rut. She constantly compares her self to everypony else in Ponyville and while contemplating her various flaws she is asked to do something that can only make the situation worse.

The school in Ponyville is having a career day and Applebloom asked Applejack to come along and talk about work on the farm. Interesting hi-jinks will likely ensues from the CMC and the other classmates. But more importantly, what is everypony going to think about some dirty farm mare?

Told from Applejack's point of view and in her accent, (As best as I could write it.).

Twilight returns to Ponyville after a visit with Celestia to find all her friends missing and a strange force affecting everypony's minds. Now it's up to her to figure out where this magic is coming from and put a stop to it. And no amount of gold, humans, true love, auditions, or general happiness is going to stop her!

...And why won't everypony stop singing?

"Sis, I know you always told me that the farm is our home and that we all belong there, but you also told me you had to leave to find that out. I hope you can understand. I'm tired of ponies telling me that I'll find out who I am if I wait. What kind of boring self am I ever going to find by just sitting around doing normal stuff?"
