A certain brown stallion with a penchant for time travel needs to do one thing. And that thing is to buy some apples.

While coming home from the Canterlot rodeo with Applejack, Rainbow Dash spots a strangely familiar pony. The weird coincidence seems to mean something more to Applejack, leading to a conversation about family that may bring two friends even closer.

Vinyl Scratch, up-and-coming DJ, is low on bits due to her drinking habits and expensive job/hobby. She is forced to live with Octavia Philarmonica, a young gray earth pony with an ash colored mane. They have almost nothing alike, and are constantly at each others' throats. Will they stay friends? Will living together tear them apart, or bring them closer together than ever before? Could it possibly spark something within them that even they didn't know about? Find out what will happen to the musical afficionados as they work their way through life living under the same roof.

Rarity has designed a dress that has been chosen to be the 'in thing' for the Grand Galloping Gala. Applejack is the first to hear this news, and wants to throw her a party, but it won't be easy.

--This story takes place 20 years after Discord's second banishment--

Discord is the physical embodiment of all chaos in the universe.

Apple Bloom is the sister of an Element of Harmony and the Treasurer of the Cutie Mark Crusaders.

This obviously means that they will fall in love.

This was originally going to be a one-shot, but I soon discovered that I am way too long winded to try and cram a story in ~3k words. So plan on this being a 3-4 chapter story updated whenever I can cram in some writing time between college classes and cadet life.

Big thanks to LuMe for prereading my stories and making sure that they make sense.
Another big thank you goes to AcreuBaLL for the amazing cover image.

Rainbow Dash is happily reading the latest Daring Do novel, only to be interrupted just before the last chapter by the untimely arrival of Pinkie. Undeterred by the interruption the two decide to read it together. Dash discovers then, that sharing your passion with a friend can lead to something more...
Now with audio version here by the awesome guys of Reading Rainboom.

Colgate hosts a slumber party to show off her new Pony Haystation console, but the only ponies who show up are Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie. Being a scientist, Twilight decides to get close and personal with the one of the contollers, and ultimately gets herself in a bind (quite literally), while Pinkie feeds everypony with some suspicious sweets, making sure that this night will be special for Twilight and Colgate.

PS. I would like to thank Mr. Tangent for his funny little picture that gave me the fic's idea in the first place!

As Twilight Sparkle awoke one morning from uneasy dreams, she found she had been turned into a changeling.

How has she become a changeling? How will she adapt? How will her friends respond? And what new terrors will her metamorphosis bring?

Thanks for everything guys. I never expected this thing to get so popular. I need to rework the second chapter, but it looks like there's going to be a blue moon every Friday for a while yet. Thanks again for your support and please keep reading and reviewing!

EDIT2: I've updated the character list again, a little preview of the second story arc...

EDIT 3: Just doing a quick character update to account for changes made to the next Arc...

Who is Scootaloo? Everypony knows about her present, but when it comes to her past there are as many different answers as there are questions.

Is she the love child of two star-crossed lovers? The last hope for the future? The child of a broken home? A mysterious figure fighting a war no pony knows about? Or is it something else entirely? Is she even a pony at all?

Twilight Sparkle decides to ask everypony in Ponyville and find out about Scootaloo...and the stories, rumors and gossip she gets will leave her wondering how the truth can ever compete with fiction.

My thanks to Page Turner for the new story cover!

Now has its own TVTropes Page!

Octavia and Vinyl Scratch couldn't be happier together, but the cellist's friends can't seem to see why. When Octavia has an important meeting, will the mare that's stolen her heart seal the deal for better, or for worse?
