Six years after the events of "Love Will Set You Free", the peace in Ponyville is disturbed as an ancient prophecy seems to be coming true, involving eight new elements - of which only four are known.

"Love Will Set You Free" should be read first, otherwise the story will make little sense in some places. Also, as in that story, this one's chapters are titled after songs from the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest, as is the story as a whole.

Character tags mostly include characters new to "L'amore è femmina". For characters returning from "Love Will Set You Free", please refer to that story's character tags - they all apply to this one as well.

(My first piece of fanfiction, not only for this site, but literally my first)

When Gilda comes back to Ponyville, she has changed for the better. Fluttershy learns this when Gilda knocks on her door early in the morning. The others find this hard to understand or believe. Fluttershy and Gilda must find a way to let the residents of Ponyville know that Gilda is not the evil griffon they once knew.

This story is using a combination of the FiM episodic style of story combined with my own style of writing.

Twilight Sparkle helps Pinkie Pie throw a thank you party for Princess Celestia. She soon starts to have concerns when Pinkie spends far too much time with the Princess.

When Pinkie finds herself in a grey city, she's lost and confused. But through her stay in the dark city, she learns about the colors found in the smallest of places.

Hi-Rez, or Rez as his friends call him, is a photographer pony, following in the footsteps of his deceased father. Unlike his father, however, Rez is an inventor of magic. He has invented several useful spells for ponies of all kinds, and intends to make more. He has grown up blind and has managed to find a way to cope, but being blind soon takes its toll.

Sure, you can get around your own house blind, and maybe even around your own town when you're blind, but wander too far and you soon lose sight of where you need to be, so when Rez finds himself on unfamiliar turf, will he be able to find his way home again?

Sometimes, its hard to smile, though you've been doing it your whole life. Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, you can't hold back the tears.

She cried each night, then goes right back smiling and laughing every day. Nopony see's her pain. Sometimes, she wonders if anypony even cares. But, She goes right back to pretending. She's the element of laughter - of course she can fake a smile.

After all, she's not important. Pinkie has always put everypony else above herself.

If he'd like me to take it down, I will.

Pinkie has strong feelings for a certain mare and intends on acting on them. However when she finds out she's too late, she tries her best to forget.

400 FAVES! Thank you so much for your love and support!

Everypony tries to cope as the laughter is suddenly torn out of their lives.

Dramatic reading by Azekahh

I've spent the majority of my life tilling the desolate land in which I live. Every day, I wake up to move useless rocks from one location to another. This is an archaic line of work that my family has clung to for generations. It is a dull, grey existence.

Today, I have woken up in a strange room, lying in a bed that isn't mine. I'm surrounded by five mares whom I've never seen in my life. They claim to be my friends, and expect me to bring joy to the hearts of everypony.

Joy? I don't think I've ever experienced this for myself, so how am I supposed to thrust it upon others?

My name is Pinkamena Diane Pie, and I'm not sure what to make of this situation.

A warning from Princess Celestia is overridden by Pinkie Sense and leads Pinkie Pie into the Everfree forest where she makes a strange and talkative new friend. A heart burning tale of love, loss, lactose, and alliteration.
A/N: The Pyro's gender has been played with, but Valve has given no indication to him/her/shim being a male or female. Though I personally believe he is a female. I will use male pronouns because magic. I have no idea where this story came from but it exist now and I had fun writing it. Hope you like the read.
