Pinkie should really start reading signs more often. Anti-Earth Pony meetings are no joke.

While on her way home from a day with her friends, Apple Bloom runs into Twilight on a trip to Zecora's hut. After insisting to join her, little Apple Bloom gets lost in the woods after chasing a mysterious mare hiding amongst the poison joak. She stumbles upon a town completely isolated within the Ever Free Forest, but something about this town just doesn't feel right...

On one side, it is finally the night: Cheese Sandwich is going to confess his feelings for Pinkie Pie. As the night progresses, Cheese begins to notice something is up with Pinkie. What could it be? Was it something he said? Was it something he did?
On the other side, Pinkie Pie is currently confused by her emotions. Unfortunately, what makes it all worse are her nightmares about an old ex. She hopes that these nightmares do not become her reality, and ruin her relationship with Cheese Sandwich.

I do hope you all enjoy this, as much I enjoyed writing it.

"The world is neither fair nor just, Miss Pie, it simply is. You may take it as a responsible adult or bemoan the point like a spoiled child."

Every day is full of decisions. Decisions on how to dress, how to act, which turns to take, and the list goes on. However, the decisions that have the most impact on our lives are scarcely obvious. For Pinkamena it was the simple choice of staying on the rock farm, for Cheese it was whether to escape the inevitable or embrace it. Cheese Sandwich chose to leave, and his life was forever changed for the better. Rory Scribe chose to stay, and that made all the difference.

Cheese Sandwich and Pinkie Pie are hired to throw an anniversary party in Paris for the Mayor and her husband. Unfortunately, a band of thieves also has their sights set on the party, with every intention of crashing it.

Because things are the way they are, things will not stay the way they are. -Bertolt Brecht

Pinkie has always assumed life would stay the same in Ponyville. Having adventures and playing around with her friends will always be the most important part of her life. Or will it? When Cheese Sandwich returns looking for help, Pinkie discovers feelings she never knew she had. Now, she is torn between her desire to stay with Cheese and her friends. Just how will she deal with the situation?

[IMPORTANT NOTE]: This was my first story on fimfiction that I kept. It was written a long time ago, and as such is dated. Dated in writing quality, pacing, storytelling, characterization, and the list goes on. This no longer represents my current writing abilities in the least, but I have decided to keep it on the site for historic purposes and the fact that folks still enjoy reading it.

This is a slow-paced story delving into Pinkie and Cheese's life as they come to understand their love for each other and the changes it brings to their lives.

Please note that I started this story before the end of season 4. It is cannon up until about the middle of the season.

I absolutely adore Pinkie and Cheese together, and many other writers have published some great stories. I recommend The Rock Farmer's Daughter and anything by scoots2 (they're amazing). Anywho, I decided to write one of my own, but make it a larger scale, slower paced work than most Cheese-Pie stories. This was my big project, and I've expended a lot of effort making it work. I'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions regarding improvement. A perfectionist is never satisfied.

One year ago. That's when everything went wrong. It was the day when the sun never rose and unhappiness took the land by storm. The Elements of Harmony didn't turn Nightmare Moon back into Luna. Instead, the bearers were turned into (mental) copies of Nightmare Moon. The bearers help the tyrant rule with an iron hoof.

Cheese Sandwich is just a regular old party pony. Well, he was. Parties are now outlawed and any pony caught having a party will immediately be put to death. Without parties, Cheese loses his purpose in life and seeks another place to find his destiny again. He accidentally stumbles upon the infamous rebel group called The Cult of the Sun. Cheese sees opportunity and becomes a nightmare hunter. Unfortunately, Cheese's first catch is one of the tyrant's most trusted advisors. Pinkamena Diane Pie.

I'd like to thank scoots2 for getting me into CheesePie. I owe you one! This is a CheesePie story. There are no other ships.

The Rainboom happens as it should, and a few certain fillies earn their cutie marks because of it. Except little Pinkamena Diane Pie, who went inside before she could witness it. Thus, she never left the rock farm.

That meant she wasn't in Ponyville to throw that party that inspired a runaway colt named Cheese Sandwich.

However, the two end up meeting in adulthood, and the broke wanderer Cheese takes a job at the rock farm, and works alongside the grumpy Pinkamena and her family.

My take on an AU, created upon realizing that Cheese Sandwich was indirectly affected by the Sonic Rainboom. And in case you're wondering, the whole eternal night thing goes the same way as the show (except a different mare--whoever you imagine--wields the Element of Laughter).
