Rarity never thought she'd fall for a dragon, much less be blissfully happy dating one, but ever since Spike grew into a sweet and handsome young drake, she's been completely and helplessly besotted. Recently, though, he's seemed distant, uncomfortable around her--or worse, unhappy with her. With the prospect of losing the love of her life hanging over Rarity's head, will she resort to drastic measures to become what he desires? And how will her darling dragon react if she does?

Everyone knows that Twilight's spells have a 56% reliability rate, so it's no surprise when her spell reversing Fluttershy's bat transformation goes wrong. What she discovers in the aftermath, however, is a little more...unexpected.

An alternate take on Fluttershy's recovery scene from 'BATS!' based on the prompt: 'Not everything went as planned when Twilight undid her spell on Fluttershy.' The prompt is from Equestria Daily's first Writer's Training Grounds.

Though her friends were disappointed, Twilight by her failed spell, Applejack by her apple theft, Rainbow Dash by her inability to gain cool fangs like Fluttershy’s, and Rarity by her unladylike dangling, nopony was really surprised. What surprised the little ponies, as always, was one Pinkamina Diane Pie.

Applejack and Fluttershy have been together for a while, and Applejack wants to take the next step.

When Fluttershy is hit by a case of the feather flu, however, Applejack will have to put everything on hold to care for her marefriend.

My entry to the Appleshy contest.

Enjoy.

When Fluttershy discovers that she can't use her Stare anymore, she runs to Twilight for help. At the same time, Applejack comes to Twilight to inform her of some strange goings-on with the vampire fruit bats in their sanctuary. Can Twilight magick up a solution and save the day, or will these chaotic circumstances prove too much for her to handle?

Pinkie tries to study genealogy. For a while everything goes just swimmingly, but in the end she really fowls it up.

For Fluttershy, taking a day off is a blessing; animal care is harder than it looks after all.

Sometimes though, you simply can't catch a break.

"While helping Twilight Sparkle with her genealogical research, Pinkie discovers another surprising familial connection. Pinkie heads out to investigate."

Pinkie Pie and Scootaloo aren't so different. Small families, unknown pasts, with lots of friends to catch them when they fall, and lots of happiness to share in together. When Pinkie finds that Scoots is potentially related to Rainbow Dash, however, problems arise surrounding how to tell her about it. (PSA: slightly sad near the end.)

Princess Twilight Sparkle and Stare Master Fluttershy go on a date to the park. Under the stars and moon, they have a picnic and Fluttershy teaches Twilight the basics of flying.
