In an attempt to put to rest a nagging question Twilight keeps bringing up, Rainbow Dash agrees to do some genealogical research into her family tree. Imagine her surprise when she finds out that Daring Do is a part of it.

In fact, Daring Do isn't some distant relative or lost cousin, she's the younger sister of Windy Whistles. A revelation that has never before been disclosed for reasons unknown.

Armed with this knowledge, Rainbow sets out to get some answers from none other than the newly discovered link herself, Daring Do. There must be a good reason why she's neglected to inform Rainbow of their shared connection all this time, right?

(An indirect tribute to Sir Sean Connery.)

3 AM is a tough time to be awake. Thankfully for Spike and Rarity, though, they don't have to be alone as well. They write each other letters. Rambles from them both. Whatever it takes to get through the night.

Then the letters stopped.

Dedicated to the greatest soul-sister a brother could ask for, RarityEQM.

This story was more for me than it was for you and I'm sorry for it. Give me some time and, when I'm better, I'll write a story that better reflects you. I miss you, soul-sister. And I love you. Could use your guidance on what I should do about you.

One of these damn days, I'll stop being so selfish, and find a better way to pay tribute.

Rarity is a mare of many talents. She runs a business, maintains a huge network of friendly connections, and she comes up with wardrobe ideas nopony else has the intuition to imagine. It’s thanks to all of these that she’s got a feral helper on loan for her current project.

And this is a scene told from said “helper” ’s POV.

This is an entry in the Snippet Series, an anthology of old oneshots that I (and my good buddy Str8aura) wrote based around interesting pics I found. New ones will be posted every other Thursday for the foreseeable future.

Rainbow becomes a giant and pounces on a house; Twilight is scared of that previous clause.

Chapter is taken from an anthology written long ago.

Discord seems to be getting ready for a wedding. Twilight has some questions.

The original version of this story won 1st place in the 180th Writeoff contest, "Confronting the Inevitable."

Really, Wind Sprint wasn't mad that she got shown out of the locker room. It was that the ponies outside of it were even more irritating than the elusiveness of the reason for being stuck with them.

Thanks to SockPuppet for prereading/editing.

All things considered, Rarity finds a bitter prom better than a lonely one.

Still, it doesn't make watching her dream school dance from afar any less pitiful. Neither does Rainbow Dash's insistence on hanging around.

Or; misery loves company, and no one loves rejection -- it's a bitter slow dance, really.

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. Those are the colors of a rainbow. But did you ever noticed that Rainbow Dash's mane has a lack of indigo? Why?

Rainbow Dash and Soarin have known each other for a long time, have been dating for a while, and have recently announced their engagement. Today, they are spending time with their friends Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich. Unfortunately for Rainbow, the moment is anything but romantic.

Contains light, brief suggestive content.

Soarin wakes up suddenly in the middle of the night. A strange noise catches his attention from the bedroom next to his. What he will discover is going to make him realize - It is time to be true to what is inside his heart.
