Apple Bloom never thought of herself as a "s'phisticated" pony. She lives on a farm, she eats what's put in front of her, she follows the advice of her kin without question or doubt. That's all there is to it.

Rarity, on the other hoof, is so "s'phisticated" she can actually spell it. Probably too "s'phisticated" for her own good. The life of an artist - even one who actually makes money - is never a simple one.

But truth, like life, is like the gleam off a sun-caught apple. Turn it around, and though it was once dull and uninteresting, the flash of light may well catch your eye in a way that sparks something new and exciting. As if you'd found your cutie mark all over again. A life-changing moment of pure inspiration.

Maybe these two socially sensitive ponies have more in common than they'd ever thought possible...

Unaware of the consequences, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle introduce Apple Bloom to a musician she's never heard of before.

It probably wasn't the best idea.

This story is a sequel to She Needs A Quiet Room With A Lock To Keep Her In

Scootaloo, after locking herself inside the CMC's old clubhouse on the outskirts of Sweet Apple Acres during a thunderstorm, attempted to take her own life.

Apple Bloom found her friend and she only has a very narrow window of time to help save one her closest and dearest best friend's life.

The clock is ticking as she brings Scootaloo to the hospital, but will she survive?

=====================

Tucked between the farthest hills of Sweet Apple Acres, hidden by the oaks that border Whitetail Woods, sits a knoll with a single tree. Beneath the branches of this tree are two stones, marking the final resting place of two special ponies. Each year, the Apple family make a trip together to visit the site of their dearly departed kin, a trip that starts with fond memories and always ends in tears.

At least, such is the case for most of the family. The youngest Apple, however, has struggled to form the same emotions, especially in recent years. So, on a whim, she decides to make a separate trip to visit her parents – this time, with a friend.

Most Friday nights, the Cutie Mark Crusaders convene together at their clubhouse to spend the night together. Sometimes, they have friends over to tend to things like Scootaloo's Rainbow Dash Fan Club. Other nights, it's just the three of them, spending the better part of the evenings planning new ways to discover their destinies.

But on very rare occasions, one filly or another can't make it out for the night. And tonight was one of those nights.

After discovering that Twilight will not be spending Hearth’s Warming with her family due to a recent snowstorm that has forced every railway station across Equestria to close down, the Apple Family plans to give the Princess of Friendship a truly memorable, heartfelt, and magical Hearth’s Warming she will never forget.

One lazy afternoon after finishing all of the chores are done, Apple Bloom and Applejack relax under a tree. During this quiet time, Apple Bloom wonders about the future and confides in her older sister about the possibilities that might come from it.

This story is a sequel to Friends and Family

Not so much a sequel as a side story to "Friends and Family." It's Family Appreciation Day and Applejack is unable to attend. Rainbow Dash ultimately has to make an appearance and face her own apprehension at the public revelation and in the process confront some of the issues she'd been secretly carrying all by herself.

A Pinkie Promise is a dangerous thing. There are Tartaran contracts that are less strictly enforced. Making one before your first cup of coffee is just asking for trouble.

Based on a prompt by Bad Horse.

Since Apple Bloom enrolled in dance class, she and Tender Taps have been spending a lot of time together. But when Scootaloo joins the class and proves to be a better dancer, and also becomes Tender Taps' new partner, dance class suddenly isn't so fun for Apple Bloom.

Inspired by the Irving Berlin song of the same title.
