When a nasty bout of feather flu renders Fluttershy unable to model for Rarity at an important competition in Canterlot, she is forced to turn to another one of her friends at the last minute in order to find a replacement. Unfortunately, the replacement comes with a few ... issues of their own. Will the show be a rousing success and another feather in Rarity's cap or will Applejack's lack of refinement lead to strife between the two?

As Twilight is quickly discovering, there are many wonders to be had in Equestria, but unfortunately not all of them are positive experiences; when a storm hits while she is studying alone late one night, she's left feeling more afraid than she's ever been before. Fortunately, her mentor is there to provide her with some solace, and a startling confession of her own!

A friend returning home after a long absence is something to be celebrated, isn't it? In other circumstances, Rainbow Dash would be delighted that Fluttershy is back after almost a year away, but all she has are questions; questions and dark, disturbing thoughts that she'd rather not delve into. The most important one being, "How could I not have known what was happening all this time?"

Inside a stone statue at the far end of the castle's gardens sits Discord; imprisoned for a thousand years since Celestia and Luna defeated him in combat, he awaits the moment when he will be free and he can have his revenge! Until then, he has to listen to the shenanigans taking place at the annual Grand Galloping Gala. Perhaps the pink and yellow pony who has wandered into the garden looking to make friends with some exotic animals will provide some momentary amusement?

Rainbow Dash wakes up to an odd winter heatwave, but at least Scootaloo wants to play with her. By the end of the day, she's fighting her way through a nightmare blizzard. And only one question burns through her mind: WHERE'S THE REAL SCOOTALOO!?

Hey there, Braeburn. Sorry to hear about your troubles finding a colt to settle down with in Appleloosa, but I reckon I got just the thing! I know a unicorn named Hoofclid who ain't had much luck finding a special somepony either. He's about as far from a farmer as you can get, but he's cute as anything and I've got a hunch this could work if you give it a try. Why don'tcha come on over to Ponyville for a week so you can meet him?

Looking forward to it already! Love, Applejack

A fluffy illustrated romance story based on my comic blog, Hoofclid and Friends. Many thanks to Krickis and TallFry for proofreading and encouraging me to post this here.

Routine, it hounded her relentlessly. What she had once found so enjoyable was now reduced to nothing more than the next scheduled stop. Yet she found respite in the lofty rocks, and she heard a calling in the setting sun. It urged her to follow as it journeyed across the sky, beckoning her to adventure under its rays. She wanted to do just that. So why was it she never gave chase?

This story is a sequel to Impossible Numbers' Flashfic Anthology, Volume Two
