Even my hair looks like somepony took a rats' nest, dyed it purple, and stuck it over my head… again. Oh, but what does it even matter? I've made some of the biggest mistakes of my life. How my hair looks should be the least of my worries.

"Please, Lotus. Show my aching heart no mercy today."
No. I didn't want this to happen at all. I mean, sort of, but… oh, not like this. Not anything like this. I really didn't like Rarity being with somepony else and I didn't want them to be together, as happy as I tried to be for her, but oh my goodness
It All Gets Better. "Apple Blossom, what the hay is troubling you?" Applejack stepped in front of the door as her younger sister tried to step out. She instantly stopped. Applejack had called her by her full name. She knew it was serious. She looked up at her sister. The orange farm mare stared down at her, a frown plastered on her face. Apple Bloom could instantly tell that her sister wasn't troubled by her late night leave taking.It All Gets Better.8 months ago in General Fiction More Like This

A brown-colored speckled butterfly fluttered about over the park as four mares sat together on a red-and-white checkered blanket, gathered for a picnic. A tea-set and some sandwiches lay between them, and they were all listening intently to Rarity as she recounted the night when her younger sister's love had finally blossomed.
It had been four days since the night Twilight returned from Canterlot, after Sweetie Belle and Spike had finally simultaneously confessed their mutual crushes. She looked on with a straight face, while Pinkie was antsy,

Twilight and Rarity walked in contemplative silence toward Twilight's library home, both pondering on how exactly to handle Twilight's current situation. As the walked in the door, Twilight closed it with magic and immediately headed to her kitchen. Rarity followed suit, but not without greeting the small purple dragon, who had approached the pair upon their entrance.
"Why, hello, Spike. How are you tonight? Are you feeling well?" Rarity asked politely, noticing the dragon's half-lidded eyes and somewhat vacant expression.
"Hi, Rarity," Spike answered, suppressing a yawn

"Umm...advice, 'Shy? That's kinda...vague. What kind of advice are we talking about?"
Fluttershy blushed again and hid behind her mane, "Well, um, you see," she began nervously, drawing circles on the floor with her hoof, "I, uh, uhm...eep," she trailed off, quickly ducking her now crimson face into her sofa.
Dash gave her friend a deadpan stare and facehoofed. She already knew how shy she usually was, but this was just ridiculous. At least she could usually talk about it. Geez. She cleared her throat and tried to coerce the shy mare to talk to her, "Hey,

They walked so closely to one another it was a wonder that they hadn't tripped over each others hooves. Vinyl was smiling from ear to ear, content in the fact that her words had reached Octavia. She gently snaked her tail around Octavia's, whose tail responded in kind.Three's a Crowd: Chapters 47-501 year ago in Romance More Like This
"I'm sorry for reacting so badly, Vinyl...I still haven't quite forgiven myself for it," Octavia said softly as she looked at Vinyl.

"Who DON'T you know in this town, Octy? Maybe we shoulda sent mail in advance to have a parade set up," she joked.
"This is a fairly small town as you have clearly seen, so it is not surprising that everypony remembers me. That and I would send letters back to my parents after a successful performance. I like to keep them in the loop. That is probably why the last few ponies told me that they were fans of my work."

All except for one.

The fashion designer tossed and turned violently in her sleep, her legs pushing Opal right off the bed. The cat bitterly hissed at her owner before retreating to the basket bed she so loathed.

The three fillies--a pegasus, a unicorn, and a small earth pony--sat around huddled, talking and drawing crazy plans in the sandy ground. One in particular drew his attention.
Scootaloo.
Celestia, she's pretty, he thought with a sigh.
Scootaloo stood over the other two, wildly gesturing a masterful plan that was certain to either get them their cutie marks, or land them in a hospital. Her two friends alternated between looking at her in disbelief and giving each other small, uncertain stare

She lifted herself up, stretching a bit as she stepped off of the couch. She felt her stomach rumble again, and made her way towards the kitchen, looking for anything to sate the hunger within her. She found herself in front of the refrigerator, throwing it open and beginning to raid it for anything edible. She grinned widely when she saw a large sliver of chocolate cake sitting on one of the shelves. "They won't miss it...I'll be doing Lyra and Bonbon a favor," she said to herself as she slid the plate out of the fridge.

She stretched some, but chose not to move much, feeling Vinyl's forelegs wrapped around her, the soft sound of her breathing pleasant in her ear. At least, when it wasn't punctuated by an abruptly loud snore. She jumped slightly at this.
Ugh...why am I not used to this by now? She grumbled inwardly, gently pulling away from Vinyl, who rolled over in the other direction, continuing to sleep. Octavia then crawled out of bed, stretching a bit, her joints popping. It was then that she realized that she smelled a bit.

Dear Princess Celestia, today I learned about what it means to be strong enough to uphold your beliefs.
I wish there were better solutions to our problems, but you don't seem to want to listen.
I've faced more fearsome enemies, don't underestimate me.
Fighting isn't in my best interest, but I'll do so if it's the only way.
It doesn't matter if you have incredible strength or speed. The best way to victory is through strategy.
Nothing in my "Eggheads Guide to Fighting" ever mentioned this!
You should feel lucky I've learned to control my power.
