A Musician's Memoirs
Knock knock knock.

A young grey filly with a long black mane knocked on the pearl white door, a large cello gripped tightly in her right hoof. After a short while the door flung open, revealing a young filly with a white coat and a mane that was a mix of bright and dark blue.

"Is this room 35-A"? the grey filly asked nervously.

"Yep! You must be my new roommate! I'm Vinyl Scratch!" The white pony stuck out her hoof.

"My name's Octavia." Octavia shook the white pony's hoof.

"Great! Come on in!" Vinyl stepped aside, allowing Octavia into the room. "I can already tell we're going to be the best of friends!"

Octavia examined the room she st
A Flier's Inner Fire
"Why would he say such a thing?" Spitfire whispered to herself in tears as she tore through the empty streets of Cloudsdale. The heavy rain that fell from the sky flew into her face and drenched her mane, goggles and Wonderbolt suit. The tears she cried had camouflaged itself between the raindrops on her face; her usually straight bright tangerine-orange mane had fallen, flowing down all the way to her knees as she ran. She darted her blurred vision quickly around the surrounding area, her heart racing fast as she desperately searched for place she could be alone where nopony would find her.

Spotting a small alley located in between two smal

Falling Leaves
Argh... I can't sleep! Rainbow Dash thought to herself as she tossed and turned on the train bed. And Appleloosa is still another few hours away! Rainbow dug her head into her pillow, trying to drown out Spike's horribly loud snoring. Maybe somepony's awake.... Immediately, Rainbow's mind went to the one pony she was sure was still up at this time.

"Pssst.... Pinkie Pie, you asleep yet?" Rainbow whispered as soft as she could, grabbing a nearby unlit candle.

"No," Pinkie's high pitched voice returned the questioned, causing Rainbow to smile a little as she fumbled to find a match. "Are you asleep yet?" Rainbow heard her ask in return.

A Pure and Carefree Mind
Spike awoke from his slumber, stretching his arms high into the air and pushing himself up from his small bed. As he stood up, his mouth extended into a large yawn and his legs automatically directed him to the door to the main floor of the library. It had been the same routine for years, ever since Twilight and he had moved into Ponyville. However, as Spike pushed open the door, he noticed something odd; the light in the library had been turned on.

Usually, the whole library would be drenched in darkness as he would be the first one to wake. Spike turned his head to the clock that hung in his room. '5:28 AM'. Now Spike was very curious as t
Have you tried turning it On and Off again?
Twilight picked up the device which sat on the table in front of her. Levitating it with her magic, she flipped the device around, revealing its ten buttons which were numbered from '0' to '9'. The unicorn levitated a large package in front of her, reading off the label pasted at the top of the cardboard box.

"Cloudsdale's Customer Service: Dial 20266537." As she read the numbers, her telekinesis simultaneously pressed the numbers accordingly on the odd object she levitated. Pressing the last digit, she levitated the rectangular device to her right ear and was immediately met with a ringing tone.

It was suppose to be a normal day. Why, why in Celestia's name would something like this happen? Why did it have to be one of my friends, why couldn't it be me? Rainbow Dash fell ill one day without warning, I dashed through the late night streets after the news reached me, telling the others about Rainbow's condition. Fluttershy wanted to visit right then and there but after a little talking,  I managed to convince her that visiting hours were way over. We made a plan to visit her the
Remembrance of a Dear Friend
Fluttershy stretched herself out on the cold grass, damp with the morning's dew. She rested her head on a rough, brown log, letting her head gaze up into the early morning sky. The stars had begun to vanish and the moon had started to slowly disappear. The sky started turning light blue, signifying that in a few minutes, the sun would rise. Surrounding her were trees, towering high into the sky with the tree tops joining together, forming a shelter over her. Fluttershy inched her way to her left, leaving a huge empty space on her right. Turning her head towards the uninhabited spot, the yellow pony started to speak.

"S-sorry I'm late today.
The Force of Dreams, Prologue
Twilight raced around her library. Her eyes darted up and down every shelf, scanning the spines of the books. Rolls of parchment lay strewn all over the floor as she added more and more books to the large circular table that dominated the floorspace.

"Not this one. Not this one either... Not this one too!" Twilight whispered to herself as she opened book after book, flipping through all the pages in a matter of seconds before tossing it into a random area of the library.

The knocking on the door went unheard as Twilight continued to dash through the various rooms, reading any and every tome, bit of parchment or scroll that she could lay her
A Note Out of Place: Part 1"Hey, everypony, what's it take to liven up this crowd?" Vinyl Scratch's voice boomed through the quiet corridor of Canterlot Castle's grand corridor. Octavia never understood why she came to the Equestrian Musical Societies' meetings, they were pretty high class, just a bunch of rich ponies with a taste for classical music. Vinyl was acknowledged by the musical society, allowing her entry, but she never seemed to enjoy herself.

'I guess we just aren't the same company as the brutes with whom you spend your time.' Octavia brought a small glass of water to her lips, her conversation with Violo, an elegant stallion with a hoof for the violin,

"Good, are you ready?"

Rainbow Dash groaned. "You've asked me that like five times already."

"Okay, okay. I just want to make sure. This spell is interfering with our minds. If you're not relaxed enough or not expecting it –"

"And you also explained that the other five times." Dash put a hoof on Twilight's shoulder. She looked the magician in the eyes and gave her an encouraging smile. "I'm ready. Let's do this."

Twilight sighed, trying to calm down. "Alright. It's best if we lie down. We wouldn't want to fall over and wake up in the middle of it."

"Sounds good." Dash stretched her legs and spread herself across the har
Casualties of War: Prologue - Wounds of WarThe cold night air was unforgiving on the ponies as they gathered on the ground, scattered. The only noise breaking the silence was Rainbow's constant groaning and wincing, taking short breaths as the blood trickled down from under her left wing. Rainbow laid on her side on a thick piece of fabric laid down by Rarity, ensuring the cold ground does not reach Rainbow's body.

Fluttershy sat beside Rainbow, her hooves trembling as she opened her pouch and took out a long piece of white bandage with her mouth. Her eyes welled up with tears when her eyes took in Rainbow's condition. Rainbow's signature bright blue coat had lost its color, it had b
Rise and Fall - Chapter 1The entire club was sold out and overpacked with hundreds of ponies for the largest rave of the year in Ponyville. Strobe lights, lasers, and glowsticks lightened the atmosphere of the dark room with a mixture of bright, neon colors. Everypony partied and for what had seemed like days, drinking apple cider and dancing endlessly as if it was the last night of their lives. Octavia would not seem like the one to attend a type of event such as this. Normally she would be at home enjoying a peaceful sleep, but she was here for a different reason. She was here in support of her friend, Vinyl Scratch, better known by her stage name, DJ PON-3.

Twilight Sparkle watched as, for the umpteenth time, Rainbow Dash scribbled something out on her infernal notepad. She sighed and turned her attention back to her book, Starswirl the Bearded: Unappreciated Greatness, but found that she was still unable to block out the constant scratching of her friend's quill. The short, light noises where spaced just far enough apart to pull Twilight out of her zone every time she entered it—it was impossible to get any reading done at all!

With mild indignation, the unicorn remembered the first day Rainbow had

A Dysfunctional Diablo Party
Twilight trotted happily down the library steps with a huge grin plastered onto her face. A happy tune resonated from her lips as she finally reached the bottom of the steps, on the second floor of the library. She took a short moment to gaze out of the balcony, taking in the morning sun which had just freshly risen, bathing the whole of Ponyville in a warm and calming light.

"Oh Spike!" She sang out in a harmonious tone. Usually, the dragon would be immediately present in front of the unicorn, ready to attend to her every whim. However, this time there was only silence. No streak of purple rushing out from the kitchen, no loud answer of his

Author's Notes
The last part of my Remembrance series! (The other four fics are available on my profile) Longest fic yet and I'm very proud on how it turned out. As this is the 5th fic of the first collection of the Remembrance fics, I will be taken a short break and not release another Remembrance-based fanfic for a while.

Other than that, I hope you enjoy this story and do leave a comment stating what I can improve on/what I did well etc. I really do read every single comment I get and treasure each constructive criticism or praise I receive.

And for the first time ever, just using plain text was too big for Deviantart! As such, here's the huge PDF file :P

Amazing, my friend, pure amazement. You gave Daring such a fitting personality of adventure, suaveness, compassion, so many emotions that I envisioned in my mind. I wasnt reading a story, I was observing the dramatic life of an adventurer. This could actually be a short film if I do say so myself,but I gotta sat that I absolutely LOVE Raider and how he is with both Danger and his concern for Daring. But I think I found a typo:

"Raider led Danger through the streets of Manehattern, which was the nearest town from their most recent quest."
Didn't you mean Daring? And is that how you speel Manehattan?

Anywho, this was awesome, I read it all and was completely invested. Well done work here, Sycharge.
