    Nightmare Night, the perfect time to cut loose and go wild! Or so Rainbow Dash thinks; Fluttershy, not so much. So when Rainbow pays her a tame, friendly visit, she stumbles upon a Discord tea party and - amid all the usual draconequus nonsense - wonders how he'd take to the holiday of horror.

    Valuable Time, or Dolce Far Niente by Impossible Numbers

    The Month of Fall by Ivory Piano
    Within the Wonderbolts, only a select few are chosen to perform death-defying stunts for a cheering crowd of thousands of ponies. This year, Rainbow Dash was not one of those few. A bet and a race against Spitfire might prove her last chance to get in. But in order to win, she needs an ace up her sleeve, a trump card. She needs a coach, someone that understands flying at an innate level.
    She never thought that someone would be Big Macintosh.

    If there's one thing that everypony in Equestria knows, it's that Rainbow Dash is the most athletic mare ever. There's no competition she can't win, no accolade she can't earn, no feat of strength she can't accomplish! She can do anything!
    That is, anything except impress her father.
    Although she tries to hide it, all Rainbow has ever wanted to do in life is make her father—world champion strongpony Rainbow Blaze—proud of her, by bulking up and becoming a strongpony just like him. But no matter how hard she tries, she can't do it! Her body just isn't made to get swole like that!
    On the day of the annual Equestrian Strongpony Competition, Princess Luna grants Rainbow's wish to become the single strongest, most muscular mare in all of Equestria. Will winning the competition be enough to impress her father? Or is Rainbow destined to live life as a failure?

    Sleeping Habits by Redric Carrun
    Rainbow Dash has rather a poor reputation when it comes to her workload. Everypony always thinks of her as the pony who takes three naps during daylight hours, and four on weekends, and always seems to be looking for something to do to pass the time. All of this is true, of course. But ponies seem to think this means that she must not ever get very much work done.
    Can the weather captain for all of Ponyville really be as lazy as she seems? Is that the only explanation for Rainbow Dash's free time and constant napping?
    The weather is a full-time job. Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. And the worst weather happens at night.
    So weather ponies have strange sleeping habits.

    This Isn't War by KingMoriarty
    Rainbow Dash was the Iron Wing. She was a war hero, the Slayer of Shadows, the Liberator of the Crystal Empire, the Wrath of Celestia. And depending on who you ask, she still is.
    But the war is over. There's little need for a pony like her in peacetime. So she keeps telling herself that she needs to adjust, that she needs to find a new role to fill in the world that she saved. But Equestria seems content to let her remain what she has become, even though they have no need of a warrior.
    "This isn't how it's supposed to be", is something she keeps telling herself. But every time she says it, the only thing she can reply is, "so what should it be?"
    One whole year after the close of the war, and Rainbow Dash still doesn't have the answer.
