Title: Here is My Hoof (named after the 1930's play "Here is My Heart")

Synopsis: When the CMC decide to tryout for the Ponyville school musical and only Sweetie Belle makes the cut, the crew's relationship is strained and Sweetie Belle is left with a dilemma.

Important points for the plot to work correctly:

-Fluttershy must not come off as preachy, but rather concerned for Gummy.

-Fluttershy has to show an understanding of how much Pinkie cares about Gummy.

-Pinkie needs to be understandably reluctant at first, but maturely decide that it might be for the best.

-No insults or false accusations should be stated between the two, but a disagreement is necessary.

-Gummy must go with his kind, but in a strange act of sentience return to Pinkie (proves their bond).

Title: The Princess and the Pompous

Synopsis: Rarity asks for Twilight's help in showing off her new fashion line "Ravishing Royalty" in Trottingham, to which she gladly accepts. Rarity's line becomes a hit, and they gain some notoreity among the locals. While Rarity basks in the attention she recieves, Twilight grows tired of being constantly in the spotlight of the fashionista society.

Notes:

-Twilight can "hop off" of the fashionista's radar at any point, but worries about disappointing Rarity.

-Rarity mustn't even imply that she would actually be disappointed if Twilight bowed out.

-Spike will be along for Twilight to voice her concerns to.

-The fashion sophisticates mustn't be annoying, but rather just show that they want to mingle with Twi.

-The Mane 6 will not factor into the story, because Twi and Rarity aren't trying to leave their friends in any way.

-Moral: "You shouldn't worry about disappointing a friend over something you don't want to do. A true friend will understand your decision in the end."
