The land of Equestria has reached a new age of prosperity. Following what could only be described as a technological revolution, poverty and disease are now almost non-existent and ponykind has begun to reach outwards into the solar system around them. However with every step forward, the risk of disaster becomes ever greater, and in the new age of technology the use of magic is becoming more and more redundant. Every day ponies cry out for help, desperate for somepony to answer.

The increasing frustration over the ever growing death count causes Princess Celestia to turn to her once student turned fellow princess Twilight Sparkle for a solution. What they come up with is nothing like anything she could have anticipated, but infinitely better.

Twilight makes contact with her old Ponyville friends, the once-guardians of the Elements of Harmony, taking them to an uncharted island where a base of operations is constructed. The base for an organisation the likes of which has nopony has ever seen before.

Equestrial Rescue.

But what is it that sets them apart from conventional means of rescue? Their machines. Five state-of-the-art rescue craft, technological marvels created for the sole purpose of saving the lives of ponies in need.

The Wonderbirds.

Set 20 Years after the Season 3 finale.

Crossover with the hit 1960's TV show Thunderbirds, which is the property of the Gerry Anderson Legacy and ITV Studios. You don't need to watch any episodes of the show before reading this, but some inside jokes and references may go over your head if you choose not to. It's a great show though, so give it a try. You won't regret it.

Edited by the fabulous peeps named Hopeless Appraisal and Quylaa.

UPDATE 2023: Story on hiatus indefinitely, I just don't have the time or energy these days to commit myself to a full-length story. Leaving on hiatus as opposed to cancelled, just so I don't burn that bridge for myself in case things ever change. For now, this original story post will remain for posterity, and the tale will continue periodically as a series of one-shots and short stories. Links to those can be found here:

I: Into the Storm
II: Beneath the Abyss
III: Deluge of Flame

This story is a sequel to Past Sins

In the wake of the battle with Tirek, Twilight Sparkle becomes fixated on restoring Golden Oaks Library. After all, it was home for her little family of three. But as her attempts to repair the books and tree continuously fail, her friends must take matters into their own hooves. Discord, as the good friend he is, tosses Twilight and her extended family into an unexpected adventure while Twilight's other friends get to work on the new crystal palace.

All together, they'll do everything to ensure Twilight and her family have a place to call home when they reach the end of the road.

Dear Princess Celestia,
There are many things on the World that can perplex the minds of many, but they are not unsolvable. I believe that with a little effort, we will come to comprehend the everything about inner workings of our World, and how these mysteries came to be. In fact, I'm about to tackle the challenge of understanding a strange pony that has rolled into town, and she did not get here by chariot.

Your faithful student,
Twilight Sparkle
Author Notes:
~ I have no idea who the creator of Wheely Bopper is. I just wish he/she would come out so I could give the wonderful artist the credit he/she deserves. I think I might have found him. His tumblr is turned-a, and if you go there, you'll find a lot of sketches of the cutie! I believe he is the owner because of the trophy in the cover art. Look at it: it's an upside down A. Turned-A Tumblr.

Note: I might add to this story in the future when I think of more ideas or, mainly, when I have any time at all. But for now, it's 'Completed'.

Follow Gryph as he remembers his adventures in Ponyville and his attempts at learning the ways of being, and living as, a pony

Sequel(s) to The Doctor and the Pegasus

They're off! Series of adventures with the Doctor and Rainbow Dash after they've left Equestria. Ranging in rating. Locations include alien and human worlds, plus Equestria.

Tenth Doctor

The Doctor crash lands in Equestria. The TARDIS tried to stop it; she didn't do it. The thing is, Rainbow Dash got hit. Literally.

The whole of ponydom is about to come crumbling down unless the Doctor can stop it.

The whole world.

And who will help the Time Lord?

Not really Doctor Whooves, as this isn't following any guidelines of his life. No Derpy, no Dinky. So, yeah. 10th Doctor. Based somewhat off "Doctor Whooves and the Assistant" though.

Five years ago, a storm brought a strange winged pony to The Village. Now, she lives at the edge of this small society, cast out, but unable to leave. As a year of terrible misfortune befalls the Villagers, they look for somepony to blame, and long-standing tensions begin to come to a head.

Soon, one side must break, for in The Village, there is neither friendship nor magic.

Hybridization of MLP:FiM and Inception.

Twilight Sparkle has learned a new trick; a spell that allows her and her friends to enter realistic dream worlds within the margin of their subconscious. But these dreams are as malleable as they are dangerous, and each additional trip they take into the mind to study this new magic threatens to cause them serious harm and skew Twilight's perception of reality.

Meanwhile, Spike is beginning to struggle with an old demon of his again. Only this time, his greed is more tempting, more malicious, and sentient: scheming to consume his every thought like a virus until there is nothing left of him but avarice.

In danger of watching their friend become their new nemesis, Twilight, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Fluttershy must travel deep into Spike's subconscious and plant a thought in his mind that will forever make him contradict his dragon heart's innate inclination for greed. However, their mission will not be easy, their journey will not be safe, nor may their intentions even be justifiable in the face of their actions.

But sometimes, to save your friends, you must change them.

Twilight Sparkle has obtained the combined power of all four princesses of Equestria. Wielding this power, she confronts Lord Tirek, but the result of their fight is a tie. When he holds her friends hostage, she is forced to make a difficult choice.

All is not lost, however: one force remains in Equestria that could give her the edge she needs to defeat her foe, save her friends, and restore the world. She need only retrieve it from Zecora and place it around her neck...
