Girls repulse you. All those tea parties and cooties and pink bows and stuff. A smart ten year old colt like yourself wants nothing to do with them! You're perfectly happy playing with your model train set. But when the Cutie Mark Crusaders chase you down to discover the secrets of gaining a Cutie Mark, you find there's more to those fillies than you think. Especially their ringleader, Apple Bloom.

The world is a big place with big problems, and frankly, the Elements of Harmony can't always be there to fix it. When a dark magic threatens the Crystal Kingdom, Princess Cadance is forced to bring together six complete strangers into a group called the Elements of Love. Unfortunately, battling an unknown entity together may not be the easiest thing for a couple of strangers to handle...

Gave this an AU tag, since this story was written before the Crystal Empire backstory was established. Assumes that the Crystal Empire has always been there, and Cadance ruled for quite some time.

Twilight Sparkle must go to Ponyville to oversee the Summer Sun Celebration. She sends Spike to check on the preparations so she can study Nightmare Moon and the Elements of Harmony. She meets five unlikely ponies that may turn out to be her friends and the key to defeating Nightmare Moon, as well as other challenges.

How will Twilight deal with Nightmare Moon's return? How will she handle these ponies? And just how different will everything turn out? Read to find out!
