Trixie has a bad run in with the Trottingham ponies, but one stands up for her and offers his services as a bodyguard. She accepts and they embark on a journey to find the one true audience Trixie deserves.

Equestria's beloved ruler, Princess Celestia, Goddess of the Sun and Monarch of the Day begins to look on all that she has created. Together with her loving sister Luna, she created a boundless paradise that united ponies of all kinds under a glorious and prosperous society.
However, during an unexpected and unprovoked attack on the Palace, a single pony stood between the Sun Goddess and her would-be assassin, a Changeling infiltrator. The lowly guard pony gave his life to protect his queen, and it was then that Celestia realised the price of life, and how very precious it is. Unable to bear the guilt of the guard's sacrifice, Celestia finds solice in the only pony she knew the guard best, and one who she knows would understand her - her guard captain, Shining Armour.

When a supposedly-Forerunner artifact activates on-board the UNSC Guam, turning everyone on board into ponies, It sets in motion a clash of forces, ideals, and dimensions that could save humanity in its darkest hour, or doom the peaceful land of Equestria to burn in a war never meant for them.

This story starts some time before the season 2 finale, but after the other episodes of season two. Season 3 stuff will only be used if I find a reason for it/don't think it's OP (I'm looking at you Twilicorn and Mirror Pool.)
This story also takes place before Halo: Reach, so don't expect things to stick very close to the games.

Minimalistic cover art was made by me in Microsoft Paint, because I have buck-all else to work with.

Character tags will be added as they become major players.

This story is based on the Aviators hit song Applebuckin'. A new colt comes into town, a little confrontation at first. AJ takes the colt in and cleans him up and invites him for a job on the farm. He accepts, but only for work, or so he plans. As the summer progresses, AJ and this colt find there's more than just the summer sun giving off heat. Will these two lovers admit to each other how they feel or will both stubborn ponies break before they even begin?

Spartan A-042 finds himself on a mission gone wrong when he winds up in a land of talking ponies and other magical creatures as he struggles to comprehend how he got there, why he is there and above all, how can he leave.

Your name is... well you forgot, something with a 'D' you think. That crash landing you had in the back of the Canterlot Club, caused you to forget a few things. You have a new job as the Wonderbolts 'Handyman' and develop close relationships with the members of the team... specifically Spitfire

This is going to be a small series I will do on the side every once in a while when I need a break from my other stories. This is my first second person fick, and I hope you like it.
