2022 REWRITE IN PROGRESS

After being rudely awoken from Cryo-sleep, John-117 finds that the Forward Unto Dawn has been sucked into a gravity well, causing it to fall towards an unknown planet. In the crash, he is separated from Cortana and falls alone into the Everfree forest. In addition to this new complication, old memories from a scarred and tragic past haunt his dreams, putting his remaining sanity on edge.

However, he has little time to ponder these thoughts, as he encounters the planet's... peculiar... inhabitants.

First 19 Chapters proofread by Bravo 539 and Shadownamesto.

Current rewrite will not necessarily follow the old story but certain events and details may be reused.

Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy thought they were going to help banish Discord for a third time with their friends and the two princesses. That was precisely what was happening until they both found themselves suddenly transported to a strange new world under a flashing pink sky.

A man named Doug "TheSlorg" Collins finds two young women who are naked, confused, and smell of fudge in the Australian Outback. He then reluctantly agrees to help them return home. But when "home" turns out to be Ponyville, things become a bit more complicated than he bargained for.

Thanks to all the people who wrote the page and all the people who gave me a little wakeup call and comment to become aware of that fact! You can't see it, but you guys put a real smile on my face tonight.

Also, recently, extra thanks to RD Dash for giving TBNE a thorough editing. I've updated the fic accordingly (7.11.12)

Pinkie Pie has been struggling with terrible nightmares of herself murdering her friends for months. It has gotten to the point where the dreams are starting to escape into her waking hours. But then she finds help in an altogether unexpected place: a mysterious unicorn named Answer. But Answer has dark secrets of his own, and only time will tell how things turn out for the two of them.

One thousand years later, the mortality-defying guardspony, Warden, has returned to his place at Luna's side. He has traveled a rough path, but he has barely glimpsed the lengths of the longest journey that awaits them...

A one-off story. Princess Celestia calls back Twilight to take over her duties as court magician and Applejack goes with - and gets more of a taste of her govenment than she wanted.

And then she insults Celestia's cooking skills.
