A Dragon detective is called into action by a certain purple mare to recover some stolen property...

Author's Note: This is a Flash-Fic I wrote during a writing session with the #Equestria IRC channel on caffie.net. The prompt for this fic was "Mystery" and I only had thirty minutes to come up with and write a story based on the prompt. Slightly edited from its original version for grammatical purposes.

What if the Mane 6 was made up of everyone's (or at least my) favorite background ponies? This is an adventure that should never have happened, but somehow it did, and because the standard heros were unavailable a team that no one expected had to come forth to save Equestria.

For some reason I feel we're all doomed.

After a bad decision my life had apparently ended. The Grim Reaper was in a rush, but the big boys up there wouldn't allow it.

Cutting a deal with Death and ending up in a world I never thought I would see seemed like a blessing but soon, things got complicated. Was it a new chance, a dream coming true or was my soul still trapped somewhere between worlds?

I wrote this book so everyone would know the adventures of how I found the Stairway to Equestria.

Humans.

Truth or myth? Ancient lost civilization or just an old pony's tale?

No pony has ever seen one, and most haven't even heard of them. But Lyra knows that these wonderful creatures are more than just old legends, and she's going to find out... and possibly drive her roommate insane in the process.
