This story is a sequel to Just Horsing Around

Over a year has passed since Ryan found his way into this land of technicolor ponies, and he's adjusted pretty well despite many interesting truths coming to light and completely turning his world around. While he and his herd now have to deal with their new status as royalty, they've managed to keep their lives pretty much the same.
Unfortunately, things never remain quiet forever, and as they're about to find out, their greatest challenges still lay ahead.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It only took forever, but here it finally is! The long-awaited sequel to Just Horsing Around! We hope it's been worth the wait!

Across the vast sea of reality, multitudes of worlds exist in the great Omniverse. For every decision and variable, there is an Equestria that is unique to it's inter-dimensional neighbors. Normally, these boundaries are not easily broken, and the different realities know not of one another.
...unfortunately, thanks to lack of foresight and the cosmos being mischievous as always, DJ Sparkle and Malice are about to break that boundary in the hardest way possible. The consequences of such an action will make themselves known as this single act throws an entire other reality into disarray.
And to think, Ryan and Darkness Shade were hoping their trip to Canterlot after the escapade in Tartarus would be a relaxing one. Between having to deal with an inter-dimensional pone, his obnoxiously loud other self, and an evil cult hoping to capitalize on the instability between worlds to "resurrect" their chaotic master's "true self", it'll take all the heroes they can muster to save their herd, their home, and perhaps most of all: their sweet, sweet plots!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As teased at being real, and having taken on a life of it's own, Ryan and Darkness Shade of Just Horsing Around will finally have the tale be told of when they crossed paths with DJ Sparkle and Malice of My New Life With Ponies?!. Whether yer a fan of one story or both, this tale will most certainly not disappoint!

This story is a sequel to The Plot Before Christmas

In the same universe as The Plot Before Christmas...

Whilst cooking lunch for her human one day, Pinkie accidentally unleashes something that—once again—puts Ponyville in peril. Will she, her friends, their human Ryan as well as their friends Darkness Shade and Thunder Fire of the Bottom of the Plot detective agency be able to stop this spicy menace and save their home?

...p-probably. Ah mean, it's just a giant taco...how hard could it be to take down something like that?
...harder than you'd think.

~In Another Time, Another Place....~
Darkness Night Shade never expected he'd call a land full of multi-color ponies his home, but as one to roll with a situation he's found a good niche for himself as a freelance detective of sorts. Teamed up with a bright-eyed Pegasus pony that's about as silly as he is, the two have made the most of the time since his arrival there. But one day, when somepony threatens to ruin Christmas for—
Hearth's Warming Eve~
Dang it Thunder Fire, stop ruining the description. Ahem, but when somepony threatens to ruin the Holidays for his friends, these two will go on a silly, wacky little adventure to save the day and bring about Christmas cheer.

(This story was written as a little goofy Christmas gift for mah friend Andrea over on dA. It was silly enough that Ah figured y'all might enjoy it too. It's a one shot but if'n enough of you like the two of them together Ah might write in this version of reality again one day. So give it a read and Merry Christmas to all! Oh, and there are other ponies in it, but Ah didn't tag them to keep it a surprise. )

While writing Just Horsing Around, I had the idea to write a story for a particular event happening on another site; noting it wouldn't really fit well in JHA proper I decided to make a spin-off series of tales called 'Pony Tails' in which I could write little one-offs that are usually ideas I come up with that fit better on their own or are bits I allude to happening in the main story's timeline but work better as a silly idea all their own. These come a little slower, but nonsense makes itself known at it's own choosing so I don't doubt more than what is posted will show up. XD

Oh and, it goes without saying, these will possibly have some spoilers for interactions or events that happen in the main story, so read with caution if ya don't want anything spoiled. I'll try to remember to put in the author's note which chapter you should read up to if ya don't want the Pony Tail to spoil anything...but I won't ever spoil anything big...or at least try not to anyway.

Ryan was a guy who, while not having a great life, had one that was passable and wasn't anything to gripe about; however he felt lost in what it had all become...but that changes soon enough when he finds himself in a place that's like his world but not, and comes to find friendship with those residing there; in particular one southern gal starts to catch his eye and so a tale of silliness, laughs, love, and even action begins as he adjusts and finds a way to make a new start in Equestria...and on Sweet Apple Acres.

(My first ever MLP:FiM fanfic since this series is just so awesome and AppleJack is also mah fave pony. I go a little crazy with how I set stuff up but I hope ya find it an entertaining read.)
