We already know that there exists an alternative universe where the Elements of Harmony bearers are stallions. And we already know that in that universe rule 63 is in full effect.

But whoever said rule 63 is the only way to create a stallion mane six? What if show canon stallions took up the roles of the mane six?

Well you're about to find out.

After learning from his sister Twilight Sparkle about the potential return of Nightmare Moon Shining Armor tries to warn Princess Celestia.

Not long afterward the youngest member of the royal guard learns he will be traveling to Ponyville to oversee security for the upcoming Summer Sun Celebration, and while he's there he is to make some friends. A task that Shining Armor doesn't think is that important. That soon changes.

(First and foremost yes this is an O.C. story. But it is not a shameless self insert fic, nor does it involve shipping of any sort. Note the lack of a romance tag. I promise you that the O.C. you see here will not be personally related to or personally know any of the ponies you're already familiar with.)

Josh Hooves is a fine up standing citizen of Ponyville. Or at least that's what he always believes. He does his best to mind his own business.

He may not be the most intresting pony in Ponyville, but that may not be such a bad thing.

So have you ever wondered what life in Ponyville is like for your average Joe? Well you're about to find out as you go through a typical day for Josh Hooves.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders have always wondered why no one ever seems to do anything about Diamond Tiara's behavior. It's as if she's invisible or something.

But the CMC are about to learn that the real reason is something they could never have imagined. Diamond Tiara has been dead for a while. But that can only mean one thing, Diamond Tiara is a ghost.

Now the three blank flanks must find out why Diamond Tiara is haunting Ponyville and why she has not left the land of the living. And they'd better be fast, if they can't find a reason soon Diamond Tiara will remain a ghost forever!

(Tagged Alternative Universe because obviously Diamond Tiara will still be alive and kicking in Season 4.)

(First and foremost this fic is based off of My Littlest Pony: Friendship Starts Small by Tatsurou. It is highly recommended that you read that first in order to understand some of what happens here, especially why this is tagged Alternative Universe.)

Fluttershy is the oldest of her new friends, so naturally that means she should be fully potty trained considering her age. But there's one thing that's holding her back, she's scared of the toilet. And who could blame her?

Naturally Rainbow Dash can't resist the chance to tease Fluttershy about it. Even if she's not entitled to such a right. And even more naturally Rainbow Dash can't resist a chance to show off, regardless of the likely outcome.

So now Rainbow Dash has a chance to leap ahead of her friends in terms of potty training, if she can do it. But considering her age and her size that's going to be easier said then done. Perhaps she should've thought twice about opening her big mouth.

It's back and better then ever!

After weeks of struggling to secure the funds required to continue broadcasting Wub Radio has returned to the airwaves.

Vinyl Scratch and her new talk show friends discuss questions that are submitted to them by their listeners. And things quickly get out of control. After all you never know what those DJs are getting up to.

New chapters will be uploaded on a weekly basis with hopefully at least two chapters per week. All chapters will answer questions submitted in the comments section. All questions must be PG-13 or under. (Nothing Mature)

This is a continuation of Wub Radio by Nexosaur.

Rarity is a mare of high standards on just about everything. That includes hygiene.

So naturally when her toilet clogs up she's going to panic. But once that's over with what is she going to do?

With the local repair company busy with other customers Rarity decides to call in a new friend of Fluttershy's to get the job done.

(A quick little idea that came to me after a thread on the Crossover group. Warning: Sanity not included. Takes place after Rayman Raving Rabbids 2.)

(This is an unofficial story mode for the cancelled project Fighting is Magic. It takes place between Seasons 1 and 2.)

Noticing that her subjects have grown bored and hunger for entertainment Princess Celestia decides to create a fighting tournament to attract the best fighters from Equestria and beyond.

Before long announcements for the Equestria Battle Tournament begin to show up in every city and town, including Ponyville.

Twilight, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, and Fluttershy all decide to enter the tournament but each of them have a different reason for doing so.

And in addition to potentially fighting each other they'll also have to fend off several other ponies that are also hoping to win. Not to mention the final battle is against Princess Celestia herself.

In this tournament it's no holds bared and winner takes all. Who will come out on top?

Equestrian Science Center Project #2010, Code Name: Sweetie Bot

Intended to be the perfect little sister to anyone that purchased it. Contains incredibly realistic flesh like armor.

Recently it has to come to my attention through the project engineers, that there is a glitch present in the prototype. The glitch caused Sweetie Bot to become self aware.

After checking the database I have discovered that said prototype was purchased by Magnum and Peral Belle, meaning the prototype's current whereabouts remain unknown.

I fear that if this Sweetie Bot prototype were to realize that she is actually a robot the emotional tramua might cause her to go on an uncontrollable rampage. And it could only be stopped by someone that it knows and trusts.

Project Superviser, X

This information was never intended to see the light of day but somehow has found its way into the hands of Rarity Belle, a young up and coming fashion star. Now she faces the difficult task of breaking the news to "Sweetie Belle".

But how will "Sweetie Belle" react to the news? And will this change the sibling relationship she has with Rarity?

Ever since the failed invasion of Canterlot the changelings have been desperate for love. Without it they fear that they may soon drop dead.

Chrysalis the queen of the changelings take notice of this situation and having longed for someone to call her own decides now might be the time to give the changelings a king.

She finds a worthy suitor in the form of King Sombra and sets to work on bringing him to the land of the changelings. Will Chrysalis actually be married this time? And more importantly will King Sombra say I do?

Big Macintosh is a stallion of few words and he prefers it that way.

Of course that doesn't mean he doesn't have stuff that he wants. Far from it in fact. But the thing he wants most is have to a good day.

That might be easier said then done however and there's only so much one guy can take.
