This story is a sequel to Right

It's been a year since the changeling invasion of Canterlot, where Twilight Sparkle discovered Fluttershy's true nature. Since then, the shy pegasus has been more isolated than usual, scared of what may happen if anypony else were to find out what she truly was: a changeling raised by ponies since she was a foal.

After much poking and prodding from Twilight, she decides that she'll tell the other element of harmony bearers all at once. When her friends all arrive, and Fluttershy reveals her true form, the two find themselves under attack by their friends. Fluttershy and Twilight escape at the last moment, not entirely sure what just happened, and find themselves in a forest that neither pony recognizes, with no way of getting home that they can see.

They are totally alone. And totally lost.

It's not every day that you find a Wolf-Pony, much less one who has gained some measure of control over the curse. After the reclusive pony saves the lives of her and her friends in the Everfree Forest, she feels a need to do something to help him. For the first time in her life, however, Twilight comes across a problem that neither magic nor her considerable intellect can solve. Perhaps someone from her past will be able to help her come to terms with these feelings of impotence.

A few months after the events of Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000, Applejack decides to officially integrate the others into her family with an Apple tradition: a long night of cider drinking.

The next morning Applejack wakes up...in Twilight's bed...with a gold band on her hoof...and a legally binding document on the bedside table...

Just as a lonely man once found a filly Rainbow Dash, so did a tiny Scootaloo turn up in the backyard of a loving couple with no children of their own. Years later, Prof. T. Sparkle, Ph.D, writes the official biography of one particular Earth's first Pony citizen, with instructions to 'talk to anyone you need to and don't censor anything.' Rated T and now 20% cooler.

A ten page short:
What if all the magic we see in the show is exactly what it appears to be? Does that concept scare you? It should.
After a shocking discovery changes his life, a young griffon follows in the hoofprints of his childhood hero, and mounts an expedition deep into the frozen west.

Both 'The Brightest Shine' and 'Piracy' redirect here, and with good reason; read on and it will make sense.

This story is a sequel to Our Girl Scootaloo 2 of 3

Just as a lonely man once found a filly Rainbow Dash, so did a tiny Scootaloo turn up in the backyard of a loving couple with no children of their own. Years later, Prof. T. Sparkle, Ph.D, writes the official biography of this-particular-Earth's first Pony citizen, with instructions to 'talk to anyone you need to and don't censor anything.' Rated T and now 20% cooler.

Part three - the 'rescue' mission

Now twenty years after her arrival, Scootaloo has grown up, gone to medical school, and is working through her residency with the paramedics at her alma mater. With her husband David (and the help of medical research) she has given birth to two adorable young foals, Sophie Belle and Chaya Jayne.

The world in 2033 is significantly different because of her presence; hundreds of millions of people have survived terminal illness because of treatments reverse-engineered from her DNA, her ability to fly is understood and ships using her ElectoMagnetic Field Repulsion Drive leave weekly to support the fledgling human colonies on Mars and the moons of Jupiter. This and hundreds of other technologies, from the spectacular to the mundane, can all be traced to the willing volunteerism of Earth's first Pony citizen; yet Scootaloo manages to live as normal a life as can be expected for a doctor in residency, wife, MedEvac doctor, new mother and extreme-sports enthusiast who also happens to be the world-famous, well-beloved first of her kind who many regard as having personally saved the world. (Yeah, she thinks it's completely weird, but it mostly works.)

From the perspective of the Mane Six, it has been only three weeks since the accident that stranded Rainbow and Scootaloo on different human worlds, and one week since they 'rescued' Dashie from her adoptive father's home outside Detroit. Rainbow and Dashie are still sharing a body after their memories failed to combine properly, though they have at least stopped fighting with each other... most of the time.

But now Celestia has found the world Scootaloo was sent to, and will be departing with the Mane Six to 'rescue' her, just as she did at the end of 'My Little Dashie'.

What could possibly go wrong?

On a dark day, one may wonder: just what horrors lie beyond the veil of the heavens? What ghastly demons exist that could only spawn in a pony's dreams? What terror!? What blight in the face of all that is good!? What- wait, it's the Mane Six?

What sort of twisted reality contains a lycan Applejack, a vampiric Fluttershy, a ghostly Rarity, and a lich queen Twilight Sparkle, you may ask? Why, it's just the Nightmare Realm, existing one and a half dimensions below and above the normal Equestria, and they are sick and tired of Nightmare Night not living up to its name in the 'real' world.

However, are these nightmares truly nightmares, or do they just like a good scare? Why, it depends on who you're talking to! So sit tight, give way to fright, for coming soon is Nightmare Night!

An undead Emperor in need of a new body. A Spartan lost in space. A ragtag team on a suicide mission. What do they all have in common? They all wind up on the magical world of Equestria, where war has been forgotten. That, however, is soon about to change.
When each of them is about to be retrieved, ancient evils arise to unleash hell upon the unsuspecting world. When the forces of three galaxies clash around them, can our favorite ponies hold out against the onslaught?
This is a crossover involving Warhammer 40k, Halo, Mass Effect and MLP, and is also my first fanfic. Comments and reviews are welcome.
Rated T for language, violence, and general adult situations.

The three fillies of our story are so desperate to get their Cutie Marks that they've formed the not-so-secret secret society, the Cutie Mark Crusaders. After having Crusaded around their hometown of Ponyville, they turn their sights to the wonders beyond (even if traveling by themselves gets them in trouble with their sisters).

But outside of their not-so-peaceful peaceful town, they find that not everything is as wonderful as it seems and they very well may be the only ones who can do something about it (along with help from a couple of new friends).

Follow the Cutie Mark Crusaders as they search for their special talents but end up finding more about themselves and each other than they ever imagined, in the exciting Adventures of the Cutie Mark Crusaders - Fillies on a Mission!

This, if you haven't noticed, is a long story. There is still much more to come as well. There are a lot of slice of life stuff at the start, but not all adventure stories start off with loud explosions and huge disasters; the girls have a long journey of discovery ahead of them and not all of it promises to be nice quiet little things. Also, the alternate tag is for the fact that they will get their cutie marks, eventually; and the crossover tag is in case some of the references I plan to do is too much for a 'normal' story.

A huge thanks goes to Gwg who helped collaborate this with me as well as editing and proofreading the chapters
With some help by Tangoforce for anything we missed

Eridium is a strange element. The Planet of Pandora is seemingly rife with the stuff, and it's strange properties are exploited on a constant basis by vault hunters and savages alike.

Few expect, however, for there to be another world possessing this element. And what's more, few would expect that world to be inhabited by the kind of sugar-coated sickly sweet environment and inhabitants that would make a stoic and solid combatant lose his lunch.

Eridium does strange things when used by those with access to technology. But how would it react to magic?
