Sombra, or whatever it is the Crystal Heart left behind, has ventured forth and conquered his new domain behind the till at a McTrotnald's joint in Manehattan. As he seeks to consolidate and expand his newfound kingdom he quickly finds a host of potential new subjects to subjugate befriend. If only they weren't mostly mafia, bat gangs, changeling yakuza and bicycle ponies complete wackos after his hot sexy plot power and might....

Coco Pommel, a decent definitely-not-thestral, lives a decent life, works a decent job, earns a decent living. She is certain the fashion house she works for, Mane Event, is going places, even if it's currently stuck on the second floor above a McTrotnald's joint. She is oblivious to the fact that she is the much-coveted object of adoration of many stallions. She is oblivious to many things. But she finds it hard to be oblivious to the ruckus that comes from that fast food restaurant downstairs, harder still to resist getting dragged in...

Neither expected to ever end up stuck together, at least not this way. But as they quickly learn, there's no living on expectations in the poor but lively Manehattan slums of the Four Hooves District. Together with the band of misfits and social outcasts that make up their lives they must go out and seize it - their Midnight Empire.

Contains the following strong themes underneath: struggling against oppression, discrimination and biggotry, poverty and desperation,. This is a story of unity in diversity, of love and friendship that transcends differences, and the pursuit of freedom.

Written to the tune of The Manehattan Smile by Matthew Mosier which I think nicely captures the feel of this story.

Underneath its shining exterior and gleaming buildings, the streets of Manehatten are much darker than they appear. A secret war wages within the streets, and Coco Pommel has stumbled into it.

Ponyville is one of the largest cities in Equestria, a center for trade and finance, a melting pot of many races, tribes, and cultures. It is also a place where corruption is a way of life. Here, the cops that aren't on the take are forever chasing their own tails, citizens live in fear, and gangs battle for control of the streets.

Daring Do has just been released from prison after a year-long sentence for thievery, and no one is about to let her forget her place. Phillip Finder is a local private detective and the bane of the Ponyville Police Department. The new partners quickly find themselves at ground zero of a city-wide gang war; surrounded by dirty cops, mobsters, assassins, and bizarre crimes, they can only rely on each other and a few honest ponies for aid.

They're hardly heroes. Which means they may be exactly what Ponyville needs.

A bit of background...

Three years ago, I introduced Phillip Finder in my first fanfiction, "The Pony in the Gray Trilby." Over the next many months, I kept writing and eventually turned my first work into a twenty-story series. I learned much and enjoyed the stories' moderate success, but unfortunately, I became dissatisfied with them over time. I realize that it's perhaps a bit of a cliche that many artists end up hating their own work, but for both Tchaikovsky and myself, it is the truth.

I initially planned to write this story as a prequel to the series, focusing on Phillip Finder and Daring Do. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that I wanted to improve upon my work, but felt as though I was being held back by the original series. While I am proud of my first stories for what I learned and gained through them, I decided that the best course of action for me, what would make me the happiest, would be to wipe the slate clean and start again from the basic foundations.

That's where this story comes in. A semi-reboot of the original series, the adventures contained herein, set in a vastly different alternate universe and replete with a mixture of reinterpreted and original characters, are the culmination of all the experience that I gained writing the original series. This is Phillip Finder and company as I meant them to be.

I hope that you enjoy reading this story as much as I enjoy writing it!

Rarity and Coco are invited to a warehouse in Manehatten to display their best sets of clothing. Little did they know that a certain comic book villain would be waiting for them. With a plan in mind to defeat her six adversaries once and for all. Will Rarity and Coco succumb to Mane-iac's Tickle Torture? Or will they use their friendship to defeat the fiend?

Octavia has become complacent in her everyday life. She struggles with her job, her position in the Royal Canterlot Orchestra, and the back and forth of the Hoops she must constantly dive through to feel 'Successful' . Only to come to terms with herself, that she will not find success in a title. That Happiness is not in a big, dark, empty house every night, with not a friend in sight every time she wishes to socialize.

Her life has been an uphill battle from the day she was born, to where she sits now, her determination unwavering but her hooves becoming stale. Her life is a bore and the world outside of "Her World," Canterlot's Elite, the safety of Big City life, and the countless nobles who only ever attend social gatherings to slap their money around. are boring. Her life has become null and her passion to surpass expectation, void. So. Now she must ask herself, while she can still decide. What must she do in her life to make a difference? For herself? . The only Pony whom she's ever, EVER had to care for?

Change of course. Make that big, scary, leap of faith and try something new. Something unexpected. And break the mold others have made around her.

This story is about, 3 or 4 years old now I think. I made this story in a grey void in my life, and found some. Inspirational Music by an Artist who has since left the Fandom. You may have heard of him, "Evening Star"
(Edit 6/27/20: He's returned! Sort of- he's remaking all of this music! It's really touching.)

This story is dedicated to everyone. Even those who don't like Octavia, for whatever reasons you might have.

This story is for everyone. For everyone willing to read it, and for everyone willing to enjoy it, and see it for what it is. I have held this short, meaningless story close to my chest, because it has been my proudest work. And I have kept it in complete and total secret because it was so important to me, because it was how my heart and my mind figured out where I wanted to go with my life. And now, I think is time to give it to you all.

With the Fandom seeming so strange and different than when I originally wrote this story, I think now might just be the perfect time to give it to the Fandom. Though. I know that it won't be likely seen by many, I hope that for those of you who do find it. It will make you smile. Your day will be beautiful and your life will be more colorful.

And may it remind you, of better times. Times from whence you came while looking ahead, at the big and scary new world ahead. May it help you find your path to. "To Something New."

Inspired by Dogger807’s hilarious story, “Magic School Days,” here on FiMfiction. While there is humour (and tree-sap) in this story, that is not its only focus.

Wow, Sir Chaos Omega made a TV-Tropes page for the story! Thanks!

Published on the FiMfiction website with the kind forbearance of the copyright owners of My Little Pony (Hasbro) and the Harry Potter series (Scholastic Press).

The timeline for “My Little Pony” is messed up. That is, if you look closely, the order of the shows as aired is out of order of their logical sequence. Evidence: in Swarm of the Century (#10) we see the dresses that Rarity makes in Suited for Success (#14) — so unless Rarity time-travelled, #14 should take place before #10! Also, in The Ticket Master (#3), the other five seem to know Twilight and Spike quite well, yet in Boast Busters (#6) they don’t seem to know Twilight at all.

With careful attention to details such as those, you can put the three years of episodes prior to Princess Twilight Sparkle (#65, Season Four) into a two-year stretch of time. If you work hard enough, you can even squeeze them down to one five-season stretch of Summer to Summer.

I used the two-year seven-part timeline mapped out by deviantart’s tobyandmavisforever (do a Google search for “tobyandmavisforever mlp timeline” as the fastest way to find them). Thus, Harry arrives in Equestria shortly after the Crystal Empire two-part episode, and Twilight and Spike have been in Ponyville just under a year even though the Crystal Empire episodes start the third year of My Little Pony.

A day after her ascendence, Twilight was in the basement of her library to practice with some spells, but an accident occurs which leads her to find an ancient room with a long-forgotten knowledge of the past hidden inside. The secrets she will find might very well change Equestria's fate forever.
