Twilight Sparkle wakes up one morning to a harsh dose of unreality. She is stranded, without her friends, on an island which matches no known locale on Equestria. Surrounded and harried on all sides by the alien and the dangerous, she will find her mettle sorely tested, and find perhaps that the best friends you will ever have in your life are the ones you make when your back is to the wall...

Thanks to CedricBale and noobie56xx for tracking down the name of the artist so I could give them credit.

*HIATUS UPDATE 10/15/2018: There is currently no set schedule for the remake of this story, but I assure you that it still has not been canceled. I get regular comments, favorites, and emails that all point towards this being a beloved story worth finishing, so one day I will do just that. Thank you all for your time and patience!*
Ever since they were little colts, the Flim Flam brothers had a dream; a dream to make a wondrous machine to set their lives on the fast track to success. The machine, known as the Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000, was missing just one component to make it all complete. Just one elusive item that no sane pony or pony with values would ever consider using:

Fresh dragon's breath.

Guess what I am.

I was taken from my home, my family, and my wings were slashed. I am no longer a person, I am simply a cog; a cog in the Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000.

This is the beginning of my wonderful tale.

You had never understood this lavender unicorn. The way she thinks. The way she acts. Even the way she smiles at you. But you had never regretted the night you asked her out. But deep down, you see she's troubled, in fact depressed, obviously scarred by the shocking events that once happened to her.

Would you be able to heal her scars, as well as win her heart? All on the same night?

Lightning Dust gave her all when it came to attacking a treacherous Discord. It turns out that she was sent to Earth with a good number of other ponies. What will Mike do as he slowly turns into the Wonderbolt? What will he do with his family? His friends? His job? He has to make decisions that will affect everyone.

She's found compatriots, and family. She is dedicated to making sure they are safe. But that's not going to be easy.

A Five Score Divided by Four story

Many thanks to my collaborator Phenrys, and his story Dust on the Wind: Irony's Story

And I now have three pre-readers, helping me keep this story going, providing encouragement and constructive criticism. They are the immortal Phenrys, exsnaggerwes, and Kitsy-Chan. Thank you to all who comment and enjoy the story as much as I do!

And I made it into the feature box!!! On 3/17/15! YAY!!!

In case you didn't know, this story has a sequel. It's called the Epsilon Pegasus. I hope you enjoy the read!

Ever since she could barely talk, Scootaloo has always looked up to and admired Rainbow Dash. Simply seeing the daredevil mare puts stars in her eyes and butterflies in her stomach. Scootaloo wants to be like Rainbow Dash one day, but has convinced herself that she could never be as awesome as somepony like Rainbow Dash. Perhaps the brave pony has some important words for her.

Inexperience is a foreign concept to Celestia. At least she thinks it is. Right up until the moment a rash decision leaves her with a student who is a dozen years younger than what she's used to.

Enjoy.

Twilight may have had a bit too much to drink one night and accidentally brought a human named Arc from Earth to Equestria. They have much to teach one another. That is... if they will accept him into their society. Time will tell if humans and ponies can truly live together in harmony.

BE SURE TO START WITH "VOLUME 1 - CHAPTER 1"!

This is quite a long story I originally wrote for my wife as a Christmas present two years ago. Work on it has continued over the past year, and just recently hit 1,000,000 2,000,000 3,000,000 words. I'll upload it chapter by chapter as fast as I can translate them. The Equestrian Odyssey contains many characters from the show and comics, as well as a number of original characters I dreamed up to fill various roles. I hope you enjoy the first volume of my first ever story as much as my wife and I did.

One of my readers liked the story so much that they decided to write their own alternate version of events. Their story can be found here...
