Equestria is enjoying a time of peace and prosperity. The newly reunited Sisters rule without question and the Elements of Harmony protect the land from any and all evil.

But dark forces lurk in the shadows, hidden from sight… Plotting.

During the apparent chaos will two unlikely youngsters, Spike and Sweetie Belle, become more to each other than they had ever dreamed? Or. Will their new found feelings spell doom for all of Equestria?

After Twilight realized that Spike had almost no friends his own age in Ponyville and his life as her assistant might not truly be what he wants, Spike agrees to go to attend a school in Manehatten to find out what it is to find a life of his own. Here, he'll find out who he really is as an individual and what the ponies in his life really mean to him.

Made it to the popular box around 2:30 on January 22nd. I would like to sincerely thank all of the readers for their support of my story

I didn't ask for this, any of this. But now that I'm here, might as well make the most of it. But, why am I here? What purpose does my presence here serve to Equestria?

*****************************************************************************************************************************

Author Notes: Yes, this is a HIE story. Yes, I know how much people hate self inserts or anything similar to it. And yes, I don't care what people say about this. I'm writing this because I feel like it and nobody can stop me from doing it. To quote Eminem, "See you can hate 'em, he don't blame you frankly he would too." Since I can't use too many character tags, just assume I'll be using every character from the show.

(While I actually thought of the title and premise for this story by listening to Aerosmith's Permanent Vacation, the current cover art just seemed to fit the opening chapter better.)

Note that the Gore tag is simply because of things like characters getting stabbed, shot, etc... Nothing too graphic or descriptive, but better safe than sorry.

When Ghost decides he actually wants to attend school with Applebloom, what new discoveries will he make about ponykind? What struggles will he face as a Changeling hidden among ponies? He will need to learn how to survive among others his age, along with making new friends along the way.

This is a side story to 64 vs. The Underground. While 64 is over in Gryphon Kingdom, Ghost is still in Ponyville living with the Apple Family.

When a human appears in Equestria and is considered a threat, he is forced to flee from everything in the new land with nobody to help him while he is chased by colorfull ponies that want nothing but put him in a cage.

Arceus has been imprisoned for many millennia, and in that time he has watched his world fall apart. But once he is finally freed from his prison he decides that to protect his Pokémon, and his family, that he will move the Pokémon, and a few select 'humans' to a world where they might live in peace, Equestria. However, not everyone on this new world shares his view of peace and the very presence of the Pokémon upsests some of the citizens of the world, even some of the ones he brought with aren't too happy with the situation. But a god's will is a strong thing and without his willingness the Pokémon and the citizens of Equestria are going to have to learn to get along, or at least tolerate each other. And there's a slight problem with some of the humans too, well, former humans that is.

Since a lot of people keep aking this I'm gonna put an explanation here. I'm not following any one canon-verse here, I'm making a hodge podge universe with bits from the Manga, Anime, Games, and Movies, as well as some etcetera concerning issues addressed in none of them to great lengths. (Arceus' power is far beyond what he has in the games or movie and this does contain some Pokephilia, which comes from pretty much no canon material ever.)

Heartbroken after a rejection from Rarity Spike find love where he least expects it. He also learns some thing about himself he never thought he believed could be true.

This is my first story ever. I was going to release another story but I have yet to finish it I kept getting side tracked. This story really was what I kept getting side tracked with. I will release more if this does well.

Special Thanks to Bennet001 for Editing for me. Cover art borrowed from spending to many hours searching google.

Spike Drake has started attending Canterlot Academy as part of a Co-Ed experiment. With him being the only guy in an entire academy filled with hot and sexy girls, will his teenage hormones drive him crazy, or will the boy-starved student body eat him alive?

After coming to Canterlot with the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Spike attempts to help them with one of their plans to earn their cutie marks. However, after Scootaloo and Apple Bloom cause massive damages to Canterlot Castle and three stallions, Spike must spend the next week keeping Sweetie Belle from causing irreparable damage to herself, others, or the city while Cheerilee deals with Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and any other foals unfortunate enough to get in trouble.

Rated Teen because of some mild language and alcoholic references.

Meet Pipsqueak.

Pipsqueak, or "Pip" as he prefers to be called, has quite the imagination. There are times when he is a fearsome pirate, scourge of the seas of Equestria. There have also been times when Pipsqueak has fantasized about being a gallant prince, traveling the land, saving fair maidens, slaying wicked beasts, and being hailed as a hero by his peers. Not once did he ever imagine he'd get exactly what he wished for in the form of Princess Luna adopting him, making him an actual prince! Soon enough, Pip learns that being a prince isn't as glamorous as he thought it to be, and that there are more than a few downsides to being a part of the royal family. One in particular downside coming in the form of a nuisance named Blueblood.

On the other side of the coin, Princess Luna must adjust to her newly-found position of motherhood, balancing the task of providing her adopted foal as normal a life as possible for a young prince, while also making sure the nobility and paparazzi keep their hooves out of their business. Fortunately, this mare not only has the entirety of the Royal Guard, including her own Night Guard at her disposal, but her sister and niece also happen to be fiercely protective of the newest member of their family.
