After an accident lands Pinkie in a fight for her life, Applejack struggles with her feelings of guilt and responsibility. A close friend makes her life harder to bear until one day, she decides it may be time for her to leave Ponyville forever.

Ponyville, has been such a safe place for so long a time that the residents have forgotten what danger truly is. But the dangers of the world haven't forgotten Ponyville. With Celestia away on royal business, an ancient evil decides to strike. Can Pinkie stop it before it attacks Ponyville? Can she even function? A two parter in defense of Pinkie Pie, with a dramatic conclusion!

Shawn Spencer, psychic detective, is a thick-tufted boy genius who ice skates through life on polished blades of snarky eloquence. He has tested himself against some of the greatest criminal minds of his time and emerged victorious... though often through unbelievable luck and not a small amount of bumbling.

Now, he faces a challenge unlike any before. One that will test his mind, his sanity, and his adaptability as he is thrust into the midst of an unfamiliar world and the ponies who populate it.

The Mane 6 face their own challenge, as an old enemy, tempered in the crimes of a much harsher world than theirs, returns to Equestria. It is a challenge they are ill-prepared for and one that only their strange, new, alien friend can help them overcome.

400 FAVES! Thank you so much for your love and support!

Everypony tries to cope as the laughter is suddenly torn out of their lives.
