The magic of friendship flows through every creature, big and small. They just need a little push in the right direction. Tired of living under their masters' neglect, insanity or just plain monotony, the pets all desire (in one way or another) to take life in a new, more exciting direction.

When a mysterious curse is laid on the Elements of Harmony, turning the bearers into pets and their pets into ponies, the misfits embark on a dangerous trek to break it. What was originally meant to be a quick trip around Equestria turns into a harrowing journey that expands from the comfy suburbs of Ponyville to the forgotten ruins of an underground kingdom to the biting tundra of the north, all filled with odd characters, laughter and an evil that has lasted for generations as the pets each embrace their inner hero. Because as we all know: the greatest of legends always start with the smallest beginnings.

A troll's on the internet, annoying the Brony community. After a successful night of irritating everyone, he falls asleep only to awake in Pony Court! He's found guilty and his sentence is Punishment P! Apparently it's something rather horrendous from Twilight's reaction... It shouldn't be much of a problem for Mike Holstein though, right?

In the words of Pinkie Pie, "Let's get this party started!"

"I'm Yah-Shee and he's Arrell, and it's our job to analyze their weapons, armour, and skills to find out who would win an Equestrian Death Battle."

This story takes the concept of Death Battle and carries it over into Equestria, pitting different ponies and other Equestrian creatures against each other in one-on-one fights to the death to see which is superior. Extensive research is done on both combatants to figure out who would win, and is presented as a written battle to be more entertaining.

Readers are asked to suggest possibilities for battles in the comments, or by messaging me. You are allowed to suggest OC characters, as long as they are from a story that is at least somewhat well-known.

"But for now, it's time for an Equestrian Death Battle!"

ATTENTION: THERE IS NO GORE IN HERE!

Applejack is making breakfast for the Apple one morning and is surprised to suddenly have new neighbors! Nice surprise, huh? What's even worse, they took over part of their beloved orchard! Now Applejack not only has a grudge, she has some competition! Can she compete with her new-found rivals though? Something IS strange about all of them, but Applejack just can't place her hoof on it... Hopefully, time will tell for the mare! And will Ponyville survive a new family of rather eccentric and odd ponies? Who knows!

Let's just say that somepony is gonna get burned!

(Oh dear Celestia, such a terrible pun...)

In the bowels of Canterlot's mountain is a long held secret that has been going on for years upon years. After Luna's demise, a group of ponies started the Nocturnal Gauntlet, where ponies fight for the enjoyment of others and for the rich to invest into. For hundreds of years this has gone on under Celestia's nose in secrecy. Spare Change, however, doesn't believe that it should for much longer.

(If anyone knows of a better suited picture, please let me know of it! :P)

When Twilight is dragged through the maw of some... thing, Luna, Shining, and the rest of the Mane 6 begin to figure out a rescue plan to help their friend. What they don't expect though is something altogether unique, different, and bizarre...

US!

McCarren, a human 'scientist', soon shows Twilight all about our world, but will we be able to stack up to what Equestria has to offer? And even so, will Celestia even allow this knowledge to be exchanged?

=====================

-----CHALLENGE STORY-----

I took up the challenge to write a story where the main focus is all about comparing both the culture and technologies of Equestria and our world, and yes, OUR WORLD. I had a bunch of people saying how no HiE or PoE has us technologically or culturally right/superior to Equestria.

Well, I think we will just see about that, hm?

This story will be trying to portray the most realistic version of the human and pony worlds interacting. I'm not saying its going to be perfect, but I will be trying my best!

Also... if ANYONE can find me a better image, PLEASE TELL ME! DX

Derpy Hooves is a normal Pegasus, living in a small house with her daughter, Dinky and her room mate, Carrot Top. One day, her life gets flipped upside down after she witnesses her daughter getting caught in a serious accident.

When one can no longer feel the warmth of others, is there any reason to move on through life?

A sad little tale about one of our favorite Pegasi, Rainbow Dash, and (if i continue it), will show how one small accident can ruin a close friendship, but hopefully make it even stronger after all is said and done.

What happens when someone who doesn't like My Little Pony ends up in their universe and is stuck there? Basically, a lot of freaking out, swearing, and irresponsible things... Who would have guessed?!

Rated Teen for language and sexual themes. Also for Brony Hater language.

I do NOT agree with any of the language references. They are all used in a fictional sense and do NOT portray any mindset of my own.

Also, if anyone has a better cover image... please share! ^^;;

My life is nothing but a game. The cards have never left me and I have made my small fortune, but what happens when I take one bet too many? After my one loss out of a thousand, I am left stranded here in Ponyville until I can fulfill my end of the bet... whether I really want to or not!

Even worse, I am stuck with this superbly egocentric mare who won't leave me alone for one second! Why in the name of Celestia was I cursed to this fate?! At least she likes to gamble somewhat...

I told them them once, but when those ruffians find me... it won't be a pretty scene for this town at all. I just hope that they don't cause too much destruction for everyone!
