Last night, Dusk Shine-favorite student of Prince Helios and newly ascended alicorn-went to bed in a Ponyville where all of his friends were stallions and a major event was about to happen the next day. When he woke up, Dusk Shine had swapped placed with an alicorn mare named Twilight Sparkle. And, all of the friends and ponies that were male in his Ponyville were now female.

But, with the Princes (or is that Princesses?) coming tomorrow, Dusk Shine has no time to figure out what happened or what went wrong. Preparations need to be made and friends need to be consulted to get ready for the event. After all, everything else was just like his Ponyville. Surely it shouldn't be a problem, right?

Right?

A story that is inspired by and runs parallel with One Of Those Days by Taranth.

This story is a sequel to Dusk Shine in pursuit of Happiness

Second season of the adventures of Dusk Shine, with more characters, more villains, more drama and more romance

Dusk Shine is sent to Ponyville to discover what is friendship. But could a colt that doesn't recognize the friendship, recognize love?

Another story about Dusk Shine and his Harem, but with my personal touch, with more humor, romance and adventure.

ps: This story contains some drawings made by me. It's not a comic, each chapter has one or two sketches showing some particular fact from each chapter.

Canterlot Castle's Royal Guards haven't had the best track record when it came to doing their jobs as Canterlot's defenders. This hasn't gone unnoticed by Princess Celestia and Princess Luna.

When the sisters pondered the reason for their guards' ineffectiveness, Luna concluded that Celestia's motherly nature toward her guards – as well as all her ponies – had prevented her from ensuring they received the proper training. Therefore Luna volunteered to personally turn the guards into buff, mean, fighting machines.

That is, if the guards could survive what the Princess of the Night had in store for them.

This story is a sequel to That Morning I Woke Up With an Alicorn Princess

One week after they had been the victims of a prank that made them think they kissed and...more after getting drunk, Princess Twilight Sparkle and Eric Reed came up with a prank of their own. The two told the four friends that stuck them in bed together, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Starlight Glimmer, and Spike, that Twilight's pregnancy test came up "positive".

After that, mayhem ensued.

Special thanks to TheHardie-Boy for proofreading this story.

Enough will be explained to not require reading the predecessor story to enjoy this story, and laugh.

This story also takes place after the events of A Giant Adventure to Equestria, but it is also not required to read it first, other than to learn how and why the human character Eric Reed is in Equestria, and how his bonds with the other characters formed.

Edit: Featured through 04/05/20-04/07/20!!

This story is a sequel to Too Many Marefriends (And wives)

Still wanting to forget what happened when Discord put Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Starlight Glimmer under a spell to "teach" him that he doesn't need a girlfriend to be happy, Eric Reed asks Starlight to cast a spell to make him forget it happened.

Not what he learned from it, but what he went through to learn it.

In a not-so-surprising manner, the spell goes wrong.

Not only did Eric not forget anything, but now he'll have to avoid the affections of just about every mare in Ponyville, and beyond! Even one that usually lives far away from Ponyville may want in on the action...

Like this story's predecessor "Too Many Marefriends (And wives)" this story takes place after the events of my "A Giant Adventure to Equestria" story, which I'll have the link for below. It's not mandatory to read it to understand or enjoy this story, but it would help you understand more of who the OC human character Eric Reed is. It is also not mandatory to read this story's predecessor, which is a one-shot, although it would give a little more context as to why the plot in this story is like it is.

And no, not that plot.

Eric Reed is an eighteen-year-old young man, who loves watching My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, and is a big fan of the show. Eric has a good heart, has a good sense of humor, but can be prone to expecting too much from others, is a bit immature, and doesn't have many friends.

One day, he suddenly wakes up in Equestria, and to further add to his huge shock, he's only about one-inch tall. After a frightening meeting with Princess Twilight Sparkle, he asks for her help to find out how and why he's in Equestria, why he's so small, and where to go from there.

The good news: Being a fan of the show, Eric already had some knowledge about the new world he's in and his new friends. The bad news: It won't help nearly as much as he hoped and may cause its own problems. And the worst news: He'll have to face the dangers and struggles that being so small and powerless would present. But they may not be what you think, and some struggles could come from completely unexpected and trustworthy sources.

But he won't be the only one to struggle...

First story I've written.

EDIT on 03/30/19: I wasn't going to have Equestria Girls be "canon" when I wrote this story, but because of some confusion, I edited a bit of some chapters to let EQG be "canon". However, this ret-con to the story won't affect how the story goes.

EDIT on 07/28/19: To help fix a pacing problem, I added two chapters to show more of what happened that was previously "off screen". These chapters, what will now be chapter 6 and chapter 16, are written in a way that won't ret-con the story. There are minor edits to the start of what's now chapter 7, the very end of chapter 15, and a bit of chapter 17 to fit the chapters between them, but there's no actual ret-con.

While in Princess Twilight Sparkle's castle, Eric Reed suddenly finds himself getting a very awkward "talk" from Twilight, his "Equestrian big sister". But Twilight is seemingly oblivious to the awkwardness her questions are putting Eric through and keeps on going, asking him one uncomfortable question after another.

Twilight couldn't be this clueless...could she?

This can only end well...right?

This story takes place after the events of my "A Giant Adventure to Equestria" story. However, it's not required to read it first to understand this story (and laugh) other than to learn the backstory of the OC human character Eric Reed, why he's in Equestria, and how his brother-sister bond with Twilight formed. But below is the link to it, if you'll want to read it, and it's a 18-chapter story.

A Giant Adventure to Equestria

Eric Reed was thinking about some of the girls back in his old, human world, wishing he could have a girlfriend. A human girlfriend. But before he knew it, Eric found himself having to deal with the affections of his suddenly overfriendly pony friends. Who may or may not take "no" for an answer. He's not into ponies like that, so this becomes really weird for him.

And things will only get weirder.

In the many months he's known them, none of his friends have ever once showed any real hints of a romantic interest in Eric. Why would they start doing it now...?

Like similar short stories I've wrote, and still writing, this story takes place after the events of my "A Giant Adventure to Equestria" story, but this isn't really a sequel to it. You can enjoy this story without needing to read "A Giant Adventure to Equestria, but here's the link to it if you want to read it, and to learn about Eric's backstory.

Jerry was a broken man, working at an unrewarding job, slowly losing the fight against a depression born from paternal abuse and resentment. With no surviving family or friends beyond hollow acquaintances, he turned to drink in order to dull the pain of the same routine and all its awful reminders.

In one night, lost amidst the haze of inebriation and regret, his old life was reduced to nothing more than the ashes of a bad memory. Reborn into an unfamiliar world, and with a body just as alien, how will he adapt with nowhere to call home?
