Miss Cheerilee informs Applejack that she never passed elementary mathematics. Since every pony in Equestria is legally required to understand rudimentary math, Applejack must retake and pass a basic exam in order to avoid going back to school.

Sounds simple enough, right?

Love. It is the most powerful force in existence. It has survived eons, and lived throughout the most horrid of times. Love drives individuals to great lengths, so what happens when the one you love does not love you back? What do you do when you cannot let go of the one you love?

Spike's unrequited love for Rarity is on the verge of shattering his heart.

Applejack gets an unwelcome visit from the Equestrian Revenue Service. Handed a large tax bill and limited time to pay, Applejack comes up with a creative use of the farm's biggest asset.

No, not the apple trees.

Why Big Macintosh of course.

(The Redone Version) (EFH has it's own TV Tropes page! Thanks to redandready45! )

A human has been teleported to Equestria after a lightning bolt struck him. The ponies of Ponyville had never seen anything like him before. Full of fear and uncertainty, all of Ponyville, except for the Mane 6 and Spike, avoided him. The human, with the help of the Mane 6, must earn Ponyville's friendship before a way back home is found.

Rated Teen for some language and mild peril.

Everypony knows Twilight is a mare of immense intelligence, always eager to complete the Princess's academic assignments and learn more about any subject. Thus, when Twilight discovers a strange magical book in the library basement that provides her with unlimited information in just mere seconds, it's only natural for the studious Unicorn to... grow attached to the book, right? And what will Princess Celestia think of her new "method" of studying?

All Shining wanted to do was find his sword. Too bad we don't always get what we want.

PRAISE FOR SHINING ARMOUR'S IRREGULAR MORNING

Hi, my name is Markus.

I thought it was going to be a normal Sunday morning. Boy, was I wrong. Not even out of my bed I discover that I am now Rainbow Dash... and I'm still on Earth. In wake of my sudden change, I try to handle the situation with my knowledge gained from the fandom, my inner brony writer helping me along the way. However, as I soon find out, I'm not the only one with this problem...

Just a self-insert thing I started to get rid of a bout of writer's block. I don't care if it's liked or hated, so enjoy. Please remember, criticism is greatly appreciated, as is praise.

EDIT: For other stories in this universe, PonyEarthverse

Twilight has an experiment planned, and it centres on Rainbow Dash.

As anxious as she is, Dash really has no right to complain.

It was her idea after all.

Fan Reading!

If you ever asked me what I was like, I'd tell you that I'm just another simple guy trying to make ends meet. A guy who worked for his home and his meals, and always enjoyed spending time with close friends. Life couldn't be more normal for me at the time.

Then again, life always seems like it's going to be normal before fate throws a handful of cartoon horses into the mix.

CURRENTLY UNDERGOING RECONSTRUCTION. PLEASE BE PATIENT AND ENJOY THE RESULTS.
Reconstruction? What?

Yes. I am remaking all chapters of this story... and even redoing the cover picture eventually.

(New Description)

How would you feel about having one of the ponies from MLP:FIM in your apartment?
How about six?

Many would probably feel like 18-going-on-19 year old Louis Anderson, post-high-school crappy temp job holding introvert, who so happens to have the fortune of a fantastic girlfriend who he's loyally stuck with for two long years.
Of course, she went off to college for med-school, and he has to earn his way into college classes. Tough break, bro. At least a long distance relationship can still be strong.

Of course, he's not even going to HAVE a job if the world needs saving...

HEY GUYS THIS ISMY FRST FIC SO PLZ B JENTL

Just kidding!

All I really ask is that you are constructive and/or polite in your comments. Do this, and everything will work out fine!

As far as time of story is concerned, this occurs just in the middle of season 3, right before "Games Ponies Play", but it obviously diverges from the cannon after that point.

And finally, yes, I drew the cover picture. You all may be impressed now. Follow the source to my deviantART page!
