A letter from a man whose friend has died to the cast and crew of MLPFiM has unexpected results...

This story is more about a fan of the show, even though a couple of the characters do make an appearance at the end. It is a take on an actual letter I helped a friend write six years ago. Although that was to Piers Anthony, and it was the survivor that was helped, but that makes no difference.

This story was inspired by the story Sing me a Lullaby. By OneTrickPon3.

*******UPDATE*******
In working on the other two short stories, one of them morphed into another full blown epic that will have to wait, the other sadly i couldn't get past 200 words so this it for this line. I've changed the status to reflect the new form of the story.

Keep an eye out for the other story to be titled "The War that ended War" coming soon!

The thing about loyalty... the thing about loyalty is that sometimes you don't know where your loyalties lie.
Have I always been loyal to my friends? No. There are things that they didn't know about me. Lots of secrets from the past that I've kept from everypony. I had a past full of disgrace, shame, and loneliness. Things that I wish had never happened. Only a few ponies know the truth. But I could only keep my past away for so long...

You have been through the worst, you have lost someone dear to you, you have lost the ability to walk, and yet you still move on. Why? Maybe because it's the right thing to do, maybe because you want to know what's ahead of you. Maybe you want to know someone that loves you, someone that would care for you, and someone that would die for you. Maybe you search for redemption to have a better life? Or be the life of the party? Maybe you could give back to the world, and help others instead of party till you just can't party anymore? Someone somewhere must have said, "You are who you choose to be." Maybe because of your circumstances you have been given another chance? Maybe a chance that allows you to do better, to follow the same path, or maybe even do both?
You decide.
(Second Person fic. My first fic as well! But it is true, the reader does decide. And upon the ideas of the many readers on this site. I will try to construct chapters based upon those opinions.)

A normal day with the two of us, Dashie and I. It was going swell.

Then, HE showed up.

We don't know why he did it, or who we was. All we know-
It was too late for us.

Constructive criticism is appreciated.

The star system Omega Centauri was just another oddity on a map to scientists in the not too distant future. However when they found the star was orbiting an earth-sized, earth-like planet instead of a black hole as its motion had suggested, a mission was scrambled to investigate this most unusual of celestial behaviors.

Hamstrung by politics, and nearly crippled before it began, the 'Lone Ranger' mission was reduced to just one crew member and left to his own devices.

These are the logs of Arrow 18 and its lone commander. This information is classified TOP SECRET by the Global Space Agency.

Do NOT tell the princess.

James Kaughn is a member of the world's most elite fighting force, but when his team is sent in to rescue a captive family in Afghanistan the mission hits a snag. He stays behind to allow the others to escape, fully expecting to die, but ends up in an unfamiliar place. Join him as he meets new challenges and struggles with his worsening PTSD. Will he be able to actually make friends and not just teammates?

This story is a sequel to Post Nuptials

A direct sequel to At Home On The Range.

Rainbow Dash finally did it! A sonic rainboom on command! Except she also managed to break every window in Applejack's farmhouse in the process. Now she has to pay for each one, and with her wages from managing the weather not nearly enough to cover the damage, she has to work on Applejack's farm for two whole weeks!
Talk about cruel and unusual punishment. Still, maybe it wouldn't be all bad. At least she would get to hang out with her friend AJ right? Wrong.

Sequel: http://www.fimfiction.net/story/4620/Breaking-Barriers

What happens, happens. I think that is one of the rules of Causality as stated by the late, great Douglas Adams. It is a pretty important rule and I use it to guide me through life, no matter what goes on in it. So, when I was driving to an out of town job and found myself in another world, I did my best to take everything in stride.

I would be the first to say the adjustment is not easy. Especially, when the first thing you do is make yourself a pony distrusted, disliked and defamed by some national heros. Thinking about that, I think I have to invoke another Douglas Adams quote. "Don't Panic."

This is the result of me getting bored one day and starting writing. Now that I got a bit of it done, I wouldn't mind honest opinions, and flame away if you feel the need. I have thick skin.

As you might notice, there are a few chapters with a box at the top. These are the ones that my editor and I went through again, and hopefully improved. I'll refrain from changing plot but spelling, grammar and flow are all up for grab. Especially for the early chapters.
