When Rainbow Dash does some work for Applejack she finds a unexpected surprise. What is Rainbow Dash to do with her new found "Friends" when they need help and she has no pony to turn to other than Fluttershy.

"By now you have surely heard the tale of how Princess Twilight Sparkle travelled to another word by means of a magical mirror? What if I told you that there were more of these mirrors scattered throughout the land? Each leading to mystical and strange lands found only in your wildest dreams. (I mean seriously, what kind of precursor race would master inter-dimensional travel and only use it once?) What if I told you that I had in my little shop here one of such mirrors? One that led to a land of small squarish creatures that partied, drank and fought for simple enjoyment?"

This is the story of an unfortunate Gray Crasher and his adventures in the magical land of Equestria.

So yeah this will probably feature quite a number of MLP characters but I'm only including some in the bio so as to not break a perfectly good system.

As for the cover art that was done by me and can be found - BOOM!

Pre-reading and Editing advice are done by Mixtrak. He's a great guy and you should totally go check out his story

Twilight obtains a strange package one morning: A NIV Bible. What could this strange book,which speaks of strange creatures, different worlds, and an all-powerful being called God, possibly mean? With the help of an adventurer (OC), Twilight Sparkle, Spike, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash go on an epic quest around Equestria, trying to solve the mystery of this other worldly book. As strange events occur and even stranger beings arrive, Twilight must figure out how other worlds apply to the one she knows and loves: her own.

Mysterious lights and noises have been heard from an old hotel in Canterlot. After one investigation team goes missing, Celestia sends Twilight and co. to discover the source of the noises and find the missing ponies.

A trade with Sayer, who also served as editor.

Pinkie Pie didn't want to miss anymore time with Dash, and so took a job at the Wonderbolts Academy as an assistant cook. Of course, she's still Pinkie Pie, and when Rainbow and her Wingpony, Cloudchaser, come in after a long training session, she decides to give them a special meal. Growth ensues.

Vanilla Beam has lived with the Mane 6 since being shrunk. But one day, Twilight Sparkle shrinks herself and ends up getting stuck. She and Vanilla are now at the mercy of all the "giants" of Equestria.

Ever since Discord promised to be a good guy he has become very bored. The once mighty embodiment of chaos is now reduced to a trickster who plays simple yet reality altering pranks, To put it simply he is bored out of his skull.
After a visit to Fluttershy, he decides to try to help her to be less afraid of everything.
What started as a small joke ends up in catastrophe, in his sleep he accidentally cast a curse upon Fluttershy.
So now whenever she get scared she shrinks in size.
Hopefully Discord will be able to cure her before she becomes so tiny that she no longer exists in the same universe as him. But fate has other plans. And Fluttershy is not the only one shrinking.

Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy were brought together by Twilight Sparkle and the magic of friendship and have had incredible experiences. But now they are trapped in a world they don't understand-Equestria. How will these five normal human girls deal with such dangers as dragons, minotaurs, parasprites, -and perhaps the most dangerous of them all,- themselves?

NON CANON with Season 4 and EQG 2.

This story is a sequel to Queen No More

Twilight Sparkle made the most foolish and selfless decision possible. She saved the life of Queen Chrysalis. The dynamics of Twilight's relationships begin to change as Chrysalis introduces the changeling hivemind to her pony caretaker. Chrysalis' only hope was to relieve her loneliness, but events begin to unfold that will change Equestria forever.

Nothing is stronger than the power of redemption...

NOTES
1. This is the sequel to Queen No More but there is a time jump between its end and Hive Alive's beginning.
2. This is Alternate universe due to the fact that this story will run off of a disparate timeline. Events forward of season 2 may be similar OR significantly altered.
3. There is mention in Chapter 3 of an old changeling tale titled As a Star. A version of this has been written by Farseer.

NO MORE UPDATES: The story is complete. A sequel has been made: Queen of Equestria.
