This story is a sequel to You're Not Fine

Friendship is a give-and-take relationship. Fortunately for you, Pinkie doesn't ask for much, and she has plenty to give.
Maybe it's time to start giving back.

Winter is cold, winter is dark, and winter is miserable. This will be my last winter.

Part of the Borderworld.

Having learned much about Equestria from both Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer, the two principals from CHS have always been curious about what the world is really like. Luna finally proposes the idea that the two should find out themselves just what its like to be a pony...and not just any pony but royalty as well. What could possibly go wrong in this situation?

Twilight could probably name about thirty of them.

The Brony Fandom lived long and old. Memes were made, ponies were enjoyed, and lives were rearranged to accommodate. As time went on, the passion that once fired up the community became just a flickering spark, and so the Brony name waned until, finally, the fandom died to obscurity.

That was it for user TutorialBlues88, who swore off his Brony pride after over two decades. But nostalgia one day invoked him to reflect on philosophies of a fandom long since dead. He wondered if it’s okay to turn back, to enjoy ponies once again even if its alone.

In meeting death, reincarnation gave Tutorial the opportunity to discover for himself what friendship and ponies meant to him, redefining and revisiting lessons attended since Season One.

The heart. Such a mysterious source of power. Those with weak ones soon find their hearts lost to darkness. Those with strong ones have shown to unleash the most powerful of lights. But what makes a heart strong? What makes the darkness so attracted to it? I must know.

Twilight. Applejack. Rarity. Rainbow Dash. Pinkie Pie. Fluttershy. These six posses the strongest hearts in all of Equestria. They may show me the answer to my questions. But to unlock the secrets within them, I will need a key. A key that no one will miss if it vanishes...or perhaps, a key that no one knows to exist at all. I need a keyblade. I need her.

Xion will be based on her game and manga counterpart.

Wile E. Coyote takes a break from chasing the Road Runner and sets his eyes on a familiar blue rainbow-maned pegasus.

You can guess how well that turns out.

UPDATE - 20th April Thursday 2017
Oh hey, I got Featured again. And just as I loaded Dark Souls 2 on the Xbox 360 as well. Well, wish me luck in beating New Game Plus, readers. The Iron Keep awaits me! So er...hope you like what you see here while I'm doing my thing...

UPDATE - 18th December Sunday 2016
Wow. Really? 700 words for a new chapter and this gets Featured? The algorithms on this site really are broken. I don't think I deserve this Feature.

UPDATE - 14th December Monday 2015
Wait, this story's back in the Featured section again? Either I'm lucky or there's not enough clopfics being written to fill the space, Oh well, Hey, I wonder what that 'Unwell: Recovery' fanfic above me is like?

UPDATE - 11th December Friday 2015
So...um...Quite very literally today after I returned to this story to continue writing more chapters for it, this happened to get into the Featured section? Thank you all out there who came today to view this story, and to those of you who supported this ages ago and still do. My deepest appreciations go to you all for that.

I've been looking like Rainbow Dash for little over two months now, not sure how, but it happened randomly, overnight in my sleep, like a bad fanfic. Being from the "one percent' group of wealthy people my parent's didn't notice or care that I wasn't, well, me. I sent all orders for food and such to servants in detailed instructions via text app my parents usually use because the "do no commune with the laborers", yeah, they're that stuck up. Then I took a nap, woke up on a cloud in Equestria, thrown in jail on accusations of being an imposter, then taken in by the Skittle pony herself... *Sigh* Just why can't she leave me alone? I want Sandra back!

Special Thanks to Xinrick for co-writting this with me to keep it alive.

The story of how a former brony was forcibly ejected from Earth into a new form to become Queen Chrysalis's unwilling assistant in her revenge plot against those darn ponies is a long and interesting one.

And it starts... now. Better buckle up.

The grinding gears of fate have been set into motion. One by one, the mane six have been plucked from their lives in Equestria and cast into the unknown. All except for Applejack and Rainbow Dash, that is. Now it's up to the only two remaining Elements of Harmony to uncover the dark machinations behind their friends' disappearances. Will they put aside their differences and work together?

When people you love are on the line, what would you do to help them? Even if getting help cost you your humanity?

Keith Hoard now has to deal with the consequences of such a choice. Prehaps, his new family will make the adjustment easier for him?

This is a TF/TG idea I've had for a bit of time and simply wanted to put to paper just to get it out of my head.

Tags will be adjusted as needed.
