After losing his job due to fighting with another employee, Huckleberry Hound finds a job offer in the newspaper that reads "We have a fabulous new job for you in Equestria, a peaceful world, and one that promises good pay. Positions available now!" Said job offer didn't specify what the job was, but the words "good pay" were enough for Huck. So he packs his bags and makes his way there, following the directions the map gave him. A bizarre portal trip later, he arrives in a world with colorful equine creatures, and learns from a hyperactive local that this is the Equestria the paper was referring to. Despite the weird new surroundings, Huck ends up getting a new job as a member of the Royal Guard thanks to Princess Celestia, and settles into a comfortable life with his new friends.

Of course, wherever Huck goes, trouble isn't far behind. Not long after starting his new job, a horrific monster from ages past is unleashed, turning ponies into crystals and consuming Ponyville with dark magic.

And Huck finds out that he's first in the line of defense to stop it.

Some "fabulous new job" this turned out to be.

A Hanna-Barbera/MLP:FIM crossover (possibly the first of its kind) filled with silly antics, some slice-of-life moments and cameos from various characters!

John Joseph was just an average patron of Comic-Con, right up until he was inexplicably transported to the land of magical ponies that he had once thought to only be fictitious. Now, like many other probably-innocent-visitors-of-popular-conventions-who-disappeared-off-of-the-face-of-the-Earth-without-a-trace-yet-strangely-no-one-seems-particularly-adamant-about-investigating-their-disappearances, John has merged with and taken the identity associated with the particular articles of fabric that he had decided to drape himself on that specific day.

It was just too bad that he had decided to go casual for the convention.

"Computers are magnificent tools for the realization of our dreams, but no machine can replace the human spark of spirit, compassion, love, and understanding."
~ Louis Gerstner

A robot, constructed for a purpose that it does not understand, seeks to gain its Father's approval via whatever means it can. Following his instructions, being fit to serve, and always awake and alert. But its efforts are not enough; not suitable to fit Father's desire for a true daughter. In the end, no machine can truly substitute the depths of real emotion.

...Or is that untrue? Could feelings to a robot truly mean nothing? Or could they mean everything? What would it take to be considered... "real"?
