Firstly, Lords and Ladies, I would like to disclose a simple disclaimer. This story here? Is not my own, oh I wrote it, but the characters and on-goings belong to the one and only Hoopy Mcgee. (Who graciously blessed off on this.) If you haven't read his works, then shame on you!! Not really, but they are highly recommended not only for their quality, but their intrigue... Now, please enjoy a little one shot I whipped up out of respect for the ol' Hoopy, with his permission of course.

The Original Story
School of Hardknocks

This isn't where I belong. I left all this behind years ago, moved on with my life. But a mare from my past brought me back, and now she won't let me go. So I'm stuck here, trying to make the best of it with ponies that don't understand me, don't even like me. But when something moves in the darkness, and when things go wrong in the cold, dead night, they'll turn to me to try to set things right.

Why? Because once a police pony, always a police pony.

In commemoration of four seasons of Pone
The Mane Six Meet Their Fans!

Twilight and her friends, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy and Pinkie, are all out enjoying a picnic. That is, until a big black portal swallows them up and spits them out Celestia knows where!

Wherever the portal is taking them to now looks a little bit like... a little blue marble?

Things just go from bad to worse, even after their hooves are back on the ground. The girls all can't help but wonder, just what is going on here? Stranger still, Twilight really thinks she recognizes that announcer's voice, but she can't quite place it.

Authors Note

Just a couple chapters of nonsense for a silly joke premise. I like the idea of ponies actually encountering us, and I love self deprecating humor, as well. This is a very lighthearted tale intended purely as a short read pick me up and to get you, the readers, giggling like madmen (and women). Please enjoy, everypony!

Special Thanks
I got a lot of help from all of my friends once again on this story. Thank you all fellows, you're something else. Thank you especially Ludicrous Lycan for drafting framework! Lastly, thank you everypony for sticking around for so long in the fandom. This story and many others like it and better wouldn't exist without you!

It has been eight long years; the world stands, but in ruins. The Elements of Harmony were powerless to stop them, magic is powerless to stop them. The only line of defense remaining, are the Jaegers; great war mechs designed by the greatest equine minds alive. The greatest of these, is Twilight Sparkle. Helping her save the world, one slain Kaiju at a time, are her friends; and races from around the world.

Author's Notes. This is a crossover story including Pacific Rim and MLP. This is not a retelling, nor are there humans. The concept is preserved, however, there are new exciting twists, as well as an original cast. Twilight and the other characters you know and love will not be filling the roles of characters from the movies. This is an original re-imagining and will tell a different, unique story.

Please Enjoy.

Lyra and Bon Bon are dressed up and ready for a night on the town of Ponyville! However, it also just so happens to be Nightmare Night. They have their costumes and adventures planned out in advance; everything is shaping up to be a lot of fun for the couple. They even see a chance to meet Luna this year, and more.

Still... there is an awful lot of fog rolling through town. The sky has grown dark quite early, as well... And those timberwolves howling in the distance are a lot louder than usual on top of that...

This is just a Halloween Nightmare Night story to get everypony in the mood for ghosts and ghouls season. We aren't getting another Luna Eclipsed this year, either, but I wanted to give everypony something like it. Consider this canon for the year after if you would like, that is where I placed it in the timeline. The tale is light on the horror side, if that's not your thing, (though still a little scary). I encourage everypony familiar with dark fics on this site to approach this one as you would a more traditional horror story/movie, rather than your typical fimfiction fair. (Not to say that Dark stories are bad by any means, but... most of the pony ones I've read at least, are pretty weird...)

So, without further ado... Lyra and Bon Bon's Nightmare Night story...

Enjoy...
