(PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE READING THE STORY: I did not intend to offend anybody or mock the events of 9/11 by writing this. This was simply my ponyfic tribute to the police officers, firefighters, and medical personnel that rushed to help when the towers were hit.)

September 11, 2001. A date hardly any of us can forget, or want to forget. So many lives were suddenly forfeit by the hand of great evil.

And from a faraway land, a creature has come, and like so many others, she only wants to help...

This story is a sequel to Making Adjustments

Snails is a colt. He's shy, slow, clumsy, and most ponies don't bother trying to get to know him. Which is fine, because Snails doesn't need their company anyways. He's got his friends and they've got him. He also has a secret, one that brings him shame and fear. He's very afraid that somepony will find out, and that'll be the end of him.

But, one day, he learns that he might not be alone. And maybe, his secret doesn't have to be that much of a secret. Snails struggles to cope with the harsh reality of his situation, but will his will alone be enough? Or is his secret going to cause more problems than he can deal with?

Team Yankee is an armor-heavy company, or 'team', composed mainly of M1 Abrams tanks. Their parent unit, the 1st Battalion of the 4th Armored, is stationed in southern Germany to help defend against possible Soviet attacks. Under the command of Captain Sean Bannon, the team is quickly placed on the border during a period of high tensions with the Warsaw Pact during the late 1980's. Though there is nothing special about this particular team, they will quickly find themselves in a very unique situation.

Private Steven Clint is a man with nothing. A 35-year old soldier who had the rare experience of losing both his wife and daughter while he was overseas in Afghanistan. The armband on his right bicep with Scootaloo's face on it serves as a reminder of the daughter he lost, for in Scootaloo's face he saw her own.

While patrolling a small Afghan town after a bombing, Steve ventures into the alley to find a sight he never thought he would. The same small, orange filly that was on his arm. The same on that reminded him of his daughter.

Now he must protect her from the surrounding war until she finds a way to get home.

Once upon a time, on the not-so-magical planet Earth, there was a US Marine who signed up to defend his country. He was assigned to a fire team, the fire team assigned to a squad and the squad assigned to a platoon. Together they defended the area surrounding a Forward Operating Base in Afghanistan from insurgents. If only it were that simple.

When lone Marine is transported to Equestria he finds a post-apocalyptic wasteland. With no orders, no resupply and seemingly no hope of return, he sets out to find what brought him here, and why.

Strong Language Warning: He swears like a Marine.

When Reginald Hawkins, US Navy pilot returning from Anti-Submarine Warfare exercises, is blown off course by a sudden, powerful storm. He finds himself stranded, alone, wounded and without help in a world that he least expected to be in. Least of all, he did not expect to be in a world full of magic.

And talking ponies.

But is this collision between two worlds a random roll of the galactic die, or something that was planned?
