A simple Tunneler drone is catapulted from Equestria during the infamous Wedding to Planet Earth. Confused, injured and alone, the drone must figure out how to survive in an alien environment with all of humanity watching.

(People have apparently been turned off by the whole 'pet' thing in the title; it's only relevant for a few chapters and has nothing kinky or lewd about it. )

An alternative to HiE stories. Midnight, a 14th century knight's steed and veteran of numerous battles during the hundred years war, faces her demise during one such engagement only to find that fate has other plans in store; including a chance to start anew in another world. But can a mare who knows nothing but conflict adapt to a land ruled by peaceful pastel-coloured ponies, or will it prove too much?

Warning: contains brief scenes of descriptive violence; especially in earlier chapters. Not enough to warrant an M rating, I think, but hopefully the mods will let me know if I'm wrong.

"Thanks, Mom." Two simple words said by a simple guard.

Not so simple when those words are accidentally addressed to Princess Celestia.

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.

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.

Family Day.

Idol Hooves holds a special place in Equestria. He's probably the only exiled changeling to serve in the Royal Guard, or at least, that's what he expects, as exiles don't really broadcast that fact. However, it's well known that Princess Celestia loves all of her little ponies, and her guards perhaps more so, and that makes it one of the best ways for a changeling to discreetly feed.

But how does a changeling even get there, let alone get exiled in the first place? For that matter, why would it ever go to Canterlot? Set a number of years before the series proper, before Luna’s redemption, Idol details how he was exiled, the ponies he’s met, and the series of misadventures that led him to joining the Royal Guard, and should continue a good ways into the series, as something of an alternate perspective.

Soon, he’ll have to deal with a boisterous new princess to serve and a royal wedding in the works bringing a third to power. Will his old instincts bring this new life crashing down around him? What precipitates Chrysalis’s ill-fated assault on Canterlot? Is it really so wrong for a changeling to enjoy good craftsmanship to an obsessive degree?

Chrysalis hedged her bet. She supposed that should she lose, she could still have some fun. Infecting Shining Armor with a poison that would turn him into a changeling was a simple task, but one that would have the poor stallion in a panic as to what his wife would do about it.

Now with 20% more art! Somepony mentioned that there was a severe lack of Shining-turning-into-a-changeling art on the net, so I commissioned the amazing Arcadian Phoenix to run one out quickly.

Woo, featured! Thank you everypony!
