A young human called Alex is transported to Equestria without knowing how or why. After being discovered by Twilight Sparkle and her assistant Spike in the Everfree Forest, Alex soon learns that he is a very special case.
He now finds himself running for his life as everypony is out to get him.

Will Alex escape this ponified nightmare, or will he find himself as a prized catch?

This story was inspired by 'We will Catch You if we Can' by proto-alpha.

After arriving at the outskirts of a place called Ponyville through reasons you don't understand, you are quickly set upon by the local welcoming committee — a bright pink pony whose idea of a welcome is attempting to murder you with cuddles.

How are you going to get out of this one?

AUTHORS NOTES

My response to the sudden influx of cuddle-fics. It is not to be taken seriously (especially the ending).

I regret nothing. Rated Teen for one use of strong language.

The ponies of Ponyville grew fearful of a being that lived among them. Wielding the weapons of his people, will they finally band together and claim victory over him once and for all? Or be shot down in defeat?

Some actions of the military are kept highly confidential, and never spoken to outside of those who have the clearance for them. Others are so secret that only those ponies who absolutely need to know are told. Secrets are kept for the safety of those involved. One wrong word to caught by a clever ear could end lives and empires. Of course, some tales remain extra-secret due to the potential for embarrassment.

Thus, everypony knows about them. Such information is classified as FOR UNOFFICIAL USE ONLY.

Lyra Heartstrings has always known that humans exist, even if none of the other ponies in her life have ever appreciated that fact. But aside from a few enigmatic ancient prophecies and a popular fantasy series, there haven't ever really been any authoritative sources on what humans were really like. Years of discouragement begin to take their toll on Lyra's faith in the strange and wondrous beings with their strange limbs and ways of sitting.

Until one day, when Lyra finds a strange device on the ground outside Ponyville, and it starts talking to her with short messages printed on its tiny screen. So instead of search for the device's proper owner, Lyra takes it home, hoping for the chance to talk to a real human.

Takes place ostensibly in the universe of My Little Apprentice, though very little connection with that story is expected. Familiarity with that story and its sequel are neither expected nor required.

This story is a sequel to Rainbow Factory

Cloudsdale Weather Corporation has been running without incident for over twenty years. That is, until two foals manage to avoid being processed and find themselves in the haunted bowels of the massive facility. Can they make it out of the abandoned factory with their sanity intact? Will they uncover the secrets even a company as dark as the CWC is ashamed to keep? And what of the workers who help ensure that, in the end, not a single soul gets through...
