This story is a sequel to A New World, A New Stage
This was written with tdnpony's permission.
Alice Maximilion is a scientist by day and the Phantom Thief Fox by night. However, after Arceus transferred all of the Pokemon as well as some of the humans over to Equestria, she lost her day job. Since then, she's been busy putting corrupt ponies in their places as well as trying to meet up with her childhood friend, Johnathan. However, with more down time than she's used to, she may be forced to confront some feelings she never really knew she had.
Johnathan Trace is a police officer dedicated to catching the Phantom Thief Fox. Even after being thrown into a different world, he is still pursuing that goal. Chasing down a thief who has over 500 years of knowledge is not an easy task, but he's the only one who's gotten close. However, they say opposites attract, and some of the actions by Fox have left him confused to say the least. At least he finally found out his best friend Alice was sent to Equestria as well.
With both of them taking a necessary break after a busy month, Alice begins to confront her feelings, but will her double life as both his best friend and worst enemy get in the way of what she wants?
Not if the Phantom Thief Fox has anything to say about it.
This story is a non-canon spinoff to tdnpony's A New World, A New Stage, which itself is a spinoff to zeusdemigod131's A New World, A New Way. You will definitely want to read the former if you want to have any idea what's happening, while the latter includes some key worldbuilding. The whole A New World universe is filled with fabulous stories that you should check out. If you like Pokemon, like crossovers, or just like some of the best writers on the site, then you should check it out.
Written as several chapters because that's how I roll. I probably will publish chapters every day until I publish them all. Once I do, this story will likely never be touched again, unless I get enough popularity to continue.
