This story is a sequel to Rainbow Dash Confesses Her Love to You

You've been going through a tough time lately. Every day you come home exhausted and hurt, and your mind is at its all-time limit. The only recluse you have is in Fluttershy, your loving, caring girlfriend.

During a restless sleeping fit one night, you're aware of her voicing her true feelings to you.

Now with an audio recording by LolidereBrony

Why on earth or Equestria did you ever volunteer to fillysit Moonie? You're not too good around kids in the first place, and you've never dealt with baby ponies much at all. So, trying to take care of a tiny queen of the night is...well...a nightmare. But surely you can manage for one night if you really put your mind to it. It's just one little filly. How hard could it be?

Based on Moonie Shorts and characters created/expanded upon by Eighth.

Ulquiorra Cifer was defeated at the hands of a mere human and died in Las Noches. Or at least that's what he thought. In the boundary that separates life and death for all Hollows, he's found by one that finds him interesting enough to give a second chance at life free from Aizen's control, and free to do as he pleases; he was just never told that his second chance of life would take him to an alternate world he never could've imagined even if he tried.

The land of Equestria is a magical place full of hope, and second chances. In this land where friendship is considered the most powerful magic in existence, can the Cuatro Espada find something that's been missing and learn how to live? Or will his presence be the downfall of the peaceful world and all of its inhabitants?

When an immortal loves a mortal, there comes a day when they must inevitably part ways.

It's never easy having to say goodbye, but you'll always have the memories you made along the way.

To anyone who has lost someone, I hope that their memories bring you happiness. Continue to live for them, and make every day a better one.

My name is Eight.

Yes, like the number. No, I didn't choose it. I can't even say why my name is Eight. Every time I've asked my dad, he just says he'll tell me when I'm 'eighteen' and starts laughing. So I don't ask anymore.

Usually, I just do my own thing. I have surface friends, try to get through high school, the works. I wouldn't say I have a boring life, just nothing particularly exciting happens.

At least, until both of the only girls I regularly talk to ended up confessing to me when I thought they couldn't possibly be interested. Instead of choosing one or the other, I decided to propose the idea of dating both of them at the same time.

I am way in over my head.

*Edited with the appreciated assistance of Arkadios!*

Twilight may have had a bit too much to drink one night and accidentally brought a human named Arc from Earth to Equestria. They have much to teach one another. That is... if they will accept him into their society. Time will tell if humans and ponies can truly live together in harmony.

BE SURE TO START WITH "VOLUME 1 - CHAPTER 1"!

This is quite a long story I originally wrote for my wife as a Christmas present two years ago. Work on it has continued over the past year, and just recently hit 1,000,000 2,000,000 3,000,000 words. I'll upload it chapter by chapter as fast as I can translate them. The Equestrian Odyssey contains many characters from the show and comics, as well as a number of original characters I dreamed up to fill various roles. I hope you enjoy the first volume of my first ever story as much as my wife and I did.

One of my readers liked the story so much that they decided to write their own alternate version of events. Their story can be found here...
