One day, Octavia decided to go for a walk around town.

A few weeks—then months—later, she became friends with a Griffonian Warlord, had tea with the ambassador of Zebrica, played music for a Draconic god, hoof-bumped a Sea Serpent, stopped a Diamond Dog raid, traveled across an arid desert, joined a pack of Gypsies on a pilgrimage, and found herself in the middle of a bloody race war with nothing but a box of wool socks.

Gods did those things smell.

Sequel: Road Gangs: Ray Part II

From the desert wastelands of a post-apocalyptic Earth, a lone road-dwelling scavenger stumbles upon the magical land of Equestria while escaping a rogue military faction. Time falls short for the human man and his building friendship with the community of intelligent ponies, as the faction has followed his tracks into Ponyville. With the help of his new friends and their former foe, he prepares to defend against this powerful new menace in a daring last stand.

[12/17/2017 Update]: Both Ray stories have been tagged as "alternate universe" since they follow outdated Season 2 canon and I'm not interested in updating the "Rayverse" to accommodate later seasons. That includes potential sequels I have planned.

College, most see it as that time in your life that you struggle through to make the rest of your life easier, but what happens once you're out of it?

For some ponies, they have a job lined up, they move somewhere new, and go into a daily routine of just living life. Others seem to have life thrust upon them in ways they will never expect, but everypony is different right? Whoever said life get's boring once all the prep is done was wrong.

Follow the day to day misadventures of a group of ponies starting what some would call the prime of their lives, a time when anything can happen. From the day to day jobs, to meeting new friends, to maybe some romance, and of course the crazy adventures you come to expect from the town of Ponyville.

Yes, some say college is the way to prepare for your life, but many wise ponies will tell, as with many things...

"The end of one adventure is only the beginning of another."

Earlier chapters undergoing retroactive improvements.

Genre and character tags will be added when they arise.
