During one of Spike gem hunts, he gets captured by the diamond dogs. Force to apply to their order Spike is force to Watch over Rover. Wanting nothing to do with each other, Rover and Spike agree on one thing. They couldn't wait till their sentence was over.

Also this contains older spike.

This story is a sequel to Back to Panthera's Past

Cheif Marini of Zebrat. Queen Katherina Proudpaws. King Thamus of Orithinia. King Meowmeow of Abyssinia. These four leaders and various other creatures from their homes have a meeting with Princess Twilight Sparkle and various other leaders of Equestria's kingdoms. These things take time, so the other visiting creatures go and visit Ponyville to have some fun.

Dusty wastelands, scorching deserts, jagged mountains, perilous canyons... that about sums up the main features of Equestria, a place that's less of a nation, more of a loose group of widespread towns and cities that depend on each other for supplies. But the distance between civilized places is great, the environment treacherous, and the land crawling with cutthroat bandits of all races. Who would dare trek to make sure the goods make it on time (for the right price)?

Enter the Caravaneers.

Young Earth pony Wagon Trail had always wanted to be the leader of his own caravan... helping his fellow pony, work alongside friends, fend off a few bandits, and earn some bits in the process!

So when he inherits what was left of his uncle's own caravan, including the only three crew members who didn't die in the ambush (because they weren't there), he couldn't have been more excited!

Oh, what a fool he was.

For the life of a Caravaneer is not an easy one. Food and water run low, carts and wagons break, and tensions and rivalries form. Will young Wagon Trail be able to cope with the danger, the death, the betrayal...

Will he be able to be... a Caravaneer.

NOTE: I vaguely based this off of the flash game Caravaneer.
I do not own this game, nor do I own MLP:FiM.
Also, while alternate reality versions of characters from the show will probably pop up, I'm resisting the urge to make them main characters here. I have already decided a few side characters who will have influential roles, but at the moment I don't think they will be enough to require tags for them.
One last thing... if anyone can find or draw a good picture for this, that'd be great. Just something for the time being. Thanks.

UPDATE (9/21): Okay, I broke and decided that yes, the side ponies I wanted to mention in the story will become main characters at some point. So now the main characters won't all be OCs. So I have added the tags for those future characters below. Also, added a sex tag, because there will definitely be sexual references later on. Nothing descriptive mind you, my goal is to keep this Teen rated, but it will still probably happen.

UPDATE (9/23): Woo! Found a decent cover image for the time being! Later on, once I've gotten more characters, I might try to draw (or more likely find someone to draw) a more detailed, story-specific cover.

Rule 63'd Daring Do! Enjoy.

Twilight Sparkle, scholar extraordinaire and permanent resident of the Canterlot Grand Library has been thrown out of her comfort zone and into an adventure to chronicle the frontier life in the town of Appleoosa and the impact the Grand Rail, a project reminiscent of the transcontinental railroad, has on the population... with a few bandits, explosions and trickery thrown in for good measure.

This story is essentially an alternate universe fic retelling the story of how Twilight first met her friends, with a wild west setting and flavor.

After several long years of fighting, the Equestrian government has managed to hammer out a ceasefire with the CB invaders. While order must be maintained on the front line while a final treaty is produced, but the soldiers from Fort A have other plans. At royal invitation, they are attending a celebration in Canterlot. The four of them can finally relax, after all, nothing can go wrong at a party right?

The Princesses have a recieved a letter from the Diamond Dogs. A letter of peace, saying that they have agreed to stop their attacks on the ponies of Equestria. They've agreed to send an ambassador for their race, and the Princesses were more than happy to oblige.
