This story is a sequel to Good Trooper Gilda

Gilda has been a fugitive, a refugee, a prisoner of war, and a bat-hen to Equestria's fussiest unicorn. But it wasn't until she took 'the Princess's bit', that she began to know something about what it meant to be responsible for the welfare of others, even if the others in question happened to be the pack of imbeciles, blackguards, con-ponies, and bat-ponies who had been fool enough to answer her captain's call to the standard.

A crystalline standard which had not been seen in the living world for over a thousand years.

And although Captain Gleaming Shield and her motley band of raw recruits and shifty bat-ponies aimed to do nothing more exotic and dangerous than put a foreign princess on her proper throne, there are other things stirring in the shadows.

Like calls to like, and the revival of ancient battle-colors may lead to the revival of other, darker memories upon which the rays of Celestia's sun lay lightly and infrequently.

What happens when you throw a Roaming Princess, space exploring Pegasus, country equa-lion, meek vampire, and a haughty seapony into a modern waitress’s home with no explanation?

Confusion, destruction, and friendship as they try to find a way home. Followed closely by secret societies, forbidden magic, and a heaping of destiny as they battle to save their friends from a dark cult and rescue the world in the process.

This story is a sequel to Bulletproof Heart: The Great, The Powerful, and the Bulletproof

When he left Spurhoof, Sheriff Cranky Doodle handed his badge to Code Red. Why? Heck if Red knows. Not that he's complaining, being a sheriff in a tiny town like this is easy! Just pretend to have a backbone and enjoy the cushy position.

Until the day an unknown pony starts camping on the roof of the Wagon Train Clothier and firing warning shots at anypony who comes close. As if that's not bad enough, now a posse of drifters have arrived who look like they're planning something unpleasant. Suddenly, being sheriff of Spurhoof isn't all that great. But Red's got the badge, so he's supposed to do something about it.

May the Sisters spare him.

Written for the 'Write an Episode' Challenge, partially because the rules intrigued me.

Story is set during the events of the as-yet unreleased Bulletproof Heart sequel. It's not necessary to have read the original to understand these events, although it would help to fully grasp some of the background.

Cover art was found using a Bing search. Might apply a more customized one later.

Thanks to Merc the Jerk and Wanderer D for pre-reading!

Love wasn't something Gilda was familiar with. Griffons weren't that nice to each other until recently. For Gilda, though, it didn't take long for her to find it. It just had to come from someone who wasn't a Griffon.

That someone just happened to be way more foreign than the ponies. A little more dweeby than them, too.

Chapter title provided by: RedHoodie21.

It started in the distant, rough and tumble Griffin mining town of Shady Sands, infamous for being a town where just saying the wrong greeting could start a fight and not a day went by where a building didn't get wrecked by some wild brawl in the saloon.

Then the Sheriff came to town and started a revolution that swept across the Griffin Kingdoms.

Now, Twilight Sparkle is facing a strangely worthy test of her intellect and skill as a scholar as the Sheriff's strange weapons are now being considered for usage by the Royal Guard for law enforcement duties and Princess Celestia wants her faithful student to answer one rather difficult question.

How can simple foam darts fly truer than any arrow or spell, penetrate magical shields and armour, knock an adult pony out cold, level buildings and yet not leave a bruise on a foal?

The journey to find out the answer will be long, painful, and full of foam.

Set somewhere in Season Six. Definitely after Five.

Celestia's personal dungeon. A thing of mystery. A thing of terror.

So just what does it take to get banished to such a deep, dark, horrific place?

Not much, actually.

Despite her appearance, behavior and unfriendly ways, Gilda isn't that bad. She proves this to Fluttershy when she attempts to redeem herself for the sins she made.

My name is Gilda. I used to be a Griffon warrior, until I got banished.

When you're banished, you've got nothing. No clan, no funding, no gold watch and friendly job reference. You're stuck wherever the Griffon clans aren't.

You do whatever work comes your way. You rely on anyone still talking to you. A speed-freak ex-marefriend. A megalomaniac illusionist working as a middlemare for the EIS.

Family too, if you're desperate.

Bottom line is, as long as you're banished, you're not going anywhere

Hardships serve to reveal true friends and expose false ones. True friends are not bound by convenience, rather by the ability to stick together and pick each-other back up when times are rough, even if the two "friends" barely know each other.

This is the lesson Fluttershy learned the first time she met Rainbow Dash, back when the cyan pegasus stood up for her against the most popular filly in Cloudsdale Flight School. A time when Fluttershy's own "friends" didn't stand up for her.

This is the story about how Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash, two fillies with radically different personalities, became friends.

This is a collection of short stories, all shipping, and all with some element of luck involved in the pairings. All the stories take place in the same continuity, and all pairings are final! No cheating in these fics, sorry.

When Rainbow Dash kissed her, she had no idea what she was doing. She was running on automatic. Will the pony of her dreams hate her? She really is the Stupidest Pony In Equestria.
