This story is a sequel to As the Raven Flies

Sometimes, friendship can be a trial of endurance.

For Twilight, it's the trial of her friends heaping celebration and attention upon her to make up for several years of missed birthdays.
For Moondancer, it's the trial of rebuilding her friendship with Sunset and ignoring her rising jealousy over Sunset's relationship with Twilight.
For Sunset, it's the trial of conquering her inner demon before it pushes her to do something she can't take back.

Sometimes, trials end in failure.

Jackson Mills has lived in Equestria for almost two years now. Throughout his life, he hasn't really considered love to be important enough to worry over. He has a good life: a stable job at Sweet Apple Acres and a warm house to call his own. He's surrounded by good friends of all colors (literally).

When a condition from Earth resurfaces that threatens to limit his life, he learns that love can transcend not just different species, but different worlds. Soon, he will meet a mare that shares in his experiences, buried deep inside her past, along with another mare that stands by him.

A/N: A cute little plot I thought up at 1am. This will be a very long story, above 10 chapters, as I'm going all out on this one. I will be looking for editors and proofreaders once I have a cemented plot.

A new organisation has emerged over the last few months: one that was originally covert, but has recently begun to offer its services to all of Equestria.

In the mind of a certain pegasus, the reformation of Nightmare Moon sparked the idea of a better alternative to imprisonment , and her work on reintegrating a certain Spirit of Chaos into society pushed her to move forwards with it. It also gave her the tools to accomplish her goal.

Now, months on, that idea has flourished. The organisation has had so much success, in fact, that Celestia herself has passed a new legislation. This will allow the group of reformed, rehabilitated, and rectified creatures running the show to expand their roster, taking on members of the public, whether they be volunteers, or have managed earn their place through veritable villainy.

Celestia is just glad that she can unload some of those pesky miscreants somewhere else for a change.

This story was written around a thread that I made in the Writer's Group, where users voted on five characters to appear in a story together, the five tagged are the ones that received the most votes.

Simply put, Berry has bad breath. She's been known to go no less then one whole life-time without brushing or even flossing. The closest she ever comes is the occasional bottle of mouthwash she chugs (it's close enough when the party's run dry ... right?). However, deep, deep, deep down inside, past the Great Bay of Sherry, beyond the Bourbon Sound, and under the Gulf of Gin, lies a burning regret for this shameful act. After all, who drinks mouthwash? Oh, wait, the regret is for not brushing, ever. Simple mistake. Be that as it may, there is only one power in all of the universe that withstand breath so foul; that can cleanse evil so powerful.

And it's going to take a very long trip to get to it.

Minuette, or Colgate as her friends like to call her, has only ever wanted to be a dentist and she would be the best were it not for her strange magic. From a young age, Colgate has been the host of a magic that exercises power over time and space, a magic she cannot fully control. For the moment, Colgate has found a way to suppress her magic, to stop it from bearing her away to the arctic north or messing with time. Yet, little does Colgate know as the day begins and she, Bon Bon and Berry Punch harvest fruit, that her magic is about change her life. Soon she will borne be away to places she never thought she would go and meet people she never thought she would meet. And, as strange forces begin to take interest in her power, her friends will be snared in the crossfire. Time and space await...

Twilight Sparkle and her friends have learned many lessons. Sometimes, they weren't the right ones. Sometimes, they needed a little outside help to get it good.

Luckily a squad of battle-hardened therapist spies were appointed by Celestia to keep things on track.

....which begs the question of why she had a squad of battle-hardened therapist spies on hoof...

The filly must have been only a little older than Applebloom and her friends, but the smile she wore was starkly out of place on her youthful features. It was much too knowing, much too smug, much too jaded and cold to belong on someone that young.
"You'd be surprised what you can find by looking up pony in a blue box" she said cooly "I understand more about you than you know....Doctor

When Twilight, beset by a cold, asks the Doctor to get her some soup, she didn't expect any crazy adventures. She certainly doesn't expect to be stranded in the wrong time, chasing after a loose-cannon filly with the potential to irrevocably change time, and absolutely no qualms about breaking the rules.
In retrospect, the soup probably wasn't worth the trouble.

My life was simple: Wake up, go to work, go to bed rinse and repeat. Not the most exciting or fulfilling life, but I like it. It was simple, no one ever bothered me and most importantly it was orderly, no chances of me getting into harms way or going off to do something stupidly dangerous. But I guess the gods have other plans for me as I'm flung into the universe that all bronies love/wish to go. Then again most broines don't know the difference between the real Equestria and one they wish to believe in...and I'm getting the front row seat for this shit storm. Yet another extension in the universe Rust and Blackwing created and along with the many other contributers. I would also love constructive criticism and feedback. Also a big thanks to Aoi, i know you probaly have heard this before, but your awesome. Also any joke, reference and charcter i use and or mention belong to their respected party/creater please support the individual and blah blah blah legal stuff blah.

Lyra Heartstrings has always believed that there is more to the world than meets the eyes. However, when she begins to lose her grip on reality, or rather when reality begins to lose it's grip on her, Lyra discovers that the truth is more than anypony could possibly imagine.
