This is a short story of Cranky Doodle Donkey's past on his stay in an apartment in the city of Manehattan for his search of his special friend. Instead of finding Matilda, Cranky met a blue colt that greeted him on his first day in the apartment.

We all know how Cranky's long quest to find Matilda ended, but how did it begin? What happened in between? Here's as good a place as any to find out.

Proplr began to notice that Yankee Dooble Donkey and his wife Matilda disappeared after remarrying. Lyra noticed that her friend Bonbon was missing, who was Yamkee and Matilda's daughter. Lyra gets together with Applejack, and they have to figure where the family has gone to and whether or not they're in danger. Joint them in their adventure.

Cranky Doodle Donkey just wanted to settle down and enjoy a nice, quiet retirement after a lifetime of crisscrossing equestria. He picked what he thought was a quiet little town; not too far from a big city that he could take advantage of it if he wished. Yet far enough away that he had clean air and the sounds of nature to lull him to sleep.

Yeah.

Cranky is far too stubborn to walk away from a decision, he is a Donkey after all. And his marefriend Matilda lives in Ponyville, so there is that. But the sheer pandemonium that afflicts Ponyville on a near daily basis has him wondering why he bothers to stick around. And when disaster does hit, do the ponies turn to the guard? To the elected officials? No, they turn to a group of young mares not even old enough to legaly drink, lead by the least mentally stable of the lot.

And now Cranky has to help the unhinged librarian solve the latest crisis afflicting ponyville. Or sleep on his own lumpy couch.

Grunt.

Matilda, Screwball, Mothball, Discord, and the rest of the family pranks Cranky by having a fake hag attack him. This story is based on Daughter Of Discord by DisneyFanatic2364.

You've read about Gilda Griffon meeting Oscar the Grouch on Sesame Street? Here now is, not a sequel, but a follow-up to that story. This time it's Cranky Doodle Donkey, Ponyville's least sociable resident, who suddenly finds himself in a strange place, where nothing makes sense to him, or impresses him. It's the world of The Electric Company, and whom should he happen to meet, but the resident crank himself: J. Arthur Crank. Let the sparks fly!

Not only was Sumponeigh Knot Yew ignored, he seems to have had some of his property miss-appropriated. Getting it back is not his real concern, but will Twilight fathom his real intent before it is too late?
