Wow, that escalated quickly.
Anyway, I think you're the first to write 'villain' characters in a story in the Manehatannverse, aside from Nightmare Moon. I'm pretty curious to see how you will depict them in your story.

Well they aren't really villians, just guys trying to use our heroes. Plus, these guys will be more interesting as the story progresses.
Nice to see the different points of view from everyone.
Poor Spike, it seems that he's the butt of the joke sometimes.
Poor Spike, being tortured like that at the library.
I'll be waiting patiently for the next chapter.
Nice.
Will this zebra rhyme? Or are you too lazy for that?

I'll explain this in the next chapter.
Now we know the background story on our treasure hunting duo. I'll be waiting for the finale.
Nice ending to this story. The only thing i should tell you about, like what Skye told me, is that tangerine doesn't talk in conjunctions.
Example: instead of sayin "you're", she says "you are".

I don't know any fillies who act like this.
3713584 Everybody has a different interpretation on how they act in MLP.
Yeah, imagine Twilight and Spike had their roles reversed. Of if Trixie was the Element of Magic instead of her, Or Vinyl Scratch. Or imagine if Twilight was sent to Ponyville instead of Manehatten! Rediculous, right?!
You know, as much as I'd consider the mention of what-ifs an Easter Egg, you could get away with it just being a reference to the Maneverse. I honestly thought that was the case too. I just made a joke out of it. This... this is just a blatant reference to the Lunaverse. Don't try to deny it either. Out of all the alcoholic drinks it could've been, you couldn't have made Trixie drinking bourbon without it being a blatant reference. If it were anyone but Trixie, or if it were any other alcoholic drink, I could buy that it was an Easter Egg at best, if not just a coincidence. But the fact that it was Trixie and bourbon makes it obvious. I mean, it couldn't have been Apple family apple cider? Or considering the holidays, you could've made it eggnog. And you can't make the argument that the bourbon was for eggnog, because eggnog has rum.
I suppose I should apologize, since this came across as an accusation or a rant. Technically it was just me rambling and don't have any issues with the reference (if I did, I'd be a hypocrite). In fact, I'll give you a thumbs up for that reference, since it's only obvious to anyone who knows the Lunaverse. I actually went with the reference of Trixie's window's breaking (or I will when that story comes out).
I love it! Not only does this have an age regress, it also contains an element of an age flip! If I have one complaint, it's that I didn't get to do it first. (Seriously, I had this idea in my head for awhile to use in my AU, and other AUs if I ever expand my options.) I mean, the Flipverse also did it, but that was just poison joke. I suppose that counts, but even though that story came out before this one, the chapter it happens in came out later... I suppose it would all come down to who came up with the idea first.
When Twilight jumped off the bed, I'm a little disappointed that she didn't miscalculate the distance because of her smaller size.
So... is Harlem gonna be Manehattenverse's Everfree Forest?
Ya know, I don't really care what happens to Maximus. If he turns over a new leaf, fine. If not, I hope his horn never heals. But I want to see Hairy become a good guy. I mean, he already is one depending on how you look at it. He's just too childish and innocent to be a bad guy. And if only one of them changes their ways, I'm sure it would be him. It's just that Hairy is too innocent to realize that he's a bad guy.
Why do I get the feeling that this story will end with Twilight asking Spike to make some macaroni and cheese?
I ship it... even though technically it's inappropriate considering Tangerine's proper age. I think she's starting to experience the feelings that come with her transformed age.
