Seven ponies have been transported from ancient times to the modern era. In their own time, they were heroes, and to this day they are (mostly) remembered fondly. However, the time between their departure and return has left society completely different.
Princess Luna, remembering her own period of adjustment, wisely decides that the Pillars of Equestria need personal guides to this new era.
She, not so wisely, selects them herself without consulting anyone and assigns them to their select heroes.
This... may not end well.

Chapters (1)
Oh this is going to be FUN, I can tell.
… She just had to say it, didn’t she. Welp, onwards to zany antics!
Looks like you swapped two of the ponies by accident (haven't read the story but can't imagine you meant it that way).
Fluttershy: Pinkie Pie is easily distracted. Treesie is baked off her plot most of the time.
Tree Hugger: I do partake!
I get the feeling Luna is straight up trolling here.
Can't wait to see how this craziness unfolds!

Nope, no accidents.

So Tree Hugger is the fashion horse and Sassy is the healer?
Well now. I think I see a bit of Moon Horse's underlying logic. I have a feeling this will go better and worse than expected. Should be quite the spectacle.
Also, some fantastic comedy, from the language issues to Lyra the Clever.
Immediately hitting that tracking button.
This can only go well.

They're not direct counterparts. That isn't what Luna's basis is.

Ah, thanks.
Honestly? I clicked on the image because I thought it was six dakis lined side by side.

I think the idea is getting them adjusted to the changes by putting them outside their comfort zones by pairing them with ponies that aren't like them.
I wonder if Luna is aware of the existence of S.M.I.L.E.(equestria's MIB) and picked Lyra and Bonbon to go with the biggest VIP and the reformed pony.
Oh yes, they explore all right. But I suspect that it would be more about exploring exotic substances and less realm exploring :).

Oh Luna only vaguely knows about SMILE but she trusts it's head the mysterious "L," implicitly because she's a handsome devil with excellent taste in domino masks.

Was pairing Lyra Non-Clover with Starswirl a bit of payback for those essays Luna had to wrote?
had a similar idea for a fic where Moonbutt 'helps' the citizens of the crystal empire, but it never went anywhere.
Hmm... if I was Luna, I could name better ponies for the job, but this still will be fun!
8538591 Ever see that episode of Futurama where Bender ran a dating service where he claimed he had matched up six applicants with another 6 individuals perfectly suited to them, but he actually just went to the local bus station and rounded up everyone waiting there? I suspect Luna did something similar.
8542482
Heh! Yah, seems about right. XD
I think Luna was unruly! Also,it's too lucky for those who walk-on pony
Famous Last Words....
Murphy, that's your cue
Of course Luna jinxed it. Well, this should be fun.
Tracking this one for sure!
Also, congratulations! You get my very first comment!
From what i've read, the events of the MLP Movie take place some time after Shadow Play, but before Season 8. Will this be addressed in this fic?
Great start on this.
Please continue this!
Aww, no mention of Bon Bon aka Special Agent Sweetie Drops interacting with Stygian?
Well, she did put the former secret agent in charge of the reformed villain, so perhaps she didn't just grab the first ponies she could...
it will have continuation?
This was a great start and I look forward to more.
Is the store going to get to continue on
This is a pretty interesting start with the pillars return it looks like Princess Luna wanted to help them to adjust to the world and she even asked random ponies to help out the situation which pretty interesting choice I must say so you got Daring Do with rockhoof Lyra and bonbon with star swirls Sapphire Shores with Mage Meadowbrook Sapphire Shores with Mistmane Moondancer with Sonnambula and Vapor Trail with flash magnus very interesting pairing but what about stygian I'm sure he needed somebody to be paired up with but this is a pretty interesting story and I really hope the story continues on I would love to see how it goes
