Prologue
Cold.
It was the only thing the young pup could think to describe his night, other than wet and hungry, as he curled himself up into a ball, shivering all the while. The wind was harsh, and the rain only made it worse. He hadn't eaten in days, ever since he lost his parents...
Where were his parents? Did they leave him? Didn't they love him anymore? These thoughts plagued his every waking thoughts, unable to dismiss them, even in his sleep.
Why did this have to happen? The young pup never did anything wrong. Sure, he had a bit of a sweet tooth, but that wasn't a crime, or was it? Another gust of wind blew, dismissing his thoughts and eliciting a whimper. Tears freely fell from his eyes, as he continued to shiver from the unforgiving elements of nature.
All he wanted was love, was that too much to ask?
Elsewhere
Twilight was galloping though the storm, using her magic to keep herself at least somewhat dry. On her back was a backpack filled with new books that she decided to borrow from her good friend Zecora. However she was starting to regret her decision, with the horrible weather, it was rather annoying to trudge through a storm like this.
"It's a good thing I enchanted my bags, otherwise Zecora would kill me," she laughed to herself, knowing the books would be perfectly safe. She was almost back to the library when she thought she heard a whimper, coming from a nearby alleyway, "strange, who would be out and about during this kind of weather," she asked herself, not catching the irony of the statement, and went to investigate. She gasped at the site of a small, purple puppy dog shivering in the cold, completely drenched.
She picked up the young pooch, startling the poor thing, and held him against her chest, cradling the poor thing as he continued shivering.
"Oh you poor thing," she cooed as she trotted back to her home on three legs, the fourth busy holding the young pup, "don't worry little guy, you can stay with me," she said as she entered her home with the young pup in tow. She looked around the house quickly, not spotting Spike anywhere, he must have gone to sleep, she thought to herself as she levitated a blue blanket towards the pup and proceeded to dry him off.
--------------
The young pup couldn't believe his luck. The moment he wished for love, a beautiful angel descended from heaven, and took him into her home. He couldn't help but let out a contented sigh as she dried him off with a blanket. He briefly wondered what color it was, but decided to just enjoy the moment. After a few minutes of rubbing, the mare was finally finished with drying him off, and threw the blanket into a nearby basket.
"Now let's get you something to eat little guy," she said as she walked into the kitchen, levitating her backpack off of her as she did so and setting it aside next to a nearby book shelf. The young pup followed his savior, his stomach growling as he did so. Twilight looked through all of her cupboards, trying to find sustenance for the purple pup.
"Well, that's not good," she said to herself, earning a questioning whimper from the dog, "I don't have any dog food, and the stores are bound to be closed for tonight," she petted the young pooch as she thought to herself, "oh well, I'm sure I can find a book that details what's safe for dogs to eat!" she clapped her hoofs together, excited to have an excuse to read.
She left the kitchen, still followed by the pup, and started scanning the bookcases, looking for any book that explained the dietary habit of canines. After a few minutes of searching she finally found a book that should help, entitled Dietary Habit's of Canines.
"Wow, didn't expect it to be that easy," she said to herself, sitting on the ground and opened the book up, the young pooch cuddling up to her as he watched her read. She smiled at him and petted his head once more, earning a loving nuzzle in return.
"Let's see, 'As a rule, your dog should only eat dog food, however, some pony food, in moderation, your dog can consume as a treat. These include melon, berries, bananas, peanut butter, and cream cheese. Usually, it’s better to leave out the salt and other seasoning,' huh, very interesting, well, I'm pretty sure I have some berries and a melon in the fridge," she said as she once again walked into the kitchen, followed by the young pooch.
Twilight opened the fridge and grabbed some berries, unable to find a melon (most likely eaten by Spike earlier), and gave him just enough so that it wouldn't be harmful, "sorry pooch, but you'll just have to wait till tomorrow for me to buy you some real food," she apologized as she pat his head.
The dog honestly didn't care, he was getting food and that was enough for him. He quickly finished his berries, sighing in content as he rubbed his face against Twilight's leg.
"You're a funny little guy, aren't you," Twilight giggled as she levitated the pooch and took him upstairs, "and courageous too, if you were able to survive on your own," at saying that she couldn't help but pity the young pooch, it was obvious he was abandoned, being able to see his ribs and all. She climbed into bed, setting the pooch next to her and hugging him, the young pup gladly cuddling up to her in return.
"Don't worry little guy, I'm going to take care of you," she cooed as she slowly fell asleep, "yeah, my...little.....Courage."

courage was a really fucked up show, i used to laugh at the show when i was little, but now I'm like...'Jesus that's fucked '
2036641 You laughed? That show scared me as a little kid, loved it but it was scary.
2036643
did you know in the last one his owners died?
Huh interesting, one would expect Fluttershy to adopt Courage but Twilight... Twilight would be excellent for him. As someone who remembers when the first Courage short came out in the mid-90s I expect great things from this.
2036646 No they don't, the last episode is where it explains what happens to Courage's parents, and where he tries to become "perfect" but realizes there is no such thing. And yes I looked it up.
I loved the that show when I was growing up and no it was not scary at all.
2036712 Hey I thought it was, but then again I'm easily scared.
2036661 That was my first choice, however, I needed someone to play the role of Eustace, and Spike can easily get jealous, and the role of the computer, that's where Owlowicious comes in. If I had chosen Fluttershy, Angel could have played Eustace, but there would be nopony to play the role of computer. So that's my main reason, just thought I'd let you know.
You need to capitalize some sentences here and there. That is the only problem I have with this.
2036740
Ah... and like Eustace, Spike still honestly cares for Courage. And you mentioned something about a comic on DA, could I get a link, I found some but I'm not sure if they are the ones you mentioned.
2036765 Sure thing, here you go

Oh that one, I got a kick out of that one
I certainly hope a Fred camo isn't out of the question....

holy shit man courage the cowardly dog
and its FUCKING AWESOME
keep up the good work man and cant wait for more
yes
2037182 NAUGHTY
2037429
Naughty now no longer sounds like a real word to me.
I love Courage, but Jesus Christ, some of the imagery in that show was so fucked up it gave me nightmares.
Courage the Cowardly Dog plus Ponies? Buck yeah. You earn a favourite and a brohoof my good sir.
If Katz shows up in this fic, many squees will be had. Seriously, that fucker gave me nightmares when I was a kid. And he had the coolest theme song.
But for now, like and fav for courage alone :D.
2037182 Never crossed my mind until you brought it up. I'll have to think about it since there aren't any humans in Equestria, at least I don't plan on it.
2038072 Katz however is completely possible since he could fit in with My Little Pony to an extent. Though he'll most likely be the final antagonist.
2037966 /)
2037507 Glad I'm not the only one
! That show freaked me out so much, but I couldn't stop watching.
2038717 Even now I'm still amazed at what they got past the censors. And I have to wonder where they came up with all of the creepy shit on that show. The writers must have smoked something and had bad high. But it's still one of my favorite old cartoons, right behind Ed, Edd, n Eddy and KND.
I will have involuntary shudders when I see the words "...Return the Slab..."
Regardless. Thanks for the beginnings of what I hope to be a long series. You deserve all the brohoofs!
Courage...in...MLP?! (INCOMING ROYAL CANTERLOT VOICE!)HOW AND WHY IN THE NINE CIRCLES OF TARTARUS HAS NOPONY EVER COME UP WITH THIS CONCEPT BEFORE?!?!?!?! (If they have, then I just derped, but I seem to be out of bucks to give
)
2037182
Hey, it's my human counterpart's cousin!
I'm kicking myself in the balls for not thinking of this earlier.
well just like the SKYLANDERS idea WHY HASNT ANYONE THOUGHT OF THIS IDEA BEFORE
Stupid dog! Ya made me look bad!
Oooga booga booga!
Nice crossover idea.
Lol! I came across some of this show long time back in the psychiatrists waiting room and eventually found some more of it, dang that show is messed up!
This has huge potential but at the same time has a chance of being quite the challenge though you already show great promise in the way you have written so far and having chosen Twilight, Spike and Owlowicious in the way you have, defiantly tracking.
gifsoup.com/webroot/animatedgifs5/2207427_o.gif just kidding

( just don't make a mistake or I will use this gif.
2038717
And as for freaky Fred....
2037182 pssst, lookie lookie
2040453
Not gunna lie.
Snip's smile genuinely creeped me the hell out.
2037182 NAAAAAAUUUUGHTTYYYYYYY...
2040453
So basically, the psychiatrist was drumming up repeat business???
2037182 Don't you mean...

Courage the Cowardly Dog is by far one of 8 cartoons I will always remember.
I am glad someone is crossing this over with ponies.
Now who will do a Megas XLR cross-over? (Mares dig giant robots!)
2044036 I checked your bio and found that you had no stories. You yourself could write the megas xlr fic, heck, I'll even proof read for you and give suggestions.
2044201 The idea did come to me before but then I realized that I don't have a vocabulary to describe the awesome powers firepower of Megas in all its glory.
Courage the cowardly dog. Hmm.... As long as a poorly written pony-fied Ramses doesn't show, I think I'm going to like this!
My word, I adored this show as a kid. Not sure what Courage is going to have to do here since Twilight is more dangerous than just about anything Courage fought...
Another great crossover with a classic and great cartoon. You have made me really happy.
I mean first your Johnny Bravo story and now Courage the Cowardly Dog. This story is sure to be good. Will you be doing more crossovers with classic cartoons in the future? Like Dexter's Lab or Powerpuff Girls.
Will you be doing your own version of any of the Courage episodes?
For bringing back some good memories. I'm going to give you some information that your bound to like. Check out the site called watchcartoononline.com. On that site you can find episodes for Courage the Cowardly Dog, Johnny Bravo, My Little Pony, and tons of other show's. All for FREE, and you don't have to download them or anything.
2044036
There's already a Megas xlr story on the site. It's called my little megas xlr and the name of the author is Alkem
YES! This is such a random idea for a crossover that IT JUST MIGHT WORK!
2045302 Okay thanks.
Wow, this is probably the only fic that already has 68 thumbs ups and no votes down. I am very impressed.
2050932 Don't worry, someone's bound to thumbs down it eventually
.
Heck I feel like thumbs downing it now that you said it and I wrote the damn thing!
2050961
Don't do such a thing, it is very rare for that to happen.
2050961 please, please have spike do this to Courage!
uoi could have also done a wionna the cowardly dog

I can't wait until more the the future.
Childhood meets Manhood, YAY!
2059014 Damn, that was also in my arsenal. But Fred is best creepy pony
