Meanwhile, a young man is enduring a very difficult time in his life. One of his closest friends is gone. He lost his job on top of other things. He's beginning to sink deeper and deeper into a dark place in his mind, with no one to turn to. But one day that will all change. And that day is today…

Rated Teen for Language

On hiatus indefinitely but NOT cancelled yet.

Authors Note: This fic begins pretty sad, but that does not necessarily mean that the entire fic is sad. I wish I could re-order the tags somehow but it is what it is. By alternate universe, I only mean that Scootaloo comes to Earth, and nothing else. This story takes place sometime after Babs Seed comes to town, but before Sleepless in Ponyville. Thank you for reading and please enjoy
