[Normal][Comedy]

He is sentenced to remain in a small town they call Eqshana, until he can learn to "live in harmony" with its inhabitants. Unfortunately, a message from his king, Jove V, has turned his prison sentence into a mission of espionage.

Along the way, he will answer one of the most important questions he has ever faced: Is there really nothing to eat around here besides hay?

Story: Butterscotch's Adventures in Equestria (Update Part 5!)

[Shipping] This is technically supposed to be a parody of people that write clopfiction, by someone that writes clopfiction, so the obvious self insert is more than intended.

This will probably spark a bit of controversy. The original title was...interesting. I've rolled the dice before though (Luna X OChuman for example!). As long as it's really well written (And this one defenitely is), I don't see a reason not to give it a shot.... That and the self insert isn't decked out with a six pack, pheromones that attract ponies,  and lightning controlling powers. (You guys send the strangest things sometimes..)

Author: ButterscotchSundae

Description: When English teacher Connie Hayden is told by a mysterious new friend that there is a way to travel from the human world to Equestria, she doesn't believe her. But what if the legend of Pinkamena is true?
