Edit : This was an April fool, there's nothing serious about it.

Hello everyone, I got a new project based on Yoki's Story I'm proud to present you.

Rainbow Flash CS6 contacted me two weeks ago for a project called Yoki's Story : Equestria, a fanfiction retelling the story of Yoki's Story with the characters and the settings from My Little Pony : Friendship is Magic. I must admit that I like the show, but I was not expecting an idea like this one at all. She told me she got the idea while watching the episode Dragon Quest, sharing a few things in common with Yoki's Story.

I was skeptical at first, not sure if it could work, but I decided to give a chance and asked her to write a few pages I would read to see if it would be good. To my surprise, it was already written, and I must say she's very talented. She found a way to retell the story without changing any character or setting. I pitched a few ideas too, mostly on the structure, as Yoki's Story has a very irregular structure it was harder to split it in chapters of the same length. There is also a few extra chapters telling the events of the three months between episode 3 and 4.

For the characters, every important character from Yoki's Story got an equivalent :
Yoki is played by Spike, as both have an identity problem.
Shion is played by Twilight Sparkle, both purple, OCD and genius.
Ao is played by Rainbow Dash, both cyan, fast and athletic.
Aka is played by Pinkie Pie, both red-ish, creative and unpredictable.
Yoshi by Zecora.
Toadette by Cheerilee.
Toad by Sweetie Belle, I don't know why, but she told me I would understand as the story develops.
Princess Peach by Princess Celestia.
Bowser by Princess Luna and Reswob by Nightmare Moon, it's strange putting two different characters as a single one but it's working great in this case.
Bowser jr. by Princess Cadance, both seen at first as an antagonist that ended helping the main characters.

The rest of the Mane 6 should have their roles too, but as it tries to follow the same actions from Yoki's Story, they will only contribute to the story by giving more information rather than influencing the events.

For the settings :
Yoshi's Island as Ponyville.
Toad city as Canterlot.
Bowser's castle as the Everfree forest's castle.
The ice village as the crystal empire.
Koopa city as Manehattan.

The first part should be available in a week on her Deviantart page.
