This is the ninth story in my first MLP fanfiction series, written and recorded in 2003.

It's pretty hilarious, I didn't have a clue what I was doing, my common accent makes me cringe, my singing was appalling (I think I understand now why my parents didn't think it was worth sending me to the drama and singing classes I so desperately wanted!), and yet somehow all of these things make it kind of charming in its way.  Well, for me anyway, but I suppose I have a dollop of nostalgia in my mind which makes it more interesting!

The My Little Pony Magic Series follows the story of the evil Black Pony of Darkness who apparently wants to take over Ponyland.  Having said that, he seems to have a very strange way of going about it, picking on specific ponies who are not at all important in the scheme of things.  (But just happened to be my favourite childhood ponies, of course!)

It's Christmas Eve and the ponies are having a party in Paradise Estate.  Lofty and Locket decide to take a short flight through Shadow Forest.  When Lofty turns around, she finds that her friend has disappeared.  The ponies form search parties to try and find the missing pegasus.

This story introduces the (newly released) G3 ponies, especially Pinkie Pie, who was to become a major character. While it is obviously still a childish mess, I do feel I turned a corner with this tale and began developing the story and characters a little more.  Many of the concepts introduced in Lofty and Locket form the basis for my second fanfiction series, My Little Pony Mysteries.

One thing I should note is that I was very young and would sometimes make references to real people in the pony community at the time.   Bear in mind that I didn't know any of these people (I didn't even have a computer at the time but would go to the internet cafe and read about them) so none of my comments are personal!  No offence intended to anyone, if you got named it was because you were "famous" in my childhood mind!  There's nothing malicious in any of the stories but obviously if people have issues with anything I've uploaded, let me know and I will remove them.

And with that, I will leave you all to have a giggle!
