The Friendship Mafia is about a former bully by the name of Herb Leafhorn, Jr. and his adventures throughout the city of Mareami, and across Equestria, redeeming his family name. His dad, Herb Leafhorn, Sr. gave him the wrong idea, and is forcing his son against the Gun family after what they did to the Leafhorns in the past. Herb, along with his friends, and now with the help of the Friendship Mob, it's up to Herb to bring peace and harmony throughout the hateful city, and kill it's disharmony, and make sure his dad must not try to stop him, or make things worse for other ponies.

This story is a spin-off of my other fanfic Friendship is Epic, only this time we're focusing on Flare's former school bully, Herb Leafhorn. Most of these chapters are just focused on Herb and his own adventures, but some chapters are going to crossover chapters with FiE, as well as my other spin-off coming soon of a character we're going to meet in FiE Book 3. But unlike FiE, it doesn't really feel like a TV show, more like a DLC of a game. It's also not as cartoonish as the other one. This has it's Mafia-type movie feeling, but except there's no killing involved, since I'm making this a child friendly story. Hope you enjoy! Brohoof! /)

(I had to make this story T-rated because why? I don't know. It's cartoon violence. It's alot like Danny Phantom, or the Clone Wars, and they're rated everyone.)
