As long as there have been humans, people have disappeared without explanation; and as long as there has been militaries, there have been those who go missing. In 1986 I was one of those who vanished into the land of Equestria. At the time I was flying an F-14 Tomcat with the U.S. Navy's VF-84 fighter squadron. But life has a funny way of getting in the way of our plans and causes us to create new ones. My story was one of many. Along the way I got to know many famous people and help improve the nation of Equestria. I now write my story and hope you enjoy.

New side story here.

While on deployment to the Arabian Sea, the crew of a Royal Australian Navy Destroyer begin to notice that one of their helicopter pilots is starting to develop some rather odd quirks, both mentally and physically.
A cutie mark, wings, hooves, and a knack for treasure-hunting, just to name a few...

Part of the Five Score shared universe by Twisted Spectrum
Sometimes, even in the darkest place, hope can be found. When 2 Rangers find themselves changed by the Five score curse, their lives are forever altered. With a past life full of missed opportunities, and questions about their own destinies, can 2 friends find a new path for themselves or will they be expected to return to their old friends and family which they hardly recognize. When Hearts, cutie marks, and past expectations collide, a simple realization comes about, sometimes there is no right choice.

This story has a Teen rating, simply because it covers some mature themes and content, not due to gore, sexual scene or such.

Tags for this are a little hard, Its best described as a mix between Action and Slice of Life (which are of course conflicting tags), with a blend of comedy and sadness. (Conflicting tags), set in the 5 score human world.

I would Like to give special thanks to my support and editor, Sparky Brony, who helped with this story and encouraged me to write. Sparky Brony has been the BEST help ever in this. Cover art provided by the great and powerful Alkarasu keeper of the magic chainsaw.

Curious about Five Score? Come check out the story that inspired dozens of side fics and been enjoyed by bronies for years!

Original Synopsis Even though MLP:FiM ended a few years ago, my friends and I still loved the show. Stories, merch, fan art, I loved it all. Things started to get a weird though when I found myself with a cutie mark appearing on my leg. Humans aren't supposed to get cutie marks, so where the heck did this come from? And what's going on with my hair?

More Detailed Synopsis: Five Score is an action/adventure story of the human-to-pony transformation genre. It’s unique from most transformation stories because the transformation itself is not really the point of the story. It’s the inciting incident that raises countless challenges that must be resolved. They are on earth, as a pony, and need to fix this before things get worse. Think about yourself in their hooves for a moment. How are you supposed to change back or even figure out what caused it in the first place? How are you supposed to get food or do anything on Earth without being spotted by humans? If you are spotted or captured, how would you escape? How does one even open a door with hooves!? Did anyone else on Earth get changed as well? How could you get the word out to the other ponies who are themselves hiding? Is it worth risking travel across the country to reach the others? Which of your friends would you trust to help you deal with this? And why did you turn into this particular pony? Surely it wasn’t random chance, right?

These challenges are the tip of the iceberg in this full length adventure novel There’s a lot of humor, many tense scenes, and hell maybe even a war.

But don’t just take it from me, Look what random people on the internet are saying about Five Score, Divided by Four
