Discord is bored with everything since he decided to be good for the sake of his friendship with Fluttershy. However, he begins to hear rumors of a being with a chaotic nature similar to his own. So, on a whim, he goes to meet this being with the hopes of easing his boredom. Just what will he find when discovers the legendary holy sword, Excalibur, deep within the caves of England? Perhaps more than he bargained for.

Gayle is a fitness nut. Steve is a professional layabout. Gayle is super motivated, Steve is super not. The two are an unlikely pair of roommates, a real life odd couple. While they're such opposites, they're also an unlikely pair of firm, if antagonistic, friends. They also share a special birthday...

So of course, things get interesting, as things are wont to do in stories. On their 25th birthdays, they start noticing... changes. Are those wings Gayle is sprouting, and is that a beak? Is Steve growing a horn on his head... but losing a "horn" somewhere else? Why do the names Gilda and Lazy Bones sound familiar? Time to get the hell out of Dodge! In their quest to find a safe haven they'll stumble across a certain pair of twin brothers and a whole motley crew of other Equestrian castaways in what might be the most bizarre road trip ever! Of all time! And is that love blooming between our intrepid heroes?

A side story in the Five Score, Divided by Four universe.

ALOT of swearing. So beware, if that sort of thing bothers you. Seriously, the main character swears like a pirate on shoreleave.

Being a Wonderbolt has always been Dash’s dream, but will it make her happy? Or will somepony else become what is most important in her life?
