Connor lives a normal life in his town, going to school and working at his local martial arts studio as an instructor. He has the whole house to himself because his family is currently on a trip to see relatives out of state. Unfortunately, when a mishap occurs from one of twilight's experiments she ends up in his back yard.
But after the betrayal of his good friend, he and Twilight are forced to flee the cops and back to her dimension. Now, Connor must find a way to cope with his new body and make a new life in this strange pony world; that means getting a job, making a living.
However when a new career opportunity turns into a plot to take over the world arises, will Connor, Twilight, and the gang be able to stop it in time? Or will they be forced to follow the whims of the pony behind it all?

IT'S PROBABLY NOT GOOD.
I think it's good so far. Please more
I like it.
Moar soon Peese.

Hm... that was quiet unexpected... I LIKE IT!
Wow, GG Michael, way to be another human.
I hope they are all aware he can't go back...as many people saw him go into a portal...and if he suddenly appeared months later, he wouldn't be able to just go back to his house...
Ah, Twilight's lab would not pass Health and Safety Standards. For shame. Being a Princess does not excuse hazardous work environments, Twily.
Was Twilight up all night pacing again? She really needs to kick that habit.
Cousin would have been smoother than sister. Or even daughter of a family friend. Sister just opens the door for so many possible complications and trip ups.
Let's see... betrayed by the friend he trusted for potential fame and fortune (said friend being an idiot because with today's culture, the whole 'dissect clearly intelligent ET' would have massive negative backlash), accosted by law enforcement, thrown/leaped out of own world, realized he was changed without warning and gained three new appendages as part of the deal, and then finds out his trip has an extended stay package attached? Yeah, I believe a freak out is in order.
First impressions or not, you're going to black list the guy who housed, fed and took care of your best friend for days because of a little freak out after all that? Bit shallow of you ponies...
This is all I could think of when I saw him trying to swear.
5836540 Oh, don't worry. I've got a lot of things planned out and I plan on covering the backlash of when he returns... But that's like ages from now. I've only just started with this.
5837130 Give it time... Remember how I put the CMC as part of the characters showing up? Just sayin'
5837034 I do want to make clear right now that there will NOT be any kind of romance what so ever in this story. It will be kept at close comradery and that's it. But as stated already, he made it up on the spot. Those things aren't always the best laid plans, anyways.
I'm guessing there will be an explanation of why twilight wasn't human, but Conner turned pony?
5838396 Honestly, wasn't thinking from the romance point of view. More from the 'sister raises more questions than cousin would'. Connor needs to think better on his feet
5840517 Yeah, half truths are more of his game rather than out right lying.
More unexpected twists and turns. I like it^^
this is a great story so far, Conner is definitely one of the more proactive and out going of the HiE character. looking forward to the next chapter.
Ponies are rather trusting, aren't they?
It's certainly going to be interesting when Scootaloo's [not] Big Brother and Big Sister meet.
5844309 All in good time my friend.
The description doesn't excite me to read this, exactly.
Hint for you: the first letter of every proper noun such as a name, and every word at the beginning of a sentence, is ALWAYS capitalized. That's a basic rule of good writing.

Drum roll please. And the winner is...MICHEAL!

5855190 Read! I meant to say READ!
Goddamn my brain.
5855312 As for your other tip: if you would like to help out and keep basic mistakes like that from happening, just pm me an email address and I'd be more than willing to give you a copy of the next chapter to proof read.
5857750 I'd love to, but I have my hands full with work, university and my own fanfics
Sorry, mate.
This is interesting. Not a standout HIE, but not a cut and paste cardboard one either.
5865445 Give me more time, I haven't even touched on the over arching plot line that I have planned out or introduced my main badie yet.
5865563 Well, I've placed it in my tracking list, so I'll catch the next updates. Should diversify my library more............
This was a good chapter, I'm looking forward to the next one
Ah AJ, just when he was starting to sort things out, mostly. I think he was a big quick to jump from one job to another though. Babysitting is kind of an important thing. Seems a bit irresponsible and a tad callous of him to just dump her like that. Volunteering himself and scoots to help out with the chores for a while would have been a better call (personal opinion) since it still covers the 'watch our daughter' and the 'let AJ get a chance to judge better' without seeming irresponsible.
Mind you, I can get his reasoning, but just leaving Scootaloo like that, the first day on the job? Meh...
I see babysitter/babysitting several times. I must ask, shouldn't it be foalsitter/foalsitting? Princess Cadence was (referred to as such by Twilight) Twilight's foalsitter so I'd think it would be considered the accepted if not expected usage.
5870406 Right now Connor is still used to his world, so babysitting is the correct term in his mind. Foalsitting is the correct term for that world, but remember this is only day two in the pony world.
5870255 Hmm, perhaps a new arrangement needs to be made in the foalsitting job. I see a sit down at a table to discuss dealings in the future. Thanks for spotting the plot hole.
5872171 Scootaloo brightened at the thought of having her babysitter/older brother coming back home tonight
“But that's just it! He's staying at my house right now and my mom and dad have him as a babysitter. So we can use him to help with our crusading!” Scootaloo said excitedly.
I was in part referring to these occurrences. I also speak that when he says babysitter to those around him, they show no reaction to what would be considered, uncommon or incorrect usage.
5872188 Ooooohhh, hmm. Maybe a slight revision soon? I'll change Scootaloo's dialogue, but the reaction between babysitting and foalsitting I will make at a later time. I would like to get started on the next chapter with Twilight. Oops, spoilers!
5870255
I gotta agree with you here, ditching a job on the first day is pretty irresponsible. You'd think Applejack would pick up on that.
I wonder if he can play the "you know I helped your friend for several days and risked my life to bring her home, and I am sorry for how I acted and want to make amends for my thoughtless behavior" card, it seems easier than just agreeing to that many conditions, especially if he has to do it multiple times for each of the mane six. I mean, cut him some slack, they owe him.
Glad to see another chapter, I hope things don't go too awry for Connor, I suspect that won't be the case since he has already been pulled through a portal and changed from a land dwelling primate to a cloud hopping equine(in the making).
That freakout was hilarious
YES! NEW CHAPTER! I like this story.
I don't think Connor is really ok with being in this world or his new body. I want to see more how he will handle this all.
Definitely like how this is shaping up. The guy's got issues that can get him in trouble, but at least has enough understanding that he may have gone too far.
And the standard response is required here for anything involving the CMC: "This won't end well!"
5898543 have you ever read about the five stages of grief, before? it's a fascinating article...
5900794 I know about this. But sadly it's just barely used in this kind of stories. Seems like you will use it. Can't wait to see the next chapter^^
I hope Connor gets some help, he is quite literally beating himself up with overdoing it.
5919767 why are you up at this hour of the night? i just posted it at like 1:30 in the morning...
5919776 Hehe, it is 6am here and I have trouble sleeping so I usually have to push myself til near total blinding exhaustion to get a solid snooze in.
Awesome chapter. Really good how you described Connors emotions and his inner conflict.
I'm looking forward to see how his plans will be working out. Keep up the good work.
There's a word missing in this sentence between the words "me" and "him". I think the word "punch" would fit.
