Sometimes, bad things happen to good ponies. A year following a tragic incident, Twilight Sparkle returns to Ponyville to visit what she has been missing - her town, her memories, and most importantly, her friends. But will everything be as she remembers it?

This story has a sequel titled "In History, Maybe".

Layda Hitcher is a twenty-two year old woman that has had quite a calm and quiet life. She had great parents, did well in school, heck, she even had relationships, but this all started to bore her. You can't be an Average Joe forever, right? As she sleeps in her parents' house as a temporary solution until she can finally go to her small little cottage-like house, she is awoken to see herself in an artist's rendition of autumn. Beautiful giant trees with magnificent colored leaves flowing everywhere, and verdoyant grass shining with the lively sun in the sky, occasionally being blocked by the silvery clouds. What will happen when a creature proposes a small adventure for her, with the only cost of taking said creature's form in this "other world"?

OC characters included.

Bronies... quite the interesting lot. Enthusiastic, excitable, and occasionally homicidal.

In the not-so-distant future, the government has established a specialized program for the more radical cases. Those particular individuals who had lost sense of reality and substituted it with their own. They claimed to be bronies, but that couldn't be farther from the truth. Now it's Doctor Hunt's job to help oversee treatment of psychopaths, criminals, and broniacs. Welcome to Alkatrot.

Martin Fairbridges was trying to get by with a regular life, a job as a night manager at a corner store, trying to find BETTER work, and looking for his destiny. It's true, Martin had always had the sense that he was meant for something greater than where he was currently in his life, but he never could figure out what it was. One day he gets his chance via a strange occurrence after his shift which then lands him in the world of equestria. On a completely different world far from home, he must adapt to the change in the environment, and the changes happening to himself turning him into something far better than a human. Not only must he do this, but he must earn the trust of Equestria and all who reside within this mystical land but he must do so before it falls under the shadow of Phobos, an ancient evil that feeds upon and uses fear itself.

FRIENDS WILL BE MADE, ATTACHMENTS WILL BE FORGED, DARKNESS WILL RISE, A HERO IS BORN!

Pinkie Pie and Celestia have an epic battle over the last piece of cake. The resulting explosion destroys Equestria. The End! :D

"If you asked me if I liked ponies, I would say "Never!"
I couldn't have known my life would change forever.
This is a poem of how I slowly caved in
But also the adventure all bronies partake in."

Sequel: Right here

You Won’t Understand This… thus the challenge of understanding is presented to you: the reader. Underneath the abstract style is a very concrete plot that the keen eye will be able to detect. But the story is only a piece of this work. In order to fully enjoy this composition, you have to toss out everything you know about conventional fanfiction and read it with an open mind. Only then will you be able to experience the story to its fullest extent.

AN: You get only three hints before starting. 1. You will be diving into the consciousness of Twilight Sparkle. 2. This is my tribute to William Faulkner’s style. 3. Think of this as a puzzle.

But most importantly, have fun! :)

Both Big Mac and Discord are in here. (Damn you character limitations!)

Besides this, there are many mysteries still left untold, many revolving around the strange Giga Sparkle. How will they be explained, and what is this about a statue?
