Struggling musician Howard Hall's only wish, is to be the best performer in the world, and when that one wish gets granted; things will never be the same again. Two music masters from the world of Equestria appear and take Howard as their star protege, and vow to make him a master. There's just one problem: they're ponies.

My name is Overwind. It's my last name, but that's how everyone calls me nowadays.

Starting just over a year ago, my life has been hanging on a weakening thread. Life's just beating me down like a bully to an easy prey.

But life is like a Beach, as my wife once told me. You'll get nice and sunny days most of the time, but once in a long while, a storm brews up to screw you over like your its *****. Now I'm in an alien world, strangely same to mine, but it has a key thing that makes it strange. It's ruled by magical, anthropomorphic, pastel colored race, who calls themselves 'Ponies'.

I don't know if this is the second wave of a Tsunami that decided to hit me a year ago, or I got myself some very great helpers to rebuild what I've lost. My new friend, Applejack's been the most helpful of the six. I can't ask for a better friend.

Noted: This story is not my original idea. It was requested by Deepfreeze222 in Fanfiction, though the parent Author have given me freedom to write it how ever I want. But sense this is Deepfreezes' story and not mine, I will get it as close as I can to the Author's original idea of the story's plot and whatnot.

You are a human, Anonymous, that has lived in Equestria for two years. After a Hearth's Warming Eve spent together, Anonymous goes through a revolutionary phase when he realizes that Rainbow Dash, his closest friend in this world, has been harboring feelings for him that he never even noticed. How did he never notice? Why him, and not a stallion? Is he some kind of xenophiliac deep down?

Rated for language, along with various sexual-themed exploits. But no sex. Because sex with pastel-colored horses shouldn't be posted on websites that are meant to be browsed by anyone who can click a check box on a dropdown list used by anyone browsing a website. Or at least made to be more secure than that. Because really, who would want to read something like that?

This story has been modified from its original version. It has been formatted to fit the prose-reading mind.
