This story is a sequel to Be Human: the All-American Girl Sidestories

An All-American Girl Sidestory.

The upcoming weekend was going to be hard enough for Mike Hengst, what with having to take his wife to a meeting of regional senior officers for the U.S. Navy. The problem isn't so much having to go to the meeting, but that his wife; DJ Martinez, is a pony, and the man in charge of the officer's meeting hates ponies.

But thanks to a magical artifact provided by DJ's aunt; one Twilight Sparkle, which allows the user to temporarily assume a human form, everything should work out, right?

Not when the artifact malfunctions and makes Mike into a pony himself. With his entire world flipped on its head, Mike must now survive the weekend in his wife's place as a pony among humans. And there's no guarantee the change is temporary this time.

For Derpy Hooves, life is never easy. Even as an accomplished scientist and scholar, she still has to contend with a twin sister that hates her, living alone in a tiny town and working a dead-end job, and, of course, her eyes, which causes her to be clumsier in public than she normally is. For her, life sucks.

But now, Derpy has to face a decision that could rock the very foundations of her family, her life and her future. And if that wasn't enough, one of the neighborhood foals, Sparkler, may need her help desperately. And to top it all off, a secret project of hers might just change the world of ponydom forever.

She's got a lot on her hooves. Maybe too much.

“My name’s Daisy Jo Martinez. I was born – or so my birth certificate says – on March 30, 2012. I’m married with two kids, my husband’s a Naval officer. I’m originally from a town just outside of DC called Winchester, Virginia – apple capital of America, yay, go me. I’m a Republican – that tends to shock a lot of people – and I’m a practicing Catholic – and that tends to shock more people than the first, and like I said, I’m married – I think people start passing out at that point. I've lived a happy, charmed life and I’m proud to be an American.

“And as you can also see, I’m a pony. Well, physically anyway."

The first main story of The All-American Girl Saga.
