Comments contain spoilers!

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.
(The first four chapters were proofread and edited by themultiversewatcher, but since then it's been the incredible and... always interesting PingSquirrel.)
