*Please read glossary before starting the story. This is a humans-as-ponies fic.*
13 years ago, a terrible force attacked Earthica, cursing everyone into a frozen, ageless state; except for the CMC. Now grown adults, they continue to struggle and find a way to unfreeze time, and more importantly, the main 6.
Glossary of some terms:
Earthica = Equestria
Peoplesville = Ponyville
Original = Earth [pony]
Winged = Pegasus
Magik = Unicorn
Central City = Canterlot

(PS, I know Sweetie Belle's hair color is all wrong, but rest assured in the story it's how it should be (pink and purple)).
Chapters (13)
Huh, strange that you would have this as a 'Equestria is Human' type fic. Don't see those too often. Although, with it being like that, you should really have the AU tag.
Anyways, this is pretty well written. I think I'll see where this goes.
this is on my "read later" I'll let you know what I think tomorrow

never mind, it shall be read tonight!
Nice start, but I wonder where's Scootaloo in this at first ?
Please do keep up the good work.
i am intrigued. I would like to see how the story goes, before making any further judgements about it.
I saw the title, and couldn't help but think of this.

Anyway, not a bad story. Good luck with your writing in the future.
Eh, why not, tracked.
so far so good i will track this
Just a small update for anyone still interested in this story..
I'm interested. I really want to know what that epic quest is that the CMC has to do. Can't see the benefits of using humans but maybe it wil come... You've got me hooked...

I'm not sure if there's any benefit to them being human, but I just wanted to try something a little different and see how it turned out
Thanks for the comment! Glad to see I've got at least one brony hooked
Well, three chapters in and I like what is going on, please keep up the good work

Thank you! I know it's a little slow going right now, but I'm building it up! Interesting things will happen, I assure you
glad to see an update
Not bad
I don't understand why this has so few thumb-ups. It is a fun story to read and I foresee epic adventures for the CMC in the future. But about Spike, I really hope now he is older he finally has a real mustache
.
shit just got real

Thank you! I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying the story!
I think that most people are turned off by the fact that they are human, and that's why there are quite a few thumbs down in relation to thumbs up. Hopefully as the story progresses and more things happen, it'll get more thumbs up!
I forgot about Spike's mustache..

Everybody does. There are so many fanfics with a grown-up Spike, or at least an older Spike. And I realize the more serious fics have no room for such a small one-time-gag. But it feels that it would fit in this fic. The lightheartedness off the CMC, even if they have grown-up in a very harsh enviroment still shines through.
But today I realized something. I look very forward to the epic quest/crusade the CMC has to make to unfreeze everybody. But I'm equally interested in what happens next. Rarity and AJ have suddenly a older sister, Twilight's baby-dragon assistant is no baby anymore, most of Sweet Apple Acres is overgrown (if everybody unfreezes, where do they find food?) and other things time changed.
Well, it looks like this story picked up nicely.
Now I can understand why some would not want to look though-out the town, and i would hate to be in that position myself. It does strike me as odd that two (what i can only assume where toddlers at the time) survived for 13 years with out help.
Okay, the part with the twins knowing English paired with the fairly weak explanation for it was kind of crappy.

At least I gave an explanation :)
1621053 You did. However unlikely it would be, It is an explanation
very interesting twist
What a

You just make my day.
Yet, I also wonder, if Zecora's the only adult Pony alive, couldn't she help the girls in their quest as well ?
Man, its tough being a "leader."
It's even tougher when you're suffering the "The Super Mario Brps" Complex.
1593479
I second that, as I never knew that would happen at all.
Call that a surprise twist to the tale. I do wonder how did Spike survive it all ?
YAY, you added the Cake twins into the storyline. Nice idea, as I do wonder what happen to them when they saw their parents frozen.
Please do keep up the good work upon such a great storyline like this one.
Son of a Mare, what a
indeed.
I mean Just wow, talk about akward moments for this storyline. Just when you think it couldn't be any better you thrown this twist to the tale.
This may not end well for anyone, but in times of survival, even former rivals can end up being the best partners. I hope....
Nice update overall in this tale, I cannot wait to see what happens next.

This story just gets better and better each chapter. Truly an amazing storyline that forces the CMC to grow up in a unusual way.
And with the add-ins in this tale, I Cannot wait to see what you have place for the next chapter of this tale.

Mmmm... I guess she could, and it's not so much that she isn't helping, it's more that the CMC are more adamant about finding a cure than she is, so they search for one more frequently.

Hahaha, love the pic you posted! Love Flim and Flam!
Why do I get the feeling that this is where you'll introduced Discord into the tale ?
Also, how can these "Heroes" face him, without the Elements ?
Do keep up the good work upon such a great tale.
I don't understand why this story has so little views. Yes it is a ponies as humans story but that shouldn't matter. But now the fun really begins, sadly there is a little wait between the story's.
But I have a question, why do you publish your story-parts as different story's. It makes it a little less imposing but they are not that much; the reception series has a reasonable 90554 words total if you count all 3 the parts together. That a little bit more than Harry Potter 3. But it is your choice.
And now about the main-villain. I expected Discord in human-form but the karkadann looks completely different according to google. Here is a nice picture of it:

Hooray they saved the Elements of Harmony, but they also doomed their world as well.
Now I wonder whether the Crusaders will play a major role in Part 2 of the Story ?
I also wonder how will everyone take up to the older Crusaders and their "allies ?"
Do keep up the good work as I cannot wait to read part 2 of this tale.

Thanks again for supporting my story!
I dunno. For the "Reception Series", personally, I just didn't want it to have like a zillion chapters under one story. It seems a little much (again, for me personally) for a fan fiction site, to have to scroll all the way through and stuff.
For this story specifically, I'm breaking it into two parts, because there's such a shift in what's going on. First part is the CMC being on their own, and their lonely lives. The second part now, is that everyone else is back alive, and them now having to cope and deal with that.
Haha, yeah, I thought a karkadann sounded cool in my "Mythical Creatures Encyclopedia", though I'm going to jazz mine up a bit and allow it to do dark magic.
Wishful thinking but could u make a sequel?
