"Previously on My Little Pony; Space Ponies..."

Chapter 1

Scott, an artist member of the Furry community and a Brony is alone on the first of a few days off as a farm hand on an old man's hobby ranch for Miniature Horses. He is awaiting the MLP season 2 premier in several days. Out of boredom, he draws a version of his Anthro-Equine OC as a MLP.
Suddenly, Pinkie Pie appears and steps out of his TV and says she just had a Doozy about the creatures she knows are watching her -And that it led her there. Finding out he is pretty much alone in his life, she invites him to Ponyville for the party of his life. Returning him home would be a snap!
Rolling with it, the human agrees, grabbing things for an overnight stay. But, once there, he suddenly transforms into a Unicorn stallion, very much like his newly-redrawn OC.
Pinkie quickly figures it out! THAT was the DOOZY!

Chapter 2

Soon, Pinkie and Scott try to convince Twilight that he is not what he seems and needs her help. Between his mention of Alternate Worlds Theory and suddenly gaining his Cutie Mark when he sees his reflection as a Pony for the frst time, Twilight is convinced! She also warns them that his gaining a CM may have blown any chance of going home as what he was, since Cutie Marks are powerful magic that is part of the very fabric of Equestria.
After reassuring the CMC they wont wait as long as he had for his mark, Twilight herds Scott to the Hospital for tests while Pinkie runs off for party preps.
Twilight gets her first culture shock when he reveals what he knows of the show to her, while trying to reassure her nothing intimate is shown.

Chapter 3, 4, 5, 6

Medical testing and subtle pumping for information of the non-Equestrian alien ensues with Twilight and Nurse Redheart. The mystery behind why and how he changed grows when its realized he cannot read equestrian even while he speaks it just fine.
Twilight gets embarrased observing the more intimate portion of the stallion's exam and ducks outside, only to find Rainbow Dash is already hearing rumors about Twilight and the strange stallion. It seems Twilight forgot to make Pinkie promise not to tell about the former human's origins, and invites to the party are flying faster than E-mail.

A lunch break follows his fainting from a trick during the blood test, and then a little help to get as able as a newborn foal in using his hooves and horn.
So far, it seems his body and horn is as new and weak as if being used for the first time, barely able to make Unicorn foal's toys function.
While he's there, the mares introduce him to newborn foals and the Cakes who are in for a prenatal checkup. The cakes make a betting pool on the side on how soon he becomes a father, and with whom...

Chapter 7
Pinkie Partay! -And somehow she made the banner bilingual; Common Equestrian and English, for the Party Trifecta! A Welcome-Cuteceañeara-Birthday for Skybright Party!

The ponified Brony is quickly the target of unattached mares since he bears the long, athletic look of Canterlot Unicorns, and Rarity spiffs him up, noting he has self-esteem issues and then some.

AJ, Rainbow, and a reluctant Fluttershy drag him aside for questioning, accepting his answers for now. The two athletic mares teach him dancing in return.

Lyra also invites him to a private meeting at the candy shop at Noon the next day.

During the party, he meets Doctor Whooves, in his guise as Time Turner. The Doctor promises a proper meeting "sometime soon".
The highlight of his night is finding Twilight can dance despite what AJ and Dash say, as long as its formal ballroom dancing...

Chapter 8

Twilight has a romantic dream about the new stallion and promptly freaks out when she realizes she forgot to write Princess Celestia about him thanks to the party.

The reply sets Twilight a challenge, testing her to see if she can discover how and why he changed and for both to report to her in person when she does.

Chapter 9

-Day 2-

Pinkie treats the passed-out party Ponies to breakfast and hangover cures while Twilight mulls questions in her head. Why is he so accepting and even joyful of being a Pony when she would be a wreck for days if the situation were reversed?
That and other questions she hope will be answered over the coming days.

Spike has a bad feeling about it all when he finds Scott is as much a bookworm as Twilight is...
Rainbow Dash accidentally flashes Scott, finding he is easier than any stallion to tease.

Chapter 10

Spike rescues Scott from a cold shower, then goes into "protective brother" mode thinking the stallion is acting funny about Twilight. Nope, just Rainbow Dash's flashes...

Testing in the basement lab proceeds, checking his magic levels while Twilight reveals the Library is one of the town's wireless power substations. Rainbow Dash has an accident with the substation that sets off a Panic Surge in Scott. Chaos erupts as with Twilight's school test years before, with Rainbow Dash transforming into a wooden carousel Pegasus.

Everything returns to normal when Twilight overpowers his magic, smothering the surge and soothing him.

Chapter 11

Bankruptcy! No, wait...

Pinkie shows up in the aftermath to drop off Scott's luggage, while Dash is good and mad, wanting to find out why she cant remember what happened to her in the basement.

Since the next set of tests are in the hospital, Dash challenges Scott to a race, loser tells an embarrasing secret, or what happened in the basement.

Rainbow Dash takes it easy on Scott without making it look like it, following Rarity's advice on getting stallions. To her horror, the stallion passes out near the hospital. When he wakes up after a daymare, an embarrased Rainbow tells him it was a tie and to forget the bet.

Meanwhile, the Princesses recieve the magic level results and agree he must be schooled in Canterlot for public safety...

Back at the hospital, it is revealed Scott needs immunization shots. Fortunately, Twilight prevents his escape...

The now-rumpsore stallion finishes out the hospital tests, and he and Twilight are treated to lunch by Rarity. The issue of his lodging comes up and Rarity is agahast at the plan to let him stay in the Library, insisting he stay at the Prancing Pony Inn instead.

Twilight and Scott finally start to realize the town is already trying to ship them... Rarity may have a few ideas of her own though.

Chapter 12

Lyra and Bon-Bon have a surprise for Scott, Lyra was a human 11 years before, and her father now runs the Airship yards supplying the Royal Canterlot Air Fleet.

Bon-Bon had helped Lyra deal with bullies by introducing her to a martial arts teacher for Unicorns, and offer the same teacher to him to teach him control.

Relieved, Scott heads to the spa to take care of muscle injuries from his earlier run and to learn how to take care of his new body from the horse's perspective.

Chapter 13

Rarity's natural environment!
Aloe and Lotus go out of their way to make sure a Canterlot-Bred Unicorn like him will become a repeat customer. The masseuse, Miss Quake surprises everypony by using Earthpony Magic to break loose years of repressed tension, still there even after his transformation.
First Cameo, Starshine Dash appears, getting her attention while he is being given his grooming lessons. She will follow him back to the Library for questioning in Chapter 14...

Work has finally started slowing back down. just keep poking me everyone. ^_^

My heart wrenches, seeing this in a similar, getting hit with memories of this, as a brony who began his journey in 2012, stories like this that i read in my first steps, my confusing and frightening first steps in a fandom so strange to me, content like this story were some of the earliest works of the fandom I had the privilege to delve into, I miss those days where everything was new to me, where every path was a path I took with indescribable feelings I can't even begin to analyse. But, now I sit here reminded that some things don't stay with you the whole journey. Seeing this story again, incomplete, is a saddening reminder of this fact. To further kick my feels while vulnerable, there is a story in the similar column for this story, with a similar place in my heart. It seems the sentimental feels of a nostalgic brony can't get a break today.
