You are suddenly summoned to the wonderful world of equestria to take part in a study about humans. But will your fate be sealed within Equestria forever when Vinyl Scratch, your favorite pony, becomes "interested" in you?
MY FUCKING FEELS. Damn bro. I thought he would decide to stay, but when the door was beginning to form, I doubted myself, and started to plan on ordering you to write a sequel.
My... my god. I... was wondering how it would play out if he changed his mind. The decision seemed to serious to change then... *Slowly starts sobbing with tears running down face* then he let go of the handle
My Feels. they just got blown to bits. . . *represses a weak sob* please enlighten us in your sequel, when you release it. it inspires us to continue on in our daily lives.
Oopsy -- you were supposed to be a pony before the window closed. Now, there could be repercussions from that. Of course this could mean you get to stay human in equestria.
*tearing up* It's so romantic and beautiful. The end of the chapter was perfect. Yah yah. It's nice and all, but there is no need to cry over it. I mean, are you going to finish your origin chapter yet? You need to stop stalling Sonic and finish it. Quiet Vinyl, can't you see he is having trouble with writers block. Your doing the same thing with your music. Thanks Octavia. I'll get back to writing soon.
3651460 it's not the end. He's making book two. Also, my concerns:
1) will they let him stay human for a while? Because he was pretty badass with his unsurpassed strength.
2) once the time comes (or if they refused to let him stay human for a while), which type of pony will he choose? He'd probably choose Earth Pony so he'll still be strong, and so he can help Applejack on the farm. Or maybe, he'd pick Unicorn because of Vinyl, because he can pick up weapons, and because he can learn how to use spells. I don't really see him as a Pegasus unless he wanted to make Derpy feel better, or unless he really wanted to fly fast.
3) what's he gonna look like when he makes the transformation? Everyone's gotta be curious about this. I mean, his description of ponies was definitely well done, so he can describe who Alex will be. Perhaps canadianbrony91 can make a new cover art that has Vinyl and the transformed human (or pony, whatever).
4) will he have a cutie mark? Every pony in Equestria who knows their talent has one, but he might not know what he does best. Or maybe he does know. Nobody knows except (eventually) the author.
3650327 Magnificent Bastard, or MB, is actually an evil entity that became a third quantum castaway. So please, never use Magnificent and Bastard together.
3651777 1.) Can't really say yet 2+3.) I got a great commission from Rasp from tumblr for the cover art for the next book, it'll have Alex as a pony in it so you'll get to see 4.) Again, can't really say yet
... Fuck. okay the chapter was a feel good chapter.
as much as I like this story, the only thing I will not like is the part of turning into a pony. I hope you do not mind if I share my thoughts on why a human turning into a pony is a bad thing
Looking at this logically, in order to become a pony your human self would have to die. Same for your personality, soul, and everything you stood for. you would have to change your genetic code and anatomy all together. as science states living organisms cannot change their genetic code or DNA.
in addition to that another pony body would have to be pre-made in order to exchange the soul. If some how you get all this done there would be the matter of memories... since your human self is dead, everything about that form of you is. you would wake up asking "who are you?" and "who am I?" then you would make an entirely new life for yourself. More than likely never once doing something your human self would have done.
Okay, bit of a hole in your headcanon. You have several ponies throwing themselves at Alex, bit he's only got eyes for vinyl. He brushed off being seduced by Twilight, and didn't seem concerned that Luna probably opened herself only to him since she returned from exile, or his secret admirer too.
So how does pony relations and sexuality work in your Equestria? Do they firm herds with several mates to one male? Can there be more than one somepony for each of them? Is Luna already in love with him and didn't want Alex to leave? Was the seduction by Twilight s bit abrupt, over and done with while adding little to the story? (I believe so )
it's your head Canon of course, and I hope your sequel covers that. Still find it weird that Twilight isn't openly lusting after Alex, like her annoyed look with Rarity. Makes the alcohol just a cheap excuse for seducing him when it's been on her mind since the train.
3663852 maybe so but even magic has its limits. All those factors play in to the process. Magic has to have some connection between the one it is intended to work for or with. So really when you think about it it is not possible in any way with out killing the character.
They'll need to make a golem, much like a pony; texture, speed, height, and other attributes. After that, they can begin the transfer from one body to the other. All of his memories should be intact. And if it fails, that'll probably be the sequel: regaining memories, or starting fresh.
Epilogue is done but my editors are busy with christmas plans. So sorry I couldn't have it done for you by Christmas guys... I'll try my best to have it up for y'all tomorrow
It pained you to agree with her. Even if it was once a year, it would still be as if you never existed. How could you possibly explain to your parents? Or the few number of friends you had? Your life on planet Earth would be over and even though it was far from perfect, it was still your home. You envisioned yourself fifty years in the future in Equestria aching to go back home for a week, or even a month instead of just one day.
My first reaction: NOOOO Home is where the heart is faggit!!!! At the end of the chapter: Psshhh I knew he would decide to stay....
I know I'm late to the party, but I felt this was just a little bit rushed. Now first off I respect what you wrote, but I saw this going a little differently. Instead of him changing his mind I envisioned him strengthening his resolve at the very last moment and proceeding through the door, only to have his chest wound open up again as his body started to return to our realm, but the magic that healed him remained in equestria. At this point C or L had to end the spell lest he died effectively rendering him trapped in equestria. Again, I respect your work, I just saw this going in a different direction.
this is legit the first time that I have shed a tear while reading or watching something you just have away with words that I can't explain. the way you build up your story lines and characters is so amassing I guess it helps that I'm a bony as well. keep up the good work can't hold back on reading the next chapter any longer that it takes me to Wright this comment
Knew it.
And I'm glad I was right. Go Luna, you make a good conscience.
Nicely done.
MY FUCKING FEELS.
Damn bro. I thought he would decide to stay, but when the door was beginning to form, I doubted myself, and started to plan on ordering you to write a sequel.
3649222 I am writing a sequel silly butt
3649384
Also, DEM AVATARS.
......*slowly claps with tears running down face*.....the feels that i felt this night are the best i felt in my life....bravo sir...bravo
My... my god. I... was wondering how it would play out if he changed his mind. The decision seemed to serious to change then... *Slowly starts sobbing with tears running down face* then he let go of the handle
My Feels. they just got blown to bits. . . *represses a weak sob* please enlighten us in your sequel, when you release it. it inspires us to continue on in our daily lives.
3650112 Don't worry, saddened moods will be lifted soon
I believe the saying is you could hear a pin drop.
I spot a stray f.
Amazing story, cant wait to see what comes next.
Admittedly the "I AM home" Shtick is a bit over-used,But honestly,This story is good enough that ill let it slide
OMC!!! This Chapter gave me more feels than My Little Dashie! And that's saying Something! Well done You Magnificent Bastard!
OMG. When he was leaving it made me cry. When he decided to stay I was like Hell Yaaaaaaaaa Alex! Best chapter everrrrrrrrrrrr!
Oopsy -- you were supposed to be a pony before the window closed. Now, there could be repercussions from that. Of course this could mean you get to stay human in equestria.

was this the end or is there more chapters to come (also THE FEELSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3651784 Hmmm... Sorry 'bout that! I actually had no idea about That... Well, since I can't use that... Just well done!
3651964 Glorious Bastard seems more fitting. :3
3652045 Yeah it Does! Thanks for the correction!
3650184 Thanks for the correction, I'll be sure to fix that asap
3651777
1.) Can't really say yet
2+3.) I got a great commission from Rasp from tumblr for the cover art for the next book, it'll have Alex as a pony in it so you'll get to see
4.) Again, can't really say yet
Just for those confused about me not updating to "complete"
Its not complete yet
Still got an Epilogue
Well.
I'm not sure what to say.
I guess, "Eagerly awaiting more" will do.
I have a question about the parings. because he already has a few mares after him will he form a herd/harem or will he only stay with Vinyl ?
maybe if he becomes a unicorn he can learn a spell that allows him to switch between human and pony
3657346 The main relationship is with Vinyl and the main character, that's all i can say
i love this chapter
THE FEELS OH THE FEELS!!!! *sniff* excuse me for a moment guys need to get some tissues*walks away sobbing* you always no how to get to me man.
... Fuck. okay the chapter was a feel good chapter.
as much as I like this story, the only thing I will not like is the part of turning into a pony. I hope you do not mind if I share my thoughts on why a human turning into a pony is a bad thing

More than likely never once doing something your human self would have done.
see! isn't logic grand?
Oh before I forget, Great chapter.
3662063 IM SORRY I CAN'T HEAR YOUR LOGIC OVER ALL THESE WUBZdenver.mylittlefacewhen.com/media/f/img/mlfw935_51036%2B-%2Banimated%2Bartist-valcron%2Bfilly%2Bgif%2Bvinyl_scratch.gif

3662656 Don't worry, love affairs and triangles will blossom soon
3662063 here's logic for ya; HE'S IN EQUESTRIA! THEY USE MAGIC!
Logic enough?
3663852 maybe so but even magic has its limits. All those factors play in to the process. Magic has to have some connection between the one it is intended to work for or with. So really when you think about it it is not possible in any way with out killing the character.
3666421 here's some real logic:
They'll need to make a golem, much like a pony; texture, speed, height, and other attributes. After that, they can begin the transfer from one body to the other. All of his memories should be intact. And if it fails, that'll probably be the sequel: regaining memories, or starting fresh.
That logic comes from "Dash of Humanity 2".

3666449
I think y'all are thinking about this too hard Don't worry, the details of the transformation will be explained in the plot soon
3666845 I guess I do overthink stuff. Only stuff needed to transform is a pony body and magic, I guess.
Hey guys! Christmas preperations have gotten in the way of writing a bit, but I'll try my best to have the epilogue done by christmas
Epilogue is done but my editors are busy with christmas plans. So sorry I couldn't have it done for you by Christmas guys... I'll try my best to have it up for y'all tomorrow
3684280 so how will u set up the next story? Will it be part of this story, or will it be BOWTB 2?
3685421 It'll be a seperate story, but with a sequel link to this one
3685674 thanks!
My first reaction: NOOOO Home is where the heart is faggit!!!!

chuckle, sweet dude. amazing chapter

Holy crap! That was absolutely amazing, it was so good that is even made me shed a few tears at that. You sir should deserve an award!
