Curious about Five Score? Come check out the story that inspired dozens of side fics and been enjoyed by bronies for years!

Original Synopsis Even though MLP:FiM ended a few years ago, my friends and I still loved the show. Stories, merch, fan art, I loved it all. Things started to get a weird though when I found myself with a cutie mark appearing on my leg. Humans aren't supposed to get cutie marks, so where the heck did this come from? And what's going on with my hair?


More Detailed Synopsis: Five Score is an action/adventure story of the human-to-pony transformation genre. It’s unique from most transformation stories because the transformation itself is not really the point of the story. It’s the inciting incident that raises countless challenges that must be resolved. They are on earth, as a pony, and need to fix this before things get worse. Think about yourself in their hooves for a moment. How are you supposed to change back or even figure out what caused it in the first place? How are you supposed to get food or do anything on Earth without being spotted by humans? If you are spotted or captured, how would you escape? How does one even open a door with hooves!? Did anyone else on Earth get changed as well? How could you get the word out to the other ponies who are themselves hiding? Is it worth risking travel across the country to reach the others? Which of your friends would you trust to help you deal with this? And why did you turn into this particular pony? Surely it wasn’t random chance, right?

These challenges are the tip of the iceberg in this full length adventure novel There’s a lot of humor, many tense scenes, and hell maybe even a war.


But don’t just take it from me, Look what random people on the internet are saying about Five Score, Divided by Four

One of the best things to come out of this fandom.

Hey, alot can happen in an hour when your drunk.

Having the show end on a terrible point is a nice sight for setting up a after-brony apocalypse story, so that's good, and I'm mildly curious enough so to actually get me to stop skimming and begin reading.

Fine, let's see where this goes, not declaring horribad quite yet.

So everyone is slowly turning into ponies. Or just these two?

I see... It's some kind of after pony world, and now it's time for the former masters of the Earth to return, or maybe that's not the case at all? Did Discord get tired of torturing humans and just wants a quick blast to the past maybe?

Now I'm getting intrested. *Like*

"The horrible screaming means it's working!" -Patrick Starfish

*Insert lines that basically summarize to "Still intrested" here.*

Brace for impact. I havent seen a story skyrocket this fast in a looong time.

I've brought my popcorn... ready to see this no-name writer hit fame.

~Syn3rgy

Haha quite a fresh idea! Do keep writing :twilightsmile:

Hmm, a comedic take on the novel (meaning 'new', not the definition of a sizeable literary work) genre which began to be popularized by "Mary is a Mare", a serious take upon the consequences of transformation in the human world.

I believe I'll enjoy reading a humorous farce of the idea.

I shall analyze it with a critically vicious eye the entire time, naturally. :twilightsmile: :trollestia:

I'd like to inform you, that MLP:FiM Isn't ending, Yet! They are still working on the 4th Season and it may be coming soon!

...
...
interesting concept you have my attention:trixieshiftleft::trixieshiftright:

2367804 Achievement Get! Grab my fascination!
how about that?

It seems a lot of brand new users are getting featured lately...strange.

Interesting... lest see where this goes.

I like this story. Overall, it's a fairly original take on an unoriginal concept. You have me hooked.

Have no fear, I have several more chapters ready to be posted. I just have to finish final proofreading, expect another 3-4 chapters to be posted in the next 24 hours. Heh, I didn't expect to get featured right away, now I feel silly for not having more of my chapters ready at the get go :twilightsmile:

Things are about to get interesting :trixieshiftright:

You should of kept it mature dude! You're cutting so much out! (reading Google doc atm and loving it!)

You had me at 'transformation'. I'm reading this right now.

I've read alot of it so far in the uncensored version it's ...nice

But if it's mostly f/f then I'm gonna have to stop.

What does that mean is it bad?

Really enjoying this so far. :D

I call Twilight on the Library explosion, Fiona must be becoming Fluttershy (well, from the little we have seen her, she seemed to fit the role the second time) and Evan is probably becoming either Big Mac or Apple Bloom. Hmm, Apple Bloom could be funny :pinkiehappy:

I was reading the last chapter and right when I got done, the notification for this one popped up. :pinkiehappy:

Hahaha. This one looks awesome. Also...

Most of the episode passed without incident. I remember it all too well. It started out with Discord and Celestia allied together in an epic battle against a huge hellspawn from Tartarus. It’s a pretty amazing battle but then takes a strange turn in the middle of the fight. Celestia took a bad hit from the hellspawn and is lying down next to the edge of a cliff of this volcano. She cries out for help and Discord teleports over. Discord then kneels beside the defenseless Celestia and you can hear her cry out for help and explain she can’t move her legs. Just when you think Discord is going to save her, he instead laughs and kicks her limp body over the edge of the cliff. A million fans cried out in surprise and terror as they saw the Goddess give a blood curdling scream and fall into the lava below. Discord then laughs maniacally and explains to the camera that he played her for a fool this whole time, and he waited over a thousand years for this day.

...did S5 bring up the age level to frickin 16+ or something?

Following for now only for the 'mature' side of the story. PLEASE! PLEASE! Tell me there is more than 8 chapters of it! The cliffhanger... GAH!!!

Hehe, yea that scene is supposed to be unexpectedly, and unreasonably violent. I referenced it in the first chapter:

I had another one of those dreams about the MLP finale again.... ....I’ll never know how they managed to air an episode like that on a children’s network and not get sued by the FCC.

Remember when I said I was done toying with Jack? I lied. “Yep, that’s it, no other changes, just the ears. I admit, they are a bit strange, but I’m starting to grow fond of mine. Well if I ignore the fact that I have to wear a hood in public at all times now” I said, frowning at how I could never walk around in a t-shirt again.

Don't you talk bad about hoods! I wear hoods all the time!

did you have to make a clop video about shining :ajbemused:

DAMNIT! TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE READING THE GOOGLEDOCS!
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!

2369045
If you go to any of the normal chapters, at the top of them is a direct link to their specific GoogleDoc. I think those links should still work even if the meta page is full. Apologies, never expected this many readers at once 0_o

This is actually really cool.

Favorite for you sir.

Five score divided by 4 is 25.

2369036

Tell me there are more chapters of it! The cliffhanger... GAH!!!

The Google Doc is fully up to date with everything I have, that's all there is at the moment:twilightsheepish:
But I do write a chapter a week! And the next update is due tomorrow night.

(for people reading the story on FimFic, expect several updates within the next 24 hours because there are still 3 chapters I have to finish editing to post here)

Okay, this is brilliant. Have all my likes and favourites. Well, one of each. You know what I mean.

On another note, I hope this thing updates again soon. It is well on its way to my top 5 already.

2369061
Well, I'm on them now, but I was past the 'last time to buy' chapter, soo... yeah...

well, this is fun, but Anon is a stupid name.
Josh would be better (because it sounds a bit like Dash)

Oh, and. in the first chapter you refer to '25st' birthday, when the correct ordinal suffix is 'th': 25th.

Looking forward to where this goes...
(oh, and. I totally agree with you, 2368901. bookstore go boom = newly fledged mega magic user = :twilightsmile:)

Aaaaaand everpony's reading google docs.

...also how dare you say that this fandom will die!? We are as eternal as Celestias posterior! No flow of time shall wash away our ponies!

>this story featured
im not even supriced

2369263
Thanks for the typo notice. As for the name 'Anon' being silly. eh, yea I suppose it kind of is. I went with it since this was originally written just for /mlp/ and that seemed to be the standard for stories there. Josh would have certainly worked well though now that I think about it. Hehe, oh well, too late now:scootangel:

i bet evan is gonna turn in to big mac! :pinkiehappy:

For all of you who don't know Five Score, Divided by Four means 5*20/4=25

So far the Transform2Pony stories peg the MLP:FiM series to end between 5 and 8 seasons, when the characters know of the series. For all we know, it might go longer. Heck, it might even pull a Star Trek and spawn new MLP series after FiM is done.
MLP:The Next Generation
MLP:Deep Forest 9
MLP:Traveller

And since we let this stallion loose, lets see what other silliness we can find on the TV?
MLP:CSI (That would be sweet)
Ponyville General Hospital (daytime soap opera tripe)
Married With Foals
Doctor Hooves (--oh, wait, already done that one)

I'm sure you'all can come up with more. :pinkiehappy:

You must make moar.

:flutterrage:I DEMAND IT!!!!!

2369377
There's no such thing as too late! (also, just because everyone else does it, doesn't mean you should!)

You could totally buck tradition* and go into the original thread or whatever and say "Yo, I'm totally gonna give the protagonist a real name, because Anon isn't a name, it's a title." You could even make a game of it (person w/ best suggestion gets a cameo!), or have a poll or something.

To quote another author's interpretation of RD, Go and be "the best, most awesome you that you can be." :rainbowdetermined2:
(Harmony Theory, Chapter 13, near the end. Ctrl+F for 'awesome')

* to 'buck tradition' is to not follow it. this is not a pony euphemism, it's been part of the English language longer than Hasbro's had equine toys.


ETA: I agree with everything said by 2369776 in his point #4.

Having said that, unlike him, I still have some interest in shipping. Personally, I find the idea that AJ and RD are bi to be annoying at best, since usually RD is only bi because someone associated rainbows with Gay Pride, and AJ is usually only bi so that the two can be shipped. Neither one shows any sign of interest in, well, really anypony, in canon. FWIW, I personally ship Dash with Big Mac, and AJ with Soarin'.

Alright so I've read this and I've read ahead. Thoughts:

1: This is the most disturbing story I have ever read that I do not find upsetting in some way, so fantastic job there.
2: There are a few typos and misspellings, but not severe, although getting a proofreader or editor would help.
3: The one pet peeve I have is that you, like many, massively misuse the term "flank". The flank is the section of a horse's side between their ribcage and hind leg. The human equivalent would be the waist. The cutie marks are NOT on the pony's flank, they are on the pony's hip and thigh.
4: Spoilers from chapters on GDocs: The self attraction and bisexuality I can completely get, but what I do mind is the presumption of AppleDash. Not that I really mind the ship that much anymore, since I stopped caring about shipping in general, but just because 2 ponies are bi doesn't mean they should screw, and since there was no preexisting feelings between Anon and Jack, I can only assume the feelings came form RD and AJ, which assumes they had a relationship in canon, which I find annoying.
