Drew was a simple man. He had a house; he tried to impress women; and he worked a thankless job at a local college's help desk. He was content in his life (not really), but had settled into the daily routine. That all changes one night when he stumbled upon a boy in a dragon costume. Who is this strange boy with green hair that believes in magic, talking horses, and that dragons exist (and he is one)?
What do you get when a disenfranchised Help Desk manager in his late 20's suddenly finds himself having to take care of an 11-12 year old boy that swears he's a dragon? Join us and find out.

Readers Please let me know if you find any of the following issue so that I can fix them.
- typos
- inconsistencies with characterization
- inconsistencies with the writing style.
Not sure if legit pony/dragon humanized story,
Or not so cleverly disguised Ponyfall story...
Hmm... Looks worth tracking. I'd like to see where you go with this.
Thanks all for the comments.
@Blue Blaze - While the number of Ponyfall stories that entered the featured list recently did give me the initial inspiration for this, this is by no means related to it. The story and myself are completely unaffiliated with the Ponyfall group and their collaboration project.
You do not know how glad i am to see a story were the human protagonist, upon finding a newly transfigured pony/griffon/princess/dragon, does the sensible thing and calls the police. I am intrigued as to were this story will go. Keep up the good work.
Hmm... Me Gusta. Have a moustache:
OMG yes a spike story. he almost never gets no love. you sir are a good man.
Old lady social workers: Ruthless, or most ruthless?
very good please continue
please make more
@Valientfan25 - Updates delayed by the release of the Burning Hells. Please take up any complaints with Diablo. Know that I am working on them though.
Well, we finally have this chapter. Hopefully the next one won't take so long.
THat is a very interesting conversation to have with ones mother. At least the grandchild conundrum wont be coming up in the near future.
Ha ha, the mom's reaction.
Glad to see that this is continuing.
maybe spike will watch my little pony while watching tv
Great story, can't wait for the next chapter.
This is interesting... I wonder if he can still send things.
Awesome! Now the question is, can he reply?
Better question, if Spike DOES manage to get home, what happens to Our Hero? "Well you see, Social Workers, I had this child legally under my care but he, uh... went home. Yeah, that's the ticket. By the way, don't try digging in the flower bed behind my house. No reason why; just putting that out there."
Wonderful read as always. I did enjoy the way you made a Human version of Cheerilee's class. Though, I do wonder why Spike has not picked up on it. Or does he choose to remain ignorant of this fact given his situation? Also if such parallels exist, what is Drew Hall's Pony in Equestria?
I agree with this guy ^
Thanks for the response. I tried to keep them as parallel as possible, but still bring them about as their own people. We'll see more of them all in future chapters . The thing with bridging into a parallel universes is that the multi-verse likes to keep things consistent. In the case of Universe Alpha (Earth), the dominant sentient species is mankind, thus you come to Universe Alpha, you become a human and have a human counterpart. Now take Universe Beta (Equestria), here there are dragons, ponies, griffons, diamond dogs, buffalo, zebra, etc as the sentient species. Get sent to Universe Beta? You can end up as any one of them. As for the Equestrian counterpart for Drew Hall, who's to say its a pony?
When is the new chapter coming, I thought it would be out by now?
1691859 I had planned on getting it done over the long weekend, but the stress of the holiday combined with a 9 hour drive each way to relatives and back wiped me out. It'll come sooner rather than later though.
I know its been a while since the last chapter. A very long while. My apologies. Life, writers block, and work have conspired to keep my attention elsewhere. But that said, enjoy the new chapter.
Oh... dear. That would be freaky as all hell with Pinkie-in-the-mirror.
And since I too started having the feeling that some of the characters were pony equivalents I've been wracking my brains trying unsuccessfully to figure out if Drew is one, and if so, of whom.
I will love that scene with pinkie pie...FOREVER
Well now, didn't expect to hear from this again.
You’re alive! I’m glad to see this chapter update, I never expected anything to come of it again.
I’ll have to re-read the earlier chapters to make sure I remember what this fic is about, it’s honestly been that long.

Thanks. To be honest, I didn't expect to add chapters to this again, but I finally had an idea of where to take it since EQG kind of messed with the whole "turned human" concept I started with. The earlier chapters are due for some rework to recenter the timeline somewhat. Its been to long since I actively worked on it and recent developments allow for a better flow.
