A human from Earth is invited through a portal to Equestria. But nothing is as it seems and he soon finds himself surrounded by more questions than answers. Can he survive long enough to learn how to fly, and, what will it cost him to do so?

Simon Carbuncle Baker is a failure, practically a college dropout who does not appreciate his family nor his education and definately not the world around him. Can he find the magic of friendship and, more importantly, can it help him sort out his problems?

I know "human in Equestria" has been done to death but I hope I can do it right. Part of this is my own "lets explore Equestria" as well as trying to explore (my version) of a few things that never really got explored. Be warned, this is "post season 3" so there IS an alicorn Twlight in this. That said, most (like, at least 90%) of my characters are going to be original characters.
