Five Score And One For The Road

by hyreia
An alcoholic gives up on his 25th birthday and turns into a pony. Now she's just trying to get home.

Hi, my name is Berry Punch and I am an alcoholic. For a long time though, my name was Brian and I was a human. That changed after my 25th birthday. It was a hard time. If it wasn't for my friends and the most amazing little filly I would be dead.

Side fic to Five Score, Divided by Four by TwistedSpectrum and a love-letter to many, many other fics in the Five Score Multipled By More universe whose paths are crossed. NO other story is required reading in order to understand what is going on in this one. Now with proofreading, input and corrections by The One Who Gleams and Alsey! ...and TwistedSpectrum helped a little too!

Rated M for excessive alcohol consumption, cigarettes, a bit of weed, swearing, talks of suicide, 'prostitution' and earth pony strength.

But don't worry, that's not what this story is about. This story is about hope, family and going home.
