The last thing Joseph could remember was that car crash. Now, he has awoken in a strange village, where his memories are blurred. He remembers that he had friends and he liked to play instruments and his education, but he just can't remember who he truly is, who his friends are, who is family is, and most of all, where he came from. Where was home? He befriends six colorful teenagers in the village, and enrolls into the public high school that they attend. He wants to find home, but he realizes that maybe the chance to make a new identity is just what he needed.

This story was inspired by an image I saw while looking for Rarity backgrounds, which made me discover the upcoming MLP Visual Novel, Starswirl Academy. I was already writing a story about ponies in high school, Trying Love, but my co-writer and I have been going through many disagreements with our personal life, and there's times where I have to wait for chapters from her and can't write. Also, Breaking Boundaries is still going, but sometimes a bit of deviation is a good thing so the story doesn't become forced.

This story is much more loosely related to ponies than Breaking Boundaries. The ponies are humanized and given actual names. The main character is somewhat of a self-insert. When planning this story, I had intended to use my original name, but decided that it would be too self-inserty for the readers, which would turn them away from the story. However, this character is heavily based off of my own personal experiences, thoughts, and desires. Not all of the actions that Joseph will perform are based off of my own life, but many things will be based off of true experiences. This, for me, can produce a sort of ventilation, as I too (as well as many people in this world) have a desire to maybe escape from reality and rebuild ourselves in a new land.

*SPOILERS*

For reference, if it's not clear, this story is being written AFTER the experience, so it's in past tense first person. Joseph remembers most of his life, except everything that could tie back to his home (ie. Friend's names, school name, family, etc), and the fact that he was into a show called My Little Pony (aka. He's unaware that he's living in a humanized recreation of the pony world.)

This is kind of a CDFA x Applejack fic. Not really, but Applejack does play a heavy role in this story. This stems from a dream that I had after having the fanfic in my mind, that I'd surely love to develop into a written work. I'll do my best not to make it so, though.

This IS inspired by a visual novel, so aspects of the story might be similar to visual novels that I've seen/played. I might write multiple paths in the future, but for right now, you can consider this the "Applejack Path"
