[this is unfinished and probably never will be finished]
>You are Anon
>Recently you got your hands on some 'magic' bleach
>Get drunk as fuck one night
>Accidentally pour out bleach into glass
>realise what you just did
>Oh shit
>Collapse on the floor and die
>Wake up
>In Equestria
>That bleach really is magic
>No money
>No food
>No home
>You spend most of the day begging for money
>Oh boy, what a great way to start a new life
>You manage to gather a few bits before the end of the day
>The sun soon slips below the horizon
>You sleep on a park bench for the night
 
>Day 2 in Equestria
>The first thing you see is a pair of ponies in an official looking uniform
>They are both giving you a stern look
>"Sir, please come with us."
>You comply
>You are led into town hall
>You are greeted by a beige mare, who introduces herself as mayor of Ponyville
>Alongside her is a purple pony that looks half drunk
>The town has decided to give you a place to live until you can sustain yourself
>Probably because nopony can stand seeing you on the streets
>You will be living with the other pony
>She says her name is Berry Punch
>She takes you to her house
>The smell of cheap beer greets you as the front door opens and you walk into the corridor
>there's empty cans everywhere
>Just like your old home
 
>Rest of the day is uneventful
>You just sit around at the park watching the world go by
>Sun is going down
>You go back to your 'home'
>She isn't home
>It's only a 1 bedroom house
>You settle on sleeping on the sofa
>It's pretty uncomfortable, but you manage to fall asleep
>You wake up
>It's still dark outside
>You hear the door slam shut
>You can hear hoofsteps heading towards Berry's room
>You're sure you can hear her crying in there
>You brush it off and fall back asleep
 
>Day 3
>You wake up, and this time it's light outside
>Berry is making breakfast
>You ask if she was ok last night
>She tries to avoid the question
>She's definitely hiding something
>But now isn't the time to find out
>You need to start looking around for a job
>There's a cafe that has a sign advertising job vacancies
>Better than nothing
>You ask the staff about getting a job
>You are given a quick interview
>They must be desperate for someone to work there given how fast you were hired
>All you had to do was show them if you were any good at cooking
>Luckily, you are
>Because they're so short on staff, you start working
>At least you'll earn a few 'bits'
 
>Day is over
>You go home
>Berry isn't in
>You're just sitting around on your own, doing nothing
>You decide to go out somewhere
>Maybe Ponyville has some decent bars
>Eventually you find one, not too far away from where you live
>You spend some time there, buying a few drinks and just having fun
>Totally beats sitting around at home doing nothing
>You try to pick up a few mares, but fail miserably every time
>You see a familiar mare heading towards the bar
"Hey Berry!"
>"Oh hey Anon, didn't expect to see you here."
>She's definitely drunk
>"So what're you doing down here then?"
"Thought I'd go out somewhere tonight."
>You sit and chat for a while
>You don't want to get too drunk
>While you hold off on the drinks, Berry keeps buying more throughout the night
>You wonder where she gets the money to pay for it all
 
>Eventually you decide to call it a night
>"Seeya *hic* Anon"
>She arrives at home shortly after you
>"A-Anon?"
"Yes?"
>"D-do you *hic* like me?"
>This won't end well at all
"I-"
>"Of course you don't like me! I'm a fucking train wreck of a mare that spends half the day at home and the other half getting drunk! What is there to like about me?"
"Berry I-"
>"You what? Don't want to live here anymore? Don't want to see my fucking face again? I don't blame you, nopony wants to be around me, I'm just the town drunk that nopony likes! If you really want to leave, you can at any time you want."
>She looks down at the floor, with tears in her eyes
>"I'm such a terrible person..."
>You wrap an arm around her shoulder
>You didn't think about it, it just came naturally
"Berry, you're a great person, and a great friend."
>"No, I'm not. You're just trying to make me feel better."
"I'm not lying, I really mean it. You've been kind enough to let me live here after I arrived in Equestria. I'd be nowhere without you."
>"Even if you're here or not, I'd still be nowhere."
"You can be someone,  somewhere, you just don't try."
>"I DO try, and I fail every time! How often do YOU put your best effort into everything only to find it's never enough?"
"That's exactly how I got here."
>"What?"
 
"I never thought I could do anything with my life, I was just a miserable failure. I couldn't see any point in continuing. Every night I would get completely wasted to drown away my sorrows, which only came back worse each day. One night I must have got too drunk and done something..."
>"And you came here."
>You nod
