The Mysterious Tale of the Man Who Didn't Do Much

Chapter 20: Come Get It!

The rest of the day was spent waiting for my order of clothing, and when it finally came in, it was nearing dusk. As Rainbow, Twilight, and I got back to the house, Rainbow took off, reminding Twilight about that shower. Fuckin' sadist ponies. As she flew off, I shot her an, 'Oh ho-ho, you bitch' glance. She returned it with a... A troll face. I mean, not perfectly, but... wow! I admit, I laughed. It was now that I realized I had to pee. Badly. As casually as a three-legged dog on crack, I walked down to the bathroom with my extra clothes that I was just now taking the time to look at.  They weren't half bad at all. In fact, they were casual, but stylish! No wonder she runs a fashion boutique. First time making human clothes, that mare sure knows how to improvise! Then again, I provided her with a magazine for reference. OH, yes, of course, I'm just delaying the inevitable. Allow me to tell you how the shower went...

It was fine. Just plain old fine. Wait, did you want details? You'd want me to explain how a guy like me washes himself. You make me sick. Unless, you didn't care. Oh. Okay, that's a lot better. Her shower is just about the size of a human shower in a cheap apartment. Ample room for ponies, a little small for humans. It's fine, though. As long as I could rid myself of the smell of sweat.

I waited until after the shower to... Use the restroom, which proved to be a terrible idea. Warm water + Urge to pee = Oh sweet mother of God, help me through these times. They say you can pee in the shower, but I only pee in my own. I'm not even on my own planet, so you already know that I wouldn't dare. The point is, everything was surprisingly fine. For about 5 seconds, I was worried, 'What if she uses bar soap? Aw, hell naw.' But she uses liquid soap and such. As I clothe myself again, I walk out and swear I'm sparkling. With all the soap she uses that could be where Twilight gets her name! *rimshot* Well, now it's dark, so I ask Twilight a question that's been on my mind for a while. That question is,

"Can you temporarily turn me into..." Get this...

"A pony?"

Crazy, right? I know, don't ask why, because I've yet to ask myself. It just seems like something that would be fun! I hope a  become a unicorn or pegasus! Or, best of both worlds, an alicorn! No offense to the Earth ponies, but, c'mon! Magicing and flying... ing. That would so awesome! Alright, so her reaction is that of shock and intrigue. "Hmm, you want to be a pony? How interesting. I have a spell that transforms sapient life from form A to B for around a week or so, but... I'm severely rusty."

"Do you need oil?" She just laughed my comment but reassured that she would try, which filled me with happiness. "Thanks a bunch, Twilight! I owe ya one! Could I be a unicorn or a pegasus? I was thinking I co-" She stopped me by magically holding my mouth shut, and I don't know if I've said this before, but magic is warm! It's nice and comforting. I thought it would be more sharp and cold but hey. Opposites attract. My thoughts attracted opposite facts! "Listen, Jackson, I can't choose what form you take. It's up to fate." I nodded in understanding and she released my mouth before asked another question, "Why do you suddenly want to become a pony? Even if only temporary?" Simple, I wanted to see what it was like to walk in the horseshoes of a pony. So I told her that. I said it seemed interesting, and no one I know has done it. She happily agreed and practically nose-dived into a pile of books that I guessed had something to do -somewhere- with transformation.

Meh, I guess I'll just relax for now and- "Found it!" Are you shitting me?

"Jeez, Twi'! You're good at that!"

"Heh... Thanks. Well... When do you plan on doing this?"

"Now... If possible."

"Oh... Okay... Stand over there, please." Twilight pointed with a hoof over to the center of the library, so I walked there and stood. "Alright, take a seat." I sat and watched her horn glow until everything became white. I don't know how long I was out, nor do I care. All I know was I was out for a while, because when I woke up, it was light out! "Whoa, um... Twilight?" I looked around and caught a glimpse of gray-red hair, "Whoa, who's here, Twilight?" I look behind me to try to catch the dark red maned perpetrator, only to have the mane shift away again. As my eyes came into focus, I saw that the mane was way to close to be another pony. It had to have been... The spell worked didn't it? Ha! Nice going, Twi'! Ya' knocked me right out! Oh my God, won't Dash flip? Let's see, here- augh! I turned around and the light from the sun hit my eyes. This time around, it stung, so I raised my arm to block the rays, only to find an even darker gray hoof and the end! Oh my God! It did work! Hahaha! This was insane!

*thud*

In my haste, I rolled right off the... couch? Well, how nice of Twilight to put me on the couch. Either way, I was on the floor now. I rolled away so I could face the rest of the house slash library. I found not a single pony up and or about, but instead a note that read, "Hello Jackson! If you're reading this, it means you've managed to pick this up and read it. Either that, or you've fallen on your back right off the couch." I'm gonna tell her that I picked the note up if she ever asks me. Falling on my back is not a nice way to start things off. I climbed up onto all fours... rather easily... Suspicious. I slid a hoof under a crease in the paper and kept reading, "I've teleported to the top of the library. You'll have to come and get me if you want breakfast." Oh dear lord. How? "So make good use of those wings." Wait, wha-?" I turned my head to look back and holy snap crackle pop rice krispies, Batman! I have wings! I felt around my forehead for a certain protrusion, but to no avail. I was a pegasus!

I stumbled outside, quickly getting the hang of walking and trotting, which I assumed would take a while to learn but seemed to come as an instinct. Once I got far enough away from the library, I turned and looked up at  the roof. There was a hot plate of eggs and -what I guessed was- hay. I might like the eggs... But the hay? Not sure if want. Either way, I was starved. I was used to going for a while without food but I just turning into a completely different fuckin' being will do that to a guy. Erm... Stallion. Twilight waved down at me with a smile. I swear she could hear my stomach growl, which don't get me wrong, is weird. Still I was amazing at her spunk when she said, "Hungry? Come get it!"
