Kingdom Hearts: Keys of Equestria

Chapter XVI: The Very First Time

Perspective: Sora

"I can`t believe it.

I really flew. Wait till I tell Kairi."

I had gotten used to walking on four legs pretty quickly, since this was almost like a larger version of my lion form. I decided to try out something that I had all but forgotten about.

My wings.

I wasnt even sure how to move them, but they felt almost like another pair of arms, so I decided it couldnt hurt to try. I flexed, & my wings moved away from my sides. It felt like I was giving a part of my body a long needed stretch. I began to move them up & down at a moderate speed, & without even thinking, I was hovering about three feet above the ground.

I was flying! I had flown before in Neverland, but its a lot different when its a part of your body doing the flying.

I tilted my body forward & began flapping at a much higher speed, flying towards Lyras house. I wasnt exactly comfortable calling it my house, since Lyra & Bonbon were the ones paying the rent. I still didnt like that they were doing everything, & Riku & I hadnt even been able to get jobs yet. I had tried before, but could never find the one job that worked. I had tried helping Pinkie Pie at Sugarcube Corner, but I was never a very good cook. Needless to say, that didnt work out well. Then I had tried assisting Fluttershy with her animals, & that ended with me in a bears mouth, Derpy stuck in a tree, & a dog running around with my Keyblade in its mouth. I wasn`t strong enough to buck apples, & my Keyblade always cut the trees in half, so Applejack was out of the question pretty quickly. I had tried helping Rarity on multiple occasions, but those always found a way to end in disaster. I never even knew that diamonds could catch on fire...

Then I realized that I had never done anything for Rainbow or Twilight. I couldn`t fly, so there was nothing I could do for Rainbow. Although, now I might be able to. Twilight never needed help with anything, since she had Spike & Owlowiscious. I arrived at the door, & entered.

Bonbon was sitting on the couch, reading a book as always, except this time, she had a look of pure fear on her face.

"W-who are you!? Why are you in my house!?"

"Bonbon, calm down! It`s me, Sora! Twilight used her magic to turn me into a pony."

"I don`t believe you. Tell me something only Sora would know."

"You have a crush on Caramel, but you know itll never happen, since he isnt into mares."

"It is you, Sora. Sorry about that. Why did Twilight turn you into a pony in the first place? Did you ask her to?"

"Well, not exactly..."

I told Bonbon everything that had happened before & at the Running, from when I first noticed that Lyra felt the way she did, all the way up until right now.

"So... you thought that Lyra was in love with you, & you were pretty sure that you felt the same, but you felt weird about it since you werent a pony, so Twilight turned you into an alicorn so that you could date Lyra without any problems, then you got a new Keyblade, & now youre here?"

At that point, I began wondering if Bonbon was related to Pinkie Pie or not.

"Uhh... yeah, that`s... exactly what happened."

"Did you ever think about how you were going to explain this to Riku? I mean, I dont think hell take too kindly to the thought of his best friend dating a unicorn, especially right after you found out that your girlfriend back home is dead."

"Ill figure something out. Just try to make sure that he doesnt find out until I come up with an explanation, please?"

"Sure. I`ll try my best."

"Thanks a lot, Bonbon."
