Before it ever was...

*twitch* "wh-what? Oww."

Prince's body felt like it had been put through a shredder. When he tried to lift his hoof, only a sharp pain greeted him. His wings were only thin pieces of parchment on his sides.

"Easy." Said a calming voice.

His eye-the only thing that still worked-looked up to see Celestia. Her horn was casting some sort of healing spell. Within a few moments, he started to feel better.

"What happened?" He sat up and saw that she seemed smaller. "What happened? Your all smaller and...stuff."

She raised her eyebrow. "Me? Look at yourself."

A mirror magicaly floated toward him. His face had streached to twice it's original size. Although he was still twig like, muscles peeked from underneath his skin. Celestia's face now only had to slightly droop now. He was still smaller than her, but would still be above Luna's hieght.

"So? It's just a painting of some... OH YOU! IT'S ME!"

He started to sway again. She caught him. "Don't worry. I talked to the zebra. She said that your body has been fighting her spell. What is interesting is that it takes a strong magic ability to resist this certain spell. We will have to test this later, but she also said not to over exert yourself. Any sort of extream stress will cause damadge to your new body."

"Test? What sort of test?"

"Just a simple magic evaluation. Nothing to worry about, but that can wait. First, we need to get ready for the Winter Wrap-up!"

"The what?"

*sigh*

...

In the park, Stargazer looked up to the heavens. The stars seemed so preety and bright tonight. Especialy the North star.

"Okay," He said "That's a little too bright." He covering his eyes. The night sky was getting brighter and brighter. A pure bright light soon enveloped him as he fainted. A jogger walked by in the dark. He noticed the electric blue Pegasus asleep on the bench.

"Get a job you bum." He muttered as he trotted off. The darkness of the night enveloped the nameless pony as he left.

...

Stargaze jumped into the abandoned house. Big Macintosh, Prince, and Rendan followed suit.

"D-did we lose them!?"

Big Macintosh checked. "Eyup."

"Why da Buck are they chasing us!?" Prince almost screamed.

Macintosh sighed. "You guys need to know something. Every spring, all of the m-"

He was interupted by the sound of breaking glass. They all ran for cover. He hid behind a dusty dresser. *clop clop clop*. The sound of a hoof on the old wooden floor got loader and loader. Then it stoped for a brief moment. He tried to squeze closer to the dresser, but only made a load shrill squak from the floorboards.

"No, no, no." He silently swore as the pony trotted to his direction.

...

Stargaze woke in a cold sweat. He just learned he had a gift. A gift that would probably save his life in the future.

"What...was that?"

"What was what?" Said a voice in a heavy accent

He turned to see the very same pony he had seen in his vision sitting next to him. The mechanical mess that was his wings hung by his side. His candycane mane hung to one side.

"R-rendan!"

"Do I know you?"

...

Prince was exhausted. He had been performing several spells for what seemed like hours. "Ho-how did I do?"

Celestia looked at his scores. "Well...average, and that is being nice about it."

"But I thought you said Alicorns were powerful in magic and stuff."

"Yes, this is very strange. Especially since..."

"What? Since what?"

"Nothing, I just thought..."

"*sigh* if your not going to tell me, fine. Just don't lie to my face." He said as he walked out of the room.

Celestia thought for a moment. "Wait! I'll get you something!"

Prince hesitated. "What kind of something?"

...

Stargaze watched as several spikes danced in the air. Every so often they would make a shape. "That is so cool. And you don't know where you got them?"

"Nope." Rendan said. "But for some reason I know these bracelets control it."

"Wish I had giant blades for wings."

"Maybe if we find out where they came from, you can get one to."

"Yeah! Hey, you wanna get something to eat?"

"Sure." Rendan re-inserted his wings. "What do you want?"

"Well, I know this place with some delicious sweets. The mare at the counter is cute, but a little crazy."

"Whatever." Rendan mumbled.

"Oh yeah. Your hoof over heels for-."

*smack!*

...

Prince looked at the one place he hoped he wouldn't see again. Sugarcube corner. "I thought you were going to get me a toy. Why would you think I would like to come back here?"

"I'm sorry. Do you want to stay outside?" Celestia asked.

"I guess... What are you getting anyway?"

"Its called a muffin. Its actually preety good."

"Sounds...interesting. I'll try it."

He watched as Celestia opened the door and went inside. He waited for a little, heard a large crashing sound, then the door was flung open. Standing in the doorway, with a bandage on her head, was Pinkie pie.

"Prince!" She darted toward him.

"Gaurds!" He screamed. Almost instantly, she had her face slammed into the ground by two pegasi.

"Get off me! I need to apologize to..." She finnaly noticed Prince's new body. "Prince?"

He only yawned. "What? You don't keep track of the ponies YOU TRY TO RAPE!?"

She cringed. "I-I'm sorry. Its just that-."

"That is enough!" Celestia was standing with a basket of, to Prince, looked like cupcakes. "You shall not speak of such things to him."

"Of what?"

Clestia turned to him and gave him a sweet smile. "Just something you don't need to know about." She turned to the pink mare. "Right?"

"Ummm. Yes. Nothing." She said. Were those tears? What the buck was going on?

"Well we should be going now. Prince, didn't you need to return some books to Twilight?"

"Y-yes?"

"Take these then. Meet me back here in, oh I don't know, an hour? I need to remind my little pony about something."

"Alright." He said as he took the basket in his teeth. He turned to leave, but looked back at Pinkie briefly. Something was wrong, and he was going to find out. As he neered the town, he used his magic to hide his horn. He didn't want to cause hysteria again. Infact... He unflurred his wings and took off. He took a muffin out of the basket. It seemed tasty. He took a bite.

"Oh...my...Celestia. This is fantastic"

"Muffin?" He noticed a pegasus flying close to him. One of her eyes was slightly crossed. She was eyeing (no pun intended) his treat.

"Do you want one?" He asked. She nodded. He gave her one and she greedily gulped it down. He gave her a smile. "Good huh?"

"Muffin!"

They landed at the library. He grabed a few muffins a gave them to her. "Well I gotta go. Maybe I'll see you later?"

She nodded and flew off. Prince walked into Twilight's house in a better mood than he was before.

(Yes I have a slight crush on Ditzy doo. *pulls out shotgun* You got a problem?)
