From Dusk Til... Ponies?

***From Dusk Til...Ponies?

Chapter 3:***

A Day in Green

“You’re a-a pony!?” sea asked.

“Ya for now.”

“But how?”

“I have no idea.”

“Couldn’t you have told me through chat?”

“Try typing with hooves.”

“Right, sorry.”

“Mhm. So, are you sure you want to come to New York?”

“Yes. It’s a chance to get away from the ‘rentals.”

Sea is about 5’5” with chin length brown hair, rather thin, and blue-green eyes.

“Cool. You remember Jacob right?”

“Yes, why?”

“He’s the one driving. Justin Oswald is coming too. For obvious reasons.”

“Anyway. So how long will it be until we leave?”

“Tomorrow. We bought everything already.”

“I brought my computer if that helps.”

“I did too. I still need to get on Tynon and explain why I’ll be gone at times. I hope Erin doesn’t kick me from the guild.”

“So off we go then?”

“Yup.”

Sea and I stepped out of McDonalds and headed for C of O. I led Envy to Jacob’s room and knocked on the door. A second or so later Jacob opened the door.

“Oh hey. Come in.”

“Hi Jacob. It’s me. Envy.”

“Oh yeah. Nice to see you again.”

--*8:30p.m---Several Hours of Gaming Later---

I had logged into Tynon and just in the past couple of hours boosted my power by 230,000 or so. I turned off Tynon and looked at Envy, Jacob, and Justin.

“Ha! I took out your partner!” said Envy.

“Again? yelped Justin. He was just sitting by them, watching. Can’t use a hand-held controller very well with hooves no can you? Jacob turned to Envy.

“I still have myself!” he shouted. I sighed and headed for the kitchen. I lifted myself to where I could see where the apples were. I pulled myself up onto the counter using cabinet handles as hoof-holds and grabbed the apple bag with my teeth. After that I turned to the edge of the counter and unfurled my wings.

“I hof vis wors,” I said through the bag. I jumped. I glided for a second and bang! I flipped over a chair and crashed into the cabinet knocking out several pots and pans. I clambered out from underneath it all. I walked into the living room.

“Hey can I get some help?” I said.

“Huh? With what?” asked Jacob.

“This,” I pointed my hooves at the pans all over me.

“Oh. Yeah. Just. Um. Give me a minute,” said Jacob.

“Nevermind. Justin?” I turned to him.

“I really shouldn't. I haven’t really used magic yet. At least not good.”

“Just try. Imagine the pans lifting off me.”

“I guess I can try.” He focused and his face turned blue.

“Not so hard. I don’t want to clean up pony plastered on the walls.”

After some dozen tries he succeeded..

“See?” I said to him.

“Never. Ever. Do that again.”

“Um. okay?”

I turned to the clock. 10:30 pm. That’s just ridiculous.

“Hey guys?”

“Hmm?” said Jacob.

“I’m gonna hit the hay.” Pardon the pun.

I turned and headed for the beds that had been laid out while I was gone. They were more air mattresses than anything. I laid down and just before I fell asleep I thought “What could have brought upon this ponification?” But then before I could think any further I felt myself relax into sleep.

I looked around the strange place I found myself in. It was filled with swirls of purple, blue, and black. All of those mixing to form a very interesting color which covered the “walls” and “floor” of the space.

“You know ever since I got in here your mind hasn’t changed.” came a female voice.

“What?” I turned around. “You’re me? Or the body I’m in. Or something like that.”

“In a way I am you. But I am not you,” she said.

“Why a riddle?”

“Ask yourself that.”

“Oh right. My mind and all.”

“Not entirely.”

“What?”

“Again. I came here. Don’t know why but I did.”

“So you’re a figment of my imagination? I mean it could be but they never come out like this.”

“You mean the other people you create?”

“Well. Yes.”

“I’m not one of them.”

“But you’re in my mind.”

“So?”

“Whatever. What are you doing here?”

“Before this conversation I was waiting to talk to you.”

“Oh. What for?”

“Who are you?”

“What?”

“Your mind is too weird for me to do anything. Like seriously.”

“I know. It’s on purpose. You just need to know the keys.”

I waved my hand in front of one of the walls and a walkway appeared. I started to walk down it and turned to the pony.

“You coming?”

“Um yeah.”

“You hesitated.”

“No I didn’t.”

“Yes you did. Tell me why.”

“It was kinda hard to see you earlier. Now that I can see you, you look like a cat with wings.”

“A cat. With wings?”

“Ya. A large black cat.”

“Ok. We don’t need to do this right now.”

“Yeah. Right.”

We turned back to walking down the hall. The hall itself was different. It had elegant white pillars with marble arches and beautiful chandeliers. Every fourth pillar there lay a door. It usually had a gold edging with white wood. After a time of walking we came to an abnormality. It was a door unlike the rest in the fact it had a dark blue edging with a slightly lighter blue wood to it. After we opened the door we found a glowing orb. I picked it up and fiddle around with it but nothing seemed to happen. After it failed to do anything for me I lay it in front of the pony. She nudged it.

“It’s a dud.” she said.

After that the orb suddenly flashed and rolled out the door. Both the pony and I ran after it. We managed to corner it and pick it up.

“What is it?”

“I haven’t a clue.”

“Excuse me! I am right here you know,” came a voice from the orb.

“Huh!?” We jumped.

“Me. The sphere right here. The name’s Thith.”

“Thith?” I asked, confused.

“What?”

“Um. Do you remember me?”

“Of course. You are my creator after all.”

“What do you mean?”

“I hold all your textbook knowledge.”

“Oh right. Thith. Now I remember.”

“Lord?”

“Yes Thith?”

“You are going to wake up soon.”

“Rea-”

---7:00 am--- Day Four ----

I opened my eyes. Very spot on. I looked around to find Justin. He was on the floor with a pillow in his mouth. I kicked him.

“Gif up,” I said to the best of my abilities.

Wait. My voice. I lifted my hooves up to my mouth and felt a pillow which I proceeded to yank out. As soon as it came out there was a loud pop that resonated throughout the room. I then looked down and realized I had popped the air mattress which ,of course, not being mine, I would likely have to pay for. What a way to start the day.

“Ugh,” moaned Justin.

“DUDE. GET YOUR FAT FLANK UP!”

“Fine,” he grumbled.

“Good. Now I’m going to go get Jacob and Envy up.”

I walked to Jacob’s door and slammed my hoof on the door.

“I’M UP!” came Jacob’s voice.

“Alright.”

I turned around and heard the shower turn on.

“Envy?”

“I’m in here!” came seas voice from the bathroom.

“Alright!”

I walked into kitchen and found Justin asleep on the floor. I turned on the faucet, grabbed the sprayer with my mouth and aimed it him.

“I warned you.” I proceeded to spray Justin all over with the ice-cold water.

Justin yelped and shot up.

“Dude. Seriously?”

“I told you. Now come on. We’re leaving at 9.”

“Ugh. What time is it?”

“It’s 7:14 am.”

“So we have time for breakfast?”

“Yes.”

He climbed onto the counter and pulled down the bowl of fruit. Then I heard a door open and out walked Jacob.

“So what’s for breakfast?”

“Depends. Justin and I are having fruit.”

“Ah. I’ll have an orange for now.”

He grabbed an orange from the bowl. I turned to eat an apple when a scream pierced my ears. I turned around.

“Did you guys do that?”

“Nope,” they said in unison.

“Then- Envy,” I gasped.

I galloped to the bathroom and rapped on the door.

“Envy?” I called out.

“Yes,” squeaked out a voice from behind the door.

“Are you okay in there?”

“Yes. Fine.”

“Can I come in?”

“I’d let you in but I can’t really do that at the moment.”

“Well is the door unlocked?”

“I think so,” she said.

I proceeded to have Jacob open the door and walked in.

“Envy?” I called out.

“Over here,” came seas voice from behind the shower curtain.

“You okay?”

“Yup. Fine.”

“Are you sure?”

“Ya.”

“You wanna come out?”

“No.”

“Then I’m coming in.”

“Wait. Don’t-” I opened the shower curtain.

“You-You-I-I,” sea stuttered..

I’m not a perv. Honest. Actually if I hadn’t already suspected what had happened I wouldn’t have entered. See when I entered the bathroom I knew instantly that she had changed due to the fact that her silhouette wasn’t entirely visible. Envy had not only been turned into a pony but she had been turned into a little earth filly. And not just any filly judging from Icy’s reaction. This filly actually turned out to be Icy’s daughter. After I saw the little filly Icy took control and wrapped our hooves around her sobbing.

“Oh honey. I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean for you to be left behind.”

“Eh? What do you mean Josh?”

I felt Icy snap back.

“Don’t. Ask.”

“What?”

“Really awkward.”

I turned and went into the kitchen and sat down.

---*8:57am---Day Four---

        So I turned and headed out the door to the car. A moment later Jacob came out lugging all the bags and such. I poked my head out the window.

        “Hurry up!”

        “I am!”

        I turned back around and Envy sat in my lap. I looked down.

        “Hey. What cha’ doing?”

        “I wanna be able to see the road.”

        “Oh. Ok.”

        Justin sat in the front and Jacob was going to drive. I heard the trunk shut and jacob clambered into the front seat.

        “We ready to go?”

        “Ya,” I replied.

        We set off. Ready to join the people on their way to New York as well.
