To become a pony

"What is your name?"

"C-Connor"

I looked around, confused at the manner and the disembodied voice all to notice that I was in some form of plain that was all white, like I was trapped in a empty room.

"That is not a suitable name for where you are going. Think of an inner name"

"Inner name? ... Disk I guess"

"Now then, pick of the three. Strength, flight or magic"

"Magic?" I was strongish in the real world but I was also scared of heights, well just generally being up high. but magic did seem nice to me.

"Good, now what is the meaning behind your inner name?"

"Music I guess ..."

Suddenly a strange force overcame me as I blacked out. The next thing I knew, I woke up to see several familiar figures near me. From confusion I just stared blankly at one of them who looked back.

“Who or what are you?” Asked the strange coloured creature in front of me, it looked similar. Like one of the ponies I’ve seen my friend create before.

“Who am I? W-who are you?” My brain was in the ultimate form of confusion.

“I’m Ti..” “I’m Tiedye” At this point I was either dreaming or my friends character had come to life in front of me. Well the creature was a pony, a Pegasus judging by the large wings but didn’t he just nearly say he was Tim? But it can’t be him, I mean he’s certainly not a po-

“HOLY FUCKIDY FUCK FUCK” My thoughts were suddenly interrupted as another character jumped up, this time a black pony with neon red stripes, no mane strange enough but the wings were certainly standing out for a Pegasus. Confusion shook my body as two other ponies stood up. Another similar one who stood there with purple fur, a unicorn horn and brown hair. Certainly that wasn’t Umbra was it? It certainly looked like him anyway.

Stood next to the purple pony was a grey one with red hair that stood out compared to the rest of it’s body and a wrench as a cutiemark. Someone even I haven't seen before and I’m a big fan of the background ponies, unless this is another new character.

“If you’re Tiedye, and I think the purple one over there is Umbra. Then that means I must be … Disk?” Yet again, confusion shook me causing me to blank out at the sight of the others stood there. Apart from the one pony who fell as if he was trying to stand like a human while the others were talking to each other, but it sounded muffled as I was seriously confused.

Then a sudden thought hit my brain. What about me, did I transform? I look down to then notice my body had been transformed and I was automatically stood like a pony, my arms there now legs and my hands as hooves. I groaned and walked over to a near by puddle to see that I had been changed into a red unicorn with green hair accompanied by orange stripes and the same for my tail. I turned to the side to see that I also had a cutie mark, a Disk with an orange circle. It was correct, I turned into Disk, my own creation. How did this happen? How did the voice know who Disk was? Why is my brain hurting so much?

After a few hours of debating with the others. It turns out my friends were transformed as well. Tim took the form of his Pegasi OC Tiedye, one that I recognised well as well as a unicorn version of Umbra which obviously to me was Liam, then there were the other two. Devon had turned into the Pegasi Noire and Jake had turned into the earth pony Speedwrench.

After a while of discussing some more we had all come to a mutual agreement that we should all split up to try and find information about how we got here and why. As they say too many cooks spoil the dish and if we all went to one place together we might cause mass confusion at the fact that five entirely new ponies have appeared out of nowhere and suddenly swarmed a single house. I had decided to have a look around the town to find some pony that would allow me to stay, probably some pony that isn’t one of the mane six, hopefully Vinyl Scratch seeing as Umbra/Liam had chosen to go to sugar cube corner, Speedwrench/Jake had chosen to go and see Applejack at the farm, Noire/Devon had chosen to go and see RainbowDash and Tiedye/Tim had just sat there on the grass, not sure of where he was going.

After a while of strolling around town, I somehow managed to get past Sugar cube corner before Umbra had managed to get near as I saw him in the distance but not long of a walk later I heard some kind of music that sounded as if it was being remixed into a tune and decided to follow it, finding myself at a house with what looked like a Vinyl disc on the front door. If my guess is as good as any I would say that house belonged to Vinyl scratch, if not then some pony out there enjoyed music as much as both me and Vinyl.

I decided to take the jump and I knocked on the door with my hoof, a few minutes passed and the music still blared out. “Guess she can’t hear me” I knocked again, this time with all my might, if she can’t hear this then I don- My trail of thought suddenly interrupted as the door bursts open, followed by a loud blast of music as a white pony walked though the door, she looked a lot like myself as Disk but with blue hair and I couldn’t see her eyes due to the large sunglasses she wore, at a quick glance I also saw a musical note as a cutie mark. For a few seconds she just stared in confusion as if she was seeing herself in a mirror.

“Woah, have I been inside for too long and forgot what I look like? And which pony put a mirror in front of my door as a prank?” She said as I was now obvious of the confusion in her voice.

“E-erm actually I-I’m just another pony, m-my name is D-Disk. Nice to meet you?” I had no idea why my voice was shaking so much but I guess it was because it was my first time talking to a pony that wasn’t one of my friends in a pony form.

“Could y-you help me by giving me some i-information of the area please?” I was still shaking, either because I was still not used to talking to ponies or the fact that one of the characters I knew well was stood in front of me, but judging by how she was, I think she was still confused.

“Sorry, I don’t really get out much. You might wanna go somewhere else if you’re looking for information. I only go to the market now and again for food.”

“W-well, do you maybe know a place I could stay? I’m new around here and I’m guessing I’ve got a few days at least. Not certain how long exactly” Vinyl’s face quickly changed from a nervous wreck to a confused and slightly shocked face as she funneled though her thoughts.

“Erm, there may be some rooms still available around. But if push comes to shove I’m pretty sure you can use the old shed round back if you clean it up enough. Just remember to knock if you don’t find a place” As quickly as she first came out the door, it closed straight behind her as she walked in. My head was pounding from the confusion but I knew I had to just put up with it and find a place to stay before I could get hold of information.

After a while of exploring and finally asking for directions I found my way to the town Inn, though on the way inside it hit me. I had no money at all, maybe if the ponies around here are as kind as I’ve grown to know them I should be able to work it off in the Inn. I then approached the desk nervously.

“If you want a room, I’m sorry but we’re all out of rooms. Though I’m sure one of the friendly town ponies will allow you to stay in a spare room if you explain yourself.” A young brown stallion with a blue mane said whilst standing behind the counter. Both relief and confusion hit me the relief mainly because I all ready had a place to stay for this situation and the confusion because one, how did an Inn for such a small town get filled in a time where no events are going on and also that I’m gonna be staying more or less in the same house, or the same piece of land as a female pony which was one thing I was certainly not prepared for.

I decided to set off back to Vinyl’s to ask her if it was still all right to use her shed as a place to crash whilst I was in town and trying my best I set off in what I thought was the correct direction towards her house. Somehow I ended up getting lost like I usually do in a new place, though I felt no fear since I knew if I asked a pony they would immediately help me by giving me directions, I found myself outside of an apple tree farm where I saw Jake/ Speedwrench talking to an orange pony wearing a cowboy hat. “Huh, he’s talking to Applejack then … Guess he’s either asking for something to eat or a place to stay.” I guess I should leave him be since we decided not to really speak for the day so we could get our tasks done. Just as I was setting off in what I thought was the direction of Vinyl’s house but at least back towards the town square, a force suddenly grabbed my tail and stopped me right in my tracks. When I looked back to see what got me, I saw a strange purple energy wrapped around my tail. Magic, then that means that a unicorn pony had taken interest in me and grabbed my tail at the first chance.

I turned around in confusion, looking for which unicorn had grabbed me but no sign of another pony around when suddenly in a flash of magic the grip around my tail had vanished and a purple unicorn had appeared in front of me. I jumped back from the shock of a pony just appearing from a light right in front of me but after the shock and when my eyes adjusted back to the light I saw Twilight Sparkle stood there in front of me.

“Hey, you’re a new pony! I’m surprised Pinkie hasn’t thrown a party for you yet. Actually silly me, you won’t know who Pinkie is yet if she has not thrown a party for you yet. Anyway, I can feel some sort of strange magic around you. I gotta take you to my place and conduct some research!”

Before I could even speak she grabbed my tail again with her magic and dragged me though the town and to a large hollowed out tree near the centre. Though on my way there I tried to escape multiple times when I passed the few places I recognised like the Inn, Sugar cube corner and even Vinyl’s house. But no matter how hard I pulled I couldn’t move in any other direction. Twilight carried on dragging me regardless and ended up even dragging me into the tree itself without paying much attention. She then let go of me with her magic and then stared at me in excitement and before I could open my mouth, a scroll and quill flew from the other side of the room and hovered in front of her.

“Have you currently got a spell on you?” Twilight asked with obvious signs of excitement on her face. I’m guessing she’s never really seen another pony in the town that’s had a magical

“Not that I know of …” It was obvious I couldn’t tell her that I wasn’t originally a pony, I mean the thought of it might either make me look insane or get me kicked out of the village.

“Hmm. Do you even know a spell that might affect your body?” She certainly wasn’t in the mood to give up.

“I don’t know any magic. I- I traveled here from far away and both my parents were Earth ponies so I never learnt magic.” I really hope this would stop her questioning

“Well then, as a unicorn it’s your responsibility to learn magic! With Celestia as my witness you shall not leave here without at least a basic form of magic spell” Oh boy... Seems like I triggered something I might either regret or come to fear. I know I’m a unicorn but learning magic in a short time might be pretty much impossible, even for a fast learner like me. But on the other hand. Magic may be useful and if I do take all night, I’ve also got a place to stay as Twilight herself won’t let me leave until I learn magic … Don’t see any other choice but to go along.

“Okay, since you won’t let me leave when I’ve got to go tell Vinyl that I’ve chosen to stay over at her place. I guess I’ll have to learn magic to get there.”

Twilight’s face turned to pure excitement as she quickly wrote on the still floating scroll with the quill and sent it off as quickly as she first called it .

“I’ve just sent a note to her telling her that you’ve chosen to stay there for the night and that you’ll be with me until you learn magic. Now then let’s get to the first task, moving objects.” I could clearly see that Twilight had a sense of leadership and excitement as if she’s been wanting to teach someone for a while now. With a quick purple flash of her horn, several books quickly fly off the shelves and line themselves up in front of me, each with a number but all laid out in a random order.

“For your first task, I want you to focus your energy and line these books in order.”

I sighed as I read the numbers on the books. 2,5,3,1,4. Simple enough, I hope. Using all of my might I focused my mind onto the books and visualised them floating in the air, as I did the books flew up as if I was commanding them myself. On a quick glance I notice that my magic itself is a bright red, a nice colour I have to say. But upon that thought I dropped the books as I lost focus.

“Try again, this time keep focus or else you won’t learn the basics!” Twilight said, a proud tone on her voice. I’m guessing that I’m doing better than I thought I was since she obviously tried to hold back her pride in teaching me with little success.

This time I focused purely on the books, forcing them all to float in the air though my magic. I then visualised all the books in the order they were in and then proceeded to move them in my head and as I did the books moved with my thoughts, during the few seconds of movement I managed to order all the books and even stack them together in a neat pile.

“Good good, now you know how to move objects. I’ll need you to go to Vinyl’s and read those ASAP!” And with a flick of her head Twilight sent me outside with her magic and the neat book pile slid next to me. With a large sigh I picked up the books with my magic and trotted along to Vinyl’s place which was easier to find now since it had become dark from my hours of wandering and strobe lights flew out of the window. I proceeded to knock on the door with my hoof, the door quickly opened and I then went in to be shown where I was staying. Which ended up being a spare room, I guess she was joking about the shed.
