To become a pony

I awoke with my face buried in the books. If I remember correctly I was reading the 3rd book and I think I got onto the part of transforming objects with magic. I’m pretty certain that only the first book was the basics but still, it was pretty simple instructions and all that’s needed is practice.

That teleportation spell did seem interesting at the least. I crawled my way out of the bed, though falling over when I forgot that I was a pony and tried to stand upright. This is one thing I’ve got to get used to. Looking in the mirror I thought something was missing, most probably my sunglasses that I’ve portrait my character of Disk with several times in the human world, maybe I should pay Rarity a visit and see if she could make me some. And maybe I should also check with Vinyl about getting some headphones since she looks to have several spare that I could recolour with magic. That’s if I remember the colour spell anyway.

I walked out of the spare room and stumbled down the stairs where then I noticed that Vinyl had fallen asleep right at the booth she placed at the centre of the main room and she was covered by several CD’s. By the look of the headphones on her I was guessing she was creating some music and fell asleep, pretty much like I did whilst reading about magic. I guess since she’s asleep I’ll head over to Rarity to get my glasses then. Well, that’s if I find my way there...

When I stepped outside it was a sight unlike yesterday, the streets were busy and a large amount of ponies walked along the streets. At least now if I get lost I don’t have to search for someone to ask for directions this time.

My stomach rumbled as my brain remembered I haven’t actually had something to eat since I got here, luckily Vinyl gave me some currency as a kind of welcoming gift and told me that I’d have to work on some music if I wanted to earn some more and even though I did like music. I wouldn’t be certain that the other ponies would want to buy it so quickly.

I trotted along towards what one pony said was the direction of the clothing store that Rarity owned, luckily the route went though the market so I managed to get some apples to eat on the way. Strangely enough the apples here filled me up a lot more than back in the human world and even though I bought 5 I only managed to eat 3 to get my fill, I just took the other two and put them in my bag with the currency I had left.

I made my way to the boutique as it was called and knocked at the wooden door round the front. The door opened to reveal a white pony with a purple mane standing there, she looked me up and down and quickly dragged me into the boutique.

“Oh no, no, no this won’t do. Your mane is a mess” Rarity said with a sense of distress on her voice.

I looked over to the mirror to see that my mane was tangled up like my hair usually did after I slept in the human world. Oh well at least they don’t have stra-

My thoughts were crushed on top of me as I noticed Rarity holding something that looked similar to straighteners with her magic.

“Erm, what is that?!” Fear was clear on my voice and I even took a few steps back whilst talking

“Why dear, these are straighteners for your mane. I think your hair would look fabulous straightened. Though we have to do something about that green.”

I screamed a mess of words that were not understandable in any language as I ran across the room in fear. Rarity stood there confused as I shook in the corner at the pure sight of the straighteners. She put the straighteners away with a disappointed sigh and immediately attacked my hair with a brush.

“Now then dear, why did you come over to my boutique?” She said whilst whisking the brush away and into a drawer.

“I came to see if you could make me some sunglasses, seeing as you make clothing and everything.” Well the worst part was over, I guess she forgot about wanting to dye my mane but I guess that’s a good thing considering I didn’t want a change in colour.

Rarity gave a sigh as she shook her head “Only sunglasses. Why don’t you order a new outfit to go with them as well?”

“Erm, I only really need the sunglasses. And I only really have the money to buy them anyway, I don’t have enough for clothing...”

“That won’t do at all, how about you drop the idea of the silly sunglasses and get a nice new coat for the same price. I’m pretty sure a lot of ponies would want to see your eyes, such a beautiful shade of blue”

I felt my face go flush as Rarity spoke to me, luckily my face was already red or else she would be able to see that her flattery was working.

“I-im sorry but I only came here for sunglasses. I need them since the sun here is more intense than back home.”

Rarity let out a grunt of defeat as she stomped out to the back room. I guess she realised that I couldn’t be convinced otherwise. After a while she came back with a pair of sunglasses, the frames large and black and the lenses the exact shade of my eyes. She levitated the sunglasses over to my face but they slid off easily.

“Oh my, you’re a difficult on aren’t you? I’ll be a second to fix this up.” Rarity happily stepped back into the room she came out of mere seconds ago.

Yet again she walked out, this time the sunglasses with a double nose bridge. She levitated the sunglasses yet again, but this time they successfully stayed in place. I sighed in relief and gave her the payment needed, which took most of the money I had left.

I guess with the sunglasses done and ready I’ll head back to Vinyl’s and get the headphones, that’s if she’s awake anyway. I set off out of the boutique and back in the direction which I used to get there in the first place.

Once I got to the house. I quietly opened the door just in case Vinyl was still asleep, though it appeared she was awake due to her not being in the middle of the now tidy-ish pile of CD’s but still no sign of her. I walked into the room, looking around for any sign of her when suddenly she bursts out from behind the door, making it slam shut and forcing me to jump across the room, my guess this was her form of revenge for just leaving her sleeping there.

After I calmed I then turned to see Vinyl laughing to herself, I guess I kinda deserved it for leaving without telling her where I was going. Anyway, back to business.

“Vinyl, can I possibly take a pair of headphones to keep?”

“Erm... Sure, take one of the ones from that pile over there.” Vinyl pointed her head in the direction of a massive pile of headphones. Guessing by the fact she pointed me to the pile, they still work anyway though I don’t really think I’ll be using them that much. I’m just mainly wanting them for looks.

“Well, I’ll just get on upstairs so I can practice some more magic.” I shuffled my way to the staircase as Vinyl looked at me in confusion. I guess she doesn't really think much of magic as I’ve only seen her use basic magic to move her record needle to start the music.

I guess I could start with that teleportation spell that caught my attention so much. With my sunglasses on and my headphones resting on my neck. I take an apple from my bag and place it on the floor in front of me. If I remember correctly instead of visualising the movement I’ve got to visualise the teleportation, taking the object in question from one place to another in my mind which by guessing would take a heck of a lot more focus than moving an object.

I focused my mind on the apple, imagining it moving from one place to another in an instant. Though I don’t think the spell worked correctly as the apple did move, it just exploded near the target location and covered me in apple goo. I sighed and placed the last apple I had in the starting location of the first apple, this time though as I imagined the movement instead of an actual movement. I imagined the apple just appearing at the target location without any movement at all, staying completely still apart from the switch of location. And just like that the apple moved from the floor and appeared on the table at the side of the bed.

Well then, that was the first successful attempt at that and I was quite proud of myself in the matter since the teleportation spells are classed under the more difficult ones. I decided to have another attempt since I got it right once, I could try again. I focused on the apple again and decided to teleport it a few steps away from me, the apple disappeared in a flash of red light and instead of an apple appearing in front of me, a pink mare suddenly appears. Causing me to jump back until I realise it’s only Pinkie pie. Wait, that means I’m gonna end up being dragged into a par-

And before I could even finish the sentence in my own head, she suddenly got hold of my tail in her mouth and started dragging me out of the room. I easily get dragged down the stairs, somehow missing a single step as I went down and even avoided getting injured at the bottom of the staircase somehow without impact. I guess it’s just because it’s Pinkie pie dragging me.

Before I got dragged out of the front door I swear I saw Vinyl laughing at the sight of me getting dragged, I guess it’s not the first time she’s seen someone get dragged out of her house by Pinkie pie or at least it wasn’t the first time she saw someone get dragged away by Pinkie.

After a while of dragging me though out Ponyville she finally stopped in front of Sugar cube corner

“You know if you asked I would have walked over here with you” I glared at Pinkie as a sign that I wasn’t happy about the sudden kidnapping

Pinkie just giggled and dragged me inside, in a blur of speed she ducked under the counter and jumped up with a plate full of cupcakes.

“Oh, sorry about that. It’s that you were busy all yesterday and I wanted to throw a party for you. Your friend Umbra told me everything about you and where you were staying and how I’d be able to fi- Anyway, want a cupcake?” Pinkie seemed more hyper than usual, but she did say that Umbra told her about us. But yet I couldn’t see him, though eventually my craving for sweet things came in and made me forget about it all as I chomped down one of the cupcakes in a single bite.

Pinkie giggled as I ate another cupcake since they tasted so nice and sweet when suddenly I started feeling funny. I realised that something was wrong but it was too late as I fell unconscious on the floor.

I awoke to what I think was Umbra shouting, I wasn’t quite sure as my head was hazy and everything was a blur.

“Goddammit Pinkie pie, let me go!” Well that was certainly Umbra shouting since I recognised the voice easily.  As my eyes adjusted to the light I saw that I was tied in a chair that was placed in a dimly lit room. My surroundings were quite plain but I could tell that I was still in Sugar cube corner due to all the baking ingredients thrown around. I then looked around to notice Umbra tied up in the same way I was apart from that he was fidgeting and trying to use magic even though by the look of it he had no idea. I also saw Speedwrench sat in the same way but falling back asleep after Umbra awoke him, I guess whatever was in the cupcakes didn’t wear off him yet.

I sat there for quite a while, mostly watching Umbra struggle whilst I tried to work out what was happening in my own head. Though it was quite simple, I just didn’t want to believe that Pinkie would kidnap three ponies and lock them in a storage room for no reason. There weren't much options that I could think of that matched with the Pinkie I knew, so I decided purely that it had to be for the reason of holding us where she could easily find us until she finished preparing something. But she’s gone quite far for such a thing, even if it is Pinkie.

After getting bored of just sitting there I decided I had enough and just quickly untied everyone with the simple movement spell, stepped out of the chair and into a large stretch.

“You could have done that this entire time?!” Umbra shouted, he was obviously angry at the fact that I didn’t just simply untie everyone at the start.

He then proceeded to run after me, most probably to hit me. So in reaction I just ran away while Speedwrench stood there, still in a daze and watching the entire event. After a while when we both got tired of running I decided enough was enough. I opened the first door I saw whilst turned to my friends. Suddenly they ran in fear at the sight that was though the door, I went to turn my head but I doubt it could actually be that bad since it’s Pin- Well my thoughts were certainly wrong. Pinkie pie stood there, looking as if she was just about to open the door to find out what the noise was. She had a knife held in her mouth and she was covered by some form of thick red liquid that very much resembled blood. Though it did give off a nice scent of fruit. My brain went into a form of panic after seeing this sight and I ran towards the others in a blind panic as they tried to open the other door. Without stopping, I ended up slamming into my friends and forcing the door open. Due to my position I ended up flying into the middle of the other room where a bunch of ponies, almost the instant I landed onto my face they all jumped up and yelled. “SURPRISE! Welcome to pony-ville!”

Though as I landed, my body slid across the room and into the wall. Knocking me clean out.

I awoke with what I guess was a few hours later. All of the other ponies were either sleeping or gone, I didn’t think much of it apart from the spilled glasses of juice everywhere. When I looked up and onto the table there were a few of the glasses left with some in, tempting. I trotted over to the glasses and took a sniff, it smelt like. Alcohol? But I thought alcohol wasn’t a thing around here. Oh well, I could use a drink. I picked up the glass with my magic and gulped down the drink as fast as I could. The taste was strange, as if the drink itself was mostly alcohol. Explains why everyone else was asleep or gone, and I thought it was just late. And then it hit me, the drink was the strongest I ever came across in my life as my mind turned blank from the instant drunkenness and I blacked out once again.
