To become a pony

I awoke at what I could guess was early morning the next day. I laid there staring at the ceiling above me as I noticed the jam tarts that were stuck on there with the same red splatter that I saw on Pinkie the day before. I guess that explains why she was covered in it and holding a knife, she was baking them and now they’re up on the ceiling unable to be eaten. A waste really, but nothing I could do now unless I was a pegasi and willing to eat off a ceiling.

One question apart from how the jam tarts managed to get onto the ceiling clung to my head. Where am I? The place I was in looked familiar, it looked kinda like the room I was staying in apart from a different shape and a lot more stuff lying around the room. Like headphones, vinyl disks, sunglasses.... I think I may have woken up in Vinyl’s room. I checked the bed just in case any incident happened during the night. With me being male and all but to my relief there was no pony in the bed, nothing wrong with it at all. I was just certainly not ready to try that with ponies since I am not interested in it. Not as a human and not as a pony, though I don’t have nothing against people who are … I’m losing my train of thought here. I better find Vinyl and see if she knows what I did yesterday after getting drunk.

I’m not quite sure if Vinyl was at the party. I was either unconscious or drunk throughout the entire thing, but it wasn’t much different in the human world. The only real difference was the amount of alcohol, though I’m not sure if I drank more after that first bomb of drunkenness, more than likely since that’s how people are when drunk.

I trotted downstairs and into the main room, as yesterday morning. Vinyl was laid there in a wreckage of her own CD’s but this time accompanied by a few jam tarts and other various sweet treats. Hopefully I wasn’t the reason those were on her or I’d be dealing with a very angry Vinyl which would be the last thing I wanted since she is the only one so far who’s giving me a place to stay and knowing anyone in anger, I’d probably be kicked out for a while and that’s certainly one thing I don’t want after waking up drunk.

Vinyl woke up as I approached her carefully. She looked up at the with a smile, guess I didn’t really do that much last night then. And then she shook the pile of items off her body. She then proceeded to put her sunglasses on as she looked at the sweets in confusion.

“I’m sure I didn’t get some of those things last night. Anyway … Disk, did ya enjoy the party last night?” Vinyl smiled as she asked me. This made it painfully obvious that she wasn’t there or even that she saw me last night or else she would have known that I was unconscious for the majority of the party and drunk for the rest of it.

“Yeah, I did have fun. Well the part I was awake for anyway, though I can’t remember it all. I’m gonna go and ask around to see who saw me last night. It’s also a chance to return those books to Twilight.” Though while I said that my brain was just hoping that she wouldn’t kidnap me again, but I could probably get away now since I know a bit of extra magic. But at the same time, I wasn’t sure I could escape using magic due to it being Twilight herself who is well known for her magical strength. But still, knowing Pinkie there is a certainty that Twilight was at the party and could have information on what I did.

Well whatever, if I get kidnapped again it certainly isn’t anything new from the last two days. I then levitated the books I still had into a bag, which I then attached to my body.  Threw on my sunglasses and then I sighed at the thought of the chance of getting dragged off again as I stepped outside to begin my day of gathering more information.

I slowly walked towards the library in town, knowing full well that when I knock on that door I’m going to get dragged into something crazy. But I’ve got to return these books and find out whatever I can about last night even if I end up getting kidnapped for the full day. I held my breath as I knocked on the door with my hoof. But there was no answer. I went back to my regular breathing pattern and tried the door again.

“Okay, okay hold your horses! Heh, horses.” This voice sounded familiar but I couldn’t put my hand … or hoof on it. But it was a male voice, and in the same are as Twilight. It should really be Sp-

Just as my brain was about to call it, a young green and purple dragon opened the door. Yes, it certainly was Spike.

“If you’re looking for Twilight she’s still asleep upstairs, she came in pretty strange last night. But, I could wake her if it’s important.”

“If you don’t mind, Spike. I need to return these five magic manuals and ask Twilight about what happened yesterday at the party, and as it seems I wasn’t the only one who drank that punch and got affected by it.” I levitated the books out of my bag and into Spike’s arms. He lead me inside and I looked at the unholy mess of book after book piled atop each other. Spike just threw the books onto the pile and in reaction I gave him a stern look.

“Hey, don’t look at me like that. Twilight was the one who messed all these up yesterday so I’m gonna make her clean this up. No way I’m gonna do it.” Spike looked at me with a smug face. I guess he didn’t really get the chance to have Twilight do something for him instead of it being the other way around.

“Anyway, I should go and get her up. Don’t want her to get lazy like me. Wait, shouldn’t have said that.”

Spike went up the stairs and presumably towards Twilight’s room. I decided to have a look around. If any pony apart from me did awake from last night, my guess it’ll take a while to do so. I pondered on the several books that were piled up, most of them being herbal remedies and the rest looking like magical medicines. My guess is that Twilight was either looking for some sort of medicine for someone, or that she just didn’t want to be drunk. Either way she did leave a massive pile on the floor that became such an eyesore. If I knew how the books were organized in here I’d have a try at cleaning them myself.

Suddenly a large bang was heard, as if something was slammed against the upstairs wall. I’m certain it was just a small fit, even Twilight isn’t that viol-

“Calm down Twilight! It’s just someone coming to see you about last night!” Spike shouted in panic and soon after followed a series of crashes. I ran up the stairs and crashed into a slamming door as I went to run though the door way. I then proceeded to fall down the stairs and slam at the bottom. I shook myself off and looked to the top of the stairs. That hurt a lot less than it should have, I guess it’s a benefit of being a pony. I ran back up the stairs and forced the door open with a burst of magical energy as I ran though only to get hit by a flying plant pot.

“What the heck was that about?!” I shouted out of reaction of getting hit in the head.

I then turned to see a cowering Spike and Twilight trying to hide under her covers, though her back half was stood out and her horn stuck out the front.

“Twilight, it’s me Disk. I just want to know what happened last night and if you saw me do anything st-” My sentence was struck short as a book hit me in the head.

“The heck was that about?!” I snapped as the book bounced off the floor. I walked over to where Twilight was hiding and pulled the sheet off her. Twilight sat there, her hair was now yellow and messed up in a way that it didn’t even look like Twilight at all, the style seemed to represent a mix of Candy mane and Carrot top which caused me to laugh in reaction. Which in turn caused Twilight to hide her head under a pillow.

“It’s too late now Twi. I’ve seen your hair. How did it even get like that?!”

“Magic spell gone wrong. I drank that strange punch last night and then someone dared me to use my magic on a mirror to see what happened and here’s the results. I tried looking in all the books for a cure but I found nothing apart from one book telling me that the spell lasts for a full day. So I’m just gonna hide myself away all day.”

“Listen darn it. I want to know what happened last night with me. If you wanna hide in here all day fine. I’ll just go to someone else for the information. After you give me any info about me last night or I’ll tell everyone about your hair.” I know I shouldn’t be saying this but desperate times call for desperate measures and I was sure as hell desperate for information. Twilight winced and make a sound I couldn’t think of anything but cute though that wasn’t the thing purely on my mind at the moment.

“Okay okay, just don’t tell anyone about the hair! Last night before I got convinced to try the spell I saw you run out of Sugar cube corner with a load of food floating in the air. And there’s also a rumour going around that Spike heard that you went throwing it on nearly every building in town while you were shouting random words in a strange accent.”

I felt my face go blush red from embarrassment of even throwing the food around, but it explains why jam tarts were on the ceiling and that Vinyl was buried in food as well as the usual equipment.

“Okay. I could have done that since that sounds a heck of a lot like me after a few drinks. The accent at most anyway. I don’t usually go throwing random stuff when drunk. I do stuff that I’d think will be funny. I don’t think anyone would find it funny if a random pony ran over and threw food at your house.”

I shook my head and looked around. I guess I won’t find anything else here and I’d have to walk around town to find more information. I turned to Spike who was still cowering even though the onslaught of books and random objects had stopped flying through the air.

I stepped outside just to be blasted a few feet by a blur of light blue and rainbow speeding past me. Only one pony that could be and I was certainly right as Rainbow dash took a speedy landing in front of me.

“Hey you look like one of the ponies from the party. You were the one that passed out before it even started right?”

“Y-yeah, I hit my head and it knocked me clean out.” I turned away slightly in embarrassment as I spoke. I looked around for Noire/ Devon since I knew he was probably going to be flying around with RD if he was successful at convincing her to letting him stay. Though he was nowhere to be found. Still, he isn’t much for going out unless it’s needed.

“Hey, by the way. You seen a black zebra like Pegasus around here? He disappeared yesterday before the party, said something about wanting to go home and then he was gone by the time I got back.” Rainbow Dash looked around slightly worried but at the same time with little concern as she spoke.

“He probably went off somewhere then, might have even got home knowing him. He’s like that.” Now this was a confusing matter, Devon wanting to go home is normal but I doubt he would have found a way home without telling the others. Or at least gloating about how he knows a way. Oh well, it’s only Devon and he’s bound to show up randomly if he’s still in the area anyway.

“Oh yeah, there’s still SpeedWrench, one of the others that came here with me. He should be with AppleJack, I saw him around there two days ago working.”

“Wait, there’s a pony staying at AJ’s and after last night... Sorry kid I gotta go and fast!” Rainbow dash suddenly bolted away as she flew almost sonic rainboom speed. Seeing that kinda made me wonder how AppleJack acts whilst drunk. Probably isn’t a good thing anyway.

Darn it, I forgot to ask her about last night. I guess I actually have to see someone else then, maybe Caramel or Carrot top. Heck any pony could do really. I was in the street blind drunk throwing things. Not like anyone could actually miss that.

“Hey!” I turned my attention to the first pony I spotted as I shouted, which so happened to be Berry punch. She looked at me with confusion at first and then her face suddenly turned to realisation as she probably remembered me from the night before.

“Hey, you’re that pony that got knocked out at Pinkie’s party! Goodness you did some strange things after you woke up.” Berry smirked as she looked at me as if I did something insanely embarrassing.

“Would you mind telling me what I did?” Worry struck me for a second, but I had to figure this out anyway. No matter how embarrassing it was.

“Well I saw you get back up, I was outside anyway. I saw you through the doorway. The first thing you really did was take a drink... Then three more. Then you decided to grab a ton of food, eat some and then you went into town to look for what you said was “Bacon”. What is Bacon by the way?”

“Erm. It’ll be better if you didn’t know what Bacon was and anyway. Thank you for telling me what I did. Kinda embarrassing but I thankfully know now rather than having the chance of randomly being shouted at for it.” I smiled at Berry and decided that it should be high time I set off back to Vinyl’s. One because it was starting to get dark and two. I needed some more money so I can buy some food and hopefully an outfit tomorrow.

I stepped back into Vinyl’s house. My mind at ease knowing that I didn’t do anything too disruptive last night. I looked over at Vinyl who was messing with some music, her headphones over her ears. I poked her side with my hoof, which caused her to jump. In turn, sending her headphones off her head.

“Hey, Vinyl. What can I do to help and earn a little money with this music thing then?”

Vinyl looked at me confused for a second and then her face turned into something on realisation. I guess she forgot that she told me I could help her to earn some money then.

“Well you could use that fancy magic of yours to copy the music I’ve made not long ago. It takes me ages and I’m pretty sure you have more use with magic since I heard from Twilight that she’s been teaching you stuff. The disks are on the counter, just do whatever you do to copy them.”

I nodded and turned towards a few disks lying on the counter. I sighed as I went into the full night of copying disks with magic.
