"oh! what's this one, cheerilee?" i looked down at the perky pony that somehow got my attention. at least i tried. the creature had a white coat, with pink and purple hair. the little midget was with a whole bunch other baby natives.
the larger one if front, presumably cheerilee, smiled and said, "this is Mordecai, the embodiment of madness. he was made along with the draconequus statue we saw earlier. as you can see, this is quite obviously made by somepony quite insane!"
that hurt.
"that is by far the ugliest statue i have ever seen!" a pink earth pony with a tiara on her head scoffed. that hurt more. 'meanie'.
"did you hear something?" the white filly's ears perked up and she looked around. she can hear me?
"testing, testing...one...two...three..."
"okay now i now that somethings talking to me." all the other kids looked at her like she was talking to herself. she might as well have.
"only you can hear me. come back later, i want to talk with you."
"okay!" she smiled and i would have smiled back, if i could have. she seemed nice.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-
two hours later, and the white filly jumped out of a bush, looked around and sighed in relief. "okay, i think i got away."
"good, now i have a special job for you. who knows, you might even get your cutie mark!"
her eyes widened and she smiled "really!?"
maybe. now here's the job. there're a few things in that castle i need. a purple cane, a top hat, and a book. it's called the necronomicon. can you get them for me?"
she nodded and ran in the direction of the castle. i wondered exactly how she was able to hear me. but only for a moment. i had things to do.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-
a few hours later, and she came back to me with my cane and hat. "i found the cane and hat in the museum, but the librarian said that the book was checked out."
"by who?"
"twilight sparkle."
who's she?
"she's one of my friends, and Celestia's personal student." that name... i remember that name. she was the one who put me here!
"put the hat on."
she nodded and put the fedora on. that settled it. the enchantment on the hat activated, and i felt myself being torn away from the statue. i remembered this sensation. it hurt. bad. grahhhh!" i blacked out.
i woke up seeing my statue. i would have grinned if i could.
"hello? voice? where'd you go?"
"i'm right here. i'm now in your head. looks like the magic hat still works. sweet."
"so who are you?"
"it doesn't matter. right now i'm you. in your head. part of you psyche. that sort of thing."
"oh. so how does this work?"
"first close your eyes. next, try to look past your eyes." she did the first thing, then she stumbled and fell over.
"wha- what was that?"
"oh, right. that was me switching places with you. now i'm in control of the body. don't worry, it's not permanent. i'll let you back when i deem it appropriate."
she seemed unsure. "mmm, okay. just don't do anything that might get me-"
"us. it's us now."
"right. don't do anything that'll get us in trouble."
"sure." i picked up my cane and stretched. somewhere in canterlot, a house exploded.
our horn glowed, and i teleported out of the gardens. i've been there long enough.
