Draconification

A/N: I have pretty much rewritten this chapter to add a better flow, more development and turn the rush down a notch or five.

For those who wants to give the original a shot, just to see how it compares, you can find it here.

It's gone from 4023 words to 8600+ words, not counting authors notes.

Enjoy.

"Wa..e...p!"

Something stirred me from my nap.

"..a..ke..up....Dra...n!..I..c..n't...st..y.....is..wo..ld....ch...o..er!"

That voice.. I know it..

"Urk.. Where the hell am I..?" I mumbled, trying to open my eyes.

Bright white filled them, blocking out everything else as I fell towards god knows what.

At least I was pretty sure I was falling, as the wind buffeted my body.

Unfortunately, the thrilling feeling of diving through the skies came to an abrupt end as I crashed into something wet instantly followed by the hard ground.

I heard a gasp near me followed by.. Hoofsteps?
Is someone out riding their horse or something?

I just hope that whoever it is, can help me, because I can't stay awake much longer.
That impact did more damage than I thought.

"Oh my.. Something fell in the river Angel Bunny.. I wonder what it wa- EEP! A d-d-d-dra-! Oh no! It's hurt.. Angel Bunny, go get Twilight and Spike, I'll need their help!" I heard the soothing voice say before darkness gripped me.

__________

Warmth.. I felt warm and cozy from the inside out.

Opening my eyes, my vision still blurry. Blinking a few times, I now saw that I was inside a room filled with what looked like bird houses and other small shelters for critters.

Lot's of small trinkets and plants littered the room, giving it a nice and cozy feel.

I could see that I was lying on a couch, draped in a big warm blue blanket.

A cute little wooden table was next to me, containing some of my things, my wallet, keys, my old phone, an old Alcatel One Touch Easy, crappy as hell, but it can survive falls that could easily kill a man and it even survived an entire night under water, so it was a trusty companion that had followed me for over a decade now.
There was also my iPod Touch, earbuds wrapped around it, though I could clearly see that my it was broken from the fall, it's screen having been cracked wide open.

I was about to reach out from under the blanket and grab it to inspect the damage, when someone entered the room.

As I turned towards the sound and heard a cute little "Eep!" as whomever said it jumped behind the nearest recliner.

But when I tried opening my mouth to speak, for some odd reason, all I could say was some weird gurgling sounds.. I guess my throat is still a bit out of it.

"T-T-T-Twilight!" Said a slightly panicky voice that I recognized from when I just crashed.

"What is it Fluttershy? Is he awake yet?" Another voice rang from the room next to this one.

I then heard hoofsteps again, but that couldn't be right.. Who in their right mind kept a horse inside a little house like this.. Maybe it's a miniature pony or something.

What I did see however, shocked me quite a bit.

Out walked a little lavender purple pony with a dark blue mane and tail, both with a violet and pink stripe running through them and, get this, a horn.. A fucking horn.

Now I knew I had to be either dreaming, drunk or high, but seeing as I neither drink on weekdays nor do drugs at all and I have a headache that could wake the dead, I doubt it's any of those.

Still didn't stop me from panicking inside, as my head went into overdrive, trying to figure out what kind of sick joke this was.

But all my thought processes instantly froze, kicked themselves in the balls and decided to rage quit at what happened next.

"Hello? Are you ok now? You took quite the blow to your head when you landed in the river just outside" It said

Suddenly something inside me felt like it was about to explode, as truer words than anything ever spoken blasted out of my mouth.

"A TALKING PONY!?! WHAT THE FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-!!!!!!!"

My brain finally killed itself, as I sat there with probably the craziest look on my face, ever!

The purple unicorn on the other hand looked quite shocked at my sudden outburst.

At least her stumped face looked funny enough to shake me out of my little mental meltdown.
And I decided to try talking in a less panicked voice.

"No really.. Talking ponies do not exist, nor do ponies come quite as colorful as you, not to mention that unicorns are mythological beasts, so technically YOU should NOT exist." I told her quite matter-of-factly.

She then shot me a look that said I had to be a moron.

"What the hay are you talking about? Unicorns have been around for thousands of years and Ponies have always been able to talk." She said as she exhaled hard through her muzzle, punctuating her facts.

This time it was my turn to shoot her the moron look.

"Listen here, Lavender. If what you said was true, I think we humans would have discovered you millennia ago. There's a reason why you're a mythological beast, so don't give me that BS. And no! Ponies do not talk, they're simple animals, pets, attractions for little girls to ride on." I finished, giving her a grunt and a smirk of my own to punctuate it.

It was then that a boyish voice piped up.

"Hey! Don't talk like that to Twi, you big bully! Just because we're the same race, doesn't mean that i tolerate it when you say bad things about my friends!"

I looked around, trying to spot the one who spoke, until I looked down behind the unicorn, seeing a little purple and green lizard.

"Oh this is just fucking great.. Now we have a giant talking lizard as well.." I said as deadpanned as possible.
"And just for the record, squirt. I'm a human, not a lizard!" I said as I pointed.. My.. Finger.. What the fuuuuuck..?

At the end of my arm was no longer fingers, but four claw like digits.
My arm was also covered in something that seemed like black scales, with crimson spikes.

I twisted and turned my new hand around, but there was no change, it still had scales and was missing a digit.
Rubbing my eyes I noticed something.. My nose, it was gone and my face had changed as well.

"Sweet mother of god.." I mumbled as I looked at the blue blanket covering me up.

I instantly ripped it away from my body, only to be met by a long scaly and black body with a crimson belly and more spikes.
My long tail wiggling around between my new legs which ended out in a pair of clawed feet.

So I did what most humans probably would.
I Panicked and I panicked hard, screaming with all my might, as crimson flames burst from my mouth.

"FIRE!!! OH GOD THERE'S FIRE IN MY MOUTH!! HELP MEEEEEE!!!" I boomed as the flames kept on flowing out.

I didn't care about anything anymore, I just needed to get out, get away from it all and figure out what the hell just happened.

Jumping up from the couch, I started running around, my head smashing into the ceiling and birdhouses every now and then as I was trying to find the door out, my long tail wrecking everything around me, knocking both the lavender pony and her little lizard off of their feet.

I then reached the recliner where the other person in the house had hid before, as my tail whipped it out of the way when I turned around toward the next door.

It was then that I saw a little pink maned, canary yellow pony with wings.

Oh fucking great.. There's even pegasi here! I really need to run, NOW!

I finally found the right door and tried to run out, but something stopped me.
Trying to force my way through the door, I felt something on my back tugging at me, I turned and looked back to see two huge scaly wings blocking my way through the door.

Oh fucking great.. I have wings now!

If I weren't busy having a panic attack, I might have been overjoyed by that fact, but now wasn't the time for that.
I quickly tried to pull them back in, but I didn't know which muscles to use or how they worked, so the bloody things just kept being open.

"You fucking traitors!" I growled at them.

I quickly decided to try leaving through the door by going sideways, but before I could finish that thought a sudden purple glow enveloped me and I was dragged, screaming for dear life, back inside to my captors.

__________

It had been around an hour and a half now Since Lavender left.

The events unfolded a bit like this.

The first thing I did after Lav- Wait what was it.. Twilight? Poor girl.. I almost feel sorry for her, 'almost' being the keyword here.
Anyway, the first thing I did after she dropped me, was grabbing all the furniture I could and moving it the the corner furthest away from the freakish talking ponies, before diving behind them draping myself in the blanket from before and peeking over the couch, threatening to BBQ anyone that tried to get me out.

"So, you're saying that you refuse to come out from there?" Twilight asked, shooting me a skeptical glance.

"You're a frickin' talking pony with weird powers! There's no way in hell that I'm leaving Fort Furniture here!" I shot back.

"Wait.. Why are you saying it like I'M the only reason that you won't come out!?" She yelled back at me.

"Because YOU'RE the one with the freakish powers! The yellow one I can respect for being the one who found me and helped me and the little Lizard is cool enough in my book for standing up for you, even though I'm ten times his size. But you.. You have freakish powers that you can use to manipulate my body against my will and dragged me back inside in the middle of a panic attack! All I wanted was to get outside and calm down!" I shouted back before hiding back down behind the couch.

"Ha! he thinks I'm cool!" I heard the lizard say in a smug tone.

Twilight just sighed in annoyance before she spoke again.

"Fluttershy, can you please go get AJ? She can help you keep an eye on him while I gather up the rest of the elements and send a letter to the princess about our.. Unusual guest." She said the last part with an irritated tone.

"O-ok Twilight.. But what if he runs away while I'm gone..? If you don't mind me asking.." She timidly said.

"Don't you worry about that! I'll place a barrier around your house when we leave, so that he can't get out and once you return with AJ, it'll let you both in and out while still keeping him inside, in case he tries anything!" She said with pride.

At this I quickly peeked back over the couch.

"So, what? Now you're gonna cage me up like some sick circus attraction!? Congratulations.. You just made it to the top of the list over things I LOVE..." I said, pouring as much sarcasm into the 'love' as possible.

Spike then put both his hands over his mouth and shot Twilight the perfect trollface.

"Hehehe~! He says that he loves you Twi!" He said, trying his hardest not to burst out laughing.

Twilight just sighed, hard, and face..hoofed?

"Come on, Spike! We have a letter to send!" She said and left with the purple and green lizard who she called Spike.

The yellow one, Fluttershy also left, followed by a white bunny.

"Umm.. I'll be back soon, please try to calm down.. If you don't mind." She said in her quiet voice, letting out an 'Eep!' as her teal eyes met mine and she bolted out of her house.

Suddenly there was a flash as a purple'ish barrier formed over the cottage.

I went over to the door and peeked out, seeing them leave, I then tried touching the barrier and sure enough, it was solid as a wall.

"*Sigh..* What do I do now.." I grumbled as I looked around the room, seeing the mess I had made

__________

After about twenty minutes, I had finally managed to calm down a bit and played around with my new muscles, at least enough to figure out how to fold my wings back in and wiggle my tail.

I had then started cleaning up some of my mess, humming old tunes from the movies that my mother loved so much.

She was from a small European country called Denmark and had a great love for old Danish movies with Dirch Passer, Ove Sprogøe and other great Danish actors, so when I was a kid, she often watched them with me and thanks to that, I knew fluent Danish.

Some of all the critters had started coming out from their hiding spots while I was humming and singing a tune from the old 'Father of Four' movies, in Danish of course.

I was relaxing more now and some of the birds even flew over and perched themselves on my spikes and horns while I was sweeping around with a broom I found in a utility closet.

"Ooh~! It is Summer, It's Sunny and It's Sunday~ Every heart is so happy and free-!" I instantly stopped, the broom clattering on the floor as I heard someone clearing their throat behind me.

"Ah don' know, Shy.. He might sing in a weird language, but doesn't look that scary ta me." A thick southern accented female voice said.

I didn't even turn around to look, I just leapt over the couch, the startled birds flying up to their houses as I draped the blanket over me and peeked over the couch, towards the door.

There stood a normal tan pony with a blond mane and tail, tied up in.. A.. Ponytail.. Oh the irony of this darn world and she even wore a bloody cowboy hat.

"Now come on pardner, no need ta hide." She said, trying not to laugh at my reaction.

"Oh? I can think of a reason, or rather two BIG reasons to hide and they're both standing there." I said and pointed towards them.

Her green eyes locked with mine as she started moving towards me.

"Now, that's jus' not fair! Ah'm here ta meet ya and ya'll treat me like ah'm some sort o' monster!" She said, her face showed that she was clearly not amused as she got closer and closer.

"Hey hey hey! Stay outta my fort!" I yelped at her, my voice starting to crack up as my manliness went out of the window.

She stopped and stared at the couch, recliner and overturned table which formed a barricade around the furthest corner of the living room.

"The last time ah checked, those pieces o' furniture belonged ta Shy over 'ere!" She said, jumping up on the couch as she glared down at me, causing me to scoot further back and into the corner.

This time Fluttershy hovered over next to the Cowgirl called AJ.

"Oh, it's alright.. I know he's just scared right now, since he's never seen talking ponies before." She told the fuming cowgirl, who's expression instantly turned into one of disbelief.

"Now that's a lie if I've ever heard one before!" She yelled as she tried to jump over the back of the couch.

I threw my clawed hands up, stopping her in her tracks.

"Stop right there! Please, I'm still in the middle of coming to terms with it all!"

She eyed me a bit, still cloaked under the blanket.

"Remove that blanket there an' look me in mah eyes!" She commanded.

Not one to go against weird ponies with probably more weird powers, I did as she said and looked into her green eyes.

"Now, tell me what ya told Twi and Shy!" She commanded again.

"Like I said. I'm from a place where ponies can't talk and they neither have wings nor horns. They're more like pets for little girls to ride on." I began.

"Wait, so yer tellin' me that there's a world where dragons ride around on ponies!?" She boomed in disbelief as she was about to climb over again, probably to give me a piece of her mind.

"What!? No! I'm NOT a dragon! Or.. I wasn't a dragon when I left for work this morning! I just woke up in a new fucking world, with talking ponies, unicorns and pegasi! And My body is now that of a bloody fire breathing lizard! I'm scared, confused and on the verge of going insane! So please, if you have any compassion at all, give me some space so that I can calm down!!! Thank you!" I snapped and shouted at her as she backed away in shock.

She looked me deep in my eyes again before shaking her head and jumping back down from the couch.

"Ah don't know how ya do it, but there's no lies in what ya jus' told us." She said, giving me a sad smile.

"Ah'm mighty sorry for how ah acted" She said, hanging her head low as she scraped the floor with one of her hooves.

I crawled back to the couch and sat up so that I could easily look over it.

"It's ok, just.. Give me some time to get my thoughts together, please. Everything is still one big mess of fucked up insanity and I still have to figure it out. So just go sit in the kitchen or something, drink some tea, chat a little and give me some space in here. In the mean time, I'll finish cleaning up my mess and move the furniture back in place. I need to move my body right to keep myself from going further insane than I already am and with the Twilight Bubble blocking my way out, I'll have to make do with what I can in here." I told them both, they nodded before going out into the kitchen.

When I heard that they had settled into some idle chatter, I crawled back out of Fort Furniture and prepared to disassemble it humming and singing a new tune.

Musical therapy helps me calm down better.

I cleaned the last bit of trinkets up from the floor and placed them back on their shelves, picking up any bird houses that fell down while I was running around in my panic attack before and sweeping up all the dust, hay and other stuff that littered the floor now.

After sweeping the entire floor, leaving a big piles of dirt by the front door, I then moved over and grabbed the recliner and moved it back to it's place, followed by the couch and the table, they were all pretty light, a perk that comes with being a dragon, I guess.

I was finishing my song as I looked the room over, singing the final verse.

"Looking down into those eyes, I know, I'll be lost and never found again~ Kiss me once and I will surely melt and die, kiss me twice and I will never leave your side~ until the sign of winter, Dreams Come True, always by your side~" My happy singing face quickly turned into one of shock as I saw a smiling pony called AJ standing in the door to the kitchen.

"So, ya can both sing an' clean. Got any other hidden talents?" She smirked.

"How long have you been standing there..?" I asked, feeling my cheeks heating up.

"Oh, jus' long enough. And what was it, kiss ya twice and ya'll never leave mah side?" She said, giving me a teasing wink.

All my thought processes froze, but quickly thawed from the huge amounts of heat my face was generating.

"JEEBUS! That was not funny!" I boomed, causing her to give a cute chuckle.

"Ah didn' think yer black scales could turn crimson like that!" She said trying to stifle another chuckle.

Fluttershy then peeked out from behind AJ.

"I think it was a really nice song." She said with a smile.

Letting out a deep sigh, I took a seat in the couch and motioned for them to come on over.

"I think I've calmed down enough to be civilized now, so please, come on in. I need to get used to talking with ponies anyway."

"Thank ye kindly." AJ said as she took the seat next to me on the couch.

"Are you sure..? I don't want to scare you further." Fluttershy asked as she hovered towards the recliner.

"Yeah.. It's fine now. I have this feeling that neither of you would ever try to hurt me without a reason, so I'll give that feeling a shot." I said, crossing my arms and giving them a nod.

Fluttershy smiled at this and took her place in the recliner, shuffling a bit to get comfortable.

"So, what were those songs you sang? I really like the last one, but the other one sounded nice too, even though I couldn't understand the lyrics.. If you don't mind me asking, that is." She said, giving me a sheepish smile.

Her timid nature caused me to chuckle a little.

"It's ok to ask, now that I've calmed down enough, I can't even fathom how I could freak out like that.. Or, sure, there's the whole "New body" thing, but freaking out about cute little ponies like you is just lame." I mused.

"But to answer your question. The first one is a song called Dreams Come True, from a Power Metal band that I really like called Hammerfall and the first one I was singing when you two got here, is an old song from my mothers homeland, translates from Danish, the language it's in, to 'It is Summer, it's sunny and it's Sunday' and come from an almost 60 years old movie.. You do have movies here, right?"

"Oh yes, we do." Fluttershy answered.

"Good. But yeah, my mom had three passions in life: Her family, animals and old Danish movies, where my father had three others: Dragons, metal and work. So that's where I got my likes for those things as well and also where I learned my mothers native language from." I told them.

AJ looked at me with questioning eyes.

"Wait a darn moment. Why would yer dad have a passion fer dragons? Ah mean, yer one yerself, so he had to be one too, right?" She asked, causing me to faceclaw.

"Remember what I told you? I was a human until this morning... Or I think it was this morning, it feels like there's something missing from my memories. Anyway, in my world, dragons, pegasi and unicorns are nothing but myths, they don't exist there. But my father always loved tales of dragons, so much so that he named his son, me, Dragon or Dracen, but it means the same. So yeah, he was obsessed by them, I grew up only hearing tales of dragons for bedtime stories, only getting dragon related toys and dragon cartoons and comics. I must admit that I'm rather tired of dragons, yet here I am, a bloody dragon myself.. I swear, the cosmos has a sick sense of humor." I grumbled.

"Wait, yer name is 'Dragon'?" She asked, clearly amused by the irony of it all.

I was about to open my mouth and tell her off when a noise cut through the room.

*GUUUURRRRRGLE!!*

I clutched my stomach and winced at the rumbling pain in it.

AJ let out another cute chuckle while Fluttershy smiled shyly.

"Good thing ah brought some Apple family goods then. Ah was saving 'em for when tha others arrive, but ah guess ya'll need 'em more!" AJ told me as she got off the couch and went out to the kitchen, bringing back a picnic basket which she must have brought in while I was busy cleaning or hiding.

While AJ was setting out the different baked apple goods, Fluttershy hovered over by my side.

"Is it ok if I check up on the bruise you got when you crashed in the river? I think it might has healed enough now for us to remove that gauze." She asked, her shyness seemingly having taken backseat to her natural kindness towards those that have been hurt.

"Sure, look all ya want" I said, still watching the apple spread on the table.

Apple pie, apple fritters, apple juice and the most delicious red apples I have seen.

My stomach let out another loud growl and I was about to apologize when out of nowhere a white bunny with a grumpy look on it's face jumped over and smacked me across the snout with a carrot, causing me to let out a yelp.

"Angel Bunny! What are you doing to poor Dracen! He's been through enough already, young boy!" She yelled in her soft voice as she gave the poor bunny a stare that could freeze even the mightiest of dragons in its tracks.

Even if we weren't the ones she locked eyes with, both AJ and I almost froze from 'The Stare' and I could only imagine how bad it must have been for the little rascal.

Not one to hold a grudge over something like that, I decided to save the poor guy and picked him up with one hand and rested him against my soft crimson chest area, before looking to Fluttershy.

"Easy now, Fluttershy. He was probably just trying to protect you, thinking that the growl my stomach made, was a threat directed towards you. So I can't blame him for doing what he did, it just scared me a little is all." I said, giving her a sheepish smile.

Angel looked up at me and gave me a nod as if he accepted my explanation and I propped him up on my shoulder, giving him his carrot back which he went back to consuming and I got ready to chow down on some apple goodies as well.

Fluttershy just looked on, a little shocked that her bunny who was normally unfriendly towards anypony that was not her, was now sitting there on Dracen's shoulder, peacefully eating his carrot like they had been friends for years.

"Dracen.. That's amazing! Angel usually doesn't take to strangers." She beamed.

I turned my attention from the delicious apple goodies on the table and to Fluttershy, while AJ was out fetching drinkware for us all.

"Well, you remember what I said my moms passions was? One was animals. She took care of animals as her job, keeping a shelter for hurt and lost animals at our home. So I grew up helping her take care of all the critters," I said, "one time I even shared my bed with two dogs, four cats, an owl perched on the bedpost and my pet raccoon which I had taken care off since he was born, I named him Zorro, after a masked hero, because of his markings around his eyes." I told her, AJ had joined in and listened after she had set out the drinkware on the table.

"So, yeah. I'm kinda used to handling both big and small animals." I finished.

"That sounds so amazing! Just like what I have here! Ooh, I wonder if you have animals that we don't have here." She mused, a big smile adorning her face.

"Ah'm sure they do, Shy. But for now, ah think Dracen 'ere would like ta get somethin' in that tummy o' his." AJ told Fluttershy who was busy fluttering around wondering about what other critters we might have in my world.

"Don't mind if I do!" I said as I grabbed one of the apples and bit into it.

"Oh wow. This is way better than the apples back home!" I said between bites.

AJ's eyes lit up at this.

"An' that's why ah'm one o' the proud owners o' Sweet Apple Acres, where me an' mah family grow the best apples in Equestria." She said, pride filling her voice.

"As good as these are, I wouldn't be surprised if they are the best in, what did you say? Equestria? I take it that it's the name of this country? or is it the entire world?" I asked as I finished my apple and went for a fritter.

"That depends on who you ask.. Most ponies calls our world either Earth, Ponyland, Ert, or even "Equestria" while other races has other names, like Light, Gaia, Faustia, Eden, Terra, Aesir or Midgard." Fluttershy said.

"I'll just call it Earth then, that's the name of my world as well." I said before resuming with munching on my fritter.

"Oh damn, this is good~! Home baked?" I asked, as I reached out and put a slice of pie on my plate

"Eeyup! Made 'em mahself!" AJ said, a smile of pride adorning her face.

"I bet you have all the stallions chasing after you, what with with how cute you look and baking skills like these. Maybe I should join in on the chase." I said, chuckling a bit from the now visible blush under her coat.

"Ah yes, payback is sweet, just like this delicious pie~!" I said, taking another bite from my slice of apple pie, smirking all the while I was chewing it.

"Okay, ah deserved that, but if ya want a piece o' this pie, ya have to get up earlier than that!" She said, giving me her best seductive gaze while I was mid chewing of another bite, causing me to choke on the darn thing.

A coughing fit and another one of her chuckles later, I finally regained my ability to talk.

"Touché, ma cherie. Now may I please have some juice?" I asked in a raspy voice from the abuse my throat just took.

AJ hoofed me a bottle of apple juice which I quickly drained of half it's contents, letting out a long sigh.

"That hit the spot~" I said, patting my stomach.

"Well, feel free ta take some more." AJ said hoofing up an apple for herself.

I had seen her and Fluttershy doing this before and it had been nagging me for a bit now.

"How does that even work? I mean, you don't have any fingers, so how can you ponies lift stuff with your hooves?" I asked, eying her hoof.

"Well," Fluttershy started, "everypony has magic inside of them, for unicorns, they can use it in conjecture with their horns to manipulate the natural mana in the air surrounding us for various effects, we pegasi can move clouds to manipulate the weather and even stand or sleep on them, hence allowing us to live in cloud homes if we so want and finally earth ponies gains strength and a special connection to the earth around us, allowing them to grow things better than any other race on the planet. But there is one common skill we all have and that is a field around our hooves, which allows us to get a grip on stuff even though we lack digits like you and Spike." She finished.

"Huh.. Something inside me says that I should probably be freaking out about the whole magic and weather manipulating ponies stuff, but with all the crazy things that I've been through today, it doesn't even faze me anymore." I said as I grabbed me another apple fritter.

"Of course, it's not like we can lift heavy objects with just the field alone, but our front hooves are extra flexible, allowing us to grip around things with them, using the added force of the field to get an even better grip." Fluttershy added.

"Hmm.. I guess that makes sense, somehow." I mumbled, looking around for a clock, noticing that it had been almost one and a half hour now.

I was about to ask where Twilight was, seeing as she only talked about sending a letter and fetching some sort of elements, when she finally got back and burst through the door.

"That's the uncivilized dragon right there!" She said, pointing a hoof at me.

"Uncivilized eh.." I mumbled, my frown quickly turning to a delightful smile.

"Why, if it isn't Miss Twilight! It is so good to see you again young lass! I was just enjoying a fine spread of delicious apple delicacies with young Miss AJ and Miss Fluttershy over here and you are more than welcome to join us, dear." I said in my best British accent before I took a sip of my apple juice.

Twilight stood there, totally slack jawed as four other ponies and Spike entered, most of them trying their hardest not to laugh.

One was a cyan blue pegasus pony with magenta eyes and a skittles hairdo and tail.

Behind her was a pure white unicorn pony, with a purple mane and tail that curled at the ends, she had azure eyes and I think she was wearing mascara.

Then there was the biggest pony I had ever seen.

This one had both a horn and wings and was white with a very slight pink tinge, her multi-colored mane and tail seemed to flow in some unknown breeze while her light magenta eyes was looking me over.

But.. Where the heck was the last one..? I know I saw it when they ent-!

Suddenly pink was all that filled my vision.

"HellotheremynameisPinkiePie!What'syours?areyounewinthearea*GASP!*thenwehavetothrowyouaparty!!" She said so fast that my eyes started spinning.

The pink blur was bouncing excitedly with her hind legs spread to each side of my own on the couch, using her front legs to hold my shoulders for support causing Angel to jump off and shoot her a glare, not that she saw it, with her face being mere centimeters from my own now, causing my panic attack to rear it's ugly head again.

This was way too close for comfort if you ask me, so I did the most natural thing.

Gave a yelp and jumped behind the couch, causing her to stumble down on the floor.

"Oh dear. Are you ok?" Fluttershy asked as she hovered ver and peeked over the couch along with AJ and the pink one.

"Yeah.. Just please get the pink fluff ball away from me! As much as I may have calmed down, I'm still not totally over the whole talking ponies deal yet, the last thing I need is one who intrudes on my personal space like that!" I told them.

At this, the pink ones fluffy raspberry pink mane seemed to deflate as tears formed in her cerulean eyes.

I didn't like where this was going, so I reached my arm out and patted her head.

"Please don't cry, I didn't mean to make you sad.. But please, I'll gladly talk with you, just keep a bit of distance until I get used to you. I need to take this at my own pace, ok?" I asked her.

This seemed to brighten her up as her hair poofed up to it's fluffy look from before.

"Okey-dokey-lokey~!" She said as she bounced back to the others.

I then peeked up over the couch.

"So.. I now know Fluttershy, AJ, Twilight, Spike and Pinkie.. Pie?" I started.

"But I don't know the names of Skittles, Marshmallow and Pegacorn McBreezy Mane." I said as i pointed my index claw at them respectively as i called their nicknames out.

Pinkie and Spike burst into laughter at the silly nicknames and even AJ, Twilight and Fluttershy had to stifle their giggles.

"Hey! What do you mean by Skittles!?" The cyan one asked.

"You know, Skittles, taste the rainbow." I told her.

At this she backed away and shot me a look of disgust.

"There's no way you'll be tasting this rainbow on our first meeting!"

"Wait.. What?" I took me a bit before I made the connection, causing me to faceclaw and let out a groan.

"I'm talking about the candy.. In my world we have these fruit drops that comes in every color of the rainbow, which is why the slogan is like that and with your mane and tail, you reminded me of it, hence Skittles." I told her matter-of-factly while giving her a shrug.

She eyed me for a bit, before visibly calming down a bit.

"Well, you got something right, part of my name IS Rainbow, Rainbow Dash! Fastest flyer in Equestria!" She said with as much gusto and pride as she could.

"I see.. And with Equestria, do you mean the entire world or just this country? I heard from Fluttershy that some ponies also refer to the entire world as Equestria" I asked her.

"I mean't the country here and I prefer to call this world Midgard. Having been room mates with a Griffin does that to you." She said.

"So you have griffins as well? Why do I even let it surprise me anymore..?" I said while faceclawing.

"One of you wouldn't happen to have an encyclopedia about all the creatures of this world? That way I can get the rest of my holy-shit-[Insert mythological being here]-excists-in-this-world!! shocks out of the way." I said with a laugh.

This time Pegacorn McBreezy Mane spoke up.

"I am glad to see that you can take the situation with some humor." She said, her voice had a calming effect on me, like a loving mothers tone.

"With how crazy this day has been, I came to the conclusion that panicking won't get me anywhere, so I might as well just laugh at the entire situation. Laughter is, after all, the best cure." I chuckled.

"That is a very good way of looking at it. After all, if you kept on being a possible threat to my little ponies, I'd have you dragged off to the dungeons in our castle until you calmed down." She said, shooting me a stern look that made me feel guilty for some reason.

"I sure wouldn't like that.. I have yet to be jailed for anything, so it being because I can't stop panicking over talking ponies and my new body would be pretty lame, I guess." I said and shrugged.

"Wait.. Our castle? You some sort of queen? I mean, the tiara and such tells me that you're not some nobody."

"That is almost correct. I am one of the two rulers of this land, Princess Celestia and I want to welcome you to this lovely world.. Also, I'm an Alicorn, in case you're wondering." She said, giving me a warm smile.

"I see.. Thank you for your kindness, Princess." I said, rising up and giving her a bow.

My height caused the four new ponies to gasp a little.

I was easily a head higher than the Princess, if I could stretch out to my full height in here that is.

The Marshmallow then decided to speak up.

"I must say darling, for somepony who insists that he's not a dragon, you look absolutely draconic to me." She said in what I could best describe as a posh accent.

"Heh.. So you heard about that, eh? And one thing's for sure, I wasn't a dragon when I looked myself in the mirror this morning before going off to work.. If it was this morning. It feels like something is missing." I told them.

"It'll probably return at some point." I said and shrugged

"Oh? And what do one such as yourself work with, if you don't mind me asking, darling. I must admit that I'm curious to hear what one such as yourself do for a living." She asked.

"I worked at a laboratory, just as a paper pusher in the office section, my career kind of died when I went against the owners son.. But that's not a story I'm gonna bore you with right now. I just remember that today or whatever day it was, was supposed to be the day of some big top secret experiment.. The last thing I remember clearly was signing some papers and then there was this big blinding flash, some voices and suddenly a falling feeling.. And that's when I woke up here." I finished.

She seemed to be taking it all in, along with the rest of the gang.

"Does that sate your curiosity, Miss..?"

She snapped out of it and blushed a little.

"Oh! Where are my manners. My name is Rarity. Owner of Ponyville's center of fashion! The Carousel Boutique, where every garment is chic, unique and magnifique!" She said.

"I see, so I take it that we're in Ponyville? And It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance Miss Rarity." I said, giving a slight bow.

"Oh my~! We have a real gentlecolt here." She giggled.

"I do try~!" I said, letting out a little chuckle.

Rainbow Dash then cleared her throat.

"Well then, gentlecolt, why don't you give us your name then, it's only the most gentlecoltly thing to do, right?" She said, giving me a smirk.

"Ah yes, nearly slipped my mind, thanks for the reminder Miss Dash."

"My name is Dracen Black, I'm 26 and hail from the artificial island nation of Draconica, where I lived and worked." I finished.

At this, Twilight decided to speak up.

"Wait a minute! Artificial Islands? How can an island be artificial? I think you're pulling our legs Mr. Black!" She said, shooting me a glare.

I just shook my head and let out a sigh.

"Please.. Call me Dracen.. Mr. Black was my late father. and an artificial island is a man made island out in the ocean," I began as I picked up my now dead iPod, "If only my iPod wasn't cracked like this, I could show you some pictures of the islands.." I said, looking at the huge crack in the screen.

Twilight eyes lit up at this bit of information.

"Don't think you can get away from this! If it's just broken, a simple Fix-It spell should be enough and then i can proove that you're full of it!" She said, shooting the device in my hand with a beam from her horn as the display mended itself back to it's former glory.

If my eyes could pop out of my head, they most likely would.

"Magic.. I'll never get used to it." I mumbled.

I hurried up and powered it on, seeing my lock screen, I smiled, happy to see it alive and well again.

But when I tried sliding it with my claw, I made a nice big scratch in the screen again.

"Umm.. I think you'd better keep that beam up and running, every swipe with my claws ruins the screen again" I said as I walked over to the group, followed by Fluttershy and AJ and sat down so that they could all watch the screen.

Spike tried to look at it as well, but was a tad too short, so I lifted him up on my other shoulder, Angel seemingly having taken permanent residence on the other

This time, however, a golden beam hit my iPod and Princess Celestia spoke up.

"I have used a more powerful version of the Fix-It spell that will make it fix itself from now on, so that every time it's damaged, it will return to how it was when you got it." She explained.

This was great news, since if it meant what I thought, it would also have infinite power now.

I tried swiping across the screen again and just as she said, it fixed itself instantaneously.

Still, it was a tad too small to navigate with my big claws now.

"You wouldn't happen to have an enlargement spell for it? It's a tad hard to hit the right icons with these big claws." I asked.

Another beam hit it and it grew to twice the size of before. Sure, everything was a bit more pixelated now, But I don't mind if it means that i can use it again.

"Can you do it with these as well?" I asked, holding up the earbuds, "Just this part." I said, showing her the jack plug.

Another beam hit it and it grew as well, now fitting perfectly in the port.

"Awesome~! Now I can listen to my music again. Thank you." I Said, smiling from ear to ear.

"So, yer tellin' me that the weird device there can play music as well?" AJ asked.

"Yeah, I even have the songs you heard me singing on it, if you want to hear them with actual music and not just my humming. But first I'd better show those pictures to Miss Twilight." I said and tried swiping across the screen.

Seeing that it worked perfectly now, even for one with claws, I quickly made my way to my photo album, the ponies and dragon behind me gaping at what was happening on the weird device in my palm.

I then found the pictures taken from the flight when we arrived there, a multitude of smaller islands, connected by bridges, which all lead to a big island in the middle that was pretty much one giant building all of them together looking like the shape of a dragon when seen from above.

"This is the Artificial Island Nation of Draconica! They started building it almost sixteen years ago now as a joint effort between America and Japan, when a mysterious energy source was detected in the middle of the pacific ocean which is between the two. That was back in 1996." I told them as I continued switching to pictures of the town I lived in and it's surrounding areas, showing them all the humans going about their daily lives on the islands.

I instantly stopped when I saw a group picture of ten humans in white lab coats and pointed to the tallest one in the middle of the group, he had long red hair tied in a ponytail and deep blue eyes.

"That tall oaf right there, that's me," I said, as the ponies gasped and wowed at my human form, I then zoomed in so they could get a better look, "Not the prettiest one in the litter, but I manage to live with it." I said with a chuckle.

"What are ya talking about? From all them humans there, I'd say yer the best looking one!" AJ said, getting some looks from the other ponies.

"What? Ah mean it, look at 'em! They all have the same boring dark manes, an' pretty much look the same. At least Dracen 'ere looks different with his red mane and tall build." She said in a matter-of-factly tone.

I chuckled a little, before turning to meet her green eyes.

"Thank you, AJ. Unfortunately, I'm no longer a human, instead I'm a king sized fire breathing Lizard, but eh.. I'll manage." I said, flashing them all a smile.

I moved on, showing pictures of my friends and I partying and being silly.

"Oh! I also have some video recordings from my life on the island." I said, moving over to the video section.

A few drunk weekends in moving pictures later, followed by laughs from the ponies over our stupid behaviors, I then turned to Twilight.

"So, Miss Twilight. Do you believe me now? Or do you need further image and video proof?" I asked, shooting her a smirk.

She looked away, giving me a sheepish smile.

"Yeah.. I'm sorry for not trusting you.. But you must admit that you would probably have been the same way if you were in my place." She said.

"Of course and I would probably have been worse, but it's fine. Apology acce-!"

*SLAM!*

The door burst open as a white pegasus pony in a golden armor burst into the room.

"P-Princess! *Gasp!* We have *Wheeze!* Important information *Cough!* From the surveillance team!" He sputtered.

"Easy now. Breathe and then we'll talk." The Princess said.

Having taken a few deep breaths, he finally calmed down enough to speak properly.

"As I was saying. The pegasi surveillance team spotted a mysterious new island formation in the Bridle Shores, east of Hoofington and south of Canterbury! They also took a picture from the air." He said as he took a map out of his saddlebag, which he rolled out on the floor, pointing a hoof to a big red circle marking the place.

I took some time to study the map and saw that it was roughly 200KM from Ponyville.

The guard then found the picture and showed it to us.

My eyes instantly narrowed at what I saw.

"Draconica!? But how did it end up out there, when I got thrown all the way over here!?" I said, pointing to Ponyville.

"Maybe fate has something in store for you Dracen." Princess Celestia said.

I let out a sigh from the bottom of my very being.

"In that case, I'd like to burn Fate's house down..." I grumbled.

*SLAM!*

Another armored pony burst in.

"The heck is this, burst-through-the-door day?" I asked him.

"Aaargh!! Another Dragon!? Get behind me Princess! I'll protect you from this vile beast!" He shouted, pointing a spear at me.

I decided to do something I usually don't and ripped the spear out of his hoof before punching him in the face causing all the ponies to gasp in unison.

"The hell are you calling a vile beast? And where the bloody hell are your manners!? One does not just wander in and start pointing weapons at another person! Punk!" I growled.

He got back up and shot me a glare.

"I'm positive that you're one of those dragon freaks friends as well! Probably stalling for time while waiting for your friend to get here so that you can both attack us all!" He shouted.

I shook my head and poked him in the chest armor.

"Listen here, bub! I've not even been a dragon for an entire day! The first thing I remember from this world, is waking up in this room! I've been trapped inside a barrier and been under surveillance the entire time! Now. Do you still have some sort of clever way I could have done what you're accusing me of? Huh!?" I said, poking him with each word I spoke, making a dent in his armor each time.

He shrank back and was about to open his mouth again when we heard a loud roar just outside.

Fluttershy fainted like a goat and the other ponies turned to look after her.

I just threw my iPod over on the couch before bursting out of the front door, ripping it off of its hinges.

__________

What I saw was pure nightmare fuel.

It looked like a freakish attempt at merging a human with a dragon through the usage of a powerful acid.

A mix of human skin and violet scales overlapping each other, gross veins pumping under it's skin.

It was at least twice my size, it's arms thick as logs and it's hair receding on the more draconic areas of his scalp, the rest being short and brown.

His mouth was wide and full of sharp teeth.

Wings bigger than mine on his back and violet spikes running down his back.

I quickly recognized the human part of it.

"No.. Jake! What happened to you!?" I yelled, getting it's attention

When it saw me, it's eyes started glowing red.

"DrACeN! You TRaIToR!! yoU BEtRAyEd uS ALl! FOr yOuR SInS yoU MuST DIE!!" He growled, venomous hatred dripping from his every word.

"No.. This can't be true!"

AN:
So yeah, here's my third fic ever.
Sixteen, my ever helpful pre-reader and brainstorming partner said that we needed more fics with Humans in Equestria being Draconified.
So it inspired me to write this fic.
And i must admit, I really enjoyed writing this and hope that you all enjoyed reading it as well.
