I make a discovery that every single cat has been transformed into ponies overnight from a senior prank pulled off after waking up at a house I was staying at.

I wake up one day after a nice re-tour of the house I’ll be staying at once more and seem that I can’t find Rusty anywhere.  It seems he’d ran off looking for his food or waiting for me to open the door so I could let him out.

I pack my three packages of pop-tarts, at least that’s better for you than school lunch nowadays, altogether and just as I went to grab my book bag, I see the door wide open.  That’s strange.  I could’ve sworn Greg closed it.  It’s clear in my memory.  But, really, who gives a fang?  I make sure the door’s closed after I exit carrying my book bag, lunch and umbrella all together.  It’s going to be a rainy day out, so I might as well bring my source of mobile shelter.

After my walk back I fill the food and water dish fresh with a new meal.  I set down my backpack and umbrella and got straight to my new assignments.  “I wonder what senior prank was played this year,” I tell my curious self.  By now, I probably would’ve heard a meow but nothing.  I hold my ear at my palm to be certain there’s a meow but still nothing, or so I thought.

Within thirty seconds, I didn’t hear meowing but I did hear something else, muffled noise.  Around here, muffled noises are pretty usual, but not as worried as this muffled noise.  It seems to’ve been saying on the lines of, “what is that”, “what’s that noise” or “oh my gosh”.  I stopped everything I was doing and darted toward the direction the muffled questions were coming from.

But as I went to the front yard after exiting from the back, I noticed a something very orange and tall.  I’ve heard fanfictions where certain people turn into ponies themselves, but never had I read one of meeting a random pony out of no where.  He doesn’t even look like he’s a character from Friendship is Magic, just an original character.  There certainly was no sign of an idea for the senior prank this year.  Wait, could this be it?  Was the senior prank that they brought ponies of Friendship is Magic here?  I wonder.  Only one way to find out.

“Hey there.”  Wait.  Orange coat.  That’s familiar.  And those green eyes.  They look a lot like Rusty’s.  He actually has wings now, as well as a cutie mark.  The orange stallion waves a hoof to me, and somehow, I can’t help but break out in a smile.  “What’s your name?”  “Wind Rust,” says the stallion.  Wow.   It’s almost as if that’s Rusty.  “Wait, Wind Rust?”  Wind Rust just nods.

“Well, I’ve been looking for a cat that was just here last night.”  I think I’d said enough now.  For at that moment, Wind Rust hangs his head and his ears sink.  This has to be Rusty.  His coat, his eyes, his reaction to what I’d been doing in the morning.  “Well, when I woke up this morning, I poured a fresh meal for the cat and he-” I was interrupted by a sudden sound of disgust coming from Wind Rust.

“So I guess you tried it?”  “Yeah, not good at all.”  It feels so weird to have a former cat, now a pony actually interacting with me instead of a blank face or at least a purr.  Neither of those exist now.  But I’m just playing it safe, assuming that it’s NOT Rusty.  But I can’t help it.

I wonder how Eve is now that Rusty’s now a pony.

Wind Rust has been feeling so much better since Monday and he’s gotten used to flying a lot more.  And so has Tail Flight.  Now, Mom’s gone and we now live by my oldest brother’s rules, that is at home.  At greg’s I can really do some recording.  I’ve been here writing this while I get a good plan ahead.  I jogged again from here to my house and back today, and I’m possibly going to be feeling my thighs again.  That’s the reason I didn’t write yesterday.

Back to today, I had to gather up whatever I can so I could go get an extra loaf of bread as well as some peanut butter and jelly just for Wind Rust.  By now, I would’ve forgotten Wind Rust was a cat just half a week ago.  It doesn’t matter.

I’m actually excited for my plans this weekend.  I’ll be jogging over home so I could have a pancake breakfast there, especially since Tail Flight’s diet’s expanded along with Wind Rust’s so I’ll they could have pancakes.  I think after that, I’d be able to find me a good time to jog and rest before a practice regents comes up.  Yep.  This early.  My time to shine had always been in exams since my midterms went so well so long ago.

But sorry if this is a little short.  If it’s bothersome, don’t worry, It’ll be better when I tell how the practice regents and the night before went.

Sure enough, plans had to rattle.  I totally forgot that Wind Rust and Tail Flight could manipulate the weather now.  When I let Wind Rust out he just flew higher and higher.  JUst like that, the sun started peeking out of the cloudy day yesterday.  My brothers say I shouldn’t let Tail Flight out, but I let her anyway.  Once again, she just kept flying higher and higher.

But as they got back, the weather got worse again.  There happened to be a flash flood warning here, so all of us had to be inside and I had to spend the night here.  Thankfully, I got a revised soundfont out on YouTube.

Not even the practice regents went exactly how I planned it.  I happened to get a ride up to school for the practice regents, so I guess that’s quicker than jogging there.  I’m not allowed to bring my phone in school anyway, so we made a quick pit stop to put my phone on the charger and set some music for Wind Rust to listen to.  However, the practice regents wasn’t at twelve.  It was 11.

Is it true?  That I’ve loved Wind Rust and Tail Flight more now than ever before?  Is there more than one way to find out?  I guess so.  I’ve been happier now with real pegasi than I have when they were cats instead.  The new abilities still stun me to this day.

If you think going out once for a meal is occasional, try two in a row.  Not only did my oldest brother take us all out to eat, but I got to have pizza for lunch in school, and not the horrible pizza they serve in the cafeteria.

When I get back home, I get some water and get to making my first Brony Night Saturday Night song out into a video to post onto YouTube.  Not just that, but I saw something completely unaccomplished by any cat even if they were only prior by a week.  Tail Flight earned her cutie mark.  I wouldn’t be able to believe it but it happened.  Now, she’s kind of confused but once I explained it to her, she get excited.

One week later and everything went completely right.  It was worth my time when Wind Rust and Tail Flight gave me a little advice when jogging.  It’s getting hotter so I took the tips seriously.  The past week, I aimed to jog to school and back to Greg’s without my backpack and decided to stop for a cold shower instead of the ones I take in the winter.

Not only that, but I cleaned my locker out completely the past two days.  It’s completely empty now and I’m not allowed to go to it now.  All I could do it go to the resource room and take the test.  Thankfully I got the test done on time.

It got bad on Wednesday night.  I thought it would’ve been too bad out to go to school.  From curb to curb, the entire street was flooded.  Wind Rust would’ve wanted me to stay home but when I woke up the next morning, it wasn’t that bad out.

Tail Flight was also pretty scared.  Thankfully, the water’s still running at both houses.  I apparently had gotten the year wrong on a BGM on one of my videos getting myself a TPC claim.  I think everything’s going to be fine now.  Except now, I wonder what’s going to happen.  I’m not sure, but I feel like time will run out soon for Wind Rust and Tail Flight.  The later on it gets within the month, the more the thought arises and I get increasingly worried.

I know it’s not my job to worry about others but I’ve grown to love these two so much.  I don’t know whether it’s a simple arrival of a certain cross country traveller entering the New York border will cause a poof and the ponies are back to their feline selves, gone for good or if Princess Celestia comes and takes them over to Equestria for their lives.  All I can do is wait.

The previous day, I found that Eve was also a pegasus.  This is something that’s going to be a thing now right?  Cats I know still around are now ponies.  I guess Sammo actually exists now in the real world like the pegasus in my show I’m making.

Yesterday, I heard so much crashing at home that I thought Eve was at it again.  This time, she was not only at it, but she was flying, and screaming!  Oh, great.  Now I got a certain fan thing in my head seeing how Eve used to be “a cat or something”.  Is it normal for pegasi just to recklessly crash through the house, especially an apartment?

Her apparent name was Tail Flight.  Seems to make sense.  Finding a penny with tails on top is just a superstition like black cats.  Eve also does seem to go fast enough to fly flawlessly.  Her eyes also green, black coat and white mane and tail, for some reason, seems to fit her even more as a pegasus than it did as a cat.

Back to today, I talk with Wind Rust a bit after school about what happened when I was home before I show him music as a pegasus, ready to hum some of the tunes I showed him back when he was a cat.  Homework was also a breeze today too.  Wind Rust is starting to talk more, getting used to his new voice and mouth.

I go back home to take the recycling down and actually having someone to talk to while I do my chores is quite reassuring with Tail Flight, previously Eve.  By now, Tail Flight’s starting to talk as well.  I figure if Tail Flight’s going to be talking, I might as well be the person to talk to her.

Back to the house I’m staying, I get myself a cup of Diet W Up finally grabbing myself some supper with my one loaf of bread as well as peanut butter and jelly.  Rust Wind wanted to grab some too, so I just made four instead of two.

YouTube’s finally becoming of it’s own greatness.  I got my final cover of My Forever Love up last night and even posted my final cover of Vola e Vai tonight.  So far, no video takedowns.  I guess I have such a little corner of YouTube that it’s practically unnoticeable.  At this point, I just really thank all that I’m not a victim of mandatorily watching an episode to teach me about what I already know.

I decide to get my work done when I arrive back at school, and get it done quickly.  Aside from that, nothing unusual after I got back.  I also finally get to bed at ten for the first time since last week.
