Walk a Mile In My Horseshoes

        Discord gives me a wide smile. “Well, I think you have just given yourself a rather good use.” He grabs my arm as he summons a large, glowing sphere of light, something I assumed was a portal. “Oh the chaos we will cause together!” He pulls me into the light-sphere, confirming my suspicions of it being a portal. Most likely to Equestria. I begin explaining my plan as we float through the space between dimensions.

“Okay, once we are in Equestria, you’re gonna need to turn me into a pony. Then you need to stay hidden. I will befriend the main 6, and find a way to separate them.”

        Discord looks at me, practically tearing up. “A man after my own heart!” The portal brings us to the heart of what I assume to be the Everfree at night. I look around, trees limit my vision considerably. I hear the sounds of all the wildlife. A deep roar from what I assume to be a manticore, the chirps of many a species of bird. The smell was damp and, well, smelly. I could smell all the feces, the unwashed feral creatures. You could smell the rotting carcass of some poor animal who probably fell prey to a manticore or an ursa minor. Overall, it was amazing. I was in Equestria, a place I have (and every other brony for that matter) only dreamed of being.

        “Welcome to Equestria, human! Now, you may want to bite something.” Discord exclaims with a snap of his fingers. “What?” A cracking pain shoots through my body, my physical form being considerably altered. “GAH, FUCK!” My skull is being reformed, my face elongated, all this giving me a terrible rattling headache. I feel my legs cracking, my knees snapping backwards, my toes retracting back into my foot while the bones shoot through and reform into hooves. I feel the same happening to my arms, my elbows flipping through to the other side, my fingers merging together forming a flat end, again the bones forming into hooves. At this point I am no longer able to stand, and I am on all fours. I feel a tail growing from the bottom of my spine, easily the least painful part of the transformation, as a light-blue coat of hair begins to cover all of my body.

        “Ugh...” I say as I shake of the soreness from the transformation. “Wait, if you could have came back anytime you wished, why didn’t you earlier?” I ask, curious. At this, Discord begins to hang upside down from a tree branch. “My dear Byron. Where do you think I learned of the great glory of chaos?” He flips around onto the ground, directly in front of me. “Humans. Even now you hatch plans to help chaos prevail.”

        I chuckle. “Yeah, Earth isn’t exactly the most harmonic of places. Now, which way to Ponyville?” Discord smiles devilishly as he magically pulls aside some brush and foliage, revealing Ponyville. “It’s right through there. When you enter, I’m sure you’ll meet a hyper pink pony. I trust you’ll know what to do?”

        “Of course I do.” I say confidently, looking at Discord. “Go ahead and have some fun. This may take a while. I’ll come get you when it’s time.” At this, I turn and walk towards Ponyville. “Humans...” Discord says as he laughs quietly. “The perfect creatures....”

        Ponyville. The most amazing place I have ever been to. But that’s probably because I’ve only dreamed of being here. Until now that is. I look around, everything is so beautiful. So... peaceful, so... harmonic. I continue to walk through the town, marvelling at everything I thought I could only see in dreams. Ponies walk the street carrying idle conversation and helping each other out. Every single pony is just so friendly, happy, and carefree. I laugh quietly as I see the pony we know as Derpy knock over another pony and quickly apologize and help him up. I d’aww on the inside as I see a little filly playing peek-a-boo with her mother. Everything is just so perfect here, I never want to leave.

        “My Pinkie Sense is tingling... My eye is twitching? My left hoof is stiff? That can only mean... A NEW PONY!” Pinkie Pie darts through Ponyville, looking for whoever the new pony could be. She stops when she sees a light-blue Earth pony with a short black mane and tail. That must be him! She darts up to the pony, stopping just a few inches in front of him. “HIYA!” Pinkie blurts out, highly ecstatic at the presence of a new friend. “Ummm... hi?” He retorts, clearly caught somewhat off-guard. This is quite a strange anomaly indeed. I have never observed this equine before, nor does he seem to have any luggage. Perhaps a visitor? Further information is required. “I’m Pinkie Pie! What’s your name?”

The sight of Pinkie Pie being directly in front of me triggered my inner fanboy. OMIGODOMIGODMIGOD! Okay, keep calm. SHIT! I didn’t think of a pony name! Okay, what’s my cutie mark? I look to my flank ever-so-slightly to catch a glimpse of my cutie mark, as it appears to be a silver tongue. “Uhh, I am... Silver Tongue.” Wow. Real creative Byron.

Quite fascinating, he obviously is lying but I can't be so sure. I should try to observe him in a social environment and study his actions so that I can pinpoint his weaknesses...but how? “You must be new here because I-” The pink party pony cuts herself off with a huge gasp. A PERFECT PLAN! I need time to prepare! Pinkie bolts away in a puff of smoke and becomes a pink blur as she darts through Ponyville again to prepare for her plan.

Great... now there’s gonna be a party. I continue walking through Ponyville, taking in everything I can. A Pinkie Pie party no less.

“Awesome!”
