Transformation II (First Draft)

“Now I attack you with my monster called exodia and you lose the duel!” I said to Noah.

“No!” he said pretending to fall to the ground as he is losing life points.

Lily was making the life point noises and said, “Zero!”

“That was a great duel you really fought well.” I said holding out a hoof to him.

“Yeah, how did you get all the pieces?” he asked.

“With my shuffling skills and card effects.”

“Is that cheating?” Lily asked.

“No it is not.” I said.

We were in our room that we shared together and we have been going through our dads stuff and about a month ago we found these Yu-Gi-Oh! Cards and we were stunned by the monsters in the cards, spells and traps. When we showed them to dad he taught us and even wrote a rule book in case one of us makes a mistake. The cards in his pack held about seven decks, each one with its own style.

Now we are playing as pros and Celestia was watching us laying on our bed. I glanced at her looking at her belly. I wonder what kind of cousin we will be getting.

“Alright Lily you get a different deck and verse Noah alright?” I asked her.

“Yay! It’s my turn! If I win you will go to the shadow realm!” she shouted.

“You are on!” Noah said.

I walked to Celestia and jumped on the bed with her, “Feeling tired Aunt Celestia?”

“Yes, baring a child takes a lot of energy from you.” She said.

“Was mom the same way when we were inside her?” I asked.

She yawned, “Oh, yes. At times she had to drink about three cups of coffee to stay up to rise and set the moon then your uncle discord took over until she was done.”

“Now Discord is rising and setting the moon and sun?” I asked.

“You sure are asking a lot of questions today. Are you missing your parents?” she asked.

“A little, but I know they will return.” I said.

“That is good and yes Discord is taking care of our jobs and he likes it, but sometimes he wants to do his own things.”

“You might say he is a troublemaker?”

“Oh, he is still a troublemaker. Sometimes when he raises the sun she doodles a face on the sun and moon, but returns it the next day.”

I lied my head on her belly. It was soft, warm and fuzzy. I could hear another heartbeat inside and me lying next to another living being really makes me wonder what children I am going to have… ‘C’mon Grace you have a full life to live for.’ Someone said in my head.

“Who was that?” I asked.

“I won!” Noah said.

“Oh, well to the shadow realm for me!” said Lily falling to the ground and making playful grunts.

Aunt Celestia looked at me, “Who was what, Grace?”

‘Maybe it was my imagination.’ I thought then I got a reply for what I thought, ‘It is not you imagination.’

“Uh… Nothing Aunt Celestia. I need to go to the bathroom.” I said sprinting towards the toilet.

Yes I said toilet Dad made the toilets and mom taught us how to use them. So we were “Potty trained”. Nothing to be embarrassed about and nothing to be ashamed of. I was inside my stall and was breathing heavily. I calmed down and was now breathing regularly.

‘Who are you?’ I asked in my head.

‘I am a friend. If you want me too.’ He said.

It was a male who was in my head. Did I eat too many cookies? Or candy? If so I got to lay off.

‘It is not the cookies or candy you ate.’ He said.

‘What is your name? Mine is Grace.’

‘My name is-’ then he shouted in pain and he seemed to grow smaller.

‘Is everything alright?’

‘I do not remember who I am or how I got here?’

‘You mean you are not part of my head.’

There was a silence then he answered, ‘Yes.’

‘Are you my conscious?’

‘I believe so.’

‘Could I give you a name?’

‘Of course you can.’

Alright I have a conscious! I can even name it. What was that little guys name in Pinocchio? Was it Jim?

“I will call you Jim.” I said a loud.

‘Thank you grace.’

‘No problem. Now can you go…? I need to do business.’

‘Whatever you command miss.’ He said disappearing.

After relieving myself, I made my way to the room, but there was a shout in the distance. It sounded like Twilight.

“We need medical Attention here!” she shouted.

Is Daddy back from his trip? Twilight would not be here if he came back. I started to trot towards Twilight, but was stopped by a pony was covered over with a sheet. I heard a groaning noise and I walked towards Twilight.

“Is everything alright Twilight?” I asked.

She looked at me with sorrow eyes wanting to cry. I wonder what could be going through her head.

Then she finally spoke, “I do not want to say anything that would hurt you. I want to ask you, where is your mother?”

“I believe she is training the humans in the orb, but we are not allowed to go down there unless we have permission.” I said.

“Would you show me the way? As Princess of Friendship, you have my permission.” She said.

I was compliant to her because Lily, Noah and I respect her for who she is and our friendship is between us siblings is stronger. I took her to the orb room and she was looking at several miniature humans and Luna going fast inside the orb and I was amazed by that.

“When do they get out?” she asked.

“I think the next day will be the third day. Then they will be out.” I said.

“Who told you this?” she asked.

“Uh… Dad told me. Duh!” I said.

Twilight hung her head and I said, “Are you alright?”

“I am alright, I need to ask if you have been experiencing anything weird lately?” she asked.

I thought about telling about the voice in my head, but decided not to and shook my head in answer.

“Are you sure.” She said double checking.

“Yes, Twilight I am sure that I have not experienced anything weird.” I said.

“Good.” She said.

She led me out of the orb room to the hospital area of the castle. We were about to go in, but she stopped me.

“Before you go in, I need to go in first. Can you sit right there?” she asked.

“Alright.” I said.

I have no idea what she is going to do, but I guess I had to wait until she comes back. Who was that pony surrounded by the sheet? It felt familiar, the scent smelled like dad… Wait.

“Dad?!” I shouted running into the door.

“Grace!” Twilight shouted.

“Dad?! Why are you-?” I stopped in my tracks.

There lies a green pony who was barely breathing. He was being analyzed by the nurses. Half of his body was severely burnt. Half of his face was recognizable, but the other side was unrecognizable.

I started to tear up, “D-Daddy?”

I walked backwards in fear. By body was shaking, my head was spinning. Then one question came out of Jim that made me faint, ‘Is your father going to die?’
