Reversed Roles

I was lying on the back seats of the Explorer listening to music with my blue and white soundproof headphones. Jero was sitting in the driver’s seat wearing black and grey clothes. We were waiting for a friend named Lance Greenfield; we are all going to go on a camping trip in the Oak Nut National Forest. We had been planning this for 2 months and today was the day we leave. But, we have been sitting here for 15 minutes and Lance still hasn't come out of his house, how long does it take for a guy to pack? Jero was tapping his fingers on the steering wheel impatiently, "Where the hell is he?!" Jero mumbled to himself.

I started to mix my music that I was listening to with a music mixing app I bought on my iPad some days ago. I heard a door close and Lance was at the driver’s side window, "Hey... sorry I kept you guys for so long." Lance said out of breath.
"It's fine, but get in! It’s a two hour drive to the camp site and I don't want to get there in the dark," Jero explained.

Lance smiled and laughed, "Dude, don't get your panties in a knot."

Jero rolled his eyes as Lance approached the back of the Explorer. With a loud THUMP the trunk door was closed and Lance climbed into the passenger seat. Jero put the Explorer in gear and we headed down the road to the freeway entrance. After a while, Lance started to get restless, the car has been silent for over an hour and a half.

"So Alexander... where is your friend Austin?" Lance asked curiously.

I sat up and started to lean on the car door, "He's on a two month vacation in Hawaii, said he couldn't make it."

"Lucky Bastard!" we all said in unison. We all soon laughed after that.

I grabbed my bag and opened the front pocket and pulled out a portable mini bass speaker, "Hey guys, check this out."
Lance turned around in his seat, "What's up?"

"I got this portable bass from BrookStone yesterday, it has really good sound. Want to hear?"

Lance shrugged, "Sure, why not?"

I smiled and plugged in the bass and played the song 'Atomizer'. The bass shook the whole car to the beat of the music. I started to bob my head to the beast and I started to sing.
"Why am I always slept on, dremt on, napped upon
when honestly I'm probably something of a prodigy
I discord harmony there is no apology
wanna shine like a wonderbolt strike like a thunderbolt

Changeling demonic explosive and atomic when
I sonic rainbomb it come and try to stop it
I'll have you running back in like ten seconds flat
then you drop off the map right off the bat

how can you mange eruptions so savage
blasts so massive kilotons of damage
try to stop the madness I didn't really plan this
and now you wanna know who the hell this man is

I'm elements compressed, stressed and repressed
you can all take a rest if that's your best guess
Now I digress to let me suggest
In a lyrical mess, that here's what I am

fires will be blazing shocking tasing
no respiration
allow me to educate and elevate the mental status of those
that wanna hate us and they'll be hay to pay

as I incinerate eliminate and decimate
those that take an opportunity to hate on a community
that's spreading love and unity and oppose a show
of which they know nothing trolls aren't cunning

I'm a lyrical miracle monster tearing the buildings and stars up
whenever a star struts like he's walking in Canterlot
disappointed in me like damn that's all he's got
jumping off topic every pony's mocking

situation atomic and I'll explode and expose
and it's just to let em know that I'm no disappointment
these dreams that I'm voicing are all my choices
but I'm just a fellow and I'd like to say hello..."

"Wow Alexander," Jero said impressed. "You’re a really good singer."

"Thanks... I do my best."

Lance was shaking his head, "Man! That bass was fucking awesome! That little thing shook the whole car."

I chuckled, "Yeah, this little guy is good."

"But I know something even better you guys," Jero said happily.

"What?"

"We’re here!" Jero announced. Jero turned right and started to drive on a dirt road. The car started to rock, jump, and bump all around. Jero drove over a rock which caused Lance to hit his head on the roof of the car, "The fuck Jero!" he shouted.

I started to laugh, "Sorry dude," Jero said.

I continued to laugh until Jero went over another rock which made my head hit the roof, "Fuck man!"

Lanced started to laugh. Jero turned left and we entered the campsite, Jero parked the car and pulled out the key and got out. Lance got out next then I followed, I put my headphones back on and played the song 'Beyond Her Tomb'. . Lance opened the trunk and pulled out his stuff, Jero grabbed the tent as I grabbed my things and closed the trunk. I walked over to the fire pit and I laid out my things, Jero and Lance were setting up the tent. After a half an hour of hammering and cursing the tent was finally up.

Jero walked over to me, he looked concerned, "Hey Alex, can I ask you something?'

I took off my headphones and hung them around my neck, "what’s eatin' you Jero?

He sat down next to me and looked at the forest that surrounded us, "Does this forest look familiar to you at all?"

I raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"

"Well... I think we've seen this forest somewhere before, but I can't put my finger on it."

I shook my head, "The long drive must be going to your head." I patted him on the back, "Some rest will do you some good."

I lie back on my DJ-PON3 sleeping bag and put my headphones back on, 'The Bomb' started to play on my headphones. Lance walked over carrying a bunch of wood, and I finally got a good look at him. He had black hair with a patch of hair dyed red; he wore black clothes and boots.

Lance started to set up the wood in the fire pit. I sat up, "Lance... why are you dressed as a punk?"

Lance chuckled, "I dress like this to impress a girl." He turned to me, "What about you? You look like a Techno."

I was wearing a blue jacket with a white T-shirt that had 'Treble' and 'Bass' written on it, I had blue and white shoes and I wore blue shades plus I dyed my hair blue. "Really, techno?" I chuckled. I stood up and grabbed the box of matches, "I'm not a Techno, and you’re not a punk, agreed?"

"Agreed."

I struck a match and threw it on top of the wood, it took a while but the wood caught on fire. I grabbed my sleeping bag and threw it into the tent. I sat on a log around the fire pit with Jero and Lance beside me. I sighed, "Well... we're here."
They nodded. I started to play the song 'Rize Of The Fenix'. After about 4 hours of doing nothing Jero threw a bucket of water on the fire and we headed into the giant tent. I slipped into my DJ PON-3 sleeping bag and rested my head on a Vinyl Scratch pillow that I brought from home.

Lance yawned loudly, "Night guys."

"Night," Jero and I said in unison.

I closed my eyes and started to listen to 'Down to Earth'.

*****

"No... Get off of me... what the... Don't bring that horse in here... no, oh no... Please no... NO!"

"Hello Lance."

"Wha-... The fu-... Who are you? What the hell is happening? Or was happening?"

"You were reliving a bad memory."

"Wait... What... Who are you?"

"I am God."

"HA! Yeah right!!"

"Do you still want to go?"

"Maybe, maybe not... I don't even know what you’re talking about."

"Yes or no?"

"Fine, yes... Is this for real? I bet you’re not even the real God."

"Well then, you'll go now but things will change for you and your friends."

"Yeah like what... Where did you go?!... Fuck."

*****

I yawned and rubbed my eyes and check my watch, 6:35 am, why the fuck am I awake? I put my headphones back on that seemed to have slipped off in the night and laid my head back down. I turned to my right to see a horse besides me sleeping. My eyes grew wide, don't scream don't scream!!! I screamed and covered my mouth, I don't scream like a girl! The horse woke up followed by another one walking up beside it. I then notice that they weren't horse but ponies, and worst of all they were mares! One of them was light blue with red stripes like a zebra. I t had flat black and red mane. I looked at the other one, it was black and had black and blue hair, and they were both pegasi.

"The fuck, the fuck, the fuck, the fuck!!" I mumbled, scared shitless.

The blue one rubbed her eyes, "What the fuck! Do you know what time it is!?!" She stopped rubbing her eyes and they were red and reptilian. I backed up to the farthest part of the tent and started to panic.

"What the fuck?" They took a good look at me and then look at themselves and screamed. "Alex? Alex is that you?!"

"L-Lance?!" I shouted.

"Alex!?" screamed the black one.

"Jero?!"

There was a long pause before we all started to scream. "How the fuck?!" Jero shouted. "I'm a girl, you’re a girl, Lance is a girl! What the fuck happened!!!"

I'M A GIRL!! I looked myself over, I was a white mare with blue striped hair and I was a unicorn. "How did this happen?!?" I screamed.

"I don't know!!" Lance yelled.

I felt myself begin to tear up and we all hugged each other and screamed in unison, "WE'RE FUCKED!!!"

"Wait!" sniffed Jero. "I mean... It can't be all bad right? Where in Equestria it's mare based."

Lance and I started to calm down, "Right," I sniffed. "I mean, worst come to worst we might have to be gay."
We looked at each other and shrugged. I walked over to the tent door, "L-Lets find out shall we...," I said nervously. I unzipped the tent door and walked out of the tent, Lance and Jero soon followed. We walked to the edge of the forest which then we saw Ponyville, our jaws dropped as are hope was lost.

"We're..." I started.

"... Totally..." continued Jero.

"... FUCKED!" Lance screamed.

Jero soon fainted as Lance and I stayed frozen to the spot. We saw a purple stallion trot over to us. As soon as he was standing in front of us Lance fainted as I felt wobbly in the knees.

"Why hello there, my name is Dusk Shine," the purple stallion said calmly.

I soon fainted

I started to wake up and put a hoof to my head, "What a nightmare." I turned over to see a pink stallion appear right in my face.

"What was a nightmare?" the pink stallion asked with glee.

"Ah!" I screamed as I jumped backwards.

The pink stallion laughed, "I didn't mean to scare you, silly."

I started to breathe heavily as my heart pumped faster. The pink stallion hoped over to me and smiled. "You’re fun! My name is Bubble Berry, what's yours?"

I smiled nervously as I fainted again.

I felt a cold splash wash over my face as I immediately woke up, "What are you trying to do, drown me?!" I shouted still breathing heavily.

I heard a familiar laugh and snort, "No silly, we're trying to wake you up!"

"Bubble Berry," a new voice said bemused. "You can't scare her like that; she has already fainted twice now."

I turned around to see a purple stallion from before with Bubble Berry. The purple stallion shook his hoof, trotted over to me, picked me up, and stood me up straight. "I'm so sorry about that, he really didn't mean to scare you. He just gets excited around new ponies," he smiled and extended a hoof. "My name is Dusk shine, I already told you before ... but you fainted."

I nodded dumbly and shook his hoof as I continue to stare at him. "Uh...h-hi..." I replied nervously. "M-My name is..." Come on! Think of a name! "... Blue Bass," I smiled weakly.

"Oh! Nice to meet you Blue Bass," we stopped shaking. "Sorry, but I must ask... Why were you in the Everfree forest?"
