The building I exited from had in big red letters said "Harvest Technologies" it had a symbol in the middle that looked like two crescents over top of each other as well as a single crescent  facing the dual crescent there was a sphere and a rectangle on top of it and another below it. The grass was green and the ground was soft, I had never seen anything so beautiful as the meadow I was standing in. I fell into the ground and rolled in the grass till it was dark. I should've been flying to Las Pegasus but I didn't care, I loved the night, I got up covered in green smears and started flying. It was morning by the time I got to Las Pegasus, I wasn't sure where to go or what to do, the city was full of vibrance, nothing like the compound at all, I walked into a small hotel "do you have any rooms?" I asked the mare at the counter "yes we do, how long do you plan on staying with us?" The mare asked "only" I paused, I wasn't sure how long I had to kill my target. "Four days" I said "alright that will be forty seven bits." She said cheerfully I forced my wing into my bag trying to reach my bits without pulling out my weapons, I managed to pull them out spilling them onto the floor. "Damn" I muttered as the unicorn levitated the coins off the ground and into a box on the counter. "Here's your key" she said hovering a key into my bag "thank you, I never used saddlebags before." I said staring down "that's ok you're room 201 on the second floor, the stairs are right around that corner." She said pointing a hoof toward the hallway, I walked down the hall digging the key from my bag I opened the door and gasped. I never seen any room other than the white cells with tubes I was living in. There was a dresser with a mirror on it, my face had green stripes going across it. I laughed at myself and my foolishness there was a bed in the center of my room. I immediately thought of what I would do to NightShade on it, I set my bags at the foot of the bed and closed the door. I opened up the bag dumping the contents onto the bed, I tried to grab the guns with my hooves which actually worked better than using my wings. I stared over the vials Gunslinger shoved into my bag "take this first" was written on the vial full of purple liquid. "LSD" was written on the blue one and "after mission" was written on the green one. So like the vials said I took the first one in my hoof and swallowed down the purple liquid. My head filled with pressure and my sides began to burn I started to cry, I was weeping on the floor. My wings started to ache and my feathers started falling off, my forehead ached, slowly something started protruding out of it. I passed out on the bed and woke up two hours later, except I didn't feel like myself I starred down at were my wings used to be. There was feathers strewn about the room I got up and ran to the mirror seeing a white stallion with blue eyes, red and black mane, and... a horn.  I screamed "is everything alright in there sir?" I heard come through the other side of the door "uhh yes everything is just fine." I replied as I walked back toward my bed trying to get one of my guns to levitate it was enveloped in a red glow. The silver pistol with the black tube on the end of it had gone off. It was quiet, thank Celestia. I grabbed my journal and started flipping through it to find the spells I had written in it. I tried again and this time I was able to lift the gun, it vanished. I wasn't sure what I did but then I realized I teleported it somewhere. "What in the name of Celestia is this" I heard somepony yell in the room next door to me. I ran through the door and started pounding my hooves on the door next to my room "hello" I yelled trying to get the mares attention. The door opened up, the handle surrounded in a pink glow "yes, I do believe this is yours." I heard the mare say as my pistol levitated into the hallway "wait, don't put it in the hallway" I screamed smacking the gun back into the room. "Ugh, fine come here" the pink glow surrounded me as I was pulled into the room. A mare with a light blue mane and blue coat was staring me dead in the face. "Are you a spy, sent to destroy the great and powerful Trixie" she said "the great and powerful what?" She groaned "me the great and powerful Trixie!" Her voice boomed as she pointed the gun toward me "I'm not here to kill you, but I am here to kill somepony." I stated "well who is that?" She asked "ugh, damn it I don't have time for this" I said wrapping Trixie in a red glow and pinning her to the ground. "I like where this is going" she smirked "no I-it's not like that, I already have somepony." I stammered "so you're saying you don't want the great and powerful pu-" I stopped her "I just met you!" I yelled "okay so why the gun?" She asked "you're not aloud to know, I'd actually have to kill you." I said as my red glow enveloped my gun, I put it into my saddle bag. "I'm very sorry but I have to go" I walked out of the room kicking the door closed behind me. I walked past my room and down the stairs leaving the hotel. A blue puff of smoke appeared in front of me when I was three yards from the door. "Wait!" Trixie yelled, she was wearing a hat and cape as well as saddlebags "what do you want?" I asked "I would like to know what's going on, but since I cannot I gue-"I interrupted her "do you want me to have to kill you, because I won't think twice about it." I said "well if you're here to kill a celebrity you've certainly found your mare." She said happily "what the hell is wrong with you?" I asked "I the great and powerful Trixie fear nothing" she paused for a moment "so, could I come with you?" She asked clearing her throat "NO!" I yelled at her "please I need to be better than Twilight Sparkle at something." She said sadly "fine but if you get killed it's not my fault, unless I pull the trigger."
