To the Moon and Back

How it all Began....

Load Full StoryNext Chapter

A young man about 21 years old was enjoying a happy life. There was nothing more he could ask for, everything he wanted, materialistically, he had gotten. Everything was great. Until one fateful night...

This one night was nothing like any of the other nights he had encountered. He had been walking home, his brown, shaggy, long hair, blowing in the wind, as it softly touched his exposed skin from his beige shorts and red T-shirt.

As he walked home, the moon was starting to peek itself out of the clouds.

"Woah, it's getting late." He thought to himself. "I'd better get home."

He started to speed up the pace of his walking as the moon started to reveal itself from beyond the clouds. Little did this young man know that once the full moon had revealed itself, there would be a change that he'd undergo.

From seemingly out of nowhere, a royal blue ribbon like beam of magic had escape from a statue of a local high school. It began to follow the young man whilst he walking home.

As the night got darker, the man sped up his walking pace to avoid any danger that may come his way.

He was at the home stretch. "Just a few more steps, and I'll be at home!" He thought out loud

He almost made it! All he had to do was walk to the door, open it and he would safe at home. How can that go wrong?

Just as he was about to put his hand on the door, the full moon had shown itself through the night.

Just let inches away from the door and the unknown magic had caught up with him.

The royal blue beam of magic first loosely wrapped itself around his hand, then progressed throughout his body.

While all this was happening, the young man could help but process everything that was happening at that very moment.

"What's going on?!" He said. "What is this?!"

The magic continues to swirl around his body for a few more seconds before suddenly drifting away to an unknown location.

"What was that all about?" He asked before opening the door and entering to the inside his home. "Hmm. It was probably nothing."

After getting dressed in his favorite pajamas, the young man decided to watch some TV for about an hour before going to bed.

As he went to sleep, the magic reappeared at the window of his bedroom, and it stayed for a longer bit this time.

Little did this young man that in a matter of days, months even, a lot more than just his life would change forever...

As the young man went to bed, the full moon began to show itself beyond the clouds, and the magic that had been bothersome to him before had come back again.Thistime, however, the young man didn't seem to notice. Mostly because he was asleep.

At precisely 12:00 midnight, the magic had began to consume the young man's body, and started to make alterations to it.

The magic went inside the young man's body and began to alter the hormones within. It didn't really do much to it, though. The magic was mainly focused on the man's arms, hands, legs, and feet. It made them more feminine and ever so slightly smaller than what he had been used to.

The process of doing that alone took a few hours, and the sun was just beginning to rise. The magic had left the man's presence without leaving a trace.

The lock on the young man's night stand began ringing. It just turned 6:00 in the morning. He sat upright on his bed and groaned.

"Alright, already!" He mutter, when slamming the snooze button on his clock, hoping that would shut it up. He began to wipe his eyes when he noticed something odd about his hands.

"Hmm. Is it just me, or do my hands look smaller than usual?" He's asked himself, aloud. "Eh, it's probably nothing." He got out of his bed and started doing his usual morning routine.

As he continued, he noticed something off about not only his hands, but his arms, legs, and feet. They had looked and felt skinnier, smaller and a little less masculine. He didn't really pay that any mind though. After all it is the morning, and for all he knew, he was probably still half asleep, and what he seeing and feeling were all just things he was experiencing due to him not being fully awake yet.

He went about the day as he normally would on a Friday, and after that was done, he went home and watched some Avengers. He couldn't really concentrate on TV though, since he took the fact that his shrunken limbs hadn't regrew themselves throughout the day into consideration.

He couldn't help but think about it. "Was it a genetic mutation? Is there something medically wrong with him? Why are my limbs smaller than the would be? Am I cursed with something?" Those thoughts rolled around at the back of his mind while he prepared himself for bed.

"Hopefully whatever this is will go away through the night." He said to himself before going to sleep once more.

The magic had reappeared tonight, and this time, there was a bit more of it. It swirled around the man's body, as it began to alter his hormones again. It made his already altered limbs even more feminine, this time, taking away some of the hairs, and it did something extra to his body. Something that will make him look, and feel even more unusual.

That took even more time than the previous night, and the magic left the man's body just as his alarm clock rang.

Feeling more groggy, the young man sat upright on his bed and yawned. "Gee, it's Saturday, for crying out loud!" He mumbled, slamming his alarm clock.

When he rubbed his eyes, he notice his limbs were a lot less manly than yesterday morning. Not only that but the face felt different too. Bit that wasn't the main issue. When he proceeded to the bathroom, he looked at the mirror and covered his mouth in complete shock.

His face and body were all a light, yet noticeable shade of blue.

How could that be? He wasn't choking, he didn't have any diseases, and he felt perfectly fine. What was going on with him?

"I-I-I'm BLUE! He yelled at the top of his lungs. He started to panic, before he looked in the mirror again for anything else that was unfamiliar. And come to think of it, the bone structure of his face looked slightly altered too.

"Ok, I have got to see a doctor!" The man said before proceeding with his morning routine.

After getting dressed and waiting his breakfast, he'd grabbed his keys, and rushed out of the house.

Meanwhile in far away land of Equestria, Princess Celestia was about to lower the Moon, in order to raise the sun. Before she did, she looked at the Moon and sighed.

"I'm sorry, Luna. But you've made me do it." She said sadly, as she began to raise the sun for Equestria. Little did Celestia know, that she didn't really banish Luna to the moon...


Author's Note

I was originally planning on doing two chapters, but I thought the connection wouldn't be there, so I combined the both into one. (Plus, there's the whole 1,000 word minimum!)

This was also made as a request by JimmyHook19.

I deeply apologize if the chapter feels rushed or it feels like a let down for any of you who are reading. I'm trying my best to make this story as good as possible, (I'm in college and I have stuff due so that's not helping!) :fluttercry:

Anyways, I hope you all enjoyed and let me know of any errors.
