You sigh softly in the darkness of your studio apartment, stretched out and lazing on your old couch. It certainly had not been your best week, leading to unemployment yet again. For the past year you had constantly been between jobs, your lack of enthusiasm constantly keeping you down which affects your work ethic. Such an effect puts you in a constant loop of depression, never seeming to be satisfied with what you are doing in life.

You feel tempted to turn on the tv, thinking that maybe watching one of your favorite shows would cheer you up. But, you simply sigh again, thinking that not even a good episode of My Little Pony would be able to alleviate the sadness.

‘And if that show of all things couldn’t do it, then what would even be the point’, you reason to yourself. So there you lay, just letting life slip by while you waste away on an old couch in a small apartment.

That is, until a flash of light sends you sprawling off the couch, leaving you groaning with your face on the carpet and your butt in the air. You reach up and grab the coffee table to find out if a bulb had blown out.

If only it had been that simple.

Standing there in the middle of your home was a familiar equine figure, practically glowing in the soft light. Her pure white fur seemed to drink in the glow as her multi-hued mane and tail blew in a non-existent wind, a kind smile looking at you. You try to say something to her, but your throat goes completely dry, staring at her blankly.

Princess Celestia giggles at your befuddled response. “It appears I am in the right place, going by your expression. Yes, I am indeed the pony you know as Princess Celestia. And I have a very special offer for you, human.”

“Huh?” you respond to her oh-so eloquently. “Offer? What do you mean? How are you even here?”

The princess’ smile changes to a small smirk but you only catch a glimpse of it, sending the butterflies in your stomach fluttering. “On a random chance, it has been decided that you have been granted an opportunity to join in Equestria’s society as one of our own.”

You stare at her, your brain trying to wrap around what she had just said. “W-what do you mean?” you ask of her with baited breath.

“In laypony’s terms, I’m giving you the chance to become a pony of Equestria,” she answers much more calmly than yourself had asked.

“B-but why?”

“It’s quite simply, we are in need of more ponies in Equestria, ones that are able to be of great use to our citizens. A select few humans are offered this every few decades or so, just to keep things fresh. Some of your greatest heroes and inventors have been given this opportunity to help benefit Equestria. Others have been simple citizens in need of a fresh start, just like you, young man.”

You simply can’t believe what you were hearing. Did you dare live out a fantasy that so many fans have desired? With your current living situation and shortening amount of finances, could it be so simple to just start over fresh?

“Of course,” Celestia speaks up, taking you out of your thoughts. “There is a few small conditions to this.”

“Conditions?” you parrot back, blinking in confusion.

“Yes, but no worries.” Her horn lights up, illuminating the room with its golden glow before a scroll appears before you, a quill dipped in ink floating beside it. The parchment reads like some sort of contract, but your lack of legal experience just keeps it as a bunch of nonsense to you. “It’s quite simple really. Just sign on the bottom line, and then tomorrow I shall send a proper representative to carry out the terms that will send you to our land. It’s all quite standard, so there is need to worry.”

Now, you’ve seen enough television to know never to accept a contract right off the bat, but this is not just any contract. It’s a contract from Princess Celestia herself, the most kind and fair pony in the show. There’s no way she could steer you wrong, right?

But just to be safe, you look over it again, scanning for anything you can make sense of. And right in the middle of the contract, you find something that stands out to you. “What’s this part about… coitus?”

“Ah yes,” Celestia says with a wave of her hoof. “It’s part of the representative’s job. You will need to have sex with them.”

You just stare at the pony princess, in shock, awe, and… arousal.

“What?” you are able to ask after several minutes of stunned silence.

“It is how the transformation will take affect. Once you have been in union with one of our kind, you will be able to make the transformation into an equine.”

You… you simply can’t believe what you’re hearing again. “So, let me get this straight. I get to have a fresh start in Equestria, get transformed into a pony, and I get to have sex with a pony in order to make the former two happen?” Celestia nods and you grab the quill, scribbling your name on to the bottom of the contract. Once it’s signed, your signature flashes gold for a moment before the scroll rolls itself up and disappears, the quill going with it from your hand.

“We have a deal then. And to be clear, there is no backing out of this deal. So I hope you have no second thoughts. Also, as stated in the contract, once in Equestria, you are to never mention your life as a human again. This life will end once the transformation begins.”

You nod in understanding, smiling a bit when the princess smiles.

“Good. The representative will be here tomorrow at noon sharp. Best be prepared for their arrival.” Again you nod to which the princess disappears before your eyes in a flash of light again.

You blink a few times to clear the spots from your eyes before you look around at your darkened apartment. Now you knew that it was going to be the last night you spent there and as such, you decide to get in nice and clean, taking several hours to make sure the space was clean for the tennant that would take your place.

Once everything was clean, you lay down in bed, staring up at the wall and you smile, believing tomorrow was going to be the start of a new, better life.

Just some silly clop that I decided to do after The Abyss asked the question in his Discord. Thought the idea was hot and decided to just roll with it. The clop begins next chapter.
