So… what do you think it’s like to die?

Don’t bother, you’re all wrong, it’s terrible.

My name is Ark Kane, and today I became a corpse, in Britain, by a gunshot wound.

*bang*

To think I had enjoyed an interesting life, albeit a shitty, lonely one, but it was a good life nonetheless… and how the fuck did a guy manage to keep a gun around in the fucking UK?! It’s like… super illegal to even have a replica! And this asshole has a fucking revolver prepared for when he feels the need to mug someone!

At least I didn’t have to live with the absurdity of the situation for long as the bullet pierced my skull.

And I was sent to this strange void.

Alone.

Without anything to do.

“...oh come on! Someone please show me something I could do?!” I say after hour 3 of my isolation.

In a flash I look to see two buttons, each with a differing option.

The left button was blue, the right was red, each with writing on. Gee, I wonder what this is referencing? I look to see what they read.

Reincarnate on Earth into a new form and lose all that you were

Volunteer to Take the place of a Random Pony in Equestria with all your memories and consciousness

...okay, am I on drugs? This feels like I’m on drugs…

Needless to say I took the Red Pi-er-Button.

I mean, a Brony, getting the chance to be a pony in Equestria for their second life? Who wouldn’t pick that!

With a push, the buttons disappeared and I felt myself be pulled away before losing myself to a soft whiteness, like that of clouds.

I awoke peacefully in the morning, at first I had believed it to be just a dream.

However that was completely countered by the fact that one does not feel their brains being relocated via bullet during a dream, nor remembers events as vividly as that.

“At least I didn’t wake up on the wrong side of bed.” I said softly… wait.

Is this voice… oh BUCK!

“I’m… FLUTTERSHY?!” I yelled out, then immediately ‘eep’d at how loud my voice got.

Sweet Celestia Flutters! Did you practice the RCV or something?!

Shaking off the surprising amount of vocal strength, I resolved to remain more calm when speaking. “That was… wow it was really loud, I hope I didn’t scare anyone…”

Still relaxing in bed, I heard a familiar hop approach me before seeing a disgruntled Rabbit who I was all too familiar with.

As a Brony it was very hard not to harm this rabbit, so I settled for a small smile. “Oh… hello Angel, what’s wrong?”

“[What’s wrong?! You nearly burst my eardrums with that yell! What was with panicking about being yourself anyway??]”

The rabbit… just talked… and I understood… whoo! I am really not going to get used to my special talent, am I?

“Oh, I’m sorry, I was just um… having that dream where I was a tree again…” I giggled gently. “I’m sorry if I woke you, how about I treat you to a nice breakfast as an apology?”

The idea of food removed every trace of irritation from the Demon Bunny of Tartarus. “[That’s more like it! I want a nice Carrot and Tomato Soup! And don’t miss out on the herbs!]” he hopped off. “[Oh, and Mayor Mare came around to tell you about the Tweetles practice for the Summer thing tomorrow.]”

AHA! The Bunny is useful! Now I know it is a day before the Summer Sun Celebration, and I need to train the… *pff* Tweetles, to sing at the event.

Well nothing for a mare to do but get up and start the day! I happily got up and turn, narrowly avoiding a chair haphazardly left out in the middle of the-

*thump*

“Ahhn~~!” I blink in shock.

It felt like I hit… no, impossible! I’m Fluttershy! Just a simple gender swap, I could deal, I’m just hallucinating!

But then again, there are those stories where… oh Celestia...

I would’ve been alright as just a mare but…

I slowly lowered my head to check…

...and was greeted by my other head…

*throb*

{Meanwhile, in Canterlot}

A stallion calmly places the last cards onto the pyramid.

“Finally, after all this time I have done it! Look out Whinnies Book of Equus Records! Here comes Surgical Precision!”

Suddenly a very loud, very deafening, high-pitched scream rushed through the stallion's house and destroyed all of his windows, glasses and Fine Chineigh.

Thankfully once it had died down he looked to see his house of cards was left unharmed.

he smiled and let out a breath he didn’t know he was holding.

*collapse*

“OH COME ON!!”

{Fluttershy}

I felt like I had ruined somepony’s day… eh, too busy freaking out, now where was I?

Oh yeah, AHH! WHAT THE FUCK! I’M A MARE AND I HAVE A DICK! WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!?

Now yeah, a guy panicking he kept his dick, but the problem is that I’m going to deal with BOTH sets of hormones! I’m not gonna handle having so many mixed signals!!

AND OH GODS WHAT’LL HAPPEN WHEN ESTRUS HITS?!

Before I could let out another scream, my muzzle was forced closed by Angel.

“[Calm down! Did you forget you were a herm again!?]”

Again?! Oh gods this happened before?!

Not knowing what to do I simply nodded as he facepalmed.

“[look, calm down, you remember, right? You’re not like other mares, you were born differently, given both parts… by Celestia I still can’t believe I have to do this every time.]”

“I… I don’t think I’ll forget this time.” I said once I calmed down enough. “And if I did I wouldn’t freak out as bad as this time… I promise.”

It’s true, I had a good memory, and after the immediate freak-out I was able to reason that I could handle this, despite the odd circumstances.

“[Good, now let’s get your covering on.]”

“Covering?”

“[well yeah! This thing!]” he picked up some strange enchanted article that looked like my coat’s colours. “[you wanted to keep it a secret, remember?]”

She did? Oh… well this is her life that I have taken, I won’t just ruin it now.

“O-of course.” I said as he helped me put it on, even though my morning wood made it uncomfortable, this thing seemed capable of concealing any erections I had. “It’s so… fancy.”

“[better be, you paid for it.]”

“Oh, right.” I said, blushing, and after an awkward moment I headed on to the kitchen, finally back to a more calm self.

This is a life I inherited, and I couldn’t really ask for much, even if it’s got its quirks, I’m happy for it, and I’ll keep Flutter’s wishes as much as I can.

“Now come on, I’ll get your soup ready.” I said, gaining a little cheer from him.

I found myself humming idly as I walked through the cottage, greeted by the various animals, and I greeted back, beginning to make breakfast for myself and Angel, who seemed a little too pleased, but eh, I could manage.

This is going to be easy.

*THUNDER*

I ‘eep’d not because of the thunder… but last I checked it was clear skies outside.
