Fiction Becoming Reality

I woke up with a gasp, but quickly closed my eyes.

“Holy snapping turd, what the BUCK!!” I rolled on the side and fell on the floor with a loud thud.

“What the... why was I on the couch!?” I stood up on my legs, raising my arm to cover my eyes. Surprisingly, I lost my equilibrium and face planted on the table. The mix of pain from three different places was making me cry a bit. I opened my eyes, trying to get used to the light. When my eyes adjusted, I spotted a random piece of paper on the ground. I placed myself on four legs. I looked at my arm, but saw something looking like a tree trunk.

“What happened last night?” I looked at the window and saw that it wasn’t even night. “Rewind, what happened today?” I looked on the table and saw what was left of the serum.

“Ho-ly BUCK.” I placed my hooves over my mouth, face planting again. I stood back up, rubbing my cheek.

“So, when I say some words, my brain automatically says something else.” I looked around, checking if there was somepony else.

“Somepony, everypony, anypony, buck, feather. That’s... weird. I guess that it’s real now. I’ll never look at My Little Pony the same way.” I looked at my hoof. It was blue and soft. I never had fur on me and it was a weird experience. I started touching my face, feeling things that weren’t there before. There was my muzzle, my big ears and my oversized eyes. I hit my glasses by accident, making them fall. My hoof that was still on the ground tried to catch them by reflex, making me faceplant... again. Unluckily, I fell right on my glasses, destroying them on impact.

“I don’t know how my nose can be more broken. Dear Celestia...” I stood up and saw that I was able to easily read the things written on the wall on the other side.

“Finally, I don’t really need glasses. Heh... NOW, what do I do?” I looked around, trying to find an idea. “Maybe I should look at myself. TO THE BATHROOM!” Then, I realised something, how do I walk?

I tried to remember the television show and tried to figure how to walk. Okay : left-front, right-back, right-front, left-back, repeat. I started to memorise the pattern, then tried to replicate it. I looked like the guy in QWOP, more like the pony. One by one, I was moving my legs and I manage to walk toward the stairs. Suddenly, my stomach made the sound of a hungry body.

“I need to eat. To the kitchen!” I started thinking about what I should eat, leaving my body on automatic. Without thinking, I was walking up the stairs and walking in the kitchen. When I ‘woke up’ from my daydream, I was in the kitchen, in front of the refrigerator.

“Wow, it’s like if my body was programmed to walk. Heh...” I stared at the giant cold box containing food and was wondering how to open it. A normal refrigerator have the freezer on top, but ours have it on the bottom, which means that the opening handle was higher.

How do I open it? I wondered. I had an idea, but I wasn’t sure if it was a good one. I’ll never know if I stay here. With my mouth, I took the handle of the bottom freezer and pulled it, opening the rolling box. I climbed on it and stood on my back legs. I was at the two handles of the fridge. It was a double door, which was making it harder for me.

Here it goes! I took the left handle with my mouth and jumped on the side. It opened the door, but it left me hanging, hurting my mouth. I looked at my work with happiness. I climbed the freezer door again and looked inside the fridge. I saw some chicken from yesterday, but it didn’t looked that delicious. A bit under, there was a head of lettuce. I could swear that I was drooling at the sight. Without thinking, I opened the vegetable box and took the lettuce. I jumped down and pushed the freezer door to close it. Then, I headbutted the fridge door to close the rest.

With my head of lettuce in my mouth, I trotted happily in the dining room. I pulled a chair and saw that, even on the chair, I wasn’t tall enough to eat on the table. I grumbled and jumped down, eating the lettuce on the floor. Even if I became an animal, I wasn’t so sure about it.

Unluckily, there was one thing that I didn’t factor in, my parents. I heard the front door open and closed, earing my step-mother removing her shoes. My pupil shrunk when she started to walk toward the kitchen. I went behind the pillar in the middle of my house, because all the rooms are connected and there is no walls to hide behind.

She entered the kitchen and saw the ball of lettuce, half eaten on the floor.

"ANTHONY!" my step-mother screamed. "WHY IS THERE HALF A LETTUCE ON THE GROUND, HM?" After getting no immediate response. she took a broom and began cleaning the mess, a frown on her face. I said a faint ‘don’t clean it’, but it was loud enough for her to hear it. She turned her head and saw mine popping out of the pillar.

“Umm... hello.” I said quietly. Her eyes grew wide, like if she saw a ghost.

“Oh MY GOD!” She took her broom and hit me square in the muzzle. “GET OUT OF MY HOUSE, YOU FILTHY BEAST!” She hit me again, on the side of my head. Normally, I would start to run, but what she said hit me on my emotions. Even if I don’t really like her, the fact is that my step-mother called me a filthy beast.

I got hit again and this time, I decided to run away. I started running around, searching for an exit. The front door is closed and the door knob will take a lot of time to open. Same thing for the garage-side door, but the back door is an easy sliding door.

I ran toward the front door, followed by my step-mother holding the broom angrily. I did a 180 turn and went between her legs. The surprise of my sudden change of direction made her stop for few seconds. I ran toward the back door and opened it. Right when I jumped outside, my step-mother arrived at the door.

“AND DON’T COME BACK!” She shouted while I was running toward the forest behind my house. I was hoping that she wouldn’t follow me. With tears, I wondered where to go. I didn’t know anybody in the neighborhood and there is no way I could get to the nearest city without getting weird looks. Also, getting back in my house is almost impossible. So, my only choice was to enter the forest behind my house, hoping to find something neat to sleep under.

*****

My father entered the house and saw that there was a lot of scratches on the wooden floor and some tiles on the kitchen floor were broken.

“What happened?” he asked my step mother. She sighed out loud.

“A horse-thing entered the house and was eating some lettuce. I managed to get rid of him.” She said while continuing to mix the ingredients for dinner.

“Get rid of him!?” He said, dumbfounded, before she changed what she said.

“Well, by ‘rid’, I mean that it ran away after few hit with a broom.” Phew, he thought. He looked in the corner of the room and saw that said broom was broken in two.

“Why is the broom broken?” He asked.

“The beast’s skull was really hard.” She simply said. He nodded.

“Where is Anthony?” He then asked, knowing that I usually greet him when he comes back from work.

“I don’t know, but I think that he may be related to this horse problem.” She said.

“You think he let a horse into our house?” He asked. She nodded. My father placed his work items on the floor and went downstairs. He saw that Anthony’s computer was closed and that his video camera was sitting on the sofa arm. What caught his attention was the purple bottle on the table.

He took the camera and saw that it was still recording. What was he recording? He thought. He stopped the recording and went in the media library. He started the movie and saw Anthony filming himself. When he drank the stuff, his eyes grew wide. Not only he said that he would turn into a ‘pony’, but he drank something given by a stranger.

After fast forwarding the video around 15 minutes later, a blue horse-thing stood up and started doing some funny things that could go in America’s funniest home video. Then, he suddenly realised what happened with his wife.

“Oh crap...”
