*Sigh* It’s been, what, two hours of non-stop... stuff. I still think those sound were orgasms, but a ‘sucking’ sound could be heard. Not the ‘suck my thing’ kind of, more like the vampire kind. What is Chrysalis is doing to my father?

Suddenly, I heard a faint voice of desperation: “Honey...”. My eye shot open and I tried to find the source of the voice, but, in a suitcase, it’s a bit complicated.

“Who is here?” I whispered in the dark. I wasn’t really waiting for an answer, but it happened anyway.

“A... Anthony?” The voice asked. I recognize it as Josee, my stepmother, but I wasn’t sure if she was real or still another changeling.

“Josee!? Is that really you?” I asked.

“Anthony, finally a friendly voice. A woman... disguised herself as me. She even had a weird pony-bug creature who entered our house. At least, I scared him off with my broom and-” I stopped her before she rants more.

“Umm, yeah. It’s... kind of me that you hit with a broom, but still, why are you telling me all this?”

“Wait, you really turned into a horse?” She asked, thinking that I’m laughing.

“Yes, I turned into a PONY, but that’s not important. Where are you right now?” I asked.

“Well... I still don’t know if you’re kidding, but, I’m attached like a sausage in the closet. I managed to get rid of the gig to be able to talk.” With the sound of the voice and all the infos, I realised that her body was right beside my suitcase. “So you have a plan?” She asked.

“I think I have. Are you on a suitcase?” I asked. I could feel the suitcase moving a bit, which made my assumption true. “Okay, I know where you are. Listen, with your mouth, try to get on the side and unzip a bit of the suit case. If my hoof can get through, I will be able to get out. I know you can do it, you must be really good with your oral techniques.” I said.

“Is there a hidden meaning behind this?” She shouted a bit louder than normal.

“Nnope.” I said with shifty-eyes that could rivalise with Applejack's one. I chuckled a bit in my head while waiting for something to happen. After a few minutes of moving, I heard a small ‘zip’ sound and a loud thud. I hoped that the fake me was still sleeping. I looked up and saw that a small part was unzipped. I started unzipping the rest with my hoof until I was finally free, but I was now trapped in the dark. I touched down and felt something weird.

“Ouch, watch out where you put your... hooves.” After that my eyes adjusted to the dark, I saw my stepmother on the floor. With thinking twice, I jumped on her and started cutting the ropes with my teeth. Sure, I no longer had canines or those flat teeth in the front of my mouth, but I still manage to cut them all.

“Finally free!” She said while stretching her body. I tapped her and motioned her to crouch.

I started whispering in her ear: “Take that rope. We’ll be able to take the fake me by surprise.” She nodded and took it. We both countdowned and opened the door. We were supposed to take the changeling by surprise, but he heard the whole conversation and was waiting for us.

He bucked Josee in the face and started hoof-wrestling with me. When she stood up, she was facing two blue ponies with light blue mane. She wasn’t sure what to do, but I saw her confusion.

“It’s me, Jo!” I said, but I forgot that the fake could talk too.

“No, I’m the real me. Take care of the other one.” It said. She looked at me, then at him. She turned around and took my wooden sword. We both took a step back at her menacing face.

“I’m gonna ask you both questions that only the real Anthony will be able to answer.”

This feels awkwardly familiar. I think it was from Spongebob Squarepants. Why am I thinking about something like this at a moment like that?

“First of three, what was the main reason why you wanted so much to live in our new house?” She was playing hard with my memory.

The fake one said: “For the big bedroom...?” I knew that it wasn’t it. I searched in my memory and found something funny related to something in my foalhood... I meant childhood.

“Because I thought the giant towers behind the house could give me free wi-fi.” I said, unsure. The fake one shook his head.

“Secundo, what was the funniest way Loic injured himself?” Why does she needs to take the hardest quest- oh... right.

“Umm... he face planted in a door...?” The fake one wasn’t sure of his answer. I was hoping that she would see that bit of obliviousness in his face.

“He bounced on your butt and hit the corner of a table.” I said, hiding a chuckle. The changeling shook his head.

“Tss tss, how unoriginal.” He said. My stepmother pointed the fake one, making him close his mouth.

“Last question, tell me a reason why I shouldn’t hit you right now.” She said while looking at the fake one.

“Umm... what?” He asked.

“WRONG.” And it’s a HOMERUN. The sole fact of her hitting the fake one, revealing his true form of equine bug, made my day. I looked at him and saw that he was totally unconscious.

“Take this, piece of bug shit.” She spat at the body. I ran toward her and jumped in her arms. At least, she had the reflex of closing her arms.

“Thank you Celestia!” I said happily, but she looked at me with confusion.

“Who?” She asked.

“No time to explain, dad might be in danger.” She nodded and ran toward my parents’ bedroom, which is up the stairs. I followed her, hoping that my old man was alright.

When we entered the room, I saw something that I wished I would never see again. My father was nude with Chrysalis while doing some sex position. By reflex, I blocked my eyes.

“Sweet Luna, Dad! Arg...” I shouted, but my words hadn't caused any reaction, the sole fact the there was two Josee was freezing everybody.

“Honey!?” He said in confusion. He stood up and dressed himself, allowing me to check the situation without feeling gross.

“How is it possible that there is TWO Josee?” He ask to nopony. Anyway, my step-mother answered.

“She’s a... something. She can take the appearance of anybody. Get away from her!” She told him. He looked at both woman with even more confusion. I knew that, at this rate, nothing would happen, so, I took the lead.

“I’m sorry to cut this celebration short, but I’m kind of tired so...” I looked around for anything that would help me blow her cover. Luckily for me, my father’s cellphone was on a small table, easy to reach. I took it and opened it.

“...it’s time to call the elements of harmony!” I said, hoping she would fell into my trap.

“No! Not those calling machine... It’s impossible! You can’t call them, you don’t even know them!” She said angrily. It was time to add more frosting on this bluff cake.

“Oh really?” I took the cellphone and composed a random number. I took it to my ear and started talking : “Hey Twilight! [Wait for a fake answer] I’m fine, and you? … Nice! Umm, do you know anypony called Chrysalis? … Seriously! Wow, she evil. Also, do you have the elements near you? … Ah. Well, go get ‘em and come to my house, I’ll need your...” I was about to finish my fake call when the cellphone rang... for real.

She looked at me with annoyance in her eyes. “It was fake... from THE BEGINNING!” She ran toward me with her hoof up and punched me. It took me by surprise, but I was okay. I decided to counterattack. I ran toward her to take my revenge, but she placed at obstacle in my way : my father.

“It worked! When I feed of enough love, I can control ANYTHING! MUHAHAHAHA!” She said proudly. I looked at my father and saw something that chilled me to the bones. His eyes were gross green. I knew that I would need to find a way to get him out of the princess’ control.

But, Josee was the first to react. She approached my father, who stood there like a tree, and started touching his face. “Oh honey...” She, then, stared at Chrysalis with anger in her eyes. By anger, I mean like if there was a thousand angry bulls ready to chase that princess until the end of the world.

“Nobody touches MY HUSBAND!” She raised the wooden sword and jumped toward the evil bug. Unluckily, my father stopped her and threw her away. She tried again, and again, and again, until she was too tired to continue.

“Surrender now, or you’ll feel pain. More pain than anything you felt in your life!” Chrysalis said, certain of her victory. I looked at Josee. She was panting heavily on the floor. The room was half broken. The vases were on the floor in millions of tiny pieces. The lights were ruined. It made me a bit angry that the house made by my father was getting destroyed by some crazy bug lady.

Josee and I looked at each other. I said silently the words : “One last time.” She nodded then ran in again.

“Aren’t you tired of doing the same thing all over again?” The princess asked. Right when Jo was about to swing, I jumped on her back and went over my father. I landed safe on the bed and bucked Chrysalis in the face. She lost her control for few second, letting my father fall from exhaustion.

“Oh no you don’t!” She shouted. She took me with her magic and threw me on the wall on the other side of the room. I broke a part of the wall with the impact. Josee ran towards me while princess Buggy took control of her puppet.

“Anthony, are you alright?” Jo asked. I nodded while trying to stand up. After some struggling, I managed to stand still.

“You’re gonna regret this, my annoying pony!” Chrys shouted.

I looked at Jo and said one thing : “Aim for the horn.” She nodded and turned to face the evil ones.

I was about to run when I shouted : “WHAT’S THIS!” I pointed in the window beside them. They both let their curiosity win and looked. I managed to run past my father and punch the princess.

“YOU LITTLE RUFFIAN. This was a miserable trick, straight from the loser book.” She said, about to rage. I smiled at the sight.

“Does that ‘miserable trick’ comes in two waves?” I asked. She looked at me in confusion. Then, at the last second, her eyes went wide, but it was too late. My stepmother already destroyed the horn with the now-destroyed sword. Aww, I liked that sword. I thought.

Because that horn was now destroyed, my father fell on the ground, lifeless. The princess fell, too, panting heavily.

“You’ll never get away with this.” She said. I shook my head.

“This was soooo cliche.” She glared at me.She was more than angry now.

“We’ll see each other again... later.” She closed her eyes to try to cast a teleportation spell, but failed due to her lack of horn.

“Uh oh...” She looked around, trying to find a way to escape.

“Umm... LOOK OVER THERE!” She pointed at the window. I shook my head again.

“I’m not gonna fall for my own-” I didn’t had time to finish my sentence that the window broke and a group of changeling entered. They blocked my view for few seconds. When they ran away, they took the princess, leaving up with a now completely destroyed room and my father.

Wait, MY FATHER! I ran toward the body. My stepmother looked at me and saw my sadness.

“Don’t worry, he’s not dead. He’s just exhausted. I guess that being a mindless pawn cost a lot of energy.” I chuckled inside me. We took him into my bed, because his room was open to the elements, and let him sleep.

“Sweet dreams, Ken.” She said while kissing the man. I nuzzled him and quitted the room.

“Now that this is over, want something to eat? I didn’t ate since this morning.” Josee said.

“What about the room?” I asked. She stopped a bit and looked at the door leading to said room.

“It can wait. For now, food!”

“I’ll take a salad!”

“I never thought I would hear you saying that... by the way, how did you turn into a pony. It looks like I would be in a science fiction movie.”

Here we go again...

*****

“Wow, it looks like a fantasy novel.” She said while eating her grilled-cheese. I nodded while putting my head in my salad bowl. I told her my whole story since drinking that crazy liquid. The worst part is, it was her who hit me with the broom, not Chrysalis. Sure, it was hard to sink in that my father’s wife called me a filthy horse, but she was sorry about it.

“But not even a author could think of something that crazy.” I said. We both laughed.

“So, is this permanent or not?” She asked. I started to think about it.

“I don’t know, the dream I had crumbled on me. She said something about a paper and an anagram. I wonder what she meant.” I dropped my mouth back to take a mouthful of lettuce. When I stood back up, she was looking at my tail.

“What’s wrong?” I asked. She grabbed my tail and took a piece of paper out. “What? I had this in my tail since the beginning!” I remembered that paper from when I stood up for the first time. It must have been stuck when I walked over it.

“There is a message... or something on it.” She said. She placed the paper on the table. On it, a weird message was written : ‘A Cede Finishing Imply Triply Most - A Ed Foreseen Thieves Pois - Cede Fee Muffins Tinny Vino Sits’.

“Yup, that’s right.” I said. She looked at me with confusion.

“What do you mean?” My stepmother asked. I smiled at her.

“It obviously an anagram. It’s impossible to understand, making it harder to decode.” Her eyes went wide, but she nodded.

“I have an idea. Bring me your computer.” She did as I asked, placing it on the table. Then, I started telling her what to do. She went on Google, searched an anagram translator, and wrote parts by parts.

When we searched the first part, A Cede Finishing Imply Triply Most. We read the answers, all of them making no sense. Sure, we were searching one answer out of ~55565 options. Finally, we found something so obvious that I almost rage quitted : My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. I facehoofed hard.

Next one, A Ed Foreseen Thieves Pois. I hoped that it wouldn’t be as obvious as the first one, making me angry to search something that easy. After a good 10 minutes of endless scrolling, we found something that would only make sense : Season Three Episode Five. When we found this, I remembered something interesting. The fifth episode was getting out next week, which make it more logical.

Finally, after more than half an hour, we finally managed to get to the last one : Cede Fee Muffins Tinny Vino Sits. I chuckled at the fact that the anagram contained the word muffin. Again, it took a lot of time to find the answer, like, twenty minutes. The most obvious answer was : Nine Minutes Fifty Five Seconds. Which completed the ‘find the hidden frame in the episode’ game. The answer to my problems was hidden in the next episode of the TV show.

“What does that mean?” My stepmother asked. I looked at her with a smile.

“It means that this adventure is just starting.”
