I get up out of bed and stretch. As I stand, I glance at the mirror in the room briefly, then do a double take. My eyes….what happened to my eyes!? They’re bigger, and a really bright green. “I...I have pony eyes!?” I look myself over, and notice I had grown another inch or two. I feel over my spine: 2 more vertebrae. I’m up to 36 now.

“It’s happening faster than I thought.” I go into the bathroom and go to use the bathroom when I notice little sam isn’t so little anymore, and definitely isn’t human-shaped. “Oh, fuck...That’s, uh...new….” I just quickly use the bathroom and brush my teeth before going downstairs.

Twilight is in the kitchen, cooking dinner in her silk pajamas, and Luna is at the table eating toast. Spike is nowhere to be seen.

“Good morning SaaAAAM!? What happened!? Your eyes!”

“Yeah, noticed. It’s faster than we thought. I’m already six foot seven. Two more vertebrae.”

“This is...slightly disturbing, actually.”

“You think?”

“Is there a way to speed up the process, Twilight?” Luna asks, seemingly not affected by my off appearance.

“I suppose I could try a transformation spell, but I don’t know if it would work on his anatomy.”

“I’m already pretty close, Twilight. Can you please? I don’t want to look like this…”

“Alright...after breakfast.” She serves three plates of eggs, what looks like tofu bacon, and toast. Right, no meat. Oh well.

I sit and eat, sitting across from Luna. I feel her hoof against the top of my foot, and I look up at her. She’s smiling at me warmly, and I can’t help but return the smile.

After we finish, we go down to the lab and I lay on a lab table. “Sam, I am sorry in advance for how much this’ll probably hurt.”

“It’s fine. Just do it. Please.” Luna pats my head. Twilight’s horn glows brightly, and I shriek in pain as my spine starts lengthening and growing more bones. My face stretches to a muzzle, and my feet break and regrow into hooves. My legs break and grow bent, like a horse’s. All of a sudden, I hear the basement door burst open as the Holopoint flies into the room and gets hit by the spell. I black out.

Some time passes before I start to come to. I groan and sit up, feeling something poking out of the back of my pants. I feel and gasp. I have a tail. I shakily stand, but Twilight puts her hand on my chest to stop. “Easy. You’re not used to standing on hooves yet.” I nod and slowly start to stand. As I get to my hooves, I stand, my knees shaking from the odd shift of my center of gravity. I’m taller than Twilight now.

“How..how do you feel?”

“I feel….pretty good actually.” I take a deep breath with my new lungs. “Wow. That’s new. Are my organs bigger?”

“Yes. Everything about you is.”

“Did you examine me while I was out?”

“It was for science, okay?” She blushes.

I look over at a large mirror, completely stunned. I was blotched!

“Why is my body blue and orange all over?!”

“Well, um...You see, the uh, Holopoint got drawn to you and combined with you….”

“It what!?”

“The machine is a part of you. You aren’t completely pony. Your heart is the battery and your body got the colors.”

“My...my heart is nuclear powered?”

“No. Your heart is a nuclear battery.”

“Is that bad?”

“Well, no. It seems like it works perfectly how it is.”

I look back at myself. My hair was still long and brown, but it’s back in a ponytail. Speaking of tails, my tail was short and looked like it had been burnt. I looked at my face, and saw I have no canines, and a orange and blue swirled horn sat on my head.

“This is unbelievable. I’m a unicorn.” I have my clothes on still luckily, but they were way too small and slightly tattered. At least the colors of my body weren’t extremely out of place.

“Twilight, The Holopoint had a color shift mechanism in it for cloaking. Can you scan to see if it’s in me? It’s a little chip the size of a thumbnail.” She does a quick scan. “I see it. It’s attached to your heart.

“Holo Cloak Grey.” My multicolored body shifted to a light grey color. “Much better.” They both look stunned.

“You...Wow, you look a lot more normal. But can you only pick boring colors?”

“I like this.”

“Holopoint Green.” Luna says. I turn to a light green color. “Hey, stop that.”

“This actually suits you better.” I look at myself and nod. “I suppose so. Not bad.”

“You have a cutie mark, too.” Twilight says. “I do?!”

I pull my pants down a little and look at my hip. It’s a pair of apples partially fused in the middle, like one was being pulled from the other. “How did it know…”

“Know what?”

“My cutie mark looks like the Holopoint’s first test.”

“You made an apple?”

“Yeah, I did.”

“Don’t tell Applejack. She’ll be upset.”

“Alright. I’m keeping my name, by the way.”

Luna walks up to me and hugs me from behind. “I love how you turned out~” My eyes widen and I gulp. She’s hitting on me.

What gave it away?

The out of nowhere question.

Ah. Well, we were hitting on you before you changed too.

You did? I didn’t notice.

It’s okay.

.

.

.

Do you...want to go out sometime?

You want to go on a date with us?

If you’d like to.

Yes! I would love to!

“What are you two talking about?” Twi butts in. “Oh, I just as-mmpf?” Luna covered my mouth.

“We were discussing a possible, more permanent living place other than here. He feels like he’s imposing.”

I just nod.

“Oh. Well, there’s a patch of land a few yards from Fluttershy’s house. You can have that and do with it whatever you want.”

“Thank you Twilight.” I say, muffled by Luna’s hand.

“We’ll help him build his home, Twilight. Could you check his results thoroughly for us?”

“Of course, Princess.” Luna suddenly spreads her wings and takes off with me in her grip. I cling to her arms tightly.

I look down at the city lights in awe. “This is beautiful…”

“We’re glad you enjoy our night. Not many ponies do.”

“Well, I’ve always been a night owl. Figuratively, of course.”

We land at the edge of the Everfree fairly close to Fluttershy’s cottage.

“All this….is mine?”

“Indeed. And since you cannot use magic yet, we will help you build it.”

“Princess, you don’t have to-”

“Luna. Call us Luna. And no, we don’t. We want to.” Her horn lights up brightly. “Wait, hang on! I have an idea first!”

Her horn stops glowing. I pull out my phone and turn it on. Yes, it works! I swipe through my pictures until I find one of a ranch house I had been trying to buy for a few years.

“That’s quite a lovely home.”

“It is, isn’t it? I’d been saving money to move there since I turned twenty. But, guess I can’t now. But I have an idea.” I keep my eyes glued to the image and stare as hard as I can.

“Um, what are you doing?”

“Trying to get Holopoint to activate…”

“Just calm your mind and relax. Focus on what you want to do, and you will.” I take a deep breath and sigh. After a few seconds, my vision turns orange and the house on my phone vanishes. I hear Luna gasp. “Your eyes! They have beams firing from them!”

Once the house vanishes, I set my phone down and look around. Nothing. “What the...ooh, ow….Headache…”

-Data Stored-

“Aah! Did you hear that?!”

“Hear what?”

“That creepy robotic voice. Was...was that the holopoint?”

“Possibly. Your horn is glowing blue.”

I look up and see the soft light. I look at a spot on the ground in the clearing where the house would go, and a blue beam fires from my horn around the spot.

“I’m Holopoint!? Holy shit, that’s amazing!!” The beam starts creating a real-sized version of the image.

“This is quite a shock. You know, We think that we have a better name in mind than Holopoint.”

“Really? What were you thinking?”

“What about The Composer?”

“Woah. That’s...actually a lot better. Holopoint, input name change to Composer.”

-Name Successfully Changed-

“Thanks! That really is a great name for it. Well, me now I guess. Since it’s a part of me.”

“It suits you.” Finally, the beam of blue stops and the house is complete. It’s a two story, light blue ranch house with an attached barn. It even came fully furnished with chairs, tables, a fireplace, and a few beds.

I excitedly walk inside and beam. It looks just like the real thing! All the way down to the floorboards! I go upstairs to the master bedroom and slam my head into the doorframe.

“Ow, damn it!” I rub my nose in pain. “Stupid door….I’ll fix you later.” I duck into the room and smile. The bed is actually too small for me.

“Well, it’ll do for now. Well, Luna. You can stay if you’d like, but I’m suddenly very tired. I think this house took a lot out of me.”

“Alright. Sleep well, Samuel.”

“Please. It’s Sam.”
