Slowly, my sight started to come back to me. At first I could only see blobs of colors, but with a few blinks my eyes, it cleared up. I look around me and find that I’m on a small stone bridge that goes over a small river. I look ahead and find that there’s a small cottage with a handle full of bird houses around it. There’s also animals ranging from small to medium sized, roaming around the small cottage.

What the hell did that woman just do? The minute she snapped her fingers is the second I show up here.

I was about place my hands on the wheels of my wheelchair, but they just pass through air and grab on to nothing.

“What the...,” I look down and find myself looking down at me standing on two legs. Before I can start freaking out, a small timid voice catches my attention.

“M-Michael, is that you?” The small voice asks, unsurely.

That voice... it couldn’t be.

I look over my shoulder thinking I would be finding my little sister, but I find a small little anthropomorphic equine girl staring up me with big scared, yet curious eyes.

I turn my body fully to her and tilt my head to the side, “Angel?” The second that name came out of my mouth is the second I see the small girl’s eyes widen with tears. She slams her head into my sternum and wraps her arms around me. She rubs her face into my stomach as I had to push my right leg back to keep myself from getting pushed down, but that was ultimately a bad idea. I instead got the wind knocked out me and had to gasp for air, like if I was a fish out of water.

I look down and lay a hand on top of the girl’s head. “Angel, is that really you?”

She nods her head and keeps her face caved into my gut. “Why do you look like this?”

She looks up me with puffy confused eyes. “L-Look like what?” she sniffles.

I rub the back of my head. “Kid, you look like one of those little cartoon horses from that show you watch, but with hands and feet.”

“You mean ponies?” I shrug my shoulders.

“Aren’t they the same thing?” She shakes her head no. “Well whatever, you look like a pony,” then it hits. I narrow my eyes down at her, which gets her to tilt her head to the side in a very cute manner. “Sis...?” I say rather seriously.

“Yeah?”

“Do I look like a pony from that cartoon you watch?”

“Yeah.” She then grabs something from behind me and pulls on it, which hurt. “Look,” in her left hand she holds a black short spiked tail with blond colored edges. She then points up at me with a big smile on her face. “You got fluffy pointy ears, Michael,” she giggles.

I reach up to the side of my head to confirm what she said, and lo and behold, I got fully pointy ears. I didn’t know how to react to this, or how to feel about it. I know I should be freaking out about it, but I also know that it won’t do me any help. It will only spook my sister and I don’t want that. Though, it seems like she’s taking this pretty well.

I don’t know where we are, besides knowing that we’re anthropomorphic cartoon ponies. “Hey kiddo, you know where we are at?” I ask the eight-year-old, as I look back at the cottage.

She hums in thought while looking around, she then looks at the cottage that I was looking and instantly points her finger at it. Her eyes go wide in joy and seem to sparkle. “Big bro, that’s Fluttershy’s house!”

“Who?” I questionably say.

She doesn’t answer and starts to pull me towards the cottage.

Getting to the door of the cottage was a bit of a hassle for me. Not having to use my legs for several years was bit...‘trippy’ to say the least. I’m actually over joyed that I got my legs back and silently thanking who ever gave them back to me.

Once we arrived at the front door the animals all hid away from us. Some running up trees and some into the plant life on the bottom. Nothing to off, just your typical animals running away like usual, but these animals were a bit weird. The lot of them poked their little heads out from their hiding place to look at us. Now that’s something you don’t see everyday. Then again, you don’t see people suddenly vanishing from their homes and suddenly getting turned into ponies isn’t something you see everyday either.

Angel knocks on the door rather loudly, so I quickly stop her. “Whoa there kiddo, I know your excited an all but that’s a bit rude to be doing that,” I was going to continue on scolding her, but then the door creaks opens slowly and a very quite timid voice speaks out.

“Y-Yes, can I h-help with something?” A teal blue eye looks up at me with shyness from behind the door.

The girl looked to be like if she would be frightened by small things, so I approach her in a soft way. I give the girl a small warm smile and speak to her the way I’d speak to my sister. “I’m sorry to bother you, but we’re ki-...”

“Hi, Fluttershy! I’m so happy to meet you!” My sister jumps in front me to greet the girl, but instead the girl lets out a squeal of fright and slams the door. I look down at Angel with a disapproving look.

“Angel, was it necessary to shout out like that? Now you scared her away.”

She looks up at me with these teary eyes that kind of stung my heart a bit. I kneel down to her and pat her on the head. “I didn’t mean to,” she looks down at the floor in distraught. “I was just happy to see one the Elements of Harmony.”

I wipe her tears away and chuckle lightly. “I know kiddo, I know.” I pick her up and place her on my shoulders. “C’mon, lets head into the small town up ahead, and see what we can find.”

She hugs my head and lays her chin on top of it. She then sniffles a little and nods her head. “Chin up kiddo, who knows, you might find more of your favorite characters, or more of those Elements of Armory there.”

“Harmony,” she corrects me sternly with a pout.

“Oh whatever, you knew what I meant,” I poke her in her side to tickle her.

She giggles cutely and kicks the heels of her feet into my chest. “Giddy up big bro! To Ponyville we go!”

“Is that what it’s really called?” I tilt my head to meet her green hazel eyes with my mine.

“Yuppie!” She then points straight ahead and kicks my chest again. “Onward!”

You gotta be joking.

The minute I set foot into to the lively town every individual stopped to stare and look at us. I froze in place and looked back at he people. My sister was excitedly looking around not giving a damn about what’s going around her.

I awkwardly smile and wave to everyone, “Uh, what’s up?”

The second I said that everyone started panicking and screaming their asses off. Some of them even yelling out that there’s a ‘scary looking pony holding a little filly hostage’. I couldn’t help but look at the scene playing out in front of me with an uncontrollable twitchy right eye. These idiots were bumping into each other and stumbling around while trying to get into their houses. I’m down here trying to figure what the hell the I did, while my sister is having a good’ol time laughing her ass off at the situation.

In matter of seconds the whole town was deserted of any people, and deadly silent to the point where you can hear a pin drop. Angel giggles uncontrollably as she pulls my right ear lightly. “Look bro, you scared off everyone in town!”

I sigh tiredly as I pinch the bridge of my nose in annoyance. “Is this what the ponies do here when they see someone new, or is it because I just look that scary to them?”

“Mmm, they did this before when a Zebra named Zecora came through, but they become friends with her after the Elements of Harmony became friends with her,” she replies happily.

“Sounds like these people are nothing but pus-... owowow! That hurts, kiddo!”

Angel lets go my ear and bops me on the head. “What did I say about using bad words?”

“My bad, geez,” I tenderly rub my aching ear. “Ow that actually hurt. I think these new ears are more sensitive than our normal ones.”

“Sorry bro, but you forced to do that, and if you try to say another bad word, I’ll do it again,” she threateningly says as she puts her hand in front of my face making a pinching gesture. I go to playful bite her hand, but she quickly moves it away and giggles.

“Do that again and I’ll bite you,” I chuckle playfully. She hugs my head and nuzzles her face into mu head as she giggles again. Our little fun is interrupted when I pick up a weird sound. My ears start to swivel in different directions trying to pick up on it.

“Hey kiddo, you hear that?”

I feel her shifting around on my shoulders, meaning she’s probably trying to hear what I hear. “Nope, what is that your hearing?”

“I don’t know, but it sounds like it’s coming in fast,” my ears spike up and my body reacts on it’s own. I grab my sister and hold her against me. I quickly jump back just in jump to see something crash right in front of us. A large dust cloud obscures my vision, so I jump back a few times to get out of It to get a look at whatever made it. I was on edge now, my eyes narrowing at the cloud as I grip my sister close to me. I can feel my sister shaking a little from me suddenly grabbing her. She grips my shirt as she hides her face into my chest.

The dust cloud disperses from a strong wind blowing it away. There where I stood, was a girl with one of the most smug looks I have ever seen. Her violet eyes locked onto my hazel green ones and have one tense stare down. Her smug look gets even more smug as she shakes her head.

“Here I thought I’d be going up against some guy who’s big and tough that’s holding a filly hostage, but here I find is some scrawny punk,” she says with the most cockiest tomboyish voice. Just by her voice alone I wanted sock that smug look off her face.

“Pfft, Angel, is she friend or foe, cause if she’s foe then I’m ready lay her cocky ass out,” I say with annoyed attitude. I really don’t like people who get cocky with me. It really gets on my nerves.

Angel slowly looks over her shoulder to see who I was talking about, and in a instant she’s squealing in excitement.

She starts tugging on my shirt as she points to the girl who tried attacking me. “Big bro, that’s Rainbow Dash! She’s definitely friend!” She then stars to wave at her. “Hi, Rainbow Dash!”

The girl known as Rainbow Dash looks at us with a strange look and loses that smug look she had. She then jumps off the ground and starts to fly towards us. She hovers in front of us with a confused look. “So, he’s your older brother and some random guy holding you hostage?” she looks at my sister.

Angel mushes he face against mine and wraps her hands around my neck. “Yup! This is my big brother, Michael. Say hi, bro!”

I narrow my eyes at the rainbow haired girl. I look Rainbow Dash up and down and ignore her. I feel Angel start pulling on my ear again. I hiss in pain and look at her with an annoyed look. “Say hi, or I’ll keep pulling on your ear,” she pouts angrily.

I give Rainbow Dash a side look. “Hi,” I simply greet with no emotion.

Rainbow narrows her eyes at me. “What’s your deal? Why you gotta be a jerk for?”

“Oh, I dunno. Maybe because you attacked me for no apparent reason,” I growl out.

“I heard that you were some scary guy holding a filly hostage, so I acted,” she retorts back angrily.

“Yeah, acted stupid. If I hadn’t reacted as quick as I did you would’ve most likely hurt me and my sister,” I angrily shout at her. This gets her to fly back a bit, stunned at what I told her. She averts her eyes from mine, realizing I was right. She looks down shamefully to the floor, but I didn’t care. I was pissed and I wasn’t down with her yet. I was going to continue, but my sister tugs on my shirt to get my attention, but I accidentally avert my angered eyes onto Angel. She flinches back in surprise and tears start to well up in her eyes.

“Your scaring me, Michael,” she timidly says as she nuzzles her face into my chest. My anger quickly subsides as I rub her head.

“Sorry kiddo, I didn’t mean to snap on you like that,” I kiss the top of her head to reassure her. I then look towards Rainbow Dash and see that she still has her head held down. I take a step towards her and put a hand on her shoulder. Her eyes are now on me, but when we locked eyes I instantly regretted snapping at her like that. Her violet eyes had tears streaming down her face, and she held this looks that was stinging my heart from looking at it. I wipe her tears away with a finger, which she flinches, but doesn’t back away. I give her and apologetic look and begin. “Look, I’m sorry I shouted at you like that. I probably shouldn’t have snapped at you I’m that way, you were just trying to protect my sister and everyone here from a ‘scary looking guy’,” I lightly chuckle. I then look down sadly at my sister who still has her face caved into my chest. “My baby baby sister is the only thing I got right now, and it would pain me to see you get hurt, and if she didn’t I wouldn’t forgive myself for it,” I bow my head down apologetically to her. “I hope you understand, and forgive me for reacting that way towards you,” I say with the most sincerest voice.

I hear Rainbow sniffle and giggle, which I kind of found cute for some reason. She lands onto the ground and steps in front of me. “I totally get you dude,” I lift my head to look at her and find that she has a small blush across her face and seems to be averting her eyes away from mine. “I should be the one apologizing, I acted without thinking first, and for that... I’m sorry,” she then bows her head to me.

I chuckle lightly and bop her on the head, “Apology accepted, Skittles,” Rainbow giggles and wipes her tears away and nods her head.

“Now, how about you help me clear up things with the folks around here,” Rainbow nods her head and flies up. She stops a few feet up in the sky and cups her hands together over her mouth.

“Hey guys! It’s all cool, the guy is friendly and is not a scary stallion trying to hold a filly hostage. You can come out now!” she shouts out.

And with that said, the people start peeking out their houses. They then start to pile out and go on about their day like nothing ever happened. My eye twitches again. I feel like my eye is going to twitch more times than I’d like it to in the coming days.
