Evening Storm here, out on the road! I had meant to make a post about my departure, but well forgot. So I’ll give you a quick recap of what is going on: I sorta... Did something bad to a guard lately and don't know what to do about it. Nor am I achieving anything by hanging around the castle. I was chatting with Tiger Lily when she suggested that I should go out and ‘see the world’ a bit. It hit me that I’m IN Equestria, and I’ve spent all my time at Canterlot… Getting out and seeing what this world really has to offer is a GREAT idea. So here I am. A few days later, and I’m all packed and out on the road. First destination? PONYVILLE! I mean really, where else can I begin? Not sure where I’m heading after that. But it’ll certainly be another of the towns. Think I’m going to avoid the dangerous areas like Everfree for a while longer. At least until I can perfect a few of these defensive and offensive spells I’ve been working on. Also before you all ask, I HAVEN’T been setting myself on fire when attempting to learn these spells! … at least not that often… ANYWAY. I’ve been traveling about a day now and it’s gonna get dark soon. You might think Canterlot isn’t that far from Ponyville being you can see it from the town, but you’d be surprised how long this takes! Without a flying carriage, it’s a pretty good trek. Well I’m just stopping for dinner before hitting the ‘hay’ so to speak. By the way, you have NO idea how weird it is that I can technically ‘eat’ my bed if I so desire. I’ve woken up a few times at night realizing I’m chewing on my mattress. I’ve got to find something else to sleep on. Well, before I go, I suppose you’d like to know how this laptop is working when I’m not around any ponynet hookups. Well you can thank Paracelsus for that. He’s this earth pony Tiger Lily introduced me to. He’s basically a mad scientist, though don’t tell him I said that. (Oh god I hope he doesn’t read this) He basically made it so it works and connects anywhere I am. Sorta like satalight back in the human world, but I think this works on magic waves or something. Works really well! All I have to do is connect my own magic to it, and it pretty much types my thoughts down! It’s really- Wait… Did that Rabbit just steal my food? IT DID! GET BACK HERE YOU LITTLE- * * * Evening Storm's Travels #2 Let me start off by saying that bunnies are EVIL! Oh SURE you wouldn’t think so, being how cute they look. But believe me, they are little MONSTERS! That bunny that stole my dinner? Yeah, he was just a distraction! While I was chasing him, some of his friends came in and RAIDED my food bag! I’m lucky to have ANY food left! The damn brats! I swear if I ever see those things again… Well… Assuming Fluttershy isn’t around when I do… Anyway, it’s a good thing I was going to Ponyville anyway. This means I can restock. I sorta helped out with the libaray and stuff back at Canterlot, and along with some funds from both Paracelsus and Tiger Lily. I have MORE then enough bits to get me through this Journey. Er… Keep that on the downlow. I’m not sure if there are Pony bandits yet… Anyway, I’m just giving a quick update to say that I can SEE Ponyville from where I’m standing! It’s… An amazing sight really. To be able to see it in such a way… I think I can ‘just’ make out Twilight’s Tree… What? Um… Okay Everyone? My path to Ponyville basically took me around this Mountain Path. (Don’t say it!) And well… To my left a few yards away is this cave… Where voices are echoing out of. I’m hearing many words of ‘Being Lost’ and “So much for Cutie Mark Cave Explorers”… I can only GUESS what that means, and well… I think I’d better go help them. I’ll catch you all later. * * * Evening Storm's Travels #3 Well… That was… Uh… So I’m sure you are all wondering what happened when I left you last time. Sure enough, located rather deep in the cave. (I’m honestly surprised I heard their voices!) I found three little fillies. An Earth pony, a Unicorn pony, and a Pegasus pony. All covered in tree sap. (HOW tree sap? HOW in a cave? HOW HOW HOW!?) So yeah… I’ve now met Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo… After leading them back out of the cave. (I used my horn to leave trail markings on the walls. Something they didn’t think to do apparently) I shared with them what little food I had left as I’m sure they were probably in there for hours. They were very happy to be free of the cave, and happy to be fed. They asked me so many questions, over half I was never even given the chance to answer! Obviously one question that came up was what my cutie mark meant, and why I had it. I explained to them the best I could understand it. Though they wanted to see my cast a spell anyway. I thought I’d turn water into snow. Not too much harm in that, and it should be pretty easy right? Well I got the part of making the water ‘white’. But everything else went HORRIBLY wrong! It instead turned into mayonnaise and then exploded, covering us in the stuff. (PS: You have ANY idea how hard it was to make up a lie about why I was laughing so hard when Applebloom decided to comment DIRECTLY AFTER THAT “Well we certainly aren’t getting a cutie mark for making mayonnaise sandwhiches…” ) Anyway, after a quick bath. (No I didn’t bath WITH them you sickos) They INSISTED that they introduce me to their sisters and friends. Part of me is rather excited about this prospect. While a larger part of me has a feeling I just got myself into something very dangerous… There’s the entrance to Ponyville Now. Guess I’ll update you to my ‘meetings’ with each pony as they happen… * * * Evening Storm's Travels #4 Hello everypony! I’m here in the Carousel Boutique! This place looks a LOT different when you are actually inside it, compared to seeing videos or pictures of it. Anyway, I’m just here messing with this laptop Paracelsus gave me. This SyncroMagic technology he put in it is amazing! You already know I just have to connect my magic to it to type. But I’m suppose to be able to do more as my magic integrates more with the system. I recently found I can turn something called the ‘Voice Processor’ on. But it doesn’t seem to do anything. I mean it will type what I say in quotation marks, but it’ll do that anyway if I think it to happen. He said there is a webcam on this thing, but I’ll be darned if I can get the bloody thing to work. Oh, you are probably wondering what happened with the CMC. Well they are in the back, which is where Rarity went. We stopped by here first as I wanted to commission her for my own personal saddle bags. (Yes I could have done that at Canterlot, but like YOU wouldn’t go to Rarity if you could!) She was so thankful that I had helped Sweetie Belle and her friends, that she offered to do the job for me for free! I should have them sometime tomorrow! Course it means I’ll have to crash somewhere in town for the night, but spending a day or two in Ponyville doesn’t sound like that bad a deal to me. … I almost wonder if I should tell you guys about this but well… I’ve discovered another one of those ‘weird’ things about being a pony now… Rarity… Well uh… You know how she’s pretty and all? That… That kinda becomes REALLY obvious when you see her. I mean, it’s one thing to see a picture but uh… Well… I mean I saw her bending down and stuff as she was looking for supplies earlier and well… I uh… Oh geez… “Wow, I’m glad I’m not a pegasus right now, other wise I’d have something really awkward to explain. I wonder if I should type that?” Rarity: “What should you type deary? Evening Storm: “Oh uh! Nothing. Just updating a journey journal- Wait what the. Is it picking up our voices and posting our conversation? I didn’t know it could do that!” Rarity: “My My My, that’s certainly some computer if it can do THAT! So what sort of things were you typing? Oh! Were you giving your thoughts on any of my ensembles? Oh! Let me see!” Evening Storm: “Oh uh, no, it’s just boring journey stuff, you wouldn’t want to see it- (It picked up my wingboner comment! I can’t let her see that- AH IT’S PICKING UP THIS!) Rarity: “Oh but if you’ve been writing reviews of my work, you MUST let me see it! You must! You must! You must!” Evening Storm: “I! It’s… Uh! Uh!… OH MY! LOOK AT THAT SCARF OVER THERE! DID YOU MAKE IT!? Rarity: “What scarf? Oh you mean this? Why yes! In fact my sister Sweetie Belle helped me make it! Didn’t she do a great job?” Evening Storm: “Oh yes! It’s certainly one of the best scarfs I’ve ever seen! Okay! Stop! Stop this post computer! It’s finished! Wait doesn’t that make it post- WAIT DON’T POST TH- * * * Evening Storm's Travels #5 This thing on? Hello? Hello?… Why am I thinking for it to type hello as if I was testing it for sound? Okay it’s on. Hello everyone. I uh… Apologize for my last post. Didn’t mean to uh… Post it like that. I’d have deleted it, but I figure most of you have seen it already, and well this stupid thing won’t let me even edit that post. It’s almost like it’s against me. >_> The rest of my stay there was… Interesting. (No nothing happened that isn’t NSFW. Do ponies use that term?) *Sigh* I did however end up with that scarf… You see Sweetie Belle came out from the back while I was praising it, in order to distract Rarity from the blog post. (It didn’t work, but by that time the laptop had shut down, and I lied and said the post must have been lost when it did that) Well Sweetie Belle asked me if I, and I quote: ‘Truly REALLY liked it’ and well… YOU tell her ‘No’ when she’s looking at you with eyes that big. >_< She was so happy to hear that I liked it so much, that she asked Rarity if she could give it to me as a present for helping her out. Of course Rarity didn’t mind. She was just pleased that someone praised her sister’s work. So now I have a scarf… Now I know what you are all thinking. Something is wrong with it right? Well no. It’s actually very well stitched, and I have a feeling it’s because Rarity overlooked the entire project. So no, nothing is wrong with it: ‘In it’s construction’ See the issue I have is… It’s BRIGHT pink… With little red valentine hearts stitched down the middle… What am I suppose to DO with this!? No way am I throwing it away. I’ve seen enough television back on earth to know that Sweetie Belle would find out SOMEHOW. But forgive me if I don’t really want to WEAR it either… Rarity DID of course know it wasn’t exactly ‘fitting’ for me to wear, but she reasoned that I could give it to my ‘special somepony’ as a gift. … Thanks Rarity. I’m SURE THAT’LL happen. >_< Anyway, the next stop is Apple Acres Farm. I need some new supplies after being VICIOUSLY ATTACKED BY RABBITS (Note: These underlined words should actually have a 'strike trough' effect on them, but this site doesn't seem to have that while tumblr does.) Robbed by little bunnies. I’ll just have to remember not to have any er… ‘embarrassing thoughts’ while visiting. Or at least be more careful with when I update this thing. Travel Logs 6-10 + BonusEvening Storm's Travels #6 Well I have to say, my visit to Apple Acres Farm so far hasn’t been so… Problematic as my visit to the Carousel Boutique… For one, I’m watching where AppleJack headed off to, so I’ll hopefully not be surprised when she comes back, and be forced to close this laptop before she see’s what I’m doing typing. I’m also taking care not to think anything uh… Inappropriate while typing out this blog. (Even if I find AppleJack rather- AH! No! Damn this stupid Syncromagic system! Stop typing everything I think!) Anyway, things are going rather well. For helping out Apple Bloom, I’m getting a rather nice discount on all the supplies I’m buying. You know, just to go on a side note. It’s kinda funny how much I find myself liking apples now. I mean I liked them before I came to Equestria sure, but well… I dunno. They just seem to… Taste better? It’s hard to explain. Being a pony, I’ve found a lot of things I didn’t like before, I love now. Like tomatoes. I couldn’t stand them in my old body, but somehow this body finds them rather nice. Do new bodies come with new taste buds? I STILL hate cauliflower though. Go figure… Anyway I’m off topic. The farm. I’m sure you probably guessed this but this place is HUGE. I mean seriously, it’s nothing but apple trees EVERYWHERE. Can you just imagine when AppleJack tried to buck all these herself?! It’s INSANE. She’s certainly a strong pony alright. Pretty sleek looking too. That mane and tail of hers suit her perfectly. I rather like the hat too. … She still not around? Big Mac not around? Screw it. She’s hot. There I said it. I can’t help it! Do you have ANY idea how weird it is for me to realize that!? She’s a pony, and I can’t help but gaze at her lovely form. I think the shape of the body is a huge factor in attractiveness when it comes to being a pony. I’m not sure. This is all rather new to me, and I’m still weirded out by the realization that I er… Want to ‘hit the hay’ with AppleJack so to speak. Apple Bloom: “Whats ‘hitting the hay’ mean?” Evening Storm: “GAH! Apple Bloom! Where did you come from!?” Apple Bloom: “Over there. Didna yall see me?” Evening Storm: “No! I was busy typing! How much did you see!?” Apple Bloom: “Just that part bout hitting hay. That a game or something?” Evening Storm: “Why yes! Yes it IS a game! It’s where you bundle up some hay. Tie a rope around it, and then buck it to see how far you can get it. I use to play it when about your age all the time!” Apple Bloom: “Wow, that sounds pretty fun! What say we have a round while yer waiting?” Evening Storm: “Oh I don’t know about that. What if we aren’t suppose to move this hay?” AppleJack: “Why would you be moving my hay?” Apple Bloom: “For a game! It’s called ‘Hitting the hay’. Old Stormy here-“ Evening Storm: “Stormy?” Apple Bloom: “-was telling me all about it! You bundle up hay and hog tie it so it’s all together like. Then ya buck it to see how far you can get it. Says he wanted to play the game with you big sis!” Applejack: “Oh really now? Sounds a mighty bit odd. Doesn’t ‘hit the hay’ mean sleeping anyhow?” (DOH! It does mean that!) Evening Storm: “Oh yeah, forgot about that. I’m so used to calling the game that. I use to be the champion of it where I was growing up. Been years since I played it though. (This is going to end badly isn’t it? Just please don’t think I meant something else!) Big Macintosh: “Sounds like a mighty… FINE game to me. Eeeyep…” (Oh god he’s glaring at me!) Evening Storm: “Look, forget I mentioned it. It’s just with all the apple bucking you must do around here, I thought it’d be pretty neat to try my luck, but obviously you’re all too busy-“ Apple Jack: “Well shoot! Ain’t too busy for some friendly competition! Let’s set up the playing field! Come with me Mr. Evening Storm. We’ll set everything up proper and let the best pony win!” Rainbow Dash: “Did somepony say competition?! I’m in!” Scootaloo: “Rainbow Dash!” (Ugh. Lap top. Shut down. I’m going to blow one of your circuits at this rate of vocal exchanges…) Evening Storm's Travels #7 Hey there everypony. Man am I beat! … Do ponies use the term ‘man’? Ugh, why do I ask weird questions when tired? Anyway, I’ve got a few food supplies. Obviously I don’t want JUST apple products as my food source, so I’ll be stopping at a few other places. Think I might give Carrot Top’s place a try. I like Carrots. Not sure where else to go however. Where would you get food supplies? Oh and before you ask, the corn wasn’t ready for eating yet. So I couldn’t get any of that. Of did you forget Applejack also grows that? … Okay I’ve avoided it long enough. You want to know how the game went right? Do I ‘really’ have to spell out who won? Applejack creamed me. Though I did much better then I expected. Applejack even commented on how it was clear I hadn’t played since a colt, but still had some of the strength left. I think it’s because I use to bike a lot in the human realm, and now I walk around a lot. Or would that be ‘trot’ around a lot? Do ponies walk? Whatever. Too tired. …Am I forgetting something? … Oh yeah! Rainbow Dash! I didn’t get to talk to her much actually. She lost interest in the compitition when she found it involved bucking hay. Guess her Fall Weather Friends thing taught her not to challenge Applejack to a ‘bucking’ contest. I’d say it’s out of character for her to back down, but then again, Scootaloo wouldn’t leave her alone either… I kinda cut my visit of the farm short. I’m sad I didn’t get to meet Caramel. He’s actually one of my favorite stallions from the show, but the looks Big Mac were giving me… Okay, you know how the big brother sometimes won’t like the guys giving their ‘little sister’ attention? That happens here too. He did NOT like me hanging around her. I think he realized I find her rather attractive… I blame the cowmare hat. It just gives her this untamed sexyness. Ironically though, despite that image I figure she’ll make a great mother. Assuming anypony can get past her hulk brother. No way I could manage… … Dear Celestia, am I REALLY considering these things? What… What’s happening to me? Sometimes I think… I can’t remember what human woman look like… I keep seeing mares. The things I’m wanting to do with them… I’m… Scared… I don’t know how to handle these thoughts… These feelings… Ugh, best I just ignore them right now. I… I don’t think I can face this just yet… Anyway, it’s early evening, but I’m kinda beat. Maybe I should go find a hotel? Then again, beat I may be, but sleepy I am not. I did want to drop by Twilight’s today. Being she is the Princess’s number 1 student, and town librarian. I’m sure she’s got some good research material on magic. I’d love to get my hands on some of that if I could. It WOULD give me something to do… Hmmm… This IS an ask tumblr blog. I could see if I have any questions to answer while I wait for their responses… Hmm… Why not? I’m letting YOU my readers decide! Should I go find a hotel now? Or drop by Twilight’s first? (NOTE FROM EVENING STORM: Just to let my readers on FimFiction know: This FimFiction place is just a 'collection' of my travels. My actual tumblr, linked in the description to this story, obviously updates before this place, and is where the ponies/whoever that reads my tumblr can answer such questions. I'll always try to archive my travels here when I get five of them. Sadly, you can't really contact me through this, so if you are reading this here, you can't vote as it's already passed. :/ ) (ANOTHER NOTE: Being my travel tumblr, IS a tumblr. Ponies are able to ask me questions about my travels. Questions I will gladly answer. Such as this one: ) rainev1 asks: So Storm, between pegasi, unicorns and earth ponies, which are generally the most attractive? Ugh, here I wanted to put these thoughts out of my mind for the moment. *sigh* No no, I’ll answer now. Better to get it over with. Out of sight, out of mind… To be honest, I think I find unicorns most attractive. Though I’m not sure if that’s because I AM a Unicorn, or because of some leftover feelings I have from before my ponyness. I’ve always liked Unicorns. Their aura of mystery. The sent of magic. A hidden splash of grace. Then again, I just got done talking about Applejack and how sexy she seems to me. Maybe it’s the mane and tail. I don’t know. Pegasus I seem to find the least attractive, but I think it’s because I don’t know of many. Fluttershy is VERY cute, but a bit TOO timid for my likes… While Rainbow Dash… Well, I hope I don’t sound shallow, but the tommare was never really my type… I do find this kind of… Dangerous allure to Spitfire though. Though I doubt she’d find me interesting in return… Ugh, this is all so confusing. Do you have any idea how cute I find you? Your blue color, the purple hair. The- DEAR LUNA AND CELESTIA! What am I saying!? Uh! Uh!… J-just ignore me! Sorry! Evening Storm's Travels #8 Okay, so I’ve looked over the responses. (Ponies follow my tumblr! I wonder if I’ll ever get to meet any of you during my travels?) I got one vote to go to the hotel and two to go see Twilight at the Library first. …Then one to challenge Twilight to a magical duel… You DO realize that’s like asking me to vanquish an actual Ursa Major right? And I do mean MAJOR, not the minor Twilight has defeated. You know what? I TOTALLY did that. Twilight won. Anyway, that’s two to one, so it looks like I’m going to visit Twilight first! I’ve actually been trotting along (do ponies say they walked somewhere? Is it considered walking if you are a pony?) Levitating my laptop while updating this. I’m really beginning to get the hang of this levitation magic. About time I suppose. I’ve been a unicorn for over half a year now! I think this is my seventh month? Or is it my eighth? I really don’t know anymore. The more I’m a pony, the less I remember of my old life… Sometimes I wonder if my old self will disappear entirely… Oh… I’m here… … Okay I’m sure you aren’t wondering why I’m hesitating. I bet you all figured it out. Everypony… Twilight is my favorite of the mane six. If there was ANY mare I’d like to spend a quiet night by the fireplace with… It’s Twilight. Given how today has been going, I’m a bit frightened to go knock… What if I can’t control myself? What if I say something stupid? What if I give myself away to what I once was?! What if Spike is looking at me with a strange expression because I’m blocking his path to the door- EEP! Spike: “Uh… Can I help you or something?” Evening Storm: “Oh! Uh… Sorry about that. Is… Is Twilight home?” (Gah! I sound like I’m trying to ask if she can come out and play! >_< ) Spike: “Do… You have business with Twilight?” (Oh Celestia, the look he’s giving me. Yeah I bet I look pretty suspicious…) Evening Storm: “Oh sorry… I guess I must look rather odd. I’m from Canterlot. I’m a student of magic studies. I’ve heard Twilight knows a lot on the subject and just wanted to see if she had any suggestions for studying materials…” Spike: “Oh! You’re one of those ponies! Yeah Twilight knows a LOT about magic. She’s the Princess’ Number 1 student you know!” Evening Storm: “Huh… I heard rumors, but didn’t know that was for real!” (Oh Celestia, I hope I’m a convincing enough actor to pull that off!) Spike: “Oh yeah! She’s the most magical unicorn in town! I bet she could give you a whole stack of stuff to study!… Except it’s all over the ground inside right now…” Spike: *Sigh* Evening Storm: “So she’s busy studying herself right now? Should I come back later?” (… That didn’t sound right…) Spike: “Well sorta, She’s actually not here right now. She went to visit Zecora, oh she’s this Zebra, but don’t worry she’s cool, about some herbs and such while I ran errands in town.” Evening Storm: “Working on something big?” Spike: “You could say that. She’s been asked by the Princess herself to help uh… ‘Somepony’ with something…” Evening Storm: (I have a feeling my eyebrow is raised) “Somepony?” Spike: “Uh… I’m not suppose to talk about it… Can you uh… Not tell Twilight I slipped?” Evening Storm: “Sure thing Spi- I mean, baby dragon I’ve never met…” (*Sigh* He’s giving me a look again. Stupid Evening Storm!) Spike: “It’s… Spike. What’s your name?” Evening Storm: “Glad to meet you Spike! (I’m shaking hands with SPIKE!) You may call me Evening Storm!” New Vocals: “I KNEW IT! THAT IS YOU! YOU DISASTER ON LEGS!” Evening Storm: “EEEEEEEEP! OW!” Spike: “Dust Storm!? Are you crazy!? Why did you rush through the door and tackle him!?” Dust Storm: “WHY!? WHY!?! HE’S THE REASON I’M LIKE THIS!” Spike: : “YOU turned this guy into a mare?” Evening Storm: “AHH! IT WAS AN ACCIDENT! AN ACCIDENT!?” Dust Storm: “ACCIDENT!? Do you have ANY idea the horrors I’ve faced this last month!? NOTHING has changed me back! I’ve been laughed at by my colleges! The Great Princess Celestia finally sent me to her number one student in hopes SHE would be able to restore me! AND IT’S ALL BECAUSE OF YOU! WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT ALL THIS!?” Evening Storm: “Um… I really like… You’re mane?” (Oh geez why did I say that!? She’s going to kill me! I didn’t know Pegasus wings flared out like that in anger!) Bon Bon: “Oh dear, a lover’s spat! In the middle of the road no less!” Lyra: “Awww, How cute!” (AHH! STOP TALKING! HER FACE IS GETTING RED WITH ANGER!) Dust Storm: “… We’ll continue this INSIDE” (I’m… Dead…) Evening Storm's Travels #9 Twilight Sparkle: “…So let me get this straight. YOU are the unicorn pony that turned this Pegasus Stallion into, well pardon my classification, lovely mare?” Dust Storm: “Do you HAVE to call me lovely?” Evening Storm: “Well… Yes, but I wasn’t TRYING to turn her into a mare!” Twilight Sparkle: “Can… Can you tell me how it happened?” Dust Storm: “He screwed up a spell! That’s how it happened! Now I’m STUCK like this!” Evening Storm: “I didn’t think you’d still be stuck like that! I thought it’d be a simple dispel or something!” Twilight Sparkle: “Are you kidding!? I never even considered such a spell POSSIBLE! To think that you managed to change a stallion of Dust Storm’s stature into the pretty mare before us! It’s AMAZING!” Dust Storm: “STOP CALLING ME PRETTY!” (Uh oh, her face is going red again. Better see if I can calm her down!) Evening Storm: “Look, it was a mistake! I’ll do whatever it takes to fix it okay?” Dust Storm: “You’d BETTER…” (…That voice is like pure venom… If Twilight hadn’t come home not ten minutes after I was dragged in here, I’m sure I’d be dead…) Twilight Sparkle: “Well that’s the thing. I don’t know how one even DOES something like this. That’s why I was consulting with Zecora. I had hoped that her knowledge might shed some light on this problem.” Dust Storm: “And?” Twilight Sparkle:” Nothing for me to go on yet. If I knew what spell you were casting when this happened…” Evening Storm: “Well how much do you know?” Twilight Sparkle: “Only what the Princess Told me. She said that some powerful magic spell went haywire somewhere in the castle, and that it caused the genderswitch on Dust Storm here. The Princess said she sent her to me, as she was certain I’d have the answer to her problem…” (She looks stressed… Judging what I know about her, I’d say she not only doesn’t have the answer, but doesn’t even know where to begin looking…) Evening Storm: “Okay, well basically all I did was try to cast a uh… ‘Blooming spell’ Twilight Sparkle: “… On Dust storm?” Evening Storm: “NO! No, on some flowers of course! I was trying to learn magic! It was suppose to be a training spell! I just wanted to make a rose bloom!” Twilight Sparkle: “What? That’s not possible! How can such a simple spell lead to this? Why were you even trying to learn magic? You’re as old as me! You should have all sorts of education in magic!” Evening Storm: “Uh… I kinda come from far away. We don’t have many schools there for this sorta thing. It’s why I went to Canterlot.” Dust Storm: “Nevermind that! How do we FIX me!?” Twilight Sparkle: “Ugh, I don’t know! How did that spell even change you? Were you even in the room?” Dust Storm: “He wasn’t IN a room! He was casting this out in the gardens! I went over demanding to know what he was up to when he spun around and blasted me with his bucking spell! Next thing I know, I’m waking up as the ‘fairer sex’. Though I’m hard pressed to find ANYTHING about this as fair!” Evening Storm: “Well you startled me!” Dust Storm: “And YOU always cause trouble with your magic! Remember when you turned that wagon into bread!? My only regret is the birds ATE the bloody thing before I could show it to the Princess! As it was, we had to buy ANOTHER one!” Twilight Sparkle: “You made a wagon change to bread? What spell were you casting there?” Evening Storm: “I… I was trying to change it’s color to red…” Twilight Sparkle: “And instead you changed it into bread…” Evening Storm: “Look! I get it okay?! I suck at magic. I once tried to use it to groom my mane, and all it did was set me on fire!” Dust Storm: “Heh, that was one of the funny ones…” (Gah! I want to be mad at her, but it’s my bucking fault she’s even… Well a SHE right now…) Twilight Sparkle: “This entire thing is crazy! The magic you describe is some pretty strong ability! Didn’t anypony at the castle help you with it!?” Dust Storm: “You kidding? It’s like nopony even NOTICED. I was the only one. It’s like the Princess’s gave him free reign! I kept trying to tell them about him, but I could never get an audience till my… Misshap.” Evening Storm: “You told them then?” (…Does she HAVE to glare at me like that?) Dust Storm: “No, I had more PRESSING matters on my mind…” Twilight Sparkle: “Okay enough of this arguing! We’re not going to get anywhere like this! Evening Storm. Do you have a place to stay tonight?” Evening Storm: “Not yet, was going to hit the INN after this.” Twilight Sparkle: “No need, you’ll stay here tonight. We’ve got a lot of work to do, and it may take all night.” Evening Storm: “But uh… Isn’t… Isn’t that like inappropriate or something?” Twilight Sparkle: “I don’t understand what you mean. We’ve got a lot of research to do, and I have many more questions and tests I need you to help me with. It only makes sense for you to spend the night!” Evening Storm: “Y-You don’t have a problem w-w-with me s-staying here?” Twilight Sparkle: “Why? Are you nervous about the tests? Don’t worry, they won’t be hard!” Evening Storm: “Uh that’s not-“ Dust Storm: “Can it Stormy. I’m going to be here as well!” Evening Storm: “What!?” Twilight Sparkle: “Well of course she’ll be staying as well! How else am I suppose to analyze the spell on her?” Dust Storm: “That’s right, and believe me Stormy. I’m going to be WATCHING you.” Pinkie Pie: “Like a pony? Or were you going to say hawk? A lot of ponies seem to be saying that lately, but I just don’t get it. How can you watch someone like a hawk when you are CLEARLY a pony? I mean HELLO!” (GAH! Where did she COME FROM!? I swear nopony was next to me not five seconds ago! How does she DO that!?) Pinkie Pie: “Hi! I’m Pinkie Pie! And I came in through the window!” Evening Storm: “Um… Okay…” (Did she read my mind!?) Pinkie Pie: “Nice to meet you! Oh! By the way Evening Storm! Did you know your laptop is on?” Evening Storm: “What? It shouldn’t be on! Let me see that…” Twilight Sparkle: “I may regret asking this, but why are you even here Pinkie?” Pinkie Pie: “Well, I was at Sugar Cube Cornor when I realized we had new ponies in town! So I wanted to throw them a party! But then I remembered that I threw a party yesterday, and I DID promise to space out my parties more, so I thought, maybe a small party, but I didn’t know what to make it about, because we can’t make it about Dust Storm being a mare, because she doesn’t like being a mare, even though I think she looks SUPER DUPER CUTE as one!” Dust Storm: “W-what!?” (Is she blushing? Wait, this thing really IS on? Shut down! Shut Down!) Pinkie Pie: “So then I thought, maybe a party for dropping by, Ponyville! But then I didn’t know how many ponies to invite to that and-“ Evening Storm's Travels #10 Hey… Everypony… … Sorry I’m kinda tired… … Hmm… Oh, you probably want to know what’s up with Pinkie Pie right? … Do you think she knows? About me I mean? She knew about Dust Storm… … What am I going to do? I’m in Twilight’s home… THE Princess’s Prized pupil. No way I’m not going to get reported to her… The Princess I mean… I’m… I’m scared… What will happen if she finds out about me? I’m a pony. I mean… Human… I… Am I still human? I… I think I remember what it was like… …What’s happening? What am I doing? I’m sorry… My mind is scattered right now… Okay. So… Current situation: Pinkie has decided to hold a party for Dust Storm and I tomorrow. Well with much ‘convincing’ on Twilight’s part. I think the party is going to be a simple ‘Friendship’ party. Pinkie says Dust Storm and I need to make some friends. So, with her gone for the night, Twilight got to work on trying to figure out what went wrong with my spell. So that’s were we currently are. She’s already given myself an intense magical scan. … Did you all think something dirty? All I did was stand there as she used her own magic to scan me. She even told me flat out all it’d do was gauge my magic levels. Right now she’s doing the same to Dust Storm. The process takes a good several minutes, which is why I decided to take the time to update you all on tumblr. To be honest part of me wants to run. Gallop away as fast as I can. But… But I can’t leave Dust Storm like this… It’s MY fault she’s a mare now… She’s a mare because I bucked up. … Can I ask you all something? Do you wish you were in my hooves? Er Shoes… Proverbial shoes? Is that even the right phrase? Oh Horseapples, you know what I mean. I just wonder. How many people would love to be a pony in Equestria? How many would give anything to go on the very journey I’m on now? I won’t lie. So far it’s been amazing. I’ve studied in Canterlot. I’ve trekked across a country yard you’d be hard pressed to find back… Well you know… I’ve met Rarity, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, even Twilight Sparkle. I’ve… I’ve MET them. Spoken with them. I’ve… Had thoughts about them I wish I hadn’t… Guys I’m SO CLOSE to Twilight right now. She was always my favorite of the mane six… I think I said that already… Sorry. I… I can’t help it. I wish I could catch her eye or something you know? Get to know her, possibly form something ‘more’ then a friendship with her. The two of us… Together on a rainy night… Cuddled together under a blanket by the fireplace… (She even have one? Wouldn’t that burn the tree down? I’m going off topic) Maybe have a good book to read… Cup of coco… I feel like I know her already. But… Well… She knows NOTHING about me. I don’t think Twilight even HAS those kind of thoughts about Stallions. Besides who am I? In the world I came from, I’d just be some random OC pony. Yeah, me and Twilight? The fans would eat me alive. Well… At the very least I might have a friendship with her. If I get that, it’d be more then anything I’d have hoped for… There’s still so much more to all this then just that however… NegaStorm is still out there. I still need to help fix Dust Storm… And then… Then there is ‘her’ I haven’t really talked about ‘her’ much on this blog. I think I wrote down a dream or two way back. Before I got this new laptop. I haven’t heard from the White Alicorn in my dreams for a while now. I kinda hope it STAYS that way. … Take it from me everypony- er one… This… ‘situation’ I’m in? A pony in this world? It’s… It’s both great… And really REALLY scary… Because of me, a stallion may have to live their life in a body not their own… Am I just going to ruin lives while here? Spike: “Hey Evening Storm! What you up to?” Evening Storm: “Oh hey Spike. I’m just updating my tumblr blog. What’s up?” Spike: “I think Twi is about done with her magic scan on Dust Storm. She’ll want to start the tests up pretty soon. Trust me I know her.” Evening Storm: “Ah, guess I should head down there then. Be right there.” Sorry ponies, looks like it’s time to get magic testing. I’ll have to check back in with all of you later! (OOC NOTE: You may be wondering a bit about Dust Storm. For a bit more insight on this character: ) http://videomaster21xx.tumblr.com/post/14509784248/did-i-really-just-dream-that-pony-dream-staring Travel Logs 11-15 + More Bonus ContentEvening Storm’s Travels #11 -Evening Storm, the jet black pony stallion gazed over the sleeping form of the beautiful pegasus mare, Dust Storm. It was his fault that she was a mare. The grief clawed at him. Even more due to the guilt he felt at the thoughts running through his head. The truth was that she was lovely. Perfectly curved. Her delicate frame like a flower twirling in the breeze. He found her pretty. Intoxicating even, and that only made it all the worse. How could he think such things? She wasn’t suppose to be like this. He had hurt her. He had ruined her life. “Mmm, what?” She spoke suddenly opening her eyes to stare right at him. He froze frightened. He hadn’t meant to watch her while she slept. She had just looked so adorable. He couldn’t help himself. But now she’d scream at him. Scream at him for making her what she was. Accuse him of being a stalker. He couldn’t argue with her. He knew he’d never make it up to her… What he’d done… “Evening Storm?” She said with a mixture of shock and embarrassment. ”What do YOU want?” “I-I’m sorry…” He said quietly… “I’m sorry for everything…” He hung his head, shamed. “It’s my fault you are like this. I’m a terrible pony... “N-no I’m sorry…” She said suddenly. Drawing his head up in shock. What did she say? “W-what?” He repeated, eyes wide. The entire time he had known Dust Storm, he had NEVER heard her apologize herself! “I shouldn’t have kept bothering you about your spells. I.. I know you were just practicing. It’s just… You always looked so excited to try a spell. It… It made me jealous. I’ve always wanted to use magic, but I can’t being what I am… I think I took it out on you. Can you forgive me?” He couldn’t speak. Could’t formulate any kind of response. Was this a dream? She couldn’t really be saying these things was she? “Truth be told, I always found your exploits rather amusing. Dealing with you was always a highlight of my day… Then when you turned me into a mare by mistake. Well I was angry at first, but then… uh…” She moved out of bed to inch toward him. The look in her eyes that of longing. He tried to run, but his legs had locked. He couldn’t comprehend her words. Was she saying she didn’t mind being a mare? That couldn’t be right could it? “I… I think my feelings have grown a bit… Different towards you now…” Her head rubbed up against his neck, sending shivers down his spine. The touch of their skin causing both to feel chills. She was being so bold! So forward. Could this really be happening? He realized with a start that what was befalling was no mere dream. This was reality! Gazing into her eyes, he saw her inching in for a kiss. Wanting nothing more in the entire land of Equestria just then, he leaned forward- Evening Storm: “PINKIE! Why do you have my laptop open!?” Pinkie Pie: “Uh. No reason at all! What’s up?” Evening Storm: “Twilight gave us a small break from the tests… Why won’t you let me see the screen?” Pinkie Pie: “Oh no reason. I just don’t want you to see the super secret party plans I have written up for your party tomorrow!” Evening Storm: “Oh I guess that makes sense… Wait why did you need to use my laptop?” Pinkie Pie: “Because I didn’t have any paper silly!” Evening Storm: “We’re in Twilight’s Library. She has tons of paper!” Pinkie Pie: “Oops. Silly me!” Evening Storm: “… Let me see the screen” Pinkie Pie: “Nopey Dopey Lopey!” Evening Storm: “It’s my laptop Pinkie! Let me see!” Pinkie Pie: “No!” Evening Storm: “Stop running away with it and let me see!” Pinkie Pie: “Never!” Evening Storm: “GIVE ME MY LAPTOP PINKIE!” Pinkie Pie: “NO! IT’S FOR THE CUSTOMER!” Evening Storm: “THAT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE!” Evening Storm’s Travels #12 Um… Hey everypony… Um… I… I have a problem… Okay, you know the magic tests we were having last night? Yeah they went pretty late. So late that the three of us… Well we fell asleep downstairs. There were some cushions and such, so it wasn’t that bad. I actually went to sleep behind this couch of hers that we had dragged to the center of the room sometime during the tests. Yeah, those tests… I’m sure Twilight wants to look over the results… Spike, Dust Storm and myself all had to convince her to get some sleep first. She was so tired. Dust Storm was so tired. They were uh, not as tired as I thought they were I guess. Or they like to uh… Sleep trot… … Okay, time to stop beating around the bush. You see I was alone when I went to sleep. I’m NOT alone right now… On one side of me, her head resting lovingly upon the back of my lower neck is Twilight Sparkle. She is VERY MUCH pressed against me. It’s uh… Making it a bit difficult to keep this connection to my laptop which is still on a table several feet from me. Thank GOD I was able to use just enough magic to bring it close enough to at least turn it on and type this. Now you may be wondering why I said ‘on one side’ … Yeah Dust Storm is curled up against my OTHER side. Her wing draped over my back. I… I never noticed just how… Sexy(Wait strike that), That is, uh… ‘Alluring’ she is as a mare… I feel weird. I mean I knew her as a Stallion, but seeing her all curled up next to me like this in that mare’s body… GAH THIS IS DRIVING ME INSANE! I want to… But I can’t… It wouldn’t be right… -THEY- -ARE- -SO- -GOING- -TO- -KILL- -ME- -WHEN- -THEY- -WAKE- -UP- Before you ask, yes I tried to escape. It didn’t work. Both of them flinched and snuggled closer when I tried to do that. Twilight mumbling something about not finished reading. I think she’s dreaming I’m a book. Dust Storm just said ‘Comfy’. Probably thinks I’m a pillow or something. I haven’t seen Spike anywhere, so I can’t ask him to help me… Guys what am I going to do? Twilight will either just be embarrassed, or appalled at this situation when she wakes up. But Dust Storm? Ever seen what a Pegasus pony can do with their wings? Some have enough magic control to turn them into a make shift blade. I’ve seen this one white Pegasus demonstrate it a few times, and I know for a fact Dust Storm is capable of it. I don’t feel like getting sliced in half. What makes this all worse is what my hormones are asking, and you can all shut up about that. I dare you to be in my situation and not have that problem. >_< So… Yeah… I’d like to NOT be in this situation when they wake up… Any ideas? Evening Storm’s Travels #12.5 Okay, so it’s been about an hour, so time to check to see what suggestions I’ve been given: rainev1 answered your question: Evening Storm’s Travels #12 Just enjoy snuggling with them while you can. If this is your final night, might as well make it a good one. Actually I think I’m enjoying this a bit TOO much… volt229 answered your question: Evening Storm’s Travels #12 Cold shower. And cool down your libido, Casanova. You Make is sound so damn easy! I’m sorry I like Twilight so much that this kinda messes with me! askjzargo answered your question: Evening Storm’s Travels #12 tried teleporting out? midnightflourish answered your question: Evening Storm’s Travels #12 Teleportation? Telekinesis?! But then again, what kind of stallion doesn’t want to be smothered by two hot mares? Teleportation!? I set myself on fire when trying to cast a simple grooming spell! I don’t think Teleportation is a good idea. AT ALL. And Yes. I’m enjoying the closeness of these two mares an awful lot. But when they wake up… Besides… It’s not right. It’s not like they want to cuddle with me. They think I’m a book or a pillow… It’s just… Never mind, I just need a way out of this before they kill me upon waking… bronysnap answered your question: Evening Storm’s Travels #12 Ok, here is what you need to do. Get a conch shell horn and yell “NEWS TEAM! ASSEMBLE!” This should fix all your problems. …You’re high aren’t you? dark-shadowsky answered your question: Evening Storm’s Travels #12 Try moving again, and if they start to wake up just start singing Hush Now, Quiet Now… not the Sweetie Belle version. graybodash answered your question: Evening Storm’s Travels #12 Hmm, if they are TRULY in very deep sleeps, try talking to them in a very quiet voice and see if you can convince them to move. Hmm, these two seem to have the highest probability of success. I might be able to convince them to move if I whisper to them while they sleep. Maybe I can mess with their dreams or something. Make them not want to cuddle me… If they do begin to rouse, I might be able to sing Hush Now, Quiet Now… I’m afraid I lack Sweetie Belle’s or Fluttershy’s angelic voices though… Well anyway, here goes nothing… Hmm I’ll attempt to get Twilight to move first… Evening Storm: (w) “Twilight… Twilight it’s time to write a letter to Princess Celestia. You don’t want to be tardy in doing so do you?” Twilight Sparkle: (w) “Ennnn, no… Must… letter…” Success! She’s rolled away from me! I’m free from her! Now for Dust Storm! … Crap! What would get Dust Storm to move? Uh… Uh… Evening Storm: (w) “Uh… Dust Storm! For excellent service we wish to present you with an award. Please come to the throne room.” Dust Storm: (w) “Mmmm? Party?” Evening Storm: (w) “S-sure. For a party.” Dust Storm: (w) “Mmmm, ice cream?” Evening Storm: (w) “Y-yes! With ice cream. Better hurry before it melts!” Dust Storm: (w) “Mmmmmmmm Ice cream…” AHH! NO NO! I’M NOT ICE CREAM! EEE! D-D-D-DON’T LICK MY FACE! AH! NO! THIS IS BAD! Twilight Sparkle: (w) “Ice cream?” EEEEP! NO! NOT YOU TOO! MY NECK ISN’T ICE CREAM! AH! Oooo, ah, t-that’s… NO! FOCUS! OF ALL THE BAD THINGS TO HAPPEN THIS IS THE WORST POSSIBLE THING! Need a way out! Need a way out! CRAP! I set a pillow on fire! Good thing- Ah! That tickles! The pillow wasn’t near us- ACK! S-STOP LICK- Wait! A fire! That’s it! Inhale and… Evening Storm: “AHHHHHHHHHHH FIRE! FIRE IN THE LIBRARY!” Twilight Sparkle: “W-what?! Fire? AHHH A FIRE! PUT IT OUT!” Dust Storm: “Dang it Evening Storm! This is your fault isn’t it!? Where are you!?” Evening Storm: “BACK UP!” Twilight Sparkle: “You levitated the dish water out of the sink to the fire? Good thinking!” Evening Storm: “T-thanks, though I’m the idiot who couldn’t control his magic that started the stupid thing..” Dust Storm: “Ha! I knew it! This is why I was always watching you at the caste!” Twilight Sparkle: “Now stop that! It’s natural for any unicorn still learning magic to slip up on their control from time to time. Though I do have to admit. It usually only happens during times of stress. Did you have a Nightmare or something?” Evening Storm: “N-No, n-nothing like that.” Dust Storm: “Then just what-“ Twilight Sparkle: “I said enough Dust Storm! The fire is out and we’re all okay! That’s all that matters!” Spike: “What’s going on down here? Whoa! What happened to that pillow?” Dust Storm: “Ask Pryohoof over there.” Evening Storm: “L-look I’m sorry okay? I screwed up. I’ll try to be more careful…” Spike: “Ah don’t fret it dude. I’ve accidently set my bed on fire a couple of times. It’s the dragon flames you know. I’m getting pretty good at making them!” Twilight Sparkle: “Spike! Don’t brag about setting fires!” Dust Storm: “Uh… Hey there Stormy. I know I was just giving you crap but are you okay? You look sorta flustered for some reason… Y-You’re not sick are you?” Evening Storm: “N-no, I-I’m just feeling a little… Hot… Probably because of the magic discharge or something…” Thank goodness! Seems they didn’t notice where they were upon waking! Twilight Sparkle: “Hmm, that is possible. Are you sure you weren’t having a bad dream? Sometimes that can affect things.” Evening Storm: “No! I sleeped good! You sleep good?” S-stop making me remember what just happened! Twilight Sparkle: “Oh yes I slept very well thank you. I was having the most wonderful dream too…” Dust Storm: “You too? Maybe your good fortune rubbed off on me. I’ve been having irritating dreams recently thanks to a certain Unicorn. (Sigh, she’s glaring at me) But I do admit… Last night was fairly peaceful. I wish I could remember what I was dreaming about. I think it must have been rather nice for a change…” Twilight Sparkle: “I’d like to recall mine as well. I really should see about finding a spell to remember one’s dreams. I’d like to see about replicating this one.” Evening Storm: “SO ANYWAY! I’M GLAD EVERYTHING IS OKAY! I’M STILL FEELING ALL SWEATY SO I THINK I’LL GO TAKE A SHOWER. A COLD ONE! YOU KNOW TO COOL OFF THE HOTNESS!” Twilight Sparkle: “Um… Okay. The shower is that way…” Evening Storm: “THANK YOU!” Dust Storm: “… You think he’s really sick? Ugh, I hope I wasn’t yelling at a sick pony. Even he doesn’t deserve to be yelled at while sick…” Spike: “Really? I’m surprised you say that. Seems like you hate the guy.” Dust Storm: “So? Doesn’t mean I want him to die or anything. I still might need him to fix me!” Spike: “Why is your face red?” Dust Storm: “SHUT UP!” Evening Storm Travels Question Time! Staring Pinkie Pie! Hello Everypony! Pinkie Pie here! How is everyone who’s following Stormy’s blog doing? I have to say that I’m SUPER DUPER EXCITED to be throwing that party this afternoon! I bet EVERYPONY will be there! Oh! But I told Twilight I’d keep it to a small party… Oh well, who doesn’t love to party? It’d be irresponsible for me not to invite everypony in town! Anyway that aside, don’t you think that ol Stormy is too shy? I mean I know he use to be a human and all, but HELLO you’re a pony now silly nilly! Oh, you probably want to know how I know what he use to be. Well you see, I’ve known about humans for a while. I know all sorts of neat little things. Oh! Oh! Like did you know that chocolate goes really well with fortune cookies? I bet you didn’t! ANYWAY, I think he needs to loosen up. There are all these pretty mares around him, and he doesn’t try to make friends! Or more! Even -I- know what stallions like, and I think he should look into it! There are so many ponies he’d look good with! I know he likes Trixie and all, but she’s so hard to find, and I don’t think they’d go well together at all! Besides isn’t there a yellow colt with red hair that likes her more or something? Oh I’m getting off track. What I REALLY want to do is ask you all a question! Or maybe two. OR THREE! One! Don’t you think he needs to lighten up? I know he’s got all these problems, but he needs to enjoy himself more! That’s why I’m throwing a party later! Two! Don’t you think he should let me use this cool lapytop more often? I think my story about him was really good! I bet Rarity would have liked it. She’s always reading that sorta stuff. Oh, Fluttershy doesn’t actually. I know you’re disappointed, but she doesn’t. While I’m at it, I don’t do THAT sorta thing with cupcakes! SHAME ON YOU ALL! Anyway, do you think Stormy should try for a mare? Which one do you think he’d go good with? I think he’s been alone long enough don’t you? OOPS! He’s getting out of that shower. That means he’ll be coming for this. Twilight said to have it ready when she went over the test results. Oh, by the way. Don’t tell Evening Storm this, but I took a picture of them when Dusty and Twi were both cuddling with him as they slept. It’s SOOOOOOO super cute! I’ll have to see about posting it sometime when Stormy isn’t looking! Gotta go now! Feel free to answer my questions! Oh and don’t let him know about this post okay? Note from Evening Storm: Does it seem like here is an extra bit of text between Journal Entries here? When uploading my logs to this site, I swear some extra data came with it, but every time I try to check it seems to glitch out... How odd... It seems to happen near the end of these posts as well... Maybe it's a virus? I hope not... Anyway: Evening Storm’s Travels #13 Twilight Sparkle: “…when it’s on okay?” Evening Storm: “Okay it seems to be recording our conversation. Well in text format anyway. You sure you want it on for this?" Twilight Sparkle: “Yes I want some sort of record of this, and I believe this will be an easier way to document it, rather then have poor Spike attempt to write it all down.” Dust Storm: “Makes sense. So what are the test results?” Twilight Sparkle: “Well Dust Storm. Please excuse my ah… ‘Excitement’ on the subject, by I can’t get over how amazing of a job the spell has done on you! You are certainly a mare in every way that counts! If the Princess herself hadn’t told me that you had been magically changed, I’d never have thought it! You’re genetic make up is so perfectly a mare, that you could even have a foal if you wanted!” Dust Storm: “A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-WHAT!?” Twilight Sparkle: “Oh dear I think I went a bit too far there. Now please calm down Miss Dust Storm…” Dust Storm: “M-Miss Dust Storm… I’m… I’m really a mare… I-I-I c-c-could have foals…” Evening Storm: *Sigh* “Good one Twilight…” Twilight Sparkle: “Sorry!” Dust Storm: “STORMY! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT! FIX ME! FIX ME! FIX ME!” Evening Storm: “GACK! ACG! MUG! TLACK!” Twilight Sparkle: “Dust Storm! Stop chocking him! He can’t fix you if he’s dead! Spike! Help me get her off him!” Evening Storm: : “I WILL! I PROMISE!” (N-no response… She’s not even looking at me anymore…) Evening Storm: “That being said, let’s skip to the important stuff. HOW do I fix her?” Twilight Sparkle: “Well… That’s the main issue here. I can’t even tell that Dust Storm was magicked in the first place. Therefore I have no idea how you’d change her back. For all I know another ‘blooming’ spell could do it!” Evening Storm: “Well should I try that?” Twilight Sparkle: “Not yet. I said it ‘could’ do it. It could also change her in a different way entirely. Possibly even into a different type of pony! While the magic behind this is fascinating, it’s also pretty frightening. How is it that you haven’t been in magic training classes before?” Evening Storm: “It’s a long story.” Twilight Sparkle: “Well I’ll have to hear it sometime. It brings us to the test results I got from YOU. You are an even bigger mystery then Dust Storm here. I can tell you are a unicorn stallion just fine, and that you have some pretty incredible magic in you. But… There are all these oddities. There seems to be some other type of energy in you. There are so many little things that came up that are just so… Vague… It’s rather perplexing. Just what are you?” Evening Storm: “To be honest I don’t know myself…” Twilight Sparkle: “What do you mean?” Evening Storm: “Look, I’m sorry but I can’t remember too much of before my time in Canterlot. What I do recall I can’t share right now. I know this isn’t what you want to hear, but I just can’t. I do know it has nothing to do with how my spell effected Dust Storm. So right now I’d like to concentrate on fixing her.” Dust Storm: “So… Does this mean I’m going to be stuck as a mare for a while longer?” Twilight Sparkle: “I’m sorry… At the moment I have to say yes, but I’ll do everything in my power to make sure it’s as short a while as I can make it!” Dust Storm: “…Thank you Twilight Sparkle. I’m… I’m going to retire to my temporary room for the moment. Please fetch me when Pinkie is ready to throw her… Party…” Twilight Sparkle: “Alright I will. Please don’t worry, we’ll figure this out. I am the Princess’ Number one student after all!” Dust Storm: “Yeah… Thank you.” Evening Storm: “….Damn it…” Twilight Sparkle: “You can’t blame yourself. You had no way of knowing.” Evening Storm: “Twilight, I’ve destroyed her life. HIS life. To be honest I don’t know why I’m here. What I’m suppose to be doing, but so far it looks like I’m just meant to cause problems…” Twilight Sparkle: “You know I heard about how you saved the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Do you think that was causing a problem?” Evening Storm: “Well no-“ Twilight Sparkle: “Then don’t worry about it. You’re magic is just a bit untamed that’s all. With me to help you focus I’m sure we’ll have Dust Storm back to normal in no time.” Evening Storm: “I hope you’re right Twilight. I really do…” Twilight Sparkle: “How about we take a break? I can talk to you about some of the oddities in your test results later.” Evening Storm: “Thanks… That sounds good.” Twilight Sparkle: “No problem. Spike? Let’s get some snacks.” Spike: “Alright! Can we get some rubies?” Twilight Sparkle: “Spike, you’re the only one who can EAT rubies!” Spike: “So?” Evening Storm’s Travels #14 So… Hey everypony. It’s been a while since I’ve just talked to you all directly… As you can see, things are pretty hectic right now… I just spent the entire night in Twilight’s home… This… This should be a happy thing… Guys I’m worried. I honestly didn’t think Dust Storm would be stuck as she is. I really thought the Princess or something could change her back. Instead she’s been stuck like that for a while now… A few months or so… I… I can’t believe I did that to her… But that isn’t the worst part… Guys I… There is a part of me that doesn’t WANT her to change back. When a Stallion, he use to annoy me to no end. He’d CONSTANTLY pop up at the worst times to disrupt my attempts at controlling my magic. Even when I tried to do it as far away from the castle and town as possible. But as a mare… I remember admitting that I didn’t find Pegasus ponies all that attractive, but that was before the current Dust Storm popped back up in my life. I don’t know what it is exactly… Maybe it’s because she’s hurt? I know she puts up a tough front, but the fact she’s living a new life is hard on her. Maybe it’s because it reminds me of myself… Perhaps neither of us know why we are here right now. What we should do with these new lives that have befallen us. The problem is that while mine is most likely the result of… ‘That White Alicorn’ (That’s my theory anyway. Why else won’t she leave me alone? Well she has recently, but I’m not convinced she’s left…) Dust Storm’s predicament is MY fault. This is all so confusing. Made all the worst by the fact that Twilight is surely suspicious of me now. I mean I told her flat out that I don’t want to talk about my past. I’m not sure ponies in this world DO that. It’s true though, in a way. I really don’t remember much of my past. Not anymore. My old name… What was it? I think it began with a ‘J’… Twilight Sparkle: “Evening Storm! Are you out here?” Evening Storm: “Oh hey Twilight. Sorry just doing a journal update while out here on your balcony. I have to say though. The view this early in the morning… It’s wonderful..” Twilight Sparkle: “Oh I know. It’s even better in the late afternoon. Sometimes I like to curl up with a book here.” Evening Storm: “Must be nice. So what’s up? I’m sure you didn’t come find me to talk about books.” (Actually then again… It IS Twilight Sparkle…) Twilight Sparkle: “I know you’re probably tired and possibly many other emotions I can’t understand right now. I just want you to know that I understand if you don’t want to tell me everything.” Evening Storm: “Really?” Twilight Sparkle: “Oh don’t give me that look. I wasn’t the social butterfly myself before coming to Ponyville. Given some time here I’m sure you’ll open up.” Evening Storm: “Well Uh… I’m not really planning on staying here too long. I was on a journey after all…” Twilight Sparkle: “I see. Would you mind sticking around for a little while at least? Until we can find a plan for Dust Storm at least.” Evening Storm: “I can’t leave her like that, so of course. I have to do something. Though to be honest I have a feeling the answer is out there.” Twilight Sparkle: “You may be right, and I have my own thoughts about that, but we’ll get to those later. I have a test I’d like you to help me with.” Evening Storm: “That’s the REAL reason you found me isn’t it? For another test…” Twilight Sparkle: “Oh come on! It’ll be quick I promise! Oh how does Rarity do that thing? Please? PLEASE?!” (GAH! THE CUTENESS! DAMN YOU TWILIGHT!) Evening Storm: “First off you said that ‘Rarity’ part out loud. Second knock it off! I’ll do it already!” Twilight Sparkle: “Oh! Uh well, at any rate, the test is right down here…” I’m going to regret this aren’t I? I’ll talk to you all later… Evening Storm’s Travels #15 Pinkie: “HELLO EVERYPONY! How are you all doing!?” Evening Storm: “Pinkie get off my labtop…” Pinkie: “Now now, is that anyway to speak to your elders?” Evening Storm: “Colt or Stallion that’s still my labtop!” Dust Storm: “HaHaHaHaHa! I can’t stand it! You’re just so precious!” Twilight Sparkle: “I hate to admit it ‘little one’ but you do look awfully cute like that!” Evening Storm: “Stop it! I wouldn’t even BE like this if it wasn’t for your ‘test’ Twilight!” Twilight Sparkle: “Heh… Admittedly that didn’t go quite as I expected…” Evening Storm: “Ya think?” Pinkie: “Oh oh! But it was SOOOOOO much fun!” Evening Storm: “None of that was ‘fun’ this entire day has been hectic as all hay!” Spike: “How did you know that’d even WORK Stormy?” Evening Storm: “Is that my nick name now?” Dust Storm: “It sure is little Stormy! Little precious coltly wolty! BWhahahahaha” (She’s enjoying this WAY to much…) Evening Storm: “Big words for some pony who was all over me earlier.” Dust Storm: “T-that was… You know why that happened!” Evening Storm: “Heh heh heh SNORT! Ah dang it! I even laugh like a little colt!” Dust Storm: “Pffffffffffft! WA HA HA HA HA!” (Well she fell over) Pinkie: “So when are you going to update everypony on what happened today?” Evening Storm: “If it’s all the same I’d rather FORGET today if at all possible.” Twilight Sparkle: “Yes well, at the very least we should see about doing something for the rest of Ponyville. I think keeping this secret might be a good idea…” Pinkie: “Aw! But that’s boooooooring! You’ve got to tell everypony on your Tumblr Stormy! The story is loads of funny and sillyness!” Dust Storm: “Yeah, let them all know why you are the CUTEST thing alive right now! Ha ha ha!” (Bah, I’m trying to let Dust Storm have her fun since I’m feeling so guilty about making her a mare, but she’s really starting to push my buttons…) Pinkie: “Oh! OH! I’ve got a great idea! Let ME write it! Oh please!? I’ll do such a great job at it!” Evening Storm: “No way!” Pinkie: “But I already have it recording this conversation! You’ll have to tell them SOMETHING.” Evening Storm: “You what!? Gah! I’ll just do a post with bullet points or something!” Dust Storm/Spike/Twilight Sparkle: “What’s a bullet?” Evening Storm: “Never mind! The point is I don’t want to recall the day’s events!” Pinkie: “That’s why I’M going to write about them!” Evening Storm: “NO YOU AREN’T!” Dust Storm: “Aw, wooks wike widdle Evening Storm needs a nappy wappy!” Evening Storm: “…I really hate you right now.” Twilight Sparkle: “Now behave Dust Storm… *snirk* It’s not nice to tease the children!” Evening Storm: “TWILIGHT!” Twilight Sparkle: “Sorry! Sorry! I couldn’t resist!” Evening Storm: “PLEASE tell me I can go back to normal soon…” Spike: “Aw cheer up dude. I’m sure it won’t be that much longer. Twilight here probably has it just about ready. Right Twilight?” Twilight Sparkle: “Well not quite Spike. But I do think I know how to do it. I’ll just need a few things from my lab. Will you assist me Spike?” Spike: “Of course! I am your number one assistant!” Dust Storm: “Hey look on the bright side Stormy. If things don’t work out. Maybe someone will adopt you!” Evening Storm: “Very cute. Are you going to stop brushing my mane anytime soon?” Dust Storm: “Nope! You’re just too adorable!” Pinkie: “Come on Evening Storm! I’ll do a good job on writing stuff down! I Pinkie Promise I’ll only write what really happened!” Evening Storm: “Why would I want my embaressment documented!?” Pinkie: “Aw, the day wasn’t that bad.” Dust Storm: “Yeah loosen up Stormy! Don’t get your diaper all in a bunch! Ha ha ha!” (That’s it! Pinkie if you play along with what I’m about to do, you’ve got yourself a deal alright? Shout cupcake if you agree.) Pinkie: “CUPCAKE!” Dust Storm: “Uh… What now?” Evening Storm: “Uhhhhh I don’t feel so good…” Dust Storm: “Oh don’t try that, you aren’t getting away that easily.” Pinkie: “Oh no!” Dust Storm: “Wait what do you mean oh no?” Pinkie: “Poison Joke gets worse the longer you are affected by it! I think he’s been under it’s spell too long!” Evening Storm: (This is gonna be good.) “M-mommy?” Dust Storm: “Wait What? Who? D-d-did y-y-you just c-call me m-m-mommy?” Evening Storm: “It is you mommy! Hug!” Dust Storm: “AH! No wait! Stormy snap out of it! That’s the poison joke talking!” Evening Storm: “M-mommy why are you talking weird… What’s wrong?” Dust Storm: “Ah! No! Back up! I can’t be your mother! I’m a guy!” Pinkie: “Psst, you look like a mare to me Dusty!” Evening Storm: “Mommy! What’s wrong! Why won’t you hug me?” (Oh dear Celestia! The look on her face! XD) Dust Storm: “No! No! I can’t be a mom! No! Get away from me!” Evening Storm: “But Mommy I wuvs you!” Dust Storm: “NO! NO! AHHHHHHHHHHH!” Pinkie/Evening Storm: “PFFFFFFFFFFFFFT BWAHAHAHAHAHA!” Pinkie: “Did you see her run?! That was great!” Evening Storm: “Heh, I have to agree. Well I’m going to go help Twilight. I want to be grown up again before Dust Storm realizes that was a trick.” Pinkie: “Okie Doki Loki!” Evening Storm: “Now you PINKIE promise to only write what really happened right? No more ‘novels’…” Pinkie: “Yeah, Yeah! I Pinkie Promise!” Evening Storm: “I’m going to regret this I just know…” Pinkie: “Anyway pony folk and non-pony folk! You heard him! Stay tuned for Pinkie’s AMAZING story describing the day today! Till then, Choa!” * * * PSSST! Hey! Hey you people or ponies reading this story! Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie! I wanted to add the picture I took of Stormy while he was cuddled with Twilight and Dusty, but I don't think I can sneak a picture past Evening Storm. I managed to get my text posts through, as well as this little thing in here without him being able to see it. But a picture? No way! So instead I'm sneaking you the link to it! Click here to see the picture of Stormy cuddling with Twiligth and Dust Storm! Just don't tell Stormy about it! He might not let me take any pictures anymore! Travel Logs 16-17 + Dust Storm Diaries/ExtrasEvening Storm's Travels #16 Evening Storm: “Pinkie how are you typing the story while trotting? Aren’t you unable to see where you’re going?” Pinkie: “Silly Nilly, I’m Pinkie Pie!” Evening Storm: “You know, the fact that is a legit answer annoys me.” Dust Storm: “Well if it’s any consolation, everything about you annoys me.” Evening Storm: “Gee thanks…” Pinkie: “Oh be nice you two. You’re being recorded via text!” Evening Storm: “We are what now?” Dust Storm: “What, are you writing down what we are saying now as part of that story thing you are doing? How in the world did you ever get Stormy here to agree to that?” Evening Storm: “Silly Filly! She’s Pinkie Pie!” Dust Storm: “…I hate you so much right now” Pinkie: “Actually I’m doing a Journey update for you right now!” Evening Storm: “What!? Why?” Pinkie: “Why not?” Evening Storm: “All we are doing is going to the flower shop to pick up a few things for Twilight. Between fixing her ‘test’ spell, and then brewing up the Poison Joke cure for me, she hasn’t had time to do much else, and Spike has been too busy helping her. So here we are…. Yeah that update sucked. So again, why?” Pinkie: “Because!” Evening Storm: “Ugh, I give up.” Dust Storm: “Just do me a favor and never go into poison joke again.” Evening Storm: “You keep saying that. Did something HAPPEN while I was a colt?” Dust Storm: “N-nothing important! It was just weird at the end.” Evening Storm: “Hmmm? Weird how?” (Oh man the look on her face! XD I’m gonna milk this for all it’s worth! Even if the end result kills me!) Dust Storm: “Just drop it okay?” Pinkie: “Awwww, but I think you’d make a great one of those!” (Oh god Pinkie Winked at her. OH GOD THE BLUSH ON DUST STORM’S FACE!) Dust Storm: “SHUT UP!” Evening Storm: “Are you suuuuuuuuuure nothing-“ Dust Storm: “I SAID TO DROP IT!” Pinkie Pie: (Geh, can’t laugh… She’ll know what is up if I laugh…) Dust Storm: “Anyway we are here, let’s just get the stuff and go!” Evening Storm: “Alright if you say so…” (Since I know the laptop is picking up my thoughts, I’ll add this. This isn’t the first time I’ve seen Rose or Lily. You’ll find out why when Pinkie gets that story up. Oddly enough though I didn’t see Daisy. I remember back when I wasn’t ‘In Equestria’ that I really didn’t like Daisy’s colors. Though oddly enough, part of me really wants to meet her.) Rose: “So what can I get for you three?” Dust Storm: “Ah yes, we need these herbs and flowers. Do you have any?” (For those who can’t see, which is all of you, Dust Storm handed them the list Twilight gave us) Rose: “I do believe we have some of these. Please wait while I gather them for you!” Pinkie: “Thanks Rosey!” Lily: “So… Are you and the stallion over there dating?” Dust Storm: “W-w-what!? NO!” Evening Storm: “So this was just a game to you? You were just PLAYING with me?” Dust Storm: “WHAT!? WHAT ARE YOU SAYING!?” Lily: *Giggles* “You two are obviously very close!” (Oooh… That look on Dust Storm.She’s going to kill me later, but it’s worth it! … I do have to wonder now… Is that a red face of anger or is she blushing? That can’t be it right?) Daisy: “Hi girls! I’m back!” Lily: “Welcome back Daisy! Did you manage to find those flowers you were after?” Daisy: “Yeah it took me a while but… I…” (She’s… She’s staring at me like she’s seen a ghost… Why… Why am I so scared all of a sudden? Her… Her eyes… What…) Daisy: “It… It can’t be…” Evening Storm: “Um… Have we… met?” Daisy: “Don’t say that… Please… You have to be him! Oh please, you look just like him! You have his cutie mark!” Evening Storm: “What? Who? Who do you think-“ Daisy: “Brother don’t talk like that! Do you have any idea how long I’ve searched for you!? You HAVE to remember me!” (BROTHER!? I’m… That makes her… GAH MY HEAD!) Evening Storm: “Brother? Daisy I-“ Daisy: “It is you! You remembered my name! Oh Please remember the rest! Where have you been? Why did you leave?” Evening Storm: “I… I…” Daisy: “BROTHER!” Dust Storm: “STORMY!” Pinkie: “OH NO! Uh, sorry everypony, Evening Storm just fainted! We’ll update you on all this later!” Dust Storm's Diaries #1 Dust Storm: “Are you sure this is alright?” Pinkie Pie: “It’ll be fine. I doubt Stormy would care if you recorded your thoughts from time to time.” Dust Storm: “If you say so. So this thing will pick up our voices? Oh I see it’s doing that already.” Pinkie Pie: “Yeah, though it’s a bit harder to work without his magic connecting to it…” Dust Storm: “…How is he?” Pinkie Pie: “He… He still hasn’t woken up… Twilight doesn’t know what’s wrong.” Dust Storm: “I see…” Pinkie Pie: “Don’t worry! I’m sure he’ll be just fine! He’ll be awake before you know it!” Dust Storm: “I hope so.” Pinkie Pie: “Don’t worry. We won’t loose him. You won’t loose him. Twilight is certain of that!” Dust Storm: “What!? What do you mean by that! I- I just need him alive to change me… Back….” Pinkie Pie: “That’s not the truth.” Dust Storm: “Okay no, but I… I just can’t…” Pinkie Pie: “I understand. Anyway, give an update or something. I’m going to go talk to Twilight. We still need to figure out if what Daisy is saying is true or not.” Dust Storm: “Y-yeah… Okay…” Dust Storm: “So uh… H-Hey everypony. The former Stallion Dust Storm here. Still… Still suck as a mare…” Dust Storm: “I understand that old Stormy has been using this laptop to update a tumblr on the pony net. Seems a lot of ponies are doing that now a days. Even Captain Aquilinus has one!” Dust Storm: “I never really met the Captain much, but I did serve in his guard unit. Least till YOU KNOW WHO turned my life upside down!” Dust Storm: “I don’t know where he came from, but I remember first seeing him in the library reading up on spell books. He’d do it for hours on end. I’m not sure what bugged me about him at first. He just seemed… Different in an odd way…” Dust Storm: “Then… Then there was the spell casting. I don’t know WHY more ponies didn’t complain, but he was always botching those damn spells of his! I tried to bring it up to the Captain once, but he was too busy with other things. I didn’t think the muck ups of one little unicorn warranted his attention. So I sorta took the job of monitoring him myself.” Dust Storm: “What a trouble maker! The wagon, the random fires. Especially the fires. Every time it seemed he tried to do something that involved casting a spell on himself, he’d set himself on fire and run down the hall screaming bloody murder.” Dust Storm: “It… It was kinda funny after a while actually… Good thing he seems resistant to fire!” Dust Storm: “No matter how many times he failed… He kept trying. This was the main factor in my irritation. He’d cause so much trouble by trying to learn magic, and I’d have to clean up the mess! No matter how many times I tried to stop him, no matter how many times he set himself on fire. He’d always try again, and again, AND AGAIN!” Dust Storm: “Then… Then came the day he turned me into a mare… That was the final straw! I was laughed at by my fellow guards! I’m only glad that Captain Aquilinus didn’t seem to notice! I asked all sorts of ponies to help me out. Even that Paracelsus, and boy is he ever weird! But in the end not even the Princess could help me. That’s why she sent me to Twilight Sparkle, and well… I think you know how that’s gone.” Dust Storm: “Everything in my life has been thrown into chaos since I met that damn Evening Storm! So why….” Dust Storm: “Why can’t I hate him?” Dust Storm: “… I’m sorry… I- I don’t know what’s going on with me right now…” Dust Storm: “Sto- We don’t know when Evening Storm will wake up, so in the mean time I’ll answer any questions you might have. Since I’m stuck doing the updates for now, feel free to ask me anything. It’ll… It’ll give me something to do I suppose…” * * * PonyJames: Hey Dust Storm, can you tell us what Daisy said about Evening Storm? dark-shadowsky Dust Storm: “What do you mean? You all read it in the last update before Stormy… Dropped…” Dust Storm: “She called him her brother. Says there isn’t any mistaking it. She actually had a picture. Said it was taken just before they got their cutie marks.” Dust Storm: “The colt in that picture with the filly her… He looks EXACTLY like Stormy did when he was turned into a colt yesterday… Twilight says she’s going to find out for certain, but I don’t know what she has in mind…” Dust Storm: “We haven’t been able to get anything else out of Daisy since. She’s been too worried over her ‘brother’ “ * * * PonyJames: I see. I thought that she might have said more, but it seems to not be the case. Well, um... I not trying to get you angry or anything, but what would be the worse thing about being a mare for you? dark-shadowsky Dust Storm: “The unfamiliar body! You spend your entire life as a stallion then BOOM you’re a mare! How am I suppose to feel about this? I hate it!” Dust Storm: “I lost the respect of my fellow guards, laughed at by the canterlot staff, and I keep getting these weird ‘tingles’ whenever I’m around certain ponies. It’s especially noticeable when I’m by Evening Storm! The damn colt that started all this! The worst time was when I saw him get out of the shower yesterday! He was all soaked in water, his mane… And the way he… uh…” Dust Storm: “What?! How did this thing kn- I mean N-no they didn’t! The laptop is lying! LYING!” Dust Storm: “N-Next question!” * * * *Note from Dust Storm: I'm not sure what this next thing is everypony. Twilight and I found it saved in the Travel Logs when we transferred this over here. We'd ask Stormy if he minded, but he's still a bit shaken. In the end we decided it might be important... %*&(%&^%$&^$&^$&^$&^**(*()()(^%##@@ What?… What’s going on? Where am I? ????: So We meet again… Y-You! What do you want!? ????: We thought you might have questions… W-we? ????: Nevermind. Do you have an inquiry for me Dear Evening Storm? Did you bring me here? ????: That’s not what you really want to ask. What do you mean?! Of course it is! ????: Why ask? Don’t you know the answer? Y-you did! ????: Are you sure? I… I… ????: It bothers you doesn’t it? What that mare said. Does it… ‘Tickle’ your mind? It’s not true is it? ????: How would I know? You’re the White Alicorn!

And if you can't turn back for a long time, do you plan on going back to your job as a mare or getting a different job? rainev1 Dust Storm: “Actually there are several mares in the Royal Guard. So I suppose if I went back it wouldn’t be a problem for me to stay in the Royal Guard.” Dust Storm: “Though I’m sure if Captain Aquilinus saw me like this, he’d most certainly hit on me… That’s a rather scary thought…” Dust Storm: “As for the rest of your inquiry, I don’t want to think about being STUCK like this for a long time… I can’t remain a mare, that’s not what I’m suppose to be! I’m going to become a Stallion again!” Dust Storm: “I mean I really… Really don’t like… Being like this… I don’t…” * * * Hello Miss Dust Storm, I have a question for you. Would you care to share the story of how you got your cutie mark? runesigilsign Dust Storm: “Ah, that takes me back actually… I… I suppose it’ll be alright to share the story. J-Just don’t go spreading it around okay!?” Dust Storm: “It’s actually thanks to my mother that I found my special talent. It’s thanks to her that I joined the Royal Guard. She is a Lieutenant actually! Lieutenant Snow Fury, one of the quickest and more agile Pegasus Guards there is! I use to watch her all the time growing up. The moves she could pull off were amazing! I had wanted to be just like her when I flew!” Dust Storm: “Sadly I seemed to lack the agility she had. I could never pull off her stunts…” Dust Storm: “There was one that she did that I was always impressed by. She called it the Blizzard Twist. She’d spin her body like a drill in order to plow a path through the snow. Allowing the ground troops to advance more quickly. There were other uses for it that she’d utilize, but the point was that I found THAT move to be the coolest!” Dust Storm: “I tried to emulate it so many times, but I lacked the talent I suppose. Whatever my mom had that let her do that, I didn’t possess it. I did possess the speed though. I dare say I might be able to go faster then her.” Dust Storm: “Well as usual being a Colt raised by only their mother, uh… Yeah I sorta didn’t know my father… Anyway, being that as it was, some of the other colts would tease me from time to time. It was a particularly bad day of teasing when I learned my talent.” Dust Storm: “I had been trying to ignore them, but one of them decided it’d be funny to throw a rock at me. Hit me square in the head. That sucker HURT.” Dust Storm: “Now don’t get me wrong. My mom may have been in the Royal Guard, but she didn’t ENJOY violence. Something I inherited from her. However, I had enough of those troublemakers. I needed to do something.” Dust Storm: “From what I know of being told. I use to like to play in the dirt a lot when a foal. Was told I kicked up all sorts of Dust, kinda funny given my name. Anyway I don’t know WHY I thought about that just then, but I did. I took off away from them like a comet. At first they began to make fun of me for running, till I came back. I couldn’t do the drill spin my mom could do, but I could spin my entire body in a three Sixty spin. So I did, kicking up quite the ‘Dust Storm’ in the process.” Dust Storm: “Heh, I was through there so fast, and kicked up such a smoke screen they didn’t know what hit them. They ended up crashing into each other in an attempt to get me. I felt rather proud of myself to be honest. Course I felt even better when I saw this cutie mark here appear shortly afterward.” Dust Storm: “So there you have it. Sorry if it’s long winded. But it was great to remember. I actually still attempt some of my mother’s moves from time to time. Oh what was that one she would do just to show off? It was a sort of backflip, twist deal. She’d basically backflip and twist her body into a drill spin while she did it. I must have practiced it hundreds of times. Never did get it right.” Dust Storm: “How far did I get? Let’s see, position yourself like this… Hunch down like this… Then FLIP like this while twisting your body!” Dust Storm: “And I’d always land on my side instead of… My…Hooves… I landed on my hooves! I LANDED ON MY HOOVES! I DID IT! I DID THE MOVE! OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH!” Spike: “Dust Storm! Dust Storm! He woke up!” Dust Storm: “I- What… Who?” Spike: “Evening Storm! He’s awake!” Dust Storm: “Oh gosh! Uh, sorry everypony. I think I’d better go take his labtop to him. I have a feeling we’ll need it for the questions to come. Later!” Evening Storm's Travels #17 Evening Storm: “Where… What’s going on?” Daisy: “Brother? Brother are you okay!?” Dust Storm: “Back off! You’re the reason he fainted in the first place!” Daisy: “B-but…” Twilight Sparkle: “That’s enough! Everypony back! He shouldn’t be stressed at this point.” (I fainted? Yes… Yes I remember… Daisy… She said… Then I… Ugh… My head still hurts…) Evening Storm: “What… What happened to me?” Twilight Sparkle: “We don’t know, you just passed out after Daisy claimed you were her brother.” Daisy: “But he IS” Twilight Sparkle: “I know! I saw the picture too! But we can’t just jump to those conclusions!” Evening Storm: “Picture?” Dust Storm: “Yeah… She… She has a picture of you when you were little. The two of you together playing by a pool. The colt… Well he looks just like you. Minus the cutie mark.” Evening Storm: “What? Really?” Twilight Sparkle: “I’m running some tests on the photo now. I’ll be able to tell if it’s be doctored at all.” Daisy: “I wouldn’t do that! I’m telling the truth!” Dust Storm: “We can’t just take YOUR word for it!” Daisy: “What’s it to you? What relationship are YOU to MY brother?!” Dust Storm: “Re-relationship?! I-I” Twilight Sparkle: “Enough! No arguing in the hospital!” Daisy and Dust Storm: “Sorry…” (Why… Why do I feel so weird? So… Nostalgic? I know who Daisy is of course, but her brother? I’m a human aren’t I? There is no way I’m her brother!) Evening Storm: “Daisy…” Daisy: “Yes Brother?” Evening Storm: “That’s just it Daisy. I can’t be your brother.” Daisy: “Stop saying that! You knew my name remember?” Evening Storm: “Daisy, Lily called you BY name when you entered the shop!” Daisy: “O-okay but still you are him! I know it!” Evening Storm: “But that CAN’T be right. I’m certain of one thing in my past, and from where I came, I had no sister!” Daisy: “… You really don’t remember do you?” Evening Storm: “I’m sorry… But it’s because there is nothing to remember…” Daisy: “No… Please don’t tell me that… I’ve searched for so many years. Ever since that day you vanished. Mom and Dad are gone… My brother… You were the last hope I had for family. I didn’t want to believe you were dead as well… When there was no body…” Dust Storm: “Maybe we should go…” Twilight Sparkle: “Good idea. We’ll… We’ll let you two sort this out. I’ll go check on the photo…” Evening Storm: “R-right…” Daisy: “I don’t care what you say. You ARE my brother. You’re name alone proves that!” Evening Storm: “My name?” Daisy: “I’m not stupid you know. I checked with your friends on your name. Evening Storm. That IS my brother’s name. You have that name. You look just like him. You ARE him brother!” Evening Storm: “Daisy stop! I told you I can’t be him!” Daisy: “And why not?” Evening Storm: “Because I”m not FROM here! I can’t explain it, but I just know!” Daisy: “I know you aren’t from here! We BOTH came from Trottingham years ago!” Evening Storm: “That’s not what I meant!” Daisy: “Then what DO you mean?” Evening Storm: “It’s like I’m from another world okay? I can’t explain it better then that!” Daisy: “You expect me to accept that? Why don’t YOU just accept you’re my brother!?” Evening Storm: “ARRRG! You just won’t give up will you!?” Daisy: “On my only brother!? Of course not!” Evening Storm: “You are so stubborn Daisy! This is exactly why you kept getting in trouble with bullies when younger! You’d never just leave them be!” Daisy: “Well what was I suppose to do? Let them push me around? Besides, you were always there to get my back!” Evening Storm: “Yeah till I apparently dissa… peared… Wait a minute…” Daisy: “I see you finally remembered something brother… Arguing with you till I’m nearly out of breath always was the only way to get through that thick skull of yours.” (She’s… She’s smiling… That look… So nostalgic… But… But this feeling… That memory… I’m… Human aren’t I? I WAS A HUMAN RIGHT!?) Evening Storm: “What… I… Sister? I… I remember having… A sister?” Daisy: “Oh thank Celestia… Oh brother I’m so glad you remember me… I… I…” Evening Storm: “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAG!” Daisy: “BROTHER!” Evening Storm: “S-sorry, just a random headache… Can… Can I have a moment alone?” Daisy: “But-“ Evening Storm: “I’ll be fine. I won’t try to run or anything. I… I just need some time to think… Okay?” Daisy: “You… You sure? I just got you back. I can’t stand it… I couldn’t…” Evening Storm: “I promise. I have a duty here I can’t run away from. But I just can’t take this all in right now. Please… Sister…” Daisy: “Okay… But if you need anything, or I hear ANYTHING that causes concern I’m rushing back in here. I will NOT loose you again!” Evening Storm: “Don’t worry…” Daisy: “Don’t… Try not to take too long okay? I want to catch up… It’s… It’s been far to long…” (… I just nodded. I didn’t know what else to do… What’s going on? I… I really remember being a colt… I remember a small pink filly following me around… But… I’m from the human world. I was a HUMAN. How can I have memories of being a colt? … What’s happening to me?) Travel Log 18 + Special NoteEvening Storm’s Travels #18 Hey guys… Evening Storm here… I’ve been going over my past logs. I’m glad they are still there. I was beginning to think maybe they’d have changed… Then again I’m not sure if I’d know they have changed… I… S-Shut up you stupid computer. Gah, it even typed out my mind stutter. This thing scares me sometimes. I’m sorry for that folks. I can barely keep my mind together right now. The images I’m seeing… Did you know my mother was a beautiful white pony? She was a lovely Pegasus with green hair. I think that’s where Daisy got her mane. Dad was a strong earth pony. He was a brilliant sapphire blue with a black mane. The exact opposite colors I have. How weird… I remember when my little Sister was born. Daisy was so cute as a foal. We all found it odd she was pink. But hey it happens sometimes. It was no more surprising then me being a unicorn after all… …Are you all asking me what I’m talking about? Because -I- am. I-I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I don’t know what is real anymore. I… Remember riding a bike. I remember playing Nintendo at a friends house. I can almost picture them so clearly. Yet, Yet I can also remember lifting my very first object with my magic. I remember Daisy getting lost in the hedge maze at Canterlot when just a wee filly. I spent hours searching for her. She was so happy to see me when I finally found her, that she wouldn’t let go of me for the rest of the night… Everything is blurring together. I feel like I’m loosing my mind. To be honest I was reading my past posts to keep myself occupied. I’m only writing this blog post to distract me from what is happening. What is happening… I don’t even know what that is. What IS happening!? Am I a human or a pony? I… I’m afraid guys. I want to remember who I am, but I know. I know what I want to be. I want to be what I am right now. A unicorn pony. I… I want Daisy to be my sister. But do I have the right? Do I have a choice? Is this the reality and my thoughts of my human life just a fantasy? I keep shivering. These thoughts… Am I loosing something important? Something precious? Daisy… A sister, My family. I don’t. I. I don’t want to be alone. No. I can’t sleep… I’m afraid… I’m afraid that when I wake up… I won’t be me anymore… Author's Note And well... That's it. This final log has been posted to the tumblr long ago, but I never got around to putting it here because I figured I'd write more, except I never did. I do apologize to those who liked this story, but these little snip its were me writing random stuff on my tumblr blog in an attempt to make a story. The problem? I lost interest. There was never any real planning for this, only vague ideas. A way for me to just write whatever as the mood struck me. Once I got to this point I decided I felt I wanted to re-invent Evening Storm's history and well, that's what I did. Will there ever be a story about his new history? I honestly don't know. I don't even really have an idea for why the White Alicorn would be around anymore. I just don't have any desire to continue this, and again I apologize to those who were looking forward to it's conclusion, but well. This is it folks. Sorry. :/ If you have any questions about the story or what 'may have been' feel free to ask in the comments. I'd be more then willing to answer them.
Travel Logs 1-5Evening Storm's Travels #1 Hello there tumblr fans! Evening Storm here, out on the road! I had meant to make a post about my departure, but well forgot. So I’ll give you a quick recap of what is going on: I sorta... Did something bad to a guard lately and don't know what to do about it. Nor am I achieving anything by hanging around the castle. I was chatting with Tiger Lily when she suggested that I should go out and ‘see the world’ a bit. It hit me that I’m IN Equestria, and I’ve spent all my time at Canterlot… Getting out and seeing what this world really has to offer is a GREAT idea. So here I am. A few days later, and I’m all packed and out on the road. First destination? PONYVILLE! I mean really, where else can I begin? Not sure where I’m heading after that. But it’ll certainly be another of the towns. Think I’m going to avoid the dangerous areas like Everfree for a while longer. At least until I can perfect a few of these defensive and offensive spells I’ve been working on. Also before you all ask, I HAVEN’T been setting myself on fire when attempting to learn these spells! … at least not that often… ANYWAY. I’ve been traveling about a day now and it’s gonna get dark soon. You might think Canterlot isn’t that far from Ponyville being you can see it from the town, but you’d be surprised how long this takes! Without a flying carriage, it’s a pretty good trek. Well I’m just stopping for dinner before hitting the ‘hay’ so to speak. By the way, you have NO idea how weird it is that I can technically ‘eat’ my bed if I so desire. I’ve woken up a few times at night realizing I’m chewing on my mattress. I’ve got to find something else to sleep on. Well, before I go, I suppose you’d like to know how this laptop is working when I’m not around any ponynet hookups. Well you can thank Paracelsus for that. He’s this earth pony Tiger Lily introduced me to. He’s basically a mad scientist, though don’t tell him I said that. (Oh god I hope he doesn’t read this) He basically made it so it works and connects anywhere I am. Sorta like satalight back in the human world, but I think this works on magic waves or something. Works really well! All I have to do is connect my own magic to it, and it pretty much types my thoughts down! It’s really- Wait… Did that Rabbit just steal my food? IT DID! GET BACK HERE YOU LITTLE- * * * Evening Storm's Travels #2 Let me start off by saying that bunnies are EVIL! Oh SURE you wouldn’t think so, being how cute they look. But believe me, they are little MONSTERS! That bunny that stole my dinner? Yeah, he was just a distraction! While I was chasing him, some of his friends came in and RAIDED my food bag! I’m lucky to have ANY food left! The damn brats! I swear if I ever see those things again… Well… Assuming Fluttershy isn’t around when I do… Anyway, it’s a good thing I was going to Ponyville anyway. This means I can restock. I sorta helped out with the libaray and stuff back at Canterlot, and along with some funds from both Paracelsus and Tiger Lily. I have MORE then enough bits to get me through this Journey. Er… Keep that on the downlow. I’m not sure if there are Pony bandits yet… Anyway, I’m just giving a quick update to say that I can SEE Ponyville from where I’m standing! It’s… An amazing sight really. To be able to see it in such a way… I think I can ‘just’ make out Twilight’s Tree… What? Um… Okay Everyone? My path to Ponyville basically took me around this Mountain Path. (Don’t say it!) And well… To my left a few yards away is this cave… Where voices are echoing out of. I’m hearing many words of ‘Being Lost’ and “So much for Cutie Mark Cave Explorers”… I can only GUESS what that means, and well… I think I’d better go help them. I’ll catch you all later. * * * Evening Storm's Travels #3 Well… That was… Uh… So I’m sure you are all wondering what happened when I left you last time. Sure enough, located rather deep in the cave. (I’m honestly surprised I heard their voices!) I found three little fillies. An Earth pony, a Unicorn pony, and a Pegasus pony. All covered in tree sap. (HOW tree sap? HOW in a cave? HOW HOW HOW!?) So yeah… I’ve now met Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo… After leading them back out of the cave. (I used my horn to leave trail markings on the walls. Something they didn’t think to do apparently) I shared with them what little food I had left as I’m sure they were probably in there for hours. They were very happy to be free of the cave, and happy to be fed. They asked me so many questions, over half I was never even given the chance to answer! Obviously one question that came up was what my cutie mark meant, and why I had it. I explained to them the best I could understand it. Though they wanted to see my cast a spell anyway. I thought I’d turn water into snow. Not too much harm in that, and it should be pretty easy right? Well I got the part of making the water ‘white’. But everything else went HORRIBLY wrong! It instead turned into mayonnaise and then exploded, covering us in the stuff. (PS: You have ANY idea how hard it was to make up a lie about why I was laughing so hard when Applebloom decided to comment DIRECTLY AFTER THAT “Well we certainly aren’t getting a cutie mark for making mayonnaise sandwhiches…” ) Anyway, after a quick bath. (No I didn’t bath WITH them you sickos) They INSISTED that they introduce me to their sisters and friends. Part of me is rather excited about this prospect. While a larger part of me has a feeling I just got myself into something very dangerous… There’s the entrance to Ponyville Now. Guess I’ll update you to my ‘meetings’ with each pony as they happen… * * * Evening Storm's Travels #4 Hello everypony! I’m here in the Carousel Boutique! This place looks a LOT different when you are actually inside it, compared to seeing videos or pictures of it. Anyway, I’m just here messing with this laptop Paracelsus gave me. This SyncroMagic technology he put in it is amazing! You already know I just have to connect my magic to it to type. But I’m suppose to be able to do more as my magic integrates more with the system. I recently found I can turn something called the ‘Voice Processor’ on. But it doesn’t seem to do anything. I mean it will type what I say in quotation marks, but it’ll do that anyway if I think it to happen. He said there is a webcam on this thing, but I’ll be darned if I can get the bloody thing to work. Oh, you are probably wondering what happened with the CMC. Well they are in the back, which is where Rarity went. We stopped by here first as I wanted to commission her for my own personal saddle bags. (Yes I could have done that at Canterlot, but like YOU wouldn’t go to Rarity if you could!) She was so thankful that I had helped Sweetie Belle and her friends, that she offered to do the job for me for free! I should have them sometime tomorrow! Course it means I’ll have to crash somewhere in town for the night, but spending a day or two in Ponyville doesn’t sound like that bad a deal to me. … I almost wonder if I should tell you guys about this but well… I’ve discovered another one of those ‘weird’ things about being a pony now… Rarity… Well uh… You know how she’s pretty and all? That… That kinda becomes REALLY obvious when you see her. I mean, it’s one thing to see a picture but uh… Well… I mean I saw her bending down and stuff as she was looking for supplies earlier and well… I uh… Oh geez… “Wow, I’m glad I’m not a pegasus right now, other wise I’d have something really awkward to explain. I wonder if I should type that?” Rarity: “What should you type deary? Evening Storm: “Oh uh! Nothing. Just updating a journey journal- Wait what the. Is it picking up our voices and posting our conversation? I didn’t know it could do that!” Rarity: “My My My, that’s certainly some computer if it can do THAT! So what sort of things were you typing? Oh! Were you giving your thoughts on any of my ensembles? Oh! Let me see!” Evening Storm: “Oh uh, no, it’s just boring journey stuff, you wouldn’t want to see it- (It picked up my wingboner comment! I can’t let her see that- AH IT’S PICKING UP THIS!) Rarity: “Oh but if you’ve been writing reviews of my work, you MUST let me see it! You must! You must! You must!” Evening Storm: “I! It’s… Uh! Uh!… OH MY! LOOK AT THAT SCARF OVER THERE! DID YOU MAKE IT!? Rarity: “What scarf? Oh you mean this? Why yes! In fact my sister Sweetie Belle helped me make it! Didn’t she do a great job?” Evening Storm: “Oh yes! It’s certainly one of the best scarfs I’ve ever seen! Okay! Stop! Stop this post computer! It’s finished! Wait doesn’t that make it post- WAIT DON’T POST TH- * * * Evening Storm's Travels #5 This thing on? Hello? Hello?… Why am I thinking for it to type hello as if I was testing it for sound? Okay it’s on. Hello everyone. I uh… Apologize for my last post. Didn’t mean to uh… Post it like that. I’d have deleted it, but I figure most of you have seen it already, and well this stupid thing won’t let me even edit that post. It’s almost like it’s against me. >_> The rest of my stay there was… Interesting. (No nothing happened that isn’t NSFW. Do ponies use that term?) *Sigh* I did however end up with that scarf… You see Sweetie Belle came out from the back while I was praising it, in order to distract Rarity from the blog post. (It didn’t work, but by that time the laptop had shut down, and I lied and said the post must have been lost when it did that) Well Sweetie Belle asked me if I, and I quote: ‘Truly REALLY liked it’ and well… YOU tell her ‘No’ when she’s looking at you with eyes that big. >_< She was so happy to hear that I liked it so much, that she asked Rarity if she could give it to me as a present for helping her out. Of course Rarity didn’t mind. She was just pleased that someone praised her sister’s work. So now I have a scarf… Now I know what you are all thinking. Something is wrong with it right? Well no. It’s actually very well stitched, and I have a feeling it’s because Rarity overlooked the entire project. So no, nothing is wrong with it: ‘In it’s construction’ See the issue I have is… It’s BRIGHT pink… With little red valentine hearts stitched down the middle… What am I suppose to DO with this!? No way am I throwing it away. I’ve seen enough television back on earth to know that Sweetie Belle would find out SOMEHOW. But forgive me if I don’t really want to WEAR it either… Rarity DID of course know it wasn’t exactly ‘fitting’ for me to wear, but she reasoned that I could give it to my ‘special somepony’ as a gift. … Thanks Rarity. I’m SURE THAT’LL happen. >_< Anyway, the next stop is Apple Acres Farm. I need some new supplies after being VICIOUSLY ATTACKED BY RABBITS (Note: These underlined words should actually have a 'strike trough' effect on them, but this site doesn't seem to have that while tumblr does.) Robbed by little bunnies. I’ll just have to remember not to have any er… ‘embarrassing thoughts’ while visiting. Or at least be more careful with when I update this thing.
Travel Logs 6-10 + BonusEvening Storm's Travels #6 Well I have to say, my visit to Apple Acres Farm so far hasn’t been so… Problematic as my visit to the Carousel Boutique… For one, I’m watching where AppleJack headed off to, so I’ll hopefully not be surprised when she comes back, and be forced to close this laptop before she see’s what I’m doing typing. I’m also taking care not to think anything uh… Inappropriate while typing out this blog. (Even if I find AppleJack rather- AH! No! Damn this stupid Syncromagic system! Stop typing everything I think!) Anyway, things are going rather well. For helping out Apple Bloom, I’m getting a rather nice discount on all the supplies I’m buying. You know, just to go on a side note. It’s kinda funny how much I find myself liking apples now. I mean I liked them before I came to Equestria sure, but well… I dunno. They just seem to… Taste better? It’s hard to explain. Being a pony, I’ve found a lot of things I didn’t like before, I love now. Like tomatoes. I couldn’t stand them in my old body, but somehow this body finds them rather nice. Do new bodies come with new taste buds? I STILL hate cauliflower though. Go figure… Anyway I’m off topic. The farm. I’m sure you probably guessed this but this place is HUGE. I mean seriously, it’s nothing but apple trees EVERYWHERE. Can you just imagine when AppleJack tried to buck all these herself?! It’s INSANE. She’s certainly a strong pony alright. Pretty sleek looking too. That mane and tail of hers suit her perfectly. I rather like the hat too. … She still not around? Big Mac not around? Screw it. She’s hot. There I said it. I can’t help it! Do you have ANY idea how weird it is for me to realize that!? She’s a pony, and I can’t help but gaze at her lovely form. I think the shape of the body is a huge factor in attractiveness when it comes to being a pony. I’m not sure. This is all rather new to me, and I’m still weirded out by the realization that I er… Want to ‘hit the hay’ with AppleJack so to speak. Apple Bloom: “Whats ‘hitting the hay’ mean?” Evening Storm: “GAH! Apple Bloom! Where did you come from!?” Apple Bloom: “Over there. Didna yall see me?” Evening Storm: “No! I was busy typing! How much did you see!?” Apple Bloom: “Just that part bout hitting hay. That a game or something?” Evening Storm: “Why yes! Yes it IS a game! It’s where you bundle up some hay. Tie a rope around it, and then buck it to see how far you can get it. I use to play it when about your age all the time!” Apple Bloom: “Wow, that sounds pretty fun! What say we have a round while yer waiting?” Evening Storm: “Oh I don’t know about that. What if we aren’t suppose to move this hay?” AppleJack: “Why would you be moving my hay?” Apple Bloom: “For a game! It’s called ‘Hitting the hay’. Old Stormy here-“ Evening Storm: “Stormy?” Apple Bloom: “-was telling me all about it! You bundle up hay and hog tie it so it’s all together like. Then ya buck it to see how far you can get it. Says he wanted to play the game with you big sis!” Applejack: “Oh really now? Sounds a mighty bit odd. Doesn’t ‘hit the hay’ mean sleeping anyhow?” (DOH! It does mean that!) Evening Storm: “Oh yeah, forgot about that. I’m so used to calling the game that. I use to be the champion of it where I was growing up. Been years since I played it though. (This is going to end badly isn’t it? Just please don’t think I meant something else!) Big Macintosh: “Sounds like a mighty… FINE game to me. Eeeyep…” (Oh god he’s glaring at me!) Evening Storm: “Look, forget I mentioned it. It’s just with all the apple bucking you must do around here, I thought it’d be pretty neat to try my luck, but obviously you’re all too busy-“ Apple Jack: “Well shoot! Ain’t too busy for some friendly competition! Let’s set up the playing field! Come with me Mr. Evening Storm. We’ll set everything up proper and let the best pony win!” Rainbow Dash: “Did somepony say competition?! I’m in!” Scootaloo: “Rainbow Dash!” (Ugh. Lap top. Shut down. I’m going to blow one of your circuits at this rate of vocal exchanges…) Evening Storm's Travels #7 Hey there everypony. Man am I beat! … Do ponies use the term ‘man’? Ugh, why do I ask weird questions when tired? Anyway, I’ve got a few food supplies. Obviously I don’t want JUST apple products as my food source, so I’ll be stopping at a few other places. Think I might give Carrot Top’s place a try. I like Carrots. Not sure where else to go however. Where would you get food supplies? Oh and before you ask, the corn wasn’t ready for eating yet. So I couldn’t get any of that. Of did you forget Applejack also grows that? … Okay I’ve avoided it long enough. You want to know how the game went right? Do I ‘really’ have to spell out who won? Applejack creamed me. Though I did much better then I expected. Applejack even commented on how it was clear I hadn’t played since a colt, but still had some of the strength left. I think it’s because I use to bike a lot in the human realm, and now I walk around a lot. Or would that be ‘trot’ around a lot? Do ponies walk? Whatever. Too tired. …Am I forgetting something? … Oh yeah! Rainbow Dash! I didn’t get to talk to her much actually. She lost interest in the compitition when she found it involved bucking hay. Guess her Fall Weather Friends thing taught her not to challenge Applejack to a ‘bucking’ contest. I’d say it’s out of character for her to back down, but then again, Scootaloo wouldn’t leave her alone either… I kinda cut my visit of the farm short. I’m sad I didn’t get to meet Caramel. He’s actually one of my favorite stallions from the show, but the looks Big Mac were giving me… Okay, you know how the big brother sometimes won’t like the guys giving their ‘little sister’ attention? That happens here too. He did NOT like me hanging around her. I think he realized I find her rather attractive… I blame the cowmare hat. It just gives her this untamed sexyness. Ironically though, despite that image I figure she’ll make a great mother. Assuming anypony can get past her hulk brother. No way I could manage… … Dear Celestia, am I REALLY considering these things? What… What’s happening to me? Sometimes I think… I can’t remember what human woman look like… I keep seeing mares. The things I’m wanting to do with them… I’m… Scared… I don’t know how to handle these thoughts… These feelings… Ugh, best I just ignore them right now. I… I don’t think I can face this just yet… Anyway, it’s early evening, but I’m kinda beat. Maybe I should go find a hotel? Then again, beat I may be, but sleepy I am not. I did want to drop by Twilight’s today. Being she is the Princess’s number 1 student, and town librarian. I’m sure she’s got some good research material on magic. I’d love to get my hands on some of that if I could. It WOULD give me something to do… Hmmm… This IS an ask tumblr blog. I could see if I have any questions to answer while I wait for their responses… Hmm… Why not? I’m letting YOU my readers decide! Should I go find a hotel now? Or drop by Twilight’s first? (NOTE FROM EVENING STORM: Just to let my readers on FimFiction know: This FimFiction place is just a 'collection' of my travels. My actual tumblr, linked in the description to this story, obviously updates before this place, and is where the ponies/whoever that reads my tumblr can answer such questions. I'll always try to archive my travels here when I get five of them. Sadly, you can't really contact me through this, so if you are reading this here, you can't vote as it's already passed. :/ ) (ANOTHER NOTE: Being my travel tumblr, IS a tumblr. Ponies are able to ask me questions about my travels. Questions I will gladly answer. Such as this one: ) rainev1 asks: So Storm, between pegasi, unicorns and earth ponies, which are generally the most attractive? Ugh, here I wanted to put these thoughts out of my mind for the moment. *sigh* No no, I’ll answer now. Better to get it over with. Out of sight, out of mind… To be honest, I think I find unicorns most attractive. Though I’m not sure if that’s because I AM a Unicorn, or because of some leftover feelings I have from before my ponyness. I’ve always liked Unicorns. Their aura of mystery. The sent of magic. A hidden splash of grace. Then again, I just got done talking about Applejack and how sexy she seems to me. Maybe it’s the mane and tail. I don’t know. Pegasus I seem to find the least attractive, but I think it’s because I don’t know of many. Fluttershy is VERY cute, but a bit TOO timid for my likes… While Rainbow Dash… Well, I hope I don’t sound shallow, but the tommare was never really my type… I do find this kind of… Dangerous allure to Spitfire though. Though I doubt she’d find me interesting in return… Ugh, this is all so confusing. Do you have any idea how cute I find you? Your blue color, the purple hair. The- DEAR LUNA AND CELESTIA! What am I saying!? Uh! Uh!… J-just ignore me! Sorry! Evening Storm's Travels #8 Okay, so I’ve looked over the responses. (Ponies follow my tumblr! I wonder if I’ll ever get to meet any of you during my travels?) I got one vote to go to the hotel and two to go see Twilight at the Library first. …Then one to challenge Twilight to a magical duel… You DO realize that’s like asking me to vanquish an actual Ursa Major right? And I do mean MAJOR, not the minor Twilight has defeated. You know what? I TOTALLY did that. Twilight won. Anyway, that’s two to one, so it looks like I’m going to visit Twilight first! I’ve actually been trotting along (do ponies say they walked somewhere? Is it considered walking if you are a pony?) Levitating my laptop while updating this. I’m really beginning to get the hang of this levitation magic. About time I suppose. I’ve been a unicorn for over half a year now! I think this is my seventh month? Or is it my eighth? I really don’t know anymore. The more I’m a pony, the less I remember of my old life… Sometimes I wonder if my old self will disappear entirely… Oh… I’m here… … Okay I’m sure you aren’t wondering why I’m hesitating. I bet you all figured it out. Everypony… Twilight is my favorite of the mane six. If there was ANY mare I’d like to spend a quiet night by the fireplace with… It’s Twilight. Given how today has been going, I’m a bit frightened to go knock… What if I can’t control myself? What if I say something stupid? What if I give myself away to what I once was?! What if Spike is looking at me with a strange expression because I’m blocking his path to the door- EEP! Spike: “Uh… Can I help you or something?” Evening Storm: “Oh! Uh… Sorry about that. Is… Is Twilight home?” (Gah! I sound like I’m trying to ask if she can come out and play! >_< ) Spike: “Do… You have business with Twilight?” (Oh Celestia, the look he’s giving me. Yeah I bet I look pretty suspicious…) Evening Storm: “Oh sorry… I guess I must look rather odd. I’m from Canterlot. I’m a student of magic studies. I’ve heard Twilight knows a lot on the subject and just wanted to see if she had any suggestions for studying materials…” Spike: “Oh! You’re one of those ponies! Yeah Twilight knows a LOT about magic. She’s the Princess’ Number 1 student you know!” Evening Storm: “Huh… I heard rumors, but didn’t know that was for real!” (Oh Celestia, I hope I’m a convincing enough actor to pull that off!) Spike: “Oh yeah! She’s the most magical unicorn in town! I bet she could give you a whole stack of stuff to study!… Except it’s all over the ground inside right now…” Spike: *Sigh* Evening Storm: “So she’s busy studying herself right now? Should I come back later?” (… That didn’t sound right…) Spike: “Well sorta, She’s actually not here right now. She went to visit Zecora, oh she’s this Zebra, but don’t worry she’s cool, about some herbs and such while I ran errands in town.” Evening Storm: “Working on something big?” Spike: “You could say that. She’s been asked by the Princess herself to help uh… ‘Somepony’ with something…” Evening Storm: (I have a feeling my eyebrow is raised) “Somepony?” Spike: “Uh… I’m not suppose to talk about it… Can you uh… Not tell Twilight I slipped?” Evening Storm: “Sure thing Spi- I mean, baby dragon I’ve never met…” (*Sigh* He’s giving me a look again. Stupid Evening Storm!) Spike: “It’s… Spike. What’s your name?” Evening Storm: “Glad to meet you Spike! (I’m shaking hands with SPIKE!) You may call me Evening Storm!” New Vocals: “I KNEW IT! THAT IS YOU! YOU DISASTER ON LEGS!” Evening Storm: “EEEEEEEEP! OW!” Spike: “Dust Storm!? Are you crazy!? Why did you rush through the door and tackle him!?” Dust Storm: “WHY!? WHY!?! HE’S THE REASON I’M LIKE THIS!” Spike: : “YOU turned this guy into a mare?” Evening Storm: “AHH! IT WAS AN ACCIDENT! AN ACCIDENT!?” Dust Storm: “ACCIDENT!? Do you have ANY idea the horrors I’ve faced this last month!? NOTHING has changed me back! I’ve been laughed at by my colleges! The Great Princess Celestia finally sent me to her number one student in hopes SHE would be able to restore me! AND IT’S ALL BECAUSE OF YOU! WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT ALL THIS!?” Evening Storm: “Um… I really like… You’re mane?” (Oh geez why did I say that!? She’s going to kill me! I didn’t know Pegasus wings flared out like that in anger!) Bon Bon: “Oh dear, a lover’s spat! In the middle of the road no less!” Lyra: “Awww, How cute!” (AHH! STOP TALKING! HER FACE IS GETTING RED WITH ANGER!) Dust Storm: “… We’ll continue this INSIDE” (I’m… Dead…) Evening Storm's Travels #9 Twilight Sparkle: “…So let me get this straight. YOU are the unicorn pony that turned this Pegasus Stallion into, well pardon my classification, lovely mare?” Dust Storm: “Do you HAVE to call me lovely?” Evening Storm: “Well… Yes, but I wasn’t TRYING to turn her into a mare!” Twilight Sparkle: “Can… Can you tell me how it happened?” Dust Storm: “He screwed up a spell! That’s how it happened! Now I’m STUCK like this!” Evening Storm: “I didn’t think you’d still be stuck like that! I thought it’d be a simple dispel or something!” Twilight Sparkle: “Are you kidding!? I never even considered such a spell POSSIBLE! To think that you managed to change a stallion of Dust Storm’s stature into the pretty mare before us! It’s AMAZING!” Dust Storm: “STOP CALLING ME PRETTY!” (Uh oh, her face is going red again. Better see if I can calm her down!) Evening Storm: “Look, it was a mistake! I’ll do whatever it takes to fix it okay?” Dust Storm: “You’d BETTER…” (…That voice is like pure venom… If Twilight hadn’t come home not ten minutes after I was dragged in here, I’m sure I’d be dead…) Twilight Sparkle: “Well that’s the thing. I don’t know how one even DOES something like this. That’s why I was consulting with Zecora. I had hoped that her knowledge might shed some light on this problem.” Dust Storm: “And?” Twilight Sparkle:” Nothing for me to go on yet. If I knew what spell you were casting when this happened…” Evening Storm: “Well how much do you know?” Twilight Sparkle: “Only what the Princess Told me. She said that some powerful magic spell went haywire somewhere in the castle, and that it caused the genderswitch on Dust Storm here. The Princess said she sent her to me, as she was certain I’d have the answer to her problem…” (She looks stressed… Judging what I know about her, I’d say she not only doesn’t have the answer, but doesn’t even know where to begin looking…) Evening Storm: “Okay, well basically all I did was try to cast a uh… ‘Blooming spell’ Twilight Sparkle: “… On Dust storm?” Evening Storm: “NO! No, on some flowers of course! I was trying to learn magic! It was suppose to be a training spell! I just wanted to make a rose bloom!” Twilight Sparkle: “What? That’s not possible! How can such a simple spell lead to this? Why were you even trying to learn magic? You’re as old as me! You should have all sorts of education in magic!” Evening Storm: “Uh… I kinda come from far away. We don’t have many schools there for this sorta thing. It’s why I went to Canterlot.” Dust Storm: “Nevermind that! How do we FIX me!?” Twilight Sparkle: “Ugh, I don’t know! How did that spell even change you? Were you even in the room?” Dust Storm: “He wasn’t IN a room! He was casting this out in the gardens! I went over demanding to know what he was up to when he spun around and blasted me with his bucking spell! Next thing I know, I’m waking up as the ‘fairer sex’. Though I’m hard pressed to find ANYTHING about this as fair!” Evening Storm: “Well you startled me!” Dust Storm: “And YOU always cause trouble with your magic! Remember when you turned that wagon into bread!? My only regret is the birds ATE the bloody thing before I could show it to the Princess! As it was, we had to buy ANOTHER one!” Twilight Sparkle: “You made a wagon change to bread? What spell were you casting there?” Evening Storm: “I… I was trying to change it’s color to red…” Twilight Sparkle: “And instead you changed it into bread…” Evening Storm: “Look! I get it okay?! I suck at magic. I once tried to use it to groom my mane, and all it did was set me on fire!” Dust Storm: “Heh, that was one of the funny ones…” (Gah! I want to be mad at her, but it’s my bucking fault she’s even… Well a SHE right now…) Twilight Sparkle: “This entire thing is crazy! The magic you describe is some pretty strong ability! Didn’t anypony at the castle help you with it!?” Dust Storm: “You kidding? It’s like nopony even NOTICED. I was the only one. It’s like the Princess’s gave him free reign! I kept trying to tell them about him, but I could never get an audience till my… Misshap.” Evening Storm: “You told them then?” (…Does she HAVE to glare at me like that?) Dust Storm: “No, I had more PRESSING matters on my mind…” Twilight Sparkle: “Okay enough of this arguing! We’re not going to get anywhere like this! Evening Storm. Do you have a place to stay tonight?” Evening Storm: “Not yet, was going to hit the INN after this.” Twilight Sparkle: “No need, you’ll stay here tonight. We’ve got a lot of work to do, and it may take all night.” Evening Storm: “But uh… Isn’t… Isn’t that like inappropriate or something?” Twilight Sparkle: “I don’t understand what you mean. We’ve got a lot of research to do, and I have many more questions and tests I need you to help me with. It only makes sense for you to spend the night!” Evening Storm: “Y-You don’t have a problem w-w-with me s-staying here?” Twilight Sparkle: “Why? Are you nervous about the tests? Don’t worry, they won’t be hard!” Evening Storm: “Uh that’s not-“ Dust Storm: “Can it Stormy. I’m going to be here as well!” Evening Storm: “What!?” Twilight Sparkle: “Well of course she’ll be staying as well! How else am I suppose to analyze the spell on her?” Dust Storm: “That’s right, and believe me Stormy. I’m going to be WATCHING you.” Pinkie Pie: “Like a pony? Or were you going to say hawk? A lot of ponies seem to be saying that lately, but I just don’t get it. How can you watch someone like a hawk when you are CLEARLY a pony? I mean HELLO!” (GAH! Where did she COME FROM!? I swear nopony was next to me not five seconds ago! How does she DO that!?) Pinkie Pie: “Hi! I’m Pinkie Pie! And I came in through the window!” Evening Storm: “Um… Okay…” (Did she read my mind!?) Pinkie Pie: “Nice to meet you! Oh! By the way Evening Storm! Did you know your laptop is on?” Evening Storm: “What? It shouldn’t be on! Let me see that…” Twilight Sparkle: “I may regret asking this, but why are you even here Pinkie?” Pinkie Pie: “Well, I was at Sugar Cube Cornor when I realized we had new ponies in town! So I wanted to throw them a party! But then I remembered that I threw a party yesterday, and I DID promise to space out my parties more, so I thought, maybe a small party, but I didn’t know what to make it about, because we can’t make it about Dust Storm being a mare, because she doesn’t like being a mare, even though I think she looks SUPER DUPER CUTE as one!” Dust Storm: “W-what!?” (Is she blushing? Wait, this thing really IS on? Shut down! Shut Down!) Pinkie Pie: “So then I thought, maybe a party for dropping by, Ponyville! But then I didn’t know how many ponies to invite to that and-“ Evening Storm's Travels #10 Hey… Everypony… … Sorry I’m kinda tired… … Hmm… Oh, you probably want to know what’s up with Pinkie Pie right? … Do you think she knows? About me I mean? She knew about Dust Storm… … What am I going to do? I’m in Twilight’s home… THE Princess’s Prized pupil. No way I’m not going to get reported to her… The Princess I mean… I’m… I’m scared… What will happen if she finds out about me? I’m a pony. I mean… Human… I… Am I still human? I… I think I remember what it was like… …What’s happening? What am I doing? I’m sorry… My mind is scattered right now… Okay. So… Current situation: Pinkie has decided to hold a party for Dust Storm and I tomorrow. Well with much ‘convincing’ on Twilight’s part. I think the party is going to be a simple ‘Friendship’ party. Pinkie says Dust Storm and I need to make some friends. So, with her gone for the night, Twilight got to work on trying to figure out what went wrong with my spell. So that’s were we currently are. She’s already given myself an intense magical scan. … Did you all think something dirty? All I did was stand there as she used her own magic to scan me. She even told me flat out all it’d do was gauge my magic levels. Right now she’s doing the same to Dust Storm. The process takes a good several minutes, which is why I decided to take the time to update you all on tumblr. To be honest part of me wants to run. Gallop away as fast as I can. But… But I can’t leave Dust Storm like this… It’s MY fault she’s a mare now… She’s a mare because I bucked up. … Can I ask you all something? Do you wish you were in my hooves? Er Shoes… Proverbial shoes? Is that even the right phrase? Oh Horseapples, you know what I mean. I just wonder. How many people would love to be a pony in Equestria? How many would give anything to go on the very journey I’m on now? I won’t lie. So far it’s been amazing. I’ve studied in Canterlot. I’ve trekked across a country yard you’d be hard pressed to find back… Well you know… I’ve met Rarity, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, even Twilight Sparkle. I’ve… I’ve MET them. Spoken with them. I’ve… Had thoughts about them I wish I hadn’t… Guys I’m SO CLOSE to Twilight right now. She was always my favorite of the mane six… I think I said that already… Sorry. I… I can’t help it. I wish I could catch her eye or something you know? Get to know her, possibly form something ‘more’ then a friendship with her. The two of us… Together on a rainy night… Cuddled together under a blanket by the fireplace… (She even have one? Wouldn’t that burn the tree down? I’m going off topic) Maybe have a good book to read… Cup of coco… I feel like I know her already. But… Well… She knows NOTHING about me. I don’t think Twilight even HAS those kind of thoughts about Stallions. Besides who am I? In the world I came from, I’d just be some random OC pony. Yeah, me and Twilight? The fans would eat me alive. Well… At the very least I might have a friendship with her. If I get that, it’d be more then anything I’d have hoped for… There’s still so much more to all this then just that however… NegaStorm is still out there. I still need to help fix Dust Storm… And then… Then there is ‘her’ I haven’t really talked about ‘her’ much on this blog. I think I wrote down a dream or two way back. Before I got this new laptop. I haven’t heard from the White Alicorn in my dreams for a while now. I kinda hope it STAYS that way. … Take it from me everypony- er one… This… ‘situation’ I’m in? A pony in this world? It’s… It’s both great… And really REALLY scary… Because of me, a stallion may have to live their life in a body not their own… Am I just going to ruin lives while here? Spike: “Hey Evening Storm! What you up to?” Evening Storm: “Oh hey Spike. I’m just updating my tumblr blog. What’s up?” Spike: “I think Twi is about done with her magic scan on Dust Storm. She’ll want to start the tests up pretty soon. Trust me I know her.” Evening Storm: “Ah, guess I should head down there then. Be right there.” Sorry ponies, looks like it’s time to get magic testing. I’ll have to check back in with all of you later! (OOC NOTE: You may be wondering a bit about Dust Storm.

Travel Logs 11-15 + More Bonus ContentEvening Storm’s Travels #11 -Evening Storm, the jet black pony stallion gazed over the sleeping form of the beautiful pegasus mare, Dust Storm. It was his fault that she was a mare. The grief clawed at him. Even more due to the guilt he felt at the thoughts running through his head. The truth was that she was lovely. Perfectly curved. Her delicate frame like a flower twirling in the breeze. He found her pretty. Intoxicating even, and that only made it all the worse. How could he think such things? She wasn’t suppose to be like this. He had hurt her. He had ruined her life. “Mmm, what?” She spoke suddenly opening her eyes to stare right at him. He froze frightened. He hadn’t meant to watch her while she slept. She had just looked so adorable. He couldn’t help himself. But now she’d scream at him. Scream at him for making her what she was. Accuse him of being a stalker. He couldn’t argue with her. He knew he’d never make it up to her… What he’d done… “Evening Storm?” She said with a mixture of shock and embarrassment. ”What do YOU want?” “I-I’m sorry…” He said quietly… “I’m sorry for everything…” He hung his head, shamed. “It’s my fault you are like this. I’m a terrible pony... “N-no I’m sorry…” She said suddenly. Drawing his head up in shock. What did she say? “W-what?” He repeated, eyes wide. The entire time he had known Dust Storm, he had NEVER heard her apologize herself! “I shouldn’t have kept bothering you about your spells. I.. I know you were just practicing. It’s just… You always looked so excited to try a spell. It… It made me jealous. I’ve always wanted to use magic, but I can’t being what I am… I think I took it out on you. Can you forgive me?” He couldn’t speak. Could’t formulate any kind of response. Was this a dream? She couldn’t really be saying these things was she? “Truth be told, I always found your exploits rather amusing. Dealing with you was always a highlight of my day… Then when you turned me into a mare by mistake. Well I was angry at first, but then… uh…” She moved out of bed to inch toward him. The look in her eyes that of longing. He tried to run, but his legs had locked. He couldn’t comprehend her words. Was she saying she didn’t mind being a mare? That couldn’t be right could it? “I… I think my feelings have grown a bit… Different towards you now…” Her head rubbed up against his neck, sending shivers down his spine. The touch of their skin causing both to feel chills. She was being so bold! So forward. Could this really be happening? He realized with a start that what was befalling was no mere dream. This was reality! Gazing into her eyes, he saw her inching in for a kiss. Wanting nothing more in the entire land of Equestria just then, he leaned forward- Evening Storm: “PINKIE! Why do you have my laptop open!?” Pinkie Pie: “Uh. No reason at all! What’s up?” Evening Storm: “Twilight gave us a small break from the tests… Why won’t you let me see the screen?” Pinkie Pie: “Oh no reason. I just don’t want you to see the super secret party plans I have written up for your party tomorrow!” Evening Storm: “Oh I guess that makes sense… Wait why did you need to use my laptop?” Pinkie Pie: “Because I didn’t have any paper silly!” Evening Storm: “We’re in Twilight’s Library. She has tons of paper!” Pinkie Pie: “Oops. Silly me!” Evening Storm: “… Let me see the screen” Pinkie Pie: “Nopey Dopey Lopey!” Evening Storm: “It’s my laptop Pinkie! Let me see!” Pinkie Pie: “No!” Evening Storm: “Stop running away with it and let me see!” Pinkie Pie: “Never!” Evening Storm: “GIVE ME MY LAPTOP PINKIE!” Pinkie Pie: “NO! IT’S FOR THE CUSTOMER!” Evening Storm: “THAT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE!” Evening Storm’s Travels #12 Um… Hey everypony… Um… I… I have a problem… Okay, you know the magic tests we were having last night? Yeah they went pretty late. So late that the three of us… Well we fell asleep downstairs. There were some cushions and such, so it wasn’t that bad. I actually went to sleep behind this couch of hers that we had dragged to the center of the room sometime during the tests. Yeah, those tests… I’m sure Twilight wants to look over the results… Spike, Dust Storm and myself all had to convince her to get some sleep first. She was so tired. Dust Storm was so tired. They were uh, not as tired as I thought they were I guess. Or they like to uh… Sleep trot… … Okay, time to stop beating around the bush. You see I was alone when I went to sleep. I’m NOT alone right now… On one side of me, her head resting lovingly upon the back of my lower neck is Twilight Sparkle. She is VERY MUCH pressed against me. It’s uh… Making it a bit difficult to keep this connection to my laptop which is still on a table several feet from me. Thank GOD I was able to use just enough magic to bring it close enough to at least turn it on and type this. Now you may be wondering why I said ‘on one side’ … Yeah Dust Storm is curled up against my OTHER side. Her wing draped over my back. I… I never noticed just how… Sexy(Wait strike that), That is, uh… ‘Alluring’ she is as a mare… I feel weird. I mean I knew her as a Stallion, but seeing her all curled up next to me like this in that mare’s body… GAH THIS IS DRIVING ME INSANE! I want to… But I can’t… It wouldn’t be right… -THEY- -ARE- -SO- -GOING- -TO- -KILL- -ME- -WHEN- -THEY- -WAKE- -UP- Before you ask, yes I tried to escape. It didn’t work. Both of them flinched and snuggled closer when I tried to do that. Twilight mumbling something about not finished reading. I think she’s dreaming I’m a book. Dust Storm just said ‘Comfy’. Probably thinks I’m a pillow or something. I haven’t seen Spike anywhere, so I can’t ask him to help me… Guys what am I going to do? Twilight will either just be embarrassed, or appalled at this situation when she wakes up. But Dust Storm? Ever seen what a Pegasus pony can do with their wings? Some have enough magic control to turn them into a make shift blade. I’ve seen this one white Pegasus demonstrate it a few times, and I know for a fact Dust Storm is capable of it. I don’t feel like getting sliced in half. What makes this all worse is what my hormones are asking, and you can all shut up about that. I dare you to be in my situation and not have that problem. >_< So… Yeah… I’d like to NOT be in this situation when they wake up… Any ideas? Evening Storm’s Travels #12.5 Okay, so it’s been about an hour, so time to check to see what suggestions I’ve been given: rainev1 answered your question: Evening Storm’s Travels #12 Just enjoy snuggling with them while you can. If this is your final night, might as well make it a good one. Actually I think I’m enjoying this a bit TOO much… volt229 answered your question: Evening Storm’s Travels #12 Cold shower. And cool down your libido, Casanova. You Make is sound so damn easy! I’m sorry I like Twilight so much that this kinda messes with me! askjzargo answered your question: Evening Storm’s Travels #12 tried teleporting out? midnightflourish answered your question: Evening Storm’s Travels #12 Teleportation? Telekinesis?! But then again, what kind of stallion doesn’t want to be smothered by two hot mares? Teleportation!? I set myself on fire when trying to cast a simple grooming spell! I don’t think Teleportation is a good idea. AT ALL. And Yes. I’m enjoying the closeness of these two mares an awful lot. But when they wake up… Besides… It’s not right. It’s not like they want to cuddle with me. They think I’m a book or a pillow… It’s just… Never mind, I just need a way out of this before they kill me upon waking… bronysnap answered your question: Evening Storm’s Travels #12 Ok, here is what you need to do. Get a conch shell horn and yell “NEWS TEAM! ASSEMBLE!” This should fix all your problems. …You’re high aren’t you? dark-shadowsky answered your question: Evening Storm’s Travels #12 Try moving again, and if they start to wake up just start singing Hush Now, Quiet Now… not the Sweetie Belle version. graybodash answered your question: Evening Storm’s Travels #12 Hmm, if they are TRULY in very deep sleeps, try talking to them in a very quiet voice and see if you can convince them to move. Hmm, these two seem to have the highest probability of success. I might be able to convince them to move if I whisper to them while they sleep. Maybe I can mess with their dreams or something. Make them not want to cuddle me… If they do begin to rouse, I might be able to sing Hush Now, Quiet Now… I’m afraid I lack Sweetie Belle’s or Fluttershy’s angelic voices though… Well anyway, here goes nothing… Hmm I’ll attempt to get Twilight to move first… Evening Storm: (w) “Twilight… Twilight it’s time to write a letter to Princess Celestia. You don’t want to be tardy in doing so do you?” Twilight Sparkle: (w) “Ennnn, no… Must… letter…” Success! She’s rolled away from me! I’m free from her! Now for Dust Storm! … Crap! What would get Dust Storm to move? Uh… Uh… Evening Storm: (w) “Uh… Dust Storm! For excellent service we wish to present you with an award. Please come to the throne room.” Dust Storm: (w) “Mmmm? Party?” Evening Storm: (w) “S-sure. For a party.” Dust Storm: (w) “Mmmm, ice cream?” Evening Storm: (w) “Y-yes! With ice cream. Better hurry before it melts!” Dust Storm: (w) “Mmmmmmmm Ice cream…” AHH! NO NO! I’M NOT ICE CREAM! EEE! D-D-D-DON’T LICK MY FACE! AH! NO! THIS IS BAD! Twilight Sparkle: (w) “Ice cream?” EEEEP! NO! NOT YOU TOO! MY NECK ISN’T ICE CREAM! AH! Oooo, ah, t-that’s… NO! FOCUS! OF ALL THE BAD THINGS TO HAPPEN THIS IS THE WORST POSSIBLE THING! Need a way out! Need a way out! CRAP! I set a pillow on fire! Good thing- Ah! That tickles! The pillow wasn’t near us- ACK! S-STOP LICK- Wait! A fire! That’s it! Inhale and… Evening Storm: “AHHHHHHHHHHH FIRE! FIRE IN THE LIBRARY!” Twilight Sparkle: “W-what?! Fire? AHHH A FIRE! PUT IT OUT!” Dust Storm: “Dang it Evening Storm! This is your fault isn’t it!? Where are you!?” Evening Storm: “BACK UP!” Twilight Sparkle: “You levitated the dish water out of the sink to the fire? Good thinking!” Evening Storm: “T-thanks, though I’m the idiot who couldn’t control his magic that started the stupid thing..” Dust Storm: “Ha! I knew it! This is why I was always watching you at the caste!” Twilight Sparkle: “Now stop that! It’s natural for any unicorn still learning magic to slip up on their control from time to time. Though I do have to admit. It usually only happens during times of stress. Did you have a Nightmare or something?” Evening Storm: “N-No, n-nothing like that.” Dust Storm: “Then just what-“ Twilight Sparkle: “I said enough Dust Storm! The fire is out and we’re all okay! That’s all that matters!” Spike: “What’s going on down here? Whoa! What happened to that pillow?” Dust Storm: “Ask Pryohoof over there.” Evening Storm: “L-look I’m sorry okay? I screwed up. I’ll try to be more careful…” Spike: “Ah don’t fret it dude. I’ve accidently set my bed on fire a couple of times. It’s the dragon flames you know. I’m getting pretty good at making them!” Twilight Sparkle: “Spike! Don’t brag about setting fires!” Dust Storm: “Uh… Hey there Stormy. I know I was just giving you crap but are you okay? You look sorta flustered for some reason… Y-You’re not sick are you?” Evening Storm: “N-no, I-I’m just feeling a little… Hot… Probably because of the magic discharge or something…” Thank goodness! Seems they didn’t notice where they were upon waking! Twilight Sparkle: “Hmm, that is possible. Are you sure you weren’t having a bad dream? Sometimes that can affect things.” Evening Storm: “No! I sleeped good! You sleep good?” S-stop making me remember what just happened! Twilight Sparkle: “Oh yes I slept very well thank you. I was having the most wonderful dream too…” Dust Storm: “You too? Maybe your good fortune rubbed off on me. I’ve been having irritating dreams recently thanks to a certain Unicorn. (Sigh, she’s glaring at me) But I do admit… Last night was fairly peaceful. I wish I could remember what I was dreaming about. I think it must have been rather nice for a change…” Twilight Sparkle: “I’d like to recall mine as well. I really should see about finding a spell to remember one’s dreams. I’d like to see about replicating this one.” Evening Storm: “SO ANYWAY! I’M GLAD EVERYTHING IS OKAY! I’M STILL FEELING ALL SWEATY SO I THINK I’LL GO TAKE A SHOWER. A COLD ONE! YOU KNOW TO COOL OFF THE HOTNESS!” Twilight Sparkle: “Um… Okay. The shower is that way…” Evening Storm: “THANK YOU!” Dust Storm: “… You think he’s really sick? Ugh, I hope I wasn’t yelling at a sick pony. Even he doesn’t deserve to be yelled at while sick…” Spike: “Really? I’m surprised you say that. Seems like you hate the guy.” Dust Storm: “So? Doesn’t mean I want him to die or anything. I still might need him to fix me!” Spike: “Why is your face red?” Dust Storm: “SHUT UP!” Evening Storm Travels Question Time! Staring Pinkie Pie! Hello Everypony! Pinkie Pie here! How is everyone who’s following Stormy’s blog doing? I have to say that I’m SUPER DUPER EXCITED to be throwing that party this afternoon! I bet EVERYPONY will be there! Oh! But I told Twilight I’d keep it to a small party… Oh well, who doesn’t love to party? It’d be irresponsible for me not to invite everypony in town! Anyway that aside, don’t you think that ol Stormy is too shy? I mean I know he use to be a human and all, but HELLO you’re a pony now silly nilly! Oh, you probably want to know how I know what he use to be. Well you see, I’ve known about humans for a while. I know all sorts of neat little things. Oh! Oh! Like did you know that chocolate goes really well with fortune cookies? I bet you didn’t! ANYWAY, I think he needs to loosen up. There are all these pretty mares around him, and he doesn’t try to make friends! Or more! Even -I- know what stallions like, and I think he should look into it! There are so many ponies he’d look good with! I know he likes Trixie and all, but she’s so hard to find, and I don’t think they’d go well together at all! Besides isn’t there a yellow colt with red hair that likes her more or something? Oh I’m getting off track. What I REALLY want to do is ask you all a question! Or maybe two. OR THREE! One! Don’t you think he needs to lighten up? I know he’s got all these problems, but he needs to enjoy himself more! That’s why I’m throwing a party later! Two! Don’t you think he should let me use this cool lapytop more often? I think my story about him was really good! I bet Rarity would have liked it. She’s always reading that sorta stuff. Oh, Fluttershy doesn’t actually. I know you’re disappointed, but she doesn’t. While I’m at it, I don’t do THAT sorta thing with cupcakes! SHAME ON YOU ALL! Anyway, do you think Stormy should try for a mare? Which one do you think he’d go good with? I think he’s been alone long enough don’t you? OOPS! He’s getting out of that shower. That means he’ll be coming for this. Twilight said to have it ready when she went over the test results. Oh, by the way. Don’t tell Evening Storm this, but I took a picture of them when Dusty and Twi were both cuddling with him as they slept. It’s SOOOOOOO super cute! I’ll have to see about posting it sometime when Stormy isn’t looking! Gotta go now! Feel free to answer my questions! Oh and don’t let him know about this post okay? Note from Evening Storm: Does it seem like here is an extra bit of text between Journal Entries here? When uploading my logs to this site, I swear some extra data came with it, but every time I try to check it seems to glitch out... How odd... It seems to happen near the end of these posts as well... Maybe it's a virus? I hope not... Anyway: Evening Storm’s Travels #13 Twilight Sparkle: “…when it’s on okay?” Evening Storm: “Okay it seems to be recording our conversation. Well in text format anyway. You sure you want it on for this?" Twilight Sparkle: “Yes I want some sort of record of this, and I believe this will be an easier way to document it, rather then have poor Spike attempt to write it all down.” Dust Storm: “Makes sense. So what are the test results?” Twilight Sparkle: “Well Dust Storm. Please excuse my ah… ‘Excitement’ on the subject, by I can’t get over how amazing of a job the spell has done on you! You are certainly a mare in every way that counts! If the Princess herself hadn’t told me that you had been magically changed, I’d never have thought it! You’re genetic make up is so perfectly a mare, that you could even have a foal if you wanted!” Dust Storm: “A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-WHAT!?” Twilight Sparkle: “Oh dear I think I went a bit too far there. Now please calm down Miss Dust Storm…” Dust Storm: “M-Miss Dust Storm… I’m… I’m really a mare… I-I-I c-c-could have foals…” Evening Storm: *Sigh* “Good one Twilight…” Twilight Sparkle: “Sorry!” Dust Storm: “STORMY! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT! FIX ME! FIX ME! FIX ME!” Evening Storm: “GACK! ACG! MUG! TLACK!” Twilight Sparkle: “Dust Storm! Stop chocking him! He can’t fix you if he’s dead! Spike! Help me get her off him!” Evening Storm: : “I WILL! I PROMISE!” (N-no response… She’s not even looking at me anymore…) Evening Storm: “That being said, let’s skip to the important stuff. HOW do I fix her?” Twilight Sparkle: “Well… That’s the main issue here. I can’t even tell that Dust Storm was magicked in the first place. Therefore I have no idea how you’d change her back. For all I know another ‘blooming’ spell could do it!” Evening Storm: “Well should I try that?” Twilight Sparkle: “Not yet. I said it ‘could’ do it. It could also change her in a different way entirely. Possibly even into a different type of pony! While the magic behind this is fascinating, it’s also pretty frightening. How is it that you haven’t been in magic training classes before?” Evening Storm: “It’s a long story.” Twilight Sparkle: “Well I’ll have to hear it sometime. It brings us to the test results I got from YOU. You are an even bigger mystery then Dust Storm here. I can tell you are a unicorn stallion just fine, and that you have some pretty incredible magic in you. But… There are all these oddities. There seems to be some other type of energy in you. There are so many little things that came up that are just so… Vague… It’s rather perplexing. Just what are you?” Evening Storm: “To be honest I don’t know myself…” Twilight Sparkle: “What do you mean?” Evening Storm: “Look, I’m sorry but I can’t remember too much of before my time in Canterlot. What I do recall I can’t share right now. I know this isn’t what you want to hear, but I just can’t. I do know it has nothing to do with how my spell effected Dust Storm. So right now I’d like to concentrate on fixing her.” Dust Storm: “So… Does this mean I’m going to be stuck as a mare for a while longer?” Twilight Sparkle: “I’m sorry… At the moment I have to say yes, but I’ll do everything in my power to make sure it’s as short a while as I can make it!” Dust Storm: “…Thank you Twilight Sparkle. I’m… I’m going to retire to my temporary room for the moment. Please fetch me when Pinkie is ready to throw her… Party…” Twilight Sparkle: “Alright I will. Please don’t worry, we’ll figure this out. I am the Princess’ Number one student after all!” Dust Storm: “Yeah… Thank you.” Evening Storm: “….Damn it…” Twilight Sparkle: “You can’t blame yourself. You had no way of knowing.” Evening Storm: “Twilight, I’ve destroyed her life. HIS life. To be honest I don’t know why I’m here. What I’m suppose to be doing, but so far it looks like I’m just meant to cause problems…” Twilight Sparkle: “You know I heard about how you saved the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Do you think that was causing a problem?” Evening Storm: “Well no-“ Twilight Sparkle: “Then don’t worry about it. You’re magic is just a bit untamed that’s all. With me to help you focus I’m sure we’ll have Dust Storm back to normal in no time.” Evening Storm: “I hope you’re right Twilight. I really do…” Twilight Sparkle: “How about we take a break? I can talk to you about some of the oddities in your test results later.” Evening Storm: “Thanks… That sounds good.” Twilight Sparkle: “No problem. Spike? Let’s get some snacks.” Spike: “Alright! Can we get some rubies?” Twilight Sparkle: “Spike, you’re the only one who can EAT rubies!” Spike: “So?” Evening Storm’s Travels #14 So… Hey everypony. It’s been a while since I’ve just talked to you all directly… As you can see, things are pretty hectic right now… I just spent the entire night in Twilight’s home… This… This should be a happy thing… Guys I’m worried. I honestly didn’t think Dust Storm would be stuck as she is. I really thought the Princess or something could change her back. Instead she’s been stuck like that for a while now… A few months or so… I… I can’t believe I did that to her… But that isn’t the worst part… Guys I… There is a part of me that doesn’t WANT her to change back. When a Stallion, he use to annoy me to no end. He’d CONSTANTLY pop up at the worst times to disrupt my attempts at controlling my magic. Even when I tried to do it as far away from the castle and town as possible. But as a mare… I remember admitting that I didn’t find Pegasus ponies all that attractive, but that was before the current Dust Storm popped back up in my life. I don’t know what it is exactly… Maybe it’s because she’s hurt? I know she puts up a tough front, but the fact she’s living a new life is hard on her. Maybe it’s because it reminds me of myself… Perhaps neither of us know why we are here right now. What we should do with these new lives that have befallen us. The problem is that while mine is most likely the result of… ‘That White Alicorn’ (That’s my theory anyway. Why else won’t she leave me alone? Well she has recently, but I’m not convinced she’s left…) Dust Storm’s predicament is MY fault. This is all so confusing. Made all the worst by the fact that Twilight is surely suspicious of me now. I mean I told her flat out that I don’t want to talk about my past. I’m not sure ponies in this world DO that. It’s true though, in a way. I really don’t remember much of my past. Not anymore. My old name… What was it? I think it began with a ‘J’… Twilight Sparkle: “Evening Storm! Are you out here?” Evening Storm: “Oh hey Twilight. Sorry just doing a journal update while out here on your balcony. I have to say though. The view this early in the morning… It’s wonderful..” Twilight Sparkle: “Oh I know. It’s even better in the late afternoon. Sometimes I like to curl up with a book here.” Evening Storm: “Must be nice. So what’s up? I’m sure you didn’t come find me to talk about books.” (Actually then again… It IS Twilight Sparkle…) Twilight Sparkle: “I know you’re probably tired and possibly many other emotions I can’t understand right now. I just want you to know that I understand if you don’t want to tell me everything.” Evening Storm: “Really?” Twilight Sparkle: “Oh don’t give me that look. I wasn’t the social butterfly myself before coming to Ponyville. Given some time here I’m sure you’ll open up.” Evening Storm: “Well Uh… I’m not really planning on staying here too long. I was on a journey after all…” Twilight Sparkle: “I see. Would you mind sticking around for a little while at least? Until we can find a plan for Dust Storm at least.” Evening Storm: “I can’t leave her like that, so of course. I have to do something. Though to be honest I have a feeling the answer is out there.” Twilight Sparkle: “You may be right, and I have my own thoughts about that, but we’ll get to those later. I have a test I’d like you to help me with.” Evening Storm: “That’s the REAL reason you found me isn’t it? For another test…” Twilight Sparkle: “Oh come on! It’ll be quick I promise! Oh how does Rarity do that thing? Please? PLEASE?!” (GAH! THE CUTENESS! DAMN YOU TWILIGHT!) Evening Storm: “First off you said that ‘Rarity’ part out loud. Second knock it off! I’ll do it already!” Twilight Sparkle: “Oh! Uh well, at any rate, the test is right down here…” I’m going to regret this aren’t I? I’ll talk to you all later… Evening Storm’s Travels #15 Pinkie: “HELLO EVERYPONY! How are you all doing!?” Evening Storm: “Pinkie get off my labtop…” Pinkie: “Now now, is that anyway to speak to your elders?” Evening Storm: “Colt or Stallion that’s still my labtop!” Dust Storm: “HaHaHaHaHa! I can’t stand it! You’re just so precious!” Twilight Sparkle: “I hate to admit it ‘little one’ but you do look awfully cute like that!” Evening Storm: “Stop it! I wouldn’t even BE like this if it wasn’t for your ‘test’ Twilight!” Twilight Sparkle: “Heh… Admittedly that didn’t go quite as I expected…” Evening Storm: “Ya think?” Pinkie: “Oh oh! But it was SOOOOOO much fun!” Evening Storm: “None of that was ‘fun’ this entire day has been hectic as all hay!” Spike: “How did you know that’d even WORK Stormy?” Evening Storm: “Is that my nick name now?” Dust Storm: “It sure is little Stormy! Little precious coltly wolty! BWhahahahaha” (She’s enjoying this WAY to much…) Evening Storm: “Big words for some pony who was all over me earlier.” Dust Storm: “T-that was… You know why that happened!” Evening Storm: “Heh heh heh SNORT! Ah dang it! I even laugh like a little colt!” Dust Storm: “Pffffffffffft! WA HA HA HA HA!” (Well she fell over) Pinkie: “So when are you going to update everypony on what happened today?” Evening Storm: “If it’s all the same I’d rather FORGET today if at all possible.” Twilight Sparkle: “Yes well, at the very least we should see about doing something for the rest of Ponyville. I think keeping this secret might be a good idea…” Pinkie: “Aw! But that’s boooooooring! You’ve got to tell everypony on your Tumblr Stormy! The story is loads of funny and sillyness!” Dust Storm: “Yeah, let them all know why you are the CUTEST thing alive right now! Ha ha ha!” (Bah, I’m trying to let Dust Storm have her fun since I’m feeling so guilty about making her a mare, but she’s really starting to push my buttons…) Pinkie: “Oh! OH! I’ve got a great idea! Let ME write it! Oh please!? I’ll do such a great job at it!” Evening Storm: “No way!” Pinkie: “But I already have it recording this conversation! You’ll have to tell them SOMETHING.” Evening Storm: “You what!? Gah! I’ll just do a post with bullet points or something!” Dust Storm/Spike/Twilight Sparkle: “What’s a bullet?” Evening Storm: “Never mind! The point is I don’t want to recall the day’s events!” Pinkie: “That’s why I’M going to write about them!” Evening Storm: “NO YOU AREN’T!” Dust Storm: “Aw, wooks wike widdle Evening Storm needs a nappy wappy!” Evening Storm: “…I really hate you right now.” Twilight Sparkle: “Now behave Dust Storm… *snirk* It’s not nice to tease the children!” Evening Storm: “TWILIGHT!” Twilight Sparkle: “Sorry! Sorry! I couldn’t resist!” Evening Storm: “PLEASE tell me I can go back to normal soon…” Spike: “Aw cheer up dude. I’m sure it won’t be that much longer. Twilight here probably has it just about ready. Right Twilight?” Twilight Sparkle: “Well not quite Spike. But I do think I know how to do it. I’ll just need a few things from my lab. Will you assist me Spike?” Spike: “Of course! I am your number one assistant!” Dust Storm: “Hey look on the bright side Stormy. If things don’t work out. Maybe someone will adopt you!” Evening Storm: “Very cute. Are you going to stop brushing my mane anytime soon?” Dust Storm: “Nope! You’re just too adorable!” Pinkie: “Come on Evening Storm! I’ll do a good job on writing stuff down! I Pinkie Promise I’ll only write what really happened!” Evening Storm: “Why would I want my embaressment documented!?” Pinkie: “Aw, the day wasn’t that bad.” Dust Storm: “Yeah loosen up Stormy! Don’t get your diaper all in a bunch! Ha ha ha!” (That’s it! Pinkie if you play along with what I’m about to do, you’ve got yourself a deal alright? Shout cupcake if you agree.) Pinkie: “CUPCAKE!” Dust Storm: “Uh… What now?” Evening Storm: “Uhhhhh I don’t feel so good…” Dust Storm: “Oh don’t try that, you aren’t getting away that easily.” Pinkie: “Oh no!” Dust Storm: “Wait what do you mean oh no?” Pinkie: “Poison Joke gets worse the longer you are affected by it! I think he’s been under it’s spell too long!” Evening Storm: (This is gonna be good.) “M-mommy?” Dust Storm: “Wait What? Who? D-d-did y-y-you just c-call me m-m-mommy?” Evening Storm: “It is you mommy! Hug!” Dust Storm: “AH! No wait! Stormy snap out of it! That’s the poison joke talking!” Evening Storm: “M-mommy why are you talking weird… What’s wrong?” Dust Storm: “Ah! No! Back up! I can’t be your mother! I’m a guy!” Pinkie: “Psst, you look like a mare to me Dusty!” Evening Storm: “Mommy! What’s wrong! Why won’t you hug me?” (Oh dear Celestia! The look on her face! XD) Dust Storm: “No! No! I can’t be a mom! No! Get away from me!” Evening Storm: “But Mommy I wuvs you!” Dust Storm: “NO! NO! AHHHHHHHHHHH!” Pinkie/Evening Storm: “PFFFFFFFFFFFFFT BWAHAHAHAHAHA!” Pinkie: “Did you see her run?! That was great!” Evening Storm: “Heh, I have to agree. Well I’m going to go help Twilight. I want to be grown up again before Dust Storm realizes that was a trick.” Pinkie: “Okie Doki Loki!” Evening Storm: “Now you PINKIE promise to only write what really happened right? No more ‘novels’…” Pinkie: “Yeah, Yeah! I Pinkie Promise!” Evening Storm: “I’m going to regret this I just know…” Pinkie: “Anyway pony folk and non-pony folk! You heard him! Stay tuned for Pinkie’s AMAZING story describing the day today! Till then, Choa!” * * * PSSST! Hey! Hey you people or ponies reading this story! Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie! I wanted to add the picture I took of Stormy while he was cuddled with Twilight and Dusty, but I don't think I can sneak a picture past Evening Storm. I managed to get my text posts through, as well as this little thing in here without him being able to see it. But a picture? No way! So instead I'm sneaking you the link to it! Click here to see the picture of Stormy cuddling with Twiligth and Dust Storm! Just don't tell Stormy about it! He might not let me take any pictures anymore!
Travel Logs 16-17 + Dust Storm Diaries/ExtrasEvening Storm's Travels #16 Evening Storm: “Pinkie how are you typing the story while trotting? Aren’t you unable to see where you’re going?” Pinkie: “Silly Nilly, I’m Pinkie Pie!” Evening Storm: “You know, the fact that is a legit answer annoys me.” Dust Storm: “Well if it’s any consolation, everything about you annoys me.” Evening Storm: “Gee thanks…” Pinkie: “Oh be nice you two. You’re being recorded via text!” Evening Storm: “We are what now?” Dust Storm: “What, are you writing down what we are saying now as part of that story thing you are doing? How in the world did you ever get Stormy here to agree to that?” Evening Storm: “Silly Filly! She’s Pinkie Pie!” Dust Storm: “…I hate you so much right now” Pinkie: “Actually I’m doing a Journey update for you right now!” Evening Storm: “What!? Why?” Pinkie: “Why not?” Evening Storm: “All we are doing is going to the flower shop to pick up a few things for Twilight. Between fixing her ‘test’ spell, and then brewing up the Poison Joke cure for me, she hasn’t had time to do much else, and Spike has been too busy helping her. So here we are…. Yeah that update sucked. So again, why?” Pinkie: “Because!” Evening Storm: “Ugh, I give up.” Dust Storm: “Just do me a favor and never go into poison joke again.” Evening Storm: “You keep saying that. Did something HAPPEN while I was a colt?” Dust Storm: “N-nothing important! It was just weird at the end.” Evening Storm: “Hmmm? Weird how?” (Oh man the look on her face! XD I’m gonna milk this for all it’s worth! Even if the end result kills me!) Dust Storm: “Just drop it okay?” Pinkie: “Awwww, but I think you’d make a great one of those!” (Oh god Pinkie Winked at her. OH GOD THE BLUSH ON DUST STORM’S FACE!) Dust Storm: “SHUT UP!” Evening Storm: “Are you suuuuuuuuuure nothing-“ Dust Storm: “I SAID TO DROP IT!” Pinkie Pie: (Geh, can’t laugh… She’ll know what is up if I laugh…) Dust Storm: “Anyway we are here, let’s just get the stuff and go!” Evening Storm: “Alright if you say so…” (Since I know the laptop is picking up my thoughts, I’ll add this. This isn’t the first time I’ve seen Rose or Lily. You’ll find out why when Pinkie gets that story up. Oddly enough though I didn’t see Daisy. I remember back when I wasn’t ‘In Equestria’ that I really didn’t like Daisy’s colors. Though oddly enough, part of me really wants to meet her.) Rose: “So what can I get for you three?” Dust Storm: “Ah yes, we need these herbs and flowers. Do you have any?” (For those who can’t see, which is all of you, Dust Storm handed them the list Twilight gave us) Rose: “I do believe we have some of these. Please wait while I gather them for you!” Pinkie: “Thanks Rosey!” Lily: “So… Are you and the stallion over there dating?” Dust Storm: “W-w-what!? NO!” Evening Storm: “So this was just a game to you? You were just PLAYING with me?” Dust Storm: “WHAT!? WHAT ARE YOU SAYING!?” Lily: *Giggles* “You two are obviously very close!” (Oooh… That look on Dust Storm.She’s going to kill me later, but it’s worth it! … I do have to wonder now… Is that a red face of anger or is she blushing? That can’t be it right?) Daisy: “Hi girls! I’m back!” Lily: “Welcome back Daisy! Did you manage to find those flowers you were after?” Daisy: “Yeah it took me a while but… I…” (She’s… She’s staring at me like she’s seen a ghost… Why… Why am I so scared all of a sudden? Her… Her eyes… What…) Daisy: “It… It can’t be…” Evening Storm: “Um… Have we… met?” Daisy: “Don’t say that… Please… You have to be him! Oh please, you look just like him! You have his cutie mark!” Evening Storm: “What? Who? Who do you think-“ Daisy: “Brother don’t talk like that! Do you have any idea how long I’ve searched for you!? You HAVE to remember me!” (BROTHER!? I’m… That makes her… GAH MY HEAD!) Evening Storm: “Brother? Daisy I-“ Daisy: “It is you! You remembered my name! Oh Please remember the rest! Where have you been? Why did you leave?” Evening Storm: “I… I…” Daisy: “BROTHER!” Dust Storm: “STORMY!” Pinkie: “OH NO! Uh, sorry everypony, Evening Storm just fainted! We’ll update you on all this later!” Dust Storm's Diaries #1 Dust Storm: “Are you sure this is alright?” Pinkie Pie: “It’ll be fine. I doubt Stormy would care if you recorded your thoughts from time to time.” Dust Storm: “If you say so. So this thing will pick up our voices? Oh I see it’s doing that already.” Pinkie Pie: “Yeah, though it’s a bit harder to work without his magic connecting to it…” Dust Storm: “…How is he?” Pinkie Pie: “He… He still hasn’t woken up… Twilight doesn’t know what’s wrong.” Dust Storm: “I see…” Pinkie Pie: “Don’t worry! I’m sure he’ll be just fine! He’ll be awake before you know it!” Dust Storm: “I hope so.” Pinkie Pie: “Don’t worry. We won’t loose him. You won’t loose him. Twilight is certain of that!” Dust Storm: “What!? What do you mean by that! I- I just need him alive to change me… Back….” Pinkie Pie: “That’s not the truth.” Dust Storm: “Okay no, but I… I just can’t…” Pinkie Pie: “I understand. Anyway, give an update or something. I’m going to go talk to Twilight. We still need to figure out if what Daisy is saying is true or not.” Dust Storm: “Y-yeah… Okay…” Dust Storm: “So uh… H-Hey everypony. The former Stallion Dust Storm here. Still… Still suck as a mare…” Dust Storm: “I understand that old Stormy has been using this laptop to update a tumblr on the pony net. Seems a lot of ponies are doing that now a days. Even Captain Aquilinus has one!” Dust Storm: “I never really met the Captain much, but I did serve in his guard unit. Least till YOU KNOW WHO turned my life upside down!” Dust Storm: “I don’t know where he came from, but I remember first seeing him in the library reading up on spell books. He’d do it for hours on end. I’m not sure what bugged me about him at first. He just seemed… Different in an odd way…” Dust Storm: “Then… Then there was the spell casting. I don’t know WHY more ponies didn’t complain, but he was always botching those damn spells of his! I tried to bring it up to the Captain once, but he was too busy with other things. I didn’t think the muck ups of one little unicorn warranted his attention. So I sorta took the job of monitoring him myself.” Dust Storm: “What a trouble maker! The wagon, the random fires. Especially the fires. Every time it seemed he tried to do something that involved casting a spell on himself, he’d set himself on fire and run down the hall screaming bloody murder.” Dust Storm: “It… It was kinda funny after a while actually… Good thing he seems resistant to fire!” Dust Storm: “No matter how many times he failed… He kept trying. This was the main factor in my irritation. He’d cause so much trouble by trying to learn magic, and I’d have to clean up the mess! No matter how many times I tried to stop him, no matter how many times he set himself on fire. He’d always try again, and again, AND AGAIN!” Dust Storm: “Then… Then came the day he turned me into a mare… That was the final straw! I was laughed at by my fellow guards! I’m only glad that Captain Aquilinus didn’t seem to notice! I asked all sorts of ponies to help me out. Even that Paracelsus, and boy is he ever weird! But in the end not even the Princess could help me. That’s why she sent me to Twilight Sparkle, and well… I think you know how that’s gone.” Dust Storm: “Everything in my life has been thrown into chaos since I met that damn Evening Storm! So why….” Dust Storm: “Why can’t I hate him?” Dust Storm: “… I’m sorry… I- I don’t know what’s going on with me right now…” Dust Storm: “Sto- We don’t know when Evening Storm will wake up, so in the mean time I’ll answer any questions you might have. Since I’m stuck doing the updates for now, feel free to ask me anything. It’ll… It’ll give me something to do I suppose…” * * * PonyJames: Hey Dust Storm, can you tell us what Daisy said about Evening Storm? dark-shadowsky Dust Storm: “What do you mean? You all read it in the last update before Stormy… Dropped…” Dust Storm: “She called him her brother. Says there isn’t any mistaking it. She actually had a picture. Said it was taken just before they got their cutie marks.” Dust Storm: “The colt in that picture with the filly her… He looks EXACTLY like Stormy did when he was turned into a colt yesterday… Twilight says she’s going to find out for certain, but I don’t know what she has in mind…” Dust Storm: “We haven’t been able to get anything else out of Daisy since. She’s been too worried over her ‘brother’ “ * * * PonyJames: I see. I thought that she might have said more, but it seems to not be the case. Well, um... I not trying to get you angry or anything, but what would be the worse thing about being a mare for you? dark-shadowsky Dust Storm: “The unfamiliar body! You spend your entire life as a stallion then BOOM you’re a mare! How am I suppose to feel about this? I hate it!” Dust Storm: “I lost the respect of my fellow guards, laughed at by the canterlot staff, and I keep getting these weird ‘tingles’ whenever I’m around certain ponies. It’s especially noticeable when I’m by Evening Storm! The damn colt that started all this! The worst time was when I saw him get out of the shower yesterday! He was all soaked in water, his mane… And the way he… uh…” Dust Storm: “What?! How did this thing kn- I mean N-no they didn’t! The laptop is lying! LYING!” Dust Storm: “N-Next question!” * * * *Note from Dust Storm: I'm not sure what this next thing is everypony. Twilight and I found it saved in the Travel Logs when we transferred this over here. We'd ask Stormy if he minded, but he's still a bit shaken. In the end we decided it might be important... %*&(%&^%$&^$&^$&^$&^**(*()()(^%##@@ What?… What’s going on? Where am I? ????: So We meet again… Y-You! What do you want!? ????: We thought you might have questions… W-we? ????: Nevermind. Do you have an inquiry for me Dear Evening Storm? Did you bring me here? ????: That’s not what you really want to ask. What do you mean?! Of course it is! ????: Why ask? Don’t you know the answer? Y-you did! ????: Are you sure? I… I… ????: It bothers you doesn’t it? What that mare said. Does it… ‘Tickle’ your mind? It’s not true is it? ????: How would I know? You’re the White Alicorn! I’m pretty sure you know everything! ????: White Alicorn? How cruel! You don’t even know my name… Then what is your name? ????: Figure it out. GAH! Why are you even bothering me?! ????: Why that’s simple My -Little- Pony. You interest me. You interest me very VERY much… Why? ????: All in due time seedling… All in due time… * * * Hey Dust Storm, are female soldiers common in the royal guard? And if you can't turn back for a long time, do you plan on going back to your job as a mare or getting a different job? rainev1 Dust Storm: “Actually there are several mares in the Royal Guard. So I suppose if I went back it wouldn’t be a problem for me to stay in the Royal Guard.” Dust Storm: “Though I’m sure if Captain Aquilinus saw me like this, he’d most certainly hit on me… That’s a rather scary thought…” Dust Storm: “As for the rest of your inquiry, I don’t want to think about being STUCK like this for a long time… I can’t remain a mare, that’s not what I’m suppose to be! I’m going to become a Stallion again!” Dust Storm: “I mean I really… Really don’t like… Being like this… I don’t…” * * * Hello Miss Dust Storm, I have a question for you. Would you care to share the story of how you got your cutie mark? runesigilsign Dust Storm: “Ah, that takes me back actually… I… I suppose it’ll be alright to share the story. J-Just don’t go spreading it around okay!?” Dust Storm: “It’s actually thanks to my mother that I found my special talent. It’s thanks to her that I joined the Royal Guard. She is a Lieutenant actually! Lieutenant Snow Fury, one of the quickest and more agile Pegasus Guards there is! I use to watch her all the time growing up. The moves she could pull off were amazing! I had wanted to be just like her when I flew!” Dust Storm: “Sadly I seemed to lack the agility she had. I could never pull off her stunts…” Dust Storm: “There was one that she did that I was always impressed by. She called it the Blizzard Twist. She’d spin her body like a drill in order to plow a path through the snow. Allowing the ground troops to advance more quickly. There were other uses for it that she’d utilize, but the point was that I found THAT move to be the coolest!” Dust Storm: “I tried to emulate it so many times, but I lacked the talent I suppose. Whatever my mom had that let her do that, I didn’t possess it. I did possess the speed though. I dare say I might be able to go faster then her.” Dust Storm: “Well as usual being a Colt raised by only their mother, uh… Yeah I sorta didn’t know my father… Anyway, being that as it was, some of the other colts would tease me from time to time. It was a particularly bad day of teasing when I learned my talent.” Dust Storm: “I had been trying to ignore them, but one of them decided it’d be funny to throw a rock at me. Hit me square in the head. That sucker HURT.” Dust Storm: “Now don’t get me wrong. My mom may have been in the Royal Guard, but she didn’t ENJOY violence. Something I inherited from her. However, I had enough of those troublemakers. I needed to do something.” Dust Storm: “From what I know of being told. I use to like to play in the dirt a lot when a foal. Was told I kicked up all sorts of Dust, kinda funny given my name. Anyway I don’t know WHY I thought about that just then, but I did. I took off away from them like a comet. At first they began to make fun of me for running, till I came back. I couldn’t do the drill spin my mom could do, but I could spin my entire body in a three Sixty spin. So I did, kicking up quite the ‘Dust Storm’ in the process.” Dust Storm: “Heh, I was through there so fast, and kicked up such a smoke screen they didn’t know what hit them. They ended up crashing into each other in an attempt to get me. I felt rather proud of myself to be honest. Course I felt even better when I saw this cutie mark here appear shortly afterward.” Dust Storm: “So there you have it. Sorry if it’s long winded. But it was great to remember. I actually still attempt some of my mother’s moves from time to time. Oh what was that one she would do just to show off? It was a sort of backflip, twist deal. She’d basically backflip and twist her body into a drill spin while she did it. I must have practiced it hundreds of times. Never did get it right.” Dust Storm: “How far did I get? Let’s see, position yourself like this… Hunch down like this… Then FLIP like this while twisting your body!” Dust Storm: “And I’d always land on my side instead of… My…Hooves… I landed on my hooves! I LANDED ON MY HOOVES! I DID IT! I DID THE MOVE! OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH!” Spike: “Dust Storm! Dust Storm! He woke up!” Dust Storm: “I- What… Who?” Spike: “Evening Storm! He’s awake!” Dust Storm: “Oh gosh! Uh, sorry everypony. I think I’d better go take his labtop to him. I have a feeling we’ll need it for the questions to come. Later!” Evening Storm's Travels #17 Evening Storm: “Where… What’s going on?” Daisy: “Brother? Brother are you okay!?” Dust Storm: “Back off! You’re the reason he fainted in the first place!” Daisy: “B-but…” Twilight Sparkle: “That’s enough! Everypony back! He shouldn’t be stressed at this point.” (I fainted? Yes… Yes I remember… Daisy… She said… Then I… Ugh… My head still hurts…) Evening Storm: “What… What happened to me?” Twilight Sparkle: “We don’t know, you just passed out after Daisy claimed you were her brother.” Daisy: “But he IS” Twilight Sparkle: “I know! I saw the picture too! But we can’t just jump to those conclusions!” Evening Storm: “Picture?” Dust Storm: “Yeah… She… She has a picture of you when you were little. The two of you together playing by a pool. The colt… Well he looks just like you. Minus the cutie mark.” Evening Storm: “What? Really?” Twilight Sparkle: “I’m running some tests on the photo now. I’ll be able to tell if it’s be doctored at all.” Daisy: “I wouldn’t do that! I’m telling the truth!” Dust Storm: “We can’t just take YOUR word for it!” Daisy: “What’s it to you? What relationship are YOU to MY brother?!” Dust Storm: “Re-relationship?! I-I” Twilight Sparkle: “Enough! No arguing in the hospital!” Daisy and Dust Storm: “Sorry…” (Why… Why do I feel so weird? So… Nostalgic? I know who Daisy is of course, but her brother? I’m a human aren’t I? There is no way I’m her brother!) Evening Storm: “Daisy…” Daisy: “Yes Brother?” Evening Storm: “That’s just it Daisy. I can’t be your brother.” Daisy: “Stop saying that! You knew my name remember?” Evening Storm: “Daisy, Lily called you BY name when you entered the shop!” Daisy: “O-okay but still you are him! I know it!” Evening Storm: “But that CAN’T be right. I’m certain of one thing in my past, and from where I came, I had no sister!” Daisy: “… You really don’t remember do you?” Evening Storm: “I’m sorry… But it’s because there is nothing to remember…” Daisy: “No… Please don’t tell me that… I’ve searched for so many years. Ever since that day you vanished. Mom and Dad are gone… My brother… You were the last hope I had for family. I didn’t want to believe you were dead as well… When there was no body…” Dust Storm: “Maybe we should go…” Twilight Sparkle: “Good idea. We’ll… We’ll let you two sort this out. I’ll go check on the photo…” Evening Storm: “R-right…” Daisy: “I don’t care what you say. You ARE my brother. You’re name alone proves that!” Evening Storm: “My name?” Daisy: “I’m not stupid you know. I checked with your friends on your name. Evening Storm. That IS my brother’s name. You have that name. You look just like him. You ARE him brother!” Evening Storm: “Daisy stop! I told you I can’t be him!” Daisy: “And why not?” Evening Storm: “Because I”m not FROM here! I can’t explain it, but I just know!” Daisy: “I know you aren’t from here! We BOTH came from Trottingham years ago!” Evening Storm: “That’s not what I meant!” Daisy: “Then what DO you mean?” Evening Storm: “It’s like I’m from another world okay? I can’t explain it better then that!” Daisy: “You expect me to accept that? Why don’t YOU just accept you’re my brother!?” Evening Storm: “ARRRG! You just won’t give up will you!?” Daisy: “On my only brother!? Of course not!” Evening Storm: “You are so stubborn Daisy! This is exactly why you kept getting in trouble with bullies when younger! You’d never just leave them be!” Daisy: “Well what was I suppose to do? Let them push me around? Besides, you were always there to get my back!” Evening Storm: “Yeah till I apparently dissa… peared… Wait a minute…” Daisy: “I see you finally remembered something brother… Arguing with you till I’m nearly out of breath always was the only way to get through that thick skull of yours.” (She’s… She’s smiling… That look… So nostalgic… But… But this feeling… That memory… I’m… Human aren’t I? I WAS A HUMAN RIGHT!?) Evening Storm: “What… I… Sister? I… I remember having… A sister?” Daisy: “Oh thank Celestia… Oh brother I’m so glad you remember me… I… I…” Evening Storm: “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAG!” Daisy: “BROTHER!” Evening Storm: “S-sorry, just a random headache… Can… Can I have a moment alone?” Daisy: “But-“ Evening Storm: “I’ll be fine. I won’t try to run or anything. I… I just need some time to think… Okay?” Daisy: “You… You sure? I just got you back. I can’t stand it… I couldn’t…” Evening Storm: “I promise. I have a duty here I can’t run away from. But I just can’t take this all in right now. Please… Sister…” Daisy: “Okay… But if you need anything, or I hear ANYTHING that causes concern I’m rushing back in here. I will NOT loose you again!” Evening Storm: “Don’t worry…” Daisy: “Don’t… Try not to take too long okay? I want to catch up… It’s… It’s been far to long…” (… I just nodded. I didn’t know what else to do… What’s going on? I… I really remember being a colt… I remember a small pink filly following me around… But… I’m from the human world. I was a HUMAN. How can I have memories of being a colt? … What’s happening to me?)
Travel Log 18 + Special NoteEvening Storm’s Travels #18 Hey guys… Evening Storm here… I’ve been going over my past logs. I’m glad they are still there. I was beginning to think maybe they’d have changed… Then again I’m not sure if I’d know they have changed… I… S-Shut up you stupid computer. Gah, it even typed out my mind stutter. This thing scares me sometimes. I’m sorry for that folks. I can barely keep my mind together right now. The images I’m seeing… Did you know my mother was a beautiful white pony? She was a lovely Pegasus with green hair. I think that’s where Daisy got her mane. Dad was a strong earth pony. He was a brilliant sapphire blue with a black mane. The exact opposite colors I have. How weird… I remember when my little Sister was born. Daisy was so cute as a foal. We all found it odd she was pink. But hey it happens sometimes. It was no more surprising then me being a unicorn after all… …Are you all asking me what I’m talking about? Because -I- am. I-I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I don’t know what is real anymore. I… Remember riding a bike. I remember playing Nintendo at a friends house. I can almost picture them so clearly. Yet, Yet I can also remember lifting my very first object with my magic. I remember Daisy getting lost in the hedge maze at Canterlot when just a wee filly. I spent hours searching for her. She was so happy to see me when I finally found her, that she wouldn’t let go of me for the rest of the night… Everything is blurring together. I feel like I’m loosing my mind. To be honest I was reading my past posts to keep myself occupied. I’m only writing this blog post to distract me from what is happening. What is happening… I don’t even know what that is. What IS happening!? Am I a human or a pony? I… I’m afraid guys. I want to remember who I am, but I know. I know what I want to be. I want to be what I am right now. A unicorn pony. I… I want Daisy to be my sister. But do I have the right? Do I have a choice? Is this the reality and my thoughts of my human life just a fantasy? I keep shivering. These thoughts… Am I loosing something important? Something precious? Daisy… A sister, My family. I don’t. I. I don’t want to be alone. No. I can’t sleep… I’m afraid… I’m afraid that when I wake up… I won’t be me anymore… Author's Note And well... That's it. This final log has been posted to the tumblr long ago, but I never got around to putting it here because I figured I'd write more, except I never did. I do apologize to those who liked this story, but these little snip its were me writing random stuff on my tumblr blog in an attempt to make a story. The problem? I lost interest. There was never any real planning for this, only vague ideas. A way for me to just write whatever as the mood struck me. Once I got to this point I decided I felt I wanted to re-invent Evening Storm's history and well, that's what I did. Will there ever be a story about his new history? I honestly don't know. I don't even really have an idea for why the White Alicorn would be around anymore. I just don't have any desire to continue this, and again I apologize to those who were looking forward to it's conclusion, but well. This is it folks. Sorry. :/ If you have any questions about the story or what 'may have been' feel free to ask in the comments. I'd be more then willing to answer them.
