Feather Rose

I opened my eyes weakly. They both hurt terribly. I looked down and saw that my hooves weren't their usual light yellow. They were mint green. I tried standing up, but it hurt so much. I felt weak, just like I didn't wanna feel. I managed to get up. I looked around, it looked like my cottage, just more green. I directed to a mirror I saw . I looked at myself and gasped at what I saw.

I saw a light green pegasus with pink eyes and a curly orange mane. I looked at my flank, instead of butterflies for my cutie mark there was a upside down heart and three hearts on top making a paw. I galloped around to see if there where any animals.

"Hm..." I entered a room just next to the mirror. I saw a green room with a pink bed. There was a large rug and a dresser in front of the bed. On top of the dresser laid two hair brushes 3 books and 1 green book on the center. I walked over to the book and opened it to the first page.

"Feather Rose's Journal?" I said, realizing my voice was a lot more louder, raspy and light. I gasped. I remembered what happened on the well. Is this what Discord thought I meant by change?

"Lord...am I even in Ponyville anymore?" I asked myself. I decided to look for the answer by going out. I was happy to see that it was Ponyville. I sighed in relief. I hoped that everything stayed the same so I went over to Sugar Cube Corner. It looked exactly the same, phew. I entered the store, expecting Pinkie Pie to hop on me. Instead she was busy baking a pie.

"Hello?" I said.

"Oh! Hi Feather Rose!" Pinkie answered, stirring some batter.

"Hi.." I said, a bit unusually, loud and clear.

"Wanna help me make some," she grabbed a baked pie and pushed it in front of my face."pies?"

I smiled, at least the ponies I knew where still the same. I decided to go along with this for a while.

"Ok!" I said, proudly,"Let's bake some pies!"

_________________________________________________________________

Pinkie and I ended up making delicious pies, even though we got really dirty. After a shower, I decided to get to know my new cottage better, it was like mine, just a little different. I entered a new room, and finally saw some cute butterflies. They instantly saw me and flew in a circle around me. I flew up with them and giggled. Now this felt familiar.

"Have you seen any other animals?" I asked a butterfly that landed on my hoof. The butterfly nodded. It led me over to the back door of my cottage.

There were a lot of animals! It was already afternoon, so I decided to stay with the animals for a while, then visit my friends. I flew over too some birds who followed me as I descended, I still have my talent for animals!

Prologue

Nothing's ever fair anymore.. am I as weak as they say I am? I seriously nervous about this, but it might be the only way to get other ponies view of me to change. I don't wanna be weak and sensible. I want to be strong, confident and smart. Discord knows how to cause chaos..will he be able to change me?

_____________________________________________________________________________

The Everfree forest was much darker than I expected. There was a dim light in the distance between the trees. I followed it and it led me to the well, what I'd been looking for in the first place. I looked around, thinking I'd heard moaning. I took a deep breath and looked down.

"Discord...!" I called, hoping he would appear.

The draconequus popped up on front of me, looking quite satisfied.

"What brings you here?" he asked.

"I have a wish.." I looked up at him.

He chuckled, "Go on..."

"Change me please! I wanna be stronger and more affirmative!"

He glared at me for a moment and nodded, "You're completely sure this is what you want?No matter the consequences?"

I nodded sternly.

Discord smiled and snapped.
"Have a nice trip~!" He said.
In a moment, I was floating in darkness. My eyes hurt and my hooves were weak. I could barely keep my eyes from shutting. I groaned and tried moving. I felt frozen in place. Tears filled my eyes..not from the pain, but from what was happening. Discord often overdoes things, was this one of them?

"Fluttershy..." an airy voice called.

I shook my head and bit my lip. The pain spread everywhere and soon...my senses where gone and I didn't feel anything. I felt like I was underwater...but could somehow breathe. I couldn't see a thing. I tried to look around, I could hear hoofsteps for some reason. Next a laugh..then a cry and lastly..a ring. I felt..dead..or as if...I...didn't exist.

Author's Note

I know it's short! I promise it'll be longer next time. :twilightsheepish:

Pain of the Night

Late...an entire day of helping my friends. I was tired, and somehow...uncomfortable. I found this world amazing, but it just didn't feel right. At the end of the day, my entire body hurt. I could barely fly of stand up. It was like that black pain that got me here in the first place. I finally got to my bed and fell asleep immediately.

"Fluttershy."

"Fluttershy."

I groaned opening my eyes. I wasn't in Feather Rose's room. I was standing in a black place. There was a soft breeze come over me, which somehow brought pain everywhere on my body. I shut my eyes, not that it would make a difference from the darkness. Tears filled my eyes again, just like the pain filled my body. After a while, I allowed myself to open my eyes, but I was still in agony. I raised my hoof, which was back to being light yellow. I was back to being Fluttershy. I laid there, with pain surrounding me.

I don't know how long it took, but the pain went away. I looked around, I was still in the black space. I stood up and galloped to a corner of that space. It seemed like forever until I reached a wall. I tapped on it, and a large light pink circle appeared and disappeared. I tried to speak, but as soon as I tried, the pain came rushing back. I gasped and started crying. I can't believe being a new and improved mare meant being punished every single night....

Personality

Feeling a lot more confident, I wanted to see how others saw me. I woke up sweating from the pain last night. I shook it off, which took me a while. Once I finally got out of my cottage, I trotted over to Sweet Apple Acres. Applejack was bucking apples as usual.

"Um.." I took a deep breath, "AJ!".

Applejack missed the tree and fell. "Ouch.." she groaned, as an apple hit her head.

"Oops! I'm so sorry!" I flew over to where she was, "I didn't mean startle you!"

Applejack got back on her hooves and chuckled, "It's fine Feather Rose."

"Um..I wanted to ask you a question." I mumbled.

"Yeah?"

"Um...how would you describe my personality?"

"That's easy!" she answered, "Outgoing, fun, adventurous and kind!"

I gasped. Except the last part, everything else was the opposite of Fluttershy! I continued to ask ponies about my personality and here's what I got.

Pinkie Pie: Fun, quick, brave and kind!

Twilight Sparkle: Organized, funny, kind and brave!

Rainbow Dash: Cool, fun, outgoing and kind.

Rarity: Kind, fashionable and fun.

I was amazed at how they described me. So, I decided to figure out if Feather Rose is actually all of these. After a lot of tries to be adventurous, turns out I was! Going to a bears cave was worth it. That counted as outgoing too. Then I did 'quick', I stood at the edge of the back of my cottage and timed myself on how fast I could fly to a distant cloud. It was 7.6 seconds! Organized, check.
Brave, check.
Fashionable, um... check?
Cool, I guess check?
Now, fun which I've heard many times. I tried my best to entertain my animals and surprisingly, worked!

Hm...I'm starting to like being Feather Rose.
