Life of a human turned dragon in Ponyville

3'rd Person POV, Group Leaving Hunter's House.

After leaving hunters house the group of seven ponies and one dragon make start making their way towards the edge of the clearing, on their way Twilight's face seems to portray confusion more than anything else, and after entering the Everfree somepony decides now would be a good time to question it.

"Yall seem to be thinking mighty fierce Twilight, got something you want to share with us?" Asked Big Mac while glancing to Twilight, before returning his focus towards Fluttershy as she was leading the way back to where they entered the farm. Realizing, and giving some mental praise towards the butter yellow Pegasus's skills of direction within the unnatural forest.

Twilight's ears perked up at that, while the rest of the group cast her a quick glance before watching the path ahead of them as well. Thinking for a moment twilight decided to let her thoughts known. "Well, to be honest, and don't take this the wrong way, especially you Spike. I'm thinking that Hunter is anything but your run of the mill drake. Honestly, from the few books available on dragons and their tendencies, plus Princess Celestia's personal notes on the dragon ambassadors from a few hundred years ago, dragons are short tempered, and extremely territorial. And before you say that their tendencies changed over the years, recently I've noticed some of those tendencies in you Spike, so I'm thinking that its more of an instinctual thing rather than a life style choice. So, the fact is, that while I am immensely overjoyed at how things worked out in the end, if Hunter was anything like a normal dragon, then we wouldn't be standing here unscathed right now."

After finishing that statement everypony stopped, turning to stare wide eyed at the lavender unicorn. "So, what are you implying Twilight?" Asked Spike who was a little shaken up at what he had just heard. Taking a few moments to gather her thoughts Twilight replied. "Well, I don't know for sure, but considering how different he responded compared to what I expected I would say that at the very least he's weird, and that's not even considering the fact that he was living in a house rather than a cave like other dragons, or all those weird things inside and around said house."

Everypony slowly nodded while restarting their trek, as they started pondering the events the day had brought every pony decided Twilight was right, there was definitely something strange about the guy. After exiting the forest with a about an hours worth of daylight left, everypony offered a quick goodnight before returning to their homes.

As Applejack and her brother made it to the farm Applejack decided to speak up about something that she had been wondering about. "Big Mac, was it just me, or did that dragon seem to have a little bit of a country accent " Applejack asked as they headed upstairs toward their rooms. Big Mac smiled and nodded "I'm pretty sure I heard it as well sis, It wasn't near as prominent as ours, but he definitely let one slip here and there." that made Applejack smile as well. Maybe there's hope for him yet.. both siblings thought before shutting their doors and getting ready for sleep.

Meanwhile Twilight and Spike were still walking back towards their relatively new home, which just so happened to be the town's library. "Uggh, I have too many questions and no answers, I guess I'll just have to get Hunter to answer a few questions during our visit tomorrow." Said twilight after mulling all her questions over a few times in her head. At that statement Spike frowned at her. "Whatever you do, don't make him one of your projects, we already had a rocky start, and I for one am not letting anything, or anypony get in the way of me getting to know another dragon." replied the the young dragon as they made it to the library "Don't worry Spike I wont go overboard, I owe it to him to at least respect his privacy. Now I think its time we get some sleep, I promised applejack we would help her at the farm tomorrow morning, something about wining a bet against her brother." Replied Twilight as they entered the library and headed to bed.

3'rd Person POV, The Next Morning, Canterlot Castle Throne Room.

Princess Celestia was sitting in her usual seat on the balcony off to the side of the main dining room, as she was sitting there sipping some tea while looking out over Equestria, she turned her head as she herd somepony approaching. "Luna, how are you this morning?" Celestia asked, only to receive a tired grunt from the midnight blue Allicorn who was still regaining her magic, her coat color had returned, however she hadn't regained her height , and her mane was still light blue and had yet to regain its ethereal flow. "I had hoped you could join me for breakfast this morning, chef made some wonderful pancakes, I don't think you've gotten the chance to try them yet, I'm sure you would love them." Celestia continued after failing to receive a response from her sister.

"We doth not know how being cooked in a pan versus a tin makes any difference as to how a cake tastes, but what we do know is that we are the princess of the night, and thou art the (yawn) princess of the day. We do not see the importance of interrupting our sleep in order to indulge in sweets and tea just to engage in idle conversation... however if thou couldst extradite the arrival of more of, what was it, ahh yes, if thou couldst procure some more of that coffee then we couldst be wide awake throughout throughout both day and night available to talk as long as thou wish." Replied the lunar sister while taking a seat beside Celestia who was choking on her tea.

"Cough Cough, oh, excuse me Luna. I have no clue as to what could be taking the usual shipment of coffee from Saddle Arabia so long to arrive. Perhaps I will send some guards to investigate the matter, by the way, you are still using the olden speak quite heavily. Have you started those speech classes we talked about?" Celestia calmly replied, desperately hoping to steer the conversation a different direction.

"Verily, please do dear sister. Unfortunately until our...my magic is replenished, we ..I will be unable to investigate the matter myself. As for the speech classes, yes I have. However, I am finding the matter of changing speech patterns quite difficult... Now, you mentioned something about cake? I know thou always had a love for deserts, but cake for breakfast? If thou art not careful thou might have to have a larger throne constructed." Luna finished nodding towards her sisters flank with a smirk.

"Luna!" Celestia exclaimed her cheeks flushing red. "Pancakes aren't actual cake, but a different type of breakfast food created a few hundred years ago... You, don't think I've gained weight... do you?" Celestia asked while glancing towards her flank before turning back to her sister, who had put on a thoughtful expression.

"Hmm, We.. I am not certain, however you do seem to be a little more, hmm how to put it.. plump than I remember." Luna replied with a straight face, though internally grinning wider than the rare Cheshire Cat. "Mayhaps thou shouldst consider cutting back on these 'not cake' pancakes, after all, thou only have 9 months until the Grand Galloping Gala, perhaps thou should try on thy Gala dress and make sure it does not need any altercations made." At that, Luna couldn't hold back her smirk, which caused Celestia to gain a smirk as well.

"Very funny Luna, you actually had me going there for a second. Speaking of the Gala I think I'll give Twilight two tickets, one for herself, and one for a friend." Said Celestia mentally deciding she should check her weight... and cut back one her daily slices of cake to just one. "I know she has at least five other close friends now, and I would gladly send her six tickets as they are the bearers of the elements, but my faithful student needs to learn that she can approach me for help when it comes to things like this."

"(Yawn) That seems to be an appropriate plan Tia, and I would love to continue out talk, but I believe I should go back to sleep, recovering magic is quit exhausting after all. Have a good day sister. Replied Luna as she stood up and walked toward s the balcony entrance stopping as Celestia said one last thing. "Sleep well sister, and might I suggest working on exchanging the use of thou for you, it would go a long way towards your speech practice." At that Luna turned and glared at Celestia who was taken by surprise by the look she was getting. "I have had this discussion many times with the speech tutor, and I will say it only one more time." Luna said darkly before growling out "You is a LETTER, not a WORD, and we doth not care how many times somepony tries to persuade us, we shalt not be changing that mannerism. Now, as I said. Have a good day dearest sister. Luna finished with a kind smile and a cheery voice before trotting into the castle presumably towards her bedchambers, leaving Celestia to ponder her words.

Well, suppose I should apologize towards the speech tutor, and see if I can get her to drop that mannerism for the time being. In the mean time I really need to finish enchanting Luna's mugs to remove any caffeine they come into contact with, I love my dear sister, but I don't think I... nor the guards could ever deal with ...THAT... again. Celestia shivered before getting up and heading towards her study to compose a message to send to her student, along with two golden tickets.

Hunter's POV

After waking up I briefly considered putting some clothes on, but seeing as everything was covered in scales I decided that while I was alone I would go natural. After that I decided I should check my head injury, so checking around the base of my left horn, I noticed that there wasn't any pain to be found, which was odd considering how much it hurt last night. Mentally thanking God that by some means I didn't understand I decided I should grab a shower. Heading downstairs I was greeted by Wolf who had decided last night that the living room rug would be his bed for the night. I still had no Idea why he refuses to sleep on the rug in my room, he even wanted to sleep outside in his house on the porch, but seeing as there were to many unknowns at the moment I decided he would be sleeping inside from here on out.

After grabbing a can of dogfood from the cabinet and emptying it into Wolf's bowl and filling up his water dish I headed towards the bathroom. After showering I grabbed a towel and dried myself off realizing that I had forgotten to brush my teeth yesterday I proceeded to do just that however before I started I looked in the mirror and something caught my eye. Opening my mouth wide I saw that while I definitely had four fangs where my canines used to be, my other frontal teeth had become sharper much like my canines used to be, however aside from being larger and slightly sharper the rest of my teeth seemed to be identical to how they were as a human.

After brushing my teeth and a few other things I decided that I should probably let Wolf out before making breakfast. Walking towards the front door I whistled, hearing his nails clacking on the wood I briefly thought about trimming them, but decided against it, seeing as they might come to his aid against any predators that might attack. I didn't want him to be defenseless after all. Letting him out I decided to leave the door open seeing as it was a nice temperature outside and there was a nice breeze blowing.

After Deciding that breakfast today would be bacon and eggs with toast I got everything together and started cooking, after popping some toast in the toaster I grabbed an open package of thick-sliced Applewood bacon and placed four slices on a skillet which I had already melted a bit of butter on. Once the bacon was almost done I added two eggs to the other side of the skillet, after the eggs were scrambled I turned of the power and sliding everything onto a plate I grabbed the two pieces of toast and slathered them with apple butter. Before eating I grabbed a bottle of A1 Steak Sauce and drizzled a tiny bit on my eggs.(don't judge before you try it) After eating and washing the dishes I decided I should do something productive while I waited for Spike and Twilight to arrive, after thinking for awhile I decided there was something I needed to learn.

"Well, I guess I shouldn't put it off any longer." I said as I Stood up and went to a quadrupedal stance, now while different when compared to how I as a human It wasn't uncomfortable, honestly the weirdest thing was how easy it was, I mean I was basically standing like a dog, and my body just seemed to transition from one stance to the other without any issues.

As I started walking I stumbled around quite a bit, I was fine moving one limb at a time, but that made for an extremely slow pace and I knew I wanted to be walking at normal speed by the end of the day. Closing my eyes I tried to remember how Wolf walked, after getting a clear image in my head I opened my eyes and started practicing for about an hour while mentally calling out my actions.

left front, left back, right front right back I thought while slowly picking up the pace until I was confidently walking at a normal pace. realizing I couldn't get much faster while using the current pattern I stopped and thought some more. After determining the best option was to learn how to trot I repeated how I had just learned to walk.

front/rear, right/left I thought simultaneously and after stumbling a few times I realized that I would only be able to do this at a faster pace. After picking up speed I was able to keep my balance as I was oscillating which pair of limbs were on the ground while the others were in the process of taking the step. After finishing my quadrupedal training, which took about two and a half hours, I realized that it was about lunch time. Continuing to walk on all fours I peaked my head out the door and saw that Wolf was asleep, resting in the sunlight. So, realizing I was hungry I decided to microwave the extra trout from yesterday.

After lunch and realizing that Twilight could come by any time now, I decided that I wasn't ready to go native just yet, so heading up to my room I got dressed in some long black cargo shorts and a black t-shirt as well. Opening my window so I could hear anyone approaching I laid down on my bed trying to decide how I would tell Twilight and spike about my predicament, after thinking awhile on the matter I decided I would ask what her thoughts were on the possibility of multiple realities/dimensions/whatever. Now that that I had decided my course of actions I decided that it was time to relax a little bit, so, turning the volume down on my TV so no-one would be able to hear it I powered on my Switch and proceeded to play for the next couple of hours while waiting for my visitors arrive.

After playing my switch for about three hours I went downstairs to check on Wolf. Seeing that he had moved into the shade of the house I decided he was fine and let him continue to rest, besides I had something else that I wanted to do. Heading back upstairs I stopped at the room I had dubbed as my music room, after playing for about two hours on all the instrument's I was happy that my draconic transformation hadn't hindered my ability to play guitar or any of my other stringed instruments, in fact, having claws just removed the need for a pick. pulling my phone out I saw that it was almost six and that the sun was starting to set behind one of the mountains, the sky darkened pretty quickly after that. Deciding that something must have happened to keep twilight and spike from coming over today I decided that I would stay up a few more hours playing some more games while making some more decisions on what I would do tomorrow.

Realizing that the tree line was to dense for me to drive any of my vehicles outside of the clearing I decided on what my first order of business would be for the next day.

"Well, look's like I'll need to oil up my chain saw..."
