A Life of Shy

The entire group looked at Discord with disgust.

“What?” Discord asked.

“I’m not even going to begin to wonder why you think it’s a good idea to open multidimensional portals!” Twilight exclaimed.

“Fluttershy needed my help, so I went out of my way to help a friend in need. You know what they say; a friend in need is a friend indeed!”

“You understand you could’ve brought a threat to Equestria?!” Starlight said angrily.

“Oh please, you act like there are no threats here to begin with,” Discord said.

“He’s got a good point,” Pinkie confirmed.

“Shut up Pinkie,” Rainbow Dash said.

“See? Even she knows!” Discord said sarcastically.

“Alright Discord, so answer me this then,” Twilight said. “How many of these ‘portals’ did you actually open up?”

“Just that one. I have no reason to cause Chaos here in Equestria. I’ve retired.”

“And the lie detector determined, that was a lie,” Applejack said.

“No I mean it! I did not open any more portals!”

“I was referring to the retiring from chaos statement, idiot!” Applejack said.

“Wow, harsh name-calling, but yeah you’re right. I can’t retire from the one thing I love to do.”

“Why are you even here?” Twilight asked. “Don’t you have better things to do?”

“I’m wherever I want to be. I heard my name and immediately came here to see what’s going on. All I did was help dear Fluttershy with one simple task. If you don’t believe me, then don’t. But since you don’t want me here, I’ll be going.” Discord snapped his talon-like fingers then poofed away.

“Something tells me not to trust Discord,” Starlight claimed.

“I don’t know,” said Rainbow Dash. “Discord doesn’t seem to want any involvement in this. Maybe he isn’t as bad as we make him out to be.”

“You might be right, but for now, we need to see what to do about Michael here,” said Starlight. “He doesn’t seem to be much of a threat or issue, however, we can’t have some random–uh, what are you again?”

“I’m a human.”

“Yeah,” acknowledge Twilight. “We can’t have a human walking around Equestria. You need a disguise or something.”

“Could you just transform me into something else?”

“I could try. I don’t know if my shape shift spell works on humans,” Twilight said with uncertainty.

“Well I guess it doesn’t hurt to try,” I suggested.

“Alright, let’s give it a shot,” Twilight said. Her horn started to illuminate. She focused and concentrated. Everypony around her stood clear. As soon as they cleared the area, Twilight released all her magic onto me as a beam of light shot in my direction. I began to glow. A flash bang of light blinded me for a few seconds. As the light cleared up, I saw the group staring at me in shock.

“Well, did it work?” I asked.

“See for yourself,” Rarity said, levitating a mirror in front of me. I saw in the mirror a green-colored fox with green hair, white going down half my face and down my stomach, a green tail with black and white stripes. I looked down and see my green paws.

Holy crap! I’m my fursona! Everypony around is seeing how happy I was. All of them are smiling, all happy for me.

“I can’t believe that it worked!” Twilight exclaimed in disbelief.

“I’m so happy!”

“Well, how do you feel?” asked Twilight.

“I feel wonderful!” I said excitingly.

“You look wonderful,” said Fluttershy. “And honestly really cute.” I blushed. Fluttershy giggled.

It was dark in the radiology room. They had me inside the MRI scanner. Doctor Richard is standing behind the computer monitor, the technician doing his job to give Richard the best results to work with.

Carefully studying the monitor, Richard is cautiously identifying the problem. After some watching, he noticed it.

“There it is,” Richard pointed out to the technician.

“Looks like internal bleeding caused by the head injury,” the technician noted. “It looks like an extremely small fragment of bone was missed, enough to cause internal bleeding.”

“That would explain the seizure he had,” Richard said. “I’ve seen enough, shut the machine down and send the imagery to his chart.

“Yes sir,” the technician said. Shortly after that was said, I had another seizure on the MRI table.

“Shit!” Doctor Richard said. “Call code blue now!”

An earthquake shook in the area, the second one that night, except this one was of a heavier magnitude. The first earthquake was so light it was undetected. Books fell in the castle, falling on everyone in there.

“Is everypony okay?” Twilight asked, receiving a few groans in response.

“Where did that come from?” Rainbow dash asked in concern.

“Had to have been an earthquake,” said Applejack. “We hadn’t had one of dem in ah long time though.”

“Do you think it had something to do with Discord or that portal?” I asked.

“I don’t know, Twilight said, worried. “It’s possible.”

“Best we stay on guard. Be careful going home everypony,” said Starlight. Everypony started heading out. I stuck with Fluttershy. I realized before I left the room that I forgot to ask her something. I turned around to face Twilight.

“Hey Twilight. Before I go, do you happen to have a book called the Bible?”
