Becoming Heartstrings

I found myself standing in a field of green that goes off in all directions. Looking around, I could see a few tree’s and felt a light breeze blowing through the meadow I found myself standing in. I also found myself back in my old human body, dressed in my standard blue oants, grey shirt and leather jacket.

“Where in the world am I?”

“Ponyville park!” Came a female voice from behind me.

“JESUS!” It’s a good thing I hadn’t drank anything recently or I think I would’ve just wet myself. I turned around quickly, and saw a certain mint green pony staring straight back at me with a huge grin on her face.  “What is it with people and sneaking up on me today?”

“Sorry Zeik, I didn’t do it on purpose.” She responded, rubbing the back of her head.

Likely story.

“Do you have any idea what’s going on right now? Why am I stuck in your body?” I’ll be honest, I was really confused as to what the hell was going on. Maybe I overdosed on some drug I didn’t even knew I took.

“We’re dreaming! Well, I’m dreaming anyway, I just put you in it. It’s called a lucid dream. Now, smile for a picture!” She pulled a camera stand out of nowhere and placed it next to her.  “Bon Bon is never going to believe any of this happened unless I get a good snapshot!” I assume she set the camera for a timer and came running over to me, grabbed one of hand and put that smile back on her face again.

*click*

The picture came out with her of course, standing next to me with my hand in her hooves. I however had the silliest look on my face. Probably had something to do with a pony in my dreams attempting to take pictures of me.

“Lyra, if we’re dreaming, that picture isn't real. How would you even give it to her? Also, what’s a lucid dream? I don’t think I’ve ever had one of those before.”

“Don’t you rain on my parade too Zeik. I’ll figure out how to make this work later. But with THIS-” She said, pulling out the picture of and her again. “I’ll be able to prove it to her! Human’s DO exist! And to think, she always laughed at me when I spent all those hours reading those old books.”

“You still didn’t answer my question! Why am I stuck in your body?” I was trying not to sound annoyed, but I wasn’t doing a very good job. She’s cute when she gets excited about something, but I was REALLY trying to get some answers from her.

Wait a minute. I’m sharing her body. Did I just call myself cute....?

“Oh that.” She placed a hoof on her chin in thought. “I have no idea!”

Great. She’s as clueless as me.

“Maybe we can go find whoever did this and get them to REVERSE IT! You know, like get them to put ME in YOUR body so I can control YOU and use your wonderfully beautiful HANDS!” She was staring at my hands the entire time she said that, with that big goofy grin from earlier back on her face again. Getting kinda creepy.

She placed the picture away in some imaginary pocket of nothingness and turned back to me. “Anyway Z, you shouldn’t try and use my magic without my help. That’s why it was so hard for you to get that lid open earlier.”

“Wait, that was you? Why did you drop the lid on our head?” I asked her. She started laughing at me, and replied.

“I thought it would be funny to be honest with you. I didn’t feel a thing. Your the the one driving my body, not me. The only thing I can still do is control the magic.” She said, tapping her horn. “You didn’t think you could learn magic in just a day did you? That kinda stuff takes years to learn how to do without blowing yourself up.”

“Um.... Kind of? I wouldn’t know, human’s can’t use magic.” Well that’s a downer. Here I thought I had actually accomplished something. NOPE. Turn’s out Lyra was just messing with me. Prolly helped me get that apple and seatbelt earlier as well.

I let out a sigh. “Ok, one more question.” Another one she dodged earlier, that is. “Do you have anything to do with the random outbursts?”

She ducked her head as soon as she heard the question. “I’m not really sure. I definitely remember saying those things, but I’m not sure how I did it.”

Before I got a chance to question her further, and try and make any logical sense out of what was happening to me, the entire world shook.

The grass plains of Ponyville park vanished out of my sight and into a brief darkness.

“Zeik for love of god, wake up!” My father shouted in my ear. I’m a bit of a heavy sleeper, so when it comes to waking me up, it can be more than a little difficult. I’m not sure how long he’d been trying, but that last one got my attention.

I just moaned rolled over. “Not now, give me five more minutes....”

*Smack*

“Ouch! Ok ok, I’m awake. What?”

“We’re about two hours out from the house and I’ve stopped for food at wendy’s. Do you wanna come in?”

I thought it over for a minute or two before I nodded my head in agreement. “I’m not really hungry, but I do need feel the need to get out and stretch my legs.”

I had a lot to think over anyway. If that dream was actually to be believed, that mean’s Lyra is very much in aware of my actions. I’d also have to somehow get her back for dropping that bucket lid on my head.

My father opened the door for me using those wonderful hands of his. I very carefully made my way out. I almost tripped on that last step anyway, despite my efforts. I never used to be this clumsy, but I guess thats what happens when you get thrown a curveball by god.

“You should really watch where you're going Z. You're going to end up getting yourself hurt. You feeling any better after that nap?” My father asked me.

If he only knew about the human obsessed pony that was screaming in my head right now, he’d understand. I’ll have to tell him eventually. Right now I was just trying to combat the headache she was giving me from all the questions.

“Lets just go inside so I can sit down.”

We walked to the over the front door of the establishment. I could already feel the eyes on me, from the random people. I could hear whispers of a few people as we entered the Wendy’s.

“Do me a favor and just get me some water, ok?” I asked my father. I felt really thirsty for some reason. Probably something to do with being a horse. Pony. I don’t really care anymore.

“Will do. Why don’t you go take a seat and I’ll take care of this?”

I didn’t wasn't about to argue with that. I slowly walked over to a opentable, waving at a few kids and adults alike who all had been giving me odd looks. Not that I can blame them. I think I’d be just as weirded out if a pony walked into wal-mart one day.

I took a seat at the table and tried to mind my own business. Lyra was still yelling in my head though. That started after that silly dream.

“Why do I have a feeling like this is only the beginning?
