"THIS IS THE FIFTH TIME THIS MONTH I'VE COME IN HERE AND YOU'VE GOTTEN MY ORDER WRONG"
Back at home. There's nothing like it after a hard days work and after yelling at random cashiers, only my brothers home at the moment as my parents are away on a holiday in Bali for the next 14 days.
After Dinner my brother went to his room to play DOTA with his friends online, while I stayed up and finished writing up my histories for the day
Wagnesday
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"I even turn into a pony?! I don't want to be Cherilee!! She sucks! Why couldn't I turn into someone cool like Rainbow Dash or Cadence?" Now, free from the trap that is his sheets, Alex then tries to stand up. While he's doing this, his face pulls into different positions, showing his anguish. Upon finally standing up and wobbling a bit, he tries to take a step forward and then falls, embarrassingly, on his face again.
As I place him on the table, Alex gives me a weird look and says, "You do know chairs are for sitting, and tables are for eating, right?"
After Breakfast, I look at the clock. It's 8:00am. SHIT!! I'm going to be late for work. I quickly run to my room and get changed for work. I run back out to the kitchen. Alex asks, "What are you running for?"
On my drive to work I decide to listen to the radio to see if there was any new information about this pony phenomenon.
{}{}{}{}{}
After work I decided to go to the markets to buy Alex some fruits and vegetables. When I got home, I couldn't believe my eyes.
Two hours Later
"Wow, I didn't know something as small as you could make a mess that big!" I say sarcastically
So after tidying up after dinner, I decided to do what I normally do at this time. No it's not that. It's PONY TIME. I'm obsessed with My little pony. I've seen all the episodes. I've seen the parodies, and I read a lot of fanfic's. You could say I'm addicted. After several hours of reading I looked over at my clock and saw that it said it was 2:30am.

Alex's POV
Wagnesday 8:00am Perth, Australia
So Tim's just run off to work and left me here by myself today. ‘Okay’ I thought to myself, lets see what Tim's left for me. Wow glasses of water that's very nice of him I thought, sarcastically. How the hell am I supposed to pick them up with hooves? He also left me chips and fruit bars, neither of which can be easily opened with hooves. He also left me the phone, the remote and a pen. 'How the hell am I suppose to use any of these things, and why a pen but no paper?'
Tick, Tick, Tick
"Ohhhhhh" I say after a moment of thought, hitting my face with my hoof. Now I get it, I use the pen to press the buttons on the remote and phone. God I'm thick sometimes. Ok, now that I've figured out how to use the remote, time to watch some TV. I try to grab the remote in order to aim it at the TV, but the remote falls down in between the couch cushions. Great! Of course it falls between the cushions! I try reaching for the remote from the couch, but my arms are now too short to reach the remote, 'Fine, I don't need to watch TV! I can keep myself entertained.'
1 Minute and 30 Seconds Later
'Ok I'm bored now.' I think, still staring at the powerless TV. I jump off the couch and immediately fall flat on my face. 'This is happening way too often today.' I try to stand back up but have little success, 'Standing up should not be this difficult' giving up on the idea of walking properly, I then crawl over to the couch and start digging under the cushions for the remote.

Wagnesday 12:30pm Perth, Australia
*Grugurgrpgurrghghghg My stomach complains loudly.
I stare at the batteries for a while before deciding there is really no way for me to put them back in. Back to my most recent issue, chips a meal does not make. Before I go to the fridge to get food I probably should listen to Tim’s advice and learn to walk
1 hour later
“Yes, I have Finally mastered the art of walking as a Pony” I say to myself ,I don’t know whether I should be happy about this or sad that I’m so happy about finally being able to do this supposed simple task.*Grugurgrpgurrghghghg “hehehe I forgot the reason I was learning to walk, to the kitchen”
I decide to take a bath instead of a shower as there is no way as I am can I reach the taps in the shower in this body. I walk over to the bath and put the plug in and turn the knobs with both my hooves to start the water. Then I lay back and relax as the warm water washes over me.
I take a seat on the couch and think about what I should do know. I can’t watch TV as I’ve broken the remote, I can’t eat anything as I’ve broken all the food in the fridge, so what can I do.
*Ping
30 minutes Later
“Why God why, I want to be able to play Dota” I cry to myself
30 more minutes Later
“What have I done to deserve this I just want to play Dota with my friends is that to much to ask” I continue crying into my hooves “NO! I’m better than this, I will no longer cry over this game” Ithen hear the garage door opening, Tim must be home, I walk out into the lounge room and see the massive mess everywhere ‘oh shit, Tim’s going to go ballistic when he see’s this’ I then do the only sensible thing you can do in this situation, I run and hide under my bed. ‘What I’m I” I think to myself ‘Am I a man or a mouse’ I look at myself ‘well technically I’m not a man anymore but that’s beside the point I should man up to what I’ve done Tim won’t be that angry, will he?’
“ALEX” I hear Tim yell. I gulp and walk into the Kitchen as casually as I can “I might have had a little accident” I say to Tim. Tim just sighs and walk over to the mess and starts cleaning.
2 hours later
‘Yeah’ we finally finished cleaning up the mess and by we I mean Tim, for some reason he didn’t exactly trust me when it came to cleaning up the mess.
I'm now sitting at a desk in a classroom, I start looking around to see where I am, I then realise that I recognise the classroom I'm in. This is my classroom from when I was in primary school, what am I doing here? I try to stand up but I feel as if I've been glued to the seat. I look down to see what the problem is and see that I'm back in my human body. "Yes! I'm human again I've got hands..." I say while rubbing my hands together "I'm a man again and most importantly I've got my beard back" I start rubbing my beard affectionately with both my hands. “Ehem” I look over to where the sound came from. Standing in front of me is Cherilee "If you have finished fondling your beard Alex, we need to have a serious talk"
Threesday 8:30 am Perth, Australia
I’m laying in my bed thinking about all the things I can do to make Alex’s life a little more difficult, when I suddenly get a thought that I could have turned into a pony overnight, I then try to wiggle my fingers which works, eeyup definitely not a pony. I roll over onto my side but as I roll I feel some resistance in turning my head as if I’m wearing something on my head. Dammit Alex probably put something on my head just to get back at me for yesterday. I reach up to remove whatever Alex has place on my head. I try to pull it off but it feels as if whatever it is, is attached to my head.
“Dammit Alex” I say.
Wait, My eye open wide, that wasn’t my voice. I sit up in my bed and throw off the sheets to look at my body, instead of seeing my normal body or the body of a pony I saw that I was now covered in blue fur and that my feet had turned into hooves. I brought my hand up to my head to get a better feel of what was on my head. I had the same thing on both sides of my head I then realised that they were both horns. Two horns, blue fur, hooves for feet but still had hands ‘Oh my god’ I thought, ‘I’ve turned into Iron Will.’
“Okay, Okay” I say to calm myself “This is just a dream, yeah a dream I’m now going to pinch myself and wake up”
“OWW, ok definitely not a dream. I look down at my new body ‘Ok I’ve turned into Iron Will I guess it could be worse I’m at least the same height, I’ve got hands, I’m actually more muscular... wait what was I saying again. Oh yeah beside looking slightly different this transformation is awesome I can pretty much do everything I could before plus more. Oh I have got to rub this in Alex’s face’
I roll to the side of the bed and prepare to stand up. ‘How hard can it be, I already know how to walk on two legs and I’m not as stupid as Alex who had difficulty standing on four legs, Really! how hard is it to figure out how to stand and walk on four legs’
I place both my feet/hooves on the floor and stand up “Ha! this isn’t that difficult, wait why is the bookshelf coming closer?”
*CRASH
I fall into the bookshelf head first causing all the selves to break and in a cartoon fashion every book to hit me in the head individually.
“Okay, maybe this standing thing is a little bit harder than it looks.” I mutter to myself
I try to stand up using what’s left of my bookshelf and my bed to help support me. Once I’m up again I try to see if I can stand on my own, I wobble a bit and flail my arms in the air but I finally manage to get my balance. For those of you who haven’t turned into a Minotaur before trying to stand on these legs is like standing on a pair of stilts, not in the way that you have more height but in the way that the area that touches the ground is so small.
15 minutes later
“Oh Yeah” I cheered as I practiced walking around my room ‘I have now mastered the art of walking and all it took was 15 minutes and me breaking half of the stuff in my room” I look around my room at the mess I have made in just learning to walk. My bookshelf is broken, my lamp smashed and the light fitting smashed (Let me tell you, Horns add to your height and if you’re not used to them you will hit low hanging objects)
I walk to the door and grab the handle and the handle then breaks off in my hand “You have got to be kidding me” I yell at the door. I look at the door and then at the broken handle, how am I suppose to get out now. I then get an idea, I throw the handle away and it causes something else to break in my room, I back away from the door “Well there’s more than one way to open a door” I lower my head and charge at the door.
*CRASH
I go straight through the door “Ha no door is a match for the Mighty Iron Will” I then collide with the wall “Ergh” I complain, as I try to pull my head from the wall, but my horns are stuck. I keep trying to pull my head out but to no prevail so I use both my arms and one leg to give it one last push. Success my head is now freed from the wall but I have now lost my balance and I fall back through my broken door. ‘Note to self no more running through doors or into walls’
I get up and look around at the mess I’ve created ‘Man I’m almost as bad as Alex was yesterday’
Alex wakes up and sits bolt upright with his pillow in his mouth? He see’s me and spits out his pillow and screams “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH leave me alone my brother is in the house and he has a ….gun yes he has a gun and I also know.... Kung Fu so stay back”
I give him a confused look “Alex you don’t know Kung Fu and since when have I owned a gun”
“Tim? Is that you” Alex says giving me a confused look
“Who were you expecting Princess Luna” I reply sarcastically
“Yo...Yo...You’ve changed into Iron Will”
I look up and down myself “Oh my God Alex you’re right I have changed what should I do”
Alex gives me an unimpressed look “You don’t need to be rude about it”
“Sorry couldn’t resist, I just wanted to let you know I’d changed, I’m now going to go check myself out in the mirror”
Alex just rolls his eyes and starts to get out of bed.
}{}{}{}{}{
I go to the bathroom and look at myself in the mirror ‘Yep I’m definitely Iron Will’ I then start flexing my new muscles in the mirror(Hey don’t judge me you try suddenly getting a super ripped body and resist the urge to flex your new found muscles). I then get a thought “Oh I have got to do this, this is something I just can’t resist doing’ I look at myself in the mirror and point at myself and say “I pity the fool who doubts Iron Will’
“Did you really just say that Tim”
I look over to the door and see Alex standing there
“That is pretty lame”
I respond with “You call me lame I’ll make you the same”
“Tim that rhyme was bad and you should feel bad”
“I know, I just couldn’t resist, so you want some breakfast?”
“Yes I would but, you have to make it”
“Deal”
“Wait, Tim”
“Yes Alex?” I ask questionably
“What do Minotaurs eat?”
}{}{}{}{}{
I looked down at the assortment of food that we had set up to see what I could eat, we had a platter of fruit, and an assortment of meats. I grabs some of the fruit and try it first.
“Mmmmm” I say “Yep I definitely can still eat fruit” I demonstrate this by finishing the plate off.
“We both thought you would be able to eat the fruit” said Alex “It’s the meat we weren’t sure of”
I look at the assortment of meats we have lamb, chicken, ham and beef. I start with the lamb and wait a couple of seconds and nothing, I felt nothing no sickness or bad taste “Yep I can eat lamb” I repeat the process until I get to the beef.
“You don’t think it’s cannibalistic to eat beef as a part cow person right” I ask Alex
“I don’t know? Just eat the beef”
I grab the beef and eat it, thank god it tasted just as good as I remember it and I still don’t feel sick eating it. “Oh Yeah” I shout “I can still eat meat”
After finishing breakfast and rubbing in the fact that I could still eat meat and Alex couldn’t into his face I go off to my room to get changed. Just because Iron Will doesn’t wear any clothes in Equestria was not about to walk around naked, I still had to have some decency. I look through my clothes for something to wear, I decided upon a pair of jeans and a simple tshirt. I put the jeans on with no trouble but, as I try to put on the shirt I am unable to get my head through the the head hole in the shirt.
“Why won’t you go through” I say while trying to pull my head through. I eventually give up and throw the shirt to the other side of the room ‘I guess I’ll just have to go out and buy some new shirts that I can wear.
}{}{}{}{}{
I grab my keys and head out to my car “Cya Alex I’m off to the shops”
“Bye Tim” I hear Alex yell back
I go out to my car and try to hop in and am immediately met with a problem I try to sit in the car but my horns won’t allow me to sit correctly in my seat and are starting to poke holes into the roof. I hop out of the car and sigh ‘Guess I’ll have to take the bike then. I go back inside to get my motorbikes keys.
“Hey Tim that was quick” Alex calls out jokingly
“Haha Alex no I couldn’t get in the car so I’m taking the bike”
“ok” he call out and goes back to whatever he was doing.
I go and grab my bikes keys and head back outside, I have to go to the garage to get it as I hadn’t been riding it recently because of it being winter. I take the cover off and check over the bike to make sure that it still has gas and should still work. Everything seems to be in working order so I start her up. I look at my helmet sitting in the sidecar ‘Guess I can’t wear that either’. Ignoring my helmet I speed off down the road to the shops.
As I ride down the road to the shops I think to myself that I look like a real badass now, how cool must I look as a minotaur riding a motorbike the only thing that would make me look cooler would be a leather jacket and sunglasses.
I arrive at the shops and go inside as I walk in I start to get stares from the people I pass by, some actively try to avoid me, some are taking pictures with their phones and others just don’t care. I start looking for a shop that would sell clothes that would fit this body. As I’m walking through the shops I walk pass a China shop as I do the owner of the store sees me walking passed and quickly runs to the door and locks it and puts up the closed sign. I continue walking and start laughing to myself. I finally find a shop that might have clothes that will fit me, I walk in and start looking at different clothes on the rack. I know I can’t wear T-shirts any more because of the horns so I look through the different button up shirts.
30 minutes Later
I now have a decent selection of shirts that I can now wear so I go up to the counter to pay for them. I get to the counter and the cashier behind it it is busy reading a book. I cough at him to get his attention, he looks up from his book and jumps back slightly at my appearance. He stares at me for a couple of seconds before I start to get annoyed.
“You should take a picture it last longer” I say with a hint of anger in my voice
“That’s alright but would I be able to get these shirts then”
“Oh right” he then takes my shirts off me and starts putting them through, while he’s doing this he asks me “Um I was wondering if its not to much trouble would I be able to get a photo with you”
“What?’
“I would like to get a photo with you. One of my friends is a huge Brony and it would drive him up the walls to see me with someone from the show’
“I guess that would be fine”
He finishes putting through my sale and then comes around and gets his photo with me.
“Thanks a lot dude this means so much to me, Hope you enjoy the rest of your day.”
After taking the photo I collect my stuff and head back to my bike
}{}{}{}{}{
I am sitting at the computer doing more research into all this Pony transformations that have been happening around the world until I hear Alex yell “Tim quickly get in here they’re talking about the pony transformations on the news”
I get up and run to the lounge room to see what the news has to say on the matter.
“It has been almost two weeks since the world first witnessed the Transformation of people into ponies. Since then many people around the world have woken up to find themselves as ponies and have begun their pilgrimage to New York at the call from Lauren Faust. Recently though it has been seen that people aren’t just turning into ponies they have also been turning into other creatures that have appeared in the show. Earlier today the mining town of Kalgoorlie wake up to find most of the miners turned into bipedal dogs known as ‘Diamond Dogs from the show, we sent a reporter to talk to these people and find out how they are dealing with their transformation.”
The scene changed to to a man standing in a mine site with three diamond dogs wearing orange safety vests and hardhats ‘Wait I know those dogs they’re the three dogs from the Dog and pony show episode, what are their name’s again Rover, Spot and what the hell is the last one’s name.... Fido that’s it.’
The man begins to talk “I’m standing here in the usually quiet mining town of Kalgoorlie with three people who have been transformed into, not ponies like a lot of other people have, but into what are called Diamond Dogs from the Show My Little Pony. So can you explain to us how you felt when you woke up this morning”
The first to speak was the small bulldog like one I think his name is Spot “It not that bad we still have hands so he can work like we do before”
“Yes” said the the big one known as Fido “Even with Transformation we still can act like normal, beside difficulty in speaking in non-fractured words”
“Yes I noticed that” said the reporter “you do seem to have difficulty speaking proper english so does this mean the transformation has affected you mentally?”
“Me no think so” said the final Dog the one known as Rover and who I personally think he looks more like a cat than a dog “It hard to explain it like me still think normal but body no allow me to speak what I think, does that make sense”
“Beside the Diamond dogs in Kalgoorlie there have also been report of other non pony transformations” the scene changed to a video of a zebra shopping in supermarket then to
“Wait is that Chrysalis and Discord” asks Alex
“I think it is and they don’t look happy to see each other”
“Discord must have tried to get her to join his ranks but she probably has her own plans for world domination”
The next scene showed ….. me riding on my motorbike
“What the?” I stare at the TV with my mouth open
“Looks like you made the news, I guess it’s not everyday that a Minotaur rides down the street on a motorbike”
The shot of me ended and went back to the news anchor “As you can see there have been confirmed sighting of Minotaurs and what are known as changling appearing as well, there are even unconfirmed sighting of a Griffon in the New York area. We here at channel ten went out to talk to the people of Perth and ask them about their thoughts on all these transformations”
The scene changed and a middle age women was now on the screen with her small son, A person off screen then asked “So what do you think about all these people who have been transformed into ponies and other creatures?”
“Well I feel sorry for them, their lives have been turned upside down by these events and not only do they have to get used to a new body but there are a lot of people out there that are angry at them and are actively trying to hurt them. I can imagine nothing worse than some of these people being rejected by their friends and family just because of something they have no control over. I would like to think that if this happened to anyone in my family I would be trying to help them through this”
The screen then changed to an older looking biker guy “So what do you think about all these transformations” the off screen voice asked again
“I think it’s disgusting” he says and then spits at the idea “First we have these Goddamn horse freak coming and taking over people and trying to conquer us, now we have their dam monsters coming as well. I think that the government should be doing more to get rid of these freaks and monster..”
*Click
I turned the TV off I didn’t want to hear anymore from that bloody racist, it’s people like him that give humanity a bad rep. I now felt so angry after hearing that guy it made me want to just break something, it was as if something deep inside me didn’t like being referred to as a monster. Alex must have sensed my growing anger.
“Tim calm down you can’t let some dickhead who doesn’t know anything get you all riled up like that”
“I know, it must be this body or something it must just get angrier easier”
“You shouldn’t blame the body completely but I think you’re right we are in other bodies and the original owner are influencing us subconsciously”
“That’s pretty deep Al”
“I know it must be the body” Alex looks up the clock “It is getting late I’m going to go to bed”
“Ok night then, just make sure you used your pillow to sleep on not to eat tonight, alright”
“Hahaha” he says Sarcastically “I almost forgot to laugh at that”
After Alex had gone to bed I go back to the computer to look up more information. During the news the reporter mentioned something about ponies traveling to New York, I start looking up information in regards to this. I find out that on the first day that people started turning into ponies Lauren Faust who had turned into Princess Celestia had held a press conference asking for the elements of harmony to go to New York as a meeting place and because of this most people who had been turned into ponies were making the trek to help out and find answers. I found out some interesting stories on the web about peoples journeys the best one I found was Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy playing Dance Dance Revolution and answering fan questions.
After look at all this info I go to bed and start thinking about what I have read. ‘Everyone seems to be heading to New York. Should Alex and I also be making this journey? Would we really be any help? How would we even get there, it’s halfway around the world. The better question is will anyone actually want me to go I’m just the Monster that made Fluttershy cry.’ With that last thought I fall asleep.
I open my eyes and I’m not met with the usual sight of my bedroom ceiling or even the unusual sight of the inside of the linen closet (Hey! It was one time and I was really drunk) instead I wake up to a stone ceiling. I sit up to get a better look at this place I have woken up in, I look around and I appear to be in some kind of stone corridor, kind of what you would see in a old castle or pyramid.
“Where the hell am I!” I shout out for no one to hear. ‘Wait? That was my normal voice ’ I look down and see that I have changed back to normal. 'I wish the universe would make up its mind does it want me human or as a minotaur, I was just starting to get used to the body plus having all that muscle was a bonus. ’ I then start to hear music coming from the hallway straight ahead of me.
“Where is that music coming from” I ask myself aloud ‘Only one way to find out ’ I start walking in the direction that the music is coming from.
}{}{}{}{
“WHERE THE HELL IS THIS MUSIC COMING FROM” I yell out in frustration, it feels like I’ve been chasing the source of this music for hours within this labyrinth of hallways. I continue following the sound of the music, I go around a corner and then I see it, at the end of this hallway I can see a light. ‘Down there must be the where this music is coming from ’
I enter the room and have to cover my eyes as I’m temporarily blinded by the sudden change in light. Once my eye have adjusted to the light I look around the room “Woah” I whisper to myself the room is big and I mean really big think Grand Central Station big. The contents of the room seemed to be an odd assortment, there is stuff that would make up a library including numerous shelves full of books, computers and desks to work on, then there is also the makings of a gym, there are weights and a large assortment of gym equipment and I swear I can see a pool down the back of the room. As I’m looking over the gym equipment I see someone towards the back lifting weights, I start walking towards them hoping to find out who they are and finally get some answers. As I get closer I realise that what I thought was a person working out is actually Iron Will.
“About time you showed up” said the now familiar voice of the minotaur working out “I thought you’d never show up” he continues lifting the weights without a change in pace as he talks to me.
To say that I’m totally freaking out at the moment would be an understatement, first I turned into him then I turned back into myself and now I’m talking the the very minotaur that I turned into in some strange building that I have no idea where it is. I have a million question that I want to ask him, I finally ask him the first question that come to my head
“Where are we?” I ask
“For a smart person you sure are slow on the uptake, we are currently inside your head” he responds without stopping what he is doing.
“Ok then my next question is what are we doing here?”
“I don’t know about you but I’m currently lifting weights” he says with a grin on his face
“That’s not what I meant!”
“I knew what you meant, I just felt like messing with you a little kid” he stops lifting the weights and places down, he then sits up “If we’re gonna continue with this game of twenty questions we might as well do it somewhere a little more comfortable” he stands up and motions for me to follow him, as I start walking I quickly take a look at the weights he was lifting.
“Holy Shit!” I say a little bit to loud, Iron Will stops and turns around “What’s wrong now kid?” he asked a bit annoyed “We don’t have all night you know”
“Oh sorry it’s just I noticed how much weight you were lifting”
“Yeah so?”
“It’s 900 Kg “
He rubs the back of his neck and looks at me as if he’s embarrassed “Yeah Iron Will knows that it’s not that much but Iron Will’s mainly been going for high reps over weight. Now if you could just stop asking stupid questions for a short time that would be good”
}{}{}{}{
I slide into the bubbling water letting it engulf me up to my neck “ahhh this water feels amazing” Iron Will who was already sitting in the hot tub looks over to me with a big smile on his face “Iron Will knew it was a good choice to come here, nothing beats sitting in a hot tub after a long workout or in your case getting lost in a maze” I give him a sheepish look when he says this “Ok” he continues “Let’s get down to business you may now continue asking questions of Iron Will”
“Oh ok, I guess my first question is do you know why this is happening, the whole people turning into ponies thing?”
“No” he answers simply
“Is that all no” I reply a little irritated
“What did you want Iron Will to say, I have no idea the reason this is happening, I had finished one of my seminars in hoofington and had gone to bed and when I woke up I was no longer in control of my body. That is the plan and simple of it”
“Ok I guess that makes sense, then my next question is-”
Iron Will holds up his hand signaling for me to be quiet “Before we continue kid there’s one thing I have to warn you about Minotaurs”
“What’s that?” I ask
“Well you probably noticed when you were watching the news earlier that you started to feel angrier than you normally would about something like that”
“Yeah I did notice that, what’s that about?”
“Well all us minotaurs we suffer from major anger problems and it doesn’t take much to make us angry, I think the best way to describe it is like this Hulk character I’ve read about in here we’re kind of like him, when we get angry we really get angry and barely anything can stop an angry minotaur. Fortunately most Minotaurs have pretty good control over their anger, the problem is you’ve only been one for a day so you don’t have this control, so I’m going to do you a favour so you don’t do anything you regret I’m going to help you control our anger”
“How are you gonna do that?” I ask
“Well at first I’m gonna directly help you by talking to you during the day, so we can start working on it”
“Wait! Hold on a second you’re gonna start talking to me in my head” I half yell at him
Iron Will stands up in the hot tub and looks down on me with a hint of annoyance in his eyes “And what may I ask is wrong with that it is my head after all”
“Nothing, nothing” I say as I wave my hands in front of me
Iron Will sits back down “Good. Next I’ll start training you while you’re asleep so we can strengthen your mind”
“That sounds cool, I do have one more question though”
“And what would that be kid”
“Well I wanted to ask what happened after your trip to Ponyville?
I open my eyes and I’m back in my room in my comfy bed, ‘Dammit Iron Will what are you hiding from me, next time I speak with you I will get an answer from you ’ I feel something big and soft in my mouth, I spit it out and check to see what it is. It’s my pillow, ‘Why was my pillow in my mouth? Oh God! I can not let Alex know that this happened to me as well if he knew about this after the shit I gave him he would never let me down. ’
Let us never speak of this again
Tim managed to fall asleep again following his little episode with the pillow, but he didn’t meet up with Iron Will again. After what felt like seconds to Tim his alarm went off, Tim made sure to be careful when turning of the alarm this time as he couldn’t afford to be replacing his clock everyday.
With a loud yawn and a stretch Tim got out of his bed and started his half asleep morning march to the kitchen. As he walked he tried to ignore all the damage that had been done to the house over the last couple of days, his broken door, the hole in the wall and the water stained carpets, but it wasn’t easy. ‘This is going to cost a fortune to get this all fixed up’ Tim thought to himself, as he was about to enter the living room he could hear someone was in there already and was talking to someone. It took a couple of second but Tim recognised the voice of the person talking it was Cheerilee's or more accurately Alex in Cheerilee's body. Not wanting to interrupt what Alex but still curious as to what he was doing Tim stood by the doorway and listened into what Alex was saying.
“-sounds good” Alex said, Tim could then just make out someone responding on what Tim could only assume was the phone. “Will do, I’ll call back later with the rest of my detail and organise a time for me to start. Thanks for the help bye.” *Click
With the conversation over Tim walks into the kitchen and sees Alex in there puting the phone down. This made Tim even more curious, he had so many questions flying around his head, Who was Alex talking to?, Why was he doing it so early in the morning? and How did Alex use the phone in the first place? Tim gave his head a shake to help himself focus on the matter at hand not get distracted by how ponies use their hooves.
Now standing behind Alex, who still hadn’t noticed that Tim had entered the room, “So who was that” Tim asked
Alex jumped a couple of meters into the air and landed on his back with his legs in the air like a fainting goat. Tim could help but laugh at what had just happened, while he was Alex manages to get back up and he give his brother an angry glare “Don't do that!” he half yells at Tim.
Tim manages to stop laughing and shrugs “I was just wondering who you were speaking to on the phone”
The expression on Alex’s face went from one of anger to that of nervousness “Um, ergh no one I was speaking to no one. It was a wrong number, yeah a wrong number.” While talking Alex’s eyes shift side to side and once finished he gives Tim a huge false smile.
Tim doesn’t believe what Alex had just said for a second and normally he would be all over this and pressuring his little brother to spill the bean but today he decided to show him a little kindness he was going to let this one slide they had both gone through some dramatic changes and some were bigger than others. “Ok, I was just wondering” he responds
It was true Tim wasn’t really a morning person and if he had his way he would sleep into noon everyday if he had the choice but he an important reason to be up this early today. “Well I’ve got work why else would I be up this early”
Alex seemed a bit taken back by this “You're going to go to work like this?” Alex asked while gesturing at Tim.
“Of course I am, I have work and unlike you my new transformation doesn’t really hinder me doing my job plus Josh has gone away on holiday and I’m covering for him so there is no one else to cover for me today”
“I’m not going to be able to change your mind I’m I?” Alex asked
“Nope” Tim says with a shake of his head “But lets not focus on that lets have some breakfast I’ll make it”
“Deal”, Alex makes his way over to the couch and sits down to wait for Tim to make breakfast
Tim makes his way over to the fridge to see what he should make, he looks through the fridge to find something that is suitable for both Alex and him to eat. Tim finally decided to cook some eggs as he knew that ponies could eat them from the show and he could pretty much eat anything he could from when he was still human. As Tim started to cook the eggs he started to have a warm fuzzy feeling start to come over him, it continued to grow until he couldn’t contain it anymore he had to let it out he had to.... Sing!
“My name is Pinkie Pie (Hello!)
And I am here to say (How ya doin?)
I'm gonna make you smile and I will brighten up your day
It doesn't matter now (What's up?)
If you are sad or blue (Howdy!)
'Cause cheering up my friends is just what Pinkie's here to do”
Tim looked over to Alex to see how he was doing and Alex was looking at him with a confused look on his face but that quickly disappeared and what happened next was the biggest surprise to Tim, he started to sing the next verse of the song
“ 'Cause I love to make you smile, smile, smile
Yes I do
It fills my heart with sunshine all the while
Yes it does
'Cause all I really need's a smile, smile, smile
From these happy friends of mine”
Tim and Alex smile at each other as Tim starts to sing the next verse.
“I like to see you grin (Awesome!)
I love to see you beam (Rock on!)
The corners of your mouth turned up is always Pinkie's dream (Hoof bump!)
But if you're kind of worried
And your face has made a frown
I'll work real hard and do my best to turn that sad frown upside down”
Tim puts down the spatula and forgets about the eggs and goes over to Alex and they both start singing the song together.
“ 'Cause I love to make you grin, grin, grin
Yes I do
Bust it out from ear to ear let it begin
Just give me a joyful grin, grin, grin
And you fill me with good cheer
It's true some days are dark and lonely
And maybe you feel sad
But Pinkie will be there to show you that it isn't that bad
There's one thing that makes me happy and makes my whole life worthwhile
And that's when I talk to my friends and get them to smile
I really am so happy
Your smile fills me with glee
I give a smile I get a smile
And that's so special to me
'Cause I love to see you beam, beam, beam
Yes I do
Tell me what more can I say
To make you see
That I do”
Tim picks up Alex and puts him on his shoulder, Alex is initially surprised but then he smiles again and the continue to sing the song together while marching around the room just like they did during the song in the episode.
“It makes me happy when you beam, beam, beam
Yes it always makes my day
Come on every pony smile, smile, smile
Fill my heart up with sunshine, sunshine
All I really need's a smile, smile, smile
From these happy friends of mine
Come on every pony smile, smile, smile
Fill my heart up with sunshine, sunshine
All I really need's a smile, smile, smile
From these happy friends of mine
Tim then starts to sing Pinkies line during the song while Alex sing the background part
Yes the perfect gift for me (Come on every pony smile, smile, smile)
Is a smile as wide as a mile (Fill my heart up with sunshine, sunshine)
To make me happy as can be (All I really need's a smile, smile, smile; From these happy friends of)
Then Tim and Alex sung together
Smile, smile, smile, smile, smile
Come on and smile
Come on and smile”
Once they had finished sing Tim and Alex collapsed down on the couch together and started to laugh. After laughing for a while they both suddenly stopped as a sudden realisation came over them they looked to each other the happiness gone now replaced by worry, Tim was the first to speak “Did I what I think just happen just happen”
“If you mean we just performed a musical number for no reason then yes” Alex responded
“Lets agree to never speak of this again, deal”
“Deal”
With that settled they both sat up but then Alex asked Tim something “Hey Tim do you smell something burning?”
“THE EGGS!” Tim shouted
Author's Note
Hey everyone, so you may have noticed that I have changed from 1st person to 3rd person in this chapter. This is because over the last couple of months I've been trying to write my latest chapter but everything I wrote looked blocky and poorly written so I tried writing the chapter in a different perspective and the chapter flowed out so much better. So from now on all my new chapters will be coming out in 3rd person perspective and when I find the time I will go back and change my previous chapters into the same perspective. You don't have to worry the story will be exactly the same so you won't have to go back and re-read it, it will just have a different perspective to hopefully make the story read better.
