“W-WHAT?! Now you want to be a pony?! By Celestia...Fine! Just, hold still...” Twilight trotted over to Jace, a slightly annoyed look on her face. MEANWHILE ON COAL'S SCREEN, he was getting drawn on by Pinkie. 'Wait, what is that poking he-....I Don't want to know...'

Twilight had her full concentration on the spell she was brewing. “Alright Jace, you ready to be a pony?” Jace nodded eagerly. 'I hope I'm something awesome looking! That would be great! Wait, what about that pony in my dreams? Oh shit! I totally forgot about tha-' His thoughts were interrupted as a beam of purple light enveloped his entire body.

He didn't do anything, just like Coal when he got changed. They seven other watched as he floated into the air and glowed brighter. Then, something happened. A yellow light formed in with the purple and a swirling golden vortex engulfed Jace's body. They all moved back, except for Coal; who was dragged by Applejack. They vortex increased in speed, books being thrown off shelves and papers being tossed around. A scream came from Rarity but was drowned by the sound of violent winds whipping around the room. Then, there was a yellow shock wave and a big cloud of smoke where Jace was sitting.

Twilight and the others coughed as dust and items settled on the ground. Gasps could be heard from them all as the smoke cleared and Jace was nowhere to be seen! Instead, a yellow and black pony with red eyes stood in his place. The Calling Card hung loosely around his neck and he bared a cutie mark of a vinyl record.

“J-Jace? How do you feel?” Twilight stammered as she got closer to the pony. He blinked and then looked at her. His eyes widened and he yelled out, falling to the ground. “Jace?! What's wrong?!”

“Stay back! I don't know who the FUCK you are!” His usual American accent had been replaced with a heavy Scottish one. He backed up to a wall and looked at the seven in front of him. “I'm seriously fucking warning you! I will Fuck. Your. Shit. if you get near me!” Coal turned his head.

“What are you talking about Jace?! It's me Coal!”

“I don't know any Coal! And why are you calling me Jace?! That's not my name!” The others looked at each other with a look of confusion, not really knowing what's going on. The yellow pony looked down and saw the hourglass around his neck. He poked at it slightly. “The hell is this thing?!” He blinked as he saw a glowing from his chest. He pushed the Calling Card to the side and went wide eyed at the sight he saw. It was some strange box inside of his chest. What in Celestia's good name is going on?!

He tapped it once and then his wings rose up, almost automatically. He blinked as he could hear music coming from somewhere...He looked around his body then put an ear to his wing. It sounded stronger from here?! What in the hell?! He looked at the device and saw a silver thing on what appeared to be a slider bar. He pushed the silver thing up and heard the volume of music increase from his wings. He turned to his wing, mouth agape then looked down at the device.

“What the...Jace! Your I-Pod fused with your body!” Coal yelled out as his friend played around with it. “And your wings play the music like speakers!” The yellow pony looked up, disbelief in his eyes.

“Alright, I have no FUCKING IDEA WHAT'S GOING ON.” He fell on his haunches as the song ended and his wings folded back to their original state. “CAN SOMEONE FILL ME IN? Also, Mr. Clown...For the last time...MY NAME ISN'T JACE!” Coal blinked. 'Clown? Is that really how I look?'

“Alright, stop yer yellin' then and Twi' will explain this!” Applejack put her mouth to her friend's ear. “You, can explain this...Right?” Twilight walked up to this..Pony..And inspected him over.

“Hmm, you've been changed into a pony. Same as your friend Coal.” The crimson pony waved a hoof at him. “It seems you've lost your memory due to some interference in the spell...” She tapped a hoof on his I-Chest and raised a brow. “Seems that device you carried around decided to fuse with you when you were transformed into a pony.” The pony pushed her away.

“Allll right...One problem with your theory, I REMEMBER EVERYTHING.” Twilight raised a brow.

“But Jace-”

“STOP BUCKING CALLING ME THAT!” Twilight jumped back at his outburst. “MY NAME IS BLACK BUCKING GOLD! NOT JACE! STOP CALLING ME THAT!” He had gotten to his hooves and stamped on the ground when he was yelling to put some emphasis on the statement.

“Now! Tell me Purple, what do they call you?”

“T-Twilight Sparkle..”

“Alright then Twilight, I wish for you to send me back to where I was! Happy in Equestria!” They all looked at each other then back at the yellow pony in front of them. They stared at him like he was crazy. “What? WHAT?!”

“Um...You are in Equestria...Sir..” The voice came from Fluttershy, who was quiet that entire time. Surprising she hasn't broken down crying yet.

The yellow pony stood there, like a deer staring at the headlights of a car. Twilight shrugged to the others and waved a hoof in his face. After what seemed like hours, a scream came from the yellow pony. It was a terrified scream and he ran right out the door of the library.

“VINYL! I GOTTA FIND HER!” Black Gold ran through the crowds of ponies in town, knocking them out of his way as he ran to the mansion. It took him five minutes of non-stop running to get there, but when he got there, he started to frantically pound on the door. “VIIINYYYLL! OPEN UP LASS!”

The door opened and Vinyl stood in the doorway. “Can I hel-AHHH!” She was tackled by Black Gold who proceeded to hug the living shit out of her. “HEY! GET THE FUCK OFF ME YOU CREEPO!” She pushed him off of her and she scampered to the hallway. “What in the fuck are you anyway!?”

“Vinyl! Common you gotta remember me! It's me! Black Gold! Your best friend! Common please tell me you remember me!” Vinyl just stared at him like he was nuts.

“Alright fanboy, you have obviously went to so many of my concerts that I think I would remember you from seeing you in the crowd...Yeah, whatever..OUT.” She started to push him out the door.

“No NO! You don't understand! I'm your best friend! I can prove it!” Vinyl stopped and looked right at him.

“Who is my lover?” She narrowed her red eyes.

“Shale of course!” Vinyl stopped and then pushed him harder.

“GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE YOU CREEPER!” She pushed him so hard he rolled down the stairs of the mansion's stairway to the front door and she slammed the door.

Black Gold laid on the ground, dumbfounded. 'What is this place?' He thought to himself as he just stared up at the sky, defeated. He stared up at the sky and then an idea popped in his head. 'Well, this...Jace character must like music since this device in my chest was..Fused to me during the...Transformation...Maybe he was close friends with Vinyl!' He got back to his hooves and ran up the stairs again, ringing the doorbell. Vinyl answered again and then shut the door as she saw him. A hoof stopped the door and he pushed it open. It was forced shut again by Vinyl's body but Black Gold pushed against it.

“Listen to me! You have to believe me on one thing lass! I have proof to telling the truth that I am your best friend!”

“Like what?! A fucking coupon that's good for being my friend for one day?!”

“No! I got something one of your friends has!” Vinyl stopped pushing after a while and then opened the door.

“What in the fuck could you possi-” Her eyes moved to Jace's Calling Card that hung around his neck and the I-Pod in his chest. “W-Where did you get those?!”

He walked into the mansion and looked right at her. “I know this may sound strange but, my name is Black Gold...I believe I am the creation of being transformed into a pony by someone named Jace...Do you know him?”

The next thing that happened, pain. Utter pain. In the form of a punch to the face.

“FUCKING CELESTIADAMMIT JACE ROMERO!!!!” She was screaming at the top of her lungs. She moved to the now fallen body of Black Gold. “WHAT THE FUCK DID I TELL YOU ABOUT NO MORE CRAZY SHIT?!”

Black Gold stood and eyed her. “LISTEN YOU FUCKING LUNATIC!” Vinyl reared back a bit. This was NOT her Jace. “I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOUR JACE, SO SHUT IT AND MET ME EXPLAIN AS MUCH AS I CAN.” Vinyl shut her mouth but kept a scowl on her face. “My name is Black Gold. I don't know any Jace. I live in Equestria, you are my best friend, and you're married to Shale Hammer...”

“Alright, that's bugging me! How the hell do you know my ex-husband?!” Black Gold gaped.

“Ex?! You two have been married for four years!”

“WHAT? NO! That bastard left me after a month into the marriage to be with some other mare! My love is Jace Romero!”

Black Gold fell on his haunches, looking on the ground. His mind raced with the events that happened today and then put his theory to the test, and it worked in his head. “I'm sorry..”

“What for?!” She was obviously pissed.

“I'm sorry for taking your lover's body to become myself.” He looked up at her.

He expression softened a bit. “Wait, what do you mean? You mean that...I'll never get to see my Jace again?” The angered expression was replaced with sadness, and tears.

“I don't k-” A black smoke came from the Calling Card and moved to the stairs. “WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!” He pulled off the Calling Card and threw it on the ground, the smoke still coming out. It took the form of a being that walked on two legs. It looked around and then at Vinyl.

“Vinyl...I'm sorry to see these unfortunate events take place after you left the Card. I have been trying to repair it then I felt a disturbance in the force..” The figure turned to Black Gold. “You, over here...Now..”

“GO BUCK YOURSELF!”

“Very well..” The figure moved it's, what seemed to be hand, and made Black Gold levitate over to it. “Ah yes, Black Gold. A fall back scenario for nightmares and the occasional pony dream of Jace. You were brought into this world when Jace thought about a dream he recently had when undergoing surgery. The device in your chest is one of Jace's prized possessions in this world, an I-Pod. A device that holds a plethora of songs and videos at the touch of a button. Your wings modified to play this music and in turn, have turned you into a giant mixing booth. Oh, that reminds me. I read that Jace made you a DJ like himself. His nickname for you is Sergeant Smash, since the first time you mixed something, you blew out all the windows of all the houses in all of Ponyville. Your cutie mark is a vinyl record to symbolize your talent for being a DJ. Now you're probably wondering who I am.” Black Gold was gaping at this point and he let out a slight nod. “I am Death, Jace's master as he sets off on a quest to become Death after myself. If you have any questions, use the Card for answers..” The smoke released a grip on Black and he fell on the ground with a thud. The smoke slowly moved to the ground and went back into the hourglass, like nothing ever happened.

Black stood there, looking off into space. Vinyl walked over and waved a hoof in his face before he fell on his side, and passed out. “Oh, joy...”
