>Your lessons resume as normal for the rest of the day. >You drag your wimpy ass back home and quickly run upstairs. >Well, despite your red eyes you'd say you look fine. >Whatever, like you said it would probably return to normal by morning. >You hop onto your battlestation and return to your usual browsing. >You are also a pretty big music enthusiast. >You tried to produce some of your own once, but it didn't work out. >Activating your favourite playlist, you zone out for the rest of the evening. >You only leave your room to raid the fridge. >You don't feel like eating any meat after that sasuage earlier. >You grab a simple salad instead and return to your cave.   >You feel a lot more tired than usual. >You should probably get some sleep. >You check the computer's clock, damn it's only 8PM. >Sleep never hurt anybody right? >You shutdown your computer and take off your uniform. >You see several horizontal brown marks run across your lower body and back. >Huh, you don't remember having these stretchmarks. >Probably just growing a bit. >You brush your teeth, and check your disgusting puberty beard. >Stubbly, also strangely white in places. >Seems like a good excuse to shave then. >You grab your shaver and get to work. >After lopping off much more than usual, you run your hand over your chin. >Smooth as a baby's bottom. >Not that you know what that feels like or anything. >Your devilish red eyes are still there. >They actually look pretty cool. >You try to wrap your mind and remember what colour they were before. >Green? Yeah that seems about right. >Green was your favourite colour after all.   >You suddenly realize you've been standing there for at least five minutes. >In your boxers. >Suddenly feeling very exposed you jog back to your room. >Turn out the lights. >Leap into bed. >Fall into a deep sleep.   >You're awake, at least you think you are. >You slowly draw open your eyes, to be met by the blinding morning sun. >This room seems oddly familiar. >The bright colours and exagerated wooden fruniture make it seem like something from a childrens cartoon. >You feel odd. >Like your limbs have been severed at the joints, giving them an odd yet sensitive stubby feeling. >You certainly don't remember your feet feeling like that. >You can't even feel your fingers! >Your hair feels long and silky. >You look down at yourself to discover... >You've turned into a small white pony. >This is one fucked up dream. >Must be Shaun messing with you. >Fucking Shaun. >The two toned electric blue mane which now obscures your vision is pushed away by your new hooves. >This is so weird, must be a lucid dream! >It feels so real! >You feel your face, muzzle, big eyes, horn? >Cool, you are a magical, legendary animal. >You wonder if you can magic and shit.   >You decide to get a better look at yourself. >You wrestle with your bed covers and drop to the wooden floor. >The room itself is decorated in simple furniture and gentle colours. >A lot brighter than your room for sure. >You struggle to stand with your new limbs, but after a couple of tumbles you manage to stand up. >You experiment with walking on four legs for several minutes, attempting to give yourself enough practice to make it to your bathroom. >Each time your stumble you get more and more irritated! >You should know how to do this! You are a pony after all! "Damn it!' >That is obviously not your voice. >It's high pitched and feminine. >Though it still holds some semblence to your English accent. >You look down and notice the new hole placed between your legs. >WELP >It's only a dream, you can worry about your lack of manhood later.   >Eventually you manage to pick up a decent pace as you trot happily around your room. >Despite your reduced size, everything seems perfectly scaled for you. >Must be a pony house. >Duh. You are a pony after all. >You bound into the outside hallway and walk into the bathroom at the end. >Pony bathroom, complete with small toilet and shower. >You can't help but giggle. >Ugh, way too girly for your liking. >You shake those thoughts out of your mind and look into the large mirror placed at floor height. >You are definately a unicorn, cool. >You have an two tone electric blue mane. >Your coat is a very pristine white. >You have a musical note on one of your pony arse cheeks. >What do they call those again? Flanks? Yeah that must be it. >But what really catches your attention is your eyes... >Your vibrant. >Firey. >Brilliant. >Red. >Eyes.   >You wake up with a gasp. >You've broken out into a cold sweat. >You have a searing headache. >But worst of all, you're scared. >What in hell was that dream about. >The memory slowly leaks back to the front of your mind. >Being a pony. >The house. >But worst of all, the eyes. >You glance over to your clock, it's about time you woke up for school. >Luckily it's Saturday. >You quickly hop out of bed, only paying a passing notice to the aches that assault your body. >You run back to the mirror. >Of course they didn't get better.   >Those red eyes continue to taunt you. >Several insane thories fly around your head. >What if you're a demon! >What if Shaun gave you a disease! >What if you're turning into a pony! >You spend several moments collecting your thoughts, before letting loose a nervous chuckle. >What IS wrong with you? None of those are even possible. >Maybe except Shaun giving you some weird disease. >Fucking Shaun.   >Oh right, you were going to see a movie with Jack today. >Those aches don't feel too great, but it shouldn't stop you from enjoying a movie. >You throw on some of your last clean clothes. >Do your daily routine. >Jack should be showing up soon. >About an hour later he finally arrives. >He looks a bit shaken up. "Hi." >He looks at you apprehensively. "What's wrong Jack?" >"Dude I had the weirdest dream last night." >No... He didn't? "What was it about?" >He suddenly looks very embarrassed. >Oh god he did. >You hesitate, fuck it. "Did you dream about being a pony?" >A look of astonishment overtakes his features. >"Uhh... Yeah, how did you know that!" "I kinda' had a similar dream too..." >His face only becomes more cartoonish when he finally puts two and two together. "Look, can we not worry 'bout it. We're gonna' be late for the bloody movie." >His worry does little to aleviate your own. >He nods solemnly before walking with you. >You live pretty close to the centre of town, so it's not a long walk. >The awkawrd silence that hangs in the air is what makes it feel long.   "Hey, do you have strange aches too?" >He looks at you and sighs. >"Yeah." >Great, just great. Both of you have caught an unknown, possibly deadly illness. >Okay maybe not deadly, you should stop getting ahead of yourself like that. "Let's just forget it for now and enjoy the movie okay?" >"Hey man you're the one bringing it up." "Sorry, it's not like we have much else to talk about anyway." >He looks at you with "that" face. "Hey, you didn't die in your sleep did you?" >He chuckles and the smile that you know and love returns to his face. >"Whats to say I'm not a ghost?" >You punch him in the arm. >"OW! What was that for?" "Just checking for ghosts that's all." >He hits you back and you both share some much needed laughter. >Goodbye tension. >You both buy your tickets, some popcorn and grab some middle seats. >The lights dim and you sit back to enjoy the movie.   >It is now 2 hours later. >Damn those guys know how to make a good action movie. >Those aches still haven't gone away though. >You and Spits grab some food at one of the local cafes. >You are discussing the plot holes in the movie. >He dismisses it as "suspension of disbelief." >He's probably right, it's only a dumb action movie. >You decide to go crash at his house for a while, play some video games. >You are both sat on his bed, playing some random side scrolling shooter. >Suddenly a sharp pain assaults your legs. >It doesn't hurt too bad, you've had worse. >But Spits seems to be having the same problem. "Ahhhhh fuck! What the hell?" >"Dude what is this?" >You are both clenching the effected parts of your legs. >You fall backwards onto the bed, attemtping to lessen the pain. >Spits attempts to take a stand, only to have his legs give out under him, sending him to the floor. >The sounds of the still running game echoes in the background. >Black blurs begin to edge themselves around your vision. >They slowly creep into the centre of your eyes as the pain in your legs fades into nothing. >Both you and Spits pass out at the same time.   >You wince as you once again find yourself in bed. >Back to the house huh. >Of course you've been ponified again. >You sigh and trot out into the hall. >While you're here you could at least freshen up. >You enter the bathroom and look at the tiny sink. >There's a blue toothbrush there along with some colgate tooth paste. >The packaging is different though, having been changed to a strange blue theme. >You reach out to grab the brush when you realize you have hooves. >You are missing your precious hands already. >You sit back on your haunches as you think of a way to grab it. >You tap your hoof against your forehead until you meet a peculiar hard protrusion. >Your horn! Maybe you could use magic. >You look at the toothpaste and focus as much as possible. >Your horn glows, but it doesn't seem to budge. >Hmm. You image your human arms grabbing hold of it instead. >It's a strange sensation. >But it works, and the toothbrush slowly rises from it's cup. >You use your other imaginary arm to grab the toothpaste and squeeze some onto it. >Wow! This is suprisingly easy! >The rest was a doddle! You quickly found yourself without anything to do again. >Maybe you should try going outside? >The blinding light flowing into the house made it really difficult to see. >You enter some sort of living room, complete with tiny pony furniture. >There is a kitchen to your left, but you don't really feel very hungry. >You trot over to your comically sized front door and open it.   >Your eyes adjust to the bright sun, and you are met with sweeping fields of green. >It's almost cartoonish in how bright and colourful it is. >You trot outside, the sun beating down on you, warming you to the core. >Damn that feels good. >You appear to be in some sort of town. >Dozens of other brightly coloured ponies go about their buisness. >Each with their own unique arse marking. >Luckily your retinas have not melted out of your skull yet. >Most of them don't seem to notice you. >Why would they? You're just another face in the crowd. >You wonder if Spits is here too. >He did have to same problem as you. >You decide to explore your new surroundings and set off towards the centre of town. >Several ponies greet you, you releuctantly return the favour. >Everybody is so friendly here! >You reach the town centre, and what looks like the city hall. >You yawn, nothing interesting going on here. >Man, for an entirley new world; it sure is boring. >You scan around for ponies that remind you of Spits. >You see an orange pony wearing a... stetson? >Not the weirdst thing that's happened today. >You approach her, she seems to be selling apples.   "Uhh. Excuse me." >Jeeze that weirds you out, it isn't even your voice. >"Well howdy there pardner'." >Of course she has a texan accent, why not? >Do ponies even have a Texas? >Your thoughts are interrupted once again. >"You lookin' to buy some of mah' apples?" >You shake your head. "Actually I'm just looking for a friend." >"Well, what does she look like?" >You think for a moment as to what he could have turned into. "Uh. Bright orange eyes, orange hair? Goes by Spits." >You hope thats enough to get you an answer. >"Well, theres lot of people that could be..." >She strokes her chin(?) with a hoof before pointing a hoof at you. >"Wait Spits? Don't ya mean Spitfire? I heard about her! New arrival here in ponyville right?" >You nod nervously. "We're both new arrivals actually!" >"Gosh darn really? Waht's your name?" >Think fast Vinny, you need a name. something that won't arouse suspicion, you are a girl pony after all. >V-ine, V-innette? V-inyl! Vinyl! Perfect, it fits with your arse mark too! "My name is Vinyl, nice to meet you..." >"Applejack! Welcome to ponyville!" >Ponyville? Seriously? You can only imagine what horrifying horse puns wait you here. "So uh, you seen Spits around here lately?" >"I saw her go past towards the lake earlier." "Which direction would that be in?" >After AJ gives you directions, you wave her goodbye. >She insists on holding a welcome party at some point. >You don't like parties.   >You head out to the lake idley observing nature go by. >Damn this place is pretty. >You eventually come across an expanse of sparkling blue water. >You spot a yellow pegasus laying under one of the trees by the beach. >She has a bright orange mane and eyes. >Yep, that's definately Spits. >You approach her carefully before deciding to have some fun. "HIYA SPITS!" >She damn nearly jumps out of her fur, a girly scream following her upwards. >Spits slowly floats back down to the ground as she takes a good look at you, >"V-vinny?" "Ugh, it's actually Vinyl now! You know, keeping up apperances and stuff." >She slowly nods in understanding. >You know what's coming. "What the fuck is happening?" >"How should I know? Now not only are our eye colours changing but now we're sharing dreams too!" >You nudge her with a hoof. "I dunno' Spitfire, you seem to be getting into it ." >The glare that Spits gives you could kill a lesser man. >You only smile sheepisly in response.   >"Very fucking funny Vinyl." >She crosses her forearms across her chest and huffs loudly. >Damn that's cute. >Why the hell are you thinking that? >You hope this isn't messing with your head too. "Whatever, we have to wake up eventually." >You plop your ass down next to Spits. "So uh. How was your day?" >"I've been learning how to fly! It's really cool!" "Aww man you can fly! I can only use magic." >You tap your horn a couple of times to emphesise your point. >"It's one or the other buddy." >She's right, you saw some ponies without either though. You wonder what makes them special. "You have noticed this is based of a childrens cartoon show neither of us have watched right?" >"Of course I have! Shaun wouldn't shut up about it yesterday." >Your mind wanders back to what Shaun showed you yesterday. >That picture seemed very strange. >It was obviously fake, ponies don't exist! >Maybe it had some sort of subliminal message in it? >Does Shaun even realize? >He probably does. "Fucking Shaun." >"I hear ya'."   >you sit there for at least half an hour, making small talk about your strange situation. >You're not sure if this Spits is even real, but it's nice to have somep0ny to talk to. >Wait. >Somep0ny? >You didn't mean to do that! >Now you're replacing words with other words! >You've probably gone insane. >How nice. >You both sit there in silence. >suddenly a blinding light fills your eyes. >You feel your body changing, a good kind of familiar. >You close your eyes. >Darkness.   >You slowly crack open your crusty eyes. >It feels like you've been asleep for days. >Theres a steady beeping next to you. >OH SHIT! >You both passed out in Spits' house! >Those old aches and pains quickly return to haunt your tired body. >You remember your adventures in ponyville. >God that was weird. >You look around, you eyes meet a heart moniter. >Damn, you both got put in hospital. >You don't feel much better though. >A tall doctor enters the room. >He approches you, checks your chart and sends something over his pager. >"How are you feeling Vinny?" >He walks around to the side of your bed listening intently. "It feels like I went three rounds with the hulk." >Oh god, what is wrong with your voice. >It's raspy and dry, but above all else it sounds higher pitched, more female in tone. >You were right! >You are changing! >The doctor doesn't seem to notice your inner termoil. >"I'll get you some painkillers and a drink alright?" >You nod quickly and he leaves the room. >Theres a mirror to the left of you on the cupboard. >Probably so you can look at yourself while you die. >That's very morbid of you. >Your usual pessimism isn't helping, you shove it to the back of your mind and grasp the small mirrior. >Despite your fingers seemingly losing their ability to grasp properly you bring it to your face and get a good look at yourself. >A few strands of electric blue hair trail down your face. >The white hair from earlier has returned, only now you realize its significance. >You are turning into a pony.
