"Sweet mother of fuck.
 
I met with Celestia and Twilight after breakfast for some good news.  Celestia suggested that it was time for me to leave the castle and start living normally in Equestria.  Naturally, I agreed; being stuck up in this castle, hiding away from the public is really dull.  Twilight said that if I tried to go out in public as a human, there would be a mass panic.  Understandable I guess, but I became worried at 'as a human.'  Celestia presented me with their 'gift' that they were putting together:  a silver earring that would transform me into a pony while I wore it.  Needless to say, I was stunned.
 
A stab of a needle (which I totally didn't so much as blink at) later and I slipped it in.  My body started to cramp itself into the shape of a pony, surprisingly with no pain, and I opened my eyes to find..."

>You open your eyes and immediately notice your eye level below Twilight's.  You were currently laying on your side, having lost your balance in the change.  Twilight was good enough to hold up a mirror allowing you to look over yourself.
>Looking back at you was a stallion with off-white irises.  Your fur had a solid dark green color throughout with the same dull white mane and tail.  Your flank had no cutie mark, though you doubt you'll get one.
>What's really apalling about it is that you're not just an earth pony like you expected; you bear the horn of a unicorn and the wings of a pegasus.
>Twilight's jaw looks like it's no longer attached to her skull.  Celestia's eyes are wide but otherwise she is composed, and is the first to speak.
>"I don't...how did you...?"
...It's probably because I died, Celestia.
>She seems to be on the verge of tears for a moment, but then closes her eyes in a faint smile.
Well then...
>You try to stand but just flop over forwards.
>The next try, Celestia is by your side, providing some support.
>"You're like a little foal, eheheheh" Twilight was giggling as well.
>You glare at her and she stops. The lapse in concentration sees you back to the ground.
Damn it!
>"Language, little one!" Celestia's laughter picked up.
Fucking Trollestia.

"...I was an alicorn.  I guess having died before means I've ascended or something.  It's cool that I get to experience flight and magic, but I'm starting from the beginning.  You ponies reading this would think it's funny, but I can hardly walk.  Celestia is helping me learn; she says it's like trying to teach a little foal to walk.
 
Despite the jokes at my expense, I am grateful for her help.  Not just for helping me adjust to this new body, she has given me food and shelter since I arrived here in Equestria.  I've really started to come to respect her as someone genuinely concerned about my well-being.  My earlier suspicions have pretty much died off.
 
For now, I'm going to get to bed.  I get to have lessons in walking and running tomorrow...exciting...though I am looking forward to spending more time with Celestia, so there's always that plus."
