"uhh" groaned Lyra in an expression of discontent at her current state of awakedness.
Her eyes eventually pried themselves open to reveal the charred remains of her basement ceiling, she had just remembered what happened last September. The mare with fogged over vision instinctively rubbed her eyes to bring herself to full awakedness. Once her vision had cleared, Lyra made an important revelation.
"HANDS! I HAVE HANDS! THANK DEAR CELESTIA I HAVE HANDS! WHY ARE THEY GREEN!? WHY ARE MY HANDS GREEN?!? OH DEAR CELESTIA WHY ARE MY HANDS GREEN?!?!" Lyra belted in a volley of mixed emotions ranging from pure euphoria to complete shock and horror. Bon Bon's slumber had no chance against such a scream, and as a result the yellow former mare woke up.
"Lyyyrraaaaa please don't shout this early" She grunted, not yet realizing the complexity of the situation they are in. Once Bon Bon's consciousness caught up with her vision she let out a terribly high pitched screech of shock "AYYYIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Lyra what have you done to us!"
After recoiling from the shock the two former mares now had a chance to look at each other. Lyra noted that the creature she created while not human completely was also not Bon Bon excluding the yellow skin, blue and pink curls and trademark death scowl. "NO, this can't be right." said Lyra as she rushed to her anthropology books to more closely examine the differences between the humans of her dreams and the abominations she had created.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS CAN'T BE RIGHT LYRA, THE SPELL HAS OBVIOUSLY TAKEN ITS EFFECT?!" nagged Bon Bon "No Bon Bon" Lyra explained "My spell was interrupted so the transformation did not completely happen." Lyra displayed one of the coloured images in her book "You see, humans only tend to have at most 8 different skin tones, what we have are strange pony-humans where the skin is the colour of our former fur" Lyra continued while flipping through more pages continually pointing out small differences that hasbro decided to change after I had already made this portion of the fic
And now for the continuation
"Lyra what the result is doesn't matter" Bon Bon reminded her housemate of her one rule regarding magic "what matters is can you reverse it." Lyra responded offencively "Well Bon Bon I could have but because the spell has changed so drastically I really don't know how" Lyra then used her new apendages to point at her blank forehead "And if you haven't noticed I don't have a horn anymore!"
"Wait!" Bon Bon exclaimed in a moment of realization "If you don't have a horn, then what will happen to the pegasi who live in the clouds." The two girls shared a non-verbal message of, "Let's postpone this bicker session until after we know hundreds of ponies/people won't die". They then rushed out side, coincidentally Bon Bon noticed how useful hands were at opening doors in away only unicorns could do in the past.
Luckily they were able to bare witness to the first of the pegasus accidents as one of the "local heros" ,as Lyra sarcastically refered to the elements of harmony, Rainbow Dash fell from the sky and crashed semi-saftley in a tree.
"OW OW OW OWWWWWWWEEEE THAT HURTS!" the now anthromorphed pegasus squealed as she untangled herself rather undexterously from the tree. "Oh my Celestia" Bon Bon exclaimed "Rainbow Dash are you OK". "Yeah I should be fine what-ever-your-name is, by the way do either of you know why we all look like this."
Bon Bon being more ignorant to the lack of recognition she recieved from the element of loyalty replied "Well Lyra here decided to mess around with dangerous magic and somehow transformed Celestia knows how many ponies into this". "HEY" retorted Lyra "It's not my fault the spell failed!".
"Well since you made the spell" Rainbow interupted "can you tell me why I can't seem to fly anymore?". Lyra took the oppurtunity openly to share her knowledge of humans with someone other than Bon Bon "Well you see, Homo Sapiens-" "Are you calling me gay?!" Rainbow interjected "What? no why would you think that?" Lyra continued " Homo-Sapiens have a solid bone structure that cannot sustain flight." Rainbow's face lit up in shock at the last three words uttered by the green mare/woman "WAIT YOU'RE TELLING ME i CAN'T FLY!?!?!? TELL ME YOU KNOW HOW TO REVERSE IT" Rainbow reacted while trying to forget about her fears of never being able to join the wonderbolts for lack of flight ability. Lyra saddened and down-trotted replied "sadly no." Rainbow frantically thought for options "We need to get you to Twilight NOW!"
Lyra and Bon Bon were then rushed to the Golden Oaks Library as fast as Rainbow's new legs would take them. Upon arriving they noticed that the Elements of Harmony excluding Loyalty were already at the library. "Well there ya' are RD." obsevered Applejack "we were wonderin' when you'd show up, who're yer' friends" Applejack said noticing Lyra and Bon Bon. Bon Bon took the oppurtunity to introduce her housemate and herself to the Elements of Harmony while Lyra observed their surroundings not wanting to seem to apreciative to the attension hogs of Ponyville.
Suddenly a barking was heard eminating from behind Twilight, Lyra noticed this barking was coming from a purple dog with a green underbelly and immedeatly assumed the worst. "NO SPIKE!!" Lyra cried as she assumed one of the only creatures she enjoyed the company of besides Bon Bon ,mainly because he had thumbs, had had his hands removed and replaced with paws a disability Lyra wanted to cure for all of Equestria. "Wow, I didn't think you'd be so torn up about him." said Twilight.
With Lyra's fears and mistakes seen she proceded to swallow her pride and explain to the heros what she had done. "I must contact Princess Celestia at once" said Twilight and now with a down-trodden tone "Except now I don't know how"
A bright light flashed and then a voice appeared from the center of the circle the girls were standing in "That will not be necessary"
