That One Human

by Spin Art


Dream

Lorena and I hopped into bed. The lights of our room already turned off by the main power switch downstairs. I kept thinking about "Lyra." Crazy coincidence....

"Goodnight Lorena," I told my roommate. Turning off her IPhone and setting it on top of the fridge, she adjusted her covers.

"'Night!"

It took my a while to get me to sleep. It takes about thirty minutes for my brain to completely shut off. I tried thinking up "movies" in my mind that could make me fall asleep. Slowly and slowly I fell into a deep sleep.


I imagined myself outside of Ponyville. I really don't know why. I never get My Little Pony dreams. It was different. In Ponyville every pony began to run around in a hurry. A dash of rainbow sped by me with a roar.

Rainbow Dash.... I thought in awe. Rainbow Dash is my favorite pony, but my respect for her dropped by a bit from the pass by. How rude! Can she at least show off by maneuvering around me? Why is she in such a hurry? I begin to run after her.

"Hey! RAINBOW!" I yelled from a distance. I don't think she heard me from her being "awesome." Haha. As I began to draw closer to the town, there were wanted letters posted everywhere. They were all for Lyra Heartstrings. What was this about?

"LYRA! LYRA WHERE ARE YOU!?" some pony screamed as she searched. I turned to where the voice came from. It was from a pony who had a creme colored coat and a dark blue and light pink mane. It was Lyra's best friend, Bon Bon. Tears swelled in her eyes. "Please show up soon."


"Finally, I've found you," said a low voice that sounded like John de Lancie. Discord.... I looked around to find that monster being, but he wasn't in sight. Only Bon Bon was in my sight. But suddenly, Bon Bon turned her head around. Something was off about her though. The whites of her eyes were yellow and her pupils were red beads. She gave a smirk then dashed behind me in a blur. I whipped around. The being's monster was composed of many animals that I could list of forever.

"You need me?" I asked the rather tall draconequus monster, "why? I thought you are done with this craziness?" In the show, he comes to spread chaos in Equestria (again.) But after he learned the friendship of magic and stopped his doings.

"Me?" Discord scoffed and waved his lion paw, "chaos is a fun wonder! Why, out of everypony, stop my doings? I thought you would know me a lot, since you ARE a brony?"

I rolled my eyes and let out a deep gust of breath.

"I don't know as much as a hardcore brony because I don't make my life be surrounded by a show! That's just a waste of time," I paused, "how much do you know about me?"

"Hmmm, now let's see," he counted his eagle talons on his other hand, "you live in the Girls' Dorm at UCA, but you actually live in Portland, Oregon, a Rainbow Dash fan, friends with Lorena, Karly, Marijke, and Sarah-"

"Okay, you're done!" I stopped him, "but you're pretty good. I mean this is my dream that I can make you spew out stuff."

"A dream? A DREAM?" Discord cackled, "you know that one new girl in your school right? Lyra Heartstrings? She has been missing for a few days! Do you know where can she be found?" the being floated closer and poked my shoulder, "in your school! In the middle of the wheat fields!"

I stared at him raising an eyebrow, "why?"

"She was at the Ponyville well," Discord snapped his fingers and out of nowhere came a magenta chair. As began he to sit, he continued, "oh that wishy-washy unicorn, wanting to be a human! She has been throwing her bits [coins in Equestria] into the well for days! Lyra hoped to be a human someday! So I, a kind-hearted draconequus I am, decided to help her out. I came to her in a dream just like you and gave her the option of being a human! She took the option and woke up a human! I gave her the mindset of her going to UCA as a village student."

"Wow okay. So the point is?"

"Oh, just calm down. I was just being a nice Discord. But the reason why I'm here-" he got off his chair and then right after it made a small explosion just for random, "-is there needs to be an exchange, an exchange of the human world and the pony world. I bet you are the perfect candidate. Hmm?"

A wave of nerve wracking tension came over me. I didn't know what to say. Why was I a perfect candidate? It made sense though, she wants to be human then I must be a pony.

"But why you, you ask?" Discord grinned, "you do want to be a pony right? Make a grand adventure! Go through chaotic conflicts. Then you can tell all your bratty friends back at home right after and entertain them to your heart's content. Am I right?"

I wanted to blurt out that he was exaggerating, but honestly he was speaking the truth. (It was how he described my friends as bratty that made me angry.) Discord smirked and floated in circles around me.

"So what would be your answer, Ms. Gabby?"

I thought about it. I do want to be a pony. What happens when I transfer over here? I bet everyone in school would be wondering where I was. Marijke would be like Bon Bon. My family will be crying over me. The deans will be going to the police asking where I was. Then nationwide, I imagine, AMBER Alerts flash on everyone's TV screens. Yeahhhh... no.....

"Mmm... nah."

Discord suddenly grew angry. He clutched his fists and started flailing around.

"Ohhh! You are going to exchange no matter what-!" I began to laugh. Well he is so high and mighty now, "Ok! You know what? Here's the deal, sweets. Only you, your friends, Lyra should know about the alternate worlds."

"Okay? But why only my friends-?"

"D'ohh! I'm being nice here. If they spill any beans about a humanized pony on Earth, there will be chaos! Then I will finish the switch! More chaos will happen here in Equestria. Got it?"

"Deal," I crossed my arms, "so when are you going to bring back Lyra? I mean, she has to go back sometime."

"Oh when she decides to be a pony again. I bet that unicorn will keep learning about your world constantly! It will be a while. Heheheh," he chuckled. Discord looked at me in thought. He finished off and poked my forehead, "you can wake up now. I'm done with you."




BRRRRRRRR! My alarm went off.
