Angel Star's POV
Huh, I pictured this day to be more of me relaxing today, not me and Margaret trying to hide from a bunch of angry towns ponies. Gosh darn it Margaret! Why did you have to think up of such a stupid idea? Huh? Oh right, your still here. Look if you wanna know what happened here, I'm gonna have to start from the beginning. So you better sit back and relax, because this might take a while.
It started off like any other day. It was early morning, and Margaret was still in bed while I was reading one of my spell books downstairs on the couch. Yeah, Margaret's not much of a morning pony. Anyway, while I was looking through my book, I noticed this one spell in there that I couldn't stop reading about. It was a spell to turn normal ponies into bat ponies. "Ooh! This looks really interesting." I said.
The spell wasn't even hard to do, in fact it was very simple looking. I was thinking of trying it out until I read one passage from the book that caught my eye. "Be careful, this spell may only last for a day, but other ponies might think your an actual bat pony and might want to hurt you. You have been warned." I read.
Now I didn't want to try it. As much as I would love to be a bat pony for a day, I didn't want an angry mob coming for me just because I looked threatening. I was about to put the book away, when I saw Margaret heading downstairs. Wait, I thought Margaret doesn't get up at this time. What gives?
"Morning Margaret. What brings you down here so early?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I decided to change my sleep schedule, so last night I slept at around the same time you did." She explained.
"Why?" I asked.
"Just in case if I want to do my pranks early in the morning." She said with a smile.
"Well, alright then." I was about to put the book I was reading away, when Margaret decided to ask me something.
"What book is that?" She asked.
"Oh it's just one of my spell books that I was reading from." I answered.
"Ooh! Can I see?" She said excitedly.
I couldn't risk her finding the bat pony spell, mostly because of the havoc she would cause if she were to turn into one. So, I tried talking her out of it, "Sorry Margaret, but this book has a lot of advanced spells in it. Plus, I don't want you going around misusing them." I said, as I was trying to put the book away for the third time.
Before I could, however, Margaret lit up her horn and grabbed the book from me with her magic. "Hey! Give that back!"
"Oh come on Angel, I'm just going to take a little peak." She said, with a smug grin on her face.
I decided that maybe it wouldn't hurt if I let her read it for just a second. "Fine, but make it quick!" I exclaimed, with an annoyed look on my face.
"Awesome!" Margaret started skimming through the pages as quick as she could, until she was on the exact page I was at and started looking through it. Her eyes widened as she found that particular spell I didn't want her finding. "Oh my gosh! There's a spell in here that can turn you into a bat pony?" She asked excitedly.
I was not gonna let Margaret transform into a bat pony just so she could pull her pranks. "Yes, but I know what your thinking and the answer is no."
"Aww come on! It'll be fun! You can fly, have sharper teeth, hang upside-down from trees, and did I mention that you can fly?" She said with a smile.
"As much as I want to fly around Ponyville looking like a bat pony, the answer is still no." I said crossing my arms.
"Why not?!" Margaret whined.
"Because it says in there that other ponies might mistake us for actual bat ponies!" I exclaimed.
"And thats bad because…" Margaret said, motioning her hoofs for me to go on.
I facehoofed and said, "Margaret, don't you think that the townsponies would try to oh I don't know, hurt or capture us if they see us like that?!" I exclaimed.
Of course knowing Margaret, she just shrugged off my warnings, and tried to convince me even more of why we should be bat ponies for a day. "Come on Angel, it only lasts for a day, plus if you do it I'll give you some cake." She said, wearing that smug grin again.
I tried to resist, I tried saying no, but whenever cake was involved…
"FINE! Alright I'll do it! We can be bat ponies for the day ok?" I said frantically.
"Yes!" She said victoriously.
"That cake better be a darn good cake Margaret!" I said, looking at Margaret with a frown on my face.
"Don't worry, it will be the best cake you'll ever have!" She said reassuringly.
"Alright, hand me the book so I can cast the spell."
"Ok!" She said, handing the book over to me with her magic.
"I am so going to regret this later." I said, with a worried expression on my face.
"Oh relax Angel! After all, what could possibly go wrong?" She said happily.
Many things Margaret, many things can go wrong. Also, of all the things that could come out of your mouth, that just had to come out? This can only end so well...
I read what to do, and cast the spell on me and Margaret. A bright light overtook both of us as we were transforming. I began feeling the effects of the transformation taking place. I could feel two appendages coming from my back, which I assumed were wings. As the light faded from both of us, I didn't feel any different at first, but when I looked over at Margaret, I saw two large bat-like wings coming from her back. Thats not all, for she also had pointed ears, fangs, and her colors were darker than usual, she even had golden colored eyes instead of her regular orange colored eyes. I assumed I looked similar, but with some minor differences like my eye color.
She looked over at me, and started to smile. "Wow Angel! You look just like a bat pony, and your eyes are all red!"
I knew it!
"So do you, which means that the spell worked." I said with a smile, though I was mostly thinking about the cake I was gonna get.
"Awesome! Now let's go prank some townsponies!" She said, as she was heading out the door.
Before she could head out, however, I stopped her by going in front of her and said, "Hold on Margaret! Now I just want to tell you two things before we go."
"Oh, what is it now?" She said with an impatient look on her face.
"One, your doing the pranking, not me. Number two is try not to go too overboard with the pranks ok?"
"Yeah, yeah ok! Now can we please go now?" She said impatiently.
Not wanting to hold her up any longer, I moved out of the way and we were out the door.
