//------------------------------// // In a world of talking miniature equines // Story: Forever in Equestria? // by DawnShine_ //------------------------------// You felt yourself being hurled into a void-like area and enter a sort of space in between two dimensions. You were levitating and was surrounded by a vast expanse of what seemed to be like a collections of all the stars in the known universe. You glance behind you to see where you had previously been and saw a muted coloured mist of blue and green. You then look in front of you and was caught in a bright glare of what seemed to be an array of every colour that had ever existed. You're vision ebbed away and initially began to blur at the edges, before blurring entirely. You feel a very odd sensation as you were engulfed entirely by the glare then, all went silent and dark. "Helloo?...Are you okay?...What have I done?..." is all you hear in your unconscious state. It echoed in your mind and at the end of each sentence, the speech got softer, before becoming silent completely. The voice was oddly familiar, bearing a striking resemblance to a certain person or rather, creature you knew all too well. Your eyes open weakly and you feebly attempt to lift your head but instead fail to do so. Your heart dropped as you saw the being that was in front of you. You were staring right into a set of pale amethyst pair of eyes that belonged to a certain lavender coat alicorn. "Oh thank Celestia, you're alive!" you hear the mare speak in an excited yet relived tone, whilst letting out a sigh. "I am so sorry! If I knew there were pegasi flying in the area, I would have never cast a spell like that," you hear the pony speak. You were beyond bewilderment, now utterly clueless to what the mare was talking about. "Princess?" is all you manage to say in the midst of your quizzical state. "Oh of course. Where are my manners? You obviously know me but umm, I am Princess Twilight Sparkle," she began introducing herself and now had a sheepish grin on her face, trying to look friendly. "C'mon Twilight, he knows who you are already," a new voice spoke. You glanced around you and was surprised to see the source of it was a small purple and green dragon. "Spike, as a princess, I should formally introduce myself to other ponies. Besides, its basic manners," Twilight spoke, reprimanding Spike. "Okay, okay. And wasn't your spell supposed to send things from some other dimension here? It looks like it didn't do much other than setting off a huge blast and grounding a pegasus," Spike began to question. "It was a high frequency, concentrated velocity, accurately calibrated algorithmic amniomorphic spell to be exact Spike, I explained this to you earlier remember?" Twilight said. Wait...a blast? You then began glancing around, down to the ground you were on and true enough, you were currently lying dead centre, in the middle of a huge patch of scorched earth, charred by some kind of explosion. Some mist still rose, indicating that it was radiating heat, which was only a fraction of what it was previously exposed to. You then began to rub your eyes with your hands... Wait, what the... Your heart then started racing, you realised that both of your hands had transformed into some kind of stubby looking broom-end. An amber, fiery coloured fur had now covered almost every square inch of what seemed to be your new hooves. You then look further than that and saw that you had entirely transformed into a cartoon horse, complete with a broad snout, long ears, a mane and tail that was white and had a grey stripe running through it. The only clue that might suggest that you were once a human was the shirt that wore in the previous world had somehow, (by the powers of the all-knowing portal) conformed to your new body. The shirt was a black t-shirt that had the words 'BRONY' in a contrasting white, bold, capitalised letters and the image of your favourite multi-coloured pegasus printed in white. It was printed proudly on your torso, clear for anybo-anypony to see. The piece of clothing stretched beyond your chest and was somewhere behind your neck ending just before your... Wait, hold on, what did she say earlier? A pegasus... You then realise you felt an odd pressure on you back. You then craned your neck, attempting to look at your spine and you were shocked to see what was there. A pair of wings had now sprouted out from your back. You recoiled in horror to see your new body part and your jaw jittered away in fright. "I...I...I'm a PONY?!?" You stuttered then screamed at the top of your lungs. The only consolation was that your voice had maintained it signature deep pitched style. "Uh Twilight, I think your spell may have more than just downed a pegasus..." Spike said, pointing an index claw to his head then, began spinning it in a circle. Twilight glared at the small dragon with a look that could almost rival Fluttershy's 'Stare'. "Umm, are you really okay? Do you require any immediate medical attention? I could arrange for you to be transported to the nearest hospital right now," Twilight spoke, glancing at your figure from head to hoof, obviously concerned about your well-being. "No, no, I think I'm okay..." you said, trying your best not to freak out. "What's this?" Twilight asked and you see her lower her neck to the ground and quite literally, stuck her snout into a container that laid on the ground. The fur on your body momentarily stood on its end, before relaxing as you let out a sigh of relief. You would have definitely at least been banished from Equestria, or thrown in a dungeon, or banished you and then throw you in a dungeon in the place that you’d been banished to, if you had been caught with any sort of meat the inhabitants of the world you were formally in consumed. "Is this spaghetti?" Twilight enquired, looking at you with a raised eyebrow. "You've eaten spaghetti before?” you asked Twilight, somewhat amazed that the pony even knew what spaghetti was. "I've only heard about it, and that it is made some country far away" Twilight answered, still sniffing the contents of the plastic container. Thank Celestia you were a vegetarian, and you had bought the meal from a place you found that made the vegetarian equivalent of the dish. If it did have even the smallest meatball in it, the consequences would have been quite grave. "You can have it if you want, I'm not hungry anymore" you say, offering Twilight the food. "No thanks, I'll pass," Twilight replied, smiling sheepishly, kindly declining your gracious offer. "Spike, would you like any?" Twilight asked, now holding the container in her magical grasp and levitated it in front of the dragon. "I prefer gems but, what the heck", Spike said, shrugging before hold the container in both his claws. He then brought it up to his face and nostrils then, took in a good and long whiff of it. "Smells deli...delici...deliciou...ACHO!" Spike sneezed loudly. A stream of luminous emerald flame shot out both of the dragon's nostrils, engulfing the entire container in the blaze. The container was concealed behind the fire and when it dissapated, the container had disappeared. "U...oh" Twilight, Spike and yourself said simultaneously. "Uh...Twilight...I think I just sent the spaghetti to Princess Celestia," Spike said, twirling his claws together, obviously nervous. "Yes, I know that Spike" Twilight replied, head hung low and expression resembling a stone wall. It was clear that she was trembling but from what, you were not sure. You then quickly assumed it was out of fear and moments later, you were proven correct. "We need to get to Princess Celestia now, are the both of you clear?" Twilight asked in a stern and commanding tone. Her question was soon met with a frantic nod from Spike and yourself. "My magic is worn out from the spell earlier and you are in no condition to fly right now so, we're gonna have to take the next train to Canterlot," you hear Twilight giving instructions. Oh this was going to get interesting.
