No longer human

Chapter two

Mikael moaned as he got up. The ponies were talking to each other. "Ow, my head... waitaminit... Talking ponies, but that's not possible! How can they do that?" He said out loud, maybe too loud. A cyan colored pony approached him and said "How we talk? That's a fine question coming from a monster like you!" "Calm down Rainbow Dash" A purple pony said. "I'm the monster? you are a winged pony, wait, are you a pegasus?" Mikael replied back. "Am I a pegasus? yes, of course I am, what else would i be?" "And there's a unicorn. And another pegasus. This is impossible!" Mikael continued, like Rainbow Dash hadn't said anything. Then the purple unicorn turned to Mikael and asked "Who are you? What are you? Why did you come here? Answer, I am the student of Princess Celestia herself." Mikael replied "oh yeah, Celestia, i have heard that name before. as for the questions, my name is Mikael, I am a human and I don't know why, or how for that matter, I am here."

The purple unicorn took a pause to think about what he had said. Then she said "Let me get this straight, you neither know how you got here nor where you are, is that correct?" Mikael replied "Yep, you got it. got any food? I am hungry as hell." "Not right here, but we can get some." Mikael was trying to get on his feet, when a pink blur appeared out of nowhere. At first he was startled, nearly getting out of balance, but then saw it was one of the ponies. She was handing him a cupcake, where could she have got that? Mikael took the cupcake and ate it. "Thanks" Mikael said, and the pink pony seemed very pleased. "Now it's my turn to ask questions. Where am I?" Mikael asked, followed by Weird looks from the ponies, except maybe the purple one. The purple one replied "You are in Equestria, the home of ponies of all kinds." "Yeah, I understood that, but Where am I? What planet, which dimension?" Mikael continued. The white pony started talking, sounding very confused. "We don't understand what you are talking about darling, what are a "planet"?" "A planet is a big ball of rocks or gas floating in space, usually around a..." Mikael stopped, noticing the perplexed looks on the ponies faces. "Never mind. Can i get some food, that cupcake was good, but not really filling." The purple pony replied "Sure, we'll get you some food. Can you walk?" "Yep, my legs are fine now."

Some time later Mikael found himself in a little shop, selling cakes and other treats. "Now, before we continue with the questioning, maybe we shall tell each others names? My name is Mikael, what is yours?" Mikael said. The ponies told him their names, although the one named "Rainbow Dash" seemed reluctant. "Maybe she is still skeptical of me" Mikael thought. "Know, what do you want?" Pinkie Pie asked "Hay fries, daffodil sandwich, cupcakes, I can make nearly anything!". "Daffodil sandwich? Yuck, I don't eat flowers! and what the heck is hay fries?"  Mikael replied, and Pinkie Pie looked sad. Mikael noticed that and said "I'm sorry, I've had a bad day, and the reason i said that wasn't because i think you are a bad cook, but because I really can't eat flowers. I'm sure you are a wonderful cook". Pinkie Pie brightened up. "So, what do you eat?" Twilight asked. "Bread and other baked goods, vegetables and fruit, meat" Mikael said. the group went quiet. "With meat you mean parts of animals bodies? good heavens, you can't possibly mean that" Rarity replied. "Well, I do". Mikael looked around to see how the ponies reacted. Twilight, standing closest, had an understanding look on her face. Rainbow Dash looked like she was now certain he was a real Monster. Pinkie Pie wasn't paying attention. Applejack had a horrid look on her face. Rarity fainted. Fluttershy didn't look like she was in anyway surprised or shocked, which was odd, as she struck Mikael as very shy, timid and easily shocked. surely she just hadn't heard him. "Would you like some apple pie" Pinkie Pie asked Mikael "Sure. we can discuss my eating habits after I have eaten, okay?". the ponies nodded, except of Pinkie Pie, which was already making that pie.

One apple pie and several cupcakes later Mikael was stuffed, even though Pinkie Pie ate half of the pie. "Now, to the subject of me eating meat. Listen, it's what i do, my species are supposed to eat meat. It's natural, in my world anyway. If being myself is wrong, then I want to stay wrong". The ponies were speechless. "Of course, I am not myself in any sense anymore, so that shouldn't be a problem" Mikael muttered under his breath, avoiding any of the ponies hearing. "So, do anyone have a mirror?" Mikael asked. "Oh, I do, I do!" Pinkie Pie shouted and wizzed away. A couple of seconds later she wizzed back again, with a small mirror in her hoofs. Mikael wondered how she could hold it with her hoofs. Mikael looked at his face with the mirror, or more correctly at his horn and the surrounding area. He saw that there had begun to grow red fur in the surrounding area. "Damn, looks like i have to talk to some of these ponies about this." Mikael said.
