Megan becomes the Melody

Megan's P.O.V

It's that time of the month again! Going shopping with my parents at our local Wal-Mart. Not my most favorite thing, since I'd rather stay at home and play some Minecraft, which I don't care for. So many little kids on the servers going "OH MY GOD, THAT WASNT FAIR!" or "HEY, THAT WAS MY GOLDEN APPLE!" Just, oh my goodness, it's all you see in the chat, and that's why I don't care for the game.

I know those were lame examples but I have a huge headache right now, so cut me some slack. Anyway, we're here now, searching for a parking spot in a sea of cars, trucks and vans. It took some time, but dad finally settled on a spot towards the back where nobody parks. Great, now it's a three mile trek to the front door!

"Hunny, don't forget we need to get a present for Logan's sister, since it's her birthday today!" My mom said as we exited the black SUV, putting on her fur coat that cost at least a thousand bucks. I wonder where she got the money for that thing.

"Oh, you mean the one who turned her brother into a unicorn from the cartoon Megan likes so much?" Replied dad with a snort as he closed the driver door, the sun glistening off his slick, black hair. I blushed from embarrassment, he always picks on me for watching that show, and I think it's rediculous since its a really good show, too.

"Also the one she made out with while he was one?" Mom snickered, moving her auburn hair out of her teal eyes, while we made our way to the front door. They always do this when we're out and about, and I hate it. I pull my hood on my hoodie up farther to hide my face. Guess kissing a pony really upset them, because after I told them the whole story of being there last year, they told me to stay away from Logan for a while.

Why did I tell them that part? I didn't mean to, I messed up, okay? Anyway, it's been a full three hundred and sixty five days since then, and now they joke about it. They always seem to talk about the most embarrassing things about me in PUBLIC!! I wish they wouldn't, but each time I brought it to their attention, they tell me to stop being such a cry baby.

I give a heavy sigh as we enter the store, the air instantly going from hot to cool as we walked inside. I stay a few paces behind while mom and dad continue to gossip about me kissing Logan last year. Parents do anything to be annoying to their children, and they don't say sorry until something bad actually comes from it. I bet Logan's sister went and turned him into Vinyl Scratch again.

So, the first thing they're buying is the gift for Tara, and I bet they don't even know what they're going to get her. Probably something My Little Pony related, even though her room is like a warehouse full of MLP merchandise.

"Seriously! That's just so...so weird!" Mom said to dad just above a whisper. They always try to hide it, but somehow I heard it over everybody else, and since they're at least ten feet ahead of me.

"Couldnt she wait until after he changed back?" Dad said back to her, taking a glance at me.

"Maybe she just likes ponies in that way, you know?" Mom giggled, taking a glance at me as well, and I've had enough.

"Could you guys please stop talking about this!?" I barked at the two, storming up to them. They turned around in surprise since I hardly raise my voice. "And no I don't like ponies like that, you sicko!"

"Megan! Watch your mouth!" Dad snapped, giving me a stern look.

"Well, it pisses me off you guys always do this to me! Gossiping in front of me about really embarrassing things! Especially when we're out and about! It was last year that happened can we forget about it, please!?"

"Megan, lose the attitude, now! Or you're staying home today!" Mom yelled getting in my face, making my ears fold back underneath my hood.

Wait...

Reaching a hand up, I felt around for my right ear, where it should be. I felt nothing.

"We are your parents! You listen to us, you hear!?" Mom continued to yell in my face.

Still feeling around, I came across a little stub on the top of my head. Now I'm concerned, because there's that and a matching one on the other side.

"Mom, I...I need to go to the bathroom."

"No! I'm lecturing you right now!" She grabbed tightly onto my arm. "You don't tell us what to do, we tell you! Say you're sorry or...." She suddenly stopped mid-sentence.

"What is it, mom?" I asked curiously, pretending my ears aren't what they are right now. How can she see them anyway?

"You...your eyes...they're purple, they just changed color!" She lets go of my arm.

"Hunny," dad started up. "That can't be possible...but then again..."

"Theyre getting bigger too!" Mom said sounding a bit worried, taking a step back.

That's it.

In a split second, I ran past them, and bolted for the back of the store, past all the food aisles, and such. I'm not sure what's happening, but of my ears changed as well as my eyes changing color and getting bigger, to me it can only mean one thing. I hear mom and dad as they shout for me to come back, and based on the distant litter patter of feet, they're chasing me.

Once there, I darted into the small one person bathroom, with was luckily being un-used, shutting Tue door, locking it behind me.

"Megan!" Mom shouts, pounding on the door. "You are sooo grounded!"

My heartbeat is at a severe high right now. I'm not exactly sure what's happening to me, but I'm about to find out.

I turned my head to look into the mirror to see a pair of very familiar looking purple eyes staring back at me, with those long eyelashes. I prepare for the worst as I gripped the lining of my hood in my hands, taking a deep breath before pulling it back.

Ears. Two large, grey pony ears spring up from my head.

"Gah!" I fell back, landing on my rump, against the wall, along with an immense stinging sensation.

Totally freaked out right now, I slowly stand again, looking behind me to see I've grown a tail. Long and grey with several white pin stripes running through it, and why does it look like...oh no. Being severely stressed right now, I ran my hands through my hair, but it felt thicker for some reason. I looked into the mirror again to see a neko version of Octavia. I'm turning into Octavia fricking Melody!!

"Megan, what are you doing in there!?" Dad asked, knocking on the door.

I don't answer since this is where I start hyperventilating. It's so ironic too! Logan turns into Vinyl, so I turned into Octavia!

"Megan!"

I sat on the toilet, holding my head in my hands, only to find they aren't hands anymore. They're hooves, and this is where my bones begin cricking and cracking due to changing shape, as well as fur starting to grow out all over my body.

"MEGAN!!"

I lay in emotional agony as my transformation slowly comes to a stop, and I become a small earth pony who lives with a DJ and plays the chello, wearing oversized clothes.

"I'm sorry..." I uttered, do to the fact that they might not accept me being a pony all of a sudden.

"Megan, please. We're sorry, okay? We'll stop talking about it. We know you just ran in there because you're stressed seed about something." Said dad. Unlike mom who only cares what she thinks, dad actually looks into things, to see how people feel.

With another heavy sigh, I pull myself out of my pants, but I leave my hoodie on since it actually fits perfectly now, since it was tight on me before. Next I reached into my pants pocket, fumbling with my Jew hooves, trying to get my phone. It took me a short time since I changed to lifting the pants upside down, making it fall out, where I them placed it in my hoodie pocket. I have to say, being a pegasister, I've always wanted to know what being a pony was like, so I guess this is my chance. I just hope my parents don't get mad or anything. With a deep breath, I stood over by the door.

"Megan...did you fall into the toilet?" Dad asked sarcastically.

"Just promise me one thing." I said flatly.

"Whats that?" Mom deadpanned.

"Just don't...don't freak out on me."

"Why would we...?" Dad begins to ask as I unlocked the door, and pushed it open. "Oh." I watched as his eyes rolled into his head, and he fell backwards, unconscious.

Ok, this story is awesome and I love it, but here are some errors:

We know you just ran in there because you're stressed seed about something.

Stressed seed?

my Jew hooves

New hooves (unless that's intentional, which in that case its both funny and slightly offensive. just slightly)

[ferret]

So many little kids on the servers going "OH MY GOD, THAT WASNT FAIR!" or "HEY, THAT WAS MY GOLDEN APPLE!"

Hey now, considering how difficult it is to get a golden apple, that's practically justifiable homicide!
Death pit next to a nether portal, with an item hopper. pigmen pop out who drop gold nuggets.

fumbling with my Jew hooves

Auto-correct, huh?

AWESOME!!!!!

[Silvernighter]

...and plays the chello

It's cello, no h in there.
Megan's dad seems cool, mom - not so much. And of course the parents going to embarrass their kid to the point of irritation-borderline-rage. It's part of their job.

[Vinyl-ScratchDJ17]

6461875 I meant new XD

[TheDriderPony]

Hiya! Not a bad chapter! ^_^ If you still need a beta-reader, I'd be happy to take the job. Also:

I'd rather stay at home and play some Minecraft, which I don't care for.

She'd rather do something that she doesn't like? Or is it meant to be sarcasm? Also, it may have been a while since I read the original story, so how old is she meant to be again?

[DoctorTHUNDER]

I like it! Keep it up. Also, I'd love to beta read for you. I'm up for the job if you still need help.

[BOBtheman2000]

Got an image for this chapter?

[Knightwolf1875]

Oh this is going to be very good, and I wonder if Tara really knows...She's to young to really understand what she's done. Oh boy this is going to one wild ride.

[Lonestar_Pony]

Has this story been put on hiatus? If so that would be sad, I'm really looking forward to the next chapter of this wonderful story.

[Dimmed Star]

"Why would we...?" Dad begins to ask as I unlocked the door, and pushed it open. "Oh." I watched as his eyes rolled into his head, and he fell backwards, unconscious.
