P.O.V. Jack Donald.
“Anyone get the number of the building that crashed into me” I said groggily as I woke up. As I rub my eyes my hand feels furry and I catch the sight of red guess I’m still in my costume then. ‘Wait! My suit doesn’t feel like fur!’ I thought in panic.
My eyes snap open and I see my hand, which is red and covered in fur. I look round and see I am in a clearing in what seemed to be a forest. The clearing had a pond by the treeline and a few tree stumps that looked old. I walked over to the pond as calmly as possible, which is to say if anyone else saw me they would have said I looked like I was about to jump out of a plane to parachute for the first time.
When I got to the pond I saw my reflection and had very calm manly thoughts. ‘Oh my God I’m so adorable!’ I totally did not squee at what I saw. What I saw was a small anthro unicorn colt that had scarlet red fur and a yellow mane and tail and I two yellow lightning bolt patterns on either side of my horn going to my mane I was wearing a black fedora, a black coloured shirt with a collar, a pair of black jeans and an overcoat all of which I recognised as belonging to me. But what really caught my attention was the ring that looked suspiciously like the Flash ring from the New 52 comics.
Before I could investigate any further I heard the sound of growling. I turned around and saw something I thought I would never see, Timberwolves. I froze and did the one thing that seemed logical for someone to do, shout in terror. Yep totally a shout and not a scream. My new body should have hinted where I am but I guess I got distracted by how adorable I was.
My shout of terror seemed to be what the wolves were waiting for as the chose that moment to charge. When they were about 5 meters a way they pounced and everything seemed to go in slow motion I was froze in terror that turned to shock as bolts of purple struck the wolves sending them reeling and a purple mare was in-between me and the wolves. All of this was too much for me and I blacked out
P.O.V. Twilight Sparkle. Moments earlier.
I was running in the direction I heard the scream come from and when I got there I saw a colt with a terrified expression standing surrounded by Timberwolves about to pounce on him. When the wolves pounced I didn’t even think before I shot of several magic blasts knocking them back. Before they could recover I got in front of the colt and in the way of the wolves who had recovered and were snarling at me for getting in their way but fled as they knew they were beaten.
When I turned around I saw the colt was unconscious on the ground. I picked him up and teleported us out of the Everfree, to the hospital. Where a nurse was startled by my arrival.
“Nurse this colt was attacked by Timberwolves and may need medical attention.” That was all it took to get the nurse moving again. She took the colt from me and took us to a room where she lay the colt down on the bed and started checking to see if anything was wrong with him.
“What exactly happened?” The nurse asked me
“I was walking home from Zecora’s house when I heard a scream from this colt come from further in the forest. When I heard the scream I sprinted in that direction until I arrived just in time to stop the Timberwolves from killing him. After a scared the wolves away I turned to find the colt unconscious and I picked him up and teleported him here.” I explained to the nurse and I then asked “Will he be Ok?”
“I believe that the colt is fine, my examination turned up nothing and from what you told me I think he just fainted.” The nurse explain easing my worries. The nurse then asked. “Do you know who he is?”
At that question I looked at him and took in his appearance for the first time. He has red fur, a yellow mane that is all spiked up and a marking on each side of his horn that resemble yellow lightning bolts. His clothes looked like something Rarity would make. He wore a fedora, an overcoat, a black collared shirt and a pair of black jeans. All this told me this is somepony that I have never met. So I answered “No I’ve never seen him before he doesn’t look like anyone who lives in Ponyville. Those markings on his forehead are very distinctive.”
“Well them we’ll have to ask him where he is from when he wakes up I suppose.” She said sounding a bit irritated
P.O.V. Jack. The next morning.
I woke with a start and jolted upright. I had a nightmare that I was about to be eaten by Timberwolves in a forest and was saved by what looked like a anthro purple unicorn which is odd because I’ve never seen them in real life and I only tend to dream about things I’ve actually seen.
I look around and see that it was not a dream as I still have fur and the purple unicorn is asleep in a chair not too far from my bed. The room is seems like a hospital room which would make sense after what happened.
I look at the unicorn more closely and see that it is an anthro Twilight Sparkle. She is wearing a purple jumper that has pink stripes and a darker purple pair of joggers. It seem that I must be in one of those crappy Human to Foal stories on FimFiction.
I looked around the room further and saw a door that has the label of a bathroom, why did I note this? Because I was busting to go. I run over to the bathroom as fast as I could with wind rushing past my face. When I got over to the toilet I just let myself relax which caused me to realise something odd. ‘Wait, why did I feel wind rush past me as if I was sticking my head out of a car window.’
I finished relieving myself so I went to get a better look at myself in the mirror. As I look at myself I realise that my new face looks like the Flash’s mask when it has lightning running over it this causes me to look at the ring I had seen earlier. I got into a pose and put the hand with the ring out in front of me like Barry does in the comics. Nothing happened. I was at that very moment very glad the only possible audience I may have was sleeping.
I was thinking that I could be wrong until I remembered what was done in some of the comics. I tapped the top of the ring then put my hand forward and to my shock the top of the ring came off. The part of the ring that had come off attached its self to my chest followed by red fabric. When all the movement stopped I looked over my body and saw I was wearing a much better version of the Flash costume than the one I made. The costume looked exactly like the one from the New 52 comics.
When I looked in the mirror I saw that my fur had turned to the same colour as Caramel (The pony not the candy) then one thought beat down all my other thoughts. ‘Where did my clothes go?’ As the clothes I was wearing clearly didn’t fit under the suit especially the hat.
From the other room I heard the groaning of someone just waking up I’ll give you three guesses on who that was. No it was not the Snorlax from route 12. It was Twilight Sparkle. I look at the suit and started thinking about taking it off when it occurred to me that the comic Flash in the New 52 hasn’t shown how he takes off the suit so I did the one thing I could think of and tugged at the badge. Nothing happened so I panicked and tugged harder and accidentally twisted it which seemed to work as the suit retracted into the ring and the symbol shrunk back down and became the head of the ring.
I glanced in the mirror and saw I was back to normal. ‘Well normal for pony me anyway. Time to face the music.’
P.O.V. Twilight Sparkle
I had a very uncomfortable sleep in a hospital chair last night and I’m only now waking up. The nurses who had told me her name is Nurse Redheart told me that I should stay and watch over the colt and inform her of any changes to the colt’s condition. I blearily open my eyes open my eyes and see that the bed the colt was in is now empty. My heart started to beat faster and my breathing was getting faster as I looked around the room and could see no sign of the colt.
A door suddenly open and I immediately look towards the entrance of the room. That door was closed, so I looked to the other door in the room which is to the bathroom and saw the colt walk into the room, this caused me to sigh in relief.
P.O.V. Jack
“Good morning.” I said in a polite voice. What? Did you expect me to be absolutely crazy in my first actual interaction with a pony? Wait! My voice sounded younger, that’s not good I was going through puberty already does this mean I have to restart it or will I carry on from where I was? Wait, my voice sounding younger proves I will have to restart. ‘Why!? I already suffered through the start of it why do I have to repeat it’ I thought in anguish.
“Good morning” Twilight responded sounding relieved. She looked like she just avoided having a heart attack. It seems that when she woke up and didn’t see me in the bed she assumed the worst.
“Sorry I didn’t mean to panic you Miss, but if I may inquire, where we are?” I asked hoping to confirm my suspicions about being in Equestria.
“Um we are in Ponyville General.” She replied to my question and the asked one of her own. “My name is Twilight Sparkle, what’s yours?”
I quickly thought up a name that I would like to have and fits my appearance. “My name is Lightning Jolt. Now that we know each other’s names could you please tell me what happened that landed me in a hospital? I sort of remember being in a forest surrounded by Timberwolves and not much apart from that.”
