//------------------------------// // Who said only three? // Story: Three's a charm // by Silver Sea //------------------------------// Who said only 3? I didn't realize what was going on until something hard smacked me in the face. I looked around and saw some clouds sparsely placed through the sky. Wait... SKY? I raised my head and found a sight  I never imagined was possible. I was a pony. On a cloud. Huge WTF moment there. I looked around for the thing that smacked me, but all I could see that was abnormal were two black dots getting farther away and screaming. SCREAMING? I rolled of the cloud and pulled my arms... hooves!? To my sides and plummeting to earth. Normally, I would never do something like this, but it just felt natural. Like walking, or breathing. I looked back at myself and saw two... things coming out of my sides. They were large, feathery, and... SWEET JESUS I HAD WINGS! I gave a few test flaps and found that I flew faster downwards while flapping. Wait, WHY DOWN? AHH! Oh, yeah, dots. Less of dots now, more circles. Still far away. I flapped harder and the circles grew bigger. Bigger. Bigger. I could see them clearer now. They had faces, and one had something sticking out of it's head. Like Twilight! I had never seen much of the show, only the first minute of the first episode. Then my mom walked in, called me gay, and my brother Jonah vouched for me. He watches it full time, every episode, reads stories, listens to the music, all that. Even Rule-34 stuff. I saw his iPod once. Sheesh, that boy needs to get a room. Anyway, he would love this. Becoming a pony, and flying. Even I was loving the flying. Now I was in arms range of the dots, and I could clearly see that they were also ponies. I swooped down and put my hooves on their backs and surprisingly held them without an issue. I pulled up and flew straight forwards. "Why were you falling?" I asked. "Well, honestly, I don't know. I woke up a few seconds ago, I'm still dazed." The horn-thingy answered.  "Hey, is that you, Watson?" "Wait, are you Sam?" "That I am. Who's this big lug? He's heavy." "I can't be sure, but I think he's Austin. He has the same sort of face." "I know that this is gonna be weird, but I know what we are." "Wait, you do?" *One minute and a short discussion later* "And, that's why Bronies aren't gay. And, I'm not even really a fan of the show." "Pretty gay, man. Pretty gay." "Shut up. Okay, here's a town. We can land there." "Why are you so calm about this? We wake up in weird bodies, in a weird world, and you're all Mr. Calm and collected?" "Apparently so." As we approached the town, I descended and finally landed in the square. The first thing I noticed was the number of ponies looking at us. I realized that they all had the butt-mark thingies, and that we didn't. One walked out from a group and approached us. It was that one I saw in the first episode! Umm... Twixie, no... Dawn, no... Oh yeah, Twilight! "Hello there. Looks like you could use a hoof." I now realized that we were still hovering a few feet off of the ground. A pink glow shimmered from her horn-thing and around the normal pony-person. I dropped Watson on the ground and landed myself. I went over to where she laid the normal pony and slapped him once or twice with my hoof. I'm still not used to that thing. His eyes opened and he spoke. "Oh, jeez. Not these things."
