Twilight was looking at me in amazement. Rainbow Dash had tears in her eyes. (No doubt about to say that she had something in her eyes.) and Spike was clearly wondering about something that I didn’t know.
“Well… there is one problem with that.” Twilight said
“What do you mean? You were the one that suggested it. If you didn’t think it through you wouldn’t have suggested it.”
Twilight looked a little taken aback at these words and a little sad I think.
“I didn’t think that you would accept this plan.” She said
“It’s the only one we got. So what’s wrong with it”
“Well…. You remember how we said you were the first human we did a memory spell too?
“Yes…”
“Well. You are actually the first human here at all. Never has somebody from your world come here ever. So we have never tried any spells on them. We know that memory spells work on you. But we don’t know if any others do.”
I thought about this. I had thought that if I was able to get here then others would too. But then I thought. “If that were the case then where would they all be? They would have to be immediately sent home just for them to be gone a few days. Let alone if they stay here, then they would most likely just stay here. A few days here and you’d be long forgotten by everyone back at home. Also, you warm up to this place quite easily.” I sighed.
“Then I guess we need to experiment.”
“What!” Rainbow's tears immediately turned into a face of worriment.
Twilight continued to stare at me amazingly. “To go to these lengths for an adopted daughter. Have a complete species change. Even have a chance to die, just to be with her. It’s amazing” she thought
“It’s the only way. If we don’t try then I'll have to stick with this problem.”
As if on cue I began to flicker. I saw myself in the mirror and I had again turned into that low graphic glitch. I closed my eyes and focussed on Rainbow and home. When I opened up my eyes again I saw I was in that split dimension again. It seemed that the universe was going easier on me this time. It had tried to do it gently and quickly. As if it thought that after the time from the last time, I had reconsidered home and wanted to leave Equestria. I focused again and I could feel a strong force pushing me. After that, it realized that I really did want to stay there and tried to force me back into the human world. I tried with all my might to get back to Equestria. Eventually, I felt the force softening and eventually disappear entirely. I opened my eyes and saw I was sitting back on my chair with Dashie holding my hand with her hoof. I sighed in relief and hugged her again.
“Fine. Let’s go try some spells after I contact Princess Celestia and the others." Twilight said
I understood who she meant by the ‘others.’ She meant the rest of the Mane 6. But I thought “Why does the princess need to be contacted?” I didn’t have time to ask as while I was wondering spike was already breathing fire on a royal letter. A few minutes later a bright light was glowing in the middle of the room. I could make out the shape of the princess, who I expected. Along with 4 others. When the light faded I was in the room with Princess Celestia. All the bearers of the elements of harmony and a baby dragon.
“Howdy, Twilight. What did ya need?” Applejack said
“Hi, everyone. I don’t think you know this but Devon is fluctuating between the Human world and Equestria" Twilight said
“Excuse me?” Rarity said
“It’s true. We have a plan but we might need your help.” Twilight said
“Yay... What do you need?” Fluttershy said
“We need to find a spell or potion that will turn Devon into a pony.”
Everyone was looking at Twilight in amazement and confusion.
“Did I hear right? You’d like to turn Devon into a pony?” Celestia asked
“Yes, but don’t worry. Devon already consented to allow us to experiment on him. Which is where we need your help. We need him to not be any different than he already is if we have any hope of completing these experiments. Fluttershy you would be helping take care of him. Applejack you would provide any spare food, Rainbow Dash, if he gets sick then you would rush to get a doctor. Rarity, since we are testing potions as well as spells, then you and Spike would look for ingredients.”
“And what am I here for?” Celestia asked
“You have more extensive magic than me and I would greatly appreciate it if you could help us with the spells.”
She thought about this for a few minutes and then nodded.
“Ok.”
“You’ll help?” I asked amazed
“Sure. Your family of one of my students. Plus I see how you and Rainbow get along.”
I smiled brightly at all of them.
“Thank you. Thanks to all of you. I won’t forget this.”
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Next Day ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I had been transferred to a testing lab in Canterlot, along with the rest of the 6. We were to begin our first experiments on me in 3 hours. I had already wrapped up everything with the others in ponyville in case something went wrong. I had my fingers crossed hoping nothing did. The testing lab had a few bedrooms for test subjects and they were all extremely comfy. The Mane 6 and I all had different bedrooms, But before Rainbow went to bed, she had wanted a story as I reminder of what our life used to be before Equestria. So I did and I went to my room to sleep. The next morning I woke up to complete silence. I was surprised at this since I thought that testing would begin early in the morning. I got up and got myself ready for the day. But when I opened the door out of my room I immediately heard noises of experiments. They were just loud enough for me to cover my ears, but not loud enough so that you get hearing damage. I went to the room that Celestia had said we would be doing the experimenting in. Once I got there I got a sense of deja vu. I opened the door and I saw Twilight, Celestia, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Spike. I smiled and they all smiled back at me.
“Hey, everyone. Are you ready?” I asked
“Yes, Though I have to say, I don’t know why I have to be here for this part? I thought I was just here to find potion materials?” Rarity asked
“I already told you. We have no idea what ingredients will work on him, so if we discover any that do we need you to go and get them.” Twilight said
“Hmmph. I don’t understand why Applejack isn’t here either. Aren’t her friends important?” Rarity said
“Of course she thinks we are important. But she does have a job. In fact..” I looked at Rainbow Dash and Rarity “I thought you two had jobs to do as well? Don’t you need to go do them?” I said
“Both Rainbow Dash and Twilight insisted that I stay here. They said my job was ‘Essential’” Rarity said
“It is! If we don’t have the right ingredients than we can’t do anything with potions for the entire day. Just spells and that’s only if Twilight and Celestia don’t get exhausted.” Rainbow Dash said
“Oh.” Rarity said
“And what’s your excuse Rainbow? Your job isn’t essential and you captain the weather squad.” I said
“You are my dad, so you take my attention. Besides I they can get along without me for a few days.”
“So they are okay with you taking the next few days off?”
“Of course!”
I sighed and thought “I hope you know what you are doing, Dash.” I looked up at everyone.
“So what do you need me to do?”
“We just need you to start trying out some potions and seeing how they react to you. And soon enough you can go sit down and we will try spells on you.” Celestia said
“Ok.”
Soon enough I was trying out potions. All of them had the same effect on me as they had on ponies, except for one. That potion they called was ‘divina replicationem.’ i asked what that translated to and apparently they said it was Latin for ‘replication divine’ you can probably guess what it was supposed to do. It was meant to make a duplicate of me so that while I'm trying out potion ingredients they can try spells on the duplicate. After an hour or two of potion testing, I got up and sat down in the chair. Soon enough Twilight’s and Celestia’s horns were glowing brightly. They tried levitation spells and morphing spells. The levitation spells worked, but the best that the morphing spells could do was make me shorter, taller, my face change shape and make me grow more hair. They couldn’t do anything to the inside of my body. They were just about to give up for the day when I said
“How about, instead of changing my body, you could change my actual DNA. Is there a spell for that?” I asked
I looked at Celestia and it was obvious that she didn’t think about something. She bowed her head a little
“There is, But the spell could do serious damage to you if not used properly.”
“I’m prepared to risk it. Besides we have two of the most powerful magicians in Equestria in this room right now. How bad could it go?”
“Are you sure you want too? This is one of the most dangerous spells in the world. It’s dark magic that is hidden away. Nobody but me and Luna knows where it is.”
“I’m sure.”
She was clearly struggling to make an argument but she saw I had my mind set on this so she said. “Very well.” she teleported away.
She was gone for a good half hour before she came back. I looked at the book she had in her mouth and it was titled ‘Occulta de Tenebris Magicae’ She put it down on the table where the potions had been.
“There it is. ‘Occulta de Tenebris Magicae’ or more commonly known ‘The Secrets of Dark Magic.’” Her voice was a little higher than usual and bitter. She sighed and said. “I thought this book would never see the light of day. But if your sure who am I to stop you.”
She used her telekinesis to flip the pages to the spell she was looking for, but the entire book was written in Latin. Even Twilight was having a tough time reading it. But Celestia seemed like she was reading a particularly ugly book written in English. Soon enough she closed the book, but her horn continued to glow.
“Ok, Devon just relax and I’ll try using this on you," Celestia said
I took a deep breath and laid back in the chair. But the chair was near the door which had a mirror on it. She was about to shoot the spell when Rarity went in, the spell bounced off the mirror and hit Rainbow Dash.
“DASHIE!!” I yelled. I ran to her and saw that she was growing and her limbs were changing into a more human form. Soon enough an adult girl with rainbow hair was in my arms.
