She was waking up again
“Ugh. What happened?” she reached her forehead and noticed her arm. “Ahh!! What Happened?!?” Said the human Rainbow Dash
“Dash, calm down. You got turned into a human. We can reverse it.” I turned to Celestia. “We can right?”
“Most likely. But again we don’t know if this spell works on humans.” Celestia said
“JUST DO IT!”
Celestia looked at me in surprise, but I didn’t notice as I was paying attention to the human Rainbow Dash that was in my arms. But as that was happening I could feel a force that was more powerful than I have ever experienced. I figured this was the universe fixing itself again. But this time I could still hold onto Rainbow Dash. She was flickering as well. She looked at me scared and worried.
“Dad? Is this what was happening to you?” Rainbow asked
“Yes, but don’t worry you can beat it. Just focus on what you love most in this world and concentrate on that thing.”
I watched as she did what I said. I didn’t close my eyes and I saw us sliding back into the human world. It was like looking at an old film projector in slow motion. I realized that Rainbow was slipping out of my grip and I couldn’t hold onto her. I figured she was heading back to Equestria. So I closed my eyes and focused on Equestria. There was no particular thing I loved in there except for Dash. So I just focused on everything. I knew I was going to get a headache the next day but I didn’t care. I needed to stay here. Soon enough I could feel Rainbow in my arms again. I opened my eyes and I saw we were back in Equestria.
“Celestia! Please hurry and change her back!”
I saw her horn glow and hit Rainbow. She was changing back and soon enough she was back to normal. Well… Normal for this place. I hugged her tightly and said
“I thought I was going to lose you.”
“I’m staying by your side from now on.” She hugged me with her hooves.
After we broke apart I saw Celestia laying down panting. She looked exhausted.
“Whats wrong?” I asked concerned. I then went over to Celestia and helped her back up.
“Using that much magic took quite a toll on me. I don’t think I’ll be able to do any more magic for the day.” Celestia said
“You mean we found the correct spell to turn him into a pony, but we can’t administer it today?” Twilight asked
“Exactly.”
“Figures.” I sigh “Celestia, I am not blaming you. Far from it, you saved my daughter, it just sucks I have to deal with the universe again. It seems to be getting more powerful against me."
“Yes. I’m sorry.”
“Don’t be. Just let your magic restore and we can try again tomorrow.”
She nodded and soon we went back to our individual rooms. But Rainbow was still slightly shaken up from the experience, so she asked if she could stay with me for the night. I said “Sure” and we went into my room. I was tired even though it was 3 in the afternoon. I’m assuming that Dash was too as she flopped down on my bed and curled up. I smiled as I remember how she used to do this when I first found her. I turned out the lights and went to bed and fell asleep.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------2 Hours Later --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I heard a knock at the door as I slowly opened my eyes. The knock was persistent. I sighed as I got up and went to open the door. I opened it and went outside so I didn’t wake Dash up. When I did I saw who was waiting for me. It was Fluttershy.
“I came as soon as I heard. Is everything Ok?” She asked in a silent panic. It was amazing that she could be shy even when panicking.
“Yeah, everything’s fine,” I said as I kneeled down beside her. “Are you ok?”
She looked like she had flown here. I knew she wasn’t that good at flying so I was amazed that she had. In fact, we were in Canterlot which is quite a ways away from Ponyville. So I was amazed she was able to get here this quick at all.
“Y-yeah. I’m f-fine.”
“You sure? You look tired. Come on inside and have some sleep.”
“Really? Thanks.”
She came inside and I went and grabbed some blankets and a pillow for myself. I let Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy have the bed while I took a nap on the bed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------3 Hours Later -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I woke up and saw that the other two were still sleeping. I smiled a bit and I decided to make us all some dinner since we haven’t had any lunch. I was going to make us all some scrambled eggs and toast when I saw something in the fridge that I would never have expected to be in there. As you know all of these ponies ate plants and stuff like that. Never meat, so I had to rely on supplements for my protein, But when I looked in the fridge I saw some beef sausages. I had completely forgotten what it tasted like considering that I hadn’t eaten meat in the past 16 years. The first 15 were me taking care of Rainbow and the last 1 was because I couldn’t bring myself to eat meat since she left. But I thought, “Maybe I could just make myself one?” I looked around and started to cook one of them. I finished and ate it. I cleaned up after myself and made those two some dinner. For some reason, I wasn’t hungry anymore. I figured it was due to that meat. I shrugged and finished making it. Once I was done I decided to see if they were awake. When I opened the door I saw Rainbow and Fluttershy whispering to each other frantically.
“Hey, you two. I made your dinner.”
They jumped at my voice and they both looked just slightly scared. I looked at them confused and crossed my fingers that they hadn’t seen me eat that sausage. I gulped slightly but sighed to myself in relief when they got off the bed and went and ate. They both smiled at me and I smiled back. I went and took a shower. I finished and after we all went to bed again. But to my little knowledge Rainbow and Fluttershy weren’t tired at all. They had indeed seen me eat it. They had smelled me cooking it and cracked the door open a little bit to see what I was making. That’s when they saw me eating it. They were terrified that my meat eating instincts were kicking in and I was going to eat them as well. That’s what they were whispering about. But they didn’t want to let me know they saw me, just in case I needed to kill them in order to keep my cover or something like that.
----------------------------------------------------------Next Morning at the Experimentation Room --------------------------------------------------------
“Ok, Devon. Are you ready to be turned in a Pegasus? I’m warning you there is no turning back now.” Celestia said
“I’m ready.”
Celestia’s horn started to glow and she hit me with that same glow that hir Rainbow yesterday. Only something was wrong. I didn’t feel any different. I looked at my arms and say they were normal with no changes at all.
“What happened?” I say as I looked at Celestia
“I don’t know. Hold on.” She looked at the book where she learned the spell and then she said “The person that is being transformed must have the same innards as the thing they are being transformed into. They must also have the same diet as said thing.”
I immediately began to sweat and I opened my eyes in shock and terror. I had to come clean that I had eaten meat last night. If I didn’t they would find out eventually and lock me up for keeping such a potentially dangerous secret hushed up from them.
“Um… I might have broken that diet rule last night.”
“How so?” Celestia asked
I was about to answer when suddenly Fluttershy burst out “ HE ATE MEAT!!”
