Uni…Uni, wake up!
A boy named Uni woke up to the sound of a familiar voice in his head. He slowly opened his eyes to the bright light. His vision blurred for a bit before they readjusted and he could see clearly again. He suddenly found himself on a bed. He looked up to see a familiar face that had always been with him since the day they met.
This figure was triangular in shape. He was color yellow throughout on his triangle form. He had black arms and legs. He wore a black bowtie and top hat. He had one eye.
“Ugh…Bill, what happened?” Uni groaned as he sat up.
“You tell me. We went through that portal and…hang on…what just happened to you?”
Uni looked down as he noticed his hooves were no longer hooves, but hands. He let out a scream from the surprise. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing. He never had hands before. In fact, he just thought he had grown tentacles on his hooves. He looked down and noticed the change in his hind legs as well. They were now longer. How did this happen? He was about to panic again when Bill snapped him out of it.
“Uni, you must keep it together!”
The boy took a deep breath before sitting up. “What does the rest of me look like?”
“Mostly you, but not you” Bill then noticed something else. “Since when did you change into clothes?”
Uni looked down and noticed that as well. “I have no idea”
“Is everything okay?” a voice rang out.
At the sound of the voice, both looked over to the source when they noticed the door nearby was opening. Uni made a gesture to Bill before the creature hid himself in the boy’s head. Uni then stood defensive, quite afraid of who or what was going to show up.

Sunset neared the door of where she was keeping the boy she found at the statue. She wondered how he was able to get through the portal without the security of the guards or Princess catching him, but she was more concerned as to how he just fainted. Well, that wasn’t a surprise. The first time when you make contact with the portal always was the worst. She got worried when she heard a scream and she made her way upstairs. The rest of the girls were in her living room, waiting to see what was going on. She told them not to go with her as it may startle the boy so much.
Finally, she opened the door and peeked in gently. She looked over and saw the boy was awake, alright. But he stood rather defensive as he sat on the bed. It was fine that he was awake, what was not was how he was acting towards her.
“Hello, Uni” she spoke gently with a warm smile.
It only made him tilt his head in confusion. “How did you know my name?”
Sunset was quite surprised to hear that. But then again, she didn’t recognize the ponies with their human counterparts here the first time. She sat on the bedside, making him face her.
“It’s me, Sunset, Sunset Shimmer”
Uni looked surprised before he felt at her face, as though for assurance. Sunset giggled a bit when he did this. She remembered he used to do this whenever he was trying to be sure it was her.
“Sunset? I can’t…is that really you?”
She nodded. “Who else would it be?”
Uni smiled as he let happy tears stream down from his face before he pulled in Sunset for a tight hug. Sunset only giggled as she returned it. It had been so long since she last saw him. She didn’t know how he got though the portal with all the security guarding and all that. But she just wanted to enjoy the moment.

“So, that’s everything you all need to know about each other” Sunset finished giving all the details from each side.
Quite after a reunion with Uni, she had to explain a few things where he was and why he transformed. Pinkie went in the room and kinda scared him a bit. She had some explaining to do. It took some while to help Uni get down the stairs to meet with the others. It took even more strain from the girls to not overwhelm him with so much at once. She then had to explain everything about Uni to them.
Uni was actually Sunset’s childhood friend back in Equestria. Before they met, she explained that his own parents were killed in an accident and was raised by a dragon that found him. By the time he and Sunset were twelve, they first met. She befriended him and he was later on adopted by her parents. They were very close. Also, her past behavior was caused by when her parents forbade her to see him one day and sent him away.
“So that’s why you were so cold to everyone” Rainbow mused.
Sunset nodded. “When Twilight calmed me down with Equestrian magic, I began to miss him”
Uni and Sunset looked at each with a smile.
“So, I guess now is a good time for introductions” Rarity spoke up.
Sunset nodded. “Of course. Uni, these are my friends. Meet Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Rarity. Girls, meet Uni”
“How’re you’re doing?”
“Howdy”
“Heya!”
“Um, hello”
“Nice to meet you”
Uni waved with a smile.
“So…” Sunset fidgeted on her sleeve. “Um, is anyone hungry or…?”
A low growl came from Rainbow, Applejack, and Uni. They blushed in embarrassment. Sunset giggled as she went for the phone. “I’ll go order some pizza; you guys get to know each other”
They all nodded, Uni waving to her before she left. She waved as well. He then turned around to meet with the others again. They all looked at each other, a bit nervous.
“So…how’s it hanging?”

“Pizza’s here!” Sunset called to the others as she entered the room, carrying boxes of pizza in her arms. She was a little surprised at what greeted her when she opened the door.
Uni and Rainbow were arm wrestling on the coffee table. Pinkie and Applejack were cheering them on. Though, the farm girl was massaging one arm with the other. From the sidelines, Fluttershy was just watching worriedly while Rarity had little hearts in her eyes as she looked on.
Sunset giggled as she sat beside Fluttershy after the setting the pizzas down. The yellow girl moved a bit to give her some space.
“What’s happening here?” Sunset asked.
“Uni and Applejack were arm wrestling a while ago while you were away. Uni beat Applejack. Then Rainbow challenged him, so, now they are…” she nervously looked at what was going on.
“Applejack looks pretty beat up” she noticed how the farm girl still tended to her arm.
“Uni was so strong, and she kept trying…and then…” she whimpered.
The orange girl sighed before she pat the yellow one’s back to calm her down. Fluttershy always hated violence, even if it were just minor. Her confidence was boosting slowly, but the violence was still one to work with. The worst thing for her was getting a spotlight shone on her when she was performing with the band. But that’s was just the girl she was; always hated when people got hurt.
“And there! I win!” Uni cried triumphantly after pushing Rainbow’s arm down.
The athlete just stared, eyes agape while her hand pulsed red with her blood. She shook it off when it went back to normal. “Rematch!”
Uni smirked when she shouted. He positioned his arm infront of hers again. Pinkie then put their hands together and spoke. “Ready, set, GO!”
And they were off again.
“He’s so muscly…” Rarity purred as she watched Uni. “…and strong…”
Sunset swore she could see the hearts coming out of her head.
Well, things went pretty well. After Rainbow had a seventh round of arm wrestling lost by Uni, she had conceded, but promised she would be back for more soon. They all then settled down for pizza. Sunset had quite a while to teach Uni how to eat it by using his hands. And after much discussion, they all agreed that Uni was to stay at Sunset’s so she could help him get acquainted with the human world. Luckily, she had a guest bedroom all set up for him to stay in. The rest of the group then bade goodbye before returning home.
“If you need anything, my room is just down the hall” Sunset told Uni after helping him get up the stairs and into his room.
“Thank you, Sunset”
“Goodnight, Uni”
“Goodnight, Sunset”
He listened as Sunset’s footsteps grew fainter and fainter, until they were finally gone. He felt a sudden surge of energy in him suddenly break out. Then, Bill Cipher was out of him.
“She’s cute” the creature mused.
Uni blushed slightly from that. “Bill, we discussed this. She’s just a friend!”
“The red on your face says otherwise” he seemed to be smirking. “So, who’s gonna win her in this game of passion? I’d like to see you both runaway together”
“Bill, no”
“Bill, yes”
