// 1. Sunset Shimmer 
// Story: Jimmy Hook Turns Into... 
// by Discord The Narrator 
//------------------------------//

Jimmy Hook was seated in front of his computer, checking things on his computer and taking the chance to read some stories on the Internet.

His bedroom was... It appeared as though the farthest corners of Equestria had made their permanent residence in his room. He had a lot of comics, books, DVDs, toys, plushies and more things related to My Little Pony and Equestria Girls universes. Obviously, that was his way for saying he loved them.

He had something else: everytime a new character appeared, he would put them on a list, which was his Favourite Characters list. Currently having more than one thousand, he wouldn't stop adding characters, both Male and Female. No matter if it was a villain or a good character, everyone would end up having a place on his list.

The most important detail was that, judging by most of the things in his room, his Number One character was Sunset Shimmer. A smile would appear on his face whenever Sunset appeared.

Anyways, after having spent some time on his computer, Jimmy decided to take a break and do something else, although he was a bit tired.

"Hmmm... I suppose I could take a nap. Maybe I could do something else later." He said.

He lay down on his bed, getting comfortable before finally closing his eyes, a plush of Sunset between his arms.







After a while, Jimmy woke up, his eyes feeling a bit tired.

"Water. It will help." He said.

He went to the bathroom to clean his face. He splashed some water over his eyes and looked at the mirror.

"What is that!?"

His hair looked a bit different. The color changed on some strands so now, instead of brown, it was a combination of red and yellow.

"How did this happen?" Jimmy thought, still looking at his reflection. "Maybe the plushie?"

He went back inside his room and grabbed the Sunset plushie.

"I don't think this did it, but..."

Jimmy rubbed the plushie over his hair and his clothes, but nothing happened. The plushie stayed the same as always.

He looked on the bath's mirror again, noticing a surprising thing: his hair kept changing its colors...

And it was also growing longer...

Jimmy shook his head. "It has to be some hallucination."

And then, he went outside to have some time around the town where he lived.







At some point of the day, Jimmy was walking when he saw people running on the same direction. Feeling curious, he asked a man.

"Hey, what's happening?"

"A house is burning! We're going to see if the owners need help." The man said. "Also, what's wrong with your hair?"

"Huh?" Jimmy remembered. "Oh, I don't know, I just woke up after a nap and it was like this."

"All red and yellow? That's odd. Anyways, gotta go!" The man said, running away.

Jimmy grabbed his hair so he could look at it, discovering that more strands had the other colors and that it was longer than before.

"Oh, wow... This is really weird." Jimmy thought.

And then, he ran towards the same place the rest of people were going to.

The man was right: a house was burning. Everyone gathered around as the flames engulfed everything.

"I called the firefighters! They're coming now!" A guy said.

"My daughter is still inside!" A woman exclaimed with a scared expression. "We have to save her!"

"It's too dangerous, Alice!" An older woman said.

With those flames, nobody wanted to risk their lifes before the firefighters arrived. Jimmy stared at the fire, unsure of what to do.

"Should I try to rescue her?" He thought, feeling nervous.

Something on his head told him to do it. With his expression changing like his hair, Jimmy ran towards the house, the rest of people yelling.

Some of them cheered Jimmy, while others were telling him not to enter. But Jimmy simply ignored them, finally going through the door.

"I hope he gets her..." Alice said.







Inside of the burning house, Jimmy was looking for the woman, avoiding the smoke.

"Hello!? Where are you!?" Jimmy yelled, without response. Did she faint? Was she...?

No, she couldn't be dead. She wouldn't be. Jimmy would get her before the fire did.

Opening a door, a few flames touched his right arm, and he got back while checking it.

"Wait... what?" His arm was intact, with no burn marks on it.

He looked at his entire body, seeing his right arm, his legs and his left hoof.

Wait, left hoof?

"Whoa! What's this?" He exclaimed.

Not only that, but his left leg was also starting to change, and his clothes were vanishing.

"Oh, wait, I think I got it. The Sunset plushie didn't leave any strands of hair on me, but maybe..." Jimmy said as his body kept changing, his skin turning yellow.

"Maybe it did this when I touched it..."

The remnants of his clothes scattered on the floor, revealing his ponified body.

"I suppose it had some magic, and that would be what's causing this."

A horn emerged from his forehead and a Cutie Mark appeared on his flanks, as a tail also appeared behind him. His ears also turned into pony ears.

"So, if I'm not wrong, I'm transforming..." He closed his eyes.

Her Adam's Apple cracked as her head changed to the one from a pony and her body bended, so now she was standing on four hooves, fully transformed.

Finally, eyelashes formed around her eyes, and she opened them, revealing that they changed to a moderate cyan tone.

"...into Sunset Shimmer."

In the middle of the fire, Sunset went inside the house's kitchen. Avoiding a chunk of the ceiling falling down, she reached the faucet used for cleaning the dishes, activating it and looking at the running water.

"Ok, I still remember one spell for this. Let's see..." She said, staring at the water.

Completely focused on it, she concentrated, finally conjuring a spell. Suddenly, the water flew over the entire house and dropped like it was raining. People outside stared surprised as the water extinguished the fire. By the time the firefighters arrived, there wasn't a single flame.

A while later, Sunset and the girl who was trapped came outside.

"Sarah!" Alice ran and hugged her daughter. "This is a miracle..."

She felt surprised when she saw Sunset.

"But you... are..." She said.

"I'm Sunset Shimmer. Nice to meet you." She extended her hoof, which Alice shook carefully.

"Well... Thank you so much for saving my daughter." Alice said.

"You're welcome." Sunset replied with a smile.

As Sunset trotted away, people cheered her.

"Oh, you make me blush." She said, giggling.

After trotting a small distance, she looked around.

"Hmmm... Maybe I could stay in this town for a while. But where?"

She saw a house and, looking through one of the windows, she noticed a plushie that looked like her.

"Meh, works for me." She smiled as she went inside the house.

And then, a black hair tie appeared on her left front hoof as she closed the door.





The End
