//------------------------------// // Night 2: Extras on Tap // Story: 8 Magic Nights // by The Blue EM2 //------------------------------// "Bye Tom," Jimmy called over to his friend as he set off into the distance, toward the Tower of Terror. He glanced back at Katrina. "Well, shall we walk together for a bit?" "Sounds good!" Katrina replied, and set off for her destination with Jimmy. The two walked around the side of Echo Lake, past the great big boat which served as a floating food venue, and on the other side of the lack was a gigantic dinosaur. Jimmy looked about, his mouth open in wonder, before Katrina suddenly pulled him aside and looked into his eyes. "How long have you had this?" she asked, her eyes on fire. She seemed cross, and her voice confirmed it. "How long has this been going on?" "What?" Jimmy asked. "What is this what you ask about, and more to the point how is this connected to what and this is the matter of which we speak?" "Do you always speak like this?" Katrina asked, pushing her glasses back up her face as they were on the verge of falling off. "Urgh. Fine. For how long have you been, you know... transforming into stuff?" "Oh!" Jimmy replied, his eyes suddenly filled with understanding. "You want to know how long I've been transforming! Well, I shall tell you. It started in 2016, on the 11th September, when I entered a strange classroom in a strange school. They did or said something very odd, and sure enough, I started to change into Sunset Shimmer. Then it all goes a bit foggy. There was something about Canterlot High school, a crown, and before I knew it I was back in my home in Manteo." Katrina shook her head. "So, something they did makes this stuff happen?" "Oh yes, it does," Jimmy sighed. "And it happens to me a lot. Here's a full list." Katrina shook her head. "We'll be here a while." Jimmy began to rattle off the list he knew very well, speaking rhythmically as if he had repeated this list many times before. "Princess Luna (three times, the first two in 2018, and the third in 2019), a batpony of the same name, Mystery Mint (an Equestria Girls background character), Coloratura, Suri Polomare, Photo Finish (Equestria Girls Character), Sunset Shimmer again, Princess Twilight Sparkle, Princess Skystar (Her Seapony Form to be exact), Queen Chrysalis (twice, first in July 2018, and then again in early 2019), Clawdeen Wolf, Cleo De Nile, and Lagoona Blue from Monster High, Pixel Pizazz, Violet Blurr, Lyra Heartstrings (the last three were all Equestria Girls variants), Valley Glamour (recorded by a friend of mine by the name of D.I.Scord), Sweetie Belle (Equestria Girls), Rarity (also Equestria Girls but of her Friendship Power form instead of her Regular Form), Then a string of Equestria Girls ones-Silver Spoon, Diamond Tiara, and Cheerilee, interspersed by Sapphire Shores, Cayenne and Pony Cheerilee, Somnambula Moonlight Raven, Sunshine Smiles, Citrus Blush, North Point, and Lily Love, plus Equestria Girls Fluttershy (another Friendship Power one). This was then followed by Cherry Jubilee, Watermelody, Queen Novo, and Equestria Girls Twilight Sparkle. That last one happened shortly before we came here, but I was back to normal in time." Katrina looked back again. "You said something about this sort of thing happening before. Multiple people being affected by your- ability, curse, gift, whatever. When was that?" "Oh, the Brentwood trip!" Jimmy exclaimed. "I went down to Brentwood, California, with my mate Troy Creed and Tom, who happened to be there already. But that's not the bit where it gets weird. The transformations all seemed linked, and all went off at night." "So, are we cursed to forever switch from being normal to fictional characters from a Hasbro show for the rest of our lives?" "I might be," Jimmy said. "I'm not sure if you are, Kat. But if you are, you get used to it, as I have." "Get used to it?" Katrina asked. "I was scared half to death last night! And Tom told me it was painful in his case." "Well, he did lose his-" "NOT OUT LOUD!" There was a pause, before the somewhat frustrated girl began speaking again. "Well, if it does happen to me on a regular basis, I will be seriously annoyed. OK?" "If you do get cross," Jimmy said, "focus all your ire on me. Live Tom out, OK? He's just as much a passenger on this ride as you are." "Right," Katrina sighed. "I need to be off for my ride. And to get some coffee. It's freezing here, and some caffeine would get my creative juices flowing. See ya, OK?" And she headed off before anybody else could say anything. Jimmy looked to his left, and saw his slot for the Indiana Jones Stunt Show had just opened. "Time to go in, I suppose," he said, unaware that as he walked off his socks were starting to creep up his legs. The queueline was so dark, nobody could see what was happening to Jimmy. His glasses vanished, as his shoes morphed into high top boots, and his jeans started sliding back up his legs, turning into a skirt that stopped halfway down his thighs. The sleeves on his shirt grew longer, stopping at his elbows, and a heart suddenly appeared on a string around his neck. "Wait, what?" he asked, watching in morbid curiousity as his clothes began changing colour. The boots turned pink, and the skirt a horrifying shade of pink with multiple layers. The shirt changed from blue to turquoise on the main body, and purple on one sleeve, with dark blue for the other. More hearts appeared in his hair as that began to pile itself onto his head, turning multiple shades of purple, blue and pink all arranged in a poorly coordinated mess of colours. This was soon followed by his skin turning yellow, his eyes blue, and his chest tingling. He groaned as he watched two lumps push out from his chest, stopping when they reached a small (ish) size. He had reason to stay feeling odd, as his manhood was sucked into his body. Well, moments after they were gone, I suppose it was her body. Her entire body then slimmed down, his shoulders moving inwards, followed by his hips popping outwards with a cracking sound. Finally, her feet shrank, to match her boots. "Now this is different," she said quietly. What was her name again? Oh yes, Supernova Tap. Or was it Zap? Anyways, she went into the seating pen, and took a side seat at the side of the theater, before her lying a boulder set rather like the one in the first Indiana Jones film. Tap saw little of the show, sadly, as she was drafted into the show as an extra with a dull role. All she had to do was to say 'aah!' when Indiana Jones and Marion Ravenwood leaped off a building whilst escaping from Ernst Toht's goons. Later on, she did see a pretty impressive explosion, but that was about it. Walking out of the show, her phone suddenly buzzed, and she went to answer it. Katrina: come to Toy Story Land, STAT! I've TF'ed again! No sooner had Supernova registered this information, she saw Rumble and Scootaloo wizz past. "Rumble!" she shouted. "What's going on?" "What does it look like to you?" Rumble retorted rhetorically. "I'm Rumble now, and I have no idea who Scootaloo was originally!" Scootaloo said nothing. Then she did. "Err, maybe?" she said. "I don't know who I am all the time." "Well," Supernova said, "shall we go to Katrina? She seems to need help, after all." They finally arrived at Toy Story Land. Out in the crowd was a woman with purple hair, shouting at a group of three people.
