Chapter 4
Transformation
________________________________________________________
Energy leaves my body, I fall limp to the ground shaking a bit, everything becomes blurry, Immediately I'm picked up by Rainbow-Dash and Fluttershy, everything is fuzzy, I close my eyes and pass out.
I am standing in front of a mirror looking at it. Suddenly the shadow appears behind me. I turn to charge at it, and it dissipates in front of me. I look frantically around and I feel the dark presence fly through me knocking me down, making me lose my energy. "Who are you!" I scream out. The shadow stops and he seems to gain color. The shadow's coat turns a into a light brown, with dark brown hair and dark eyes. The stallion looks at me and says "I am what you are becoming. Soon your Human body will be taken over and I will be in the picture. Now I know what you're thinking, I am evil. No I'm not, I am just what you will become very soon. Everything fades away and the words 'very soon' echo slowly.
I open my eyes to hear mumbled voices, understandable, but not knowing who is talking. "What in all of Equestria is going on here? I feel myself being placed on a table. "I don't know, he just jumped out of bed and ran outside, he was sweating profusely. I followed him out there and I saw him talking to Rainbow-dash and he just passed out. He was saying something about a nightmare." I groan and shift a little on the bed. My energy is so depleted right now, I wish this was just a dream.
I feel myself being lifted up, but I can't move whatsoever. "What in Celestia's name.." The voices become less muffled as I hear Twilight speak. "There are small light brown hairs growing rapidly on his skin." I get the strength to move my head slowly to see. "Dean?" all I can do is lightly groan. "He's so weak, Twilight can't you do something?" Rainbow-Dash says.
There's a knock on the door, Twilight opens it using her magic, and in comes Pinkie, Rarity, and Applejack. "Oh my goodness, is Dean alright?" Rarity asks immediately. Pinkie walks over to me "Dean?" I slowly turn my head to her and look at her, She saddens and hugs me. "Don't worry Dean, we will help you." I try to smile, she smiles back. I get layed back down, and I close my eyes once more.
"I hope you are ready Dean." "For what?" I ask the, I guess, soon to be me. "The transformation." "Why is this happening to me?" "You will know soon enough." "What?" Then he disappears and the floor falls from below me and I fall.
I jump up off the table, startling everyone, guess I should start saying every'pony' now huh, I stand and I feel pain surge through my body, I fall on my hands and knees, stifling a pained yell. Suddenly my hands slowly morph into hooves, A tail shoots out of my backside. I start to yell loudly as wings fire out of my back. I look over to them to see their shocked faces. I mouth the words "Help me..."
A lot of changes happen painfully, my legs and arms morph into the legs of a ponies, and my feet turn into hooves also. My whole body morphs into a stallion's. I groan and fall to the ground and pass out once again.
"The process is complete Dean, you are now a pegasus." "W-what? Why?" The human version of me walks up to me, I look at my hands which are now hooves. "I am not needed anymore, but I will always be here." He points to my heart. I yell out "But, I didn't ask for this!" He shrugs, "Sorry Dean, Its too late, Goodbye for now I doubt our paths will cross again soon." He starts to fade into the darkness behind him. "Noooooo...!" I charge toward him but it's too late he's gone. "Don't worry about me Dean, Just go and enjoy you're new life." I start to cry softly, "I don't want this.." I hear another voice coming from the darkness "Dean, come on wake up now." Pinkie Pie steps from the darkness and holds out her hoof. I smile and grab her hoof. and everything fades.
Silence, is all I can hear opening my eyes from that strange nightmare. Looking to my right I see a pink pony laying on a couch, "Pinkie Pie?" Her hair is laying flat which is odd. She leans her head up, "Dean? Dean! You're awake!" She runs over and hugs me tightly, I hug back. As we pull away I look at my hands, totally forgetting what happened hours ago. My eyes widen as I stare at my hands, which are now hooves. "I-It wasn't a dream? No.....no....please...no..." My eyes fill with tears, "My human body...gone..." A tear falls from my cheek. Pinkie looks at me with a sad face. "Don't cry Dean, please, I don't like it when my friends cry." Pinkie's says as her eyes slowly fills with tears.
The others walk in and see that I am crying. "What's the matter dear? Rarity asks. I look at them my face wet with tears. "I didn't ask for this, Why did this happen to me?" Pinkie hugs me again, "Why won't this nightmare end? Why can't I wake up from this dream and appear back in my bed." More tears flow from my eyes, "Dean, you do know you are not dreaming, right?" Twilight states the obvious. I look at her and squint my teary eyes at her. "I know it's not a dream Twilight, I wish it was so I wouldn't be here." "You want to leave?" Pinkie says as she stares at me with tears in her eyes. "Well.." I start to say but it is immediately cut off by the pink pony yelling, "NO DON'T LEAVE! I DON'T WANT TO LOSE A FRIEND!" She holds onto me and she looks at me tears falling down her face. "P-Please don't leave." I sigh, I feel horrible now.
AppleJack pipes up and says "C'mon y'all lets leave Dean alone to his thoughts... C'mon Pinkie." She shakes her head. "No I can't leave Dean, I'm afraid I won't see him again if I leave." She squeezes tighter almost too tight but I don't complain, this pony really cares for me, I can't leave, I don't want to break her heart. "She can stay guys its okay." They nod and walk out. I look up at the Pony on top of me hugging me tightly and I put my hooves around her and smile.
After what seems a few minutes she finally gets off of me and wipes the tears from her eyes, I lean up and grab her hoof and hold it, "You know what Pinkie, I don't think I can leave." She stays silent. "I can't leave because well, I'm not human anymore, and.." I pause and she looks up at me our faces inches apart, "..and I can't break the heart of this beautiful pink mare in front of me." I smile.
She blushes a little, "So you won't leave?" "I can't if it means I am breaking the heart of friends that care for me." She smiles and puts her hooves around me. I hug her back meaningfully, I'm beginning to think Pinkie likes me. Her hair poofs back into a big pink poofy thing and she smiles, which in turn makes me smile too.
I look out the window to see it's still the middle of the night. "What time is it?" I ask. Pinkie shrugs, "All I know Dean is that it's sleepy time." She yawns and she gets up to go. "Where you going Pinkie?" I ask "Bed." she replies groggily. "Why don't you stay here Pinkie?" "Really you wouldn't mind that not at all?" "Not at all." She climbs into the bed and lays next to me, "You are really sweet Dean, you know that?" I blush a little and hold her hoof, "No I can't be that awesome, I'm just a simple dude, well stallion, I'm not special at all..." She puts her hoof under my chin and brings it close to her face.
"You're special to me..." she says with a small smile and she leans in and plants her lips on mine softly and kisses me tenderly. I close my eyes and enjoy the feeling, It's amazing to kiss her she tastes so sweet, like sugary cookies. We finally pull away and she says "Good night Dean." "Good Night Pinkie." She pecks me and she squeezes my hoof and we close our eyes and go to sleep.
