—The next morning—
I woke up and went to the bathroom. I looked myself in the mirror. ‘Yup still freaky, I wonder, if I have a demon form, could I also be able to change into another form or two?’ I left the bathroom and went to the kitchen. There I was met by Rarity and Sweetie belle. I waved at them and went to get some coffee. I poured some into a cup and went to sit at the table. I said nothing and just enjoyed my black bitter coffee, oddly enough I enjoyed it.
“Good morning Alastor how did you sleep?” asked Sweetie belle. I put a hand up and put up an index finger and finished my coffee.
“I slept wonderful darling just wonderful, I haven’t slept that good since I died!” I said, making them both uncomfortable.
“How... nice” said Rarity. She was having a full English breakfast. “Oh, I just got finished with your new suit, it’s exactly like the original, only less..... ancient, your new suit is waiting for you in the changing room” She said.
“thank you, just let me sit back and wake up a bit” I said. I looked over to Sweetie belle. She was looking at me.
‘What is she looking at?’
“Alastor, what did you do to become a demon?” asked Sweetie belle.
“Same thing all demons did before they died, I sinned... a lot” I said to her.
“Ok, I get that, but what did you do that was so bad?” asked Sweetie belle.
“I was a serial killer and a cannibal!” I said as if it were nothing.
Rarity did a spit take with her tea. “What!?!” she shrieked.
“what did you expect? Did you think I just did a few naughty deeds here and there? No, to die and become a demon, you have to do a lot of heinous acts, which I have done” I said giving them my signature grin.
“You aren’t going to kill and eat anypony else are you?” asked Sweetie belle, getting a little scared.
“I made a deal with Princess Celestia saying that I wouldn’t hurt any ponies, so fret not little one” I said, making her feel a little better.
“I think it’s time we see how your new suit looks on you, can’t go around in a bathrobe all day” said Rarity, trying to change the subject.
“splendid lets go see, shall we” I said, becoming energized.
We walked into the the shop and Rarity gave me my suit then left me alone. I went into the changing room and took off the robe. I put on my pants and let my tail out of a hole in the back. I put on my shirt and suspenders. I put on my coat and tied my bowtie, I put on my boots and came out and summoned my microphone cane. I walked in front of the mirror to look myself over. ‘Hey, not bad’
“Don’t I look just dandy” I said grinning, and resting my hands on the front of the coat, kind of like a butler world sometimes do. I then thought back to what life was like as a human, then my smile disappeared as I watched my appearance morph slowly. My clothes changed into a pair of brown pants, a white shirt with sleeve garters, my gloves became brown, and my monocle became a pair of spectacles. My skin became a human shade of pink, my hands no longer had claws, my hair became brown in a brush forward style, my eyes became brown, my teeth went from all canines to incisors and molars leaving only a few canines.
I stared at my reflection.
(The One on the left is what he saw)
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!” I screamed.
Rarity and Sweetie belle came running in to see if I was alright. I looked at them. And they screamed.
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!” They screamed.
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!” I screamed back.
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!” They screamed again.
“WHAT HAPPENED TO ME!?!” I shouted hysterically and putting my hands on my face. I checked my pulse by putting my fingers to my neck. Nothing. ‘Ok, I’m still dead, but my voice has changed and doesn’t sound like a radio announcer and now I’m human’
“Alastor is that you?” asked Sweetie belle as she ran up to me.
“Of course its me, who else would it be!” I said in hysterics.
“What happened to you?” asked Rarity.
“I don’t know!?! I just turned into a human! I have never done this before!” I said, still hysterical.
“Can you try changing back?” asked Sweetie belle.
“I don’t know, but I’ll see if I can try” I said beginning to calm down. I began concentrating and began to change back.
I looked in the mirror. “Yes! I’m me again! But I wonder if I can control the change....” I said changing back to human form. “Alright, it seems I can control how I change, thats good” I said, putting a hand to my chin. I changed back to demon form.
“This new development is troubling, how could I change after putting on a new suit?” I questioned myself.
“I used the same fabric your original suit was made of, it couldn’t be what allowed you to change” said Rarity.
“Perhaps not, but I think the transformation, may have to do with my thoughts, I was thinking about how I was when I was alive” I said, looking to Rarity.
“That must be it! Can you change into anything else?” asked Rarity. There was a knock at the door. “Sweetie belle could you get that darling?” she asked,
“I highly doubt I can change into anything else” I said as Sweetie belle came back in.
“Hey Rarity where do yo want these” asked Sweetie belle as I looked over and saw her turn on two lights.
I began going into a trance as I saw the lights, and began to change into a deer. I began growing fur as my arms and legs shifted, becoming long and slender, and I dropped onto all fours as my hands and feet became cloven hooves. My face grew into a snout and my clothes became part of my fur. The fur on my stomach and chest leading to my chin turned dark red, as my back, along with my head and legs became a lighter shade of red. My ears matched how my hair was, and my antlers grew larger, My tail remained the same.
Then Sweetie belle turned off the lamps.
I shook my head and looked to Rarity. “Sorry I forgot what we were talking about......... Why are you staring at me?” I asked as I got out of my trance.
Rarity points at the mirror. I looked over to my reflection and was shocked. “when did this happen!?! I exclaimed.
“It started when I turned on those lamps” said Sweetie belle, as she turned them on again.
‘How could lamps do that, wait two lamps’
I looked at the lamps. “headlights” I said going into a trance. Then Sweetie turned them off. I shook my head.
‘Seriously!?!’
“The lamps look like Headlights? That’s what turned me into a deer? Someone must be messing with my life, well afterlife, and now I’m a deer” I said snorting air from my nostrils.
“You know, you look rather dashing as a deer, you might want to stay that way, ponies might be less scared of you if you do” said Rarity.
-Static- “You really think so?” I asked as I began looking at my reflection in the mirrors. I began grinning and noticed I still had a mouth full of sharp yellow teeth. ‘Well.... I guess I look kinda nice’
“Of course dear, you look handsome this way, Alastor darling ” said Rarity, giving me a kind smile.
“Alright, then it’s settled, I will stay in this form when I’m in public” I said smiling. “Now I’d love to stay and chat, but I have to be on my way, I have to prepare a few songs for the gala” I said beginning to walk away, only for Rarity to stop me and take a few measurements. -Static- “What are you doing?” I asked, looking at her.
“I’m taking measurements of your deer form, I had an idea to make you a suit for when you’re like this” said Rarity.
I stopped to think about what she said. ‘I kind of look adorable, I might look even more adorable in a suit, possibly even more appealing’
“splendid, just let me know when it is ready, but I really must go” I said walking out of carousel boutique.
“Of course darling I will let you know when it’s ready” said Rarity waving goodbye.
I waved back with a hoof and a kind smile and walked away.
