Chapter 4: Metamorphosis
"Girls please!" shouted Twilight.
"But what's happening to them?" asked Pinkie Pie.
"I don't know. I'm going to go down to the library once we finish today's obligations if I have time. Apparently, once a month, we have a public outing. We walk the streets of Canterlot talking to anyone and everyone."
Shining Armor walked up. "Are you girls ready? Whoa..." He was left speechless at the sight of Rarity's wings and Fluttershy's horn. "What happened?"
"I don't know. I plan on going to the library tonight if I have time. Speaking of time? Can we go or what?"
"Oh. Uh... Yeah. Of course follow me."
As soon as they walked out of the castle gates, they were greeted with cheering and fanfare.
"Well this is certainly different. It's much better than the announcement. Don't you agree Twilight?" asked Rarity.
"I suppose."
"OH MY GOSH! This is just like a gigantic party!" exclaimed Pinkie Pie. With that, out of nowhere, she pulled a giant confetti cannon. She fired it and covered the entire area in multicolored paper.
'Well, at least someone is having a good time...' thought Twilight. 'Alright let's get this over with...'
Many, many hours later, the girls finished up their public walk.
"Oh my poor hooves! They're ruined! I'm going to need a hooficure for sure!" complained Rarity.
"Forget your hooves! My wings are killing me!" retorted Rainbow.
"Oh yeah! I forgot I could have flown everywhere! I will have to remember that for next time."
"Speaking of which... Twilight, weren't you going to run to the library to see if you can look up anything on our... changes?"
"I don't know if I'll be able to tonight. My hooves hurt and I'm dead tired. I'll do it first thing in the morning. If you girls want, you can meet me in the library and we can all look together."
"Okie dokie lokie Twokie!" said Pinkie enthusiastically. "That didn't work as well as I thought it would. Oh well!" She bounded out of the room.
"So ah'll see ya in the mornin' Twi. Try and get some sleep tonight, ok sugarcube?" said AJ.
"I will, thanks."
That night, Twilight felt she had the best night of sleep ever.

Twilight awoke then next morning with the sun streaming in her window. She casually got out of bed and walked into the bathroom, turning on the shower with just a though. As she walked by the mirror, she caught a glance of something.
Still half asleep, she shook her head and rubbed her eyes.
Wings.
Huge, magnificent, lavender wings.
But that wasn't all. Her horn had grown as well. Not just her horn, but her entire body. she was now the size of Luna, if not a bit bigger.
"What's happening to me?"
Spike walked around the corner rubbing his eyes. "What's wrong Twi- WOAH!" exclaimed Spike as he jumped back in shock. "What did you do?!"
"I-I didn't do anything! This has been happening to the others as well." I need to get them all gathered so I can figure out what to do."
Twilight ran out of the room, the shower still running. "I guess I'll use this then." said spike, walking into the water.

When Twilight got down the the throne room, the rest of the mane 6 were waiting for her, each one larger, and all had the traits of an Alicorn.
"I love my wings! They're simply marvelous!" exclaimed Rarity.
"They... They are quite beautiful Rarity." said Fluttershy.
"Naw ahm not quite sure what to do with these wings and mah horn. Ahm gonna stick to the ground for a while if that's alright with y'all." said Applejack.
"That's fine by me. I'm not going anywhere either. I have a headache bigger than the sky right now. So not awesome." lamented Rainbow Dash.
'Wow. They've all changed and grown.' thought Twilight. 'I need to find out why.'
"Girls, how are you doing with all of your, er... changes?"
"Ah think ah speak for all of us when ah say we have some adjusting to do."
"Agreed. My head is pounding right now."
"Ok. I'm going to run down to the library and see if I can look up anything that may tell us why we're changing."
And with a pop, Twilight disappeared in a lavender burst of light.
Author's Note- I'm sorry I've been running behind on this. My jobs and school are consuming more of my time then I would prefer. However, because I am cutting this chapter short, expect a longer one next time (whenever that is. Sorry.). YOu will not be disappointed, I hope/promise.
