Perth, Australia

"THIS IS THE FIFTH TIME THIS MONTH I'VE COME IN HERE AND YOU'VE GOTTEN MY ORDER WRONG" 
I could tell I might have been a bit hard with the guy, but I'm so sick of getting take away and asking 'is everything in the bag', and they say yes and you check and no, everything isn't in there.
"SO WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?"
I can tell my yelling is causing a commotion, but I don't care. Then, out of the corner of my eye I see the fruits of my yelling; The Manager.  There is an old proverb that fits this situation well 'He who complains loudest gets what they want' (I know sad, but true).  The Manger asks me what the problem is and I explain in a calmer voice that my order had been screwed up again, and I was sick of it. The Manager apologised and gave me a voucher for a free meal. Satisfied with the results I went home to eat. I sure can be a monster if I don't get what I want.


Back at home. There's nothing like it after a hard days work and after yelling at random cashiers, only my brothers home at the moment as my parents are away on a holiday in Bali for the next 14 days.
"Hey Alex, I've got McDonalds"
"Hell Yes" 


After Dinner my brother went to his room to play DOTA with his friends online, while I stayed up and finished writing up my histories for the day



Wagnesday
06:30am
Perth, Australia



"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"
I jump out of my bed and run to the sound of the scream, its coming from my brothers room. I knock and open the door saying, "Hey Alex wants all the yelling fo......' 
I stop what I'm saying and stare not at my brother screaming but at a magenta coloured pony screaming its head off while staring at its hooves. I bend over and pick up a random object to threaten the intruder. It's a thong  (or Flip flop for you Americans). I give a sigh and the point the thong at the pony and yell "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU AND WHERE IS MY BROTHER."  
The pony stops screaming after hearing me yell at it, it then says "Tim, it's me Alex"
It takes me a second to register what the pony just said. So, this pony is Alex, and judging from the sound of its voice he appears to have turned into a mare. When that clicked, I burst out laughing. I know I shouldn't be laughing at my brothers misfortune, but what's happened has me in hysterics. After laughing non stop for a couple of minutes, I wiped a tear away from my eye and looked at my brother, or is it sister now. No, this is too confusing. I'm going to refer to him still as my brother. My brother is glaring daggers at me "So have we finished laughing yet?"
"Yeah I think I've got it all out of my system, but I have to ask, do you know what happened?"
"I don't know  I went to bed after finishing my game of DOTA with my friends, fell asleep, and then I woke up like this"
"You do also realise that you're also a mare now too?" His face dropped, he threw off his sheets and looked between his legs, 
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MY MANHOOD!" 
After a couple of minutes of my brother crying over his lost manhood, I ask "Ok, now that we've gotten that out of the way can you stand up?"
"I don't know. Between me screaming and you laughing at me, I haven't tried yet"
"Do you want to give it a go?"
"Alright." He then tries rolling to the edge of his bed, but his hind legs get caught in the sheets and he tumbles off, head first, onto the floor. At this point I burst out laughing again (If you haven't figured out I'm not the kindest person out there). While I was laughing I notice that he has a cutie mark with three smiling flowers. Oh my God,  Alex is Cherilee. Ponyville's very own School teacher. Just like his actual job!
"Hey Alex, I just figured out who you are. I think you've turned into Cherilee!" 
"What Cherilee?! Why did I turn into her?! Why did I even turn into a pony?! I don't want to be Cherilee!! She sucks! Why couldn't I turn into someone cool like Rainbow Dash or Cadence?" Now, free from the trap that is his sheets, Alex then tries to stand up. While he's doing this, his face pulls into different positions, showing his anguish. Upon finally standing up and wobbling a bit, he tries to take a step forward and then falls, embarrassingly, on his face again.
"Alex, I don't think you're in any condition to go to work today"
"No shit Sherlock. Would you mind calling them for me? Don't think using a phone would be the easiest thing for me to do right now"
I quickly dart to the phone, and call his work, telling them that he wont be in for a couple of days. "Ok Alex" I say as I walk into his room "I've called your work and let th....... What are you doing?"
There, on the floor,  Alex is doing some sort of mix between a crawl and rolling.
"Yeah, I've given up trying to walk, and I'm content with spending the rest of my days as a caterpillar"
"You do realize you're an idiot, right?' He then responds with no words that any little pony should say( I'll give you a hint, it sounds like vacuum)
"Do you need some help getting up"
He stares with eyebrows raised.
"Fine, I'll carry you to the table" He then gives me a sarcastic smile.


As I place him on the table, Alex gives me a weird look and says, "You do know chairs are for sitting, and tables are for eating, right?"
"Yeah I do, but that's not what we're doing"
He gives me another weird look, "Then what are we doing?"
"I'm going to give you a check up to make sure there isn't anything majorly wrong with you, besides from being a pony."
"And you're doing this, why?"
"One; I'm still your brother and even though I've been laughing at your new found problem, I'm still worried about you, and two; No doctor will see you now, so you might as well get seen by a vet you can at least trust."
"Fine, I'll let you do a check up on me on two conditions"
"And those would be?" I ask
"One; no thermometer up my butt, and two; You make me breakfast"
"Deal"
Besides more movement capabilities in their Legs, Equestrian ponies appear to be the same biologically as regular horses and ponies.
Now that I've given my brother clean bill of health, I go off to the kitchen to get us some breakfast.


After Breakfast, I look at the clock. It's 8:00am. SHIT!! I'm going to be late for work. I quickly run to my room and get changed for work. I run back out to the kitchen. Alex asks, "What are you running for?"
"I lost track of time, and now I'm going to be late for work!" 
"Ohhhhh" 
I run over to him and pick him up and place him on the couch
"I'll get you some food and water so you don't have to go looking for it. Here's the remote and the phone as well as a pen so you can use them to call me if anything goes wrong. Alright?"
My brother nods and I run to the door to leave, but before I exit, I yell to my Brother, "Alex, make sure you practice walking today! Don't be lazy and just crawl and roll everywhere like you were doing earlier"
My brother yells back "Don't tell me how to live my life!"


On my drive to work I decide to listen to the radio to see if there was any new information about this pony phenomenon.
"In News, Lauren Faust and Tara Strong are still missing. The American government has started a nation wide search for both of them, and so far, has come up empty. If you are unfamiliar with who these people are Lauran Faust is the creator of the show; My little Pony Friendship is magic, and was the first person to be effected by the recent pony changes. In other news, Fluttershy was attacked by a group of people known as the People against Ponies Association or 'PaPA' for short.." On hearing this, I lost my concentration and almost drifted into the next lane before I realised what I was doing and swerved back into the correct lane. I felt like someone had ripped out my insides. How could anyone attack poor little Fluttershy?! if I ever find who did that, I would tear them a new one. No one attacks best Pony. "... Reports thats came in from the US today have confirmed that the pony Fluttershy escaped unharmed from the incident, and is now continuing her journey to New York" After the report I turned the radio off and breathed a sigh of relief. Thanks God she's alright.


{}{}{}{}{}


After work I decided to go to the markets to buy Alex some fruits and vegetables. When I got home, I couldn't believe my eyes.
"What the hell happened here?!" I whisper to myself
"ALEX" I yell
He casually strolled into the kitchen, looked at me and said "I might of had a little accident." 
What he called a little accident I called a natural disaster, there was broken glass in the kitchen,the floor the bathroom was flooded and water had seeped into all carpets. There was even toilet paper strewn around the entire kitchen and toilet areas!. I just sighed, breathed in, and got to work on cleaning up.



Two hours Later


"Wow, I didn't know something as small as you could make a mess that big!" I say sarcastically
"Hey, I'm the only sarcastic guy in this family, and its not completely my fault, its these!!" He said shaking his hooves in my face.
"Don't worry, I'll get back at you tomorrow for this mess. So who wants dinner?"
Alex raises his hoof in the air "Me! "
"Alright, I'll go make your dinner"
So I made my brother a salad and made a bacon and egg sandwich for myself. My Brother just stared at me as I ate my dinner in front of him. I relished at the fact I was eating his favourite food in front of him, so I decided to rub this in his face a bit to get back for the mess he had made.
"Ohhh this sandwich is so nice, and the bacon, it's so crispy!"
After finishing the sandwich, I licked all my fingers to rub it in even further. 
"I hate you so much right now". Alex then just stuck out his tongue and left the table.
"You going to bed already? It's not even ten yet?"
"I know, but I feel tired, so I'm going to go to bed, especially since I can't play DOTA any more!"


So after tidying up after dinner, I decided to do what I normally do at this time. No it's not that. It's PONY TIME. I'm obsessed with My little pony. I've seen all the episodes. I've seen the parodies, and I read a lot of fanfic's. You could say I'm addicted. After several hours of reading I looked over at my clock and saw that it said it was 2:30am.
"I think it's time to go to bed" I say to myself.
I turn my laptop off and climbed into bed. Before I fell asleep, I thought of all the different ways I was gonna torture Alex today. God I'm so cruel sometimes, and Karma usually has a nice way of biting back at you.
