//------------------------------// // Edges of Ponyville // Story: My little Revolution: Britain and Her Colonies // by batran //------------------------------// Connecticut and the others were running through the forest. He looked to the group (while still running); "Hey guys, it's over there!" he called out while pointing to the clearing, he turned back around and accidently ran face first into a tree. "Damn!" After recovering they set off once again. They spotted the same clearing Connecticut was talking about on their way towards it. It looks just what he had described it. As The 'Colonial Squad' almost made it to the clearing a sharp pain wrapped around them all. Their hair starts to fall off but at the same time grow at different places. Bones were cracking and bending at unusual angles, all of the moaned in pain but kept going, determined to get out of the creepy forest. Lucky they haven't ran into any wild creatures yet. Their backs suddenly had the urge to bend over and it was getting worse FAST! They were a few feet at the clearing but they stopped as curiosity made them forget their goal. Their fingers were shrinking and were replace by... HOOVES, hooves similar to horses as they remember. Their arms also shrank a little and match the shape of their hooves. One by one, a thought had slithered into every mind of the group of fourteen of them. They were turning into Horses(or ponies). Another thought crawled into the mind of New Jersey; This forest must've turning us into ponies!. He had repeated his thoughts to the others. Some were surprised and some shivered at this statement. As their bodies starts to grow colored tiny hairs (coats), they dashed out of the forest screaming in terror. After their transformation has finished, they looked like the natives of this land, but they have not known that yet. They began to search frantically for help, but no use as they were in a wide open field. They shrugged their thoughts about the town, they thought that the town would probably think that their monsters and burn them at the stake. Suddenly New York fell onto all four of his knees, unable to get up without assistance. "Argh, help!" New York cried as he struggled to get up. But forgetting how to get up properly, knowing he is now a pony with an alien like body structure . "Ah got you mate!" said Virginia trying to pull up his fallen friend by the arms but a sudden arch in his back made him fall onto all fours. He looked around and saw, one by one, each of every one of them are stumbling onto all four hooves. Shrugging it off, Virginia pulled New York back up on bipeds. New York wobbled alarmingly forward, on instinct he put both of his arms forward trying to prevent the fall. His landing is softer and sweeter than he except it to be. He sighed in relief and starts to walk forward. Walking on all fours seemed easy as you got more balance on you, but if you were a bi-ped before then you would walk slightly different than other ponies, something similar to gaurds ponies (it's what they call marching here in Equestria). After all the bone-cracking pain they had been through, The group's bodies was sore from the process. It's like getting run over by a truck and waking up in a hospital an hour later. The former Colonists and the former Redcoat blacked out from sudden exhaustion. South Carolina had struggled to open his eyes again. They opened slightly by force and she saw a butter-yellow, pink, and somewhat cyan colored blur before giving up and let the darkness consume him. --------------John Melinda de Marseille/ Georgia----------------- South Carolina open his eyes, scanning around the room. He was in bed, but the only one in bed as he heard a couple of groans from the floor and the wall. He looked over the bed and saw that her comrades, A Blue Unicorn with a long tied cranberry mane (Massachusetts) and a Light Red Earth Pony with short black mane (Georgia) shifting their bodies on the floor before going back to sleep, not noticing where they were. Normally, males naturally tend to sleep longer than females, why haven't South Carolina wanted to sleep a bit more? Yeah he was tired, but not that tired compared to others. He had assumed it was them since he recognized the colors on them when they were morphing. A door opened that made her jump and shifted her gaze to the spot of interest. A butter-Pegasus enter the room carrying a small try with her mouth. Her eyes widened a little as she saw the only state in the 13 colonies with 'south' in his name. She tried to speak, but the words had been blocked by the tray in her teeth and it came out muffled. "I am sorry, vhat?" Apologized South Carolina before asking, not trying to be rude. He thought the pony tried to speak so he stared at the Pegasus in disbelief. The Pegasus layed the try on the table with her mouth and pulling head back up to the "pony" in the bed before saying: "U-um.. I brought you some food.... if you don't mind..." started the Pegasus Mare in a soft timid voice. The only awoken state in the room's eyes shrank a little but turned back to normal, thinking that she already can speak... why can't the Pegasus? But her friends were all earth ponies, so it still would kind of surprising but her eyes looked down on the food before looking back up to the pegasus. "Um... may I start by asking what your name is?" Asked South Carolina, he assumed that the pegasus was a girl by looking at her facial and body features, but what should he know? he haven't known about their kind, yet. "I-I'm Fluttershy" "Well miss flutterhigh-" "Fluttershy" corrected Fluttershy "....Fluttershy... Where are we?" Asked S.C. "Your... in Equestria" "Equestria?" "yes..." Fluttershy shrank back a little. Then there came a knock downstairs, Fluttershy excused herself and timidly walked downstairs and opened the door. Leaving the indigo blue earth pony on the bed in the room. South Carolina then looked to the food on the tray and copied Fluttershy by taking it with his mouth and setting it on his lap. He stared at the food below him. A delicious looking hay sandwich with a small salad on the side. His stomach growled so he picked up the food and gobbled it down piece by piece. ---------------Adam Philips/New Hampshire---------------- New Hampshire nervously and slowly opened his eyes, they become wide as he looked all over the room in astonishment, ignoring his friends' bodies shifting occasionally on the floor. The architecture and placement of furniture simply amazed him. A nice place to be in.... he thought. He looked down at him self and his expression became shocked as he looked all over his body. His coat was white and when he looked up, his hair was blue. Then there came a knock on the door and there was a sound of footsteps upstairs. When the door opened and out came the most beautiful creature he had lay eyes upon. The soft long pink hair, the color of the coat that could soothe a person's anger, and those beautiful innocent orbs.... The beautiful creature hurried downstairs before she spot N.H. on the couch looking at her. She made a loud eep! that could make a crack on his heart due to the d'awwwness of it all. It doesn't matter if she isn't the same thing as he was, she was still undeniably adorable. She backed a way slowly to the corner like she was almost afraid of him. He felt sad of this and raised a hoof in protest. She immediately stopped and looked into his eyes. He looked into hers. There was an awkward silence... The knock on the door came again. The Pegasus jumped and began walking towards the door not keeping an eye off (New) Hampshire. The timid Pegasus opened the door revealing a white unicorn with majestic curled mane. "Um..Rarity? What are you doing here? The Pegasus asked the marshmallow unicorn. "Fluttershy, darling, I wanted to check up on you after I saw that you dragged a few unconscious ponies into your house?" replied Rarity "Oh... um, I found them unconscious outside and I wanted to help them..." The cute pegasus hooves lift up and she shrank a little (not literally) "Oh Fluttershy, that is very thoughtful and heroic of you, but I think we should actually take them to the hospital first." "I was about to, I was seeing if... they were fine..." said the Pegasus, judging from her expression, she felt guilty. Personally to New Hampshire, he was glad he was not in the hospital, he loved seeing the beautiful pegasus' home. But then again, the hospital would be an ideal place if he valued his health a bit more. His thoughts were interrupted when Rarity asked him a question, he assumed that because she was looking at him. "Are you one of the ponies Fluttershy found? What is your name darling?" Fluttershy... what a gorgeous name.... "Well um, my name is... Adam Philips.... but you could call me New Hampshire..." "What an unusual name, New Hampshire. Are you from Trottingham?" "Huh?" "Are you from Trottingham? Your clothes looked similar to theirs." repeated Rarity. He thought about this for a moment. He looked down at his clothes since he got turned into one of them most of his friend's clothes would not fit him. But he was skinny so his clothes almost fit his size, and they also miraculously looked clean (besides his lower body but the blanket cover it). he still have his lucky (colonist) hat which looked good on him when he was a pony. It is best to say that he is from Trottingham, it would not be smart to alert the ponies to become hostile.... I think.... "U-um," started New Hampshire, "yes... I am from.... Trottingham..."
