45. H/AiE? No. Just no... (Author SI)

One moment I was sitting in front of my Computer preparing to play Bioshock; the next moment I was...

Was...

Where was I?

Groaning softly, I cracked open grit-filled eyes, coughed out a mouthful of dirt, then shakily tried to get to my... to my...

My...

Hooves?

'Wat?' thought I.

I blink-blinked.

Then blink-blinked again.

'Ah... No,' thought I. 'I did not just see what I thought I saw...'

Inhaling, I sl-o-o-o-owly looked down... to see...

'Yep. Them's hooves, all right...'

Attached to long slender legs bearing unshorn fetlocks.

'Oh... kay...' thought I. Carefully - ever-so-carefully, just to check mind you - I craned my neck around to my left side, followed by my right. Folded against those sides of my body I espied two wi... win...

I blink-blinked... then sl-o-o-o-owly returned my attention forward again. 'I did not have those this morning' I stated internally. 'I did not have those this morning. I was a pink-skinned, bipedal human this morning; I distinctly remember that I was not a... not a... a...'

I had become a pony. I had become an Equestrian pony. I had become a winged Equestrian pony... A slow, creeping dread wormed its way into my heart, then. 'There are only two types of winged pony in Equestria,' thought I, swallowing back bile. 'One of them is the Pegasus, responsible for manipulation of Equestrian Weather. The other type is... is...'

Inhaling a softened breath, I sl-o-o-o-owly reached a very, very dextrous hoof up to touch my forehead... and then creeping dread was replaced by slowly dawning horror when I felt it protruding from said forehead. I... I had a...

Horn.

I had a horn protruding from my forehead! I had a horn protruding from my forehead! I... I was... I was an...

"Alicorn," I breathed. Then... "Oh. Fuck."

There were only three words that I deemed appropriate to sum up the way I felt right now. Three words to express myself wholeheartedly. And so, unable to see anyone else in the field in which I stood at this profound moment, I cried the words aloud to the heavens.

"Discord... you fucker!"
