Well, when I morphed into the pony, there was some bad news.
One, I turned into an Alicorn. Two, my cutiemark was a big, red, heart. And three, my color scheme didn't change. Well, that wasn't going to help. I changed into an Unicorn, but that was the easy part to change. To change my colors, I had to meet another pony, keep them somewhere where they couldn't be seen with me, and become them.
Each Changeling has a pony version of themselves, and I guess that's what mine was. Interesting. I really thought that it would look nothing like me, just as all the other Changeling's pony forms do. Well, might as well enjoy it.
When I arrived in Ponyville, the first pony I met was a light-purple unicorn. Well, I guess I wouldn't say met. More like bumped in to.
"Oh, sorry." I said, looking at the Unicorn. By looking at her hooves, I honestly thought she was going to be Twilight Sparkle.
"It's okay. Nopony really notices me. I'm more of the 'hang out by myself' type." She looked at me, and smiled. "Wow, I haven't seen you before. Are you new here?" She asked me.
"Actually, yes I am."
"Hi, nice to meet you. I'm Shining Light. What's your name?"
I panicked a bit, realizing that it had not even come over me to think of a name.
"It's, um..." I paused a bit, but then quickly realized it would be weird to be a pony who couldn't remember her own name. "It's Chryssi." I winced a little, realizing that the name was dangerously close to Chrysalis, but she didn't seem to care.
"Do you need some help? I know you're an Unicorn, but I could still help you with those suitcases of yours." She didn't wait for a reply, just started levitating some suitcases. "So," She asked me, "where do you live?"
"Well, I haven't really been here before. I might just have to stay in a hotel for a few days." I looked over at her, noticing her brown mane was neatly combed, and even glossy. My mane was slightly messy, and kind of dull.
"Oh, Celestia, you can't stay in a hotel! I have a spare room at my house, why don't you stay there?" She looked at me, and I just realized she was trying to become friends with me.
I shrugged. "Sure." I said, not realizing what I had just agreed to. Friendship.
"I can take those bags." She was really trying to be nice. I couldn't tell if it was just her nature, or if it was just because I was new. "Why don't you go to the spa? You look like you had a tiring night."
I looked at myself, realizing I was not the most attractive pony right now.
"That sounds great. Thanks, Shining Light." I smiled.
"You can call me Shining. And really, it's no problem. I have a few other friends that are coming over tomorrow. We can see if you'll like any of them. I would invite Crystal, but she's a little busy, and tomorrow didn't work out for her. I can arrange some other time if you want me to." She looked me directly in my eyes, the light shining off of her eyes.
"That'd be great, Shining. I'll see you later." I waved, and she waved back.
The spa really relaxed me. I was excited to got to Shining's house. She was the only pony who was nice to me. I talked to plenty of other ponies at the spa, but they didn't seem impressed. Shining did seem fairly happy to see me.
"Your room is upstairs. I'm tired. I think I'm gonna turn in early." She yawned, and continued up the stairs. "G'night." She said, turning her tired eyes up the stairs.
Of course, I didn't go to bed. I explored. I found out where the bathroom was, the most important thing. I found another door, but it was in a hidden place, so I assumed it was private.
I finally got tired, so I dragged myself upstairs and tried to find my room. It was pitch-dark, so after awhile, I decided to use the flashlight spell. My horn emitted a green orb of light, and I found my room. The suitcase wasn't even unpacked, which was good because it had some of my Changeling friends in it. I got under the covers, and went to bed.
