The ONE week I was camping with my friends, could it have better or worce timing.

I climed out of my tent on the first morning camping, still in my PJs, and I felt uncomfortable so I tugged on my pants then I felt better. Then my friend Tom climed out of his tent and fell backwards in shock. I turned to hear him start to say something, "Erin you you you have a..."
I looked at him like he was crazy, "I have a what?"
"A tail!"
With that I turned and looked at my but, and I saw that I had a yellow, pink and purple tail. I let out a faint squeal. My friend, Tia came out, I looked at her, my eyes welling up with tears. She sat next to me. I said to her, "I have a PONY TAIL"
She put her arm around me. "How about you get changed then we will think things through." I nodded then changed into pants and my fave top. I sat down and started to think things through, I can't go home, I need to live here until we fiber out how to change things. 

I calapsed onto the ground shaking it felt like my back was being riped apart and when that stopped I felt like my head was being pulled aparet. Tom was looking at me, "Erin, you have wings AND a horn!"  I grabbed a knife and carefully took off my top. I cut holes in it for my wings to fit through. Tia then looked at me. "I need to admit something, I like MLP" Tom started to laugh then fell onto the floor holding his belly like it might burst. 

I looked at Tia, "who am I turning into?" 
She smiled, "you are turning into Princess Cadence, Alicorn of love."
I looked at Tia, "How do I fly?"
She smiled, "You need to be a pony to do so. You might be able to learn magic."
I stood up, "I'm going to get water." I left with the water pot, I needed time to think and sum up what is happening. 

I am Erin. I am turning into a pony. Soon I will be called Princess Cadence. I have wings and a horn, and a ice creame tail. I might be dicected or tested on. I can't go home. I have to spend the rest of my life here. My friend Tia, has the best idea of what is happening to me, but she could be far far off from what is really happening. 

On the walk back I could hear better and I could move my ears, when I looked into the pot I had pony ears sticking out of there my normal ears should be, then I saw them slowley move, probably to the top of my head. Then I saw that I was turning bright pink. When I got back to camp I started to shake then I passed out. This was all to much for me to take in. 

When I woke up the sun was rising and I saw that my skin was bright pink and my feet and hands where no longer there, their where now HOVES! I got out of my tent and then I walked over to the log/chair. I saw Tia come out of her tent. She noticed me, WHO WOULDN'T. She sat next to me, "Hey Erin."
"Hi, I HAVE HOVES, HOVES!" Tia's eyes went big looking at them, "and I am pink."
Tia smiled, "I noticed that, and your hair matches your tail." 
Tom walked out of the tent, "Your pink." And with that I started to cry, tears pored down my cheeks and I held my head in my hoves. Tia pat my back, it didn't help much she still had hands. Tom started to cook up some meat and it smelt really strange, that bring on more tears. 

I stood up and then I fell face first. Tia looked sad for me. "You mind must be confused with your center of gravity." My body felt all tingly, and then my face turned a bit like a pony and so did my body. When I stood up I was unsteady and shorter. I went to where the food was kept and ate some lettuce and carats instead of the meat. My mind couldent register what is what's which made me tear up, there is no whay to stop it without me looking like a freak, no I am a freak. 

Tia helped me back over, Tom couldent find anything to lighten the mood. We sat there In silance, my body turning more and more like a ponies. I tried to levitate some stickes to put in the fire that Tom made I lifted them off the ground but after a few seconds I dropped them. Tia smiled at this, but I was disappointed in myself then all at once I was nolonger Erin but Princess Cadence. This all went to fast for me, for Tia, for Tom...

Tia looked at me for a long long time she gave me a hug, just what I needed to be a ice cream coloured pony. Then Tia spoke, "It's your birthday today." 

Tom stood up and gave us two a each keys, "we better get moving to my cottage."
I looked at him "don't you live with your parents?"
He raised a eyebrow, "But my uncle passed away not to long ago and left me his off the grid cottage with a huge plot of land. Erin can't go back home, so we go there, it is about a 6 hour drive from here." I ran up and gave Tom a hug. 
Tia still wasent impressed. "What about your parents?"
Tom smiled "It uses 3 diffrent keys to get through the only gate and it is slurp undead by a 5meter wall, it has a mini farm and I have the only keys to the gate, now only us three have the only keys to the house."
