Tom raced in to check who it was, it was Emma, still human. Tia who is now nearly a pony came down and started to tear up at the sight of Emma, she only just managed to make it to Tia, Tia said, "Emma, it's me Tia. It is really me I promise." Emma fell to her knees and lent on me to stay sitting. I looked down at her, "Emma? It's me Erin! I turned into a pony first, we have taken care of eachouther." Emma tried to stand up and turned to walk away, then I said, "Emma, you have a blue tail." Then everyone else noticed the bit do flowing blue hair.  

"Oh no I can't open my fists and I'm turning white!" I raced to Tom's side then I saw his hands slowly turn into hooves then his shoes broke reveling hooves there too. Emma looked horrified, "That's what's going to happen to me?!" She fainted and we went inside. I levitated Emma to the last room. Then I went into Tom's room and sat with him while he developed hooves, and fell asleep next to him.

In the morning I saw not Tom but Shining Armer. I left to go to Tia's room and she was freaking out, I walked in then Tia looked at me, "GO AWAY!"  I stepped back then checked on Emma, she was crying on her bed. I put a reassuring hoof on her back. "I won't let anything hurt you and I have to look after your sister who is freaking out in her room." She smiled then got up I saw that she was blue and still had her hands. Her hair was flowing and then she got up and we went to pick some food. We ate some of the food on the way to the house. 

Tom got up then started to eat with his face in the bowl. I lauded and levitated his head back. "Try this instead focus on what you want to levitate and use your will for it to move, after you lift it up it becomes easy." I saw him pick up a leaf then drop it on himself. Me and Emma couldn't help but laugh.
Tom scowled "you didn't do much better on your first time Cadence." He covered his mouth with his hooves. Then  my magic went out of control then I saw a window, I leaned closed, "most of the pony population are this creature. What do we do Aunt Celestia?" Wait was that me? 
"I don't know what we have to do Cadence... What's that? Celestia walked towards the window, I cowered back. 
"Why did you take my body?!" I looked at myself. 
I took a breath in "I didn't take your body, YOU HAVE MINE!" 
"Shining? Is that you? It's not."
Celestia walked up to the window, "Cadence, well who is in her body can you step through?" 
I looked at her "no" 
"What? Do you know who I am?!"
"Yes, but I am not going through, but I will do this." And then I shut the window, "I pray that never happens twice." 
"What's happening?" In that problem Emma developed hooves and her bones are changing. 
"Everything will be fine, why don't you lay down?" 
"Ok..."
"Tom why don't you go and tell Tia?" He nodded and walked off "This will hurt." Tia came down and I saw her crying and tring to reverse what is happening to Emma. It worked! It actually worked! But I spoke to soon she had to go through it all faster and more painfully. Emma was a sobbing mess by the time it was done. I went to help her up and I was pushed back and pined to the wall by Tia. "Tia! Where all going through the same thing!" 
Emma was now more angry then sad. "Tia! Why did you do that to me, why are you doing that to Erin?" 
I saw a dark spark in her eyes."She is doing my job!" 
Emma shock her head, "She helped You, Tom and me, she doesn't want us to get hurt or scared, she was the first of us, she must have been terrified!" 
"She passed my line"
This time Tom spoke up, "leave"
Tia looked at him, "what did you just tell me?" 
"LEAVE, I invited you in here, to protect you, and this is how you treat me? Emma, she helps with the chores, Erin, she comped everyone when we where scared. And what did you do? Yell at us when we tried to help! Lock yourself in your room! You passed my line, now OUT!" 

Tia held her head high as Tom led her out, she didn't know how to fly only I did. I saw Tia walk then she was found and taken away. When I told them this Emma cried then I told her "If we didn't sent her out she would drive everyone out sooner or later."

We went inside as it was starting to get dark. I made some flower sandwiches for all of us. After I went to bed and Tom walked inside, "Are you ok?"
"Yes"
"When I told her to go, I realized what you have done for all of us. You did such a good job taking care of us."
"Thanks."
Tom levitated a small box over. "I feel like we are meant to be together, you staid positive tring to look forward, you helped us and I feel like I can turn to you for help and guidance, even if you don't know what is going on, you help the best you can." He bowed down and smiled, "Will you marry me?"
I was overwhelmed, then I knew how much we loved each outher "yes" he smiled and was happy, so happy. He opened the box and clipped the bracelet around my knee and it slipped down a bit. I smiled and he left me to sleep.
