Today sucked. Not that I should be surprised, nearly every day was like this. Okay maybe I was overreacting a little, It’s not like I got mugged or anything. I shouldn’t really complain given what could have happened, but after working twelve long hours at a pizza place, while having to wear that stupid mascot costume for a couple of them, and closing on top of that. You don’t tend to be in the mood to be positive. So fuck it: Today sucked.
Whatever, I was home now. I was free. Free, with the next three days off from work, and as far as I was concerned that was the greatest thing in the world. It was enough to get me to ignore the poor state of my living room, which usually bothered me. A whole hand me down couch and two armchairs were about all the eyes could see. I couldn’t even remember the last time any of them were used. If my job didn’t suck there’d be a nice high class tv out here and a bitching surround sound system. Instead we had the thirty inch ancient in my room and no sound system to speak of.
Plopping down on the cheap bed-couch I had managed to buy off an old neighbor, I stared at the ceiling. Lack of cool shit aside, It sure as hell felt good to be home. Now if it just wasn’t almost midnight. What good is it to get home only to be this exhausted? I doubt I’d even make it through an episode of a tv show right now. With a bit of effort I managed to sit back up and stare at my TV. That’s when I noticed the faint bluish glow coming from the screen. Funny, I don’t remember turning it on. Hell I hadn’t even turned on the light when I entered my room, yet the screen was most certainly glowing. Reaching over to find the remote amongst the cushions I began to jab at the power button to no avail. Shit, had the batteries died already? As I debated how willing I was to get up and turn the thing off manual, I realized the glow was getting more intense.
It was soft at first, but it began to pulse as it grew brighter and brighter. Or maybe it was always pulsing and it was just too dim for me to notice before. Whichever the case, my television set was most certainly acting very weird right now. Looking closely at the screen, I thought I could see something beyond the haze of blue. The more I stared the more I was able to make out some sort of image. I was just about to piss myself with the thought of wells and ghost girls in my mind when I was able to make sense of what I was seeing.
I blinked. Was... was that a pink pony?
The longer I watched, the clearer the image became. It was a pink pony sitting in a small room with a few pieces of furniture around her. The pony was just sitting there staring at me, which I didn’t find much better then a possible ghost girl. She wasn’t a normal pony either. This pony was clearly from the old TV show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic given how she looked, though she didn’t look like any of the characters I remember. Then again I only just recently discovered the show online, it being off the air for a while now. I couldn’t even remember which season I had seen last. Only that I was a few episodes into the next one. Looking back at her, I began to make out her details. Whoever she was, she was a princess, considering I could see both wings and a horn on her, which only left me more confused. There were only four Princess’ in the entire show that I knew about. Well five if you count the daughter of Shining and Cadance, but I had literally just seen the episode she was introduced as a baby. Hell I couldn’t even remember her name. Sky Spell or something?
Wait a second, didn’t their daughter have a mane of purple and yellow? Looking at the screen again, I saw that this princess had the exact type of mane as that baby pony. It couldn’t be her could it? This mare was almost an adult. Then again, how the hell was I to know I wasn’t looking at her future self? Furthermore, what the hell is she doing on my tv?
>>Hi There!
I jumped. What the hell was that? Well I mean I know what it was. It was a voice. The problem is it sounded like a girl’s voice and it sounded like it came from inside my head. I should not have feminine voices speaking in my head, or any type of voice just talking in my head for that matter.
>> Hello? Can you hear me? Dang it! I was certain this was the spell my mom described...
No I was definitely hearing a voice inside my head that was certainly not my own. So either I was going crazy, or I was more tired than I thought. My utter exhaustion was probably the only thing keeping me from freaking out. What the hell? Maybe I was dreaming. I did plop down on my couch mere seconds after getting home, though I don’t ever remember falling asleep that quickly. It’s certainly possible though, and besides what else could this be? Anyway, I should probably try talking back or something.
“Hello?” I asked out loud before thinking better of it. The voice sounded in my head right? Maybe I should reply in my mind? That made sense right? I tried again.
Hello? I could immediately hear the happiness in the other voice.
>>Oh great! It DID work!
Um yeah I guess. Who is this?
>>You haven’t figured that out yet?
...No? The voice giggled.
>>I’m right here silly! In front of you!
With that I finally noticed that the pony on the TV screen waving at me excitedly. Okay now I know this had to be a dream. I was talking to the image of a pony princess via mind chat. Well whatever, for a dream this was certainly one of the more interesting ones. May as well go with it.
>>So, um... Can I ask you a favor?
I shrugged. Why not? It wasn’t like it’d matter when I woke up. Sure what is it?
>>Would... Would you like to swap roles for a few days?
...say what now? It was hard to tell but I think she blushed.
>>I want to trade places with you for a few days. You know, you in my world and me in yours..
...You’re kidding right?
>>No! Please? You’re a human right? I’ve heard such wonderful things about your world! I’ve got to see it!
How in the world do you know what I am, or about my world?
>>From my mom. She use to tell me stories of your world when I was a little filly. I never thought they’d end up real though! Oh now that I know I just have to visit!
Okay, and how does your mom know?
>>She grew up there!
I think I’d remember hearing about a pony growing up in my world.
>>Well she wasn’t a pony while there. Oh come on! Please? I really want to see it! You can be over here in the meantime! An entire palace for you to explore! Doesn’t that sound nice? Plus you’d have servants to wait on you. Come on! It’ll be fun!
So we just swap lives for a bit?
>>Yep! That mean you’ll do it?
Well I have to say, it sure is nice of my dream to give me a choice. I figured they generally just did with you as they pleased.
>>Dream? Oh no, this is real. See I really am from Equestria, and you are a human from Earth! Mom never told me how she got from there to here of course, but I uh, borrowed her diary for a bit, and it was all spelled out in it.
Right, and I’m sure any second now a talking platypus in a fedora is going to burst through my wall to bust up my dreaminator.
>>You have a what now?
I was joke- Look, there is no way this is real. That’s absurd!
>>Oh yeah? Then pinch yourself.
Okay fine, but I’m not sure that even really wo-OW!
>>See? This is real. So, wanna give it a try? Please? I’m not sure I can contact any other humans, so you may be my only chance!
Okay I needed a timeout. That pinch actually hurt, and I was still pretty certain that thing about not feeling pain in dreams wasn’t false, but if this wasn’t a dream, then what the fuck was going on? Was I just hallucinating? Maybe I was more overworked than I thought. Yeah, that had to be it. I was working so much in a job I hated that I’m going bonkers. That made sense. At least it made more sense than what she was telling me. So what do I do? Go along with the delusion? Then again, what if it was real? Did I really want to just ignore it? Fuck, I was too tired for this.
Okay hold up. Let’s just pretend this is all real for a moment. So I just walk into your world and you mine? Wouldn’t people, er ponies, find it odd to see a human walking around?
>>Well you wouldn’t be a human...
What?
>>You’d sorta be a pony.
...What do you mean sorta? What the hell are you talking about I’d be a pony!?
>>Well from what I understand. Your body will change it’s form to fit in here, and mine will transform to fit in there.
And what no one finds the fact a pony they’ve never seen before is just trotting around in the palace? I don’t think I’d enjoy my few days over there in jail.
>>Oh that wouldn’t happen. The most they’d do is kick you out of the palace.
Okay you are REALLY not helping your case here.
>>They aren’t going to do that! Trust me, no pony would kick you out! They’d be expecting you to be here!
Uh huh, and why would they be doing that?
>>Oh come on! I wouldn’t just stick you in here like that without a plan! I even have my friend Prince Luminare ready to guide you while here!
Prince? So I’d have a Prince looking out for me?
>>Yep! He’ll make sure you are well taken care of! So what do you say? Will you let me see your world? Come on! All you have to do is lay around for a few days and enjoy the royal life. Won’t that be fun?
Okay fine I admit it sounds nice, but why should I trust you over here? How do I know you won’t mess up my place?
>>Do you think I’d want you to mess up my stuff in return? I’m not looking to live there, just vacation for a few days. I won’t even leave the house if that’ll make you happy. I’m sure I can still learn what I want while indoors. Come on! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity! You have to be a little curious!
Well she was right about that part. The chance to go to Equestria and just lounge around with a Prince as my guide? The offer was extremely tempting. It also sounded too good to be true.
>>Did I mention Luminare and I are willing to give you some nice jewels as a thank you present? From what I understand they are pretty valuable in your world.
Okay, now that sounded really nice! I still wasn’t sure though. There had to be a catch...
I’m considering it.
>>Oh don’t say that! Just think of- Wait what?
I said I’m considering it. Look, maybe I’m just hallucinating all of this due to stress or something, but whatever sure. I get to live a life of luxury for a few days and you get to be a human. Sounds weird, but you’re right. It’d be an adventure at the very least.
If I told her I was going along with it, she was certain to reveal the catch. All I had to do was keep my eyes open and I’d spot it. Of course if this was genuine, then I get to live as a prince for a few days! It’s a win win situation!
>>Yes, yes! Thank you! Thank you! Now all you have to do is touch this! As she spoke she picked up a small crystal orb with her two front hooves. The thing seemed to be about the size of a basketball, and was pulsing with a pinkish light.
How the hell am I suppose to touch it when you have it over there? Was I just suppose to place my fingers on the image?
>>No! Not this one! Your crystal!
My crystal? I don’t have a crystal. I swear she was looking at me like I was stupid.
>>Yes you do! Look down.
I did and sure enough there was a crystal just like the one she had sitting on the floor. It was even pulsing with a similar pink glow. How the hell did I miss that? So I just touch this- I thought, placing my hands on the crystal at my feet.
That had to be the biggest mistake I’ve ever made in my life.
GKZZZCH! Oh geez! What the hell was that feeling!? Wait why can’t I get my hands free?
GKZZZCH! Ugh, my entire body is going numb. That can’t be good.
GKZZZCH! OW! OW! OW! OW! How was this so painful if my body was going numb!?
GKZZZCH! W-were my arms turning pink? Is that fur? Okay I get this is what’s turning me into pony now, but pink fur? Come on can’t I get a more manly color?
GKZZZCH! GAH! It’s like my limbs are on fire! A loud cracking sound causes my stomach to lurch. I really didn’t think I wanted to know exactly what just happened.
GKZZZCH! I can’t even feel my arms or legs anymore. At some point I ended up on the floor, I can’t remember when I fell. All of this just feels so weird.
GKZZZCH! A horrible pain explodes upon my back causing me to cry out. It felt like some creature just tore it’s way out of me. Just what the hell- Oh. I could just make out a pair of huge purplish pink wings extending from my back. So not only am I going to be a pony but a pegasus? That’s kinda cool I guess. I can deal with the odd color scheme if that’s the case.
>>Oops, I should have told you to take your cloths off first...
GKZZZCH! Wait, what? Looking back at my newly acquired wings, I see the remains of my shirt scattered upon me and the floor. Aw man! That was my work shirt! Well at least I still have the pants-
GKZZZCH! Another ripping sound. Fuck spoke too soon. At least this part of the transformation was numbed. I looked back just in time for another jolt.
GKZZZCH! As I watched my backside I could just make out a tail sprouting from my mostly ponified rear. Now that’s an odd sight to see. Sadly along with my coat it was the most unmanly of colors. Purple and yellow, just like the bit of mane I could see spilling down around my head. Funny I didn’t notice it growing before.
Wait a second, these colors looked a bit familiar...
GKZZZCH! I felt my manhood go limp as my brain slowly began to connect the dots. The way my body was coming out, I looked just like... But she wouldn’t right? She never said-
GKZZZCH! SHIT! NO NO NO! I could feel my dick melting away into my body, the sensation alternating from just plain weird, to unbearably painful. At some point I had begun to bite on the crystal I still held before me, noticing just how much I had changed. My face was now a muzzle, my arms slender pony legs and hooves -- really girly looking hooves.
GKZZZCH! I could feel my balls being sucked in as the last thing I ever wanted between my legs split open, causing me to scream in both pain and really fucked up pleasure. My voice didn’t even sound like my own anymore. I could hear it jumping in octaves. Fuck she was really doing it! The pony I was becoming was --
GKZZZCH! AHHHH! FUCK! FUCK THIS STUPID IDEA! I’M THE DUMBEST MOTHER FUCKER ON THE ENTIRE PLA-
GKZZZCH! My body was beginning to un-numb, which only lead to more pain and outright insane sensations. I could distinctly feel two mounds near my newly born slit, pressing against the carpet. My insides were on fire as I realized the spell must be giving me a womb for all the foal birthing I could want.
Okay, no. Out of my head, I don’t even want to think about that. Like fuck I’m going through with this now. The second this is over I’m telling her to change me back!
GKZZZCH! FUUUUUUUUUCK! The sheer agony of a horn sprouting from my forehead, made me consider waiting a couple of hours first.
GKZZZCH... Wait was it winding down? Finally! I felt like I had just run a marathon through a sea of needles. As I lay there, I began to process what I really didn’t want to admit. First, I was the pony princess on the tv. That much was certain, her little ‘swap’ was literal it looks like. I’m her, so does that mean she’s?
Looking up, I nearly jumped at what I saw. Half of it I really should have expected, so I’m going to chalk it up to the other half that really did it.
>>Can you still hear me?
There are very few things weirder than hearing your own voice speak to you in your head when you aren’t controlling it. It’s even more bizarre when your body is standing right before you. Okay, so first question has been answered. I became her, and she most definitely is in my body now. What I didn’t expect was him to be in the same room as me. Did he walk out of the tv? I had quite a few choice words I wanted to say to him. What came out however:
Yeah... I can hear you... How are you moving? I feel like I just got hit by a ton of bricks.
>>Oh good I was afraid the spell would wear off once we changed. Okay my mom is attending some political thing in Canterlot. She should be gone for a few days so you needn’t worry about her. My dad is a great guy, but a bit dense. I doubt he’ll notice anything is wrong. Don’t worry though, Luminare will fill you in on anything you need to know, just listen to him and you’ll be fine. Oh, I can’t wait to see the wonders of your world! You ready?
No I wasn’t fucking ready. You didn’t tell me I’d be you for this, you little shit. We are going to wait for me to regain the ability to move and then we’re switching back, and I’m going to bed and pretending none of this ever happened.
Wait wasn’t the floor carpet and not hardwood? It took me a few seconds to realize that while I was having my inner little dilemma, my former body had picked me up and carried me through my television somehow, laying me gently on the ground. Fuck, I really was out of it wasn’t I? Getting your body mushed into a new shape really didn’t do you any favors after a long work shift. I could already feel my eyelids beginning to sag. I didn’t realize just how drained I felt. Crap! I had to stop her before she just left me here!
Wait! I-
>>Oh yeah, and uh... One more thing I guess I should warn you about.
Despite the desperation of my situation, something about the way she said that made my blood run cold, causing me to waste what few precious words I could speak.
W-what’s that?
>>I am, well I was just coming into season, so that probably means you are now. Just stay away from the stallions and you’ll be fine. Have fun!
WAIT! I’M WHAT!?
With a cold sweat I watched as the blue glow began to swirl inwardly upon itself. Resembling the way toilet water would swirl as it flushed, slowly scraping away what I could see of the image on the other side. The last I saw of my body was it waving to me goodbye as the blue ‘portal’ closed in on itself, leaving me as a pony princess sitting on what I could only guess was one of the floors in the Crystal Palace.
I didn’t even know what the hell this mares name was, and I was suppose to live her life for a few days? I didn’t see this ‘prince’ fellow anywhere either, and my body still felt like it was ready to just shut down. I think she told me I could tap the crystal to contact her, but I couldn’t even move my legs, let alone crawl over to where the crystal might have rolled.
So to recap, I was a pink pony princess about to go into heat, in a world I’m not use too, and my only help is a prince who I’m uncertain of the relation this body has to him. For all I know they could be lovers.
The thought made me want to vomit.
“I am so screwed!” I said, getting to hear my new feminine voice for the first time. I immediately regretted my choice of words as sleep finally claimed me.
