Chapter One: Transformation
This is my first fanfic and I hope everyone likes it. This is a story from your point of view, so everywhere that it says [Y/N], just put your name in. The story takes place about a week after Equestria Girls, and, sorry guys, is written for girls. Although it may not seem like it at first, this is a fanfic about MLP:FiM, it just starts out in the real world. Also, I do not own MLP or any of the characters. Originally, I wrote this on Fanfiction.net, but I decided to put it on this website too. All right, you guys ready? Well, ready or not, here it is!
Your POV
Just another boring day living the suburban dream. You check the clock while lying in bed. It reads 3:15. You sigh, twirling your [H/C] hair in your fingers as you stare at the ceiling. You live with your mom in a small house in an everyday neighborhood where nothing interesting ever seemed to happen. You live on broken promises of better times ahead, once you finished high school. But sometimes it seemed like promises were not enough.
"[Y/N], I'm home!" You sit up on your bed when you hear your mom's familiar voice.
You walk out of your room and towards the foyer to meet her as she enters. Her light brown hair seems a bit messy, but her blue eyes still shine with sweetness.
"Hello, [Y/N]. How was your last day of school today?"
"It was fine." You watch as your mother put her purse down and picks up her cell phone to call somebody. She was a businesswoman for a major corporation, so you didn't mind that she didn't have much time to talk.
As you walked in the kitchen, you pick up a small, shiny red apple and take it to the living room to eat, all while reviewing what your history teacher had taught you that day. "Magic was an important factor in the Middle Ages," he had instructed. "Many kings and queens had their own servants to perform feats of magic for them. It was a tradition and an important part of their history."
"Magic," you mumble. "Who cares about magic?"
After finishing your apple, you go back into your room and pick up your yearbook, which had been resting on your dresser, and flip to the signatures from everyone. One read, I will miss your kindness and laughter. Make sure to have a great summer! After looking at a few more, you close the book as your mom walks in with a new business suit on.
"All right, [Y/N], be honest with me…does this look ok?" She turns around a few times while you check out the outfit.
"Well, it's alright, but it would look a lot better with some hoop earrings." Your mom smiles at this response, happy with her suit now that you have approved it. As she walks out the door, though, her smile falters and she freezes and lets out a soft moan of pain, rubbing her back in dismay.
"You ok, mom?" You ask, concerned.
"I'm alright, but my darn back is killing me."
After thinking for a moment, you say, "Well, you don't worry, because I can set the table and do the dishes tonight. Also, you should probably see a chiropractor about that back soon."
Your mom smiles warmly and hugs you. "Thank you, [Y/N]. You're always so generous, especially when I'm in pain like this."
"No problem, mom."
After setting the table, you and your mom had some leftover Chinese food from last night. As you were eating, she began getting a lot of calls, and then she made one to her sister. Once her calls subsided, she turned to look at you. "Well, [Y/N], it looks like I'll have to be in Minnesota for a huge business meeting and convention for more than half of the summer. So, I called your Aunt Becky, and she said you could come stay with her in the city while I'm away."
You want to say something, and you were so disappointed about spending the summer away from your mom, but you knew she was doing her best to support both of you, so you kept silent.
"I know it's hard, but please, remember to always call or text me every day. And listen to your Aunt Becky."
You sigh, finally looking up to meet your mother's eyes. "My first loyalty is to my family. Of course I will."
"Good. Well, I'm headed off to bed. Goodnight, sweetie." She gives you a quick hug and then heads to her room.
"This is going to be a long summer," you whisper as you gather up all of the dishes to wash.
"Goodbye, I'll take good care of [Y/N], don't you worry!" Aunt Becky yells out to your mom as she drives away.
"Bye mom," you say quietly, more to yourself than her.
As soon as your mother is gone, Aunt Becky turns to you. "Now then, I guess I should welcome you to my apartment, [Y/N]. You'll be staying here for the next two months, so listen to what I'm telling you now. We have a high school over here called Equestria, so maybe you can meet some of the teenagers that go there, since they'll be on summer vacation too. Oh, and here's your room."
You and Aunt Becky walk in a small, compact room with a single bed and dresser. There was a small window overlooking the streets of the city to the left of your bed, and a green plant on the right side.
"Now, I know it isn't very big, but you'll just have to make do. After all, it's only two months." Aunt Becky smiles and looks at you for a response.
"It's…nice, and I'll be fine for now, I guess."
"All right, good. Your Uncle Henry is usually out working, but he'll be home at night in time for dinner." Looking out the window, Aunt Becky puts on a thoughtful face. You go up to see what she's looking at and see a big building with a sign in front of it that reads Equestria High School. "Why don't you go see if anyone is hanging out in front of Equestria? Maybe some of the students haven't left yet."
Deciding to just do as you're told, you nod, grab a water bottle, and walk out of your small room and out the front door of their apartment. After walking down four flights of stairs, you exit through the lobby and find yourself outside. As you make your way over to the park, you see a large statue nearby. Feeling thirsty, you walk towards the statue, open your water bottle, and begin to drink from it. But, as you lean against the statue, it engulfs you, and you fall through to the unknown.
Third Person POV
"Now, I'm sure you're all wondering why I brought you girls here after Twilight's previous encounter with the human world," Princess Celestia says to the six ponies in front of her.
"Yeah, I thought we already defeated Sunset Shimmer! Is she acting up again?" Rainbow Dash asks warily.
Celestia laughs at the rainbow pony's assertiveness, then responds, "No, she is doing quite well in her friendship lessons. But no, you are all here for a different reason."
"A party?" Pinkie Pie guesses.
"Pinkie, do y'all really think that the Princess would invite us here to throw a party in the human world?" Applejack asks Pinkie, and Pinkie slumps down in sadness.
Ignoring the rambunctious pink pony, Celestia turns to Twilight. "Princess Twilight, I must inform you of some rather interesting news. Many years ago, a young filly was born who was said to be a wielder of the Gold Crown, an artifact not unlike your Elements of Harmony. In fact, the Gold Crown is able to actually work with the Elements if especially great power is needed. However, many wanted her dead, and considering that she was a newborn and her parents were mere unicorns unable to protect themselves from such huge threats, she needed to find somewhere safe until she was old enough and strong enough to protect herself from these threats." After a short pause, Celestia continues. "So her parents came to Luna and I, begging for us to send her somewhere safe where nopony would find her. So I sent her to the human world, and she has been raised there as a human ever since. However, now she is about your age and able to defend herself, so I am bringing her back so that she may wield the Gold Crown and be back where she belongs."
A surprised silence holds the room as Celestia finishes her speech. A few of the friends look at each other in awe, but no words are said.
"I have seen when she will be by the portal and when she is near, it will open, since now Luna and I can better control it. Yes, she-"
Princess Celestia is interrupted by screaming and a bright flash of light as a pony stumbles out from the mirror.
Your POV
Screaming, you tumble through a swirling vortex, unaware of whether you are upside down or rightside up. Finally, you collide with a hard, cold floor and lay there in confusion and dizziness. As your vision clears, you find yourself in a room with colorful people looking over you where you lay. Colorful people…? Wait. Not people, ponies! As a pink one pokes your nose, you yell and jump up onto two legs, only to fall down again.
"Pinkie Pie, whatever did you do that for? Give the filly some space," a white one with a purple mane says.
"Sorry, I just wanted to see if she was ok!" the pink one answers, bouncing up and down.
You begin hyperventilating. Ponies are talking. Ponies are talking. Ponies are talking. Suddenly, you feel a gentle hoof on your back, and you look behind you to see a pure white mare with a long, flowing mane.
"Hello," she says calmly. "Don't worry, we won't hurt you."
You gulp nervously and try to stand on two legs again, but fall. Ugh, what is wrong with me? You look down at your body to see that you have no legs, but the body of a pony. You gaze wildly at your [B/C] body, complete with hooves and all. Beginning to hyperventilate again, you grab for your hair, to instead find a [H/C] mane and a tail of the same color. Also, as you felt your head, you found you had a horn. Then, suddenly, something catches your eye. On your flank is a tattoo-looking thing of a golden crown.
The large white mare speaks again. "Calm down, everything's going to be alright. You are a pony, and so you probably shouldn't stand on two legs." She chuckles.
Shakily, you stand up on all four legs, and then take a few cautious steps.
"That's it, you've got it." The sound of a new voice whips your head around, and you turn around to see seven ponies staring at you: an orange one, a yellow one, a blue one, a purple one, a pink one, and two white ones. The purple one was the one who had spoken.
The large white mare approaches you slowly and calmly, and then bends down her head down to speak to you. "What is your name, young one?"
"…[Y/N]. My name is [Y/N]."
"Well, [Y/N], I have brought you here because you may have taken a human form, but you were born here, many years ago, as a pony."
You look up at her frantically. "But then why was I in the human world? Who are my pony parents? Why-" You stop when she holds up a hoof to silence you.
"There will be time to explain later. For now, let me introduce myself. I am Princess Celestia, ruler of this kingdom of Equestria. I cause the sun to rise and set, among other things. This is my sister, Princess Luna, the Princess of the Night. She controls the moon, among other things." It is then that you notice a dark shape in a corner of the room that you had not noticed before. The shape moves, and then comes into the light. You now see that she is a pony with wings and a horn, like Celestia.
"Charmed, I'm sure." She puts out a hoof, and you stare at it questioningly. "Oh, forget it." She walks back to her corner.
"And these ponies are the fillies that wield the Elements of Harmony, jewels that keep the balance of harmony in Equestria. Here, I'll let them introduce themselves." Celestia steps back to reveal six smiling ponies. The first one to step forward is another pony with wings and a horn, the purple one from before. You notice that she is notably smaller than the other two.
"Hi, [Y/N], I'm Twilight Sparkle, Element of Magic. Pleased to meet you."
Next, a blue one with a rainbow mane and tail flies forward. "What's up? I'm Rainbow Dash, Element of Loyalty, famous for my speed and awesomeness across Equestria." You smile and hoof-bump her.
A pretty yellow pegasus with a long pink mane peeks out, and then gracefully approaches you. "Hi, I'm Fluttershy, um, Element of Kindness," she whispers, not looking you in the eye and then quickly stepping back.
An orange pony with a southern accent and cowboy hate plods forward and shakes your hoof roughly. "Howdy, I'm Applejack. I'm pleased to meet ya, [Y/N]. I'm the Element of Honesty, and honestly, I think we'll have some great times together."
Elegantly, a white unicorn steps forward, flipping her gorgeous purple mane as she says, "Why hello, I am Rarity, Element of Generosity. Hmm…you know, I believe that you would look very nice in royal blue. If you ever need any dresses, be sure to stop by my shop."
"My turn, my turn, MY TURN!" An overjoyed pink pony hops forward, nearly ready to burst with excitement. "I'm Pinkie Pie, and we're going to be such great friends! Oh, oh, I know! I'll throw you a pony party, since now, you're a pony! Oh, and I'm the Element of Laughter! Ha ha ha!"
"Now, I know this is a lot to take in, but you will have to grow accustomed to being a pony. I want you to go live with Twilight in Ponyville. Learn about friendship and magic with her, and write me letters of what you learn like the other six do. I will be looking forward to hearing from you."
"Princess, does this mean she will be living in my tree?"
"Yes, Twilight, it will be your responsibility as a princess to welcome [Y/N] back to Equestria and teach her of our history and the magic of friendship."
Twilight nods solemnly, and then turns to you. "Come on [Y/N], let's get you to Ponyville."
"You'll be staying here in my tree during your stay in Ponyville until we can find you a permanent home." Twilight trots in the tree and quickly flips open a book entitled Magic for Beginners. "Oh, here it is!" You walk over to Twilight and look at her book. "This is the book I used when I was first studying magic. I don't need it anymore, and you don't know anything about magic yet, so I want you to have it."
"Wow..." you say. "I don't know what to say, but thank you." You begin to flip through the pages, skimming through each spell until one catches your eye. "Hmm, levitation...is that an easy one?"
"Yes, and it's a practical one that you can use on a daily basis." Twilight looks around and then runs and grabs a quill, then drops it on the table. "Here, try to levitate this quill. Ok, now really focus your entire mind on this quill. Your horn controls the magic, so aim it at the quill."
You set your mind completely on the quill, taking a deep breath as you feel power coursing through your horn. A pink aura suddenly surrounds the quill and it begins to slightly lift from the table.
"Yes, yes, that's it!" Twilight whispers as you continue to lift the quill.
All of a sudden, the quill is off the ground and in your horn's magical grasp. You laugh with joy and move the quill around a bit, feeling as though you were doing what you were meant to do.
"Nice work, [Y/N]! You've already figured out the basics of levitating. You sure do have strong magic within you, despite the fact that's it's never been used for all these years." You smile at her, finally putting the quill down on the table and breathing a sigh of relief. "And now, it's time for you to learn about the magic of friendship!"
"What?" You ask, as if she were talking about something stupid.
"Yes, you heard me, the magic of friendship. I want you to go into Ponyville and meet lots of ponies, you know, to become friends with. Also, you should probably visit the other five girls that were there to meet you when you entered Equestria. They're really nice, and I know we can all become the best of friends."
"Come on, Twilight. The magic of friendship?" You raise an eyebrow at her. "Isn't that kind of cheesy? Does that magic even exist?"
"No, it's not cheesy, and yes, it does exist, and we've used it many times to defend Equestria. This is exactly why you have to learn about friendship. You don't understand it yet, but it could prove to be your greatest asset in an emergency. I didn't understand friendship when I moved to Equestria either, but I learned its importance with the help of my new friends. Now, you must do the same."
With a sigh, you reply, "Fine, I'll go make some friends."
YAAAY! Sorry, I just had to get that out of my system. Anyways, I hope you guys like it, and I hope to be writing more chapters in the future. Reviews are appreciated, as are suggestions for future chapters. Thank you for reading, until next time, this is Bronygirl6729.
