//------------------------------// // The New Alicorn in Town // Story: Destined for Chaos // by ChaosknightRB //------------------------------// The New Alicorn in Town Twilight stood dumbfounded as she looked at Chase. The circle around him had completely disappeared, leaving behind slight burn marks in the wooden floor. "But...how...why...I don't...understand." Twilight managed to say. Chase sighed. Of course this would happen. I just have the best luck. "So, how bad is it?" Twilight shook her head and quickly tried to regain her composure. "I-It's not bad, but I mean, It should have worked. This...this is just, surprising." "Surprising? I've been turned into a pony. Surprising is definitely not the word I'd use to describe the situation." "Well, you see..." she began shuffling her hoof on the ground. "There's more to it than that." Chase gave Twilight a suspicious look. "What do you mean by more?..." Twilight began to look around as she spotted a mirror. Using her magic, she levitated the tall vanity mirror over to him. As the it landed gently in front of him, he saw his new form staring back at him. Before him stood a pony with a dark brown coat, and a red mane with a single glowing highlight in it. Chases gaze was fixed on the horn that adorned his head. "I'm a...unicorn?" Twilight gestured him to look back. Turning around, he saw a pair of wings folded neatly on his sides. "With wings?" Well if you're going to be a pony, might as well have all the cool pony things. "So what am I exactly, a Pegacorn or a Unisus?" Twilight giggled a little at the comment. "Actually, it's called an Alicorn. There's only a handful in all of Equestria, most of them are members of the Royal family as well." I'm like pony royalty?...I can dig it. "So, what do we do now that the spell didn't work AND I'm an Alicorn thingy." Twilight sat down as she pondered the question. "Well the spell should have worked, but maybe something was missing. As for your change, I'll have to contact Princess Celestia. She knows far more than I when it comes to magic." "Celestia, she's the sun raising one right?" She nodded. "Yes, she's also been my teacher ever since I was a young filly. I'll just go get Spike and we'll-" Her words were cut off by the sound of a crash in the main room. "What in Equestria was that?" The two quickly rushed over to find Pinkie Pie and Rarity had fallen over in front of a wooden door that had been knocked off one of its hinges. "Pinkie!" Rarity yelled. "You can't come in here, there's no-" she stopped as she looked up at Twilight and the strange Alicorn. A look of embarrassment crossed her face as she blushed. "Why hello Twilight. Did we drop in at a, um...bad time?" What does she mean by "bad time?"... Chase looked up from Rarity and immediately to Twilight standing next to him. Her face blushed as she gave an angry took towards the white mare in front of her. Chase immediately put a hoof to his face. "No Rarity, it wasn't. But breaking through my door at any time is usually considered a bad time." she scolded Rarity. "Now, what is so important that you two came crashing in like this?" Pinkie immediately jumped up and began talking far faster than anyone could hope to understand. Rarity stood up and put a hoof in her mouth. "She has been going on about seeing some strange creature fall out of the package I was bringing here." "But I DID see it. He was all like, tall and sitting inside your box. Then when we fell out I was all like Hi! and then he was all like Hi!" Pinkie began frantically. "Then I sang my super duper welcome song, and then POOF! He was gone." Rarity rolled her eyes. "Pinkie dear, I insist that you stop eating so many sweets. It's starting to cause you to see things." she turned her attention back to Chase. "We have a guest here after all, there is no need to bother him with such nonsense." Pinkie looked and finally noticed him standing there, giving an awkward smile in response. "Hmm..." Pinkie said as she approached the stranger. Her expression becoming serious, she began to walk around him as she inspected him closely. What is she doing? Am I about the be eaten or something? He looked over at Twilight who merely gave him a shrug saying that she had no idea what was going on. She finally stopped after making a full lap around him and stood mere inches from his face and looking directly into his eyes. The two looked at each other as Chase tried to maintain his awkward smile. "Aha!" Pinkie suddenly said. "I knew it!" Without warning, the pink pony suddenly began bouncing around yelling, "I found him, I found him!" The three others in the room were all greatly confused, Rarity even more so. "Pinkie," she began. "What in the name of Celestia are you talking about?" Bouncing over by Rarity, she had a huge grin on her face. "I never forget a face, even if it changed." Yeah that made a whole lot of sense. "This is the one I was telling you I saw a few minutes ago." Rarity looked at Chase, still awkwardly smiling, and over to Twilight. She simply nodded. "C-Chase." she said in shock. "Is it...how is it...you're..." "Yeah, I'm a pony.' he looked over to Pinkie. "The result of a failed spell, no less." "Failed?" Rarity gave him a quizzical look. "Chase dear, do you see the significance of being what you are now?" Chase shrugged. "Not really. I've got a horn and wings, so that makes me special or something right?" Rarity gave a look of amazement at his response, as she was about to speak Twilight broke in. "Alicorns are among the most powerful beings in all of Equestria, the world even! To be one will likely cause more attention to be brought to you than if you remained human." Lovely. That's exactly what I wanted to hear... "So what do I do?" "Well first, we write a letter to Princess Celestia to explain the situation." she began. "We'll want to await her response. I'll go find Spike." Without another word she disappeared in a a blink of purple light. Moments later she reappeared with the baby dragon beside her who quickly ran over to a desk containing papers and a quill. Twilight cleared her throat as she began to say what needed to be written down. Dear Princess Celestia, An unusual situation has occurred here in Ponyville that requires your immediate attention. After meeting with a being from a different world called a "human," I attempted to send him back only to have a completely different effect. The spell instead turned him into an Alicorn. Knowing how important this is, I am writing you for advice on how to handle this situation. Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle. As Spike finished this letter, he spat out green flames that immediately burnt the letter into a puff of smoke. "Umm," Chase said confused. "Weren't you supposed to send that letter?" "That's how I send-" within moments, Spike let out a belch as a stream of green flames came out as well as a rolled up scroll with a gold seal adorning a neatly tied ribbon. Well that was the second, no, third weirdest thing I've seen today...it's been a rough day. Without hesitation, Twilight levitated the letter over to her and began reading the contents. Dear Twilight Sparkle, I thank you for bringing this news to my attention. I will arrange transportation for the two of you to come to Canterlot tomorrow at noon. Please make sure he is taken care of until this time. Yours truly, Princess Celestia Twilight sighed in relief. "At least we know the situation is under control." She turned to Rarity. "Rarity, would you mind watching after him again tonight?" "Uuuhhgg." Chase groaned. "Do you really need me to do this?" He was standing atop a large colorful pedestal wearing a very elegant dress. Rarity had been taking measurements and placing pins in certain areas as she wrote down notes on a small clipboard that had been floating beside her. "Please dear, I need to concentrate." she said as another needle went into the dress. "There!" she stepped back. "That should do it. Thanks again dear, no one else was available today and a model was necessary to make this." She used her magic to lift the dress off of him. It's...finally...over! Chase stepped down as he wobbled mildly. "Heh, still getting used to the whole four legged thing." Rarity giggled. "Is there anything you need dear?" Chase looked out a nearby window. It was already nighttime. The dress making had taken hours. "No, I think I'll be going to bed now." he yawned. "It's getting pretty late." "Alright, if you need me I'll be here. I have to finish this order for tomorrow, so I may be up for quite some time." Chase gave a concerned look. "Really? Are you sure you don't need me for anything else?" Rarity quickly shook her head. "Goodness no. You've a meeting with the princess tomorrow, I couldn't possibly ask you to stay up so late for me." Chase thought to himself for a moment. "You know, if we worked on it together we'd be able to get it done much faster." he began. "Think about it, two people- I mean ponies are far more efficient than one." "But-" Chase put a hoof up to silence her, wobbling slightly as his balance was suddenly thrown off. Chase blushed as they both laughed. "Well, it's decided then." Chase said. "I'm helping you one way or the other." Rarity let out a light sigh as she smiled. "Thank you, Chase."
