        This morning I had finished my science project. We had been asked to recreate a scientific object in a miniature model. Of course we had been told that they didn’t   have to work but we tried to get them too. I had created a particle accelerator and my best friend had made a made a device that slows down light. He didn’t tell me what it was but it seemed powerful. We left them at my house so that we didn’t have to leave them at school an extra day. We arrived as usual and entered our first class, Biology, when I saw a bright flash of light and fell down. I lifted myself up and looked at my friend. He had also pulled himself up.
        “Are you two okay?” asked Mr. Danworth
        “Ya. I’m fine,” I said.
        “Me too,” he said.
        “Alright. Get to your seats.”
        We sat down in our usual places and turned towards the board. About halfway through class Mr. Danworth decided to have someone go up to the board and answer a question. I tend to wear my hood like hair in a way. It just hangs from my head. Anyway Mr. Danworth called me up to answer the question.
        “Of course I’ll do it sir.”
        I stood and walked up to the board. As I did Mr. Danworth called out to me.
        “Mr. Teles. Please take off the hoodie.”
        “What? Oh yeah.”
        I pulled off the hoodie and there was a loud gasp from everyone. I stopped.
        “What’s the matter?” I asked.
        That’s when my friend ran up to me.
        “Excuse us for a moment,” my friend said.
        He dragged me out of class and into the bathroom.
        “What’s going on?” I asked.
        “Check the mirror.”
        “What do you me-” I stopped and gapped at my reflection.
        For those of you who haven’t guessed what’s happening I’ll tell you. My human ears were gone and towards the top of my head was pony ears. Not just any ears either. These ears were pony ears of a sky-blue color. And these weren’t like your usual equine ears. They were the ears of a pony from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
        “How the hell?” I gasped.
        “I don’t know dude.”
        “Wait. Check your head. I can’t be the only one. I know it,” I said.
        He proceeded to push his bushy hair out the way and gasped. His ears were a lime green color.
        “What’s going on?” he said.
        “I don’t know but we need to get home.” I said.
        “Alright let’s go.”
        “Wait. You don’t think they’ll let us go that easily do you?”
        “We have weirdly colored pony ears on our heads.”
        “Valid point.”
        We poked our heads out the bathroom door and raced out towards the front door when *wham* a girl ran into me.
        “Oh! Sorry but I-” she stopped as she saw my ears. She dropped into my lap crying.
        “What’s the matter?” I asked.
        “I’m not the only one. I’m not the only one.” She repeated.
        I turned my eyes to her head. She had light purple ears on her head. Similar in shape to mine but less pointed and whole unlike Andy.
        “Um Len?”
        “What?” I responded.
        “We might wanna bring her with.”
        “Why?”
        “She has the same issue as us and might know what caused it.”
        “Alright.”
        I lifted her up and we ran out to Andy’s car. Andy happens to have gotten his license a couple of months ago. I placed the girl in the back seat and climbed into the passenger side. Andy jumped in and started the car.
        “Go to my place. My parents said they were leaving for a week or two to go see my grandparents.”
        “Got it.”
        He turned onto the road leading to my house and  turned into my driveway. I got out and picked up the girl and went inside. 
        “What’s going on?” asked Andy.
        “I have no idea.”
        “We need to figure-” he stopped.
        “What?”
        He pointed at our science experiments. They worked hooked together and attached to a computer that was loading an mlp episode. 
        “Oh. Buck. No. SAM! GET OUT HERE NOW!”
        “I CAN”T. I’M THE BATHROOM!” he yelled back.
        “OH YEAH? WHAT COLOR ARE YOUR EARS?” I yelled.
        He walked out of the bathroom and came to the living room and looked at me.
        “Green.”
        “Mine are light blue.”
        “Oh…”
        “What did you do?”
        “My computer charger vanished so I tried connected that thing but it wasn’t enough so I connected the other thing and it turned on.”
        “You. Are. A. Freaking. Idiot.”
        “Why?”
        “This is your fault.”
        “What?”
        I explained to him what he had done. In the meantime Andy grabbed some chips and dip. After I finished Sam turned a ghostly white. He sat down, stunned. The girl groaned. I walked to the other side of the couch.
        “Ugh. Where am I?” she asked.
        “Welcome back to the world of the living,” I said.
        “What? Where am I?”
        “At my house.”
        “Why?”
        “You fainted.”
        “Oh.”
        She sat up and asked for water. Andy grabbed it while I explained to her what we knew had caused it.
        “So there’s no way to reverse it?”
        “Nope.”
        “We need more people to help,” said Andy.
        “I got it,” I went over to my computer and got on all the MLP FiM sites I knew of letting everyone know what was happening and I asked them all to gather in Chicago due to it being the closest large well-known city. I turned back to everyone.
        “So who wants to go to Chicago?”
        “Why Chicago?” asked Andy.
        “It’s well known and easy to get too.”
        “Oh…”
        “Everyone into the car.”
        They all headed out while Andy and I grabbed the stuff we would need for Chicago.. We headed out within the hour. I sat in the passenger seat. Andy drove and the girl, her name was Alex, and Sam sat in the back seat. Andy started the car up and we headed out.



Meanwhile~
Luna galloped into the hall and ran up to Celestia.
"Sister did you feel it?"
"Yes."
"What does it mean?"
"Our world is going to change. For better or worse I don't know yet."
