An Unexpected Somepony

by dudephat


Conversation With Twilight

"What do you mean, 'It's you?' You don't even know who I am!" I shouted, confused.
"It was one day when I was on a secret mission for the princesses, and I traveled through time into the future. I still can't tell anypony what I saw, but I did see you."
"Okay? You saw me. Didn't you see a lot of ponies? What makes me so important?", I asked her, still confused.
"You were..." she trailed off, obviously thinking. "You were an important pony. Somepony that I would need to keep track of.", she said, clearly having difficulties trying to keep it secret.
I looked at Rainbow Dash. She shrugged. "When you say that I was somepony you'd need to keep track of, is that in a good way, or a bad way.", I asked, hoping that I didn't become a bad guy in the future.
"I can't tell you. It's the future. I can't interfere with it." she said, but the expression on her face said it all. What things could I possibly end up doing in the future that make me such a bad pony?
"Wait, why can't you tell me? I don't know much about time travel, actually."
"It's really complicated stuff, let's just call it 'wibbly-wobbly-timey-wimey stuff', okay?", she said, looking at me again. "Wait a second, when I saw you in the future, you were a Unicorn", she said, confused. "But, right now, you're a Pegasus."
Maybe she didn't see me, then. Maybe it was somepony else who looks like me.
"Heh, maybe he was an alicorn, Twilight!", Rainbow said, laughing.
"No, he didn't have any wings. He couldn't have been an alicorn..." she trailed off again, in deep thought.
This is quite confusing. How could I end up losing my wings, and end up with a horn? I mean, it's not like ponies can be both a Unicorn and a Pegasus but not an alicorn, right? I decided to ask Twilight that.
"Well, there have been a few ponies that can change between being a Pegasus and a Unicorn, but that's extremely rare. They would be able to change forms just by thinking about it."
Just by thinking about it, huh? I decided to give it a try. I concentrated hard, and imagined myself with a horn, instead of wings.
Suddenly, I heard Twilight gasp. "You-you just..."
Yep, I think it worked.
"You look funny!" said Rainbow Dash, trying to hold back laughter.
"Gee, thanks." I said sarcastically. I concentrated on turning back into a pegasus, and I after a few seconds, I could feel my wings, which I still couldn't use.
"Interesting..." said Twilight, who then came to look at my cutie mark, which I then hid with my wing. She used her magic to move my wing out of the way.
"Huh. You don't have a cutie mark. That's very odd..."
"Ah, yeah, that's a long story" I said, not wanting to have to tell the whole story again.
"Don't worry, I've got plenty of time.", she said, getting comfortable.
So, I told her the story, of how I'm actually a human, how I got here, that I have no idea how I got here, and how I don't remember anything about my life from before. When I was done, Twilight looked very confused.
"So, you have no idea?" Twilight asked for the third time.
"No idea", I said again.
"Well, until you get used to being a pony, you're gonna need a place to stay."
"I got that covered!" Rainbow Dash said, smiling. "You can totally stay at my place! It's the coolest place ever!" she said.
"Uh, Rainbow?", Twilight asked, staring at Rainbow. "He's a human, so he's not really going to know how to fly." she pointed out.
"I can teach him, duh! I'm the best flyer in all of Equestria. You think I wouldn't be able to teach him?", she said. Twilight looked at Rainbow Dash, then back at me. She stared at Rainbow Dash for a second, who chuckled, and then blushed. Ah, shit. She better not be blushing because of me.
"Alright, as long as you teach him how to fly.", Twilight agreed.
"AW YEAH! This is going to be so awesome!" Rainbow said, beaming. "Time to go see my place, and where you're going to be staying, roommate!", she said to me, excited.
"Um, Rainbow?", Twilight said. "He... can't fly?"
Rainbow rolled her eyes. "Yes, Twilight, I know that already, jeez! I'm going to fly him up there!", she said, grinning. I gave her a look that said 'are you crazy?'
"Don't worry, it'll be fine!", she said to me.
It'll all be fine?
"Okay, fine, but if anything goes wrong, I'm blaming it on you!", I said, not in the mood for any more problems today.
