	"Funny, and I was about to say: this day couldn't get any worse." Mikel grumbled, pulling over for the cop. Today was a dreary Saturday, and Mikel's birthday. His day had been horrible. His day started when he accidentally spilled coffee on his shirt rushing out the door due to over sleep, and continued when he forgot his laptop at home. He had to rush back home, only to find the laptop completely dead. When he finally got in to the office, he was late. To top things off, the report he had been working on for the bast month had gotten deleted, via thumb drive "malfunction" (he dropped it in the street). When he was finally able to recover it, it was already 5 hours late. Now he was going to be late home and miss one of his only joys in life.
"What seems to be the problem officer?" The fresh out of collage Mikel asked.
"Do you know your back lights are out?" The cop asked.
"No I did not sir." Mikel replied.
"You were also going 5 miles over the speed limit." The cop said pulling out a pad of paper and a pencil. "I'm gonna have to see your drivers license." Mikel grimaced as he reached for his wallet and handed it to the cop. The cop took it and wrote down a few things on the pad of paper. He ripped it off and handed it, along with the wallet, back to the Mikel. 
"Now you drive safe now." the cop said.
"Thank you officer." Mikel said as the cop walked back to his car. Mikel waited until the cop drove off and dropped his hand on the steering wheel, causing the horn to honk. He picked his head and drove back home. 
"Why today?" Mikel asked the sky. "It's my birthday."



Mikel finally got home, and sure enough: he missed the first episode of season 5, mlp. He walked inside the house. He walked to the TV and turned on the DVR.
"What a surprise! The DVR didn't record it!" Mikel said sarcastically. He walked to the kitchen. Mikel lived in a small, 1 story house. He was alone here. "But hey, at least I get tomorrow off." Mikel said, trying to stay positive. "After all, I have been working on that rocket desighn for that NASA scientist." Mikel was an engineer. He was pretty good at science. His parents had sent him a package, his birthday present. He opened it. It was a new tee. The angering thing wasn't that it was a tee, he asked for one, but when he asked for a tee, he asked for a tee with Rainbow Dash on it. But no, he got a plain tee. It was 5 sizes to small. He sighed. "This is the worst birthday ever." Mikel decided to just got to bed. That night he tossed and turned, for 3 hours. He felt uncomfortable the whole time. When he finally fell asleep, he had a strange dream. In the dream, he was walking down a concrete road. It was decollete for miles. As he walked the street soon turned to a light path. He continued walking. Soon, he passed by a transparent Rainbow Dash, walking in the other direction. He tried to say hi, but he couldn't say anything. He also found that he couldn't stop walking. After some more walking the light path turned to a dirt road. Soon the dirt road led to a small cloud, hovering only a few inches off the ground. on the cloud, curled up, was a sleeping (solid) Rainbow Dash. She was snoring happily. Mikel didn't stop walking. Mikel eventually tripped on the cloud and fell on top of Rainbow. It felt like her fur was sticking to his skin. Where ever her main touched his hair, it stuck to it. He soon had rainbow hair, and blue under arms. He (not in control of himself) curled up to match Rainbow's position. Mikel then started sinking into rainbow. He went numb as his body parts entered and vanished. He lifted his head up, for a brief moment before it was pulled under, to call for help, but no sound came out as his head submerged. He then felt, nothing. He couldn't feel any part of his body. The only feeling he had left disipated.



"GAH!" Mikel sat upright with a start. He was in a sweat. He swiped the sweat off his brow with his hoof.  "That was a weird dream." he said. "No more chocolate cupcakes before bed." Mikel got out of bed and slowly clopped over to the bathroom. His carpet felt different. He pushed open the bath room door. He looked in the mirror. He gasped and let is muzzle drop open. Judging by his reflection, he now had a main, and a rainbow one at that. He had a coat of sky blue fur covering his entire body, including his four hooves, his muzzle, and his ears. He also had a tail to match his new main. On his new flank he had the image of a cloud with a rainbow lightning bolt coming out of the bottom.
"I..." Mikel stuttered. "I'm Rainbow Dash!!!!!!!"
