Light shined in through my window as the sun rose over the treetops, blinding me momentarily. I really needed to close my blinds at night. I would've continued lying in bed, seeing as I was exhausted from the day before, but the sight of my new Minifridge Shrine distracted me. As I turned my head towards it, I couldn't help but smile. It was a beautiful sight.
I pushed the covers off of me, stretching a bit as I climbed out of bed and walked to the bathroom. I jumped back from the mirror in a moment of startlement, before remembering the situation. I had to get Slyph back for that at some point. I couldn't stay like this forever.
After brushing my teeth, I realized I had to pee. Instinctively I walked over to the toilet and lifted the seat, only to realize that wouldn't work anymore.
I sighed. "Oh yeah... Day 3 of not being able to pee standing up..."
Still not used to the concept, I did my business and headed downstairs to have some breakfast. Walking into the kitchen, I knew what I wanted to have. I walked over to the counter and looked up, stretching my front hoof up to the cupboard, trying to reach the cereal box on the top shelf.
"Gah, I know I could reach that thing a couple of days ago."
Giving up, temporarily, I pulled a chair over from the dining room to stand on. I grabbed the box of my favorite cereal and pulled out a bowl. As I shook the box out over the bowl, all that came out were a few crumbs and some grains of sugar.
"Oh come on..." I exclaimed to the empty room.
With nothing else available to eat, I pulled out the box of Bran Flakes that had migrated to the back of the cupboard, and poured some into the bowl. Figuring they'd probably taste bearable with some milk, I grabbed the carton from the fridge and poured some in as well. Finally satisfied, I sat down to eat. They tasted like cardboard and basically fell apart in my mouth. I spat them back out into the bowl, making an urgent mental note to buy more of my favorite cereal, and to never buy Bran Flakes again.
Suddenly, there was a knock at my door. It startled me for a second, because I hadn't expected anyone to be coming over today.
I recovered from my momentary shock, and went to the door.
"Hello? Who's there?" I called through the door.
"It's Parchy and Infinite" a deep voice called back. "We were gonna go hang out and were wondering if you wanted to come."
I looked through the peephole to see a dark green colored pegasus with a brown, spiked mane and black sunglasses standing behind a straw-colored unicorn with a brown mane draped over his face, with a red streak down the center. Yep, that was Infinite and Parchy.
"Ok, just give me a minute. I'll be right out." I called back.
I went upstairs to put away my guitar that I'd left out last night, and make sure everything was where it was supposed to be. Content with how everything looked, I descended down the staircase and back to the door.
I turned the knob and swung the door towards me to see both Parchy and Infinite sitting on the front steps playing "Rock, Paper, Scissors". As an earth pony, I'll never understand how they did that.
As they heard the door swing open, they both turned around. Both looked a little surprised before appearing to remember the situation. Parchy just went back to wanting to play, but Infinite held the gaze a little longer. Even through his sunglasses, I could tell he was staring at me with a certain desire in his heart.
"Oh great..." I thought to myself.
"Well, hello there." Infinite said, looking over his sunglasses.
"Hey. So, what did you guys want to do?" I asked, ignoring Infinite as best I could.
"Well, we were just thinking, since Infinite and I both have the day off from work, we figured we could find some other friends that had nothing better to do today. We didn't really have a 'plan', so to say." Parchy replied.
"Although," Infinite chimed in, floating up the porch to my left side. "I certainly would love to make plans with you." he smiled, trying to put his wing over my shoulder.
"Infinite, you're fired." I replied, giving him a glare.
"Alright, alright. Calm down, guys. Infinite, put it back in. Come on." Parchy reasoned. "Why don't we just go into town and see if there's anything going on. Maybe we can find something fun to do there."
"Ok, let's go." I said walking down to the sidewalk.
"Wait! Do you think I could use your bathroom first? I had to call the plumber earlier because a pipe burst." Parchy asked, grinning like a dork.
"Ugh, fine. Go ahead, but don't mess with anything." I responded, opening the door to let him in. "The bathroom's up the stairs and to the right."
Parchy dashed up the stairs as soon as I opened the door. Out of paranoia, I decided to wait at the top of the stairs for him. I didn't need him getting curious.
I heard the door slam as he went in the bathroom, and subsequently heard the toilet flush when he was done. The door opened again, and a much more relaxed Parchy came out. He looked around the room a bit, and his eyes fell on the Minifridge Shrine that was set up next to my bed. He stared for a moment as my heart attempted to beat out of my chest and my knees started shaking.
"Oh Celestia...! He sees it...!" I thought.
Parchy studied the shrine for a moment, a rather puzzled look on his face. Then that look changed as if a lightbulb just turned on in his head. He turned around with a slight smirk on his face.
"So... you like... minifridges, eh?" Parchy asked, that smirk still on his face.
"Yeah, they're ok, I guess." I tried to put on my best poker face, but it didn't seem like Parchy was buying it.
"So... just for the sake of asking... what's your take on... bass players?" he asked.
I could swear there was hair on my head that had caught fire, I was so mad. Just the thought of a bass player infuriated me. Yet, at the same time that I was enraged that he would ask such a question, I began to get worried. Parchy was starting to put the pieces together.
"...unicorns are OP..." Slyph had said. Parchy was a unicorn too. Was it possible he'd figured out I'd been turned into a girl? Was it possible he knew the spell that had turned me this way?
"I don't really care for them, honestly." I said, finally answering his question. I tried to put on my best 'distasteful' face, but Parchy just held that same smirk.
"Yeah, I'm sure you don't." he said, walking past me and back down the stairs.
"Oh whatever." I muttered under my breath, following him back to the door.
I walked back outside to see Infinite leaning against the doorframe, smiling at me.
"You know, you remind me of a Star Trek phaser. You're just stunning." Infinite said.
I just looked at him for a moment, desperately trying to send him a message with my eyes. "Not even on your death bed." I tried to say to him. Apparently it didn't work.
"Larscis would disapprove." I said crossly. "Come on, let's go." I said, motioning to Parchy as I speed-walked to the sidewalk.
Infinite paced down the porchway to walk next to Parchy, who proceeded to smack him in the back of the head.
"Knock it off, will ya." Parchy scolded. "She's not your type."
"Oh Parchy. Of course she's my type. She's breathing, isn't she?" Infinite replied, trotting to keep up.
Rolling his eyes, Parchy trotted behind Infinite as he tried to catch back up to me.
As we made our way into the town, I noticed a cute gray stallion with a blue mane, black and white baseball cap and large framed glasses sitting at a table eating break-
"NO!"
"What?"
"No, we are not making this one of those crappy 'ship-your-OC-to-the-main-character' fanfics." the author's left brain said.
"Aww, come on. She's so cute though." the author's right brain pleaded. "And everyone wants the ship to happen anyway."
"No!" Left Brain snapped, proceeding to smack Right Brain across the frontal lobe. "We're not putting our OC in this fanfic! Change that line now!"
"Ugh... you frustrate me so much. Why didn't I separate from you already?" Right Brain said.
"Because you're emotionally unstable. Now change it!!" Left Brain ordered.
Suddenly the gray stallion was struck by a meteor. Nopony seemed to pay any attention to this sudden occurrence, or even acknowledge it's existance. [Author deletes Steel Chords from this fic.]
As I walked into town, I began looking around at a few of the signs overhead. Some were pretty funny, like the Oat-fil-a sign with the fake cows on the front. And then there were some that were obviously geared towards the stallions, sporting pictures of barely dressed mares with the bedroom eyes, looking straight at the camera.
Then, I noticed another sign that was advertising a movie that I'd been wanting to go see for a while. I turned around to face the guys.
"Hey guys, what would you say about going to see a movie?" I asked pointing to the sign.
They both looked at each other for a moment, and shrugged.
"Awesome!" I exclaimed trotting off into the town. Noticing they weren't following me, I turned back. "Come on slow pokes! We've gotta hurry if we're gonna make it in time!"
