It was another beautiful day in Ponyville, this is a place that is always sunny, perfect weather (Because the Pegasi control the weather, DUUUUUHHH!) and there hasn’t been any strange happenings in a while…
Wait…uh oh…I should really be on the lookout, it’s a perfect day, no happenings in a while…it could happen at any moment!
You know of which I speak, something WILL happen, like an episode of it happening. A villain, the CMC blowing up the town, Lyra Heartstrings molesting my hands with her weird obsession! It will be something! And if it’s something, Twilight will have something to do with it, she always does. She's like Murphy's Law incarnate or something.
I was heading there anyway, I need a book on how to ask a mare I really like out, her name is Graceful Flight (Pony names are quite cheesy) and I feel like she’s the one, you know…BUTIHAVENOIDEAHOWTOASKHEROUT!
So I enter the castle to find Princess Celestia and Twilight going over something together, some kind of experiment. I guess I'll quickly grab my book and get out before something happens.
“Good Morning, Jason” Celestia greets
“Morning, Princess! How are you today?” I greet back.
“Just fine, I am here to watch Twilight making a possible new spell on Alicorns being able to sense magical energy signatures” Celestia answers
“Sounds pretty interesting” I say
“You’re welcome to watch if you want, Jason” Twilight says
Well, I am not in hurry or anything, nothing too pressing today, I may as well.
“Sure, why not?” I say as I sat in a chair
“Wonderful. Shall I get started, Pr—Celestia?” Twilight asks
“Please continue” Celestia says, giving Twilight the incentive to start.
Twilight then charged her horn full of magical energy and she concentrated hard, mental arrows seem to be pointing to Celestia strongly, I have no magic so none to me but multiple arrows were pointing right outside the door to the Unicorns, Pegasi and Earth ponies of Ponyville. I imagine the stronger signatures were the unicorns due to their magical connections they have.
Twilight looked each way and charged more energy but lightning was starting to come out of Twilight's horn along with a pure white aura around herself.
“Twilight, lower your magic output quickly!” Celestia warned Twilight.
Twilight was trying to do so, I could tell but the magic was not lowering it's power.
“What’s going on? It won’t go down!” Twilight was panicking
“Keep trying!” Celestia says
Too late it seems, Twilight’s going to some sort of surge the did a quick burst of lightining and OWWWWWW AHHHHHHHHHHHH!! OH LORD THAT HURTS! HEAD HURT! PAIN TOO MUCH!
SO MUCH BLAAAAACKK…..
“Princess? Princess Celestia?” I hear Twilight voice
Ow, no need to prod my head Twilight.
“Twilight, will you please stop that?” I said a bit rudely
“I’m sorry Celestia, you had been unconscious for ten minutes now” Twilight says
Wait, what? She’s calling me Celestia and my voice sounds all wrong, IT’S GIRLY! I open my eyes and I got Twilight’s concerned face over me.
“Twilight? Did you bump your head with whatever you did? It’s me Jason! Not Celestia!” I say
“But how can that be? You sure you are alright, Celestia?” Twilight asks with a confused look on her face.
I have no idea what’s going on but then I head a male groaning, but that’s weird there’s no other guy but me and Spike’s not around, he’s in Canterlot with Princess Luna.
I turn my head and is that me trying to get up? What the--?
“Twilight, my former student, what just happened?” the Me over there asks
What?? What the hell!? Is that me over there trying to talk like Celestia? I…have no idea what’s going on anymore…
“Jason, good to see you’re okay” Twilight says to the me over there
“Twilight? It’s me, Celestia” Not-Me says
“And I’m Jason! But why’s me over there?” I say
“I am Celestia but I seem to be seeing myself over there calling herself Jason” Celestia says at the same time.
We both inspect our bodies, I saw white hooves…I’m a pony! And there’s a feeling in my hair…it’s flowing…with Celestia’s colours….OH NO! NO! DOES THAT MEAN THAT I’VE….
“Then, Jason must be in Princess Celestia's body and Princess Celestia is in Jason's body” Twilight deduces
Both Celestia and I look in shock it must have been what happened, I proceeded to do the most undignified scream ever.
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!” I screamed
Six hours later...okay it was six seconds later really...
“AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!” I finished screaming
I took breaths as I let it sink in, oh god, this feels so wrong! My legs feel wrong, my entire body is wrong even my lower area feel wrong! Oh god, what if I go into heat while in this thing? NO BAD JASON! BAD THOUGHTS! AWAY FOUL THOUGHTS!
“Well, this is most unexpected” Celestia-in-me says
“This…does not feel right! Can we get to the part of me being back in my own body? This is all wrong!” I ask Twilight
“I…don’t even know what I did to make you go into each other’s bodies, I don’t even know what made me do…what I did” Twilight says with a shamed look on her face
“YOU MEAN WE’RE STUCK THIS WAY!?” I shouted at Twilight
“Jason, please calm yourself, I am sure Twilight and I can find a way to reverse this” Celestia says
“But you have no magic at all, because I don’t have magic being from Earth and I now do but have no idea how to use it and now I am now the Princess of a country I have no idea how to rule. In short, Shit hit the fan and sprayed down our mouths” I say in a panic.
We are so screwed! I have no idea how royalty works or anything, oh what do I do? Where's the magic solution when you need it?
“We shall not give up, Jason. While these events that have transpired have been most unusual, we will find a way. For now, I suggest we should try get used to our own bodies and live out our lives until such time, a way to reverse this is found” Celestia says
It’s weird hearing that in my voice, but I guess I have no choice.
“Yes, but the two of you can’t go parading about acting like yourselves, you’ll cause a lot of unwanted attention and chaos, not to mention you Jason, must live out Celestia’s life without any possible consequences happening and Celestia must out Jason’s life. It’s a huge challenge within itself” Twilight explains
“That’s true, but I have no idea how royalty works, I don’t even talk like Celestia” I say
“You have no idea how weird it is to hear myself talking like you” Celestia says
“Amen” I agree to her comment.
“I recommend telling Luna about this, she’ll help you out and also see if we can get Princess Cadence to help out as well. Also Twilight, please keep this between Spike and your friends only. Should word get out of this, there will be trouble for all of us and when we’re in public you call me Jason and Jason, Celestia” Celestia advises
Great, this is what happens when you ignore a clear Murphy's Law sign, you get in Celestia body while she takes yours.
I can just hear somepony saying “Why are you complaining? You got the body of Princess FREAKING Celestia!” I’d rather my own body and I’m sure Celestia more than wants hers back.
“Well, why don’t we try getting used to our bodies for the moment, both of you are still on the ground” Twilight advises
“Easier said than done, this body doesn’t feel right at all, I feel like my legs from my body were replacing my hands” I groan as I made my first attempt
Alright, I manage to get my front hooves on balance, now to get the back legs on annnd... WOOOOAHHH!
CRASH!
CRASH!
Owwww! That faceplant totally hurt…and judging from Celestia over there, she didn’t have any better luck than me.
“Oh dear, I did not think about being less pain resistant in your body than my one” Celestia said as she managed to sit up.
“Pain resistant you may be, but that faceplant fucking hurt!” I was holding my face with my hooves in pain
“Well to be fair, it wasn’t too bad of an attempt. I managed to get in my human body after a few minutes but I could also teach you, Jason how to walk as a pony as I am one myself” Twilight tries to be the bright side.
“Twilight first, human girls are much thinner and have a different center of gravity like I am sure Stallions did, if you went into my body you wouldn’t have the same used to as your human self would in that world you went to. Secondly, I can’t explain to Celestia walking cause…well I just walk, I don’t know how it works I just do it, it’s natural as breathing and finally, Celestia towers of you in size and I have about a very limited time to learn to walk as a pony” I point out the flaws in that
“We’ll just work with what we have Jason, I am sure Celestia can master your body before anypony notices she…he…is missing” Twilight says
“Thank the luck gods/goddesses that it’s Saturday, which means Celestia here has a day or two to learn my body” I say, knowing Celestia has time.
“But I’m afraid I said I’d be back for lowering the sun which means we have about 6 hours before I am supposed to be back” Celestia says
A scream from Twilight just deafened our ears.
“What? WHAT!? WHAT NOW?” I panicked
“I just realized since Jason knows no magic, he has to get used to it and HE CAN’T MOVE THE SUN!” Twilight just realized.
“Oh shit, that’s right…does Luna know how to do it?” I realize this problem and a probably solution
“Yes, we taught each other the spells to raise and lower both Sun and Moon in case one of us…ever disappeared, she’s a bit rusty but she can do it” Celestia says, clearly remembering Nightmare Moon.
Oh good, then Luna can buy me some time to get used to Celestia’s life and maybe teach me to raise and lower the sun.
“Awesome, than she can raise the Sun and Moon while I get used to this body” I say
“But not for too long before ponies notice, especially the nobles. Twilight, you know how to send letters to Spike, correct?” Celestia asks
“I remember the spell like the back of my hoof, Princess” Twilight answers
“Excellent, I need you to send a letter to Spike who should be with Luna right now, tell him what has happened and tell him to tell Luna what has happened also. Explain what must be done and tell her to come here with Spike, do you understand?” Celestia gives an order
“I understand” Twilight nods
“Then go summon your friends here and explain the situation, and they need to swear to the utmost secrecy of this issue” Celestia adds
“Okay, I’ll get to work” Twilight says as she rushes out the room.
We are in some shit, but I am not failing Celestia and compromising all of Equestria possibly so I will try my best to get through this.
