//------------------------------// // First Morning As An Anthro Part Two // Story: Wanting to be human // by Vinyl-ScratchDJ17 //------------------------------// "Thats just mad talk! How...how am I supposed to believe that!?" He yells, pounding a fist on the desk. "I know it's hard to believe I turned into this, let alone be right here in front of you. You're not hallucinating, nobody put anything in your coffee there, you're not going crazy. I can assure you that." "This is just crazyness in itself." He sighs heavily, placing his head in his hands. "I have enough to worry about as it is." "You don't need to worry about me. I just came to let you know that I'm Damien, surprsingly the only one in the school. And hope that you can get the message to all the staff in the school." "I do have to say, it's very mature of you to be coming to school, despite being...different." "Yeah, I can't just completely skip school. Yeah it's not my favorite thing to do, but I still have dreams and stuff I hope to accomplish and stuff. So do you think you can tell my teachers and stuff who I am?" "I don't know why I'm doing this. But I'll do it." He sighs again, and does some typing on his computer. for a few minutes, the only sounds to be heard, is our breathing, the sound of Mr. Harches typing on the keyboard, and Katie scratching my chest, which compells me to just relax, and enjoy the feeling. A smile forms it's self on my face, along with a comforting sigh. She comes to rest her head on my shoulder, and closes her eyes. "I'm sleepy, Damien." She whispers into my ear. I barely take notice of it, as Mr. Harches turns away from his computer. "Okay, so it's done, and I will need to get you a new ID." He reaches into a drawer in his desk, and pulls out a small rectangle piece of plastic. "Just look into the camera of this machine here, and stay still." I obey, and smile, staring into the camera, and he pushes a few buttons on it as it comes to life. He then inserts the plascit card into the small white machine. It hums for a short while, and soon comes to settls, and rejects the card. He takes it and hands it to me. I take it into my hands, looking it over, with the school logo, my ID. It has my ID number, my name, my grade, and date of birth, and the face of the yellow pony stallion I have become, in the upper left corner. "Thanks, this means a lot." I reach a hand out to shake his, and he accepts it. "But, don't I have to pay for this?" "Dont worry about it." He yawns, resting his head on his hand. "Thanks again!" I smile, exiting the room, with Katie by my side. "So, shall we head to breakfast at the cafeteria?" She asks, still gently stroking my chest. "I had cereal at home already, but sure, why not. Also I get the feeling you only like me because I'm a pony." I smirk, shooting her a sly smile, as we make our way to the lunch room. "I don't go for appearance. I go for personality, and so far, I like yours. I just like to pet you. I'll stop if you want me to." She blushes, removing her hand from my chest. "I don't mind it when you pet me. You can keep doing it, if you want to." I smile, placing her hand on my chest again, and she resumes scratching my fur. "Like I said, it feels really good." "Okay. So what are you and I gonna talk about?" She asks, moving a bang of her auburn hair out of her light blue eyes, as we walk down the dimly lit hallway, lined with lockers. "Whats it like, being a pony? When you transformed, what was it like?" "Well, I'm content with it, and I didn't experience a transformation. I woke up like this in the dream I told you about, and when Luna made it that I would stay this way, I woke up again like this, in reality." "Thats cool I guess. If you see her again, can you ask her if she can turn me into a pony, too?" She asks, making big puppy dog eyes. "I don't think so. I don't want to be the one to risk ruining your life, so that's a big no. It's because I care about you, you know. Just like with all of my other friends. I bet they're going to flip when they see me." "Awe... But yeah, I wanna see their reactions!" She squees slightly, doing a little skip. "Alright. They're right there." I point towards a group of kids at a table as we enter the cafeteria. "Okay, let's go, I'm hungry!" she says in a sarcastic voice, picking up her pace. I shake my head as she skips ahead to one of the serving lines. "Well, wait up for me!" I chuckle, jogging a bit to catch up to her. By the time I get there, she already has two trays set up with a carton of chocolate milk, a cup of apricots, and a breakfast burrito. "Hey, thanks." I blush, as she gives me on of the trays. "Anything for a friend." She smiles back at me, and punches my right arm. She walks up to the lady at the register, who you can guess was staring at me the whole time. She punches her code into this little contraption, which I have no idea what it's called. You just punch in your ID number, and hit enter, and they let you go. after doing hers, she waits for me, as I punch mine in. "So...hi..." I smile sheepishly at the lunch lady. Did it come up as my old picture, or like this?" I ask, pointing to my face. "Like...that..." She stammers, her hands shaking a bit, pointing at me. "Good." I lead Katie to my groups table, and I take a seat, Katie next to me, making my other four friends look up. "Hey, guys...what's up?" I ask nervously, grabbing my burrito, and eating at least half of it in one bite. "Uh...do we know you? I'm pretty sure we'd recognize a talking... Whatever you are, being in our group." Said Ashlyn. "Actually, it's me...Damien. it's a long story I'll tell if you promise not to call me crazy, plus the fact that I'm probably going to be doing this all day." I sigh, giving a dissmisive wave of my hand, as I swallow my apricots as is. "Oh! Then, you don't have to explain Anything, it's just...weird you've turned into...a pony I assume?" "Yep. I chose to, you could say. For Sally, you know. I'd do anything to keep her happy." "Wait, wait, wait, wait! You're telling me, you turned yourself into a pony!?" Angelo asks, flailing his hands in the air. "Well, I didn't turn myself into a pony. I think I really should explain the story now." "We got nothing else to do. So maybe hearing your twisted tale might give the convo some spice." Mike adds, grinning a little. "Alright. Here I go." I sigh, about to share how I became a pony for the fourth time today. About ten miutes later, Katie was laying her head on me the whole time, as she runs her fingers through my furry chest, making me sigh happily. "So, that's what happened?" Ashlyn wonders. "Yep. Now I'm here with you guys, and my new friend Katie who loves petting me as you can see." I chuckle a little, enjoying katie's affection. "Which I tend to enjoy." I say with a smile, as she pets me. "So...you like that? Being somebody's pet?" Said Angelo. "I'm not being anybody's pet. I just like it when Katie does this." I smile down at the young girl, laying her head on my chest. "It feels really nice when she pets my fur and all." "Yeah! I'm doing this because I want to and because he likes it!" Katie protests, hugging me protectively. "And Damien, can...can I rub your belly, too?" "That's fine by me." I reply, lifting my shirt a bit. "Yay!" She squees, as she goes to scratching her fingers in circles around my stomach instead of my chest. "Awe, ain't that just cute?" Said said Ashlyn, with a sincere smile. "It's weird, is what it is, and cute too, I guess. And I assume you like being a pony?" "For the most part, yeah." I shrug. "I like my fur, though. It's really nice on me." "You don't say..." Ashlyn began "So, Damien, you know I'm supposed to get a hug from you everyday, but you haven't given me a hug yet." She says sternly, crossing her arms. "Alright, come and get it." I laugh, holding my arms out for Ashlyn. She gets up from her side of the table, and comes over to mine, and embraces me in a tight hug. "So, you don't mind I'm a pony at all?" "You're my best friend, Damien. It doesn't matter what you are." She says, tightening her hug on me. "Thanks, Ashlyn. You're the best too." "Damien?" She asks. "Yeah, Ashy?" That's the nickname I made for her. She sighs, tapping her fingers on her knees, sitting in front of me. "I know this may seem sudden...but will you go out with me?" She asks, laying her self on me, also taking me by surprise. "We've known each other for so long, now, and everyday my feelings for you just get bigger, and bigger, until now, I just couldn't resist the urge to ask you. And it's got nothing to so with being a pony, either!" She hugs me again, not as tight, but still tight. "Please give me a chance!" "I...I don't know what to say...I'm just so flattered..." "I'll give you sometime to decide. Until then, I'm calling dibs on petting you!" "Hey!" Said Katie, as she was moved aside. "Remember all those rumors about me having a severe crush on you?" She asks, as she begins to stroke my chest. "They were true, I'm guessing." "Not anymore, because I've completely fallen in love with you. If you want to stay single, I understand. I'm just asking for a chance." "I know. And I'm giving you that chance, because I've always felt the same about you." I smile a bit, running a hand through her hair. "Really? Thank you so much!" She smiles wide, nuzzling her cheek into my fur. "I'm so happy!" "Believe me, I'm happy too." I hug her tighter, as she strokes my chest again. "Can we...if you want to...do you think we can..." She begins to stammer. "Kiss? I would love to." I smile sincerely at her, as she purses her lips, and leans closer, and I do the same, and our lips lock with each other on contact. She wraps her arms around my neck, and I do mine around her waist. I feel my ears splay back, as everything melts away. Closing my eyes, I enjoy every second of my kiss with my new girlfriend. I pull her close, so she comes to sit on my lap, and my tail begins to sway on its own. the taste of her cherry lip gloss rubs off onto mine, as we continue to kiss. Besides everything else, the only thing to be heard is the smacking sound of us kissing, as this moment becomes absolutely perfect. After a while, we finally pull away, and she stares into my eyes, smiling gleefully, as she brings a hand to my cheek. "Thank you, Damien. That was amazing." She says soothingly, then lays her head on my chest. "Your fur is really soft." "Your welcome, and I hope my fur is soft. Even though I'm a pony, I want to be the best for you." I smile with joy, holding Ashlyn in my arms. "As of now, you're totally perfect." She says, as she bring a hand up and begins to scratch my chest again. "I know I said I didn't ask you out because you're a pony, but, I think I like you more with your fur." "Thank you, I like myself more with fur as well. I'll try my best to keep it in a good condition." "Good. Although, that kiss was strange in a way cause I technically kissed a pony. But I know it's you, so that's what made it so enjoyable." She sighs happily, laying her head right under my chin. "Did you enjoy our kiss?" "Very much. This was also very unexpected, but I'm glad it happened. I was thinking of asking you out anyway." I smile down at her, running my fingers through her hair. "Really?" She asks, looking up at me. "Yeah. I also had a big crush on you. But now we're together." I tighten my hold on her, extremely thankful for this moment. "You're so sweet, Damien. That's why I love you." "I love you too, Ashy." I turn my head to see the others with their mouths dropped wide open. "What?" "That escalated really quickly." Said Katie. "Love is love. Deal wit it!" Ashlyn says, jokingly. I watch as she lays her head back down on me, she then takes some of my fur into her mouth, and nibbles on it? "And I thought you were weird, Katie." I said, which earned me a smack from Ashlyn. "But it's cute, Ashy. Just don't pull anything out." She says nothing, but only nods, as she continues to nibble on the hairs in her mouth. I don't know why, but I have the feeling this relationship is going to get weirder then I thought. Sadly, our heart felt moment had to come to an end, as the school day came to start as more kids flood the halls. I think they're all too caught up in their drama, and fake relationships to notice me. That means less stares. But for the people who do see me, they either back away, wave with an excited smile, or give me the weirdest face they can muster up. Seeing all of these kids make me think of that one of a kind saying, how it literally applies to me, except it one of two of a kind, since Sally is an anthro pony, too. I still feel rather strange about saying yes to Ashlyn. It came on pretty quick that she asked me out like that , but I'm atleast happy to be with the one I love. I think she asked me out because I'm a pony, and she lies to hide it. Not saying I'm mad, because I'm actually pretty happy about it. I think it was cute how affectionate she was towards me, and even though I've got horses lips, she still kissed me as if I were still human. That was the highlight of my day. I head to my locker, which isn't too far, just a few turns down a couple halls, and it's right next to my first period class, how convinient! When I get to my locker, I do the combination code on the lock, and I grab my needed things for the day, and stuff them in my backpack. I usually leave my backpack here, unless I have lots of homework, and studying to do. But I always bring it with me during school. Imagine how hard it would be to hold all of my needed supplies like that! After that, I close my locker, sealing the lock on it and turning the knob so the arrow is on the zero. I guess it's supposed to keep people from just opening the locker. I don't believe it, I just do it for extra measures, plus I don't have anything of value to steal. When it comes to me, I know a fast way to figure out your locker combination. Thanks to YouTube! I showed my friend Cole, who didn't believe me, but when I got his locker open in just three minutes, his face was pricless. When I get to class, I just take my seat like usual, assuming my teacher got the message from the principle. Which he didn't, so I had to explain my twisted tale AGAIN so I could resume class. Well, it's two minutes to the bell, but you know. The other two kids in the room noticed me, and complimented how cool my 'costume' was, for how real it looked. I just smiled at them, and said my thanks. That's when they realized it wasn't a costume. They asked how it happened, and I simply said: "Magic" So far, my first day as a pony is going quite well. I can still attend, I got the girl of my dreams, nobody trying to give me craps yet. My friends accepted the new me, plus, I can go to mom, with a smile on my face ,and tell her how great my day was, and not have to lie about it! I'm really starting to like the idea of being an anthro. It's cool to be different, you know? I was nervous at first when I walked through the front doors, but now, I'm sure I won't have to worry. I just hope school will end faster than usually, so I can go home to Sally. Since...I only have a year left with her. The reason I haven't really been sad about it, is because I'm trying not to think of it, because I need to be happy for her, and show her that being a pony isn't as bad as she thinks. So until then, I'll just have to spend as much time with her as possible. By the time the bell rings, almost every desk is occupied by another student, and those students can't seem to take their eyes off me. And a few even taking pictures. "No taking pictures!" My algebra teacher, Mr. Dan shouts. "Anybody with a phone, besides Damien, bring it to me now!" He says in a stern voice, thumping a forefinger onto his desk, as everyone gets up to deposit their phones on the teachers desk. "Yes, a fellow student of ours has...gone through...whatever, that made him what he is now, but he shall receive no better, or worse treatment than the rest of us!" Several sighs and moans, and grunts can be heard about the room. I can't blame them. they just got their phone taken, and got scolded. That really gets on peoples nerves these days. Especially guys, since they pay more attention to their phone, than their wives, and or girlfriends. Yes I said and or. You know how it is these days. "Oh I promise I won't cheat on you!" The same night, he's banging some side chick, just for money to get his supply of dope! And so starts the day of school, having to go through it as a pony. But, it's well worth it.
