Sunset slowly closed her eyes as her head laid on her pillow. She could feel the tears fall off her eyes as she finally drifted off to sleep.
DING!
Sunset popped her head off her pillow, awake from a night's sleep. As her eyes struggled to stay open, Sunset put her hands up to her eyes to rub them. It was then that she realized something was wrong. Her hands weren't hands, they were hooves. Sunset's mouth trembled as she wanted to scream at the top of her lungs. Thankfully, she quickly put her hooves over her lips to make sure she didn't yell. A few seconds of silence later, Sunset removed her hooves and began to look at the rest of her body. She rubbed the top of her head, only to find a horn as well. 'I...I'm a unicorn...' thought Sunset as her face turned pale. 'This can't be real...' Her head slowly turned and looked at the magic book on her desk. 'Yet...I did just have a conversation about me being a unicorn from another world...this is insane...I finally lost it...'
Sunset pulled her legs up and put herself in a fetal position. 'This can't be real...I'm a human being...I'm a human being...'
SLAM!
“GOOD AFTERNOON SUNSET!” said a cheerful voice from one human Luna as she slammed open Sunset's door. “How are you today?!”
“SHUT UP LUNA!” yelled Celestia from across the house. “STOP BEING SO HAPPY BEFORE I HAVE MY AFTERNOON COFFEE!”
“I know Celestia...I know...” said Luna as her face changed from happy to annoyed. “Seems my sister is a bit bitter this afternoon...”
Sunset just sat there in confusion. In front of her was human Luna with the most cheerful face she had ever seen. Sunset knew that something was wrong just from that statement. However, there was also the fact that Luna said afternoon and the fact that she was a unicorn. Sunset looked at her hooves again and then asked Luna, “Um...Luna?”
“Yes?” Luna said with giant grin.
“Uh...don't you notice what I am right now?” Sunset said while pointing at herself.
“What do you mean?” Luna said with a confused face.
“Um...the fact that I'm a unicorn now.”
“Of course you are. You've always been a unicorn Sunset.” Luna said with a small smile. “Are you feeling okay?”
“No. I'm not okay.” Sunset said as she shook her head back and forth.
“Why not?”
“Oh I don't know, maybe because I'm not a unicorn! I'm a human being! Like you!” yelled Sunset.
“No you're not. You're a unicorn.”
“But...no I'm not!”
“Um...yes you are.” Luna said with a slightly skeptical face. “You've always been a unicorn Sunset. Now, let's get some breakfast and get to school, okay?”
“School?! How can I go to school looking like this?!”
“Um...like you did yesterday?” Luna said with a slight grin. She then turned around and waved slightly at Sunset. “Now come on Sunset, let's eat some breakfast!”
Sunset watched Luna skip out of the room with a cheerful hum coming out of her mouth. Sunset just sat there for a few seconds, trying to process what was happening. 'I can't believe this...I thought my life was weird with the whole other world thing and the book but...this is a whole nother level...' She looked at her hooves again. 'Maybe I'm still dreaming all this...it sure feels real though...' A few more minutes later, Sunset began her struggle to get out of bed. However, as soon as she tried to walk out of the bed...
THUD!
She found her face kissing the floor. 'Right...I'm a unicorn now...great...this might take a while...'
A few minutes of balance and falling later...
“What took you so long?” asked Luna as Sunset walked into the kitchen. “And why do have all those bruises on your face?”
“Don't ask.” Sunset said in a deadpan tone. “Is there any coffee left?”
“Of course.” Luna said as she poured Sunset a cup. “Here you go.”
“Thanks.” Sunset said as she then struggled to carry the cup with her hooves. 'Great...I can't even drink coffee properly...'
After several attempts at coffee and food, Sunset found that it was already time to go to school. She let out a groan as Luna walked up to her with a huge smile. “Ready to go to school?” Luna asked as she grabbed her usual briefcase. Sunset let out a sigh, “Um...are you sure I have to go to school?”
“Yes. Why do you ask?”
“Um...because I look like this?” Sunset said as she kept pointing to herself. “You know...the whole I'm a unicorn and not a human thing!”
“I told you this before Sunset. You've always been a unicorn, why do you keep asking that?”
“I...uh...well...um...nevermind. Let's just get going, you're obviously not going to let me stay here because I'm a unicorn now.”
“No. I'm not. Now let's get you to school.”
“Um...can I ask one last question?”
“Yes, but this is the last one.” Luna said with a slightly annoyed tone. “We really need to get going.”
“Okay...why are we going to school in the afternoon?”
“Because that's when school happens Sunset. Nobody goes to school in the middle of the day, they always go at night.”
“They do?!”
“Yes. They do.”
Sunset and Luna soon left the house and got into Luna's car. Sunset was shocked on how easy it was to get into the car. She was even thankful that Luna immediately turned on the car's air conditioner. Several minutes later, the two got to the school. However, it was there that Sunset finally decided to give up. Everyone at Canterlot High was human while she was still a unicorn. At this point, she tried to slump into the floorboards only to find her body couldn't get pass the glove compartment. 'Of course everyone else is human...' she thought, 'Why are you so surprised Sunset?!'
“Are you okay? You've been acting weird all morning Sunset.” asked Luna. As those words flew out of Luna's mouth, Sunset finally decided she had finally lost it. “No I'm not!” yelled Sunset. “Why is this happening?! Why am I unicorn?! Why are you accepting this fact and just making me go to school?! In fact why am I even accepting that I'm a unicorn right now?! Why am I accepting any of this?!”
“Sunset, stop yelling.”
“NO!” screamed Sunset. “I have no idea what's going on! Why am I unicorn?! Why is all of this happening?!”
“Okay...” Luna said in an awkward tone as she patted Sunset's head. “Why don't you calm down and take a deep breath Sunset. Take a deep breath.”
“I am calm!”
“No you're not. Calm down.”
Sunset let out a huff and said, “Okay...what now?”
“Simple. You wake up.”
“Huh?”
DING!
“AAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!” Sunset yelled as she sprung up out of her bed. She continued to scream for another minute, only to stop soon after. She tried to catch her breath as she looked around the room. 'It was just a dream...okay...' She looked at her hands, only to see hands. 'I'm human...I'm human...okay...”
SLAM!
“GOOD MORNING SUSNET!” said a cheerful voice from one Luna as she slammed open Sunset's door. “How are you today?!”
“I'm uh...fine. I'm good. I'm good...” Sunset said as she continued to try to catch her breath. She then looked up and saw that Luna wasn't exactly herself. She was a pony, an alicorn to be precise. Sunset showed a huge frown as she said, “And now I'm not okay...yeah...”
“Why? What's wrong?” asked Luna.
“Nothing...I think I'll just sleep in today. I'm pretty sure I'm sick...or crazy.” Sunset said as she laid back down. “Yep...definitely crazy...”
“No you're not Sunset. You need to go to school.” Luna said in a deadpan tone.
“And if I say no?”
“You'll be going anyways. Now, what's wrong Sunset?”
“Well...for starters you're happy in the morning and you're not holding a coffee cup. Also there's the fact that YOU'RE A FREAKING PONY!!!”
“I've always been a pony Sunset, just like you've always been a human.”
“Nope. I'm not doing this again.” Sunset said as she pulled the pillow over her ears and closed her eyes. “This isn't happening...I just have to wake up...I just have to wake up...”
“Do you want some coffee Sunset, will that help you?”
“No...maybe...I don't know. I'm still pretty sure this is a dream.”
“If this is a dream, I want to dream up some better coffee. This last batch I made was horrible...”
“I agree.” said Celestia as she walked into the room. “Now what's wrong Sunset?”
Sunset opened her eyes only to see a pony Celestia. “Great...you're a pony too...this is just my day...”
“Want some coffee?” Celestia said as she put her mug by Sunset's face. Sunset's nose twitched as she smelled the fragrance of the fresh cup. “Maybe...” Sunset lifted up and drank a small sip. She closed her eyes as she savored the taste. She then opened her eyes and saw that Celestia and Luna were back to normal human beings.
“Feeling better?”
“Yeah...I think so...” Sunset said with a nod.
“Good. Now let's get some breakfast.”
“Okay!” Sunset said with a smile. She let out a yawn and began wiggling out of bed. As she put her leg out to get out of the bed, she found her face on the floor again. 'Not again...' thought Sunset as she saw she was a pony again. “WHY IS THIS STILL HAPPENING?!”
DING!
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!” screamed Sunset as she flew out of bed again. Sweat poured down her face as she looked at herself again, making sure she was a human. It was there that Sunset stopped herself. She thought, 'You know what...I don't wanna know if I'm human or not right now...I'm just gonna go back to bed. That's sounds like a better solution than me being crazy...' Her head fell onto the pillow as she let out a sigh of relief. 'Yeah...this is better. I'm not a horse, I'm not crazy and everything is just fine...everything is fine...'
