About ten minutes later, the whole cake was gone, and all the presents opened, I sat on the couch again, or, more precisely on Derik's lap. For my presents;
The cake we had was from Pinkie Pie.
Twilight gave me. me. Two 'me's', you may think it's a typo, but read it again. If you don't get it, she gave me a costume of myself, my human self to be exact. She said this one I would be able to change to and from pony to human form at will. I thanked her, but I said I'd just put it somewhere safe where I can easily access it,
Applejack had gotten me a car! A bucking car! It was a cherry red Toyota Celica she said she got for only a couple hundred bucks from her grandma who no longer liked seeing it in her driveway, not being able to drive it, since she's paralyzed from the waist down.
And for Fluttershy, if you looked into my lap, you'd see a week old kitten in my arms, staring at me with its cute little eyes. I feel so special they all got me such amazing presents, but nothing could possibly prepare me for what i was about to get next...
"I uh...need to go to the bathroom." Said Derik.
"Okay. Don't take too long, or I'll miss you too much." I gave him a quick peck on the lips before he left. So, I just sat there, petting my new little kitty, who was mewing happily, and licking the fur on my right arm. I couldn't help but giggle at her cuteness. She's a shy little kitty, but seems to trust me, as when anybody besides Fluttershy gets too close, she'll duck into my lap for cover.
"And don't be doing anything inappropriate!" His mother warned from the couch to the right of me. His dad just grumbled anf rolled his eyes.
"I just can't thank you guys enough for the gifts." I smiled as I pet my new cat, who I decided to name Mittens. I have no idea why, but she seemed to like it as she licked my face when I suggested it.
"No problem, Dashie." They all said in unison.
"It means a lot to me." I smiled, gazing down to see Mittens trying to scale my body, clinging to my fur through my dress which hurt a bit, but I didn't mind. She might be shy, but she sure is curious if anything!
"We know, sugarcube." Said Applejack. "That's why we did it, cause we knew you'd like it."
""Thanks. And, I just realized that out of all of you, Derik didn't get me anything..." I sighed heavily.
"No, he's getting it right now." Twilight smiled at me, giving a wink of her eye.
Derik's P.O.V
I sure hope I know what I'm doing. I thought as I got up to go to the bathroom. Thing between us will never be the same. I stopped to see my parents for a quick second, knowing my father might not see me as a son anymore. But what do I care? The guy has been a jerk to me since I was four. So, I'm more worried that My mother might not as well, but I gotta do this for Rainbow.
I proceeded into the bathroom, grabbing my backpack from behind the couch on the way, closing and locking the door behind me when I get there. I give a slight sigh as I head over to the counter, placing my backpack on top. I began to unzip the bigger pouch. The first thing I saw was blue hair. Grabbing it, I pulled it out, revealing...
A Soarin costume. Made by Twilight herself.
I placed it down on the counter, staring at the costume I was about to become.
I'm about to make a human to pony transition, which turns out to be the best thing I could come up with to give Rainbow for her birthday.
I sigh again as I began to strip myself of my clothes till I'm butt naked.
I stared at the male equine costume, smiling. I want this. For my Rainbow. For me. For us
I grabbed the costume off the counter, smiling still as I put my feet into the hooves, instantly feeling my feet change to become hooves as I could now moves my hooves around. I could feel the fur attaching its self to me as it crawled up my legs. I watched in awe as I got to my waist. I could feel my tailbone stretching out into the tail, and soon enough, I had full control over it. I swished it a few times, liking how it feels, so I continue to sway my new tail as I resume to turn into Soarin. I put my arms through the sleeves, a ticklish feeling came from the fur beginning to attach itself to my stomach, rising to my chest. On my back, I felt the wing frame sink into my back, melding, and reforming to work with my human anatomy to make a hybrid of the two. Now all that was left, was to flip the face over my head, and let the zipper do it's magic.
I looked at myself in the mirror, only my human face is left of me. Everything else is Soarin. I looked down at myself, glad to be doing this, with zero regret. You may think it's cliche how I'm doing this, and being glad about it. Well, me and Rainbow's parents, and Twilight and her friends, we planned all of this two months ago. Why so long? Well, we wanted everything to be perfect, and that's just how it's going to be. I told myself, as I put my new face on, feeling my mouth and nose push out to fill in the muzzle. My ears tickled as they slid up into the ears of the costume. My vision went blurry, and my eyes itched as they enlarged to fit my new ones.
I looked myself over in the mirror again, after putting my clothes back on, smiling a Soarin smile as my transformation was complete. And then, there was a knock at the door...
