//------------------------------// // A Rainy Lazy Sunday // Story: What the frick?! // by Cool writer //------------------------------// “Emma! Emma! Wake up!” Lyra exclaimed, shaking me. “Noooooo…” I groaned, waving a ho- hand, motioning her away. I may be part pony, but I still have hands. “But Emma, you’ve changed again!” My eyes burst open, and I bolt upright. Oh no. No no no no NO NO NO! I do not want to be a four legged pony again. I had enough trouble with that the last few times I was one. “What.” I deadpan. “You’re a fully pony again!” Lyra said, obviously trying to keep the excitement out of her voice. I rolled my eyes. “-I mean, Oh! You’re a full pony again!” She said with mock sadness. I rolled my eyes again, and she giggled, nudging me with a hoof. “I wonder how this works…” I mused, looking over myself. Yep, the same yellow pegasus form I took that first day… A lot’s changed since then. I mean, i’ve been switching forms, some guy tried to buck me (PUN, cough cough), I got abducted by the government, met Lacey (I wonder how she’s doing...), and got Lyra as a sister! The weirdest thing is that none of that seems weird anymore! “It’s weird though, you should be stuck a half human. But… I guess you had one last change left in you.” Lyra thought aloud. “Go figure.” It took a couple, long, painful, and tedious minutes of practice before I felt ready to take on my first enemy trapped in this new body: STAIRS! (DUN DUN DUUUUUUN!!!) So we approached, them. “Geronimo.” I gulped. On my first step… bum bum bum bum bum! I fell down the stairs. “I hate this ‘full pony’ thing.” I groaned. I herd Lyra giggle. “How can you stand this?” I asked. She just giggled some more. “I know, so horrible right?” Lyra said sarcastically, walking down the stairs, flaunting her mastery over the equine form. Just then, my mom woke up. “Good morning Lyra, good morning Emma.” She yawned as she walked by. Then she froze, and took a few steps back. “Is she… a full pony again?” Mom asked. Lyra nodded. “Yeah, mom, and she stinks at it.” Lyra giggled. “I thought she was stuck a half pony.” Mom said flatly. “So did I.” Lyra replied. Mom looked at me. Then sighed. I really enjoyed being an anthro, but I guess I must have done somthing to tick Karma off to do this to me. “I’m gonna make myself a cup of coffee.” She said, walking into the kitchen. Lyra turned to me. “Are you gonna lay there all day, or are you gonna get up?” She asked me. I rolled my eyes, and got to my hooves… all four of them. I stumbled a bit before I found my balance. This was going to be a long... Life... This is my life now. Mom decided that, since I needed time to adjust, I would miss school today. I joked that I missed so much already that I should just drop out. But anyways, that’s why you find us here: “So, mom has to be at work all day?” Lyra groaned. “Eeeeyup," I replied, joining in on the groaning. “And dad isn’t going to be home, all day.” “Yup.” “So we have the house to ourselves?” “Yup.” “Buuut it’s raining, so we can’t do anything outside.” “Yup.” I sighed. I was really looking forward to more practice flying, but before I could flap my wings even once after breakfast, it began raining. It wasn’t even that BAD of rain, it was just a few bolts of lightning that kept me inside. TWO FREAKING BOLTS!!! But alas, I'm too scared to go outside and risk getting struck by lightning (which would be ironic seeing as I have two lightning bolts on my cheeks, that are electrically powered). So, this is why you find us ponies sitting inside. "Hey, I thought that ponies could control weather." I said to Lyra. "Well yeah, in Equestria, but this isn't Equestria now is it?" Lyra replied. "No, I guess not." I sighed, dejectedly. This was going to be a boring day, especially considering the last few... Something's going to happen. This is too… normal. Since Murphy's law has ruled the last few days, why should it stop now? Oh, if you haven't seen "Interstellar," then I'll explain what Murphey's law is. The law says: "anything that can happen, will." "So what are we supposed to do all day?" Lyra asked. I just shrugged, and slumped down into the sofa cushions. "We could play a board game." Lyra suggested. "I don't have hands to pick up the pieces." Then, Lyra had an idea, and she grinned. A BIG grin. "What is it Lyra?" I asked. Her horn began to glow a golden light, it glowed and pulsed, it reminded me of fire, on the end of a torch. That same glow formed around the TV remote. Then, it floated, up off the armrest it always sitting on, and into the air in front of Lyra. She looked at it, and the netflix button (we have a smart tv) pressed itself! The TV screen light up with the netflix logo, and the movie selection came up. "Close your eyes." Lyra stated. I narrowed my eyes at her. "You're going to play 'My Little Pony', aren't you?" I asked. Her mouth responded "no," but her ears flopping over said otherwise. I face-hoofed. "Go ahead." I sighed. So, Lyra tapped in "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic," and hit play. "Once upon a time, in the magical land of Equestria..." The female narrator began. I grimaced. "But just this one episode." We watched the whole season. Yeah, no kidding, we watched, the whole season, and we were just starting season two. I was laying on my belly, joyfully swaying my tail, both hooves propping up my head (which was towards the screen). Let's just say... I was "Interested." But anyways, the episode began with an aerial shot above the Canterlot Palace Gardens, where the... "The Ponyville class, is raising a field trip to Canterlot... That's like a trip to Washington, D.C.! I never got to take a trip like that in elementary school, assuming that's what they're in!" I remarked. My eyes bulged when I realized what I had just said. "Oh my god, I sound like an analyst!" I whispered in awe to myself. Lyra began laughing hysterically. I’m gonna have to get back at her for that. “I’m not sure what that is, but I’m sure you did!” She said between laughs. I just rolled my eyes at her, I definitely need to get back at her. Then, I had an idea. A wonderfully... awful… idea.
