Groggily, I woke up as the sun shined in my eyes, I ‘Tried’ to stand up, but my legs got caught in the blankets and I fell face first into the hard wooden floor,
I tried to get up again and walk to the door but ended up once again falling face first into the floor I looked at what tripped me and that's when I noticed that I was smaller a lot smaller, after a minute I crawled my way free from the clothes that was now way to big and was trying to trap me, slowly I managed to drag myself across the floor to the mirror in the corner of the room and quickly I noticed that while I was asleep I had fully turned into a pony, I was a unicorn filly about the CMC’s Age, my mane had three stripes with aqua blue in the center with hot pink surrounding it and on either was two aqua blue bows tying my mane into ponytails, my tail was the same color as my mane and my fur was violet and my hooves were a lighter violet and finally, my eyes were a deep purple.
I took a deep breath “So much for making it to Chicago before we became full ponies” I said out loud to no one, I turned towards the door and noticed that it was closed it was the kind with the lever not the knob thankfully “Alright, how am I going to get this door open?” I thought aloud, There was no chairs of any kind in the room and the handle was way too high, there was however a small bucket and plank of wood, I looked up saw that there was an old backpack with a strap hanging down low enough for me to grab, I could see the plan forming in my head already and I could see that I would be in for a world of pain soon enough.
* 10 minutes later of me being a complete Idiot*
I finished my plan by carefully laying the wooden board down on the bucket using my teeth, pony teeth are surprisingly strong, I stood on the end of the board the furthest away from the door and grabbed the strap in my teeth and was ready to pull it off the shelf I took in a deep breath and closed my eyes “This is going to bucking hurt so much” I said hoping that I would be wrong, as I smashed into the door I flailed my hooves around frantically trying to open the door but failing miserably I crashed into the floor rolling around in pain “Buck that hurt!” I said through clenched teeth “And it failed too!” I added irritated I stood up and looked back to the door, only for my left eye to begin twitching crazily the door was swinging open, but NOT because I broke the lock… Because it wasn’t locked In the first place. I ran out of the room Shouting “FREEDOM!” I calmly took a deep breath and walked down the hallway and into the kitchen, noticing everypony was eating “Hi everypony” I said “Looks like we all finished changing last night”
Zoran looked at me strangely “Will?” he asked, “is that you?”
Oh, Right, I never told him that my Oc was a filly
“Uh.. yeah,” I said chuckling nervously “although since we are now full ponies I think it may be more appropriate if we use pony names, you don’t have to but you can call me Amethyst Rose now or Rose for short” I said trying to end the awkwardness.
They seemed to agree with the pony names and eventually we agreed on these names Amethyst Rose -Me Duh! Raven Shade -Courtney, Shadow Heart -Katie and last
Lightning Star -Zoran.
“Alright, so now that's done with what should we do now-” I paused and looked around before sighing “Where did Katie or Shadow go now?” I asked my voice squeaking slightly, if I wasn’t trying to come up with a plan I would have giggled at how Cute I sounded… What? I can be adorable as much as I want and you can’t stop me
“Hmm?” Courtney asked setting down a stylus “Oh I think she said something about practicing flying outside but I didn’t see if she went outside or not” courtney said looking back to the tablet she was allowed to use
“Guys!” Katie’s panicked voice called out as she clumsily flew through the window, ‘If she wasn’t so panicked I would have giggled at how she came flying in but I held it in knowing something was wrong
“Katie where were you?” I asked
“I was outside flying Duh” She said “As I was flying I saw some cop cars pull up they are coming to this house”
I silently cursed “They must have saw the van, We have to go now!” I said
The lady, Sorry, Amanda, who was silent through the whole thing spoke up, “I will keep them busy, you can take my car, it’s parked in back, Good luck” She said making her way to the front door with her cane
We didn’t wait around, we quickly all bolted towards the back door glad to see it wasn’t shut as we quickly ran into the yard it took us a moment, but we spotted the car off to the side I was the first one there, but that is when we spotted the problem
“How are we going to get inside were way too small and I don’t think we can open the door with hooves” Zoran/Lightning Star said
I looked up and spotted the window rolled down and thought quickly “Everypony give me a lift up!” I shouted It took them a moment, but eventually they managed to fling me over the edge and send me tumbling into the seat “Courtney get me that stick” I said pointing a hoof at the stick near the tree.
As soon as it was in reach I grabbed it in my mouth and jammed in between the handle and door and pulled until I heard the click of the lock, I then bucked the door open it wasn’t much of a kick since I wasn’t an earth pony and I was just a filly, but it was enough to get the door open so they could get themselves inside, Katie/shadow was the last one in when once she was in I bit the edge of the door and pulled it closed.
“Does anypony know where the keys are?” I asked around In response I saw Zoran stick the keys in the ignition and start it I grinned “Awesome! Now Raven and Shadow you get to control the pedals and Zoran you work the shift” I said my grin getting bigger “And I get to relearn how to steer with hooves” I added as an afterthought which did nothing to reassure anypony “Alright hit the gas!” I shouted as the car lurched into motion startling the 2 police officers talking to Amanda.
As we sped off onto the road I swear I smelt rubber, after a few minutes of driving, We did surprisingly well for being ponies, also turns out my vision has actually improved when I became a pony so that's a plus. I told Shadow and Raven to slow down “Does anypony know where Chicago is from here?” I called out to everypony
Suddenly I heard some papers rustling and then Zoran called out “If we keep going straight and then we go right on the next right, we should be in Chicago so about maybe another 10 minutes” He said
“Where did you find a map, and we’re almost to Chicago? I thought we had another hour or two to go, ” I said, surprised Zoran shrugged “you made some good time before the van broke down”
The statement suddenly made me realize that we left all of our stuff in the van, including the credit card “Dang it! We left the credit card in the van now we can’t rent a hotel room,” I said, annoyed
“I think finding one would be more of a problem than paying for it now” Zoran said, pointing a hoof down at the hundreds of cars parked to the side of the road
I sighed “How far is the place the convention is being held at? Maybe we can find a place to park somewhere closeby”
“It’s right over there” Zoran said, pointing to a building that looked like it could fit a few thousand people
“Alright, now does anyone know when the convention actually starts?” I asked
This time it was Courtney who spoke up, “I think it starts at about 4 o’clock ”
I took a right taking us further into the city “4 o'clock today?” I asked I looked at the clock 3:52 “Shoot! We need to hurry or we're going to be late,” I looked up the street and sure enough, it was extremely packed it would take forever to find a place to park
“Alright stop the car, we're parking here, we will walk the rest of the way, ” I said, pulling haphazardly to the side of the road in between two cars and somewhat driving onto the sidewalk (in a way which thinking back on it I believe is highly illegal)
Once the car was parked I leaped through the open window and waited for the others to do the same, Shadow of course, being the only one who has actually flown ‘At least somewhat’ clumsily flew through the window and landed on the sidewalk showing off that she could actually fly,
I rolled my eyes and started galloping towards the convention “Come on!” I shouted to the others behind me taking the lead we received some strange glances from passersby after all we were a group of three pastel colored fillies and a colt running through the city, but we didn’t pay any attention to them, after a minute or two we finally made it to the building I was gasping for breath once we made it, once I caught my breath I pushed open the door using my head.
The room was completely packed, there were thousands of ponies inside it didn’t look like the convention had started yet luckily, only a few ponies glanced over to us, but returned their attention to the stage where it looked like they were about to begin, a sudden motion over to the side caught my attention, somepony was waving her hoof motioning for us to join her where we found 4 open seats and we quietly sat and waited for the convention to begin.
