A Crash Course on Harmony

Highschooler Matthew Dashel, or simply known as Matt, and his friends Terrance, Rina, and Harry would go to school everyday with John Radderson and Kurt Smith. They still go, despite the fact that John and Kurt were both turned into anthropomorphic versions of cartoon ponies from the TV show called My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Twilight and Applejack, respectively. So they went to school, received a couple of weird looks, got called into the principal's office, collected a shark's tooth, confront a bully and somehow not get a visit from a government agency. To his knowledge anyway. Needless to say that Matt had a crazy last couple of days.

And his life was about to get even crazier.

Matt had just gotten home from school and was ready to unwind from the day's events by taking a nice long shower and going on his computer to browse random sports related stuff. But first before he did anything else, he was hungry, so a snack was needed. He headed towards the pantry for a nice bag of generic brand chips. As he opened the door and started looking around he couldn't seem to find it. So he did what any sane person his age would do, ask his mother.

“Hey Mom, I can't find the chips,” he said calling out for her. “Mom?” he asked, hoping for a response

He waited, and got no reply.

“Strange. Hmm, maybe she's out buying more chips. Yeah, that's it.” He said to himself. More to reassure himself that she's fine than anything. “But still she would've left a note…I should probably go look for that.” ignoring his hunger, he decided to search for the note that may or may not be there.

After spending a half-hour searching for the note left by his mother with no results, he decided to give up and wait for her return and ask her where she's been then. she's fine. She's got to be...right? he thought to himself. Sighing to himself he went upstairs to his room and turned on his computer and received two email notifications. Checking his inbox he saw two messages waiting patiently for him to open. One from his mom (which he was relieved to see, and confirming she was alright) and one from an unnamed user. Clicking on the mysterious email, a blue glow started to come from the computer's screen, temporarily blinding Matt and forcing him to cover his eyes with his hands to prevent himself from going permanently blind.

After the light from the computer went back down to a tolerable amount, he reopened his eyes, only to see a picture of a white cloud with a lighting bolt colored in rainbow on his computer screen.

“That was...weird…” Matt said with a hint of suspicion in his voice as he closed the email “Whatever it was, it's done now.”

Little did Matt know, a set of changes was happening across his body. Starting with tiny blue hairs growing on his legs. Slowly creeping up his entire body. But to Matt it just felt like a small itch around his ankles, so he ignored it. Deciding it was nothing.

Regardless, he proceeded to gather the things necessary for a shower. After getting the required clothing (a white tank top, a pair of underwear, and a pair of black sweatpants) and a towel, he stepped into his bathroom. But before he could even finish removing his pants, he noticed that both of his legs was covered in a cyan blue fur. Thinking he's just seeing things, Matt did a double take just to be sure.

“Yup, that's fur alright,” he said with a suspicious tone. The fur looked and felt real, as if it belonged to some unknown animal.

The strange symbol from the computer, a white cloud with a rainbow lightning bolt appeared on his outer thighs as if it were meant to be there. It blended into the cyan fur nicely.

“Meh, could be about 20% cooler.” Matt said, unintentionally making a reference from the episode Suited for Success, spoken by Rainbow Dash herself.

Next, his hair started getting longer and different strands of it appeared to develop into red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet; the traditional colors of the visible light spectrum, or better known as the rainbow. A similarly colored tail burst from his backside, swishing back and forth.

“I-i guess that's what the rainbow portion of the name means, hehe...” He nervously said, slightly startled by the tail’s sudden appearance.

As soon as Matt’s new hair and tail grew in, his face was covered in the same cyan fur as his legs. His eye color shifted to a bright magenta as his face feminized into a muzzle, his teeth shifting into that of the equine/human hybrid he was becoming. Eyelashes appeared around his big eyes.

As Matt adjusted to these new changes, his body began to take on a more athletic but feminine appearance. A pair of cyan pony ears appeared on her head, twitching in response to every sound in the room. Eventually, a pair of cyan feathered wings sprouted from his, or rather her back as the final changes left Matt standing in the bathroom covered in cyan fur, complete with back hooves for feet. When she looked at the bathroom mirror, the reflection of the new
anthropomorphic Rainbow Dash stared back at her. When she tried to talk or breathe, the new voice sounded higher pitched and with a natural rasp.

“Oh my...this is so awesome!” Rainbow Dash flapped her new wings experimentally as she admired her new rainbow mane in the mirror. "A shower can wait. I have to tell Ashley and Twilight about this!"

Quickly reapplying some clothing, she grabbed her phone and opened her contacts, selected 'Ashley J Smith' and started texting. Explaining in grate detail about what just happened to her. But before she could finish, her battery died.

"Oh well, I guess I'll meet up with them in person."

I hope you don't mind but Tide Hunter may be helping you on the 2nd Chapter of your rainbow dash side story.

[NicLove]

P.s. Shod we have one of the parents gender-swiped !?

As in John's Mom becomes Night-Light, and John's Dad becomes Twilight Velvet !
That be with R.D.'s parents !

You know what I mean !?

[kwr2k13]

Looks like we need a new rainbow dash and perhaps maybe see her parents, Windy Whistles and Bow Hot Hoof?

Good fic so far, seems a bit rushed, but nice none the less. Are the species swapped people permanently named the mlp character they become?

[kwr2k13]

Well, Matt, Terrance, Kurt, John, Rina, and Harry (the mane 6 anthros) each chose their pony names, so John is Twilight, Kurt became AJ, matt is Micaela Dashiel aka Rainbow Dash, Terrance became Flora (Fluttershy), Rina is Pinkie Pie, and of course, Harry is Rarity. We also have the younger cmc's, Apple Bloom (AJ' little sis) and Raritys sister, Sweetie Belle formerly Melanie.

[kwr2k13]

Well, we need a new Rainbow Dash as well as Fluttershy and rarity. Already have Kikio3000 as Pinkie Pie.

[kwr2k13]

Actually, they use similar sounding names (except for John/Twilight, who decided to name herself Twilight)

Applejack - Ashley (AJ) Smith
Fluttershy - Flora/Florence
Rainbow Dash - Micaela Dashiel
Rarity - Rarity

Samantha Dashiel - Scootaloo
Amy Smith - Apple Bloom
Melanie Delrarity - Sweetie Belle

Any idea why it was canceled?

The rainbow dash story (as told from Matt/Micaela's pov) was originally wriiten by Cuber Snuggles who only wrote the 1st chapter and only covered the transformation and rainbow's reaction to it. Twilight's reaction to rainbow and fluttershy's appearance is in her story, Lavender heart.

so anyone can write a story with the anthro versions of rarity, rainbow dash, and Fluttershy.

I think shortly after cuber snuggles published the 1st chapter which includes the transformation. Twilight's story Lavender heart shows the reaction the group have to seeing Micaela as the new rainbow dash. they were at Harry/Rarity's getting new outfits when Flora/Fluttershy and Micaela/Rainbow dash showed up. The MLP Theory analysts are behind the transformations sending each person to shares common traits with the anthro pony they will become an email. Upon opening the email link, they get all the info needed for the character, personality, powers, etc.

Hi, sorry for not answering earlier.

I don't remember when I cancelled the story, but I do know why. I had plans for what I wanted to do, but life had decided to shake things up and I realized that I wasn't able to write in the quality or quantity needed to keep up. I figured that Skaltrox and the others deserved someone who could actually keep up and was more cooperative.

It surprises me that this story is my most popular even though I wasn't able to deliver. It's thanks to kwr2k13 that I was even able to get the first chapter out, and I'm sorry that I left y'all hanging out to dry.

we are still hoping to find someone else to continue this story from dash's pov. I think that they will have to read lavender heart as the new rainbow dash meets up with her friends at Harry/Rarity's place and the fashion friend helps create new outfits for dash and fluttershy (possibly the equestria girls versions of their casual outfits).

ephedrianroyalty did her story on Scootaloo's reaction to the new rainbow dash (her family adopted Samantha/Scootaloo making them new sisters).
