"Twilight's log; first entry." Twilight scribbled furiously into her notebook while reading aloud. "It is eight thirty in the morning; I had a healthy breakfast, Spike helped me clean the library, and I accidently transformed my pet owl into a pony, a Pegasus to be exact. Spike and I hastily assembled another book fort on the opposite side of the room to protect ourselves from the possibly destructive side affects of an owl-turned-pony."
"Uh, Twilight?" Spike butted into her monologue. "You do know that he just turned into a Pegasus right?"
"You don't know that, Spike. He could have some kind of laser eyes or something! He could turn you inside out with his mind!"
Twilight and Spike, both wearing helmets/kitchen pans procured from the kitchen, peered out of their mighty book fort at their friend who was still sitting in the same spot from before. He seemed content to sit there and curiously look around the room, occasionally glancing back at the two of them.
She continued. "We must be diligent and observe him."
He almost didn't want to ask. "And why do we need to do that?"
"Because at any moment something unexpected might happen and he could destroy us!"
"Excuse me?"
Twilight and Spike stopped talking and looked up. In the time that they had spent talking, Owlowiscious had rose to his hooves and had shakily marched across the room to the fort, and was looking in at the both of them, his yellow eyes shone with intelligence.
"I was wondering..." He spoke haltingly, like somepony who had never spoken a lauguage before but knew how. "...If I could speak to Twilight?"
They took one look at him and ducked back into the fort.
"He talks." Twilight stated, nearly surprised beyond words.
"Well that was certainly unexpected."
"This is the discovery of the century!" Twilight squealed, scribbling more and more notes in the small pad of paper. "I'll be famous!"
"Twilight?" The Pegasus called into the fort, trying to see the two. "We really need to talk-"
He was cut short as Twilight teleported next to him in a flash of magic, startling the owl-turned-Pegasus.
"Are you still Owlowiscious?" She asked rapidly. "What do you think of when you're an owl? Can you see colors? Do you get dizzy if you turn your head too fast?"
Owlowiscious stepped back from Twilight in surprise. "I...what...Twilight, please calm....ah!"
In his surprise, Owlowiscious had been stepping back from his frantic owner and had accidently tripped over his own hooves; falling to the hard wooden floor with a thump.
"Oh my!" Twilight gasped, now concerned. "I'm sorry! Are you okay?"
He looked up at her, his face showing no amusement. It was like that for a good minute or so before he laughed quietly, breaking the silence.
"I'm fine, Twilight please do not worry. I've seen what has happened when you worry."
Twilight laughed at that in spite of herself. Even though he had only started talking, Owlowiscious spoke in an intelligent, humble tone. Pretty good for somepony that was a bird earlier.
"I'm sorry," She apologized, offering him a hoof. "It's just that I didn't think this would happen."
Owlowiscious took it and stood up quicker than before. He seemed to be getting used to his hooves at this point. "What did you expect to happen when you try to go against the laws of nature?" He said dryly.
"Was that sarcasm?"
"Maybe," Owlowiscious said truthfully, clearing his throat. "I've never been sarcastic before, never had the vocal cords for it."
Spike had climbed out of the fort at this point and cautiously came up beside Twilight. "How did this happen anyway?"
"That's a very good question." Twilight and the Pegasus said as one. They paused and stared at one another, laughing it off.
"I suppose we both know already?" Owlowiscious hazarded a guess.
"I suppose so," Twilight giggled, "Why don't you explain? I would, but I've already done so much"
"Well..." He considered merrily, jokingly thinking about it for a moment. "If I must."
He walked over to the center table and inspected the many spell books. "The weather spell you used was twice as powerful as what you should have used."
Twilight smiled sheepishly, knowing that she had done something wrong. "I...wanted to be thorough."
"Everything you did was correct and the incantations were precise, but something slipped and you changed the very structure of the spell."
"Probably when she was struck by lightning." Spike mumbled under his breath.
Owlowiscious flipped a few pages before closing the books. "The spell is reversable, but only if you have enough power or can recite the incantation in reverse."
"No problem, I memorized the entire spell." Twilight proudly proclaimed.
Owlowiscious narrowed his yellow eyes at her, a single eyebrow raised questioningly. "Oh really? Even the part where one million volts of electricity were rushing through your cortex?"
"Oh..." The student exclaimed softly.
Spike sighed, slamming the palm of his hand to his face. "Well there goes that plan. Got any others?"
A light went off in Twilight's head, sparking an idea. "I got it!" She exclaimed, stamping her hooves in excitement. "The summer sun celebration; Princess Celestia will be there, and she can reverse the spell!"
She put a lavender hoof on the Pegasus's shoulder, giving him a reassuring look. "I'm sorry but you'll have to wait until the end of the day for the Princess to arrive."
He shrugged, using his wings for the expression. "Fair enough. At least nothing else has gone wrong."
At that moment, a small pony walked into the room. Well, crawled really. The ponies very quickly noticed the new presence and looked over at it. Everyone gasped.
On the ground, sitting in the doorway to the kitchen, was a baby Alicorn. The Alicorn had bright colored fur; a light orange coat and a yellow mane. Little wings and a stubby horn poked out from the fur.
"Spikey!" It babbled innocently.
Spike nearly choked on his tongue. "Peewee?!"
Owlowiscious groaned. "Oh dear."
Twilight shook her head. "Nothing else has gone wrong, huh?"
***
Outside of Ponyville sat the apple fields of Sweet Apple acres. It was before Twilight had cast the spell so the storm raged overhead. Lightning crashed down every so often on one of the trees, splitting it in two but never catching on fire, the rain took care of that. The apple family had gotten a message to bunker down until the storm was over, so all of them had gone inside the house to wait it out. All of them, except two.
Applejack the earth pony braced herself against the strong winds, bringing a hoof up to her head to keep her prized hat from flying away in the gale.
"Winona!" Applejack shouted to the trees. "Where are you?!"
Unfortunately, nothing replied. All noise was swallowed by the storm and howling winds. Applejack groaned angrily and continued through the trees.
"Come on out Winona. Big Mac an Applebloom are already in the house," she shouted, "We need to get in before the storm gets worse!"
A random bolt of lightning struck the tree above her; a smoking branch tumbled out and smashed into the ground beside the farmer.
She gulped. "If that's even possible."
Applejack searched through the trees for her loyal dog, eventually the sound of whimpering reached her ears and she followed the sound to a large apple tree. Her dog, Winona curled up at the base, shaking like a leaf.
"Winona..." Applejack spoke softly. She inched towards the frightened animal, every clap of thunder causing Winona to flinch.
"It's okay girl." Applejack said soothingly. "Ah know that you're terrified of the thunder. You should really stop running off like this."
The pony's kind words reached the dog's ears and Winona looked up at her questioningly. She seemed to calm down in Applejack's presence, but turned her head and looked off in another direction, ignoring the thunder, lightning, and Applejack.
"Winona? What's wrong girl?"
Winona ignored her owner and continued staring off in one direction. Applejack looked that way as well but saw only trees. All around them, the storm seemed to get worse; the rain was pounding on their heads and the flashes of lightning constantly lit up the dark sky.
"Come on Winona!" Applejack shouted above the rising storm and attempted to grab her dog. "We need to get to the house before the storm takes us out!"
Winona didn't listen, or rather, she couldn't. The storm was reaching its peak, the clouds above them getting bigger and darker. Despite what Applejack thought before, the storm seemed to actually be getting worse, almost as if it was building up.
And that's when she saw it. Winona had sensed it before it has showed up but now it was visible to her as well. A wall of magic energy pushing the storm clouds in her direction. The wall passed through the apple trees, tearing bark and leaves off them as it went. Applejack quickly figured out that she and Winona would be caught in the chaos.
"Winona!" Applejack shouted. She jumped forward and wrapped her arms around the dog, shielding her from the wall of magic that soon overtook them.
It was all a blur as the force slammed into Applejack, sending the pony and her little dog too through the air. The world seemed to turn upside down for Applejack, but that was probably because the world was upside down for her.
Unfortunately the force of the magic blew the earth pony and her dog into one of the many apple trees, crashing into the hard bark with a crunch and knocking Applejack out cold.
The magic passed and an unconscious Applejack fell to the field floor, slumping over in the dirt and completely oblivious to the also unconscious canine that was beginning to glow and morph.
Fav before even reading. You are a genius! A very original and interesting idea!
i want to see Gummy the sage and angel bunny
Just a little advice: try making your chapters a little bit longer.
Other than that, I like it! Nice interesting premise, good action. Good Job!
Ooooh boy...
Love it so far
THEN APPLEJACK CHOKES ON THE MUD!
She subsequently dies and Twilight realizes it's her fault, Winona also knows this.
Shit happens.
1250144 It would be the epitome of awesome if Gummy was a genius.
Query: Is this gonna turn ALL the animals into ponies, or just the pets?
'Cause that'd be some weird precision for a random accident.
PeeWee! Seriously, everyone seems to forget must because..... Well, because the writers did, too
i'm definitely looking at this later. Intriguing.
watched
"Unknown to the two, the storm outside was also getting worse, lightning bolts striking closer and closer to the tree house.
Owlowiscious stepped
"Okay." Twilight grunted. "Just one blast and the entire storm is gone.""
The grammar needs a bit of adjusting, but great story. :D
I demand Gummy-pony next chapter!
So far, so awesome.
Okay, this is a bit random, but does anyone else think that pony-Opal and Blueblood deserve each other? ya know, one pain in the flank (metaphorical) deserving another pain in the flank (literal)?
Y THERE NO TANK!?!?
1250508
THERE WILL BE
EDIT: SORRY ABOUT THOSE GRAMMAR PROBLEMS, ALWAYS MISS A FEW.
i loved that u added peewee i hope that u add peewee into the picture but why an alicorn but nevertheless i LOVED THE STORY i cant wait for more so glad u got it into the feature box u deserve it
PeeWee is a damn alicorn. You magnificent bastard you.
1250277 ... Meh, easy. Elements of Harmony being connected, blah blah blah. You know, the usual crap. XD
(Also, Alicorn Peewee? WIN!)
1250277

Applejack = 3rd best pony!
Happy birthday to whoever may have the same Birthbay as me and good night!
This is going to be good
This is certainly going to get weird for the rest of the town.
Nicely done.
1250692
Thanks, I just figured that the pheonix is the alicorn of the animal world.
curious... wheres tank?
Of course someone will have to find Applejack lovingly curled up around a unknown mare. Possibly scarring applebloom.
Me: PeeWee! You were not only remembered but also alicornified! You've gone far, kid. By the by, great chapter! You have impeded my scheduled sleep for school. I say damn you, and thank you as well.
Damn, if I could draw, I would draw an Alicorn foal PeeWee.
1250211 I love that idea, and PEEWEE!!!!!! Thank you so much for adding him, made my entire night, this is going to be so awesome damn...that sucks for AJ.1250861 Happy birthday.
Hmm, the way Twilight acts after seeing Owilicious (jeez, it's worse than spelling Hanukah) seems a little OOC. Why would she automatically jump to assuming he's dangerous? Or hiding in the book fort? The latter one just seems silly and not in the good way.
Other than that I'm liking what I'm seeing so far.
I imagine Owloysius having a classy Cambridge accent.
How do I sum Twilight's choice of action for a scheduled storm?

All in all I love the idea and I'm liking the story so far, so I'll follow it.
So does this mean the every animal within range was turned pony? If so, I hope to God Fluttershy's cottage wasn't in range... or do I?
Keep going, I like where this story is going.
Also I can't wait to see how Tank, Wiona, Opal, Gummy, and Angel react to becoming a pony.
Excellent work!
Looking forward to more.
PeeWee as an alicorn, I like it!
This is very entertaining so far, great job.
YAY Prince/foal PeeWee!
Awesome idea!
The moment I started reading this my face went:dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/Spike_lolface.png
Twilight screwed up a spell, what are you gonna do?dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/shrug_Twilight_Sparkle.png
The possibility of Angel the rabbit becoming a bunny...
excellent. dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Discord.png
Mmmmmoar.
A thousand volts? Lightning is something like a hundred million volts!
More people should watch Mythbusters...
I'm so horribly sorry! I acidently hit publish while trying to save!
hmmm.
known
owlowiscious = pegasus
peewee = alicorn ()
predictions
winona = earth pony(easy prediction)
Opal = unicorn(because snobby)
tank = earth pony (or maybe pegasus so can actually fly with rainbow)
gummy = super genious earth pony (or just usual spaced out self as earth pony)
Angel bunny = pony type unsure, but will more than likely either be a jerk or just have the mouth of a sailor.
Keep up the good work

By per chance, you haven't read (or been inspired by) "Transdimensional Zoology", have you ? Either way, this idea is genius, and you just earned a fave + thumbs up from me.
*clap*
I LOVE THIS! WANT MOAR!
Interesting.. just a little question none of them is a unicorn? maybe Opalescence could be (this by watching the picture, now going to read the story)
If peewee is a baby alicorn, then obviously philamena will be a adult alicorn too.
1254234 That first emote how and the second too we need answer please
I like this one
Man I love to see where this ends up and you remembered PeeWee keep up the good work,
