Sodom and Gomorrah are...interesting names for dogs.
this is awesome!![:rainbowkiss:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/rainbowkiss.png)
The next chapter's obviously gonna be Lyra having a terrible day. FORESHADOWING!
1070491 Eh, I was kind of pressed for names that matched the pair name theme for the actual two dogs in question, and Sodom and Gomorrah was the first thing that came to mind. Never use actual names if I can help it.![:pinkiecrazy:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/pinkiecrazy.png)
1070542 Actually, When a Pony Calls is entirely from Soren's perspective. I'm considering doing a Lyra's perspective side-story, but I might just tell her story entirely via email.
1070553 I broke the floor? I'm not sure I know what you mean. Is it sort of like, break the glass floor that separates the reader from the character, through which they look down on them?
1070638 Yeah, ignore me. I'm kind of daft.
When I nail wood together, it's usually on a workbench.Amazingly, I usually tend to look at things in a literal manner, so when I saw your comment, I thought there was something a bit more to it.Breaking the fourth wall now are we?![:pinkiecrazy:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/pinkiecrazy.png)
1070826 Mmm?
Sodom and Gomorrah sound like good names for the demon kittens that keep me up all night so that I feel like crap at work.![:ajsleepy:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/ajsleepy.png)
">> kingtiger666 Actually, When a Pony Calls is entirely from Soren's perspective. I'm considering doing a Lyra's perspective side-story, but I might just tell her story entirely via email."
That actually would be a great story! DO EEETTTTT
![:rainbowkiss:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/rainbowkiss.png)
What a nice chapter. I was fascinated by how Soren shows signs fear of what the impact of being a mare has on him. Also, that "sister" slip-up. Oh wow.
1071899 It's still nothing compared to First Pony View. You're much more detailed in the psychological aspect.
As for his showing of fear of the effects of the switch, he's 'genre savvy', and 'has seen enough hentai to know where this is going'. While I am presently playing this for comedy, as things go on, I may take a more serious route in events. For now, I still have to deal out the events of the first night.

. He's just so shaken out of his mind that he's extremely evasive of facing the reality of his situation. Soren at least has the comfort of knowing the 'why' and 'how'. That, I tell you, is an immense burden off his shoulders, allowing him to perhaps think with better rationality than my OC (he's not telling us his name).
Oh, hey, don't downplay yourself. I'm sure you can touch on the pyschological side quite as well as I can.
My OC can be genre sawwy, too. I hope
But... hmm, Soren's first night... Will there be a dream? Will it relate to his situation? Will it be wet? Will Soren like the dream? Will it be a nightmare instead? Oh, I can't wait what the next chapter brings!
1073406 Aye, there will be a dream. Whether he likes it is up to how he takes it though.

As much as I love First Pony View, I have gotten a bit sick of the whole "I'm a filly" angst by now. Though the implications that the pony existence came first was interesting.

I'm sorry you feel that way. Try thinking about this from a realist standpoint though. No person comfortable in their own life is going to cope well with a sudden change in species. Couple that with the stress of a familial visit, a sudden change in sex and the fact that a guy is inhabiting a body that isn't yours, and you have a situation rife with the awkwardness that keeps this guy from finding a way to cope right off the block.![:pinkiesad2:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/pinkiesad2.png)
There's also the chronological standpoint. He hasn't had Lyra's body for even a day yet. Even if I am playing this for comedy, it simply isn't reasonable for him to be like "Oh woe is me, I'm a pony and female now. Welp, now that the angst is out of the way... ADVENTURE!"![:pinkiegasp:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/pinkiegasp.png)

I didn't mean to be criticizing your story, and I'm sorry if I came off that way. I understand your point, and I'm actually quite fond of both this story and First Pony View, generally because they manage to buck a number of cliches about HiE stories. Perhaps I should have said something along the lines of "While I like First Pony View, I was getting a little tired of the whole "I'm a filly now" angst, until the clues in the last chapter or two suggested that either the Human existence was a fictional one, or that the two minds had merged somehow. I considered that a nice plot twist." Then again I was typing my comment from my iPhone at the time, and I always try to make those comments as brief as possible, both because I generally am on my morning break when I'm reading pony fiction on it, and because i'm not good with the little touch screen keyboard.
1082680 Suffice to say the next chapter is kind of "What is the purpose of this?", but it's all part of my scheme.
Soren's not going to continually dip back to the whole gender issue every five minutes and get hung up on it, but at the same time, he will have instances of reminder.
>Turn into a pony
>Family finds out
>Explain what My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is.
>Explain what a brony is.
>Explain what clopping is.
Wat?![:ajbemused:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/ajbemused.png)
Chapter 6: Hmph! Badly trained dogs! OUR dogs will not do ANYTHING without my word of authorization! They FEAR my power! Heck, they even wait until I order them to eat and to go to the bathroom! THEY ARE SLAVES TO MY WILL AS ALL ANIMALS SHOULD BE TO THE ALL-POWERFUL HUMANS!! (watches as the ALF and PETA spies go into conniptions) Hee hee! Trollin' the animal rights nuts!![:trollestia:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/trollestia.png)
Anyway, if Soren thinks things are bad now, just wait until the government agents come for him. He'll be sliced open and dissected alive! Oh, I'll probably be on the team.. Ya see, we have this alien protocol thing that states we have to murder every alien life form we make contact with. Because humans are the only creatures that have rights. (watches all the SETI folks raging furiously) Hee hee! Trollin' the alien-lovers!![:trollestia:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/trollestia.png)
1082826 And now for SCIENCE!!! What I see here is that Soren's personality and memories have been layered atop Lyra's brain. Her pony instinctual centers in the basal brain regions, along with neuroendocrine pathways would still be functional and add their influence to Soren's 'human' mind.
Had they somehow exchanged actual brains, then the human bran would dominate the new body entirely. As it stands, poor Soren is having to compensate with signals from the original synaptic pathways which are still intact and the genetically-programmed female equine instincts and behaviors.
He should totally go into estrus. In fact, I am now Discord and I use my chaotic powers to make it so.![:trollestia:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/trollestia.png)
I see it's already been pointed out, but your dogs are named Sodom and Gomorrah?![:twilightoops:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/twilightoops.png)
![:rainbowlaugh:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/rainbowlaugh.png)
In all seriousness though, it's perfectly fine and it's definitely original
Last but not least, since I've made enough of an ass of myself already, This really is a great fic so far, I'm definitely enjoying the psychological conflict here.
... And, a more formal apology for the rather, shall we say, uncouth opening to this comment?![:twilightblush:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/twilightblush.png)
> Even Hillary seems disgusted, and may or may not have gone on to impl that there's something wrong if I associate with those sorts of people
"Impl" should be "imply'.
This is awesome sauce [I'd bet my own neice would react the same way as Soren's neice] [She's such a sweet![:scootangel:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/scootangel.png)
Golden Retrievers? Seriously? lol They're not viscous dogs normally.
Well, that escalated quickly.
1070544 Gomorrah sounds alot like one of the Jewish bibles my father talks about sometimes... just so you know.
1750285 Sodom and Gomorrah were the two cities that had fallen into such depravity that god obliterated them to the point of there being nothing left but a smoking crater and some rubble.
2204902 Yes, and Soren names his dogs after them, and then is surprised that they act the way they do towards a "stranger"?
Honestly...!
Sadness![:fluttercry:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/fluttercry.png)
Holy shit dude! Name a cat babylon and you have a complete set of evil.
I loved it all so much it is so cute how much Harriet is attached to pony Soren I loved most of it it is sad how man's best friend turn saw agents him I can't wait to see what happens next![:rainbowlaugh:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/rainbowlaugh.png)
![:fluttercry:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/fluttercry.png)
Why did he have to tell them about the darker parts of the fandom? Don't get me wrong, I like their reactions but it just kind of seemed unnecessary to me.
On another note, I really like how this stories going so far, especially Sorin's characterization. I think it's a great portrayal of how someone might act in this situation. Oh, and Sodom and Gomorrah......... I think those would be great names for dogs!
romulus sodom gomorrah why? those are not exactly the best names to say in front of kids if im not entirely crazy.if i am please disregard comment.
5958845 Eh. Kids won't know what they mean, and it's not like they mean anything particularly bad.
Romulus? I think more people would think of Star Trek than anything else. (Romulan)
Sodom and Gomorrah? A tale from the Bible. Most people won't know anything other than "There were two bad cities. God destroyed them for being evil. The end."
Seriously, I can't see anyone getting upset over saying those names in front of children. Hell, I remember learning about Sodom and Gomorrah in Bible school when I was around 7.
My cats are named Lucifer (Lucy) and Persephone (Percy). I think I win the "bad names" contest.
I thought today couldn't get any worse. Suddenly dogs!
Suddenly pineapples

That picture is so cute /
is it wrong that I want to give Soren a hug right now
6745907 Nah, mate. He's adorable like that
since went out the back door
Damn..... that happened...
I have two issues with this chapter. First is minor in that a child would be much more open to believing the little unicorn in her grandparent's living room is her uncle. That really didn't bother me, just thought it should be said. The second is the one that I found annoying. Why did he tell them about the dark side of the fandom? They didn't need to know about that. All they needed to know about was the show and the existence of the fandom. It seems like it was only included to add conflict.
Anyway, do you really have dogs named Sodom and Gamora? Cause, that's awesome. I've three dogs named Athena, Loki, and Mephisto, myself. Loki and Mephisto fit their names perfectly.
That's probaby the most energetic golden retriever in the world.

Agree with the second one. It's like he's purposely trying to get flack.
