Unexpected Aftermath
Prologue
___________________________________________________________
I sigh as I walk, a little sluggishly, through the city, reaching into my pockets and pulling out my phone and wallet.
I’d just moved house about a week ago and adjusting has been hard to say the least. My new home is way up in the hills, with nothing really close by like my old home.
Now, if I even wanna go to a simple store, I have to take the bus instead of walking there.
Plus, it’s impossible to just go even for a simple walk without becoming exhausted. The area is so steep, every time I decide to leave the house I have to ask myself, “Do you wanna go up to the small shop up the hill road?” or “Do you plan on catching the bus?”
If either of the answers to those questions is “no” I simply don’t feel any drive to leave the house.
It’s been so much emotionally difficult, I haven’t even gone back to work yet.
Seriously? My only option is a defect?!
The sudden close voice causes me to yelp, my phone and wallet flying out of my hands.
My phone goes off towards the road, but I lunge for my wallet first, but am just too late as it drops down into the drain.
“No!” I gasp, turning to get my phone. My bank card is in there. If I can’t get it back, I’ll need to cancel it first.
To my horror, though, my phone smashed when it hit the road, and, to add insult to injury, three cars quickly drive over the remains, leaving no chance of recovery.
Oh, quit your complaining. So you lost some block thing and some money. Big deal.
I look around angrily to find the one who caused that, but I don’t see anyone looking my way aside from casual glances.
“Who are you?” I yell, causing several heads to turn, before they walk away, not caring.
Doesn’t really matter for you, the voice replies and I realize it’s a female voice. All you need to know is you’re the lucky guy who gets to help me. Though, of course, you had to be a defective human, didn’t you?
I blink, before frowning. Why is that voice suddenly annoyingly familiar?
Hey, don’t you complain. I’m the one who’s going to be stuck with your defective body for the rest of my existence, the voice replies, sounding like it’s pouting.
“And just why would you be stuck with my defective body,” I ask, looking up at the sky, “Cozy Glow?”
The voice giggles. Oh, so you do know about me.
“Like how I know about your retarded plan to drain Equestria of all its magic, which would’ve eventually led to its death?” I say snarkily, if anything, to cover up the fact I’m inwardly freaking out as to why in the world I’m hearing and having a conversation with a mad filly from a cartoon show. “Yeah. I know about that. I also know you’re pathetic if you think Grogar doesn’t know you, Cheese Legs and Tirek took the bell for yourselves.”
She giggles again… and I get the feeling she knows something I don’t. I’ve only watched the leaked episodes of Season 9 of MLP up to The Last Laugh and 2, 4, 5 Greaaat, so I haven’t seen how much their plans to back stab Grogar horribly backfire on them yet. What does she know that I don’t?
Well, I guess this won’t be a problem for you then. Just know the Time Pause Spell I’ve cast will stop about five seconds after I’m done, so if you don’t wanna get hurt, you’ll wanna move fast. Have fun, I know I will.
Before I can ask just what in the world she’s talking about, my body feels hot and I feel like I’m falling forward and the world goes black for several seconds.
When my sight starts to return, everything is blurrying and really bright.
Shaking my head, I’m vaguely aware that something feels off, but I can’t tell what.
Glancing around, I see two large fuzzy objects either side of me. One is red and black and the other black and green.
Shaking my head a few times as my eyesight starts to clear… and my face goes blank.
I’m in Equestria. No getting around it, those colours of landscape are unmistakable to anyone who’s watched the show for the last nine seasons.
I look ahead, blinking in confusion. Wait. Why does it look like every creature type from the show is up on that hill far off… and is that Tempest?
Shaking my head again, I look around, before noticing something bright in the sky.
Looking up, my eyes widen. The Pillars of Light, the Young Six and Mane Six are all floating in the air, glowing with light. In the centre of them is Twilight, who’s glowing as well, her head thrust upwards, a beam of rainbow light towering in the sky.
Looking around again, I frown. Everything’s still. There’s not even any wind. It’s like the world is frozen in time.
Suddenly, no sooner have I thought it, the world seems to start moving again as the rainbow light curves and starts heading right towards me!
Panicking, I whirl around, managing to get a good look at the things standing next to me, my eyes widening again. Tirek and Queen Chrysalis, or, as I like to call her, Cheese Legs.
But, there’s something different about them. Tirek looks way bigger than he did in Frenemies and Cheese Legs looks like she’s been mutated or something.
Though, I don’t give that too much thought as I fling myself forward, rolling along the ground as the sound of a big bang goes off behind me, telling me the other two didn’t get out of the way of the Rainbow Laser of Death.
I regret not looking where I was going though, as I tumble down the hill, rolling head first over and over until I hit the bottom with a resounding thud.
Ow! That hurt. My horn’s killing me and now my wings are stiff.
I blink. Wait a minute. Wings? Horn?
Opening my eyes again, I glance to my sides to see large, bright pink wings. What the fuck?
Looking up, I see a long horn protruding from my head… which has a mop of cycle curls that are worryingly familiar.
Suddenly, Cozy Glows words catch up to me.
I’m the one who’s going to be stuck with your defective body for the rest of my existence
No. No, don’t tell me… don’t tell me Cozy Glow made us switch bodies? And since when the fuck was she an Alicorn?!
I like it! I look forward to more!
Nows your chance save Tirek and Chrysalis before they hit ROCK bottom
Welp, I wonder what kind of excuse this guy’s gonna come up to prove to the Mane 6 that they’re not really Cozy Glow.
This has potential though I’m curious how your going to move the story forward I can’t wait for more
You get us curious alright, now lets hope next chapter is a better and longer than this one :D, and hopefully, you don't abandon this fic, like the one is based off, that one I was waiting for long and never got more chapters T.T.
Let's see how many people you have attracted to this place. 12 Thumbs up and 0 downs.
Hmm this story intrigues me. Let the fun commence.
This is great stuff. Keep it rolling.
Hmmm... sounds like something Discord would give his Seal of Approval to.
I don't think you will
First of: cool it's Tempest
Second: are there more than one zebra (haven't watched the episode), cause if not, Hasbro has disappointed me with Zecora being the only zebra to appear in this entire 9 season series
I'm interested...
So Cozy took the guys body while said guy is now stuck in Cozy's body, if he is able to get away it would be cool if he tried to find a spell to make his new body into that of an Anthro, after all he is so used to hands he would want them back I'm guessing.
Interesting. Not the first time I've seen this premise, but the first time during this scene. I wonder which path our hero will take from here.
Will they:
A) Pretend to be Cozy Glow and have a "sudden change of heart"
B) Pretend to be Cozy Glow and claim to be only clipped by the Rainbow Laser and thus got purified rather than petrified
C) Tell the truth and pray they believe it
D) Run. Run and teleport away to some noncanon city and try to hide from the ensuing nationwide manhunt.
... I kind of hope he sticks with the two people cozy worked with a bit of a stick together in a world that has it out for them worse now...
Great start looking forward to see where this goes, and how the harmony rainbow will affect "Cozy". As well as seeing how they'll try to play things.
Really needs an editor. Other than that, interesting enough idea.
And this story is now locked on my radar of interesting things to read.
...I’d rather be Cozy Glow than move homes.
Best case scenario currently; Bash your head against a rock and tell them you got amnesia.
Really now? Suddenly, Cozy Glow knows not only time freezing spell, body switching spell, another world looking spell, knows about humans, and can cast it all in the blink of time? After getting horn for afew hours?
She could only throw raw magic and some telekinesis in the show, and that already impressive! She never even learned magic! Magic sucking spell was given to her by Tirek, and Grogar's Bell had it's own manual. What a bullshit.
And that ignoring not just cliche, but template for getting into equestria.
Also, there was no such hills. They stood on pretty flat place.
And rainbow blast was like, 10 meters wide. No dodging will help there.
And if to nitpick, than he should have fallen facefirst into the ground immediately after unfreezing, as Cozy was in air.
Now, it's not poorly written, it's just lazily written. Unimaginative. Illogical, even.
And don't tell me about Alt. Universe excuse. Logic should work everywhere.
I'm not even talking about what might be in the story with "sex" tag when MC is in kid's body.

Clap. Clap. Clap.
You have my attention.

I agree with this, though I would of worded it differently in a more um polite maner. Non of his statements are wrong, I’m especially concerned about the Sex tag when Cozy’s a kid. Then there’s the whole aware of humans things. I’d like to see where this go but at the same time I’m pretty sure you want to rework some parts, Cozy Glow wouldn’t know inter dimensional fuckery magic since she was born with wings nor would she have a powerful enough grasp on her magic to do something as absurd as switch with said dimensional being. I gave it a thumbs up cause all his concerns are valid.
This is why I almost always carry things in my pockets and never in my hands unless I'm using it. Pockets don't have a habit of suddenly opening up at the mere startle.
(Unless you have the kind with pathetically shallow pockets, in which case, dispose of that FILTH at the earliest convenience.)
(Yes, small pockets have hurt me before)
Cozy Glow fucked up, plain and simple. Not only does she have no magic, no wings and no knowledge of her new world. But she’s gonna have to deal with a more messed up reality. Sunset lucked out, the human world she went to was a parallel universe of her old one, so she could get away with all the stunts she pulled (at least until Twilight showed up) Cozy is not going to be so lucky, especially since unlike in her old world, her innocent act isn’t gonna work.
IIRC, it DID take "Grogar" by surprise
Clearly, you need a proofreader. I could do it, or you could get one here

So Cozy decided to switch bodies with a human literally having the worst luck in the world.
I shudder to imagine what'll happen on her side, but in the meantime, having to occupy the body of a known criminal now on the run? Not enviable in the slightest.
Or if you just don't care about the show finale.
Thanks to a certain someone, I can now read this story!

Ssssh ssh, it's ok The pockets can't hurt you anymore.
You know when Cozy called the MC a "defevtive human" I wasn't expecting it to be such a perfect description...
Too slow on the uptake and unable to understand a simple conversation... though from my experience with people so far that does seem to be the norm for most humans nowadays...

I mean, when youre talking to a *fictional* character with your *mind*(?), you tend to be confused. Then to suddenly switch bodies with only 5 seconds to figure what the heck is happening. The mc is lucky they retained some sort of muscle memory to even be able to move out of the way
Deja vu, I think I've ever read this before
The man went sans mode and dodged it
Now to re-read everything!
