...a Sun(Burst)y Day!

Tom's eyes continued to glance down in confusion at what had happened to his friend. Nontheless, he stepped through the door and closed it behind him, putting his coat on a coathanger and removing his gloves. "And I thought Nottingham was cold!" he said jokingly. "The Midwest sure can be freezing somedays!"

"Yep!" Starlight answered, the sunny optimism of her character clearly filtering through and starting to dilute Katrina's own personality. "Good thing I've got the heating turned on!"

"So, seeing as what we wanted to discuss is happening again," Tom continued, "shall we get on with it?" He took a seat at the table, suddenly noticing a large piece of wood on the table. "Any clue as to how the Staff of Sameness got in here?"

"Nope!" Starlight answered, popping a mug down in front of Tom and sitting down herself. "Or how it even did this. It doesn't even have any residual magic in it in the episode in which it appeared!"

"It was just an ordinary piece of wood, if I remember correctly," Tom replied. "Anyways, Jimmy unfortunately couldn't make it; something about heavy snow according to what I could make out on the phone. It's a shame, as his expertise would be helpful."

"You tell me," Starlight sighed. "So, how was Germany as a dragon?"

"Weird. Everything was so small, and the people were so confused. 'Vas' was all they asked. (That means 'what' in German.) Still, Jimmy got in there as well; he was Smoulder!"

Starlight briefly ignored the fact that Tom had used British spelling for the character's name, and interjected. "Any clues as to where the 'curse', as Jimmy calls it, comes from?"

"According to a friend of mine who works for AMTRAK," Tom answered, "it was the consequence of magic infusion irreversibly altering his DNA, causing it to be set off constantly. But coming into contact with him has produced similarly weird results for others. Troy and I were affected in Brentwood last summer, and again at Walt Disney World, which is probably when you were exposed."

"Tell me about it," Starlight answered. "That was not a fun moment in my life, not least how Jimmy, or Rosette, or whatever she was called, was being so blase about it. At least you were worried!"

"And for good reason," Tom answered in turn. "Both Jimmy and I have noticed that if we change gender, who we are attracted to reverses. When Vapour, I was attracted to guys! Then it reversed again the next day when I ended up as Rumble!"

"Good thing I've never changed gender," Starlight sighed. "So, I can only assume that we'll have to be very careful from now on and not do anything stupid."

"That," Tom replied, "and pray. That often helps. Remember that time at Youth Camp we brought the house down with 'Will the Circle be Unbroken'?"

"That was a fun way to round that one off," Starlight smiled. "Of course, Charlie is still convinced that we're a couple."

"Then he's silly," Tom sighed. He picked his cup up, and was going to put it back on the side when he slipped, and his face slammed into the ruins of the glasses from earlier that chaotic day. Groaning, he pushed himself up, only to glance in a mirror to see something was off.

His polo shirt had suddenly lost its collar, and had turned from the usual blue to a white, with a turquoise trim running along the top of the shirt. "Oh dear," he said, and headed off as quickly as he could. "Which door's the bathroom?"

"Third door on your left!" Starlight shouted in the distance. "Seems like you're having issues too."


Tom entered the room and closed the door behind him, glancing back to the mirror to notice he had inexplicably gained a green jacket, as well as his slacks changing into blue jeans before his very eyes. Not long after that, he gained a pair of white and red trainers on his feet, a change from his usual brown ones.

"Am I condemned to this fate for all time?" he asked, as his vocal chords began to shift. His normally Midland tones were replaced by one of the most nebulous accents on the planet, and his skin tone soon changed to a light peach shade compared to the usual tan he was familiar with. His brown eyes were replaced with blue ones, and his brown hair with red. His body shrank in stature as he was reduced to the height of approximately a fifteen year old. It felt odd to be so small and weedy again, and as he approached the door he crashed into it. "OW!"


Starlight heard the commotion, and ran to the bathroom door. "Are you OK?"

"No!" answered the voice of Sunburst. "I can't see where I'm going!" There was another loud thump as he crashed into something.

Starlight opened the door, to see an absolutely note perfect replica of Sunburst in front of her, who fell out of the door with a crash. "Glasses, please!"

Thinking quickly, Starlight went back, got her old glasses, and handed them to Sunburst. Before their very eyes, they changed into a pair of black circle rims, complete with repaired bridge and temples. Sunburst popped them on, and stood up. "This magic never ceases to amaze me," he said quietly.

"You and me both," Starlight sighed, before a loud whoosing noise in the front room alerted them. Running through the door, they saw two foals in the room. One was Starlight and the other Sunburst, thereby making it innapropriate to refer to them as fillies as one was a colt.

"How did we get here?" Filly Starlight asked.

"You're the one who ate too many sweets and caused us to fall through a portal!" Colt Sunburst replied.

"Am not!"

"Am too!"

"AM NOT!"

"AM TOO!"

Human Starlight huffed. "QUIET!"

The entire house fell silent almost immediately. "I've got two fillies in my house, and a lot of explaining to do to my family, who are coming over. Life is fun."

"I'm a colt!" colt Sunburst protested.

"Hold on," human Sunburst said, as his phone went. "Yes? Jimmy? There's a snowstorm and you need some help?" He put the phone down. "Starlight?"

"Which one?" Filly and human chorused together.

"Filly. Can you teleport me and human Starlight to Manteo, North Carolina?"

"Sure thing!" Filly Starlight lit up her horn, and they were in the instant teleported to Manteo, next to a very surprised Jimmy.

"That was fast!" he said.

Just then, a huge energy blast rocked the mess of ice and snow.

Author's Note:

I can't be the only one here who had no clue what Sunburst's accent was, right?

The appearance of both pony Sunburst and Starlight is a callback to this story;

That you do. That last bit is of relevance later.

My dad can't relate, he grew up in the Midwest before moving to the southwest, so he's used to the cold. :ajsmug:

Did she just break the fourth wall?! :applejackconfused:

Damn! :pinkiegasp:

The Staff of Sameness is an object from The Cutie Map, the first episode of Season 5. Starlight Glimmer uses it to remove cutie marks...or not, as it turns out to be a random stick.
