"AAAAAAHHHHHH!"
The scream echoed throughout the halls of Canterlot castle. The ponies in the hallways all looked up at the same time, startled by the sudden noise. Shrugging it off, the ponies of Canterlot continued to babble on to their friends about how great it was being an Alicorn.
Back at Celestia's quarters, a frightened princess of the sun desperately tried covering herself with blankets. "Luna! Don't barge into my room! Get out, get out, get out!" she cried from underneath her cloak of blankets.
Luna didn't know what to say to her. The sight before her was so horrible, so terrifying, so unnatural that she felt like she wanted to throw up.
Celestia was an Earth Pony.
Suppressing the urge to hurl, the dark mare stuttered out a question. "W-What happened to y-you?" she asked, horrified. Her sister got out from underneath her fort of blankets and glared at Luna.
"You happened!" she shouted. "You did this to me! Give me back my wings! My horn! How could you make me normal? Do you know what you've done to the kingdom, Luna?"
Luna tried and failed to hold in her anger. She had had nothing to do with this! Now her sister, who she had been trying so hard to connect with, who she had loved with all her heart, was blaming all of this on her?!
"What about the sun, Luna? We can't lower the sun!"
Oh. She had forgotten about that. I suppose that is a problem, she thought. She needed to prove her innocence before this got out of hoof. "Sister," she started, "If I had a spell that could take away your wings, your horn even, don't you think I would have used it against you all those years ago as Nightmare Moon?"
Celestia looked conflicted. "I... I don't..."
"Furthermore," she continued, "If you would just glance outside, you would notice that you are not the only one affected by... Whatever happened to do this to you." She pointed towards the window.
"You mean, everypony else has lost their horns? Their wings?" she asked, tentatively walking towards the window. Luna looked at the ground.
"Er, not exactly..."
For the second time that day, a high pitched scream was heard emanating from Canterlot Castle.
---
The crowd of ponies outside the library was steadily growing larger. Twilight gulped, unsure of how to deal with the situation. She couldn't just reverse the spell, she didn't have her horn anymore!
Think, Twilight... Who out there is as good as or better than me at magic?
A light bulb appeared above the mare's head. She swatted it away, sending it flying into a wall and smashing into small, glittering shards of glass. "SPPIIKKEE!", she shouted, "I need you to take a letter! Oh, and can you clean up that glass?"
Twilight looked towards the kitchen, waiting for the familiar purple dragon to step foot into the library. After a few moments, a purple appendage did cross the threshold, but not one they were expecting.
"Uh, Twi, I don't think your spell only affected ponies..."
Spike the Alicorn walked into the room, looking sheepish. The mares in the room looked on with shocked looks adorning their faces. Rarity blushed.
"Er, I can fix this!", shouted Twilight. "Spike! Take a letter!" she said, holding out a piece of parchment and a quill.
"Um... How?" Spike waggled a hoof in front of Twilight's face. "I don't exactly have hands anymore, y'know..."
"Uhh..." Twilight looked around the room. Her face lit up when she spotted Rarity. "Rarity! You're used to using magic! Can you take a letter?" she asked.
"How come you ask her, but you order me?"
"Be quiet, Spike."
Rarity smiled. "Of course I'll help you, dear." she said, accepting the offered parchment. Twilight cleared her throat and began to dictate.
"Dear Princess Celestia,
There has been a terrible, (or according to some ponies, wonderful) accident here in Ponyville..."
---
Luna and Celestia sat on the elder sister's bed. The night princess was rubbing the back of her now much smaller sister, whispering comforting words into her ear. "It'll be alright..." she said. "We'll find a way to fix this..."
Celestia sniffled, tears running out of her eyes. "B-but what i-if we c-can't?" she asked. "T-the s-sun will be s-stuck in the s-sky forever!"
Luna continued to rub her sister's back, unsure of what to say. A knock was heard on the window. Surprised, both mares looked towards the window and saw a grey Alicorn hovering there, mailbag wrapped hanging from her hooves, eyes facing different directions. "Letter for one Princess Celestia!" she called.
"Er... come in?"
The mailmare opened up the window and flew in, landing on front of the bed, seemingly oblivious to the crying princess. She dug into her mailbag and withdrew a rolled up piece of parchment, tossing it to Celestia and flying out the window again.
Celestia unrolled the scroll and read it aloud.
"Dear Princess Celestia,
There has been a terrible, (or according to some ponies, wonderful) accident here in Ponyville. After a spell gone wrong, (Which was totally not my fault, by the way), everypony in town appears to have been turned into... Alicorns. I'm sending this letter through the mail because apparently, every sapient creature in Ponyville has been affected, and this includes Spike.
Due to an...unfortunate side effect of the spell, I have been left incapable of reversing the spell. Please, Princess, come here and reverse the spell! I anxiously await your reply.
Your faithful student,
Twilight Sparkle"
New tears started to form in Celestia's eyes.
"What am I supposed to do about this!?!"
Poor Celestia.
Although, I totally predicted that this would happen.
I made it to the feature box! Thanks to everyone who upvoted my story, you're all brilliant!
1650044
Exact same thing happened to me once. Apparently writing from the hip produces funnier dialogue. And people like to laugh.
1664526 It's what we're here for my friend.
And I continue to LOL
considering a population consisting of over 99% alicorns someone is gonna figure out how to move the sun. in fact it wouldn't surprise me if everyone tried it and the sun goes all over the sky.
1664566
SPOILER ALERT EVERYONE DIES
I lied.
1664577
Of course everyone will die in the end. all atoms decay in 10^100 years. i'm waiting to see how ponies react and more notably how non ponies react.
1650066 Not really. If I favorite a story, I just use this to keep me informed about chapter updates. The thumbs up/down button is for my vote after the story is finished. And more often than not I don't vote, not because it wasn't good, but also because it was not too bad.
The really good storys, which deserve a thumbs up, are rare.
1664588 Fair enough. I will try my best to spew out some quality Ponywordsâ„¢ and earn a thumbs up from you.
1664595
for me thumbing up a story takes too much effort. i'm dead serious.
1664587 As much as that is true, I don't think you should apply logic and physics as we know them to ponies
(Hint: you get headaches)
You have my attention, usually never happens, but this is pretty good.
1664673 Silly Americans, celebrating Thanksgiving in November.
Celestia Has Just did'nt Put that Protection spell on her room
luna told her a million times to.
Whoops Spying Again
1664577
That might really happen
Cuz no one knows magic unless they where a unicorn
and the unicorns would keep flying around
and then they are turned back just 30 seconds before spike proposes marriage to rarity
1650044 The story you wrote as a joke is more popular than your serious one? Join the club.
i am very afraid celestia will do this.[youtube=http://www.listenonrepeat.com/watch/?v=EC8fKFyNubk&list=LLXQxQpkPnCsJ6GIVcAiL7zQ&feature=mh_lolz]
what i mean,is go lonely and go crazy killing everyone.
So, this is based on that comic on Deviantart, right? Does this also have Twilight being the only one NOT turned into an Alicorn? Because that comic actually gave me bad feels about that, despite the humorous intentions...
Longer chapterrrrrssss.......
1664804
Kind of.
Twilight turns into an Earth pony.
1664824
Motivate me. I have a short attention span.
You should just feel like they're not 500 words each.
They are each 1,000 words. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW FAST I CAN READ 1,000 WORDS? that is... if that's okay with you....
I read the last chapter in less than three minutes. Here. This may motivate you.
1664884 THE POWER WIIITTHHHIIIN!
1664676 I'm guessing your Canadian like I am [They celebrate Thanksgiving on November because their Harvest time is LONGER than ours hence why it is in November while ours is in November since our havrvest time is shorter due to it being colder than the United States
Poor Celestia.... Bwahaha! Well at least she knows the mare who is behind all the trouble then.
Well, I guess Equestria will bake forever under the harsh sun then... Also with the moon not raised, I'm pretty sure there's massive flooding along the coasts... So much chaos is coming! I'll be awaiting your next chapter!
1665806
Wooo Canada!
1665821 Yup from Alberta Now how about Yourself?
1665828

1667191 Fixed
Celestia was an Earth Pony.
So why was she able to hang on to that part of her magic but not the other two parts?
With all due respect to the citizens of Equestria. And with due respect to the ideals of equality.
Giving everyone the power of an Alicorn out of the blue, random, without warning, with no preparation. Is like giving children hand guns.
"Uh, Twi, I don't think your spell only affected ponies..."
If it affected animals, etc, then there's gonna be cannibalism and complete break down of the ecology very fast very soon.
1674522 hey don't forget about spike... im ready to kill Blue Blood for being Blue Blood
oh god. derpy the alicorn.
Wewtifications! I was your 200nd like! 8D I feel speshul now. :3
1664720
I would love to see that as an episode, seriously....could you actually seeing Spike and Rarity as alicorns??
You do what it takes. It doesn't matter if you're tired or angry, you are here to make sure they do what needs to be done. Be an example for your people Celestia, show them you don't need wings or a horn to be powerful. Show them that true power is inside.
You need to stop using commas at the end of spoken dialogue, that's not how quotes work. "This should not be followed by a comma!" Says Sadron.
Wait Derpy The Alicorn BUCK YEAH!!!!
Um, a purple "appendage?" that means body part. I didn't even comprehend that he was supposed to be turned into an alicorn, I thought he just got a giant dick shaped like a horn. You should probably replace that word or something, it's not very clear what happened.
Sentient or sapient, and what does this mean for Demon Bunny?
4748062
Sapient (fixed that), which means Angel is not an Alicorn. Probably. It's been so long since I wrote this, I've forgotten. To be honest, it's pretty embarrassing looking at this again. It's very bad, especially the ending. The sad part is that this concept has a whole lot of potential. I might rework it some time into something readable.
