"Heil Hitler!" yelled the surving generals, officers and soldiers to the now-decadent Führer.
"No need for such meaningless thing anymore." replied the defeated Führer.
The Führer, with a soldier carrying a box with various medals, shook hands with a young soldier.
"I've destroyed 3 Soviet tanks and eliminated 8 enemies of the Reich, Mein Führer!" proudly said the young soldier.
"You, are one of the most honorable men alive today." The Führer said with a confident voice. - Awarding him with an Iron Cross First Class.
"D-Danke, Mein Führer!" replied the soldier with tears on his eyes. If these tears meant happiness or fear for the future of his country, that only the soldier knew. It went like this for roughly 30 minutes. Some wanting to just run from Berlin, others to stay and fight a hopeless war in the name of honor. Eventually, it was the time. The Führer said the final goodbyes to everyone who still dared to stay in the bunker, and headed to his final destination with his just-married wife Eva Braun, now Eva Hitler, and his dog, Blondi.
"Do you think we're going to stay together even on the other side, dear?" asked Eva.
"I don't think, my dear. I know." said The Führer with a small smile. Eva, now living the dream of being the wife of her loved one, smiled back. Then, they had the first and last kiss of their lives. A long, passionate kiss.
"This is not the end," - said The Führer with a sparkle in his eye - "It is just the beginning." Eva, with a smile, placed a cyanide pill into her mouth, swallowing it with the assistance of a glass of water. Her husband did the same, and then, helped Blondi to swallow one too.
"If the pill doesn't work, my dear," - The Führer said while taking his Walther PPK - "You must use this, like me." he said in a firm, yet depressed tone.
"Yes, my love." replied Eva.
"I'll spare you from seeing my lifeless body." said The Führer slowly giving the gun to his wife.
Minutes later, the pill only appeared to have worked on Blondi's organism, who was lying on the ground, lifeless. Adolf tried his best to not look at his beloved dog.
"It is the time, my dear." said him.
"We'll go together, forever." Said Eva, holding onto his husband's hand. She placed the pistol on the right side of her head.
"Forever." said The Führer with a smile. She then closed her eyes and held his hand as firmly as she could, as she pulled the trigger.
The Führer, at this point, simply Adolf Hitler, not desiring to look at his beloved wife's dead body, gently took the gun from her hand and placed against his own head.
"Für immer." said him as he pulled the trigger.
Day 1
I don't know what happened. I just know that I'm not supposed to be this... little yellow pony!
After I pulled the trigger, all I did were opening my eyes, just to find myself lying on a bed. The room looked so... bright and colorful... And the lack of shadows was frightful, impossible. My body was covered by a blacket. I was too afraid to see how it would look like, so I decided to just see my hands. But there was no hands. All I saw was... I'm still not even sure.. Hooves? Fingerless hands? Deformed paws? All I could do was to scream, just to hear my voice. I stopped immediately.
"W-Was?!" my voice sounded extremely high-pitched, like a female voice, but even more.
"What the hell is going on?!" I yelled with my ridiculous new voice.
I couldn't wait one more second, I tossed the blacket aside and saw my new body. I was astonished, I couldn't believe my eyes... Oh, my eyes... They're so huge now. But that's the least important thing right now. I now am some kind of childish cartoon character, with outlines around my limbs and body. - My joints also were not in the right place. I couldn't, for example, put my hand... hoof on my back. I tried to stand up, only to discover that I couldn't walk on my back legs. I fell on the cartoonish wooden floor.
"Eva!!" I yelled. No response.
"I got to find a mirror..." I said as I tried to stand up again. It was useless. This body is too limited and ridiculous. I fell onto my bed, and noticed a mirror on the wall. This is when I saw that my "hands" and "feet" looked exactly like each other, so I did a basic inference and came to the conclusion that I am some kind of quadruped creature. With this in my mind, I tried to stand up again, but this time with both my "arms" and legs. Unstable and unaccustomed to this body, I tried to move forward, putting my "hands" before my "feet" step by step.
"Erfolg!" I shouted with my awful vocal cords.
When I finally reached the mirror, a horrible, yet adorable I must say, vision appeared before my eyes. Huge teal eyes with a miniature muzzle and a long pink hair... or mane? and a tail. I turned around and noticed that I was completely naked, and had three pink and blue butterflies on what appeared to be the side of my thighs. Now flank, I suppose. Also, I had no kind of reproductive organ or rectum. It was simply empty, like a random part of the skin. How in the name of God I'll be able to do my basic necessities? It took me moments to realize that I was gazing upon my own reflection.
"Was... WAS BIN ICH?!" my own voice made my ears hurt. At first I was concerned about my beautiful mustache and hair, but then I realized that this was the least important thing to worry about. I tried to run... or trot? downstairs, as I was an alien to walking on four legs, I fell. I think I passed out after that.
I was woken up by a, what appeared to be, white bunny.
"I already said you shouldn't run down the stairs, Fluttershy..." I was frightened to my soul, my heart almost jumped out of my chest, and I jumped into the air. That's when I found out that I was floating above the ground.
"A-Am I.. flying?" I thought, shocked to finally notice that I actually have wings! At least one good thing has happened to me.
"*Tsk tsk* Always scared of everything, uh?" said the bunny again.
"How are you able to do this?" - I asked astonished. - "How am I able to do this?" I asked referring to new superhuman ability.
"What? Scare you? That's like, the easiest thing ever." he said in a mocking tone.
"How dare you to say something like that to Adolf Hitl-" I stopped as I recalled my old life.
"Adolf what?" the white bunny asked.
"Hey.." - I said gently - "Do you by any chance saw someone called "Eva Hitler" around here?" I asked.
""Someone"? Don't you mean "Somepony"?" - he asked - "Also, don't make that voice. You know I don't like it." It was at this moment that I realized what I was. A pony. An equine animal. Not even the horse, which is strong and powerful, but a pony: A smaller and weaker creature.
"Somepony..." I said amazed, yet disappointed.
"Did you drink too much cider last night?" he asked confused.
"Ja... Do other.. ponies live around here?" I asked, hopeful.
"Eyup. You have. I'm out." he said as he hopped away.
"*sigh* I gotta find other ponies... people... ponies.. Agh! Scheiße! I don't even know." I said to myself. I then walked... trotted through the front door.
"At least I know something: My new name apparently is... Flutter... shy. Ugh." I said to myself.
The first thing I saw was a fence, which was designed to prevent unlucky passers-by from falling into the mud pool below. I found out later that this so-called “mud pool” was in fact my own personal garden. On my right there was a dirt path, which lead to a bridge connecting said path to a bigger path just in front of my miserable garden.
Around said garden, there were some flowers, a little river below the mentioned bridge, and a small tree, with many birdhouses hanging on its branches. On the other side of the main path there was a few trees, but not enough to be called a forest. At the distance, I could see that the path led to what appeared to be a town.
"Is this my house? And on the outskirts? Ugh." I thought.
I carefully trotted down the path in my property, taking care not to trip over again. Suddenly, some birds came from the birdhouses and flew towards me, invading my personal space. I calmly tried to shoo them, however I had forgotten about my new limited body. I raised both of my "arms" into the air at the same time, which caused me to fall on the ground.
"Du dreckige Vögel, just go away already!" I shouted at the birds. I swear to God that I could hear one of them say
"She's having one of her bad days.."
"Do all the creatures in this world talk?" I thought as I got up.
I could see another so-called pony trotting towards me. He had a gray coat, a bag, a white mane and tail, and a blue shirt and hat.
"Good morning, Ms. Shy" he said.
"Um.. Guten mor- Good morning." I gently replied. He chucked as he grabbed a pink letter from his bag with his mouth. I still can't understand why he chucked.
"Here, Ms. Shy, a letter for you." He said while passing me the letter.
"Er.. thank you." I reluctantly grabbed it with my right foreleg. Surprisingly, there was not even one drop of saliva on it.
"Well, I gotta get going now Ms. Shy. Lots of letters to deliver today." he said.
"Okay..." I replied as he continued to trot down the main path. I looked at the pink letter on my hand hoof, and decided to open it. I sat on the ground and tried to open it with both of my forelegs, only managing to pointlessly rub them together and crumple the letter a bit.
"I hate these fingerless hands." I said to myself out of my frustration. Following what I saw the male pony do, I decided to rip the letter open with my teeth. This proved to be much more effective, ripping it open with no issues at all. Inside, there was a pink invitation card. The cover had an illustration of three party balloons with the words "Party!" written around it. I opened it. Inside there was a light blue text with a lot of some sort of sparkly dust saying the following:
Hi Fluttershy! Today we're going
to celebrate Applejack's birthday
at her farm!
2PM, don't forget!
- Pinkie Pie
Ps: We'll be having cider!
I stopped and found myself looking at that childish invitation. Apparently this creature I am, this "Fluttershy", had a life before I somehow took over her body. This showed to be worse than I expected.
"Pinkie Pie? Applejack? What kind of names are those?" I asked myself. But then I realised something. This pony I am has friends. Apparently not a lot, but still… Perhaps they could assist me in going back to Earth, or the afterlife. Perhaps even find Eva.
As I arrived in the town I mentioned previously, the first thing I noticed was the medieval-ish look of everything. Roofs made of hay, walls made of wood with the typical board reinforcements (much like some Bavarian houses), the lack of any modern technology in sight, and dirt paths instead of asphalted roads and sidewalks. The ponies walking trotting around were all extremely colorful and most had a smile on their faces. I could not believe my eyes. However, my attention was immediately caught by, what appeared to be, a flea market. As I approched the crowded location, I could see that the many stalls were decorated in very elegant ways, in themes that matched the products being sold in each stall. Everywhere ponies were shouting and promoting their goods to the numerous potential customers. Most of it food of various kinds. Even what appeared to be children were present.
"I could use something to eat." I thought as I looked upon a stall with a great variety fruits for sale.
"Hm.. hallo." I said to the male pony in charge of the stand.
"Oh hello, Fluttershy! The usual?" He replied pleasantly.
"Uh.. What?" I asked, confused.
"Um, you know, the usual. Five apples, one grape cluster, three bananas, eight stra-"
"But why would I need all of those fruits?" I interrupted.
"Er... Your animals?" He asked, apparently taken aback by me asking about "my" own life.
"Wha- Oh, of course, of course! My animals, ja.." I pretended to know about what he was talking about as to not raise suspicion about my real identity.. Or my former identity.
"Yes, b-but no. Not today. Today I'll have only one apple." I asked, not thinking for a moment about the supposed animals that reside in my home.
"Oh, um.. Alright then. Here you go!" - He said as he gave me one apple - "That'll be one bit." He finished.
"A... bit? Is that the currency this world uses?" I thought.
"I... I don't have any bits with me." I said, unaware that my ridiculous voice and expression made me appear very defeated.
"Oh, um... You know what? Take it. It's just one apple and you buy here almost every day.. It's the very minimum I could do." He said in the same pleasant tone as before.
"R-Really? Oh, dan- thank you very much." I said, trying to not sound too grateful.
"Oh, don't mention it, Fluttershy!" He replied. I smiled slightly as I left. I'm starting to think this "Fluttershy" is an old resident of this town. I need to be careful.
I continued to see what this marketplace had to offer, as I noticed that I could somehow "hold" the apple on top of my right hand hoof through some unknown means. Despite trotting around on dirt paths, none of my hooves were dirty in any way, so I began to eat the apple.
As I did that, I wondered if time works the same as it does on Earth, and if it was close to 2PM.
"Probably not. The sun is not even high on the sky yet." I thought after looking up, as in this world the sun appears to not cast any shadows.
"Hey Fluttershy!" Suddenly, I heard this very shrill voice (even more than my own) coming from my left side. I quickly turned my head to see who it was. It was a pink pony. An entirely pink pony. Her mane was all messy and her face had an even larger smile than the rest of the population.
"So, did you receive my letter?" She said excitedly while jumping up and down. I thought for a second and realised that she was "Pinkie Pie".
"Um.. yes, I did... Pinkie Pie." I said in the calmest tone I could muster.
"Jeez... Be happy, Fluttershy! Today's AJ's birthday and there's no place for boredom or sadness under my watch!" She said very happily. I had no words. Does she make use of some kind of prohibited substances?
"I..." was the only thing that I could say.
"Oh, don't worry silly. You'll be smiling very soon!" - she paused briefly - "C'mon! I'll get you a slice of cake!" She said.
"C-Cake? Does she know about my cake abstinence?" I thought to myself.
"Wait, did you say "c-cake"?" I asked her in a shaky tone I could not control.
"Oh yes! And today the batches are just perfect!" Partly against my own will, I just let her lead me to where the cakes were supposed to be. Hopefully this body doesn't have any health issues that my body had.
