Hi I am the PhonyBronyPony this is my first fanfic however that being said I welcome all criticism in spelling and punctuation. I may look for editors an co authors in the future. Also tips on how to work this sight are appreciated. [I am new]
My name is Timothy Franks and some say I am the luckiest man alive. however, before my luck got good some might have considered it terrible.
My parents died in a car crash when I was seven. I was at a school when the police came for me and to tell me the terrible news. My family was in debt so naturally my inheritance was sold off via auction to help pay off the debt. Leaving me with no family no money and nothing but my memories to remember them by.
I was sent into the foster care system but never adopted. For eleven years I stayed in the system it didn’t matter though. I fancied myself a dark lord of the sith that would strike down all the puny mortals that dared cross me. [Insert maniacal laughter.] I told myself that I didn’t need anybody. I had a couple friends closer to the end of my childhood. I stayed in the system till I was eighteen when they sent me off and into the big bad world.
The night that I was kicked out of the system my friends got together and threw me a you’re on your own now party. It was a small gathering with only my closest friends. There was Jimmie Katie and Connor. They each bought me a gift. Jimmie bought me a Star Wars t-shirt, Connor got me a football, and Katie got me a lottery ticket. We played some monopoly and rented the Jurassic parks.
As I drained my fifth can of mountain dew. Connor mentioned that he needed to go to home. Connor was also Katie and Jimmies ride so they joined him as he grabbed his bag and left. I was left alone in my tiny apartment. I sighed and grabbed the lottery ticket and revealed the numbers. I read the number five times each time my heart going faster and faster. “This cant be real!” I say to myself. Flipping the ticket over and looking for any fine print that said that it was a gag gift. There was none.
That night I became a billionaire. I found myself in position of just over 1,200,000,000 dollars. That was the start of my new life.
Three years later.
My eyelids were minimal protection from the blinding light that awoke me from my slumber. I writhed like a vampire in the light. Throwing my arm over my eyes to stop the burning.
“Sir it is time to get up. It is half past nine.” The calming British voice of William my butler said.”
I groaned but got out of bed. My feet landed on a super fuzzy rug. I put on my blue bunny slippers and walked to my bedroom table where butler was arranging my breakfast which today was over easy eggs, golden brown toast with grape jam a small steak and half a grapefruit. There was also a large Starbucks drink and a glass of water. I slid into the chair and sipped the drink of the zombies. As the life-giving elixir known as coffee entered my system I felt my corpse being brought to life.
“Good morning Sir.”
“Good morning William what is on the agenda for today.” I place my napkin on my lap and sip some water. I place the eggs on the steak and cut off a bite. It is an extremely good steak.
“you have a press meeting at three and a dinner with Connor at seven.”
“have they found the thief yet?” I ask puncturing the egg yolk and watching the golden liquid run over the steak too pool at the edge of the plate. I cut another bite and dip it into the yolk.
“I assume you are referring to the disappearances of random furnishings around the house.” William grimaced.
“Yes, I am referring to that.” I sip my coffee.
“Unfortunately, we have not. The fiend is obviously a master of stealth. They have avoided all of our cameras and motion detectors.”
“They will slip up eventually. When they do we will be waiting.” I smile and move on to the grapefruit. The thief was quite impressive I was egger to meet them. while they were steeling things from my house they hadn’t taken anything really expensive mostly just small things. They were toying with me letting me know he was here. Maybe he thought he would scare me enough so I couldn’t sleep. I doubted that he would make an attempt on my life. Burglary and murder were two different things entirely.
“On another note as of today you have doubled the money you started with.” William said changing the conversation.
“Really?! That’s great we should invite Katie Jimmie and Connor to a privet party.” I say standing up and placing the napkin on the table.
I go to my closet grab a black t-shirt and blue jeans.
“when do you want to have this party?” William asks clearing the table of my breakfast. “you forgot your toast again.” William sighs taking everything but the toast.
“Oh, thanks William. How about at lunchtime tomorrow. I walk into the master bathroom. I set my clothes on a shelf. I walk back to the table and finish the toast. My fingers are sticky from the jelly when I walk back into the bathroom
“That will work with your schedule. I will see to it that your friends are informed.” William said walking away with the tray of dishes.
I take off my night cloths. I hop in the shower tapping a waterproof touchscreen turning the water on it is instantly freezing and I scramble to swap to a warmer setting. As the water warms I rinse my hand getting rid of the jelly. Then I grab a bottle of two in one shampoo and conditioner. I squirt some on my hand I scrub my brown hair and scalp. I rinse then repeat this time leaving the suds in my hair. I hum some song I heard somewhere as I grab my scrubby off the wall and squeeze some body wash on it. I hold it under the water for a second to warm the soap. I scrub my body after I am covered in suds I walk under the water and rinse my hair and body. I stay in the water a few more moments then are necessary relishing in the warmth that seams to seep into my bones. I tap the touchscreen and the water shuts off.
Warm air suddenly starts to blast from vents drying me and pushing the water down the drain. I step out of the shower and grab a fluffy white towel drying off the rest of the way. After a few more seconds the air shuts off and I drop the towel in a bin for dirty laundry. I pick up the rest of my night clothes and place them in the same bin. I dress brush my teeth and hair. I walk out of the bathroom and grab a pair of socks from the closet. I walk to my bed and slip the socks on and grab my watch off of the nightstand. I put my watch on my left wrist and hear the familiar ticking. I walk out the door to do some gaming till three.
Meanwhile In equestria
Twilight wrote down in her journal the results of the previous experiment. She was studying a new world one that had far more advanced technology. She had just retrieved another item from the new world it appeared to be an article of clothing that the habitants of that world wore. It was rather odd and she sketched it to her best abilities. After sketching the item and giving a detailed description of the item, she placed it in a pile with the rest of the items she had accumulated. She stretched and yawned she had been at this over night and she needed a break. She set the book down and went upstairs. Spike was reading a Daring Do book next to a bowl of gems occasionally dipping a clawed hand in to pluck out a few. Spike munched on the gems not looking up from his book.
“Spike, I am heading to fluttershys house. do you want to come?”
“nah Twilight I will just stay here. Have fun.” Spike made a shoeing motion over his book.
“ok I will. Enjoy you book.” Twilight walks out of the golden oaks library and into ponyville. Twilight made her way out of town towards the everfree forest. It didn’t take long to reach fluttershys cottage. Twilight knocked on the door. the door didn’t open so she knocked louder. “Fluttershy, are you in there?” Twilight called out there was no response. She decided to go look back in town. She left the cottage heading back the way she came. She looked down the path she was on to see a spike running towards her a panicked look on his face.
“TWILIGHT!” he gasped. He was breathing heavily.
“What is it, Spike? What’s wrong?” Twilight asked.
“URSA MAJOR! IT SWALLOWED THE LIBRARY!”
“MY RESAERCH!” Twilight teleports to the town and sees the massive figure of the ursa major stomping a building to bits. Rarity is fatally trying to defend her boutique by firing bolts of magic at it. unfortunately, they only catch the attention of the ursa.
Twilight tries to teleport the contents of the uses stomach to safety but she can’t get a hold on it. she decides to go to plan B. she summons the other worlds objects from the ursa majors stomach. She feels her magic take hold and pull. She grits her teeth and feeds more magic into the spell. Her horn glows brighter and she feels her magic pulled from her in a far greater amount than should be necessary. She feels herself running out of magic quickly and she tries to stop the spell but she can’t. The magic is being pulled out of her. Suddenly there is a crack like thunder a bright flash of light and suddenly the ursa major is gone. In its place is a mansion. The spells hold on twilights magic stops leaving an exhausted twilight collapsed on the ground. Applejack runs to twilight.
“Are you alright?” Asks AJ holding out a hoof for twilight.
“Yah thanks, AJ. Just a little tired is all.” Twilight grabs AJ’s hoof and is helped up. Her legs feel like Jell-O. She takes a few shaky steeps at first but quickly finds her balance.
“Uh, twilight where did that mansion come from?” asked Rainbow dash flying down and landing beside AJ.
“I don’t know, Rainbow but my beast guess is another world.” Twilight just hoped nopony was inside.
My gaming room was my pride and joy. I had spent over a million dollars on that room alone. Old arcade games lined all four walls, each one had been restored to pristine condition by a professional. However, what sat in the center of the room was by far the coolest thing I owned. It was a movie accurate replica Star Wars TIE Fighter. There was scaffolding you had to climb to get on top of the TIE, where the hatch to enter it was. Inside the cockpit there were 4k screens that replaced the windows and always displayed space, as if the TIE was simply floating.
I sat in the seat and buckled up. I flipped some switches that would bring the TIE to life. Lights and displays turned on and there was a puff of steam that sounded behind the seat. I reached out and grabbed hold of the joystick that controlled movement. I moved my feet to the peddles, and lightly pulled back on the joystick. The whole craft tilted back, thanks to the hydraulic plate the craft rested on outside. I pressed down on the left pedal with my foot and the screens showed the craft zip forward. I moved the craft to a nearby planet.
As I started my descent into the planet’s atmosphere there was a loud BOOM. The TIE shook as I looked down at a small screen to my left that showed me the integrity of the craft. Odd it appeared that the TIE was in perfect condition. “Probably a glitch.” I thought powering off the ship, and unbuckling the seatbelt. I opened the hatch and climbed out, hopping onto the scaffolding and climbing down. When dealing with hydraulic plates better safe than sorry. I planned to have someone come out to fix it as soon as possible.
I looked at my watch, and saw that it was twelve thirty. I guess I could eat lunch now. I walked down to the kitchen, and walked to the sink I got a generous amount of soap and scrubbed my hands as clean as a surgeon’s. I dried my hands with a towel, and walked to the cupboard that held the palates. I grabbed two out and walked to the kitchen island.
Suddenly there was a loud crack and pain, so much pain. I dropped the plates and writhed on the ground, I felt like I had been shot. I squeezed my eyes shut and tried to ignore the pain, but the pain only intensified with each passing moment. “Curse whoever shot me I will have my rev-
I woke to the sound of voices. I tried to make out what they were saying, but they were so faint. My eyes felt like lead weights, I strained to open them. With great willpower I succeeded to be greeted with the bright light of a hospital room. The smell of antiseptic affronted my nose. I scrunched up my nose at smell. I looked down to see I was covered by a blanket. To my left there was a small nightstand on top sat a vase of yellow daises, and a card with the swirling words “Get better soon!” I moved my arm out from under the blankets, only to find in place of my hand there was a hoof! I shrieked and kicked my back legs flinging the blanket off me. The first thing I noticed was that I was yellow. The second was all my limbs ended in hooves. The third thing I noticed was I had a tail, and the forth and most shocking thing was that I was female. I reached down and grabbed the blanket with my front hooves and pulled it back up covering my self once again. I did not need to see that more than I had to.
I found my eyes moist with tears. I blinked rapidly holding them back. “No reason to cry over something you can’t change.” It had been my mantra when my parents died. I lived by it then and it got me through that tough time, it would again. I was alive that’s what mattered. I took slow deep breaths, they were shaky and my heart beat fast in my chest, but it made me feel slightly better.
Despite my fear, and despair I fell asleep again. Oddly my dreams were peaceful, void of the nightmares that usually haunted me.
When I woke I wasn’t alone this time. I opened my eyes to see a white unicorn with a brown mane and tail. He oddly looked familiar, which confused me. I coughed trying to get his attention.
“Your awake! Good we need to talk.” Says the unicorn in a British accent.
“Who are you, and where am I?” My voice sounded feminine, and I wince at the sound of it. Dang I always had extreme luck, not always good luck apparently.
“It’s me, William.” He whispers conspiratorially. “We are in the land of Equestria. Apparently, it’s a land of talking ponies. Oh, and before somepony comes in I came up with a new name for you, you know with your current gender and all. Feather Luck, because you have so much luck.”
“Wait Equestria like in My Little Pony, how is that possible?” My voice is going to take some getting used to. Before you start thinking I’m a brony I am not I simply had a friend that I hung out with at school, that was into the MLP franchise. He dragged me to his house once and forced me to watch the first three seasons. I liked one or two episodes, mainly the ones with, Luna.
“I would Imagine so, however I never watched the show. On another note I have been working on activating the mansions solar panels, it’s slow going but I think I should have them up by tomorrow evening.”
“The mansions here, how?”
“It teleported along with us. I have been working to get the power back on.” The door to the room opened and an earth pony walked in, she was white with a pink mane and tail. She wore a nurse cap that displayed a medical cross surrounded by hearts in the corners.
“Good morning my name is Nurse Redheart, how are you feeling today?”
“Fine I guess. How long have I been here?”
“You have been here for three days including today. If you are feeling better you are free to go.” She smiles and leaves.
I through back the covers and roll off the bed with a thud.
“I am okay.” I say to William who looks slightly amused.
I manage to get my hooves under me and I stand, a bit shakily mind you but I stand. Walking was going to be another thing entirely. I go to walk like the ponies in the show and find it far easier than I would have thought. It was like I had walked like a pony my whole life.
“Intriguing isn’t it, it’s like these bodies came preprogramed to know how to walk, talk, eat, drink and breath!” William walked around the room demonstrating his point.
“Can we leave I always did hate the smell of hospitals.”
“As you wish miss, Feather.”
“Ha ha very funny let’s make fun of the guy who is now a girl, and we are not calling me Feather luck!” I snarl.
“It had to be done at least once miss.” He chuckles and opens the door for me. I just frown and let out a tired sigh of defeat. Perhaps It would get easier with time. However, at this moment I doubted it.
As we step outside of the hospital, I am greeted with a street view of ponyville. I quickly recognize a few of the ponies on the street. Some of the ponies looked familiar but I did not remember their names. Down the road I can see the carousel boutique.
“Down there by, Rarity’s place is where the mansion landed.” William pointed a hoof toward a spot in the middle of the road near the boutique.
“Where is it now?” I ask, seeing that it is not there.
“Well they couldn’t leave it blocking the road so, Twilight got together some unicorns and together they levitated it to the edge of town.” William started walking down the street away from the boutique. I am slightly surprised at how easily, William is taking all of this. However, on the other hoof, he had always been my voice of reason when I needed him to be.
“Does it have running water? I would imagine that the plumbing was damaged in the moving of the mansion.”
“Yes, the plumbing was damaged but I explained the situation to, Twilight and she enchanted the building’s taps with water summoning spells.”
“So, no water bill?” I ask hopefully.
“Only you miss, would think about money in a world of magic.” He chuckles lightly.
“Hey money is a big concern, since you know we left it all in the other world. Besides even if we did have it wouldn’t be the right currency.” I sigh realizing how unprepared we were for something like this to happen. Then again how could you prepare. Ok maybe you could keep solid gold bars in your house but still.
“Hmm perhaps we could sell some things. Or rent out the spare rooms we have plenty of spare rooms in the mansion.”
“Perhaps that would work.” I say walking besides him.
“On a brighter note the Apple family has graciously provided a basket of apples, as a welcome gift.”
“That is very kind of them.” I say turning a corner with William only to come face to face with the menace of Ponyville.
“Hi I’m, Pinkie pie! And you must be, Feather luck and, Mr. William! Welcome to Ponyville!”
“Thanks, Pinkie we are excited for the party.” Says William looking a bit flabbergasted.
“Hey, who told you about the party?” Pinkie interrogates.
“Miss, Rarity I believe it was.”
“Okey Dokey Loki Well see you at the party.” Pinkie hops of a smile on her face.
“Well that was nice.” I say with a smile.
“Pinkie is a very friendly pony.” William says walking down the street.
“How much further is the mansion?” I ask looking up at the sky to see a few pegasi moving clouds around.
“Just around the corner and down a few buildings. Why are you getting tired? do I need to levitate you there?” Teased William with a slight smile.
“No, I was just curious how far out the house was. Also, I wonder why you are a unicorn and I am an earth pony, what’s with that?” I say exasperated.
“My theory is that the magic affected us differently, when we were sent here. For instance, your gender changed while mine did not, and I got magic while you did not.”
“Looks like you also stole my good luck.” I say frowning. We around a corner and see the mansion a few houses down.
“Let’s hope I didn’t steal all the good luck, we both will probably need a tremendous amount before we get back home.” Williams smile is gone now replaced with a slight frown.
“If we ever get back home.” I say effectively silencing us both, till we reach the door to the house.
“Hey what do you know we made it back to our home sweet home.” I say sarcastically rolling my eyes.
“Almost funny miss.” He says opening the door. I step through and he follows. First thing I notice is that the house Is clean and the air fresh.
“Would you like a bath, a snack, a nap, what can I get for you?” William asks closing the door behind him.
“We need to get the power on, then see if we can contact our world.”
“As you wish miss. However, it might take me a while.”
“That’s fine I have some things I need to check on.” I say turning and walking upstairs.
I walk into my room and close the door. I know that I have a large mirror in the closet. I walk to my closet door and thank the havens above I was a billionaire. I place my left front hoof on the wall to help stabilize me as stand shakily on my hind legs. With my right hoof I press a button that was on the wall. It would have been at my shoulder height as a human but as a pony It was a bit more difficult to reach.
The closet door slides open to reveal a closet the size of a small room. The power may be off but the door worked because, it was powered by a spring. The button simply released a latch holding the door closed. Inside the closet specially tailored suits hung perfectly in line that would make any OCD person say that it was too perfect. At the far end of the room sat a full body mirror. I stood in front of the mirror and forced myself to look at myself.
I was a yellow pony with bright blue mane and tail. I noticed that I apparently had a cutie mark. It was an odd one that made no sense to me. I knew that cutie marks are supposed to reflect your talent but I had no clue what my talent was. It was a blue feather with three stars beside it. I struggled to come up with what it meant but fail miserably. I looked at my face, I noticed I still had my blue eyes. “Well at least I kept something of my old body.” I sigh and walk out of the closet. I leave the door open, so that I can enter it without having to press the button.
I count myself lucky that I installed lever door knobs instead of the round ones on every door in the house, excluding the closets as those had buttons. I open the door to the balcony, and take a deep breath of air. I sigh and walk to my bed. It seems massive in my current state of ponieafied shortness. I leap onto the bed. The bed had been made since I last had slept in it, and I didn’t wish to mess it up so I just laid there and closed my eyes. I tried to sleep but I couldn’t, though the fresh air was nice. The air was untainted by the burning of fossil fuels.
Eventually I got up and went to find, William. Maybe I could help get the power on.
Turns out that, William had misjudged the amount of time it would take to get the Soler panels on. Working together we got them up and running by dinner. Unfortunately, the sun set before we could gather enough energy to fully power the Mansion. We luckily had enough power to cook dinner but that was it.
I was starving by the time dinner finished cooking. I hadn’t eaten anything all day, possibly days! The last thing I remembered eating was that steak and egg breakfast.
Unfortunately, with this new body I could no longer partake in the consumption of meat. I also will be missing out on bacon, probably the worst fate imaginable. William tried to console me with the fact that I could still eat chocolate and other sweets, however despite his best efforts I still was besides myself with unimaginable sorrow at the loss of meat. Maybe it was a combination of all that had happened today, but it was all just too much for my mantra to contain. I shed a single tear for the loss of my dear beacon.
On another note, dinner was excellent. William out did himself we had fried okra, mashed potatoes with mushroom sauce, (In place of brown gravy, which contains beef fat apparently.) asparagus and boiled spinach with salt. It was dark out so we had to eat by candle light.
While, William washed the dishes using one of the candles for light. I found some batteries and headlamps in the kitchen. I gave, William a head lamp and he looked grateful. I put mine on and walked to my room. In my room I kept a small collection of books I hadn’t read yet on a small shelf. Most were sequels to book I had already read. I grabbed one at random and carried it in my mouth to my bed. I read for a while but quickly fell tired. I set the book on my nightstand and went to close the balcony doors when I had an amazing idea. I walked onto the balcony I sat down and looked up at the night sky.
“Goodnight, Luna.” I say into the quiet night. I turn and go back inside closing the balcony doors behind me. I go to my bed and burrow under the covers. I move my head out from underneath the blankets, and rest my head ageist a white fluffy pillow. In mere moments I am asleep.
I dreamt I was on a sandy beach in the middle of summer. I relaxed resting my head on a bundled-up towel. The sun was shining and the crash of the waves was soothing. Kids laughed and played in the sand, I opened one eye curious to see what they were making. It appeared that they were making sandcastles. I reached down and picked up my coconut drink and took a sip. The sun was warm, and I relaxed. I dug my feet slightly into the warm sand, and closed my eyes.
Suddenly gunshots rang out my eyes flew open. A few of the kids dropped to the ground. Mothers rushed to their children. The mothers who saw their children were fine picked them up and ran away, leaving the devastated mothers alone, with their children slowly staining the sand red with blood. I got up in a flash wiping the sunglasses off my face, my adrenalin pumping.
There was a road and a line of buildings behind the beach. I dart towards the buildings already knowing what I would find. I clench my hands into white knuckled fists. I run into an ally to be greeted by a bald guy in a white tank top, he wears a gold chain around his neck that I am sorely tempted to use like a garrote to strangle him. Instead I merely slam my balled fist into his jaw. He stumbles back surprised, I grab him by the shirt and pin him against the brick wall of the ally. Some cuss words were exchanged; however, I won’t repeat them now.
“What the heck were you thinking?” I growl and press him harder against the wall.
“Hey man chill it was only a couple of kids. Besides what else is a guy supposed to do for fun?” He says grinning.
“More like ruined families. Just because we don’t have families doesn’t mean you can ruin others.” I say with righteous anger.
“You have more of a family then the rest of the gang. Maybe your too soft for this gang, maybe you should leave.” He snarls.
“Yah well I will! I am done with this gang find a new scout.” I punch him in the face one more time and walk off.
As soon as I leave the ally I notice that I have turned into a pony again, so has everypony else on the beach. Quickly night fell, like in the matter of seconds.
I look around a bit shocked. I had had this dream multiple times before but it never went like this.
“Some, Nightmare, definitely unusual however we imagine each mind is deferent.” I turn to see Best Princess aka, Luna standing beside me on my left.
“Princess Luna! What brings you here? Besides the fact that dreams are part of your domain.” I ask barely restraining myself from hopping around in a circle screaming, Luna is in my dream. However, I am still not a brony.
“Well we must admit saying goodnight to us made us happy that somepony remembers us, and our night. We decided to give our greetings and welcome thee to Equestria.”
“Hey I have an idea one moment.” I focused on changing the dream slightly and a building to my right, that once was a dentist office was now an arcade.
“What is an arcade?” Luna asks, Gesturing to the sign.
“Oh, you’re going to love this.” I say grinning. We walk inside and I order some tokens. I give a half of them to, Luna and I carry my half in a bag. I have to use my mouth to carry it, whereas, Luna just levitates hers.
We walk to a skeet ball machine and we both insert tokens. After explaining the game to Luna, we both roll our balls. I make The ten hole and Luna gets the fifty. We continue to play the game till we run out of balls. Then we walk over to a packman game I play a round to show Luna how, then watch as she crushes my score.
“Hazzah the fun has been doubled!” Luna calls as she eats a blinking ghost.
Eventfully she dies and she walks over to a new game. I stare at her score in disbelief as she has easily beat the highest score on the game!
“Feather, what prey tell what is this game, it says it is Big Buck Hunter?”
“Uh Luna you might not want to play that one.” I say wishing I had remembered to leave that one out when I created this arcade.
“Oh, Feather thou jest surely. We wish to play this game. She inserts a coin and picks up a gun with her magic. The game starts and she watches the animals go by, and when she points the gun at a deer the game announcer tells her to pull the trigger. She does, there is a bang and the dear falls dead. “Feather what fowl contraption is this?!” she shrieks dropping the gun and stumbling back.
“A game I told you not to play. But don’t worry it is all virtual, and it is a dream. It isn’t real.” I say unplugging the game. “Come on I think it is time for this dream to end. Don’t you?”
“Yes, well it was rather good to meet you, Feather. We hope to return to this arcade soon just maybe avoid that game.” She smiles.
“You should come visit me I have a real gaming room, you would love it.” I say as the dream begins to fade.
“We shall take thee up on thine offer. Goodbye feather, may you wake rested.” With that I woke up.
“Finally, I don’t have to wake you up miss.” Says William sliding back the curtains so that sunlight fills the room. “Odd I got a letter from the princesses. They are going to be coming for a visit today.”
“That was quick.” I say getting out of bed and walking to the breakfast table. Today it was grapefruit and toast with jam. A cup of steaming tea sat on the table as a replacement for my usual coffee. I normally would complain at the lack of coffee but I decided not to. William had already done a lot for me. The past few days and I had no money to pay him with.
“What was quick?” Asks William as he makes the bed.
“Luna coming for a Visit. I would have imagined she would have waited a day or two.” I say grabbing the tea and taking a sip.
“The power should be restored by noon.” William says as he takes the book I was reading last night and returns it to the shelf.
“Good I will show Luna my gaming room.” I say digging into the grapefruit. Breakfast was good but I still missed meat, though some people have been vegetarian their whole lives and are perfectly happy, maybe I could do the same.
Feeling more optimistic I decided to get it over with and take a shower. After all I had to bathe at some point. Dreading the task ahead I went into the bathroom and closed the door
My hooves were loud on the tile floor of the bathroom. I looked at the shower and muttered a few curses under my breath. The controls for the shower was all touch screen, so the lack of fingers was going to be a problem. I guess I could use the stylus that I normally used for signing online documents on the screen. I wondered if the soap I normally used would be toxic to ponies. It might be safer to just skip the shower. I realized I was procrastinating, so I went into my bedroom and grabbed the stylus.
I walked into the shower to find my normal shampoo and body wash was gone in its place was a tear free strawberry scented soap. I sighed and turned on the water, it was set to my previous setting. Warm water poured from the shower head soaking my fur and making it feel twice as heavy. I picked to soap up and started to scrub it into my fur. I noticed why it was tear free soap quickly. With such large eyes the soap got into them easier. Once I was covered in suds from head to toe I let the water wash them off. When I was clean I shut the water off and relaxed happy to let the warm air dry me. When I was dry and the air shut off I walked out of the bath room.
William stood at the balcony talking to somepony I couldn’t see. I walked toward the balcony to find out who William was talking with.
“-as long as it wouldn’t be any trouble.” William says as I slowly walk into view of who he was talking to.
It was another white unicorn with a purple mane and tail stylishly curled. The one pony I had hoped never to see in this new body.
“Not at all darling I am always happy to help in such a crisis. Says Rarity smiling.
It was probably the scream of terror that alerted them to my presence. I turned to flee, but before I made it five feet I was picked up in a glowing yellow aura.
“Miss, Feather, you can’t avoid this forever. Plus, you really must be presentable for the Princesses today.” William said in his ‘I know what’s best for you’ tone.
“TRATOR!” I scream and struggle in the magical grip as Rarity pulls out a brush. “YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS, WILLIAM!”
“It’s for your own good miss. I am sure that you will thank me later.” William says calmly. “Miss, Rarity please proceeded.”
Rarity starts with my mane. Brushing the hair into a semblance of a style.
“Stop struggling darling, you are going to look just beautiful for the Princesses.” Rarity says trying to calm my heavy breathing.
I seethe with rage. How dare they do this to me! I timothy Dark lord of the sith shall have my revenge. I think already planning their demise involving a volcano and miss led villagers.
Rarity finishes with my mane and moves on to my tail. I have stopped struggling now but am still pined by Williams magic.
“There now see darling, that wasn’t so bad was it.” The fowl demon spawn asked as she finishes her brushing. I don’t grace it with a reply so she just sighs, and says her farewells to the ‘Betrayer’.
Once she is gone I simply get up and walk out of the room. I make sure to avoid looking in the direction of the ‘Betrayer’. I wasn’t entirely mad about the brushing, as that would have had to been done soon enough. I was mad about who did the brushing. Rarity while she probably had the best of intentions, was like a dog. You feed her once and she will be back every day for more. Now I would probably be forced to go to the spa once a week, or even worse wear a dress! Once I let those things happen the next thing I know, I wake up one morning and cant find my man card.
As I walk down the hall I spy a mirror. Curious I look at my reflection. It wasn’t too different from the last time I looked in the mirror. I was still a yellow mare, with a blue mane and tail. Only this time my mane and tail looked decent, luckily Rarity hadn’t gone all out on the frou-frou. I groaned and decided I might owe Rarity an apology for the way I acted. However, that being said William wasn’t off the hook yet, and probably wouldn’t be for a while.
I continue down the hall and enter a room to my left. It was a simple living room. A couch sat in the center and a large tv hung on the wall. I sat on the couch and picked up the remote for the tv. I carefully pressed the power button. The tv turned on and went to a small list of available channels. I saw a few channels I recognized. One being a news station form earth, I hurriedly selected that one. I hoped for something about my disappearance, however they were talking about some political matter that was happening. I was tempted to leave and see if I could get onto the internet, but I didn’t want to risk leaving and missing information. My waiting was reworded and I turned up the volume when they said my name.
“The search for the Billionaire, Timothy Franks, has turned up nothing. Police suspect kidnaping however no evidence of fowl play has been found.” A young woman says looking to her associate.
“That’s interesting that you bring that up, Sandie, because a young man going by the name of Nathanial Franks claims to be Timothy Franks brother. Personally, I think this young man is attempting to claim a fortune if Timothy isn’t found.”
I sit there shocked. I had been searching for my younger brother, however my searches turned up nothing. It was almost like Nathanial never existed. So why now, why after all this time did he finally resurface.
The two people on the tv started talking about the newest trend, and my interest was lost. I turned off the tv and walked out of the room with a new determination to get back home.
This new discovery about my brother was bigger than my anger towards William. I ran down the hall towards my room. I poked my head in and looked around. William was nowhere in sight, so I rushed down the stairs very carefully, because its hard to walk down stairs when you have four legs. once I was at the bottom I walked toward the kitchen.
I was halfway to the kitchen when I heard the door bell ring. William popped out of nowhere to open the door. Outside stood the two Alicorn Princesses, their manes waving in the same direction.
“Your majesties please allow me to welcome you to the house of, lady Feather Luck” William says bowing low.
“Please dispense of the formalities, we are here for video games.” Luna says smiling. She walks inside fallowed by Celestia.
“It is nice to finally meet you, Feather Luck. My sister hasn’t stopped talking about these video games since this morning.”
“Princess Celestia the pleasure is all mine. I do have some business to discuss with you, however that can wait. Right now, I believe it is time to show, Luna the gaming room.” I say leading them towards my favorite room.
When Luna sees the gaming room she darts form game to game beating my high scores on all of them. meanwhile I try to explain to Celestia how to play Mario. Unfortunately, she just didn’t get it. When William asked if Celestia wanted something to eat. She went with him to find some cake. Leavening only Luna and me in the room. Luna stared at the giant tie fighter in the center of the room.
“Sorry, Luna but that game just broke recently.” I say unhappy that it will take far much longer to be fixed than I last thought.
“Alas, that game looked to be most enjoyable.” Luna sighs.
Luna and I play several more games together. If Celestia came back to check on her sister at any time I didn’t notice. Luna decided to buy many of my games, though I was sad to see them go I knew that I would need money before I got home.
