Prologue - Reunion??
*Ow. My Head.*
I tried to open my eyes. I had never experienced that kind of migraine before. I've never drunken booze ever. I'm a straight edge guy. Personal choice. I concluded that it was due to the Gladiator Energy Drink binge I had gone on last night. I decided to kick that habit once I recovered from this excruciating pain. There was loud noises ringing in my right ear. I managed to make out what it was. Cult of Personality by Living Colour. I had fallen asleep with my earphones on again, or at least one of them, anyway. I moved my hoof to my head to rub it. I couldn't feel my fingers at all, i'm guessing that was due to the migraine and...
*Wait... HOOF?!!*
My eyes shot wide open. I tried to sit up but it was hard for me to do so. but I managed to pull my arm in front of my face. Instead of seeing my hand, fingers and all, all I saw was a gray hoof. I then looked past the hoof to try and see where the hell I was.
The colors were very vivid, but I could easily notice that I was in a library of some kind. Books of all kinds in numerous bookshelves surrounded me. The migraine I was having was clouding my vision, so I couldn't make out what the titles of the books were.
"Ah, I see you're awake" a voice said. I turned around and suddenly my vision became when more colorful. Standing in front of me was a purple unicorn... a purple unicorn that I knew all too well...
"...Twi... Twilight?! What are you doing here?!!" I exclaimed. I hadn't seen Twilight since that interdimensional incident a while back and she had nearly died thanks to a psychotic Aperture Vocaloid who at the time thought I was her father. Me and my friends managed to get her healed up and send her and her friends back to their world. It made no sense that I was seeing her here... wherever this was.
"Um... I live here." She replied with a strange look on her face. "Do I know you or something? How do you know my name?"
"Twi, it's me, Keiro. Keiro Starr. Remember?" I said. How could she not remember me?
"The Keiro Starr I know is a human being from another dimension. You are not said human." She said.
"The hell are you talking abou-..." It hit me right then. My hand was a hoof. Something was definitely up.
"Mirror..." I said without warning.
"What are you on about? Why do you..." she began to say.
"...MIRROR!" I yelled at her. Twilight jumped back than ran out of the room. A few seconds later, she returned with a mirror, hovering in the air in front of her due to her magic abilities. I snatched the mirror from her magic grasp and took a look in the reflection.
What I saw absolutely jarred me. I was no longer human. I was now a gray colt with wings, a red mane and tail, large green eyes, and a heartagram on my thigh... no... my flank. I was naked except for my black fedora and my earphones, of which one was still in my now pony ears. I noticed that my MP3, which was strapped to my right arm, was now strapped to my front right hoof.
I was a pegasus pony.
*Holy Fuck.* I thought to myself.
"Holy Buck." was what I unexplicably ended up saying.
"Are you alright there, sir?" Twilight asked me.
"No, I am not alright, Twi. I'm a pony now! What happened to me?!" I asked angrily.
"Wait, you mean you really are Keiro Starr?" she said, shocked.
"Nice deduction, Captain Oblivious. I JUST SAID THAT I WAS KEIRO STARR. WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED??!!!" I yelled at her. "WHAT HAPPENED TO ME?!"
Twilight looked me up and down, as if trying to figure out what to tell me. I then saw a look that i never thought I would see on Twilight's face; cluelessness.
"I honestly don't know, Keiro. I've never heard of this before. Humans aren't a part of Equestria, so there's never been a documentation of humans, much less humans turning into ponies." She answered.
"Well, that's just bucking great." I said. For some reason, whenever I tried to swear, it came out like that, making me even more frustrated that I couldn't let out a good fuck. "I'm trapped in this pony body, back in Equestria, with no foreseeable way of returning home and/or to my human body. Just Great."
I attempted to get out of the bed I was laying in. It was difficult but I managed. Although I was too used to standing on two legs. My new body couldn't handle standing up like that, making me resort to be on all fours. I looked down at my new walking setup. "Guess I'll have to get used to this." I said, raising an eyebrow in Brahma Bull-esque fashion.
"Well, I do believe I have a solution. I will send a letter out to Princess Celestia, see if she can possibly shed some light on this situation. But for now, you'll just have to adapt to life in Ponyville until then." she said. I moved my head, wings and tail around, trying to adapt to my new pony self. "But I'll need to take on a new name." I replied. "I recall some of your friends weren't exactly fond with me and my friends in our last encounter."
"Well then, what should we call you then?" Twilight asked.
I took a moment to think about it. Then it hit me. "Call me... Starr... Starr Struck."
Twilight laughed. "Very fitting there Kei... I mean, Starr Struck."
"Thanks," I said. "Well, since you know this place pretty well, think you could show me around? Might as well get used to this place."
"No Problem, Starr." Twilight responded with a grin.
And with that, we left the library and headed out into the town. Little did I know that my friends had suffered the same fate I had... and little did I know what I was about to get myself into...
