====== A story about three simple friends from our world finding themselves in an unforeseen circumstance were there friendship might be put to the test as they face many, many new things possibly for the rest of their lives? ========= Spoiler: Prologue It seemed like a normal night in the Everfree forest as the wind was blowing the leaves and most of the creatures known to live there are fast asleep, A quiet night as always when suddenly there’s a medium sized purple explosion coming from one of the hills within the forest the explosion lasting almost as long as the blink of an eye leaving just a misty violet smoke to hang around the air of the evergreen forest. ________________________ Deep in the middle of the misty smoke in a forest of large tall tress with dark brown bark was three figures standing on two feet, all three of them coughing and gasping for breath; one of the figures was tall and wearing what looked liked a western cowboy hat; the figure was looking around almost like in a panic state as it twisted and turned till the figure leaned into a tree. "*ahack, ahack* you guys alight?" called out a resolved sounding male voice coming from the figure with the hat which was apparently also the tallest of the three. "Bruce can you see anything?" "*ahack* I would be able to if not for this *ahack* smoke" called out a large, wide looking figure known as Bruce with a more softer male voice "I’m more worried about what just happened and why we aren’t....." "Who cares?! Let’s just get the heck outa this forest fire!" yelled out a firmer and agitated male voice that cuts off Bruce. "*oh* i don't know i thought it would be nice to have a picnic here and talk about flowers" The figure with the hat said sarcastically. "Let’s just go while we still have what's left of our balance.? said what sounded like it might have been Kyle behind Bruce. Whoever it was; they started pushing Bruce as both figures started moving in a straight line. "Good idea for once!" said what sounded like Devin, pushing himself off of the tree he was leaning on and then rushing towards the other two figures nearly tripping a few times "though things would be a lot easier if this smoke didn’t make it so hard to see" The trio made their way through the smoke as quickly as they can, finding it harder and harder to walk, for some reason, as they nearly make their way out of the smoke using nearby trees and sometimes each other to keep themselves standing on two legs. "Umm.... hey guys, am I the only one finding it hard to feel my fingers?" Bruce told the other two while all three of them kept as close as they can to keep each other from falling or losing one another. "Less time thinking, more time not burning" yelled out Kyle as he looked around past Devin "I can’t make heads or tails of where we're going, but I think I can make out a cave entrance just a few feet away" "fine with me, better to be in a stone shelter then out in the fire, hurry up before another tree falls" exclaimed Devin as he too could see the cave and then rushed there as quick as he could "follow me" "Right behind you Devin" Bruce proclaimed as he and Kyle both followed Devin to the cave. "Sure what could go wrong" Kyle said sarcastically as all three neared the cave, stepping on twigs and branches as they make their way closer. Just before Devin could reply he trips over a rock making Kyle and Bruce trip with him making them all fall into the cave which was dark enough to completely black out their eyesight. "Gah this is Even worse than the weird colored smoke now I can’t even see anything" complained Kyle, who was on his stomach much like the other two. "um... if it isn’t too much trouble could one of you, please get there um... leg off of my face" Bruce said out of awkwardness. "My bad" Devin said apologetically to Bruce and after taking his leg off of Bruce started to then rummage around him "if I could just find my flashlight in my trench coat" Devin said with slight irritation as he found it difficult to even get his hand in his trench coat's pocket much less hold his flashlight which, now that he could think more clearly thought that it was strange he was having trouble walking and holding onto stuff in the first place, when he finally found his flashlight it had fallen out of his trench coat's pocket and onto the floor rolling around until the lights came on. As soon as the flashlight came on it showed everyone’s faces which were on the floor still on their stomachs only it was a giant shock to them as instead of humans as they should be, they find instead small horse's one that was big and blue with a lime green Mohawk styled mane and was wearing a brown jacket, one that was maroon colored with a black mane just long enough for it to look like he had short hair and shockingly had wings, and the last one was the tallest of the three who was white with a light blue colored mane cut short like a Buzz cut and Beard, wearing a cameo colored cowboy hat with a black trench coat. All three of them looked at each other for a long time simultaneously blinking for what seems like minutes when all three of them screamed at the top of their lungs at the same time, their screams echoing throughout the cave and threw the forest. Just, another peaceful night in the Everfree forest... ====== When we last left off our trio in the Prologue they have just discovered that they have been turned into ponies leaving them to scream in surprise as Devin has become a large white pony with his camo cowboy hat and black leather trench coat, Bruce into the second largest but the widest blue pony with a brown jacket, and Kyle into a slim, small maroon pony with wings, with this sudden change can they cope with what has happened?======= Spoiler: Chapter 1 Deep into the once quiet everfree forest screams are heard echoing in a misty purple smoke and then into a cave as three strange looking ponies are screaming nonstop at each other and themselves as they are standing on two hooves, there screams slowly dying as they get a better hold of themselves, Devin going deathly quiet as he examines himself and the situation while Bruce grows silent also only shaking as he too looks over himself, Kyle, on the other hand, was muttering to himself loudly and panicking even. .______________ "Crapcrapcrapcrap, what the heck is going on!" Kyle yelled out hastily in a panic as he looks at his hooves which would have been his hands "what in the name of the bloody virgin mary is happening to us!" he nearly screamed as he sat on the cold hard rocky floor. Devin who seemed to be the calmest of the trio only looked over himself and the others before replying "that's a question I think all three of us want answers to Kyle" he then took a look at his own right hoof examining it at all sides "tho I'm certain that none of us will come up with one that sounds legit" Devin turned his head to look towards his two friends thinking to himself that something is at this moment, ringing in his head about the entire thing, something familiar to him as he focused his attention more towards Bruce, who's only shaking "Bruce you alright there buddy? You seem shaken up" Bruce turned towards Devin, still shaking as he brings his left hoof up and rubs the back of his neck "well umm ..... its not like this isnt shocking or anything but um..... i just dont think screaming about it is gonna fix... this" Bruce then motioned to the three of them still shaking "plus its *shuddering*..... pretty cold" Before Devin could respond to Bruce, Kyle was starting to freak out now as his muttering voice was turning more into despair then panic "were dead that has to be it th.... the... tree must've falling on us, and this is the afterlife.... tha...that has to be it" Kyle was too busy panicking to notice Devin stumbling towards him, trying not to stumble on his two hooves as Devin then laid one hoof on Kyle's shoulder and then suddenly started smacking Kyle with the other hoof. "*smack* Calm *smack* The *smack* Heck *smack* Down" Devin Yelld at Kyle as he slowly stopped slaping him allowing Kyle to get a hold of himself before Devin brought his hoof to his chin when he then started slaping Kyle again. "Why *smack* are *smack* you *smack* still *smack* hitting me *smack*" Kyle pleaded to Devin as his face moves left and right from the smacking. "Because *smack* you *smack* kept *smack* me *smack* from *smack* drinking my *smack* hot *smack* cocoa *smack*" Devin simply replied back with his resolved sounding voice agian as he kept slaping Kyle. Bruce stood behind, simply watching them knowing that its best to stay clear of Devin when he was angry about hot cocoa and just laid on his stomach as Kyle started fighting back which lead to both Devin and Kyle fighting each other clumsily as they stumble around the cave and on the floor. After a good thirty minutes of them just falling and stumbling then actual fighting they both decided to give up and laid on their backs, Devin Remaining silent and Kyle's breathing heavy. "I totally woulda won" Kyle exclaimed. "just shut up" Devin replied. Bruce simply looked at the two and then lowered his head "You know I'm probably the only one who...." Bruce felt a lump in his throat as he got both of their attentions "noticed that none of us are wearing pants" Just as soon as Bruce said that both Kyle and Devin immediately sat up and looked down as both of them simultaneously Coverd themselves with their front hooves "so that means the entire time we were standing up...." Devin said keeping his eyes locked on the ground. "we were not wearing pants or *gulp* any form of covering" Kyle said to finnish what Devin said Kyles eyes also lockt firmly on the ground. Bruce looked at them both wondering what he could do to ease the tension "um.... you know were all pants less here and its not really that weird when you think of it " Devin then got up on two hooves and walked towards the cave entrance "where are you going Devin?" "to throw up and dramatically stare outside" Devin simply said as he walked out the cave" *ugh* I can't believe this is happening" Kyle said as he looks at himself "just what kind of freaks have we become?" "I think were horses..." Bruce Said to Kyle Looking at his hooves "I mean look at us. We have hooves and everything else a horse has" "yeah well last time I checked horses don't have wings" Kyle pointed out as he turns his head to look at a pair of wings on his back. we aren't Horses" Devin said out of the blue as he walks up to his friends speaking in a calm, collect voice "were ponies" he then squinted his eyes in a dramatic fashion "my little ponies to be exact" Both Bruce and Kyle both stared at Devin silently before looking back at each other and then back at Devin. "this isn't the time to act dramatically stupid Devin" Kyle said to Devin with an annoyed voice "this is serious stuff here and the last thing we need is for you to go into your insane playful moods" Kyle then facet his wings again with a puzzled look on his face. "Kyle has a point Devin... what I mean is um.... we know you're the smart one and all its just that" Bruce rubs the back of his neck with his left hoof "its always hard to believe anything you say cause you sorta um.... go over the top with your thoughts...." "nononono not this time!" Devin said hastily to cut off Bruce "I knew something was gnawing at the back of my head when I got a good look at us, but I didn't realize it until I started blowing chunks outa my mouth" Suddanly Devin started taking off his trench coat, which seemed to look very difficult. "ugh dude please don't strip in front of us" Kyle complained as he covered his eyes with one hoof. Devin successfully got his trench coat off as he tossed it to the ground with his mouth and stood on all four hooves revealing large white feathered wings on his back "I thought my trench coat felt a little weird till it hit me when I felt something pluck somewhere on my back, and it turned out to be a feather and that's not all when I lowered my head to puke and my hat fell off and well look" Devin then took his hat off with his right hoof revealing a white horn placed on his forehead "but what really tipped it off was when I carefully looked around I saw that the world around me looked way more animated then it usually did" Devin looked at his two friends who simply looked at him with disbelief. "Devin.... I think you finally hit your head on one to many wall studs" Kyle simply said as he and Bruce both remain on the ground "what your saying is that you threw up and realized that we aren't just ponies, but ponies from a little girl's cartoon?" "in a nutshell. a nutshell?... Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying" Devin Simply as he then attempts to walk around the cave on all four hooves having trouble "hmmm... this is gonna take some getting use to" Bruce just looked back at both Devin and Kyle and then sighed "um.... i think i know a way to find out" Bruce said, which got both Kyle's and Devin's attention again leaving Bruce to feel stage fright "well um...... if we really are my little ponies then um........ wouldn't that mean we have some kind of mark on our um.... flank?" "oh hey hold on their Bruce I'm not looking at anyponys fl..." Kyle stopped what he was about to say before stating, "did I just say anypony?" "apparently this change has also reached our vocabulary" Devin stated bringing his right hoof to his beard "come to think of it, to think of it, I don't think any of us has cussed this entire time, which in itself is odd giving my views on cussing and Kyle's low self control" Devin rubbed then tried to poke the horn on his head before looking at his friends "so yeah its important that we find out if there is a mark on our flanks so you two get to it while I go outside and dramatically stare some more" Before Devin could fully turn around Both Bruce and Kyle were up on all four hooves Kyle already moving and stumbling to block Devin's path. "hold it right there Mr.Sneaky" Kyle then pointed his left hoof at Devin "either all three of us do this or none at all" "it is the um.... fairest way" Bruce pointed out. "*gah*... fine have it your way then" Devin gave out a heavy sigh as he looks around the cave "ok there is enough room for us to form a triangle, will all look at the same time so that way will know if one of us has a mark or not... deal?" Devin watched as the other two nod their heads "alright then, lets form up" ___________________ Not far off outside of the everfree forest there is a bunny looking curiously at the forest and the misty purple smoke that still fills the forest the rabbit was just about to hop closer to the forest before a yellow pony with pink hair walked up behind the rabbit. "Angel what are you doing here," said the yellow pony with a very soft female voice, the pony then lowered her head closer to the rabbit "you know it's dangerous to be out at night this close to the everfree forest" The rabbit then pointed at the purple smoke to which the yellow pony then looked at the smoke curiously before taking a small step back before she started to hear a noise coming out of the smoke. *Bleeeeeeech* *Squeak!* squealed the yellow pony who was no doubt scared of the sound, she then quickly grabbed the bunny with her mouth before running away. ___________________ MEANWHILE_________ *Bleeeeeeech* Devin was outside the cave vomiting which sounded like it was echoing threw out the forest while he press's his left hoof agianst his head "ugh.. someone please beat the image's outa my eyes" Devin pleaded before vomiting agian and after making shure he was done puking he wipet his mouth with his right hoof and walked back into the cave joining his friends who were sitting down. "hey Devin sorry abo..." before Kyle could finish his sentence Devin punched Kyle's right shoulder with his left hoof before sitting down. "Never speak of it" Devin threatened Kyle as he then turned his attention to the center of were the three were sitting "ok then, now that we got that.... disturbing.... event out of the way lets report our findings " Devin coughs slightly to clear his thought "my findings are that I was indeed right as I found Kyle's mark to be a set of scales" Devin stated as he then looks over towards Kyle. "I found that Bruce's mark is two fish tied together by the tail" Kyle replied as he and Devin both turn their Attention towards Bruce. "I um.... found that Devin's mark was um.... an amphora poring out water" Bruce Said as Kyle just gave Bruce a puzzled look. "what the heck is a amphora?" Kyle asked with a dumbfounded look on his face. "an amphora is a vase which was used by the Greeks and Romans to hold Liquid and Dry products alike'' Devin Stated "anyway now that we know that im still the smartest, and that we are indeed my little ponies we need to think of what our next move is" Devin got up on all four hooves and clumsy walked up to the cave entrance watching the purple smoke that still hung around the air "we can't really leave this cave till the smoke clears so we should instead spend the rest of the night learning how to properly walk around on four hooves" "and how to use these wings you and me have" Kyle stated, "we still have what six hours until sunrise?" "that's if we still have the same time zone as we did before" Devin stated to the others "then we have six hours to forget how the human body works and learn how to control a pony's body from heart to muscle tissue'' Bruce replied "that um... doesn't sound very um.... easy" "then we'd better start learning let's get to it ponies!" Devin said with his head held high
