"So, I bet you're all wondering why I brought you here today." Twilight paced in front of the three mares sitting in front of her on the library floor.

"Um... Yes dear, that is exactly what I'm wondering." Rarity confirmed.

"Yeah, what's the big deal Twilight?" Rainbow Dash huffed impatiently. Twilight frowned at her.

"I may be about to hoof all of you the key to Sharky's heart! Please don't rush me!" With this, every gaze in the room (Even Spike who was at the top of the stairs admiring Rarity) locked onto Twilight. Rarity stepped away from the table towards Twilight.

"Dear... even if you could do that... why would you? You want him just as bad as the rest of us..." Twilight's head drooped and she let out a sigh. She lifted her head to look at her friends.

"I... I broke the rules girls..." Rainbow Dash and Rarity gasped.

"Whoa! You broke the rules Twilight?!"

"Oh my... Something will have to be done about this dear..." Twilight held up a hoof defensively.

"In my defense, he uhh... He still didn't get it..."

"... No way... Are you messing with me Twilight?" Rainbow Dash asked skeptically.

"Unfortunately... no. I'm not. Anyway, because I broke the rules, I decided to share my next idea with all of you."

"Well... I suppose that seems fair..." Rarity mused. "What idea did you have?"

"I've been reading this book..." Twilight levitated "101 Tips to Snare that Stallion" off of the table behind her friends and held it in front of them. Rainbow Dash supressed a small laugh.

"Twilight... Mmf... Ha ha... You have got to be the only mare I know... Ha... That would read a book on how to get a g-g-guy Ahahahahaha!" Rainbow Dash fell on her back laughing. A heavy blush covered Twilight's face.

"S-so...." Twilight shook her head. "Anyway... The most recent chapter says to try changing your looks..."

"Ohhhh~! Would you like me to style your mane dearie?!"

"Ummm... no... But, I had an idea... If Sharky can't accept love from us ponies... maybe he can accept it from... other humans!" Everypony gasped. Twilight looked around in confusion for the fourth gasp until she saw Spike at the top of the stairs. "Spike! I told you to stay in your room!" Spike stumbled and fell backward before running into the bedroom and closing the door.

"Whaddya mean 'from another human' Twilight?" Rainbow Dash spoke up. Twilight turned back around to face her friends.

"I mean... I have a spell that can change the apperance of somepony. I used it earlier to turn Sharky into a mouse." Her friends frowned at her. "With his permission!" Her friends relaxed again. "Anyway, my theory is this; Sharky seems to be unable to psychologically accept that we like him because we are a different species. However, if we are humans like him, there's no way he'll be able to deny us!"

"That... sounds risky dear... Are you certain this would work?" Rarity asked cautiously. There was a glimmer in Twilight's eyes that could only be described as crazy.

"It has to! There's no other way! We've tried everything else!" Rainbow Dash held up a hoof.

"Whoa whoa, calm down Twilight. I'm willing to try this... but... what will it be like?" Twilight paused for a moment.

"I... I don't know. I couldn't tell you what it'll be like to be human... I can tell you that if you don't like it, I can change you back at any time." Fluttershy looked at her hooves for a few more seconds before locking her eyes on Twilight and stepping forward.

"I'm doing it. I'm not going to let Sharky go!" Fluttershy said determinedly.

"I'm in as well. I need an upper hoof to attract Sharky's attention anyway." Rarity agreed. Rainbow Dash backed up a little and looked at her hooves.

"I... I dunno girls... I have to look after Scoots now... If anything happened to me..." Rainbow Dash mumbled quietly.

"Nothing's going to happen" Twilight soothed. "I can just undo the spell if you don't like it, ok?" Rainbow Dash looked around for a few seconds before she looked up at her friends. She sighed.

"Ok... I guess I'm in too."

"Ok. Well... do you want to do it now?" Twilight asked.

"Why not? There's no time like the present darling!" Rarity said assuringly. The rest of the girls nodded as well. Twilight breathed out.

"Ok girls, come closer to me." All of her friends scooted forward and Spike cracked open the bedroom door. Twilight levitated another open book off of the table and magically held it out in front of her. "Here we go girls..."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Uhh... Nice bloodthirsty little animals..." I said cautiously as I walked forward towards Unity's room. Which brought me closer to the animals, but there was no way I was leaving my son in danger. I kept gently stepping forward, each blood red, beady eye following me every step of the way. I turned my head slowly from left to right, trying to keep all of them in sight. Until I turned right to find a giant orange beak in my face.

"SCREEEEEEE!!!" The beak opened to reveal a blood-red interior and let out a nightmarish wail. The main group of assorted rodents and birds all let loose with wails of their own no more than five feet in front of me. Both of my arms flew up to my head and I clapped my hands over my ears. I took off at a sprint towards Fluttershy's room.

"So much for not aggrivating the demon animals..." I could already feel the assorted rodents scratching and biting at my heels. Luckily, I had armor so they didn't bug me in the slightest. The birds however, were proving to be a threat. I had to duck and dodge as the merciless feathered beasts divebombed at me. They were seemingly aiming for my jurglar vein. I had to move frequently to avoid losing my lifeblood. A canary flew off his perch on the stone fireplace and charged at my face. I ducked and ended up slamming my head into a... duck that had been going for my stomach. I felt a thud on my back and I turned to see a crow slide off of my sword. Luckily he ran into the flat of the blade. I jumped forward into a roll, making it just into Fluttershy's bedroom. I lept to my feet and slammed the bedroom door shut. A chipmunk had made it into the room with me, but he was gnawing on my metal ankle so I wasn't worried.

"Tee hee hee!" I looked towards the sound of my son giggling and saw him lying in a butter yellow crib with a thick pink matress in it.

"Way to make him feel like a dude Flutters..." I mutter grumpily as I ran over to scoop Unity up. I ran over and lifted him in my right arm.

*THUD* The animals had started slamming on the bedroom door. I could actually see it bulge as the demon critters slammed themselves into it.

*THUD* *CRACK* On only the second slam, a huge split appeared on the door.

"Well crap. That's our cue to leave Unity!" I looked at the windows next to Fluttershy's bed. I pushed one open and leapt out as fast as I could.

*BAM* Right behind me I could hear the door split open as the animals broke into the room. The chipmunk which had been in the bedroom with me was sitting on the window sill and gesturing to me rapidly.

"Oh dammit." The chipmunk let out a small squeak of joy. I could only assume the others had seen him. After that, he leapt from the window and landed on my right shoulder, earning himself a quick punch from my left hand which sent him flying back through the window. "Running now!" I took off at a sprint into the forest. I would have headed to town, but I didn't want the townspe... ponies to get hurt. I could hear rabid squeaking and cawing behind me, but as I ran it faded into nothing. I ducked behind the nearest tree as soon as I was out of earshot of the demon animals. "Well, that was... interesting... I guess all I can do is wait until it fades awa--- and Oh my god what if they head to town on their own?! It's only a matter of time!" I looked frantically at Unity then back to the area where the demon animals were. "Ah crap... To Twilight's house!!!" I took off through the forest in the direction of Ponyville. Then I stopped again. "Ah crap, Unity isn't wearing his disguise and it's the middle of the day! Somepony will see him!"

"SCREEEE!!!"

"Shit! No more time!!!" I took off again in another random direction until I saw something through the trees. Smoke. Coming from Esmerelda's mountain. I facepalmed at the inconvinience and ended up running into a tree. I stepped back, temporarily dazed. Unity burst into a fit of giggles in my arm. "Oh, that's funny huh? I bet the demon animals are a riot for you too."

"SCREEEE!!!"

"Right! Still running!" I thought quickly for a place to go. I couldn't just outright kill Fluttershy's animals. Especially considering the fact that they would most likely be back to normal soon. I really had to stop them before they got to town though. They may go back to normal, but whatever damage they did wouldn't. I really couldn't leave Unity alone though, and I certainly couldn't take him to help me fight the animals. Maybe I could take F... "OH MY GOD I LEFT FANG WITH THE MERCILESS DEMONS!!!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ughhh..." Twilight slowly blinked her eyes open. "That... didn't go as well as I'd hoped..." She lifted a hoof to rub her head.

.... It wasn't a hoof.

"W-what?" Twilight held out her new arm and saw five thin stick-like objects belonging to a very thin soft-looking hoof. The soft hoof was attatched to a thin leg that bent the wrong way. Twilight blinked in confusion a few times before a broad grin crossed her face. "I... I'm human!!" She leapt to her hooves in happiness, to find... hooves. Her hind legs hadn't changed shape! "Huh? Is this what human legs look like?" Then she made another shocking observation. Her skin was still lavender! "What?" She looked to her friends. The magic blast that had changed them had been too much energy for Twilight to handle, so the spell had gone haywire and thrown all of them into seperate parts of the room.

"Uhhh... My head..." Rainbow Dash sat up next to her and started rubbing her rainbow colored hair. Then she paused and held out her new appendage. "H-hey! It worked!"

"Not quite Rainbow..." Twilight interrupted. Rainbow Dash turned her head to look at Twilight.

"Whoa! You're still purple!" She looked Twilight up and down. "Your hind legs are normal too! Is this what humans are supposed to look like?" Twilight shook her head.

"No, something isn't-- You still have wings!" Rainbow Dash turned her shoulder to see her wings.

"Whoa! Cool! I was worried about not being able to fly. Ummm... You still have your horn too..." Twilight reached up to her head und felt the tip of her horn. The new stick-like appendages made her horn feel much better than a hoof did. Twilight quickly shook her head of her thoughts and looked to her other friends. Who were still out cold. Twilight's back was starting to hurt from the way she was trying to stand. Then she remembered that Sharky stood on two legs, not all four. She shakily pushed herself off the ground and wobbled herself upright. Her legs buckled at the joints, but she managed to stay upright. She felt hair against her legs and looked down to see her tail swishing back and forth.

"I... I still have my tail too..." She also noticed that her chest was far heavier than when she was a pony. She looked down to see two moderately sized mounds of flesh with pinkish spots on the end of them where nothing had existed previously. "What are these?" She turned to look at Rainbow Dash again and felt a small pang of satisfaction when she saw that her mounds were slightly bigger than Rainbow's. She had no idea why she felt so, but it was certainly there.

"So... What will Sharky think of this?" Rainbow Dash asked.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I ran quickly back to the large gathering of bloodthirsty animals. I had hidden Unity well in the forest, and planned on getting back to him as soon as possible. I didn't want my pet to die though. The animals had all congregated into a half dome right next to Fluttershy's house.

"Oh no... Where's Fang?!" I quietly fretted. As if on cue, the mound dispersed and revealed Fang in the center. He was laying on the ground, not moving. I slapped a hand over my mouth to muffle my scream of despair. I fell to my knees in sadness. As soon as my knees hit the ground, Fang's body leapt up. I gasped under my hand and let out a silent cheer. Until he turned and stared at me with a pair of huge, blood red eyes.
