It has been one week since DJ’s ‘incident’ and things have been slowly returning to normal. Discord’s magic wore off the very next day after DJ returned and he took three hours just learning how to stand up and walk. He spent the rest of the day adjusting to his new limbs. It was difficult at first, but it started to become second nature to him after a while. Twilight had DJ to herself the next day and they spent it learning magic. They also were trying to understand DJ’s cutie mark. He already had it when he was converted, so he must have already known his special talent, but had yet to fully realize it. That was, until he accidentally froze half of the library trying to cast a spell. Ice magic; that was his special talent. Needless to say, we has pumped! Ice magic is best magic!

Today, the entire group had decided to go out on a picnic. Twilight, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Applejack were at the picnic table, watching the show. DJ had begun flight training the other day, with Rainbow Dash as his teacher. They watched as DJ flailed in the air, unsteady in flight. Did I ever mention that I do not enjoy heights, especially not at high speeds! At least now I can control it, somewhat. He also did not have his swords on him, so he couldn’t cheat. Eventually, he crash landed next to the table.

“Ow,” he said flatly.

“Nice try, DJ,” snickered Rainbow as she landed in her seat at the table.

“Gee, thanks. *Sigh*. Really, though, thanks guys for everything. I am still trying to get used to being a pony, so it means a lot to me that you’re all helping me.”

“No problem, dude! It’s gonna be fun once you got better control; I’ll have another flying buddy!”

“It is nothing, darling. Especially after all that has happened,” added Rarity.

“Heh, heh. Yeah, last week was hectic. Definitely not the best birthday ever,” said DJ. All of them dropped their drinks and their mouths were agape. DJ gave them a funny look. “What?”

“Darling, did you just say your birthday?”

“Uh, yeah. The fifth of July, the day I killed myself? That was my birthday, so yeah. Not the best self-present ever. What, didn’t I tell you all when my birthday was?” The all shook their heads. “Oh…oops.”

“I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS?!” exclaimed Pinkie Pie. “I MISSED ONE OF MY FRIENDS BIRTHDAYS?! EVEN WORSE IS THAT HE’S MY STUDENT! I must be losing my touch.” She points her hoof at DJ, who is looking fearful of her right now. “Well then, we are having your party tonight! I’m inviting all of our friends; Discords and Genie, too. I need to go get things ready, bye!” She took off, leaving them all staring.

“Okaay, well it’s not like we had anything better to do tonight anyways. Hope she doesn’t go too overboard.”

“I can’t believe you never told us your birthday, DJ. You didn’t even tell me,” said Twilight.

“Sorry, love. I guess it never came up in conversation. To be fair, though, my birthdays have never been very exciting. Since I was a loner on Earth, I never really had any parties. The gifts were usually pretty simple as well.”

“Well, shoot,” said Applejack. “Then we need to get you some darn good gifts! Come on girls, we got presents to get!” They started to head into town, leaving DJ alone. Twilight stayed behind for a second.

“We’ll see you at the party, hon.” She kissed him on the cheek. “Keep working on your magic and the time will fly right on by.” She trotted off, waving goodbye.

“See ya, Twi.” Now what do I do?

You could find some way to turn back into human, ya stupid prick!

Really? We’ve been over this man, we can’t turn back. This is our body now; no ‘ifs’, ‘ands’, or ‘buts’.

When Malice first came to inside DJ’s mind and noticed their new body and…well. It wasn’t pretty. Malice was screaming at DJ for his stupidity for days and still was pretty ticked. He was a manifestation of human pride, after all. Now, he was in a body that he felt was beneath him. DJ didn’t know if Malice would ever accept it, but gave up trying to convince him.

One of these days, DJ. ONE OF THESE DAYS!!

I know, I know. ‘Boom, pow. Straight to the moon!’ Just drop it already.

NEVER!!!

DJ shook his head and went to the clearing to practice his magic.

**********

Several hours later, DJ was outside the library. Pinkie had dropped off an invitation during his practice sessions. It said to wait outside the library until he was told to come in. So there he was, waiting. He secretly hoped there would be cake, and lots of it. And Celestia ain’t touching any of it! That’s my cake! MINE!

The he heard Twilight call out his name through the door. “DJ!! Come on in!” DJ strode through the door and his ears regretted it.

“SURPRISE!!!!!” They yelled out. They were all there: His family, the Elements, the CMC, his other friends, Pixel Berry, Discord, and Genie. And in the middle of the room was the largest cake DJ had ever seen! It was huge! Easily towering above Discord and Genie. DJ only had one thing to say.

“That cake better be chocolate,” he warned. Pinkie nodded enthusiastically. DJ grinned and was greeted by everypony. The party began with a small dinner and then some dancing. And they all found out something: DJ was an even better dancer as a pony. His movements were so fluid, that he even surprised himself, especially when he started to dance with Twilight and he was twirling her around the dance floor.

Then it was time for gifts. Everyone had gotten him something. He blushed as all the gifts were pushed forward. “Aw! Thanks guys, you really didn’t have to do this.”

“Of course we did, silly,” said Pinkie. “What kind of friends would we be if we missed your birthday? Unh uh, not gonna happen. Now go on! Open your presents!”

DJ began to tear into the gifts. They were all different. Twilight had gotten him a set of the first Daring Do books. Applejack’s gift was a jug of fresh cider (Saving that for later!). Rainbow’s was a ticket for one free Sonic Rainboom. Pinkie Pie’s gift was the massive cake, which DJ had been drooling over for some time now. Fluttershy made him a promise to get him a pet of his own later, DJ agreed happily. Rarity made him a brilliant suit, but asked that he wait to wear it until the wedding.

“Have you guys even set a date for the wedding, yet?” asked Fluttershy.

“Yeah, we agreed for it to be next month. August the second to be exact. The day I first came to Equestria. Our wedding will make that day even more special,” DJ said as he leaned into Twilight, who did the same.

Spike and the CMC (including Nyx) were next with their gift: gem-encrusted cape. It was black on the outside and dark blue on the inside, with sapphires running along the lower edge of the cape. DJ put it on immediately. Because it’s awesome! Vinyl and Octavia gave him two records, each with the respective giver’s taste in music. Lyra and Bon Bon gave him a pile of candy from her store. Ditzy and Dinky had a basket of muffins. Yay! Breakfast for tomorrow! Berry’s gift was also from her mother and aunt. It was for a special day of magic lessons taught by the princesses, themselves. Twilight was beyond jealous, but DJ promised to take her along. All that was left was Discord and Genie. Discord went first and gave him a glass of chocolate milk.

“A glass of chocolate milk? Not as chaotic as I thought your gift would be, but hey, I’m not complaining.” He picked the glass up in hooves and began to gulp the drink down. After a few moments though, DJ knew something was up. He set the glass down on the table and his were wide. “What the hay?! None of it is gone! What’s goin’ on here, Discord?”

“It’s simple! It’s a forever drink. It never runs out of liquid and never spills. Also, it can change to any drink you like. All you need to do is tell the glass and the drink will change,” explained the lord of chaos.

DJ’s eyes went wide when he thought of something. “Any drink?” he asked. Discord nodded. His muzzle then had a bright smile and he talked to the glass. “Change to Mountain Dew.” As he spoke, the liquid in the glass changed from dark brown to a lime-green drink with bubbles in it. DJ picked it up immediately and began to chug the drink, falling on his back as he did so. He drank for over a minute before finally pulling it away. “Ahh! It’s been a year since that glorious taste has been on my lips. I missed this stuff!”

Twilight picked up the glass in her magic and sniffed it. “What is this stuff?” she asked. DJ encouraged her to take a sip, so she took a small amount in her mouth. “Woah!” she said. “It’s good, what is it?” Twilight passed it over to her friends as she looked to DJ for an explanation.

“It was my favorite soda back on Earth. It’s called Mountain Dew. It is not actual dew from a mountain, it’s just the brand name.” Everypony agreed that it was good, Rainbow’s eyes sparkling after she drank it. When it got to Berry, she chugged a good amount of it, relishing in the taste from back home. When it finally got back to its owner, DJ addressed Discord. “Thanks, man! I love it! Gonna be hard to beat that!”

“Oh, I don’t think so, my friend,” said Genie. “I believe this gift will be blow your last one away.” Genie handed the wrapped present to DJ. He ripped off the packaging and opened the box, his eyes going wide and his mouth agape.

“N-No way! Is this…is this thing real?!” DJ asked in shock at what was inside.

“Very much so. I knew you’d like it!” said Genie with a wide grin. What DJ beheld in the box was beyond words. It was something he always wanted, but knew he could never have. Genie had given him one of the most powerful devices ever! It was a freakin’ omnitrix! (Omniverse edition!) “Go ahead, put it on!” DJ took ahold of the watch and wrapped it around his neck, figuring it would be better to have it there. Immediately, the omnitrix began to glow a green color, showing that it was activated.

“This is so cool! How does it work?”

“Simple, just like on that TV show you are so fond of. But, I added a few features. It has an artificial intelligence inside of it. Go ahead, talk to it.”

DJ hesitated for a moment, basking in the awesomeness. Do it man! I want to try this thing out! If even Malice was excited, then it had to be done. “Uh, hello? Omnitrix?”

“Good evening, sir,” it replied.

HOLY SHIT!!!!! IT’S JARVIS!!!! AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! They yelled inside DJ’s head together. “SO COOL!!!!!!”

“Wait there’s more!” said Genie. “I put in two special keywords that I think you should try out,” he pulled out a sheet of paper and handed it to him. “Here, read this aloud.”

“Um, okay. Let’s see. ‘Human up’?” Immediately, the omnitrix activated and DJ felt himself grow taller and leaner. There was a flash of green light and some electronic sounds and DJ was looking Genie right in the eye. “Huh? What the—No way?!?!” The others were staring wide eyed, as DJ was human again! With the addition of a shoulder guard on his left arm with the symbol of the omnitrix (though it look liked it was locked behind blast doors), he looked just as he did before.

“See? I knew you’d like it. That phrase, as well as its companion, will instantly transform you into a human and place the watch in form lock. There is still a time limit though, as once the omnitrix is out of power, you will revert back to normal. You can also say ‘power down’ and you will transform back. The other phrase I think you will especially like; I got it just for you.”

DJ read the sheet again and his eyes bulged. “Does this say ‘saiyan’?! Sweet! I can learn how to become a super saiyan! Genie this is the best gift ever!”

I’ll fucking say!! You know what this means, kid?

“Heck, yeah I do. It means that we’re back in business, baby!! HAHA!! No one can stop us now!” The others simply stared at him in awe. “Power down,” he said and a few seconds later, DJ the alicorn was back.

AWW!!!!

Later!

“This is definitely an unforeseen turn of events,” said Twilight. “But I’m glad you can still be a human, DJ.” There was a hint of sadness in her eyes. DJ smiled at her.

“But, I’m not human, Twi. Not anymore. I am a pony and that is who I will always be. This was the plan later on anyways. It’s a little earlier than I expected, but I really don’t mind. I kinda like myself better this way.” Twilight smiled at him and they kissed. This caused an ‘aw’ from the adults and an ‘ew’ from the fillies. “Thanks, everypony. This has definitely been the greatest birthday party of my life! Now there’s just one thing left! As a wise man once said: ‘LET THEM EAT CAKE’!”

The party was riot afterwards. Things were beginning to get interesting in Equestria and nopony even knew the half of it. Also, the cake was delicious!!
