"Well, I think it's that time of the year again...." I said "I should bring something new this year, but what?" Scanning the room so he could find the perfect item for him. "No, not the Gameboy. Not the N64... Not that... No..." I then saw my 1997 portable TV/Radio. "This'll do... I guess. I mean, it is just a fair and this isn't really required... *sigh* I just love showing off. I just want to stop!" I shouted "I don't want my friends to think of me as a self-centered guy... I don't want to be that jerk!" I slapped my face to get myself under control. "It's okay. I planned it already. I know what to bring, I know what to do. That's it." I calmed down a bit as I packed the T.V. in my bag and asked my parents to fetch me to school. "Well, time to go..." I sighed.

Hello there! My name's Marion Christopher and I'm just that guy who... I'll explain later, gotta get off the bus.

"Darn You T.V."

Chapter 1 of Flashed With New Bodies

October 7, Monday 7:00 AM

        “Bye! Have fun in your fair!” My parents said as they dropped me off extremely early which is good for me. I gave out a sigh of relief. “Great, I have enough time!” I ran to the classroom and to my surprise, no one’s inside. I smiled. I wanted to surprise them all. I grabbed a few cardboard boxes and tried to block the T.V. “I can’t wait to see the look on their faces when they take a look at this.” I giggled but then sighed. “God, when will I STOP?” I sat down on the floor and waited for the people to come here.

        *clink*

        That was the door. “HELLO!” I shouted. The person just squealed back in reply. “Ugh! It’s only you, Kenz…” I grunted. “Yeah, sorry for scaring you though.”

“That’s okay, just don’t do it again.”

“Correction: Just ‘hope’ I don’t do it again.” I said with a grin.

“Fine, whatever you say, Mac.”

        There’s that name again. Mac. My name is Marion Christopher. Call me Marion anytime, but I’d go by the name Mac. Well, I'm a geek who wears glasses. I'm a bit chubby but I'm trying to exercise a bit. Then there's Kenz... I have to explain later... Anyway this is the story where I somehow became my OC and why I blame the T.V. for it.

“Sure enough Kenz. Anyway, did you see Cy on the way?”

“Nope.”

“Well, I’m planning on surprising my friends so don’t interfere here okay?”

“Got it!”

I patiently waited for the second victim. The opener of that door shall be surprised. Oh, I hear many people outside… Lucky me.. I thought with a grin.

*clink*

“HELLO!!”

“Gah!” The group said in unison.

“Ah, perfect. Brian, Frank and Kyle. Three’s a crowd anyway. So, are you ready?”

I think it's the right time to explain it now. *ehem*. Basically, Brian, Frank and Kyle are my three best friends. Brian is a thing dark skinned guy while Frank is the same thing. Brian has spiky hair while Frank has standing hair. Kyle is the shortest of the group. He has a fair skin and also chubby. Kenz is just a guy with standing hair, brown skin... Now, I'll continue...

“Wait a minute.” Frank said “Why did you scare us in the first place.”

“A man gets bored.” I said. “Why, don’t you get bored too?”

“I guess.” He said. “Anyways, what is this ‘thing’ you wanted to show us?”

“Well, it’s this thing!” I uncovered the box and revealed the T.V. “Well?”

Kyle came close to the T.V. eyeing it with pure amazement. “Dude, how did you get this?” He said with amazement. “I mean, my dad sure doesn’t have that!”

“My dad gave it to me. I used it to view Pope Francis’ visit here.”

“Man, you really are a hippy.” Brian said. “Anyways, let’s test this out.”

I nodded and plugged it in. Then I remembered my uncle’s words.

‘Remember, T.V.s that old are dangerous. They have capacitors. You have to turn it off before you unplug it. And oh, you need rubber boots too because you’re on ground. You’ll get shocked if you’re on the ground.’

And that really frightened me with this T.V. of mine. I switched it on then a blinding light shocked me. I lay down on the ground in pain of my eyes.

“Guys, I can’t see!” I shouted.

I heard Kyle shout. “Me too!”

“Gah!” I then forced my eyes open to see that nothing was wrong. I stood up and brushed myself of. “Guys, did you feel that?”

“Yeah, it was like a flashbang from CS:GO.” Brian said. “Probably an electric shock from the T.V.”

“Well, I also didn’t see what happened.” Kenz said. “Any clues?”

“I don’t know? I ain’t the valedictorian of the school!” I said. “I blame the T.V.!”

“I don’t know, dude. Look.” Kyle pointed to the T.V. and it showed a news channel in Black and White.

“Hey, Channel 8’s on.” I said as we both sat down and watched. I saw that the counter on the bottom right said 9:30.

As much as I was confused... I didn't notice that two hours has passed... Damn I didn't bring my watch.

“TV PATROL News Flash!” The T.V. said. “Abangan, ang mga tao ay nagpapalit ng anyo sa kanilang katawan. Ito ba’y galing sa mga maligno?”

Translation: “T.V. Patrol News Flash! Coming up, people are suddenly transforming. Is this from the supernatural people?

I switched off the T.V. and gave out a worried laugh. “Heh, I don’t believe in superstition. How about you guys?”

“No.” They all said in unison.

“Well, I’m packing this T.V.” I then turned it off and unplugged it properly.

See, my uncle’d be proud of me!

*Clink

“Sup’ m8’s! How sit’ goin’?”

“Oh, hey Aidan. You’re pretty early today.”

Aidan.... He's just a bit taller than me. He is dark skinned, has curly hair and can be pretty aggressive at times. And for some reason, likes talking in internet language which I have no idea what it means....

“Ayy! Old T.V.!”

“Yeah…” I said “Hey, did you feel anything before you came here?”

“Well, I got blinded for a few seconds.”

Wa-wait a minute. Aidan wasn’t here when I plugged in the T.V. There must be only one explanation…. It affected more than one class. Probably the whole school! They must’ve suspect something. I GOTTA HIDE!

Aidan then slapped me. “Chill bro! What’s the deal, m9?”

“Supernaturals, Transforming, T.V. BLINDNESS!” I said loudly. I saw my friends making a circle around me. “Guys, trust me. Something will happen…” I continued. “If I am right, we will all transform…”

And they laughed. “Hhaha! You crazy?” Kyle said. “Wooh! You haven’t made me laugh that much ever since!”

I gave them a serious stare. “I’m serious.”

“Easy man, you really do look serious.” Frank said. “Ey, nigga. Let’s prepare!” He said to Brian.

“Kay, nigga.”

Let me explain. My class, is very special. I mean, my class consists of friendly people. There’s this guy who’s allergic to the sun. There’s this guy who likes tickling me. There’s also this guy-- no, let’s not go to… him… Anyways, Brian and Frank are the best of friends, they are both calling themselves niggers. To not be racist, they’re wannabes from what I can say. Heh, it’s funny. I imagine them bromancing. Then there’s Kyle. Kyle’s my best friend. We play on Steam and do random stuff like trying to search for the weirdest things on the internet. And there’s Kenz. He’s a car addict and he knows everything and anything about cars. He plays games about cars, he talks about cars, he reads about cars. I’m starting to think about a new Shrek is love thing happening. Anyways, that is what you need to know right now, I still need to know how to write with magic.

Frank grabbed a bottle of water and drank it as fast as he could.

“What the hell are you doing?” I said. “Drinking water that fast is unhealthy.”

“I’m storing water. I’d probably wouldn’t drink water later for some certain reason.” He said, panting for air. He then turned to Brian. “Nigga, I think I’m hallucinating from the lack of oxygen. Mac! Splash me with water!”

I grabbed my water jug and splashed him with water. He wiped his face and turned to me. He screamed and fainted. I turned to see Brian and screamed. “AaaaaAaAAAHH!!!”.

“What? What’s the matter?” Brian said.

“Your ears!”

“Aw crap!” He said as he held his ears. He then looked at me and screamed. “YOUR EARS TOO!”

I touched my ears too and gasped. “It isn’t really that bad. I mean, the feeling is foreign to me. I mean, my ears are on top of my head. I always draw furry creatures!”

Kyle then approached us. “Yeah, I mean. I like fluffy ears! Wait till’ we grow a fluffy tail!”

“Wait, a minute.” Kenz approached us. “What if teacher comes?”

“I’ll do this. Hand me a handkerchief.” I said. “Here’s what I’ll do. I’ll peek through the window of the work area. That’s what I will do.” I continued. “Good luck to me. I SHALL RETURN!” I then walked out of the room and ran to the work area. I ducked and heard through the door.

Quiet…

Hiding my ears, I tried to look for a guard. Well, I saw a janitor nearby.

“May pasok ba ngayon?”

“Ay wala po. na-cancel and fair.”

“Ahhh, iyan pala ang rason.”

“Bakit ka’y may panyo sa ulo?”

“Wala po. Bye!”

Well, not all of us are from America. Here’s the translation:

Me: Are there classes today?

Janitor: Awww, None. The fair was cancelled.

Me: Ohhh, that’s why…

Janitor: Why do you have that handkerchief on your head?

Me: Uhhh, NOTHING Bye!

Well, that was really embarrassing of me. Never ran off like that.

I came back to the room. Everybody’s okay. I started to notice their ears. They’re having colors. I never saw my ears. “Hey guys, anyone got a mirror?”

“No, but I got my iPhone.” Kyle said and took a picture. “Hmmm. Here ya go.”

“Thanks Kyle! You really are a professional when it comes to pictures. Now let’s see.” I saw yellow ears. Familiar… Yellow… Ears… “Ooooh…. my… God…”

“What?” Kyle said as he approached me. “What’s the matter.”

“Daylight Star…” I said. “Daylight…” I then turned to Kyle. “Kyle, YOU HAVE BLUE EARS!”

“Yeah, I had these when the T.V. flashed.”

“They’re BLUE Kyle! BLUE!”

“Yeah, so?”

“Richie! Richie Bling!” I started to hyperventilate. Kyle then hit me in the nuts with his elbow. I went down on my knees started to rethink about things. “Kenz…”

“Yes?”

“What are the color of-”

“They’re green, Mac.” Kyle said. “They’re green.”

I then lay down on the floor with tears running down my face. “You know my secret!”

“Huh?” Brian said. “What secret?” He said as he lifted Frank’s body to a chair.

“I make fanfics...” I continued. “About ponies.”

Well there you have it folks, a secret revealed. Anyways, I’m that geek that plays video games everyday and draw. I really have nothing to do. I study occasionally but I already know what the topic is. Anywho, I was crying and crying, but the other reason of crying is that the O.C. who I was is Daylight Star. And the one with the green ears was Blazing Shield who was Daylight’s love interest, but we don’t know that yet…

Just hope it isn’t...

“Well, yeah? You’re a brony right?” Kyle said.

I replied with a confused “Huh?” then Kyle got his iPhone and loaded a page.

“Remember… I’m a furry. Twokinds… Sebastian was a brony too you know.”

“*sigh* maybe you’re right. Also, Kenz. Let’s just hope you aren’t what I think you are.”

“Ayy, Lmao. I’m an OCD person. Get shrekt with my comeback!” I saw Aidan. He had gray ears.

“Well… I have nothing.” Brian said. “Well, Frank’s got an old cellphone, does that count?”

“Heh….” I chuckled as I steadily stood up, but I felt something. “Augh! My ass is itchy…”

“Ma-mac….” I then turned to Kyle. He pointed at the bulge behind my pants. I then took it out and there flows a magnificent tail. A brown tail.

“I-if my tail is brown… Then my hair is…” I then tried pulling my hair and saw locks of brown. “Well…. That’s enough life for me for one day… I’m just going to pass out.”

I didn’t pass out. I just slept in my chair… And that’s it for now. I mean, this is what I wrote from the experiences yesterday so if anyone’s reading this… These are notes from preventing the same thing from happening. Wait, so…. Does this basically mean that this is an instruction manual with a story? Very well then… I’m pretty much out of paper so I’ll just have to end it here.

Meanwhile in Canterlot Castle...

Luna trotted to the throne room and saw her sister Celestia.

"Sister did you feel it?" She said with a worried tone.

Celestia said while sipping on her tea. "Yes, I have felt it."

"What does it mean?" Luna questioned.

"I don't know, but our world is going to change. For the better or for the worse." She said as she continued sipping her tea. "Contact the 'elements'..."
