Damn, my everything hurts again...

Sigh.

I hate lightning.

Opening my eyes, I see that Nightmare Moon has flown off somewhere, I don't see her anywhere around here.

That daughter of hell!

Sigh.

I slowly stood up, grunting. Lots of ponies were around me, worrying about me.

"I'm okay..." I managed to mutter.

"That lightning bolt knocked you out!" one of the ponies said. "No one knows how you're still alive!"

Damn, what a shock. Wait... My smartphone! Electricity plus things that use it plus the wrong voltage equals destroyed electronics!

Taking the smartphone out of my pocket, I can see that Nightmare Moon has been carved on its back. I don't know if lightning works that way, but it's more than okay. And the smartphone still works! Got lucky, after all. Whew.

Wait, where is Pinkie Pie? That rainbow maned pegasus? Peach-colored earth pony mare? Purple unicorn? Three other noticeable ponies which I do remember seeing somewhere around?

Ugh, my head hurts. I better go drink something fresh, my mouth feels dry.

As if on cue, a glass of water is brought to me. Thanking the pony who brought it for me, I gulp down the water in one go. Oooh, so refreshing!

Well, I think the only thing I can do now is to sit and wait.


It all worked out well in the end. Nightmare Moon was, in fact, Luna, the younger sister of Celestia. Luna was freed from her madness and will rule alongside Celestia as it was a thousand years ago.

What a twist! D-D-Double twist! Fucking twistacular!

After the revelation, I saw the sun being raised. That was... oh nine circles, I don't know how Princess Celestia does it! Fuck, it’s the most powerful thing I've ever seen! Moving the fucking sun is mind blowing!

And now Pinkie Pie is throwing a party to celebrate the sisters' reunion. Everyone in Ponyville is invited, including me.

This time, I was near the food and drinks, drinking another bottle of hot sauce. Then I saw Princess Luna approaching me. She’s now much smaller than before, and paler, seemingly weaker. Yet she is still taller than me, but she hangs her head in shame.

"Young colt?" she addressed me, speaking quietly. “I-I would like to tell thee that I am truly sorry for my attack... I just... No colt, especially as young as thyself, deserveth to be treated like that..."

"I forgive you, Princess Luna." I told her. "Now, when I see the full picture of what you've been through, I see that you meant no harm. I made you angry and paid the price, and you weren't exactly yourself back then."

"Wise words for a colt as young as thyself. But did not the lightning hurt?"

"It did, but only for a while. What's done is done, princess. I don't hold a grudge against you." I assured her.

"T-Thank thee... I will remember thy forgiveness." she nodded, then walked away.

Well, now a princess owes me. I don't really want that but it’s still good to know that at least someone will help me in my time of need.


After the party ended, I found myself in the Sugarcube Corner, the local bakery and home of Pinkie Pie.

"So, are you alright, Flame?" Pinkie Pie asked worriedly.

"I'm fine. Why are you asking?"

"Well, you were the bravest pony, you stood up against Black Snooty! You held an argument against her and you were so close to winning, but she cheated with her magic and BOOM you're struck by lightning and lying on the ground unconscious!"

"Nah, I'm okay."

"Alright. But don't forget, tomorrow is school! I've already arranged everything!" Pinkie Pie grinned.

How did she manage to do it in such short time?

"Uh, but I don't have anything for school..."

"Silly filly, you have! I bought it just for you!" the hyperactive mare replied, bringing lots of stuff from out of my vision. Just how does she do it, I want to do that!

Well, there are quills, ink wells, exercise-books, even a pair of... saddlebags? Yeah, I think it is what they're called. And, do they not have ball-point pens?

"Uh, that is generous..." I asked. "I just... well, I like when someone does something for me, but I'd like to pay it back."

"Well... I do need somepony to help me at the bakery."

"Oh, I think I can handle it." I replied. Well, I've never worked at a bakery. I guess there’s a first time for everything. Ironically, I've never been a pony before either.

Literally everything happens for the first time with me, it seems.

With an unfaltering smile, Pinkie Pie told me: "Alright, then after school you will help me bake!"


Pinkie settled me in her own room. Well, it is not too large, but sure comfortable. Nice color scheme of pink and white, and there are two beds with two chests of drawers. Did she have the second bed or did she buy it?

I don't think I want to know.

And now, I will try to use telekinesis that Pinkie Pie said all unicorns can do. I’m part unicorn, but does that change anything?

So, there’s a quill in front of me. What do I do to it?

Hm...

I try to move it like a jedi, using my hoof to point at the quill and try to move it with my mind. Nah, that doesn't work. Even if I concentrate a lot. The force is weak with me.

Damn, this is harder than I thought.

Sigh.

I hate hard things.

***

Fifteen minutes I spent trying to make the quill move. And it didn't move a millimeter! Just, come on, I'm a freaking alicorn! Somebody like me should be powerful enough to move the quill!

Suddenly, something snapped inside me.

YOU WILL MOVE!

And it did. Now I understand that I need to will it to happen. My will is my instrument. Hm... that must be something from the Sith code.

And now I can move this quill. Good, good! Let the magic flow through me!


After another hour of moving different things around with my magic, which aura is purplish-red, I am now resting, looking out of the window. It has been a very long day, but I'm feeling fresh. It has to do something with being an alicorn, I suppose.

There are a few ponies outside. Most are sleeping because they were up all night. And I think I understand them.

Well, I have no internet to keep me entertained, what can I do? Listen to music, of course!

Pulling out the smartphone out of my pocket, I decide that I will listen to Powerwolf's album Bible of the Beast. It goes on for about an hour or so, and it sure will help me relax.

Suddenly, Pinkie Pie appears.

"Hi, Flamey!" she spoke to me. Oh great, now I have a nickname that has to do something with flamethrowers and a certain gas-masked, crazy, possibly drugged mercenary. "What are you listening to?"

"Metal."

"Metal? Why would anyone listen to a part of your name?"

"Part of my name? It's a genre of music!"

"It is? I've never heard of it."

"WHAT?! I will fix this right now!"


I shouldn’t have. Now Pinkie Pie is dancing around with my headphones on, loudly singing the lyrics of Raise your Fist, Evangelist. I don't know how she understands the Latin part, though.

And I made sure that I didn't show her the song Resurrection by Erection. The lyrics are... morally questionable. I think I should've deleted that song, but without it the album won't be complete. Besides, now I don't have anywhere to get songs from. Better save everything I still have.

"Whoooo, it's great, this metal of yours!" she said, taking off the headphones and handing me them along with my smartphone. "I've never heard anything like this before, but it's super great and powerful! I didn't get some of the lyrics, but I will find out what they mean anyway! Oooh, the rhythm of songs! And I think I fell in love with the vocal pony! He has such a voice!"

Sadly for her, he is not a pony and is from another world. I don't know whether he likes ponies or not, though. Could very well be that he would like them. Perhaps. I don't know Attila Dorn personally, so how would I know?

Putting the electronics into my pocket, I ask Pinkie Pie: "Hey Pinkie, where’s the bathroom?"

"Third door on the right!"


I locked myself in the bathroom. Finally, I am able to take off my hoodie. I stretched my wings, feeling them itch a little from the time they spent covered by my hoodie.

Wait, how did I move them at all? Huh. I guess that comes naturally.

Sniffing my hoodie, I came to a conclusion that it is still fresh to wear. Well, good for me, I suppose. I don't think that revealing myself is a very smart idea. It will sure draw attention to me, and I don't really want it.

Getting inside a large bathtub, I used my magic to turn on the water and adjust its temperature. It is really easy now when I know how to move things around. Turning them is, in fact, much easier.

Whoa, I've never thought that water can feel so~ go~od. It’s just right!

Well, time to clean up after my adventures. What a crazy day...


After getting out of the bathtub, I dry myself with a random towel.

There is a mirror on the wall, and I look at it. Well, my ha— mane's messy and much longer than I'm used to, but it's okay. I always wanted to grow metal-hair.

And I've never really thought that my dark-green eyes would turn into these pink-purple ones. They're much bigger as well. I wonder just how big is my brain when eyes take up the most room in my head?

Opening my mouth, I see that my teeth are that of an omnivore. Isn't a pony supposed to be a herbivore? Or are my teeth like that because of my alicorn nature? Also, they are similar to human teeth, maybe just a little bigger, and there's more of them, especially molars.

Whatever, I’m still able to eat tasty meat! I’ll just have to not tell anyone about it, I suppose. I mustn’t make anyone think that I'm a part carnivore.

Putting on my hoodie, I exited the bathroom, only to meet a certain hyperactive pink mare.

She quickly passed me, closing the door behind herself. I guess she wanted to use the bathroom as well.

Whatever, I trotted back to the room I'm now living in. Well, I think I can sleep 'till the next day comes.
