My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Of Ponies and Humans

Chapter 7

The Aftermath

Zero Hour

(edit: okay. a lot of people have been reacting to this so i'm just gonna say it. they have been turned full human; nothing pony like is left except for horns and wings. that's it.)

Requiem groaned as she woke up, facedown on the floor. “oh man.” she groaned. She looked up at the window to see light peeking in. “must’ve been out cold all night. That must’ve been one powerful spell Trixie cast.”

Req picked herself up from the ground. The library was a complete mess with books all over the place. She was gonna see if everyone was still alive but she heard groaning so it was all good.

“wonder if that spell effected met in some way?” she wondered. She quickly found herself in front of the nearest mirror. “hair, check. Hands, check. Hot bod that would make woman fawn over me, check. Guess I’m all here.”

Req scratched her forehead, wondering what happened, when she saw someone getting up in the reflection of the mirror. “pony alive, that smarts.” Zilver groaned.

“tell me about it, Zi---” Req’s face immediately went red when she saw Zil.

“you okay, Req?”

Req quickly looked away and covered her eyes. “un, yeah. Yeah.”

“you okay?”

“I should, um… I should be asking you that question.” Req asked in a fluster. Zil wondered what she was talking about but didn’t have to wonder long. Req rolled the mirror over and put it in front of him. What he saw shocked him.

Zilver… was human, and buck naked at that. His Cutie Mark was located behind on his right shoulder.

“What the!?” Zilver quickly looked himself over. He had feet, hands, no tail, and something daggling off of him. “what is this? What’s going on?”

“how should I know!? Req exclaimed.

Twilight was the next one up. “hit the alarm, please shiny? I don‘t wanna go outside today.” Twilight sleepily asked. She noticed the human Zilver and screamed. She noticed the hands and screamed again.

All that screaming woke Halo and Trixie up. They noticed Twi & Zil and screamed. They looked at each other and screamed.

“What is this?”

“What’s going on?”

“What happened?”

“QUIET!” Requiem yelled, shutting them up. “one thing at a time.” she softly said. “now, anyone have a question?” All 4 of them started talking at once. “AHH!!” Req groaned. “quiet!” they all shut up again. “1... At a time…” she teethed. “Twilight first.”

“yeah. Um… what are these things hanging off of me?” she asked, pointing down at the um… un… you-know-whats. “they’re all wiggly and squishy.”

“yeah, and they’re pushing my chest down.” Trixie groaned, cracking her back. “what are these?”

“Something that would be considered men-magnets on Earth and something you should cover up right now.” Req said. She grabbed a curtain, ripped it up, and tied it around Twilight’s and Trixie’s chest and… lower area. She winced when she got to Halo and Zilver. “un… cover yourselves up.” she handed them the rest of the curtain, which they looked at in confusion.

“What the hay is going on, Requiem? Why are we… you?” Twilight asked, looking herself over again.

“I don’t know. I just woke up and there you all were, letting your business hang loose. Literally.” Req explained. “besides, not all of you are human.” she said, tapping Twilight’s horn.

Halo couldn‘t help but to try and think of how. “but what could’ve…”

At the same time, they all thought back to last night… and Trixie casting that spell. Everyone looked at Trix with intent to kill. “What?” she innocently asked.

“what spell did you use?” Twilight sternly asked.

Trix got nervous as she started sweating up a storm. “what spell? Why does it have to be a spell? It could’ve been--”

“What spell!” Twi asked again, raising in volume.

Req picked up the book Trixie used last night. She turned it upside down and started flipping though the book. She found the page, recognizing the up-side down pictures. “This spell.” she showed the book to Twi.

She grabbed it and looked it over. Unlike Trixie, she was able to read the old language. She slammed her head into it and groaned like a dog. “you used the trans-humanation spell?”

“the what?” Everyone asked.

“it’s a spell that hasn’t been cast since Discord’s days. It turns any pony into a human, and vice-verse. But, since we interrupted Trixie, guess it only worked at half strength seeing as how we Unicorns still have horns which leads me to assume that the Pegasi must still have their wings. And why Requiem is still human herself.”

“it does what?” Trixie asked, not believe a single word. “It was supposed to turn me into a-- a…” Trixie quickly shut up, trying not to explain what caused all this.

“into a Stallion? Spike explained everything to us.” a angry Halo asked.

“why would you wanna turn yourself into a stallion?” Zilver asked.

Twi slammed the book shut. “so she can be with me.” she angrily said, answering Zilver’s question for Trix.

“beg pardon?” Req asked.

“due to me putting Trixie down, her heart-broken mind came up with the idea to try and turn herself into a Stallion so she can be with me and try to take me away from Halo.”

“who you aren’t dating!” Trixie interrupted. “and I know that will never happened since he is always unable to start a relationship.” Halo silently sighed as he looked away. “but I thought it was the spell.”

“there’s no spell that can change the sex of a pony. After reading all these books multiple times, I can tell you that I ain’t just saying it, it’s fact.” Twi scolded. Trixie got a hurtful look as Halo‘s and Zilver‘s eyes darted left and right. “Am I really that important to you?” Twilight asked. A uncomfortable silence fell on them all. Trixie looked away from Twi, not bearing to look at her “I see.”

Req groaned as she pinched the bridge between her eyes. “okay. To sum up, Trixie cast a spell to turn herself into a stallion but instead turned Everypony into human?”

“yep. But we don’t know how far the spell had spread. It could’ve just affected everyone in this library.” Zilver pointed out.

Aura lightly snored in a comedic matter.

“WHAT IN TARNATION!!!” Applejack exclaimed at the top of her lungs. That outcry frightened Aura into falling out of bed.

“ow.” he just said. He got up and rubbed his head.

Someone opened his door and she was angry. “what in tarnation happened here, Aura?” Applejack asked.

Aura looked to see a buck-naked human A.J. looking at him, anger present in her eyes.

Aura couldn‘t help but move his eyes down. “a-ba-da-da-dabada-ab-b-b-b-b.” Aura shook his head and slapped himself in the face. “well, first, cover those things up!” he said, pointing to both extremities.

“AH!!” Applebloom yelled.

“Enter victim number 2.”

Applebloom walked in and like her sister, she was human and naked. This time, Aura was prepared with a blanket at the doorway.

“Aura, what the hey is going on?” A.J. asked.

“how should I know? I’m as surprised as you are.” Aura exclaimed. Big Mac walked in and joined his sisters. “OH! Wow. Nobody wants to see that, Big Mac.” Aura exclaimed, covering his eyes. “Though you’re surprising well endowed.”

Big Mac looked down in confusion as A.J. passed him a pillow, not even telling him why.

“Where’s my walking stick!?” Granny Smith asked from down the hall.

Aura squealed in fear as he stiffened. He quickly grabbed a sheet. “Nobody wants to see a naked Grandma!” he exclaimed in fear as he ran down the hall, leaving A.J., A.B., and Big Mac behind in confusion.

“GYAH!!!” Dash yelled as she looked herself over. “WHAT IS THIS!?!”

Satoshi turned away, not wanting to look for 2 reasons. 1: Because he was gay. And 2: he knew better then to look at a woman’s… indecency, especially if someone has a pancake chest. He remembered what happened when you make a comment to someone’s lack of… well, you know. He’s still feeling the effects of Lina’s Dragon Slave.

“WOW! This is so new and exciting!” Pinkie happily exclaimed, jumping up and down like she always does.

“you may need to cut back on the jumping, Pinkie.” Sora said.

“Why?” Sora pointed to both extremities hanging off of her. “What? These things? They can’t be that bad. I mean, they’re all squishy and as everyone knows, squishy things are fun.”

Sora didn’t even try to comment. With Pinkie, a argument is irrelevant. “just put some clothes on.” she groaned.

“I must say, this is… unexpected.” Rarity said as she looked herself over.

“I’ll say.” Ash said, her back to her as she didn’t want to see her… indecency. “you will cover yourself up, right?”

“huh? Oh, yes yes. Not sure why, though.”

“it’s a long story and can you just do it, please?” Ash asked.

“Fine fine.” Rarity said as she walked over to her supplies. “still not sure what the big deal is, anyhow.” she muttered.

“EEK!” Fluttershy shrieked from below, getting attention of Bahamut and still injured Mirror’s Edge, who still looks like a Changeling.

“Fluttershy! You okay?” Bahamut called.

Footsteps came up from below up towards them. When Fluttershy reached the top, the 2 couldn’t help but yelp. “Whoa!” Bahamut exclaimed in surprise.

“what happened to you?” Edge asked.

“I’m not sure.” a naked human Fluttershy said, covering up the good parts. “all I know is that when I woke up, I found myself looking like Requiem or Sora. What happened?”

“I don’t know. Except I know it didn’t effect me.” Edge said.

“And me.” Bahamut added.

He broke character, pulled out a remote, and paused the story for a moment. “Quick question.” he asked the audience. “in every story I’ve seen, why do the shy ones always get the big bazangas?” Bahamut asked. He unpaused the story and fell back into character.

“What do I do?” F.S. asked.

“well, for starters, get some clothes and cover those things up.” Bahamut explained, pointing at both chest and waist. “Secondly, we should find out what the heck is going on in town. Maybe you’re not the only one effected by… whatever this is.”

Bahamut flew on downstairs to try and find some clothes for F.S. “wait. How does she know to walk with 2 legs?” he muttered to himself.

Jax snored up a storm while having a very pleasant dream. “oh, Ash. You do know how to make a girl happy.” she happily said in her dream-like state.

Dinky ran in to try and shake her awake. “Jax! Jax, wake up!”

“oh, Ash. You’re so kinky.” Jax cooed.

“JAX!” Dinky yelled.

Jax forced open her eyes and growled like a lion as she got up. “what is it, you--” she immediately noticed that Dinky wasn’t a pony anymore. “Dinky? What happened to you?”

“I was hoping you could tell me. I woke up looking like you.”

Jax looked Dinky over. “is it just you?”

“nope. We’re also affected.” Dr. Whooves said, standing at the doorway with Derpy, Sparkler, and Carrot Top. Unlike Everypony else in Ponyville, these 5 all had clothes on, at Whooves persistence. “you have something to do with this, Jacqueline?”

“no. duh. What makes you think I can transform ponies into humans? If I could, I would’ve done it long ago.”

“well, I can’t go outside looking like a human. Everypony else will laugh at me.” Sparkler whined.

They all heard clamoring coming from outside. Jax pulled back the shades and looked out. “I don’t think you have to worry about that, Sparks.” she said, gesturing everyone to the window. They all looked outside to see that every pony in Ponyville had somehow transformed into humans… and they all weren’t wearing any clothes.

“think Rarity’s is open?”

“…But we don’t know how far the spell had spread. It could’ve just affected everyone in this library.”

Everyone in the library heard the clamoring outside just as Zilver finished pointing out the variables. “I could sense that coming… just as I was saying it.” Zil said.

“guess it affected all of Ponyville.” Req muttered as she put her own clothes back on. “think the mayor will call a meeting?”

“She’s gotta. I mean, nothing like this has happened before.” a stunned Twilight said.

Groaning came from beneath a book pile but nobody knew which one. Req tripped on something and almost fell. She recovered and looked down to see a foot sticking out of a pile. She stepped on it and a human Spike came up like a rake.

“5 more minutes, mommy.” a dazed Spike said before falling back into the pile.

Everypony- er… everyone, gathered in front of Town Hall, all demanding answers to what had happened. The original humans were walking though the crowd, covering everyone’s shame with cloth, ripped curtains… anything really while Req, Twi, and Spike joined the mayor on the podium.

“Calm down, every pony. I’m sure there’s a reasonable explanation for all of this.” the Mayor proclaimed nervously.

“for what? Us turning into… them?” Octi asked, gesturing to the nearby Ash.

“believe it or not, there is.” Twilight said, taking the mayor’s spot. “this was the result of a spell a VERY idiotic unicorn cast.”

“which unicorn?” Everyone asked in unison.

Trixie nervously blushed and bleated sheepishly as she slowly back away from the crowd.

“I’d rather not say, lest she wishes to bring a mob down on her.” Twi instead explained.

“Well, what spell was it?” Lyra asked all hopeful. Everyone turned to her, some giving a ‘WTF’ stare. “y-you know. So no one can use it again.” she sheepishly said.

“it was a spell that hasn’t been used in Equestria since Discord’s days in control. Basically, it turns Ponies into humans and humans into ponies, and…”

“Well, if that’s true, then why aren’t Requiem and her friends affected?” Bonbon asked.

“our guess is that the spell was at half-strength when it fired, which also explains why you all still have horns or wings and probably why you can walk, despite having 2 feet.”

“I knew it had something to do with that.” Bahamut muttered.

“Okay, well that explains that, but was Ponyville the only place affected by this… spell?” Raindrops asked.

“We don’t know. We’ve yet to hear back from Celestia about this whole thing and--”

Spike gagged and held his mouth. “That’s different.” he groaned, patting his chest. He gagged again and burped up a letter in green fire.

The letter hit Twi’s head and landed right in her hands. “Guess something’s never change.” Twi chuckled as she opened the letter.

“What’s it say?” Sweetie Belle asked.

“It’s from Celestia. She says that a unknown decease has spread though Canterlot, turning Everypony, including her and Luna, into human. She also received word from other cities, all complaining about the same thing, but the Gryphon Kingdom, the Dragon Lands, and the Crystal Pony Republic only reported seeing a blinding shockwave of green light at night.” Twi closed the letter. “Guess the spell effected Equestria only. Probably wasn’t strong enough.”

“Well, now what?” a irritated Tiara asked.

“Try to coup with it, I guess.” Requiem said. “like Twi said, this spell hasn’t been used in 3 Millennia. Lord knows if there’s a reversal spell.” Everypony in the crowd groaned and complained.

“that being said, we have to talk about this little clothing situation. You all can’t walk around naked with your business hanging out. That may have worked when you were ponies but you’re humans now, and we humans don’t let our… eh… stuffs hang out for people to see.”

“you don’t? I don’t see what the big problem is. They don’t seem that bad.” Vinyl said, looking down at her.

“just trust us on this, okay?” Req pleaded. “That being said, we have some spare clothes back in Orion that you all can borrow and I’m sure Rarity made us some spares, just in case. Am I right, Rare?”

“That you are.” Rarity replied with a smile.

“and that means the rest will have to be made. Guess you’re gonna be working overtime, Rarity.”

“So what, we gotta wear these scraps until clothes can be made?” a irritated Filthy Rich asked.

“for now, yes.” Twi said. “I’m sure Rarity will accept some help in this regard. But, for now, we better coop with this. We may be stuck this way for awhile.”

The crowd grumbled as they dispersed to go along with this mess.

Twi, Spike, Req walked down from the stage only to get swarmed by the other Mane6 and Humans. “Tell us, guys. Who cast the spell?” Dash asked, flying as if nothing had happened.

“I’m not sure we should tell you.” Req said.

“I am.” a angry Twilight said. “I’ve give you one ‘Great and Powerful’ guess.”

That hint was all they needed. “Trixie!?”

“yep. This was all her fault.”

“but why would she do something like this? As a mean joke?” Pinkie asked.

“no. she… she… ugh, it’s a long story and I don’t wanna explain it. I’ll let Req or Halo or Zilver explain it. Now, I need to find a reversal spell. Come on, Spike.” Twi walked off. Spike followed not far behind.

Everyone turned their attention to Requiem. “un… Hehehe. Well… oh, how do I explain this…?”

Twi and Spike walked on back to the library, passing by several angry pony-humans along the way. “Spike. Take a letter. I want to get word to Celestia that I’m gonna look for a reversal spell and that if she, Luna, or even Cadence have any leads, they should let me know.”

“un… don’t have a pen and paper.” Spike shrugged.

“Well, write it down when we get back. And also tell them to order the local boutiques to start making human clothes. No knowing how long this is going to take.”

“I think they’ll be doing it regardless.” Spike muttered.
