I woke up the next day with a raging hangover. My first real hangover, the last parties’ hangover felt like a dwarf compared to this one. I could barely open my eyes, for a few moments I thought I was having a migraine. When I woke up everything was clean and prim, seriously.

I managed to pick myself up, everything seemed normal, as if there had been no party. One thing was different, the windows and door were boarded up, and Mike was right next to me, using a levitating hammer to finish off fortifying the door.

"Mike, what are you doing?" I asked, trying to stay stable

"This is fucked up man, fucked up man' Mike said, murmuring in a quiet, hyper, and unnatural voice still nailing a plank to the door.

"Wait what is going on?" I asked,

"Mike nearly got rapped." Nico said walking in. "Poor bastard"

"Wait what...."

"Bro you don't remember?" asked Tyler, clutching my pistol.

"No I like blacked out..." I couldn't remember a thing after meeting Ace, it felt like the hangover the movie.

"Jesus christ you are lucky” Tyler said

"What-what happened?"

"Here let me tell you the whole story?" Nico sat down, Tyler stood next to the wall, constantly eyeing the pistol.

"So you remember the lavender pony with the rump?" Nico asked

"Twilight Sparkle, go on"

"Yea well Mike headed over to her house after you blacked out. We being usual went to go follow him, we saw more than we were bargaining for. Mike was about to be raped"

"Thank god you guys were there" Mike said, looking down at the floor "If you guys didn't save me you'd be done for."

"Getting raped?" I asked

"Yea, raped" Nico retorted

"And that is why we are all hiding in the house" Mike said "Dan is in Cloudsdale, Conor is getting supplies"

Before I could reply, there was a feint knocking on the door.

"Mike, honey are you there?" Came out Twilight Sparkle

"Get away from me!" Mike said

"Why? Please can we talk about this like ponies!" she pleaded

"Sure" Mike said, I also saw him gesture to Tyler to give him the gun.

"Michael" Twilight said "Are you going to shoot me if I open this door?"

"Just try!" I spoke up, and then I realized, Michael nailed down the planks from one side to the other, but not covering the hinges, dumbass.

I heard Twilight sigh "Fine" and without even using magic the door opened, Twilight was there with a scowl on her face.

"Don't come any closer!" Mike said pointing and waving the gun.

"Michael can we talk about this" Twilight pleaded again

"What did you exactly do?" I asked

"I tried to be patient, but Michael over here doesn't know what a clit looks like!"

"I was teasing!" Mike said protecting himself

"Bull crap!" Twilight said

I looked out the window for a time, listening to the 2 bicker for no good reason. Eventually I saw a flash through the sky and saw Dan's slow descent over Ponyville.

"Umm hey guys what is going on?" Dan said, trying to make something of the argument in front of him.

"I don't know why don't you ask the virgin" Mike said in a snide voice.

Twilight and Mike from there on out just began bickering back and forth; Dan didn't even bother to help out his friend and flew off subtly. I on the other hand wanted to talk to the Russian if he knew anything about some sort of a pony creator.

"Hey Russian" I asked, closing the door behind me to mute the altercation still raging.

"Wait what?" The Russian said "I was watching Twilight and Michael rant about stuff, what do you need?"

"I was curious, is there any way to change my appearance?" I asked "This isn't a sexual thing is it?" The Russian said in a groan

"No, no, no, no I want to be a pegasus." I said

"Hmmmmm" The scientist said "That would be easy with the right tools, which I have. But everypony would not connect the dots, they know your appearance and your name; it wouldn't work out.

I was about to succumb to sadness when the Russian replied quickly "There is one way though, remember those jewels that pony wanted you to find?"

I nodded

"Good, go find them and I think I can change the time space- know what you won't get it, just go find the jewels and I’ll turn you into a pegasus.

"Wait will everypony know it is me?" I questioned

"Nope, that is the thing about the elements-" He cut himself off

"What?"

"No-nothing" He said, "Go find the jewels; they were in the cave next to your friend Ayan's cave."

I gave a nod and headed back in.

"Alright, we are having a field trip." I said "Twilight Sparkle, MP, Neon, we are going for a walk"

***

"Okay we are finally here" I said, looking up into the sky to see the twisting citadel of a mountain.

"I've been here before" Twilight said, this surprised me in two ways. One, she wasn't arguing with Mike, and two because of her statement.

"Really? I asked

"Yea, me and my five friends went here to stop that dragon." Twilight said, I have no clue what the dragon thing was about, but im assume it was something memorable; it was after all a dragon.

"Okay so we need those jewels?" Mike asked

"Yea" I said "We did after all buy all that stuff, right?"

For a while we walked in complete silence, we scaled many dangerous cliffs, and had several close encounters. But before long we made it to the largest peak.

You had to admit the view was amazing, you could see for miles; Ponyville, the Everfree Forest and who knows what else could be seen.

"Okay, I believe this is the cave" Twilight said, examining the map

"Alright" We turned the corner heading into the mouth of the cave. It was far larger than Ayan's cave, massive boulders, stalagmites, stalactites; it was beautiful in a strange way. Speaking of Ayan, what happened to him?

"Okay, let’s get searching" Mike said

We all fanned out, searching the floor for the jewel. At first our search was hampered by a distinct lack of light but before long Twilight casted a magic spell to light up the cave.

"Hey, hey guys!" Tyler shouted out "I think I found it!"

We all looked over to what he was talking about, the jewel was an amazing It was blacker then any midnight, a purer hue then any color, and it had to be at leastly 30 karats.

The rock was also decorated around the sides with a white outline, it was... white gold. I examined it again, to make sure my eyes were not deceiving me.

I gave out a long whistle "Dam" It was eve hard to take your eyes off of it.

"Yea, Mike said, levitating the rock into Twilight's knapsack. Everyone began to head outside, when I finally spoke up.

"Hey guys do you mind if I have a moment....with the rock?" I asked, I felt like an idiot

"Ummmm, okay." Tyler said; every other pony left besides me.

"Russian" I murmured

"Yes? I see you have the rock" The rock was gone in the blink of an eye, he could do that?

"Wait, you can take stuff away?" I said, eyes the size of saucers.

"Yea, I love playing God." He said with a chuckle "So you want to be a pegasus?"

"Yea, just add wings, and one last thing." I asked "Can you make my body color dark green and turn Tyler's color to yellow?"

There was silence for a moment "Shouldn't you ask Tyler about this?" He questioned

"Nah he will be fine about it."

"Okay then, any last questions?" He said

"Yea 1" I asked, this had been the big question "Will any pony notice a difference in me?"

"Normally yes" He said "But thanks to the Comet Stone only your 5 friends will notice a difference"

Comet Stone?

"Okay, let a rip" I said, shutting my eyes shut. For a moment I didn't think he did anything, that was because he didn't, a second later I felt a sharp pain followed by feeling a wee bit heavier. I looked over to see a fine pair of wings and a few pounds heavier

"Enjoy" The Russian said, I heard him say in the background "Yuri, of those 7 assholes this kid is the only one I can trust." I couldn't help but laugh that he left his mic (Or whatever it is) on.

"Russian your mic is on." I said, he was talking to his friend Yuri mid-sentence when he cut it off, I turned around to see Tyler, yellow.

"Like the wings?" I smiled

"Dude what the fuck!" Tyler said livid "Why am I yellow!"

"Because I wanted to be dark green!" I said, with a wide grin

"We could have both been dark green!"

"NO WE COULDN'T!" I said in a sardonic voice

Tyler gave out a big exhale "Fine, we managed to keep our cool, let's get back now so we can freak out." Tyler said.

"Okay, does Twilight see it?" I asked

"No, she just noticed our facial expressions for the first second."

The way back was like the way forwards, Mike and Twilight continued to argue about this entire virgin fiasco and I couldn't help but stare at my wings. Not only did the new paint job and wings look cool, it opened up a whole new list of opportunities.

For me it was so exciting I couldn't help but smile. When we got to Ponyville Twilight went her separate way and we went ours.

When we got back we saw Ayan, Dan and Conor sitting there on the couch.

"Whoa Tyler nice wings!" Conor said

"No I'm Vespi" I laughed

"Yea, this asshole changed my color." Tyler said, leaving his hiding place behind Mike. Now I couldn't help but laugh at his color, it was gold, hilarious.

"Also we found this" I said, tossing out the giant jewel.

Something was different; the white border was now purple.

"That is, different" I said

"Why what's wrong? Ayan asked

"The border, it was white before, now it is purple." Mike said, answering Ayan's question for me

"Weird." I said "Also the Russian called this a Comet Stone, cool name huh?"

We all nodded, it wasn't a real nod; it was an empty headed nod. Everyone couldn't stop staring at that giant thing.

It had a strange feeling to it,

an alien feeling
