Load Full Story Next ChapterSomewhere in The United Kingdom was a town called Romsey, in this town was a family of six. There were Beth and John the Parents, their oldest son Joe, their two daughters Rebecca and Kerry, and their youngest son Sam. Joe was the oldest at the age of 22, Rebecca and Kerry where born at the same time so they were both 16 and Sam was the youngest at the age of 10.
Beth and John met during their final year of college. They hit it off, fell in love, and got married. A few years after their marriage, they had their children. They loved their children very dearly and always spent time with them. Until Joe went off to university and Rebecca and Kerry off to college leaving them with Sam.
Then one day, when Sam was nine years old, John passed away after he had grown sick. Before he passed away he gave his youngest son an early birthday gift; it was a custom-made toy Omnitrix. After that is was only Sam and Beth in their house.
Over the months, Sam promised to stay by his mother’s side until the day she would join John. Beth could only hug her son for that statement. However that would closer than they thought. Then one day, Beth read on the news that a new disease was spreading around the world turning people into animals, it was hard to believe but it was true. The news reporter even had fox ears to prove it.
Then one day when Sam was ten years old, it happened.
Sam had woken up, got changed and went downstairs to have his breakfast. His mother was already down there reading the newspaper and drinking some tea. She looked up from the newspaper to see her son walk into the kitchen.
“Morning Honey”, Beth greeted her son, she stood up to fix him some breakfast.
“Morning mum”, Sam called back as he sat up at the table.
His mother soon brought out some toast for him.
“Thanks mum”, Sam said before eating a slice.
“Your very welcome Honey-ee Haw”, Beth replied before her face turned to one of complete horror. Sam didn’t notices this, but he did notice Beth run up the stairs to the bathroom and three seconds later scream. Sam quickly finished his toast and ran upstairs to see why his mother screamed.
He saw why, Beth had a pair of grey donkey ears on top of her head and a donkey tail swinging behind her. Sam was horrified and so scare, he fainted on the spot. A couple hours later was woken up by his mother uncontrollably braying like a donkey, he was scare of what was happening to his mother. He saw she was more donkey than human; she had the head, ears, tail and front hooves of a donkey.
“Mum,” he called out, despite having a donkey head, Sam could still see that she was scare.
“Sam… Honey-ee Haw, please help mee-haw”, Beth pleaded. Sam tried to look away, but he ran up to his scare mother.
Sam hugged Beth to tried to calm her down. She hugged him back as best she could. She turned to tried to talk to him.
“Sam, please-haw get you things and run”, She said tearing up. Her feet started changing into back hooves, “run to you siblings and hopefully they’re fine”.
“No mum!” Sam shouted with sadness “I said I would stay with you until it was your turn to kick the bucket”.
“Sam please,” Beth said as her feet finished and her body started to swell, “I will always be with you, in here”. She used a hoof to point to his heart. “Please, for me”.
With that, Sam slowly and tightly hugged his mother one more time. Soon Beth start to shift and got up.
“Mum?” Sam asked if there was any humanity left in her, but no. Beth was completely replaced with a jenny. Sam stood up and opened the door to let the donkey out.
After the donkey walked away from the house, Sam went upstairs with tears streaming down his face as he prepared to go the where his brother and sisters leaved. He packed some clothes in one suitcase and the other with valuable things. He packed his plushies and blanket he can’t sleep without, his drawing pad, some action figures, his glasses, and some pictures of him and his family. As this took longer than he thought, he decided to spend his last night in his home and go to live with his siblings. After having some lunch he decided to take a nap. Before closing his eyes, he made a wish.
“I wish I had a new home and a loving family that would take care of me”, he wished.
He closed his eyes with his suitcases in hand and fell asleep. Little did Sam know he wish was going to come true. While he slept, an orb of blue light appeared over his small form ‘You poor, poor child, you indeed are a broken soul. Worry not little one, for I shall grant your wish, and you shall have the true, caring love in which you seek’. Soon the young child’s body was enveloped in a gentle, calming blue aura, and slowly he started to fade away within the light.
Far away in the magical land of Equestria, the princess of the night Princess Luna stood outside on the balcony of Canterlot Castle and watched over the land with a warm smile on her face. She looked up at her sister’s sun with pride and admiration as she felt the wind caress her fur. Letting out a soft sigh, she was about to trot back into her bed chambers when her ears caught the sound of a child’s wish.
“I wish I had a new home and a loving family that would take care of me”.
Taking a few steps toward the rail of the balcony, she tilted her head to listen a little better, ‘Oh my, I can sense deep sadness in this young soul, but it isn’t a mind of Equestria’s it seems. It… sounds like it’s coming from a place that is unfamiliar to me. C’mon Luna concentrate’ She closed her eyes once more and listened carefully.
She listened to this child’s wish and looked through his memorises to see why he had asked for this wish. Luna was struck with sadness to see what she thought was the child’s mother slowly turn into a donkey and to see the sadness on his face. ‘Oh you poor, poor creature, you indeed are a broken soul. Worry not little one, for I shall grant your wish, and you shall have the true, caring love in which you seek’. Soon the young child’s body was enveloped in a gentle, calming blue aura, and slowly he started to fade away within the light.
Some time later Luna ran off to tell her sister about this. Princess Celestia had strode out to the balcony just outside her chambers and looked across the land that she and Luna ruled together. She had just walked out, when her sister burst through the doors. She had a worried expression on her face.
“Sister, I have some sad news”, Luna explained.
Celestia turned around to face Luna. Celestia placed a wing over her younger sister’s back in an attempt to calm her down. After a few minutes, Luna was calm enough to talk normally.
“What is it Luna?” Celestia replied with a worried look.
“I felt a child’s wish call out”, Luna said sadly, “the child wished for a loving family and home to take care of them, after I check their memorises to see why they have requested this. And…”
She struggled to finished as it was sad to speak of. Celestia brought Luna closer and nuzzled her head. Luna calmed down to speak again.
“And I saw the child’s mother slowly become an animal, it was so sad the watch it broke my heart”, she finished.
Celestia gasped slightly at hearing that. She wrapped her other with around Luna and let her softly cry into her fur.
“But that’s not the only thing I did,” Luna said a little bit later. The royal sisters got back on their hooves. “I granted his wish and brought him to Equestria.”
Celestia was even more surprised. Luna had brought a child from another world to Equestria with the kindness of her heart. Celestia turned to leave her chambers.
“Luna?” Celestia asked, “what have you done with this child?”
“I’ve put them in my chambers,” She responded.
Celestia nodded and the two sisters walked out Celestia’ room and down the Luna’s room.
A little while later, Sam had woken up in a moon-shaped bed. Last thing he remembered was that he had witness his own mother become a donkey, packing things up and taking a nap on his couch. Now he was in someone’s bedroom. The bedroom itself was beautiful and had a night-time feel to it. He looked around at the beautiful room, he noticed he suitcases were at the other end of the room. He walked slowly towards his bags and reached a hand inside to fish his glasses out. He then noticed the toy Omnitrix he wore, it seemed different, like it was real. But before he could play around with it, he heard footsteps coming closer to the door. He panicked and dove under the bed sheets again to hide.
He heard the door open and closes. But he was too scare to look up.
“They’re under here”, called a voice.
Sam started to shake in terror as he felt the bed sheets get taken off him, but he didn’t dare open his eyes.
“Oh my,” called another motherlier voice, “what a precious little child.”
Sam flinched a little bit when he felt something continuously brush against his side, which seemed to calm Sam down enough to slowly open his eyes. When he opened his eyes, he saw two enormous horse-like creatures standing in front of him. They were both about the height of his late parents, but a little taller than them, had wings on their backs, a horn on their heads, and each had a mane and tail that flowed through a non-existent breeze.
The white one to his left had pink eyes, its mane and tail were striped with pink, blue, purple, and green colours in a rainbow manner, a picture of an orange sun on its flank, gold shoes on all four of its hooves, a gold necklace with a purple gem in the centre, and a gold tiara on its head behind its horn.
The blue one to his right had blue eyes accented with light blue eye shadow, its mane and tail was dotted with countless stars and was joined with galaxies and nebulae, a black blotch with a white crescent moon on its flank, silver shoes on all four of its hooves, a black necklace with the same white crescent moon from its flank, and a black tiara behind its horn.
Sam’s eyes were wide at the sight before him, he thought they were beautiful. The blue one leaned its mouth towards the white one’s ears. He then heard hushed whispers coming from the blue one’s mouth into the white one’s ears. His eyes widened even more.
They were talking to each other. But he couldn’t hear every word, because his hearing was a little bad.
After they were done talking the white one bent her head down to meet his own.
“Excuse me little one,” she said with a warm smile, “could you please tell me your name?”
Sam was a shocked that she spoke English and nervously and calmly replied.
“My name is Sam, Sam Metters”.
“That’s a nice name, for a handsome young boy”, the blue one commented.
Sam chuckled at this. The two horse-like creatures seemed to be very friendly, caring and kind.
“Let me introduce myself,” the white one said, “I’m Princess Celestia, and this is my sister, Princess Luna.” Luna made a nodding jester to say yes.
Luna then notice Sam’s Omnitrix. “Sam, Dear,” She asked kindly, “I’m sensing a strong amount of energy coming from this device on your wrist, what is it may I ask?”
“Oh this,” Sam said looking at his Omnitrix, “this was a gift from my dad before he passed away”.
“Oh I’m sorry”, Celestia apologized.
“It’s ok”, Sam replied sadly.
“What does it do?” Luna asked again.
“It’s let me become one of ten creatures” Sam said as he got off the bed and activated it, “An example.”
Within a blinding flash of green Sam was replaced with a relatively small ceratopsian dinosaur-like creature, it stood the same size as Sam before but a bit taller. Both Princess’ were surprised and interested in this.
“AGIRA!” Sam roared in a slightly different and feminine voice.
“Well this is interesting,” Celestia said. As Agira did some poses making the two princess chuckle a bit.
Agira looked at the Princess’ and asked, “"Can you please help and take care of me?"
"Of course we will," Luna said. She wrapped a wing around her and gently pulled her closer for a hug. "Come with us. We'll give you a good home."
“Sam are you hungry?” Celestia asked.
“Yeah actually”, Agira said as she rubbed her stomach.
With that, the sisters led Sam, (still as Agira) out of Luna’s Chambers, to the royal dining room to give Sam something to eat.
