Prologue (Chapter 1)

Rainbow Dash sighed as she flew slowly through the clouds, her back on top of the fluffy, cotton candy-like texture, her wings beating at a steady pace. She did a back-stroke motion, as if she were swimming. She looked up at the blue, blue sky that Celestia was able to conjure up so easily with her magic. Rainbow Dash sighed once again, not caring that she had sighed twice in the same minute. She didn't know that there could be such a thing as a perfect morning. However, her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a masculine voice calling her name. It sounded like Spike.

Rainbow rolled her eyes in frustration, hating it when somepony (er... some DRAGON in this case...) interrupted her flying. She rolled over, laying on the cloud on her stomach, facing the little baby dragon, who she had to admit was really adorably with his little short, chubby body.

"What is it, Spike?" She asked in her slightly-scratchy voice with more attitude than she intended.

"Twilight wants to see you!" He called, urgently. "And the others, too!" Rainbow groaned in her head as she flapped her wings and zoomed through the cloud, down beside the waiting dragon.

"What could possibly be so important that it has to interrupt my FLYING?" Rainbow Dash asked, annoyed as she positioned her mane on her face the exact way that made her look wicked-cool. They walked through central Ponyville with Spike on Rainbow's back as they talked.

"Well, Twilight learned a really cool new spell, and she thinks that everypony will be impressed with it!" He boasted. Rainbow scoffed.

"And this needed to interrupt my cloud-swimming because....?" Rainbow asked, as if there was more to the story. Spike stumbled upon words until they ere interrupted with a familiar pink, poofy mare.

"Oh my gosh! Hey Dashie!" Said Pinkie in her energetic voice that always made Rainbow want to get up and do something... energetic.

"Oh, hey Pinkie Pie." Rainbow replied. "What's up?"

"I'm going to go get some more sugar and flour, because Sugar Cube Corner is all out of Flour and if we're all out of Flour we can't make cupcakes and if we can't make cupcakes..." Pinkie stopped her own sentence and bit her lower lip nervously, her eye pupils shrinking to the size of pins. Rainbow stopped and watched her fall to the dirt road, covering her head in anguish. "Oooh, I can't even IMAGINE a world so terrible without cupcakes!!" She moaned. She then quicly got up and started walking with Rainbow once more, who was now trying to hide her giggles. "Where are YOU off to?

"We're going back to the library. Twilight's got a new trick!" Spike boasted. Again. Pinkie did her out-of-the-ordinary gasp that she always did while hovering in mid-air.

"Oh my gosh, so am I!!" She squealed. Rainbow and Spike looked at each other, confused.

"Wait, didn't you just say you were off to get more flour?" Rainbow asked Pinkie in surprise.

"Why would I do that?" Pinkie giggle-snorted. "We've got PLENTY of flour!" Pinkie giggled as she trottd ahead of Rainbow, who had stopped dead in her tracks, sharing a confused look with Spike. Rainbow raised an eyebrow at Spike. who shrugged in response, and just continued trotting forward.

When they arrived at the library, everypony was already gathered in the main room, all except for a certain lavendar-coated mare who started this entire gig in the first place. Rainbow trotted over to the circle of talking ponies to join them in the conversation.

"Well I, for one, find fashion very suitable for a date, if one were to GET date." Rarity said, obviously annoyed. Rainbow looked from pony to pony, discovering that there was an argument going on.

"Well ah don't NEED no date! Ah'mm fine with the way things er goin'!" Applejack responded in her southern twang. Rainbow and the others didn't dare say a word until it was necessary to break up the argument. "Besides, Ah don't got time for no datin'! Applebuck season's over, and we gotta git our apples tuh gether so we can start sellin' before the pegasi start bringin' in the winter!" Applejack turn to Rainbow for approval. Rainbow paused and put her hoof to her chin, in thought.

"Actually, I think we bring in snow next Tuesday." Rainbow replied slowly. Applejack's pupils shrank to the size of pins as she gasped.

"We better get crackin' then!" She practically cried. "Twi, can we speed this up? Ah gotta git home so ah can help out mah family!" Just then, hoof steps filled the room and all the ponies turned to see Twilight Sparkle walking out of another room, where they assumed she'd been studying. Twilight was levitating a book using a levitation spell with her horn, reading a few words before closing it once more.

"Okay, I've got it memorized." Twilight said, trotting over to the circle of friends. "Thank you all for coming!" She smiled. The other ponies nodded and said other responses such as "no problem!" and "of course!".

"So, what kind of spell is this, exactly?" Rainbow Dash asked, messing with her mane.

"I've discovered a very powerful spell that not even TRIXIE could accomplish!" Twilight replied. The other ponies looked at each other, confused.

"Um, I don't mean to sound rude... but, um... it's not really saying much..." Fluttershy said in her soft, tender voice. The other ponies snickered at Fluttershy's words, and even Fluttershy giggled a little. Twilight rolled her eyes playfully and held up her hoof as if to say "quiet down, please".

"Anyway, it's a spell that allows creatures from a different dimension to enter our world!" Twilight said, her eyes twinkling from anticipation. The other ponies made excited murmurs to each other, until they all realized they had no clue what she was talking about.

"What a dimension?" Fluttershy asked. The others nodded in agreement. Twilight did a mental face-hoof. She sometimes hated being what others referred to as "a genius".

"It's similar to a different world, a place that you couldn't travel to by hot air balloon or by carriage." Twilight pressed, trying not to add a snarky tone.

Rainbow leapt into the air, doing a front flip with assistance form her wings.

"Let's do it!" She cried, excitedly. The others cheered in agreement. Twilight held up her hoof once more.

"Wait! I forgot to tell you all;" She quickly added. "This spell is very powerful, because however many ponies join in the spell, that many will appear before us and live in our world for what is in their world, one year.

"So, how long is that here?" Rarity asked. Twilight put her hoof to her chin, thinking.

"I think roughly a few days? Maybe?" Twilight replied, even questioning herself. "I don't know exactly, but it sounds like form what the spell tells me that it would be roughly a few days." Twilight said again, slightly more solid with her knowledge. "Now for this spell to work, we need to stand in a circle with me in the center for it to work." Twilight pressed.

The ponies shifted themselves so they were all in a perfect circle, with Twilight standing squarely in the middle.

"Everypony ready?" Twilight asked, lighting up her horn. The others nodded.

Twilight closed her eyes, and everypony else did as well, all simultaneously. A wind seemed to blow in a circle, almost similar to a twister. The ponies' manes and tails blew in the harsh wind, their eyes still tightly closed, focusing on their friend's magic spell.

Twilight could feel her head starting to hurt from the magic, and she focused even harder, knowing that if she allowed herself to give up, the spell would never work. She could feel her horn spurting out light, and felt her starting to lift off of the floor. The other ponies noticed this as well, and it startled them at first, but went back to focusing on their friend's spell. Twilight could feel their concentration, even though it still was slightly difficult. She whispered the words in her mind. Whispered the name of the spell, and thought of the creatures that she would get to meet. It excited her, and suddenly, a huge ball of light surrounded the friends, and they all hovered inside a bright, white bubble of lavender-colored light. Each pony shimmered and sparkled, their bodies and manes covered in a glitter, the magic spell finding out how many ponies exactly were there. At least Twilight thought that was what was happening.

All of a sudden, each pony felt an exhilarating feeling, like something just happened that they had been anticipating for years. Each pony felt jittery and excited as the bubble shrank a little, then burst out, creating a large explosion.The powerful magic's explosion lasted for about five seconds. That's all anypony remembered of that moment, because they all blacked out directly afterwards.

II

Twilight felt her consciousness slowly return, unable to remember what just happened. She tried thinking back to when her friends came over, and then realized what she had just done. She smiled, excited to meet the new creatures that had just arrived in their world. Until she heard birds chirping and sounds of nature. She felt a cool, realxing breeze blow through, and her mane fell in front of her face. She was lying sideways on a grassy terrain, she could tell that much. She kept her eyes closed, too relaxed to get up. She wanted to keep sleeping. Until she felt her joints and body aching all over. Twilight moaned slightly as she turned. She felt really strange... Like she was taller or something. Twilight ignored it, however, and moved her hoof through the soft, plush grass calmly. Until she realized that it wasn't a hoof.

She opened her eyes quickly, and sat up, only to fall back on the grass, face up this time. She saw, now, that she was in a forest. She then saw that her nose looked different, as well. It looked longer and... not purple... She very slowly lifted her fore-leg, which seemed in a weird place, up to her eyes so she could see. Her skin was tan. Twilgiht started breathing quickly as she turned onto all fours, seeing a little pond that was off to her side. She crawled quickly and peered inside. She face was tan, her eyes were purple and she had weird lips and nose that weren't connected by a muzzle. Her ears were on the side of her head instead of on top. Twilgiht started panicking, not caring that her mane had stayed intact. Suddenly, she could withold her anxiety. Her horn was gone.

Twilight screamed louder than she had ever screamed before, and suddenly the others jolted up, them realizing as well how much pain they were in. The all looked at Twilight's deformed, tan, slender body in horror, and Flutterhsy screamed as well. They all turned to her, and screamed in response, watching her feel herself up her fore-legs and stomach quickly and panicky, as well as face and hair. Her hair was exactly the same as well, but it seemed to have less shape. It seemed to droop a little more, and it reached down to the beginning of her thighs. They all then turned to themselves, to see they had changed as well. Rarity was especially screaming in horror, to find two large, round... things on her chest. They were the same color as her skin, except they had little...brown... THINGS on the end... Rarity fainted, and felt that her hair wasn't curled like back in Ponyville.

Rainbow looked at her body with confusion, and even felt herself get a little bit of anxiety. She also had the round thigns, except hers weren't the size of Cantelopes like Rarity's were. Rainbow pulled her hair infront of her eyes, happy to find that it was still awesome. When she felt up her back, she realized something horrible, and she too started screaming along wiht the others.

"MY WINGS!!!" She screamed, turning her head to get a better view. She then burst into hysterics, breathing heavily the same way she did in the Best Young Flyer's Competition. No. Wings. How could she live without her wings!?!?!?!

Fluttershy cried out in alarm. "AHH! Mine are gone too!"

Rarity sat up from her daze and felt her forehead, hoping that her horn would still be there. However, it wasn't. Rarity starting sobbing.

"My horn!!"

"YOU'RE horn?! What about MY horn?!" Twilight turned to Rarity, her face red and puffy from crying and screaming. Rarity looked down at her chest once more, and then looked at Twilight, who's were about the same size as Rainbow's.

"No fair, Twilight! Why are yours smaller!" Rarity whined, gesturing to her chest. "These hurt my back!" Pinkie squealed happily.

"Woah, I'm an alien!" She cried. She turned to Rarity, and started pouting. "No fair! Why are yours bigger?! I want some too!" She looked down at her chest, which was as flat as a table.

Applejack looked at her own chest as well, which was also about the same size as Twilight and Rainbow's. Applejack turned to Flutteshy, who was huddled in a little ball, quivering from the look of herself. Applejack tried her best to stand, and felt herself wobbly. She regain her balance, and used her hands to wave around and keep balance if she were to start wobbling.

"EVERYPO- er, ah mean, EVERYBODY LISTEN UP!!" Applejack yelled to get everyone's attention. The screaming and crying was making her head hurt. Everyone stopped screaming and crying, even Fluttershy looked up from behind her pastel-pink hair. "It's clear we ain't ponies, so ah think we should all git together an' settle down." Applejack said. Rainbow stood up, quickly adapting to the new body structure. She lifted her arm and pointed at Applejack accusingly.

"You're just not freaking out because you didn't have to lose anything!" She cried, her rose-colored eyes tearing up. Applejack and Pinkie Pie looked at her with confusion.

"Whaddya mean, Dashie?" Pinkie asked, slightly hurt.

"I mean you're earth ponies! Or, you were, so you didn't have to wake up to find you lost something really important you'd lived with for years!!" Rainbow cried, her voice slightly hoarse. Applejack stepped in front of a quivering Pinkie protectively.

"Rainbow, calm down!" Applejack cried. Pinkie looked from behind Applejack's wide hips at Rainbow Dash, who looked slightly guilty. Rainbow lowered her arm and sat down, messing with her hair again.

"Sorry, it's just..." Rainbow wiped tears from her face, embarrassed. Rarity patted Rainbow's shoulder, and nodded, knowing her pain.

Then Twilight stood, finally calmed down and used to her new, deformed body.

"Everyone, I think I know what happened." All her friends turned to her, hoping she could shine some light on what had happened. "It appears that I must have read the spell wrong; I used a spell that made US the weird creatures..." She shuddered, unable to believe that she read a spell wrong. The last time she did that was in magic kindergarten...

Fluttershy looked up, now sitting with her legs folded around the side of her hips.

"I don't understand..." She said quietly. "How are we going to get back, then, if you don't have your horn?" Twilight then realized that her shy friend was right; she lost her horn, so now there was no way of using magic to get back to Ponyville. The friends all murmured, their voices echoing through the quiet, empty woods. Twilight sighed and looked back up at her friends.

"Fluttershy's right. We'll just have to wait until the spell wears off and we are sent back home." Twilight stated in a grim voice. The others started looking down at the grass, sadly. Pinkie even seemed sad, which was rare.

They all sat quietly in the little grove, with only the sound of birds and the rustling leaves from the wind filing their eardrums.

Until they heard footsteps.
