Next morning, as Bolten woke up, he felt the atmosphere is slightly different. He groggily tried to get up but he felt that he can't really feel his fingers. When realization hit him, his eyes shot up and took a good look at his surroundings.He found out that he's not in the same forest anymore. How does he know that? Well, the lake disappeared and all his friends seem to disappeared as well.
"What the...? That's weird..." Bolten said before looking down and found out that not only the surrounding has changed.
"WHAT THE FU-FUGDE?! WHAT HAPPENED TO ME?!" He has transform from an athletic boy into a four-legged pegasus. He has yellow skin, still keeping the hair and eyes but there's something new to him. He has two majestic wings from both sides of his body and he has a tattoo-like mark on his...butt? It looks like two lightning crossing each other.
"Am I still dreaming? This cannot be real," he panicked while he stood up and tried to run only to let out an 'oof' sound as his face landed on the ground.
"Darn. This is going to be hard." He needs to start practicing walking with four legs but before that,"PATRICK! TED! DANNY! LEAFY!" No responds. He felt really lonely in this mysterious forest but he can't give up now. He have to learn how to run in four legs so he could find his friends.
He started with a slow walk, slowly getting used to it. Then he started to jog or gallop slowly. After he get used to it, he will slowly pick up the pace and little by little he started to run or still gallop but faster...idk. However, he felt different when he run. He felt that he run much more faster than he ever was when he's still a boy. Not just that, he has been hearing some sizzling sound like electric when he started running. As he turn back, he noticed that there's a trail of lightning behind him as he run further and further.
"HOLY SUGAR HONEY ICED TEA! I'VE NEVER RUN THIS FAST BEFORE! THIS IS AMAZING!" he shouted loudly as he keep running.
During his running montage, he noticed two ponies up ahead, one red and one blue. The red one seems to have no wings as he/she was galloping quickly and the blue one is the one with wings since he/she is flying...duh. Slowly, he caught up with the two ponies and he noticed that the red one is a male and the blue one is a female. 'Huh...they must be racing each other' he thought as he zoomed past them like a shockwave.
He can still hear wings flapping behind him but he paid no attention to it as he need to look at the road. He dashed out of the forest to a clearing and eventually to a small town. Due his speed, he reached the small town in a flash. 'Maybe I should stop now' he warned himself before he crashed into anything. He braked and he felt his le-hoofs starting to burn from friction but he stopped before they caught on fire.
He panted heavily from all that running and he felt his muscles are burning up.
Before he could walk away, he heard someone...or some pony called him. "That was way cool! You don't even need your wings to catch up to me!" Bolten turned around only to feel confused. This pegasus (spotted her wings)
is different. She has blue skin and reddish pink eyes but the one thing he found amazing about her was her long rainbow colored hair...or mane? He finds her really beautiful. What? He mentally face palmed himself as he awkwardly laughed together with the strange pegasus.
"Hey! My name's Rainbow Dash but you can call me Dash. What's yours?" said Rainbow Dash. He couldn't believe his ears. She sounded like an angel despite having a tomboyish voice but Bolten still finds them beautiful. With a slight tint of pink on his face, he accidentally shouted, "I'm Bolten!" Due to his puberty, he can't really control his voice well. He felt bad for causing Rainbow Dash to cover up her ears. "Sorry Rainbow Dash," he said in an apologetic tone.
"It's okay" R.D. said while rubbing her ears. "So, Bolten huh? Pretty sweet name but it needs to be 20% cooler." "Haha...well I didn't give myself that name so you can't really judge," Bolten said while scratching the back of his head. "I know. I'm just kidding haha. Why so serious?" R.D. said in a joking tone. Bolten felt really awkward due to the fact that he doesn't really talked to girls even though he's quite popular for his talents. Normally he just waved to them or say "Hi" to them then after that he just walked off, but this is different.
Anyways, back to the story. Bolten explained his story to R.D. but she seems utterly confused by it. "So what you're trying to say is: you were going to your friend's lake with your other friends to find your friend but you ended up here and wondering where your other friends are?" R.D. said but it sounded like a rap. Bolten slowly nodded while keeping himself calm from any random outburst. 'I need to get out of here. I don't think I can hold it much longer' he thought nervously.
"Well, gotta run. Feeling bored here." he made up an excuse and quickly ran away faster than light itself. He heard R.D. called out to him but he ignored it and kept running. After running far enough, he hid behind a tree as he panted frantically and he felt his whole body heating up followed by blood flowing up his cheek, making him looked like a tomato.
