HELLO AND WELCOME ALL YE' OLD PEASENTS AND FORMAL TO THE FOURTH CHAPTER OF THY'S STORY! I have always wanted to talk like that! Ok, so this is chapter four. Who's ready to find out why Toxic became an alicorn and what she looks like? Great! Because here! We! Goooooooooo! Previously in the last chapter…
"Fan-freakin'-tastic, I forgot that I let all my inner emotions out for a few minutes."
"Curse her tender and comforting nature! And also bless it!"
"I hope you like it here, Celestia"
"I thought after last night you might want a change of clothing."
"Now how did she know my cup size? …never mind."
"Ok, does my hair look that bad? Nah I'm just joking! I knew it was because I was a human."
"Um… did I come at a bad time?"
"Now this here, my little ponies… and Discord."
"This is our new friend, Vanessa Anaya Lynbrook."
"You brought a foreign creature to Equestria!"
"You know I'm right here."
"And once again I'm guessing 'Discord' is the one who brought me here."
"Smarter than you look."
"Mmmm, good, but it could use a pinch of salt."
"Salt?"
"No. No! You said you wouldn't send me back!"
"Toxic please calm down! I'm not sending you back!"
"Our ponies are not ready for such a new species to wonder their home."
"But we need to know, would you consent to becoming a pony?"
"Pony-fy me princess of the sun."
"You- you…"
"I'm what? What?"
"Toxic, you are an alicorn."

Chapter 4: My name is Toxic Wastenote

(Vanessa's Pov)

"Whach' you talkin' bout' Celestia?" I said.

I looked at my new hooves. They were a neon green and so was my fur. "Um… can I get a mirror… or an explanation?"

Celestia shook her head and a full length mirror flashed in front of me.

I took in my new appearance. My eyes were red, like blood red, and my eyelashes had red tips to them. My fur was indeed neon green and I was still wearing my sweat bands on my front legs, and the bracelets on my back legs. My mane was black but with a yellow streak going through it and it was choppy and a little longer than my neck, and my tail matched my mane. My goggles were still strapped around my neck and now they seemed a lot bigger, but really I was just smaller. Hee hee… But they were right. I had a neon green horn that matched my fur sticking out of my mane, and wings…weirdly colored wings. The first layer of feathers were black and then red tips, then a layer of neon green feathers with red tips.

Weird… so weird.

"Oh… ok. Why… am I… alicorn… what?" I stuttered.

"I do not know Toxic. The spell I used was supposed to turn you into a pony… but the fates own their own chose what you become," Celestia explained to me.

I turned to the side and looked at the new mark on my new flanks. It looked like a music note, but the head was a toxic waste symbol. An old school green and black toxic waste symbol. Well, I now know what my calling is.

"Well, I don't mind being an alicorn, but is this a problem or something?" I looked away from the mirror and faced the group that was eyeing my new form.

"Oh, no problem Toxic," Celestia said "but this is rather odd. I still do believe that this changes nothing though."

"So, am I like royalty or jut special because of this?"

"You're not a princess, not without a coronation or a title, but I do believe this is a sign," she smiled at me "you are destined for something great."

I smiled. That was the first time I had been told that by anyone… anypony. I'm a pony now. I looked over to the group that was now uncomfortably silent.

"You don't have to call me Vanessa anymore," I said "I'm not her anymore." I raised out a hoof as I got my balance. "Hello everypony! My name's Toxic Wastenote!"

(Toxic's Pov)

The first to accept my hoof was the purple alicorn. "H-hello Toxic Wastenote," she shook my hoof with a little nervous smile "I'm Princess Twilight Sparkle."

I smiled, "It's a pleasure to meet you Twilight Sparkle!"

The next to approach and shake my hoof was the orange pony. "Howdy Toxic. Ma' name's Applejack." Her grip on my hoof was really strong. Must be a workin' pony.

"Nice to meet you, Applejack!"

Then next was a blur. Pink blocked my vision and suddenly a bouncing pink mare was right in front of me.

"Hi!I'mPinkiePieandI'msogladtomeetyouToxic!Ilikeparties!Infactthat'smytalent!Doyoulikeparties?What'syourfavoritecupcake?Oh!Ihavetothrowyoua'WelcometoEquestria'party!Withlotsofnewponiesofryoutomeet!"

I have no idea what is wrong with this mare, but… "Um… Hi Pinkie Pie. Uh, in order of questions asked. I do like parties, just haven't been to a lot. My favorite cupcake is red velvet with vanilla icing. I'd love for you to throw me a party. And I'd love to meet all these new ponies."

I took a deep breath and filled my empty lungs with air. How she do that?! I got winded just answering!

She gasped deeply and a look of horror etched on her face. "Why haven't you been to a lot of parties?!"

"Well, I never had a lot of friends and technically you need friends to go to a party, unless you count family events. But I don't," I told her. She gasped again, officially scaring me this time, and ran back to her friends.

The white unicorn was next. "Hello Toxic. My name is Rarity," she shook my hoof delicately.

"So nice to meet you Rarity. Good to see a proper lady such as yourself finds me acceptable," I said smiling "last time I was around manners it did not go so well."

"Well what happened if I may ask?"

"Oh! It was a complete accident! But I was at the rehearsal dinner for my cousin's wedding, and my dress was way too poofy for me, and it got stuck in the elevator! I screamed and they had to stop the elevator, with people in it, and they couldn't get the stupid bow unstuck, so they had to use my mom's coat to cover me and I had to take off the dress under the coat in public!"

"I know ponies don't wear clothes but for a human I was really embarrassed having to walk around almost naked with just my mother's coat covering me, because humans don't have fur to cover the intimate parts of our bodies! But looking back at it I just laugh. Because I was so upset my parents let me skip dinner and go straight to dessert and I had so much sugar that I crashed at like two in the morning!"

I laughed at recalling the funny memory, and I heard Rarity giggle to.

The next that greeted me flew in front of me. The cyan pegasus connected her hoof to mine next. "Name's Rainbow dash! Fastest flyer in Equestria!"

I smiled, "Nice tuh meet you Rainbow dash! Hey, any chance you could help get me in the air too?"

Her eyes widened, "Really?!"

"Sure! I mean, who better to teach me to fly than the fastest flyer around?"

"Awesome!" Rainbow dash flew away and landed near her friends. Then the little purple dragon came over to me.

"Hi! I'm Spike!"

I just smiled. "You. Are. Adorable!" I squealed.

"Am not!" he yelled.

"Are to! You're like a little plushie! Ek!"

I picked him up in my hooves and nuzzled him. He laughed, but he still protested against me.

"S-sto- Ahah! Ha!-p! I- hi-hi-hi am mi-hi-hi-highty drag-hun-hun-on!"

"But you're soooooo cute!" I squealed again "Aw fine! But I'm not through with you just yet." I reluctantly put down the little dragon and saw him scurry over to Twilight's side and hide behind her.

Ok… then no other pony came up in front of me.

Hold on…

"Wait, wasn't there six ponies a second ago? Or am I just bad at counting?"

They looked around, and found the yellow pegasus hiding behind Applejack.

"Ummm… I'm guessing she's a tad timid."

A collective 'Yes' was my reply.

"Come on Fluttershy," Rainbow dash said and pulled the timid pony by her tail toward me. The pegasus was staring at me as if she were scared to speak.

"H-hi… I'm… fl-mum-shy."

I couldn't hear her she was so quiet. "I'm sorry. Could you repeat that? I can't hear you."

"Uh um, I'm… Fluttershy."

I could hear her that time, and smiled while I extended my hoof to her. "Hello Fluttershy. You have a lovely name."

She blushed and shook my hoof before retreating to her friends.

"It's great meet all of you! And it's really cool to be here… though extremely weird walking on four legs," then I thought of something "uh, can one of you answer a question?"

"What is it?" Twilight asked.

"Well, why is there a mark on everypony's flanks. I've noticed they have something to do with the personality of the pony, but why do you have tattoos on your butts?"

"They're called cutie marks. Ponies get them once we find our special talent. They reflect what we're best at."

"Huh," I took another look at the weird cross of a toxic symbol and musical note now on my flanks "then I really am a good singer. Guess hard pop and rock are my favorites actually. Cool! I can sing!" I smiled at the new ponies.

"Well Toxic, you should now go with the Elements of Harmony to Ponyville. I believe you should learn the magic of friendship with them," Celestia told me. She levitated my bag into the air and it flashed, then it was a saddles bag the same color with my new cutie mark on the sides.

"Yes ma'am Celestia, and thank you," I said as I put on my new saddle bag around my waist.

"For what Toxic?" she asked.

"For doing what my mother never did," I smiled at her "for actually listening to my side of the story."

She tried to hide it with a smile, but I saw it. Her lip quivered a little. She pulled me in for a hug and I hugged back. "You're welcome."

Then we separated and I faced Luna. "Luna, thank you. Thank you for stopping those memories that hurt me," I said "if you ever just wanna hang, I'm always free for you."

She smiled and hugged me too. "Thank you, our friend."

Then we separated and I turned to face Discord. "You… you are quit the wild card. I like that," I said "if by chance you ever need to let loose within boundaries… Hook. Me. Up."

He had this… creepy yet intriguing grin, "Oh I like you already!"

"Takes two to tango," I said "otherwise you're just some crazy whack that dances by themselves to a two ponies dance. So basically you'd be my uncle Jeffery."

They laughed.

"I'm not joking. He's legally insane and dances to anything he hears."

The laughter stopped.

"Yeah. He's seriously messed up."

"Goodbye Toxic!" Celestia waved as I left with my new friends.

"Safe travels our friends!" Luna bid us farewell.

"Goodbye! I'll write and visit! Thank you both!" I waved goodbye as I walked out with the group. "And try not to bring anymore humans to Equestria Discord!"

"No promises!" he yelled back.

I chuckled at him. Boy did he sound fun! "So where do we go?" I asked.

"We take the train back to Ponyville," Twilight said.

"A train! Impressionante! I've always wanted to ride a train!" I shouted.

They were just looking at me, a bit dumb founded.

"What did you say?" Rainbow asked.

I blinked, "Oh! Impressionante? That's awesome in Italian! My great grandfather on my mother's side was Italian, so I learned a little Italian for him as a birthday present one year!"

"Really," Twilight asked intriguingly "how fluent are you?"

"Io sono piuttosto bravo a farlo. Ma non sono un esperto. Ma mi ricordo ancora come dire tutto ciò di sicuro! That means 'I'm rather good at it. But I'm no expert. But I can still remember how to say this whole thing for sure'."

"Impressive," Rarity commented. "Grazie," I said with a smile.

We trotted through the city, and I got quite a few weird looks.

"Ugh! Why are they staring at me? It's really making me uncomfortable."

Twilight answered, "Well, you're appearance isn't typical. Just being an alicorn is amazing but the strange pattern of your wings and… you, it just attracts the attention of ponies."

"Great. I'm a traveling freak show. Its ninth grade all over again," I groaned "you know, they can stare all they want, but no touching or they go through a wall."

They stared at me with slight shock. "Whatever! You can't blame me for speaking my mind." I laughed.

We continued walking to the train station and I got to know the girls and Spike a little more.

"So you get to live in a library Twilight? Cool! I love reading!"

"Really?!" she smiled.

"Of course! I don't just sing yuh' know. I like to write a little. I mean I gotta if I write my own songs."

"Amazing! What do you write about?" she asked.

"Well, mostly when it comes to stories I like adventure mixed with battles of the fates and doomed romance. I also write about the dark sides of things. Little stories about depression and sorrow. And songs are more… personal to me."

"Personal?"

"Yeah. When I feel strongly about something I can think up lyrics about it, or my mind just puts the perfect song to the scenario. It's like a natural instinct."

"Cool," Rainbow said.

"Thanks. I also used to sew," I directed that specifically to Rarity "my grandmother taught me, and her grandmother taught her and her mother, and so on and so on. My grandmother was the one in the family to go to whenever you needed something sewn. She was no expert, but she actually saved my mom's prom dress."

"Wonderful! You must visit my boutique some time dear!" Rarity said.

"I'd love to Rarity."

We continued walking and finally made it to the train station. "So impressionante," I said.

They insisted on paying for my ticket this time even though I said I would pay them back for it, and then we were boarding… the girliest and most vomit inducing train ever.

But hey! Better than home!

"This is so cool! I have never been on a train before! Mom always said planes were a lot faster and more practical than land travel. But they were so boring! All you can see from the plane is clouds, your ears pop, you can't leave your seat, and the food they serve is disgusting!"

"What's a plane?" Pinkie asked.

"Oh right! You don't have planes here. Well, humans can't fly like pegasi, so we have large mobile machines that use jets to get in the air and carry large amounts of passengers over long distances."

"No way!" Rainbow yelled.

"Yes way," I said "humans have invented several machines to help make life easier. It's part of the species and ability to adapt and modify an area to survive and thrive."

"So you fly without wings?" Rainbow asked.

"Well, technically, yes. But it's not the same as actually flying. There's no wind in your face or the free feeling underneath you. Just sitting inside a giant shell waiting to land. It's so- so… boring!"

I groaned and threw my head back, but I hadn't realized that my head would slam into the back of the seat. "OW! Note to self, don't do that again! Man I'm a lot shorter as a pony."

The ride was starting to get boring, like really boring. God so boring! I sat at my seat across from Twilight and Spike and just stared out the window.

"Hmm hem hmm," I got tired of nothing and started humming. "I rise to greet the day, despite the monsters underneath my bed."

"What's that?"

I looked back and noticed Spike and Twilight were looking at me.

"What was that you were singing?" Spike asked me again.

I blinked, "Oh that? That's just a song I like. I sing it sometimes when I'm bored."

"It was good!" I jumped in my seat and realized Pinkie Pie was behind me. Ok, this girl needs to stop defying the laws of nature! That's supposed to be my thing!

"Thanks Pinkie," I said.

"Can you keep singing it?!" she asked.

"Well- uh, sure I guess." I coughed and cleared my throat.

"I rise to greet the day, despite the monsters underneath my bed.
I grab a pen, and count to ten, and spill the contents of my head."

I realized the others were now gathered and listening to me sing.

"This is the here this is the now, I gotta make it somehow.
Sometimes it, feels as if my brain is bursting. Gotta write it down."

I was I little more into it and stood up from my seat.

"Note to self! Feed the dog, call the mom, write a song and rule the world by noon!
Note to self! Make the grade, make your mark, break a leg and don't forget to always work the room!
Cus' everything is going by so fast. I just wanna make something that lasts.
But I'm gonna leave the keys up on the shelf…
Note to self! Note to seeeelf! Note to self! Note to seeeelf! Note to self!"

"She's really good," I heard Applejack whisper.

"Yeah," Rainbow whispered back.

"I lose myself inside the night, despite the demons in my mind.
We hit the street, and take his hoof. The promise land ain't far behind.
Whether it's right or if it's wrong, I wanna party allll night long.
Sometimes it, feels as if my brain is bursting. Gotta work it out."

Other ponies were now listening in and commenting on my singing, but I kept going because I was far too into it to care.

"Note to self! Feed the dog, call the mom, write a song and rule the world by noon!
Note to self! Make the grade, make your mark, break a leg and don't forget to always work the room!
Cus' everything is going by so fast. I just wanna make something that lasts.
But I'm gonna leave the keys up on the shelf…
Note to self! Note to self! Note to seeeelf! Note to self!"

I finished to hear the clopping of hooves against the floor.

"Amazing! Wonderful! Such a talented mare!" the other passengers cheered.

"Oh- oh thank you all," I felt my face turn red. I knew that the girls were listening, but not the entire train.

"You are amazing darling!" Rarity told me.

"Thanks, but I wouldn't have sung if I knew every pony on the train was listening."

"Incredible!" Pinkie cheered.

"You sure do deserve that cutie mark sugar cube," Applejack said and patted my back, rather harshly, with her hoof.

I laughed, "Thanks Applejack. You know, you are really starting to remind me of my aunt Sophia."

"Really? How?"

"Well, she lives out in the country with her son Joseph and she just sounds a lot like you."

"Really?" Pinkie asked me while she basically fell off the seat.

"Yeah, well… she's technically my cousin. But she's also my aunt. Oh! Every time I try to explain this I actually confuse myself!" I took a deep breath and exhaled.

"Ok. So my father has an older sister, and she was a wreck. She was always refusing responsibility and had casual hook ups with a ton of different men. But then she got pregnant. And right after she gave birth to a daughter, she just left her at my grandparents' house and left the state. I have no idea where she is now. But my grandparents ended up taking in that baby girl, and then they officially adopted her. So that baby is my aunt/cousin Sophia."

"When my aunt went into high school, she had a boyfriend and she ended up pregnant. She and the father had a big fight and he left her and the baby. So my grandparents helped her and my dad was there to make sure she graduated. And she finally graduated a couple years back when her son, my cousin Joseph, was two years old. Then after graduation, she chose to leave her past behind her and moved out into the country with Joe."

"Now she's happy and she even is engaged to a real nice man named Thomas that loves her and really likes Joe. And I just explained all of that without slipping up! Self-approval!" I smiled at myself as I finished my tale of my aunt.

They all just uh… took in what I had just explained.

"Was it a little too graphic for you guys?" I asked, concerned I might have just seriously screwed up six innocent ponies and a baby dragon.

"N-no, that's just one odd family history," Twilight said.

"Sorry, I guess I should have known something like that would sound weird here."

"It's nothing," Rainbow said.

"Water under the bridge," Applejack waved a dismissing hoof.

"Oh thank goodness! I was worried I might have zurped your minds or something!" I laughed.

The ride went along and we just talked about stuff, they told me about the adventures they've had and that their friendship is what keeps Equestria safe.

"Wait… so Discord was a bad guy, and now he's a good guy?"

"Hard to believe right?" Rainbow muttered.

"Eh, I don't know. He just seemed like a little kid rather some big and scary villain. I mean, chocolate rain from cotton candy clouds? That's not scary that's just laughable! Though I personally like blue cotton candy to pink. Blue leaves your tongue and face all blue!"

"HAY! WE"RE HERE!" Pinkie yelled… again, again with the yelling. But she was right I could hear the conductor yell for all getting off the train.

"Alright! I get to see where I'm supposed to spend the rest of my life!" I grabbed my saddle bag and strapped it on around me. I ran to the door and stopped to see the others, well except Pinkie Pie, all walking way to slow! "Come on! I just can't wait to see this place! And I kind of need you as my guides!"

They all finally joined me and we exited the train together.

It wasn't until we were leaving the train station I decided to ask the obvious question. "Um, where did Pinkie Pie go?"

"Oh, she's probably working to make you a welcome party. That's just Pinkie being Pinkie!" Twilight said.

"I um… but how did she just… disappear?"

"You get used to it," Rainbow told me.

"Ok, just one thing. Does she defy the laws of nature a lot, or is this just on like special occasions?"

"All the time," Twilight said "it's just Pinkie being Pinkie."

Wow, so she's like always on a sugar high. Why did anypony ever think it was a good idea for her to work at a place called 'Sugar Cube Corner' then, if she's already always having a sugar rush?

They showed me the town right from beginning to end. Not half bad. It seems like a good place.

I saw the giant ginger bread house that apparently Pinkie works at. Like Hansel and Gretel.

If I see a witch burning in an oven in there I will, repeat, will scream my lungs out.

"Can we go inside?" I asked.

"Sure," They said. But when we walked in the door, it was all black. The lights weren't on.

"W-what? Why is it so dark? Girls-"

The lights flashed on and I was both blinded and deafened by a huge, "SURPRISE!"

And I just freaked-the-fudge-out.

Hello! Good to be here! Now, if anyone can guess the name of the song from this chapter, you'll get an internet cookie from me in the next chapter! I thought it would be fun. Just leave the answer in a comment for this chapter. And next chapter I shall announce the names of those who guess correctly and hand out the cookies after the next chapter in this little AN right here. What song did Toxic sing? What do you think?
