"I do say, what is this rude interruption for, Color Jam?" Discord snapped back to the aerial pegasus. He then moved forward; flowing around my equine body, curling around me like a snake coiling its prey. "I was busy having a conversation with my dear friend here, because I found her first."
I was physically stunned at the amount of greedy vibes Discord was presently exuding as he pressed his brown-furred long torso around my flank. It was rather disgusting; since it was obvious the draconequus was downright ungainly to view – like a cow or bull. I was NOT wanting to be his friend at the moment, but his body felt good against mine. My senses of self-composure were spinning every which way; like chaos – or Discord.
"No! I'm not afraid of you, you slimy two-bit creep!" the black and rainbow-haired mare dropped to the ground as night fell. "Oh great…"
THAT was surprising. I could have sworn it was day…as plain as day. It took a few seconds for my equine eyes to adjust to the sudden fall of darkness. Still in the air and enveloped by the annoying body of Discord; I tried to make sense of events and failed.
"Uh…go figure…" I muttered as I watched the three-quarters moon rise into the sky at a walker's pace.
"Cue the chocolate rain." Discord's high, whiny voice squealed with glee. It began to rain – and since I was still suspended in the air, my hooves facing the night sky; I felt the raindrops on my stomach. Yea, I know there was a scientific term for a horse's –pony's – belly, but it escaped my jumbled mind at the moment. Some drops landed on my pony-lips and I tasted dark chocolate. I nearly shouted at the rain's flavor.
"CHOCOLATE RAIN, great, just great. Now my mane is going to get matted." The grounded pegasus complained; I assumed she had tasted the same rain. "I'm warning you Discord, you let that other unicorn go and I'll leave."
"Oh, very well." The compliant voice of the chimera said before unraveling off of me and snapping his aquiline fingers from his left upper appendage.
I couldn't see it as it poured 'chocolate' rain in the night, but Discord had a mismatched body of leftover parts from who knew which animals. His face was that of a unilaterally fanged donkey, sporting yellow irises, red pupils, a beard and bushy eyebrows of grey. The horns on the skull were from a buck-deer and something that naturally grew an off-white, wavy, spiraled upward horn. The neck was from a jack-ass – don't ask me how I knew the difference. Where the neck and body separated were two wings; one from a cliché demonic bat-thing and the other from a bluebird, only larger.
The body was covered in russet red fur, and was long and slender like a snake. His arms were pulled from a lion and eagle. The third-part of his body was red-scaled and spined, like a red serpentine dragon. The tail ended in a vestal, thin-skinned fan; being thin enough to allow partial translucency of the skin – giving it a lighter red coloring. Think of the thin skin between the human thumb and forefinger being held up to the light. His legs were from a green alligator while the other one was brown goat.
Sure, his overall appearance MIGHT look nice and fan-inspiring on television – something I know this dimension DID NOT have – but meeting such a garbled creature in real life was disturbingly grotesque.
Dropping from my levitated state in the air, I was saved by the black-pegasus when she dove under me, acting as a buffer on my back. I really didn't want to test the 'cartoon-bodies-don't-die' theory by allowing my back to impact the now-chocolate rain-soaked dirt path.
"Uh, thanks I guess." I spoke haltingly as I rolled off the other equine body. These bodies were anatomically correct; being built like a real earthen horse - pony. This would take some getting used to.
"No problem…" The pegasus nodded as she used her elongated horse head to assist me to my black/brown-hoofed feet. "What's your name, I'm Color Jam."
"Uh, I don't know?" Wow, this was all random. I finally managed to get onto my four legs and stood, wobbling. I was not custom to the pony-point of balance so I promptly tripped forward and splashed into a puddle of chocolate.
"HAHAHAHA!" In front of Color Jam and me, Discord laughed merrily.
'FOAL you, buddy." I cursed without the curse. "What is the fudging problem with my fudging speech?"
"You aren't in your human world anymore, my dear." The monstrosity exclaimed in the night. "Here, you are a pony!"
Morning came. The sun rose up with its might and pushed away the chocolate rain. Feeling stunned at the short night and its disappearance, I looked over at Color Jam as she jumped into the sky again.
"Discord! Just you wait! Princess Celestia will come and turn you to stone again." The black pegasus plainly told the mix-matched animal.
"I will be waiting for her to come and do that, my dear." Discord smiled back; making us both flinch at the horrid sight. "This is a no-fly zone, and so…." The aquiline fingers snapped again and Color Jam's wings disappeared.
Color Jam neighed in surprise before losing the battle with gravity and falling to the mud again. "What the hay!"
"That's what I said the first time, Jam." I muttered as I returned her favor and helped her up. "I'm assuming you weren't expecting that."
"Uh, no." she answered.
"Oh no, Color Jam, are you ok?" a third voice entered the scene and I turned to view who it was. A dark-golden yellow filly entered the glade and trotted up to the now-wingless pegasus. Her hair was long and wavy, shining in the new-morning sunlight. Hazel-yellow eyes were wide with concern as the filly stood next to the black horse. Her flank depicted a stick of butter, with three squares cut off one end, tilting over. On her black hooves, she wore a set of yellow-something slippers. Overall she looked like a nice, intelligent pony.
"Yea, I'm fine B-Pond." Color Jam answered; turning to her golden partner and picked herself up. "I was just trying to help this pony get free from this jerk."
"Uhh…I must have hit my head worse than I thought." I muttered to myself. I stood there, slowly testing my new body and its balance point. "There are now MORE ponies who talk and have Cutie-marks."
"Ooooh more guests for the party!" Discord slithered in between us three ponies. "Let's play a game!"
"Forget you, jerk, let's NOT play a game and YOU send me back to where I was before." I quipped back, jerking my horse-pony legs away to avoid touching the foul Discord. I swayed and threatened to fall again, but saved myself at the last second and splayed my legs to stop from moving.
"Awh, that's not very nice to say." The thing turned his attention on me, beady red eyes glowed with spiteful delight. "Especially from a gloriously beautiful pony such as yourself."
Still looking at the dark-golden yellow pony, I heard myself neigh in surprise as huge, green trimmed hedges thrust up from the chocolate-saturated mud, separating me from the two other ponies. Upon hearing the other cries of dismay, I figured the ponies, B-Pond and Color Jam, were separated as well.
"Ok! Enough is enough!" I hissed through my pony teeth; which also felt bodily different. I took a second to run my new tongue over the adult pony molars, checking the shape, size and condition they were in. "Hm, this is way crazy."
"I know, isn't it!" Discord now was standing on his hind legs before a grey and brown throne. "All this craziness and randomness is so fun; and turning a human into a pony is even more exciting!"
"I know who you are: you're a part of Chaos." I hadn't survived through multiple dimensions for being naive or stupid. This dimension was just another cliché in a long list of been-there-done-that planes.
"Give the pony a prize!" the draconequus laughed, draping himself over the armrests of the throne. "How clever she is, even being minutes old!"
"Albeit; a completely watered-down micro-sized sliver of chaos." I insulted back. "I mean, why aren't you unleashing death and destruction?"
"Oh, dear, seriously?" His red eyes turned to me once again. "You humans are so droll, always expecting the worse from everything; death and destruction. You must have been so bored in your narrow little universe."
"I resent that." I answered, slowly pulling my legs closer together so I would quit looking like a giraffe with its legs out. "You are chaos, so why aren't you plaguing the world with insanity and negativity?"
Discord made a 'tsking' noise and moved closer to me. "Would something that is known for such negativity make you into something as beautiful as this?"
Here, the monstrosity held up a twelve foot mirror – where he got it was beyond me. I gasped in surprise at my reflection. I had, up to this point, only managed to see parts and glances of my new, four-legged body; but never the face.
I was a sea-green colored unicorn with long, wavy hair the color of picturesque ice, darkening into dark teal as the mane lengthened. My eyes, normally hazel-brown, were a nice shade of pale amethyst. Upon my narrow, equine forehead was a stiff, mint-colored spiraled horn. The shape of it was pleasant and rounded; the tip was blunt, like a used pencil. I figured it was mostly likely made from keratin, or whatever the stuff that rhinoceros horns were made of. It sparkled and glinted in the sunlight as I slowly turned my long pony head to see a side view of it.
This action brought my attention again to my hair; or should I say, mane. My mane fell down my broad back in a wavy cascade. Like B-Pond's golden shining mane, mine was clean and brushed to the point of gleaming. Some strands of hair sparkled with some keratin-al glitter. Moving my view down further my pony body, I noted that my coloring changed ever so slightly from the green-side of the cyan spectrum to the blue side; so that my sea-green melded into the sea-blue, from mint to teal.
My hooves were black and polished; with fetlock hair of dark turquoise. Lifting one leg as I watched my reflection, I slowly turned sideways. My tail was fixed differently; a section of purple hair was braided within the turquoise tail and went down to my hooves. I would have been labeled as vain the way I turned myself for the mirror. My flank was blank, and that made me blink.
"What? No Cutie-mark!" I felt a wave of pure anxiety rush through me. I backed up in dismay and turned my head to naturally view my flank, which was indeed blank.
"Awh, does the wittle Gwittermind not have a Wutie-mark." Discord had made the mirror vanish and now was stalking me. "Such a shame; all ponies your age have one. Maybe you are a freak and aren't wanted here."
"Forget you, Discord. I don't want to be here, wherever 'here' is; let alone how things work." I yelled at him. "Send me back to where I was!"
"Well, I'm not going to send you back to your dreary little dimension, so why don't you stick with me, and I'll show you how things work." Discord laughed jovially and draped himself on my equine back. "In fact, if you stay with me, I'll make you into a queen!"
"Yea right, like I would trust a crazy guy like you to uphold his sleazy deals." Now I was annoyed. "If I had a dime for every time the enemy threw a deal at me, I'd be a millionaire."
"Well, if that's how you feel, what about those two other ponies?" Discord buffed his nails in faux boredom. "How would they feel if I told them you abandoned them? You think they'd take you as a friend?"
"Say what?" I hesitated, trying to process his threat. "What are you talking about?"
"If you think you'll have an easy time in this world, think again." Discord pushed off my body angrily and scowled. "You are in over your head, young mare, and you'll never make any sense of it!"
"What is WRONG with you! First, you drag me away from another dimension, then turn me into a unicorn, thirdly you stick your ugly face in mine, then torment other life-forms, then take that pegasus's wings away, and finally, separate us. Are you hitting on me? That is very, very, VERY disturbing. Now you're mad, monologue and threaten me with blackmail. I am so confused. I'm going to kick your…"
"Try it, young filly; I'm more powerful than you think." Discord's red eyes lit up with smug haughtiness. "The more confused you are; the more power I have."
"DISCORD! Stop right there!" A voice interrupted my righteous indignity.
