Chapter 8: The Confusion

A day after the merge, Twilight felt it necessary to ask her mentor to come down and have a look at him, "Is your mentor intelligent?" Klaus asked, "Very," Twilight answered, and nodded with a smile, just then a knock came on the door, "Oh, there she is," Twilight said, and walked down. A minute later, a giant white horse appeard, who had wings and a horn, which Twilight said was rare, "Is this the...pony?" She asked, "Yes, uhh," Celestia was taken back by him, "Why does it feel like he is not the only one?" She asked, looking around, "Well uhh, he had a strange experience and well," Twilight didn't know what her teacher would say about a pony who merged with one hundred and fifty other hims, "It's fine Twilight, well madam, last night I apperently merged with other mes from other realities," He said, "Oh," Celestia chuckled, "Twilight, it's fine, on a rare occasion, something like this will happen, it's very rare, but it is indeed possible, there are no negative side effects, other than thinking, he might think he's somewhere else, but after a while, that will go away," She said, "Also, I never seen a pony of your stature," She said, "Looks like a pony, but can stand on two legs? Reminds me of Pinkie," She chuckled, "Well Twilight, it is always nice to see my most faithful student," She said, and walked back down, shortly the door was heard shutting, "Well, uhh, I have some work to do, I suppose you could go around town maybe?" (Sorry for the late description of Klaus,) She asked, starring at Klaus.

Klaus wasn't sure how he felt about being pony, he looked at himself, he saw that his tail was blue, and his body was apperently darker-gray, he didn't think he had any features like Twilight, such as the horn, or wings, so he just passed it off...Ugh, must be the pony Mes doing...He thought, Twilight still staring at him, "Uhh...You still with me?" She asked, "OH! That must have been perturbing for you, I shall go examine the geograhy," He said getting up, and walking out, "Wow, that guy is something, I think the wide vocabulary comes from the scientist hims," She thought aloud. Within two seconds of Klaus being in town, Pinkie bounced up to him, "I never seen YOU before," She said, Klaus felt as if there was like this, 'happy' aura around her, but he didn't mind...This feeling is better than the 'any second now, you could be shot' feeling in the war..."You have actually, I just kinda changed," He chuckled, "OoOoOO, wait, are you Klaus?" She asked, "Yep," He said, "OoOoO, wow, now you're part pony! Which is strange because before you were that other wierd thingy, but hey, A for effort," She chirped, and walked away, Klaus waved goodbye...Wait I still have hands?...He looked down, he indeed still had his hands, but they were still colored dark gray, "My what a drab color, I thought I was more lively then this," He then looked up, but what he made his heart jump, and he jumped back, "OH, it's you, you gave me quite the surprise Princess," He said chuckling, "Oh, my apologies Klaus, it is just I sensed an alicorn, uhh a pony like me, and I want to meet her, but I cannot seem to find it," She said laughing, "I've searched everywhere, but it seems to originate around here," She said looking around, "Funny possibility, but do you think I could be the alicorn?" He asked, this actually sparked Celestia's interest, "I never heard of a colt alicorn, but it could be a possbility," She said, she didn't want to be mean, but she doubted it was even the slightest of chance, "Well, it was nice talking to you, but I must beg my leave for now, until next time," She said, Klaus bowed, "And goodbye to you m'lady," He said, Celestia blinked, it's been forever since somepony actually gave a formal farewell, "And to you," She said, and walked away.

Klaus decided to go see how Shishka was doing, so he made his way to the farm, when he was nearly there, something streaking a rainbow hit into him, he was dazed, he never been hit so hard in his life by anything, "Oof...What in the world?" He said, getting up and looking around, he looked behind him, and seen what hit him, "Wow, for a little pony, you pack quite the punch," He said, chuckling, Rainbow got up, she was dazed as well, but shook it off, "I'm sorry, new trick, it didn't really work to well," She said, chuckling, "Wait, LITTLE?!" She said, and flew up to Klaus, "LISTEN HERE BUNGO, I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE, BUT ANYPONY WHO CALLS-Wait I do know you," She said, noticing familiarities, "Your Klaus, am I right?" She asked, "Indeed," He said bowing, "So...Why aren't you...that...thing you were before?" She asked, "Long story, to put it short, I kinda turned into a pony...sort of, and I meant nothing by calling you little, it's just, you know, I'm kind of tall," He said, Rainbow flew back a little, he wasn't lieing when he said he was tall, he was two feet taller then her (5'0), "Wow, you are tall, how'd you get that way?" She asked, flying around him, "Well, like I said, long story, once more, short version is I changed," He said, chuckling, "Now then, off with me," He said, walking away, but Rainbow decided to go with him, "You mind if I tag along?" She asked, "Not a bit, come along if you'd like," He said, walking towards the farm.

When they arrived at the farm, Klaus walked up, and gave a knock, after a few moments, an old pony popped out, "Uhh...Yes?" she said in a shakey voice, "Hello madam, is Applejack here?" Klaus asked, "Yeah, she's in the back," She said again, and walked back to her chair. Klaus thanked her, and went around the back, but spotted something wierd, "Is a good throw, but let me show you how it is done," Klaus heard Shishka's voice, but all he saw was something that looked like him, except had a tan color, and black tail, "Uhh...I'm not interrupting am I?" Klaus said, knocking on the barn, Shishka looked up and smiled, "Klaus, is good to see you," Shishka said, Klaus still looking at him, "Uhh, Shishka? You look...different," Klaus said, Shishka was actually oblivious to the fact he was pony-like, "Must be the haircut I got from Applejack," He said chuckling, Applejack stared at him, "Yeah...Must be," She said, starring at him, she as well noticed that he didn't notice, "Anyways," Shishka said, and tossed a horse shoe, and landed it right on the pole, "And that is how you throw," He said, Applejack was a bit annoyed she lost at her own game, and was about to challenge him to an iron pony competition, but he looked rather tough, so she didn't, "Wow Klaus, he looks like you, kind of," Rainbow said, Shishka stared at Klaus, and then looked down, "AH!" He fell down, starring down, "I KNEW THERE WAS REASON FOR NOT FEELING MY TOES!" He said, Klaus chuckled, "Ja, that would pretty much be the reason," He said, Shishka saw that he had hooves instead of feet, and felt very awkward about it, "Klaus...I do not feel right about this," He said, "Is so strange," Shishka said, "Did you happen to have rapid flashing dreams?" Klaus asked, Shishka blinked, "How do you know of that?" He asked sternly, "I know because that is what I went through, and then I became...This," Klaus said spinning around slowly.
