Eighth Key

[optimistickey]

[Cambot is wandering the halls pretty early in the morning, when he hears a yell from one of the rooms. He zooms over to investigate, only to discover a small black pegasus pony with a spiky brown mane come tumbling out of Sora's room. It shakes his head out...huh, the pony's still got Sora's eyes, plus his crown necklace. He looks up at the Cambot with total confusion.]

Hey! What's going on here?! It's like one of Donald's spells!...

[There is a frowny brown pony with a very short blonde mane, he also has a horn on his head. He is on his bed, not quite sure of what to make of this.]

I wish I knew, Sora.

[optimistickey]

You too? I thought it was just me...

[acceptedburden]

It would appear that is not the case.

[optimistickey]

So I guess it's probably the Satellite pulling weird stuff on us again.

Oh, you've got a horn!

[acceptedburden]

So it would seem, yes.

[Looks up at his forehead, yes he has been wondering about that]

So it would seem. I have not quite figured out why.

[optimistickey]

Well...Rarity's got a horn like that too, right? Maybe she knows what they're for.

[sailorlaughter]

[GASP] Oh my gosh, SORA! You're a PONY!

[optimistickey]

[Oh wow, he is Pinkie's size now, isn't he? He tries to turn in a circle.]

I guess so... Do you know how this happened, Pinkie?

[sailorlaughter]

No, but it's AWESOME~

Look, look, you've got wings too! You're a pegasus pony just like Dashie! Can you fly?

[optimistickey]

[Good thing Sora is used to form changes, or else he might not be taking this as easily!]

Oh, yeah! [He gives the wings an experimental flap.] Maybe I can...

[He manages to take off from the ground, but hasn't figured out how to steer so well yet, and immediately bumps into the nearest wall.]

[sailorlaughter]

[Good thing Pinkie is Pinkie! She takes everything easily!]

[...well, except maybe that. She winces a little as he crashes.] Ooooh. Hey, I know! Maybe you need a more open space to do it! I know the first time I tried out my Pinkiecopter indoors, it was just LIKE that!

[dadandgone]

You don't think Pony is contagious do you? [He's mostly kidding]

[optimistickey]

[It takes Sora a minute to realize that it's Maes.] If it is, then a whole lotta people have caught it!

[dadandgone]

I'm starting to see that, yeah.

[optimistickey]

It's probably the ship being weird again, but... [He tries out his wings more] This time it's kinda cool!

[dadandgone]

At least once you get used to it it's not so bad.

How's flying coming?

[ocarinahero]

This is just weird.

[optimistickey]

No kidding! ...Well, it's weird that it's happened here for no good reason, and not on a world like Pinkie or Rarity's home world.

[ocarinahero]

I think it would be weird anywhere.

[optimistickey]

I think it just takes a bit of getting used to! [Even if he hasn't gotten the hang of his wings yet...]

[halfdarkened]

[Oh look. It's Riku, stumbling down the hall and using the wall for support. Ponies don't walk on their hind legs, silly.]

Great, you too?

[optimistickey]

Yeah, I think it's everyone.

...Why're you trying to walk like that, Riku?

[halfdarkened]

Question is, how?

Because I walk about as well that way, too. [Liiiiiiineface.]

[optimistickey]

I don't know...it's probably the ship going weird on us again.

Walking on all fours isn't that hard! It just takes a little bit of practice.

[halfdarkened]

[Sigh] Probably.

[Riku drops to all fours with a clop.] Any tips? [He motions hoof up as he would a hand.] Or better yet... Know how to use those wings, yet? [Riku looks back at himself. Nope. No wings.]
