>Day turkey in Equestria >It is midday >You, Anonymous, the homeless beggar stroke your mighty beard as you stand in front of Celestia's throne >Yes, Princess Celestia >You don't quite know how you came to Equestria, but you ran from a purple pony and hitched a train to Canterlot >You spent months scrounging around for food >Alas, you have barely scraped by while making friends with the majority of the ponies >But recently, a pony had apparently reported you to the big cheese of Equestria >So here you stood, stroking your mighty beard >Oh, and it was Thanksgiving, but the ponies didnt know that >The noise of somebody clearing their throat caught your attention >You looked up to see a somewhat perplexed Celestia sitting on her throne, her mane flowing rather remarkably >She smiled down upon you, but you just stared into her eyes, now twirling your mustache >"Anonymous the human?" >You stopped twirling your mustache "Yes?" >Your voice was slightly raspy, but you could get over it >Celestia appeared to wince at the sound of your voice >"You are, as of now, the only homeless being to reside within Equestria's borders." >You put your hands on your hips and clicked your tongue "Really? That's a surprise. There are thousands of homeless where i come from. Mostly children and mentally incapable adults, but eh. Shit happens." >She nervously laughs and the guards shuffle uncomfortably >"Impeccable word choice... Alas, I wish to offer you a home, on behalf of Equestria!" >Oh? >What's this? >She insulted your word choice and now she wants to give you a home? "Sorry sister, but i think i'll stick to hunting and gathering." >Her laugh dropped and she narrowed her eyes >"That is not an option. I will not have a homeless creature within my borders." >Wut "I'll just leave your borders then?" >She cocked an eyebrow, still frownin down upon you >Oh fuck >"You are not a creature native to this world, Anonymous the human." >Where is she going with this? >"As such, I am afraid that i will have to make you a creature native to Equestria." >She shooed away the guards, who left in a hurry, and she stepped down from the throne >That glorious ass swaying to and fro all the while >You wiped drool from your beard and looked forward, as you both stood eye to eye "Today is thanksgiving, and i wont thank you if you do that." >She cocked her head to the side slightly >"What is thanksgiving? Some kind of human holiday?" >You smiled "Yeah, we buy or catch a turkey and cook it,, and then eat it." >She put on this disgusted look on her face as she stepped back a little >"You kill an innocent creature?!" >You shrugged "A man's gotta eat." >She shook her head and sighed >"Yes well. Now I have a good reason for doing this. This spell requires a large amount of power, and you will not retain your age. So... It will be my responsibility to find you a home." >Fucking what? >You are thirty four years old with a large beautiful beard that Phil Robertson would be proud of "Ain't nobody got time for that!" >You took off your left boot and threw it at her >You made the move to dive out the stained glass window, but instead of crashing through it, you bumped off of it >Your head smacked the marble floor, and you fell into a daze >You groaned as miss perfect ass came waltzing to your side, looking down pitifully at your stunned form "Fluck offa me." >You can't tell her to fuck off >Fucking brain >"Hmph, well. Might as well do it now and get it over with. Maybe somepony will teach you not to use naughty words." >Fuck! >A bright golden light flashed all around you as your body felt like it was ripping itself to pieces >You screamed in pain for what felt like hours before you finally went unconscious >Glorious sleep >Take me away >You finally woke up with a startled gasp >You moved a hand to your face to feel for your amazingly sexy beard >And it was still... there? >Kind of >It was about half the size of Willie's, from Duck Dynasty >If you would take a guess, you would say that you are now a teenager >If that is so... "Test- gah. Testing... 1...2...3..." >Yup, you were a teenager again >What luck! You were younger! >You made to jump out of bed and clap your hands, but you fell on all four limbs instead "The fuck?" >You looked down at where your hands should be, but instead found dark blue hooves >Fucking hell >You're a miniature horse >But not really. You were a teenager, Seventeen you could guess. >Sunbutt must not have known you were thirty four years old >If you were younger, you might have been made into a foal or some shit >But nope, here you were "Wait..." >Your beard caught your eyes >You crossed your eyes to look at your mustache "Aha!" >Yup, your beard color has changed >It was now gray >Perfect >Fifty shades of pony >But now you had to figure out a way to get out of this god damn country, before perfect ass finds you and does something weird >Suddenly, the door opened and shed light on the small room >Princess Celestia stood at the door >Oh fuck >You tried to make yourself unnoticeable, so you slumped onto your ass >Great job Anonymous you clumsy fuck >Her eyes swept across the room before they fell upon your form >The curious eyes narrowed into slits as she stepped into the room slowly and with deliberation >If you wouldn't know better, you'd think she was about to kill you! "Heh..." >Celestia stopped in front of you, her eyes boring down into your frightened face >She looked so evil from up there >Your eyes flicked to a hoof that had been lifted up, now slowly coming towards your face >She's gonna smother you! >You whimpered and flicked your eyes between her face and the incoming, perhaps hostile, hoof >The hoof stopped just before it reached your newly formed muzzle >You looked up to her eyes with a confused expression >"Boop!" >The hoof lightly poked your nose >Her menacing gaze and frown turned into a lighthearted gaze and a grin "Get outta here Celestia, the only reason i aint pissed is 'cause my beard is still here." >You swiped away her hoof >Celestia stepped back and sighed in response >"Well if you want to be mad, be mad Anon, but just remember that i am helping you." >Only your friends called you Anon >You narrowed your eyes in contempt >She took note of your apparent discomfort and smiled >"Well at least you are a unicorn, in fact, you are the spitting image of Starswirl the Bearded when he was of teenage years." >You sighed >She scratched her chin with a hoof >"I was expecting that spell to make you younger than this... I suppose i underestimated your age." "Thirty four, i'm thirty four years old. I'm actually happy that you made me younger." >You weren't happy that you were a pony >But you are a unicorn! >And none of those ponies can be misanthropic towards you anymore! >Maybe you could finally leave this place "Well Princess, it was nice of you to do this, but i'm afraid that i must take my leave." >She chuckled >You stood up awkwardly and managed to walk past her >Celestia's horn lit up with a golden glow as the same glow wrapped around you, gently pulling you back >"Not so fast. Now that you are technically a minor, you are under the care of whoever wants to care for you." >Uh oh >"And that somepony is me." "I need an adult!" >She laughed >Oh god she laughed >"Silly, I am an Adult!" "NOOOOOOOOOO!" >You screamed as you were carried on Celestia's back into Celestia's bedroom >Today was not a pleasant day as you wood usually say >You thought you were about to be raped by the sun >How does that work? >Being raped by the sun... >Your ears perked up as you thought of an idea >A weird feeling >You could feel your ears move upwards, and to the sides, it was an odd feeling that you wished would go away "Celestia. I'll give you a cookie if you promise not to rape me." >She fluffed her wings in apprehension >"I'm afraid i do not know what 'Rape' is, my dear Anonmous, but I will gladly accept a cookie if you have one!" >Oh. >So you won't be raped today. "I don't have a cookie, and why are we in here?" >Celestia's ears folded down, disapointment from not having a cookie? >"We are here to get you settled into your new body. Magic, walking, general things ponies know how to do." >Oh. >Magic? >You wonder what you could do with that "Avada Kadavra?" >You smiled to yourself >"No... I don't seem to recall a spell of that name Nonny." >Wut "Nonny? Don't call me that." >You could just feel her smile while on her back >"Okay, Nonny." >Ur a witty lil' cunt i'll give ya that >She'd probably smack you if you called her a cunt >You wonder... "Cunt." >Celestia's ears perk up >"What was that, Anonymous?" >Oh fuck >She knew what it meant "N-nothing. Just testing the waters for something just to be sure... Hehehe..." >You chuckled nervously >You hoped she didn't know what most of the cursing was >"Well i'm fairly certain that what I heard was not 'Nothing' as you put it, Anonymous. I will not tolerate that sort of language coming from the mouths of my ponies." >Your ears folded down, again, such an odd feeling >How were you scared of this mare? You are... Were a human citizen of The United States of America >Yeah! You could tell her that! Maybe she'd send you back! "Yes well. I am a human citizen of The United States of America! I demand you to send me back to my country!" >A golden glow enveloped you as you were lifted off her back and in front of her >She plopped you on your ass and you looked up into her satisfied gaze >Why is she happy? >"I don't see a human anywhere. All i see is a terrified unicorn colt sitting in front of me." >You gulped >Why is she doing this? "Why are you doing this?" >She leaned her muzzle down to yours, and you flinched back slightly >"Because i can tell when somepony needs another to care about them." >She pecked you on your nose >What did she mean by that? And why did she kiss your nose? >"You are frightened." >She sighed >Of course you were! First you were human, and now you were... This! "W-well yeah. I mean... You... Horses!" >Damn, you couldnt even talk. >Maybe you should just go to sleep, and everything will be okay >You lied on the marble floor, your head getting cold, but you were in no position to complain >Wouldn't want to get blasted by the sun... >You felt a presence curl up against you >You knew you weren't lying as a pony probably should >It was uncomfortable in fact >You decided to curl up into a ball and just sleep >"It's okay to be scared. It happens." >You felt the presence curl up all around you >Rape >"But i'm always there for my little ponies." >RAAAPE >Celestia hugged you from behind >As your eyes widened, you wondered how you had gotten into this situation, and which pony had reported you to Celestia, if any >You had to do something >You were a man! >You were no silly colt to be cuddled up by "Mommy Dearest"! "Get off of me you wretched creature!" >YOu kicked her in the stomach with a back hoof, eliciting a pained "Oomph" from the Princess >Oh god you just kicked a creature powerful enough to incinerate you >"N-now now Anonymous. That's not something a pony should do..." >Get the fuck outta there "I'm getting out." >You stood up on four wobbly legs >Oh shit, you haven't figured out how to walk on four legs yet >And the door is closed to top it all off >Your ears dropped once more "I'm boned." >"One could say that your plan wasn't thought out very well, hm?" >You gulped >She was right behind you >"And 'Wretched Creature' isn't the term that most ponies use to describe a princess." >Dont look at her and you wont die >"You should probably shave, Nonny." >Bitch you what? >You turn around and burrow your gaze deep into her own radiant eyes "The fuck you say?" >Her soft gaze turned into a glare, but you didnt care about that, because this bitch just told you to shave >"I told you, you need to shave. Don't curse in the castle." >She met your gaze with equal intensity >Your beard began to tingle at the thought of staring down a princess >A random thought passed through your head >What if beard magic was a thing? >Suddenly, an earsplitting *POP* followed by a bright flash interrupted the staredown >Princess Celestia tried to meet you eye to eye, but she turned her gaze down to your... thigh... >Wow what a fucking surprise >"Anonymous, you have received your cutie mark?" >Huh? >You looked at your ass and snorted at what you saw >It was a cartoon beard >Guess your cutie mark has to do with beard >"It's a beard. Much like your own... How odd... I have never seen a unicorn specialize in beard magic... It was a theory made by Starswirl however..." >So beard magic was a thing? >Neat "Still not shaving my beard, lady. I also humbly request to leave the castle. M'lady." >Snicker >Princess Celestia was not so humorous however, as she turned her hardened gaze back onto you >"No. In fact, we still have to teach you the basics of magic." >Damn >Well, at least you know that you'll be great at beard magic! >You pictured yourself flying with your beard, the beard flapping like wings. >Much like the Ice King >You notice a golden glow lift you up and place you down on a very soft bed >"Now then. I wish to cover basic levitation AT LEAST by tonight. So we'd better get started." >She had such a motherly voice, much like your own mother >Interesting to note that your mother indeed had a beard >Celestia, however, did not >Yet > *FLASH* >Your eyes roll in your sockets as you try to reorient your perception and field of view >When you finally undizzify yourself via bashing of the head with a hoof, you notice something peculiar >Something is off about Celestia >Maybe it was because she now had a beard. >WAIT WHAT "Oh no." >Celestia remained unfazed by it however, and she did not seem to notice >"Nonny? Did you just cast a spell?" >There was now a flowing beard on her face, with a flowing mustache as well >You had to admit, Celestia looked pretty good with a beard >"Nonny?Are you fawning over me? That's not very polite to ogle your mo- er... Teacher's... Face..." >Her eyes rolled down to where you were staring >She looked back at you >She then closed her eyes and proceeded to nod in a sagely manner >Damn, she is pretty okay with this "Are you okay?" >"Yes yes. I suppose you do have a talent with beard magic." >It's like dumbledore but horse >Or Gandalf, whichever you prefer >You personally prefer Dumbledore, because beards are sexy on wise wizards in mighty castles >You wanted to milk everything from this. "Why yes. I suppose i do have a talent with beard magic." >Her eyebrow raised up a few inches >Hm "And i think i would rather work on beard magic than silly leviatation." >An idea ran through your head >"Well, levitation is a skill that most unicorns need to know, so i'm... afraid... that... you....." >She trailed off when she saw what you had done "Like it?" >You had manipulated your own beard to pick up a quill that was laying on a nearby desk >"I..." >Her eyes were so wide that you thought they would burst from their sockets >"I'm... So proud of you Anon!" >Oh >She pressed forward and smothered you inot a big hug >The quill held by your beard fell, and your beard went limp >You had lost focus, wrapped up in the hug >Your face was being smothered by her beard >You should probably get rid of that >But this seemed to be important to her, so why not return the hug? >So you did >This was perhaps the longest and most nervous hug you have experienced in your entire life >Especially so, because you were hugging a pony that was twice your size with a beard that does not belong >You had to admit though, ponies sure did have soft fur >Princess Celestia smells like vanilla, such a comforting smell >It reminded you of vanilla ice cream from back home >So smooth as it glided down your throat, so sweet as the smell filled your nostrils, and such a memorable aftertaste >Much like Celestia at this very moment, except you aren't eating her >You broke away from the hug, and thought about Celestia without her long flowing beard >With another, albeit less disorienting, *FLASH* the beard was gone from her face >In your mind, you had ranked up to a level 2 beard wizard "Yay." >Celestia looked down upon you with an approving gaze >You sighed in relief, unaware that you were holding in tension >Why were you even tense before? >It didn't matter. You were a level 2 beard wizard now >"Well that was nice! Wouldn't you say so Anon?" >Maybe "I suppose it was comforting." >Just maybe >Celestia smiled >"Good! Now that you know how to manipulate objects in... your own way..." >She hesitated >You guess that she didn't know how to explain what she had just witnessed >It isn't every day that a man, or in this case pony, manipulates objects with his beard >"I suggest we take lunch! The castle has some fine venues of course." >Was she trying to reassure you about something? >Because that is what her tone implied >Or maybe she was saying that the castle had a wide selection of delicacies >Perhaps you were just over thinking things >"Come along Anon!" "Oh yeah, i'm coming." >You quickly learned how to walk as a quadruped, it not being as hard as you thought >You figured that your beard could make up for levitation or hands >The thought excited you more >You always did love to show off >Whether it was your newly bought AR-15, or your ability to manipulate beards >You sit at a large dining table along with Princess Luna and Princess Celestia >There is also the purple pony that you first saw, though she has wings this time >She didn't recognize you, though she did remark at your resemblance to Starswirl, whoever he is >Apparently his full title was "Starswirl the Bearded" >Maybe you could take that title "Anonymous the Bearded..." >It has a ring to it >"Yes Twilight, we did in fact redecorate the castle, and have you met my newest student?" >All eyes fell upon you as you were suddenly introduced >You shrank back slightly >She considered you her student >That is particularly interesting >For the first time in your life, you were finally important to someone, or multiple people >Much better than your old job at CostCo >"Anonymous? Twilight asked you a question." >Your ears perked up at that, and you stood at full attention >Not in that way "Er, yes. What was that again?" >Twilight was the purple pony's name >Twilight smiled >Ugh >"What does your cutie mark mean, if you don't mind me asking?" >This'll be odd to explain "My cutie mark? Well... I suppose you could say that it signifies my talent at beard magic!" >She stared at you blankly >Did you break her? "Twilight?" >She turned her gaze back to you and burst out laughing >Rude >"Twilight, I can assure you. It is much more interesting than you think." >Oh good, Celestia to the rescue >And here comes the food as well! >Chefs circled around the four of you as the deposited what looked to be caesar salad on platters >Celestia looked to you >Twilight was still laughing >"Go ahead and show her." >Mmkay "Yeah sure." >With some concentration you managed to pick up your fork with your beard >Twilight stopped laughing >Princess Luna was busy shoving her muzzle into the bowl of salad >It must be pretty good >You used your beard to shove the fork into the bowl, and you pulled it back out >The fork was now covered in what looked like lettuce, radish, and spinach >Time to munch! >You shoved the fork into your mouth, your mustache catching a sliver of radish on the way in >You pulled the fork back out slowly, still in your beard's tight grasp >You calmly set the fork down and munched happily on the salad >The ponies here sure did know how to make a good salad >It tasted wonderful, even without ranch dressing "Y'know. The chefs here sure do know how to make a good caesar salad, compliments to them, eh?" >Twilight has spawned a notepad and quill, and she had apprently begun to write down some stuff >Probably about you >"Yes, they are very wise in their craft! Huzzah to salad, and huzzah to the chefs!" >Luna shoved her face back into the salad >"Agreed... I suppose..." >Celestia glanced at you proudly, but she turned her head back to Twilight "They better not talk about me behind my back..." >You never liked that >It was one of the few things that set you off >"So Twilight. Taking notes at the dinner table again, hmm?" >Twilight looked up from her furious scribbling >"Yes! Who knew that such magic existed?!" >Question answered, she kept at her writing >An aspiration for knowledge she has >After some time, you had finished lunch along with the others >Luna sat back in her own, snoring away >She truly did not care >But that's okay >You sat back as well, contended as you could ever be >You managed to wrestle the pieces of salad that had gotten caught in your beard out >Such is the life of a level 3 beard wizard
