Help! My girlfriend is a Unicorn!

Chapter 2

When I woke up the next morning, I could feel the first effects of all the magic in my system. I was overflowing with energy, and had real trouble staying still. Since it was spring break and I didn’t have school, I went over to a nearby park and ran around, doing gymnastics I had never tried before, but no matter how hard I pushed myself, I couldn’t seem to feel any less energetic.

Finally, I went home and tried to calm down. It took me a while, but eventually I was able to gain control of myself enough that I could relax a little before my mom was to come home from work.

When my mom came home, I persuaded her to go over right away, as I felt like something was building up inside of me, and I would need help before I exploded.

When we got to Melody’s house, we found they had another visitor as well, an older lady who was introduced as Melody’s grandmother, Willow.

The older woman looked at me, and frowned.

“It’s pretty bad, Daisy.”

“Like how bad?” asked Melody’s mother.

“Like he could die very soon bad.”

“What’s going on?” My mom asked.

Melody’s mother explained about unicorns, and even flash-transformed into one and back to convince my mom she was telling the truth.

“So what about my son?” My mom asked.

“Every species has a limit on how much mana - the energy of magic - they can hold. Your son is currently holding far more than a human being can normally. If we don’t do something very soon, he could very easily die.” Melody’s grandmother said.

“Can you do anything?” My mom pleaded.

“There is one idea I had. The very same spell that allowed us unicorns to take on human shape, but done in reverse. We would turn your son into a unicorn.” Melody’s mom stated.

My mom thought about it for a moment, and then said, “Do it.”

“All right. Now, Mrs. Douglas, you’ll have to leave Alan with us. We don’t want you getting bathed in magic as well.”

I thought for sure my mother would refuse, but she looked at Melody’s mom and grandmother, and said, “All right. Please call me when I can return.”

Then she hugged me, and said, “Whatever happens, Alan. Remember I love you.”

And then she left.

I am not going to describe the ritual Melody’s grandmother used. All I am going to say is at some point I more or less passed out, and when I woke up ....

I was a unicorn.

The next twenty-four hours or so were filled with me coping with my condition. At first, I was weak as any newborn foal, and spent a lot of time resting on a bed of hay or eating warmed oats provided to me by Melody’s mom. But as I got physically stronger, I had to spend more time learning about being a unicorn - how to run on four legs, how to absorb manna through my horn into my body to replace what I had lost in the transformation, and other stuff besides.

Fortunately, Melody had recovered enough to help me through the worst of it, and by the next day Melody’s grandmother said I was ready to try and transform back into a human shape.

I tried the transformation, and I could feel myself going back into human form, but when it was complete I realized something was wrong.

I had become a girl.

“Ohhh ... boy.” I said, looking down at my new body.

Poor Alan

As unicorn - was he a stud or mare?

Oops !

Another cliff hanger! This just gets better and better. I can't wait for chapter 3.

Karen

Can't get over your power

Hey Ms Dorothy,

Guess I'll have to wait to see the answer to, stud or mare? My boy mine say stud but all transformed unicorns are female as per the first chapter. I don't think poor Alan even if he's a human girl, except, he will not be able to marry his girlfriend and have more baby girls. Except if he's a stud! A wondrous tale you weave my Lady!

Thanks again.

Warmest regards,

Santacruzman

Sez who?

Of course they can get married! Same sex marriage is legal in Canada and America. They do live in North America, don't they?

As for making babies... Well, certainly two magical unicorns can find a way.

I still say

that half breed unicorns are ...mmmfphffhy

Hey dorothy why did you cover my mouth?

So not fair!

totally fair!

you're such a silly girl!

"Oh boy"

I knew a time traveler who occasionally turned into a girl and used to say that a lot...
Thanks for getting this up so quick, I've been waiting for hours for this installment,
but I have a few questions:
"Melody had recovered enough to help me thru the worst of it.."
So can unicorns talk to each other, or does it just sound like neighing to them?

Does Alan turn into a boy unicorn or a girl unicorn?
(that might have been a tip-off about Alan's new human form...)

Is that wise-beyond-her-years purple unicorn Twilight Sparkle
(the greatest unicorn EVER!) gonna make a cameo appearance?
~everypony want to know, Veronica

Twilight Sparkle?

giggles. maybe she should show up, cause friendship IS magic, after all ...

transformations: magic user, unicorn, girl

I knew dating could be difficult, but sheesh. I really don't remember any of this being explained during sex ed. You must be making this up Dorothy. Oh wait... Good story.

snerk

I knew that was going to happen lol I don't think I've ever heard of a story where the Unicorn was male. Love that his mom was so willing to do anything to save his life, including let him become a mythical creature. Now that's love =]

Awesome story! I can't wait to see what happens now that he has in fact become a she! smirk.

a mother's love

well a live part-time unicorn is better than a dead human child, right?

hugs!

Better ...

To (mis)quote Nuuan's Super Soldier, where a similar issue is raised:
"Better a skirt than a pine suit".

On the good side...

Alan (Alana?) will have yet another reason to spend lots of time with Melody. She is going to have to learn how to be a unicorn, and how to be a girl. When the going gets tough, the tough go shopping!

Woo hoo!

I am seriously enjoying this story. And I am looking forward to finding out if she is a boy unicorn or a girl unicorn. Or maybe something really wicked like being able to change his gender at will. I am so looking forward to the next installment.

If Only

If Only magic like this were real to the turned into the unicorn
to get control of the magic and be human again.

And as a Girl Heaven

“Ohhh ... boy.” I said, looking down at my new body.

More like "AAHHHHH! Girl!", i'd guess.

I was thinking of the old show "quantum leap" where every time the character jumped into a new body, he would end up say "ohhh .. boy"

Re: giggles

I loved watching that show, it was awesome. He was always getting in crazy situations, it was hilarious

I haven't had a television since 2004, so the only way I could watch it now would be online. I suppose I could do that, but I already use quite a bit of my available bandwidth, going over that limit is a wee bit expensive for me ($2 or $3 per GB over the limit). LOL

I really appreciate comments

It makes me feel like my work had an impact - hopefully a good one.
