>>42548388cute!
>>42547857Thanks, we needed pony SCP
Stupid fucking shitpost I stumble upon
>>42549789I don't understand
>>42550046>I don't understandSame basic Plot. Protagonist realizes their not really human
>>42549789It was kind of hilarious rereading Five Score and realizing that this movie is literally an identical story but with a horror twist. Feeling like you belong more in whatever thing you're autistic for than in real life is pretty unifying I guess
>>42550286I've been meaning to see that movie.
>>42548388I finally watched this episode and now thos image scares me
>>42550594nice
>>42547816you're not beating the tranny allegations with this picture...
The world needs more Cozy Glow tf!
>>42551306agreed
>>42551210Don't you want to wake up as Fluttershy?
>>42551210Very true. This would be a fun general if it wasn't 50% troon
>>42552216
No body horror?
>>42553326
>>42553326> Be anon.> Currently you have woken up strapped to a table, in almost complete darkness. Last thing you remember was going asleep in your bed.> "WHERE THE FUCK AM I!?" You shout angrily.> "Now now, a proper pony shouldn't swear. Although I suppose you're not a pony... Yet.~" A feminine voice says. A shadowy figure slowly approaching you.> Is.... Is that a fucking horse?> What the hell is happening, you think.> "WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU!? WHY ARE YOU A GOD DAMN HORSE!?" You yell at her.> "I'm a pony. Unicorn to be exact. My name is Mending Morph. My special talent is flesh sculpting. At first I used it to heal my fellow ponies. But then, when the first human came to Equestria, I found I can use it to cure your kind's sickness. Your humanity." She lets out a psychotic chuckle.> "FUCK OFF YOU PSYCHOPATH!" You retort.> "Just for that, I'm making you a mare as well." She says as she blasts you with a bright glowing beam.> You let out a scream of pure agony. Each and every cell of your body feels like it's on fire. Your flesh slowly melting.> Your fingers liquify and get absorbed into your hands. Your limbs and bones compress, feeling as if they're in a hydraulic press.> And it only gets worse as your face cracks open. Blood gushing everywhere as your new snout bursts out.> Your back cracking open as a pair of wings sprout out. Your suffering reaching new heights each and every second your wings grow.> Your spine feels like it's being electrocuted as it expands and a tail grows out from the base of your spine.> Your mind is slowly breaking as it begins to blank out from pain. Throwing up from the sheer agony.> Your cock and balls bend and twist as it melts off, leaving behind a slit and a pair of crotch tits.> By the end of your horrific metamorphosis, your a babbling mess covered in bodily fluids. You can't even remember who you are or where you are right now, your mind has been so thoroughly broken by the pain.> Mending Morph slowly guides you to a bathtub and cleans off the bodily fluids.> Once you're cleaned off, she guides you to a mirror. Staring at you is a pegasus mare with a dark blue coat, a green mane and tail, and orange eyes. On her flank is a purple lightning bolt.> "Welcome to the world, Thundering Drizzle.~"

>>42550618Every time they jump in, another human is transported from Earth.
>>42551306Turning into Cozy Glow to take over the world?
>>42553446Pretty horrifying. Mending Morph could be a fun character, I wonder how many more she's transformed.
>>42553459>https://ponepaste.org/11345Added to the story archive.https://pone.tf
>>42553668Will probably do more of her eventually. But I really need to continue writing that Silver Platter story, and make the Comet Cutter rewrite. Just made this quick one because I was in a body horror mood.
>>42554387LMAO! This is so funny that I could turn into a spider person.
CV, archival of `artist:skyspeardraw` has been sabotaged, and will be concluded on Twibooru.
>>42554963What happened? I saw someone had been uploading those. Which is a very good thing, even though I don't like the art much.
>>42553606Oh, keep on jumping then
>>42553459That was a fun punchy horror green
If I was a pegasus I definitely would have ripped off or broken my wings by now out of pure rage and self-hatred
>>42555178If I had wings I'd be having loads of fun with them.
>>42555226same
"Supreme court: pony transformation banned"a five word story even sadder than the six word story
>>42555101Thanks!

>>42547816How would you react if you turned into a pony and met human/EqG Fluttershy?
>>42557321I'd build my nest between her tits and never leave.

>>42550433I had fun at the rosen centre too anon! Hopefully I saw you there, you're pretty good at drawing! >>42553446Cool character, even if the rest of it is pretty cheesy.>>42558516Nice story and pretty original concept. I can't wait to read anything else you write!
>>42557321She would probably try to give you away as an exotic pet.
Your fingers trembled, writhed as they seemed to stitch together-- your toes did the sameAll the while you cried out, almost falling to the ground as your arms and legs reshaped themselves.Your hands, Jesus fuck, your hands reshaped themselves-- it was maddeningly itchy, five fingers turned to three, then one, as you watched the transformation take holdYour shirt was already in tatters, your jeans soon shared the same fate, torn to shreds. (To shreds you say?) Your legs grew shorter, stockier, filled with more potential.
>>42558721Then I guess the question may become why I can’t stay with her, but I guess it could be a chance for me to work with either EqG Twilight Sparkle in scientific research.
>>42559636LMAO, anon got turned into a regular horse.
>>42560367Scootaloo TF is surprisingly common.
>>42560939Compared to the other CMC, she's the least popular to TF. I have about three times as much Applebloom or Sweetie Belle, discounting a few pictures of the three of them.
>>42559218always nice to see my stuff reposted
>>42560955Well I most of the time see Scootaloo.
>>42561236Then have a Sweetie Belle.
>>42560937Kinda want to go write a regular horse in Equestria green text. But I also need to finish those other 2 stories I've been meaning to work on.
>>42561373Thanks. lol

>>42560937i wish i was a regular horse
Thinking back, you were the kind of guy who never had too many friends. You weren’t really picked on or bullied, you just sort of existed. You weren’t a very popular kid. You were basically an extra, a background prop, at your high school. Throughout school, you were a bit of a loner. You were good at a handful of classes, but you were never really bright enough to be recognized for academic achievements. And sports… Forget it. You were lucky enough to scrape by PE class with a passing grade (you hated the gym uniform). You weren’t the tallest, but you weren’t short, and you weighed about 130 pounds. Blue eyes, and longish brown hair, and if you didn’t shave after a few days, stubble. There were a few things you did to escape the monotony and boredom of life. You spent much of your time on the computer, either playing the latest roleplaying game or trolling on various forums. You watched a lot of YouTube videos and left a lot of hateful comments. And, of course, you were a frequent poster on 4chan. You posted on quite a few boards, /pol/, /mu/, /tv/, /k/, and a few more, but never /b/. You were above that. You could never have prepared for the drastic way that your life would change. It was a cloudy overcast day when it happened. You had just been let out of school and had begun your walk home. You didn’t have a car (which sucked) and you didn’t ride the bus (which sucked even more). You noticed a strange black van driving slowly behind you, which gave you the creeps. You had seen enough episodes of To Catch a Predator to know that perverts were out and about, and willing to do harm. You picked up the pace and headed through an emptier part of the neighborhood, the area where the houses were still under construction, most of them little more than empty wooden skeletons, a few with walls half built. You darted past a pile of lumber and trash. The van kept up, and you were getting considerably freaked out, so you broke out into a full sprint. You took a sharp right and heard tires screech and the engine rev. Fuck… Fuck… You tossed your backpack for speed. You could come back to it later… Or not, depending on how this ended. You ducked behind a work truck. The van was gone… no… It wasn’t. You could see dust kicking up. There it was, coming down the adjacent street, and straight towards your position. You looked around quickly and grabbed a brick.
>>42563890 Crawling on your stomach, through the dried cracked dirt, was not fun at all. All the time you spent in those military simulators like Arma and Red Orchestra seemed to come back to you as you crawled for your life. You managed to snake your way about the construction site, and come up to where the van was about to pass. You stood, every muscle in your body tense, as if electricity coursed through your veins. The only thing you could hear was the sound of the van’s engine, and your heart pounding. You cocked your arm back. You knew your throw was never going to compare to the star quarterback’s, but this would have to do. The van passed and… CRASH! You sent the brick sailing through the left side’s passenger window. Your lips curled into a slight smile as you heard an angry “FUCK!” when you ran away. Your eyes quickly scanned for the next thing that you could utilize against your attackers. A tool box… and it was unlocked. Yes! You flipped it open, looking over your shoulder. A hammer… That was what you grabbed. You made your way into a half built home hoping that it would provide adequate shelter.You knew that they were hot on your trail. They weren’t exactly quiet. You could hear them kick over piles of debris you were possibly hiding behind, smash windows, and it sounded a lot like one was loading a gun… You heard the unmistakable sound of a magazine being loaded, and the slide pulled back to chamber a round. They entered the house. The sound of boots on cold concrete echoed in the empty chamber of the home. You ducked inside a small alcove. Maybe it was supposed to be a pantry, closet, or washroom. Whatever. That mattered very little at the moment. They were getting closer and closer, until you knew for certain that they were just about to pass you… Then you struck.You whirled out of the side room with your hammer, hitting the man in front solidly in the clavicle. The sound of it snapping combined with the man’s anguished cries made you smile. You struck again, this time with an overhead strike aimed at his head. Unfortunately (for you) he raised his right arm, and it got in the way. Your blow landed just where his forearm met his elbow, and you felt it give in a way it shouldn’t have. The man in the front had the gun, and only managed to get off two shots: one in the floor, and the other in the ceiling. Your foot kicked into his left wrist, which knocked his hand back and sent the gun skidding at an angle across the floor. He fell to the ground, hard.
>>42563893More men approached from behind, eerily silent. One of them raised a long piece of shiny black wood, a nightstick. He wore black pants with many pockets. Black leather gloves covered his hands. He wore a dark colored camo jacket, and a black ski mask covered his face. His eyes were dark blue, and cold. You chucked your hammer at him like a tomahawk. You didn’t stick around to see where it landed, but it was probably his chin or chest, unless he put up a hand to stop it. Even then, it would likely stop the man. Tossing the hammer proved to be a good choice. It bought a few seconds of time for you to turn and leap out the window. You made it out without looking back, and turned the corner around the house and made a beeline out of there. Where could you hide? That’s it… The Porta Potty! Dashing up to it, you flung open the door and heaved inside. You quickly patted yourself down for gunshot wounds. You knew you weren’t hit, but you just couldn’t stop yourself from double checking. Once you gave yourself the all clear, you sat silent in the stinky plastic hull. It seemed like an hour had passed, but it was probably a little less than five minutes. Should you call the cops? No… Your phone was dead. That’s what you get for playing games and browsing 4chan on it all day in class. Fuck. Then you heard something that made your heart nearly stop. Footsteps, and a lot of them. They stopped only feet away. You could hear one of the men speak. He had a high, soft voice, and sounded not at all like a masked goon. “Anyone see where he went?” You could just make out that the men had walked away.Then your world was turned upside down. Someone slammed into the Porta Potty, knocking it on its side. Your head smashed into the hard grimy plastic with an awful sound as piss and shit washed up over you. You stared at the door, dazed, as it was yanked open to reveal the legs of four men, all clad in the black tactical pants. Someone grabbed your collar and pulled you out. You looked up at the man, straight into his eyes as he swung the dark nightstick at your head. You didn’t feel it as he struck you. Everything became black as you were separated from your consciousness...…
>>42563897A Few Hours Later...You slowly regained awareness. Your head was pounding. Your gravity felt off, and you could hear a strange voice. There was a bad taste in your mouth. You opened your eyes… You were hanging.You were strapped to a conveyor belt, spread out in an “X” shape. You were high off the ground, maybe 50 feet or more, inside of a huge modern looking factory. It almost seemed like too much, over the top, like something out of Dexter’s Lab. Everything was white or metal and shiny. The lights over head were bright fluorescents. The artificial light made your eyes hurt. You stopped focusing on your surroundings and now listened intently to the voice.It was a mechanical sounding female voice. It said a short message, and then repeated it. The message was:“Hello. I am proud to inform you that you have been specially selected for our program here at the Pony Pet Factory. Please bear with us while we sort and categorize you before the program begins. Thank you!” You could see another conveyor belt across from you. This one seemed to have much less people strapped to it. Looking ahead and behind, you could see that your conveyor belt had far more people… All types of people. Mainly people like you, young teens, mostly whites, mostly males, though there were a more than just a few Hispanic looking people, and a few blacks from where you could see from your position. There were also a couple of women, though not very much. Up ahead, the conveyor belt twisted so that you were in a more conventional position: flat on your back as if laying on a bed, rather than hanging. Both sides of the conveyor belt led towards the wall, separated by a huge one way glass window. The sides of the wall hung down low, giving just enough clearance for you to pass on to the next room.Upon entering the new room, you could see men in strange rubber uniforms standing on either side of the conveyor belt, fixing large tags around each person’s neck. They looked like they had just come straight from the Ebola ward or something. Some people were awake and screaming, putting up a fight, and others remained knocked out. You tried to break your bonds, but it was futile. A large person in the creepy rubber suit (boots and gas mask and all) put your tag on you. You tried to pivot your neck at a most uncomfortable angle to read what it said, but it made no sense to you. All it read was: “M. #5346”You passed through a layer of long thick plastic strips that hung down from the ceiling, which separated the room with the masked men from the room coming up ahead.
>>42563903Here, there were robots. Not real robots, like something from Star Wars, but something more along the lines of those at car manufacturing plants. Maybe those were the real robots. But that didn’t matter now… Escape was what mattered. Long arms extended up from the floor and ran along the conveyor belt. On the end of each on was a nasty looking blade. On either side, a pair of larger arms lowered themselves to be even with your shit stained jeans. They dug in, cutting the jeans, ripping and tearing. A smaller pair of blades, shears, descended from above and cut at your shirt, and then went lower, for your underwear. After this, some arms that ended in pincers appeared, and took the scraps, dropping them sloppily into a waiting waste receptacle, leaving you naked and humiliated. Then it was onto the next room, separated by similar heavy plastic flaps. The arms off to the side held large buckets, and they dumped their contents on the helpless passerby’s. It was a thick white powder. What was it? Delouser, perhaps? You coughed as the powder billowed up around you. The next room you came to hosed you down… painfully. The hose seemed to have the force of a piece of firefighting equipment and would surely have knocked you off the conveyor belt had you not been strapped down. You left the room feeling tender, your skin reddening rapidly. The next room opened up and you could see a long space ahead of you, with no sign of the hanging plastic wall dividers. Looking to your side, you could see that the other conveyor belt must have veered off somewhere else. It was nowhere to be found. You looked ahead again, and your eyes grew wide… Needles. Giant needles. They were connected to the arms of the machines. The vials were clear glass, and inside was a sloshy pink liquid… You didn’t want to be injected with that!Unfortunately, you didn’t exactly have much of a choice. The only thing you could do was watch helplessly as you everyone in front of you was injected, until you were the next in line. The arm flicked away and dropped the empty vial into a trash bin, then dipped low and received a new vial, filled to the brim with pink liquid. You heart began to pound as it lowered, until it was just above your skin. You felt it touch your skin, and then push in slowly. You clenched your teeth as it pierced your thigh. You watched the machine push the end of the vial in, injecting the chemical into your body. You could actually feel it flow into you. It felt cold. Then the needle withdrew, the arm swung to the side, the empty vial was dropped, and you were pushed ahead. The path ahead continued for quite some time… Eventually you began to feel sick. What exactly had they injected you with? Your stomach churned, and you felt like puking. Your joints ached, and your head began to pound. You began to sweat and shake. This continued for about fifteen minutes, but to you, it seemed like an eternity.
>>42563909Then something else happened. Every muscle in your body strained painfully. You arched your back against the restraints. The fingers on your hand curled inwards into a balled fist. Your joints began to pop with a disgusting sound. You started to twist and writhe, a sound escaping your lips that sounds somewhere in between a moan and a howl. You began to grit your teeth. Then you heard a snap… Did your forearm just break? Then another breaking sound… Was that your leg? You couldn’t tell as your body was so racked with pain you were preoccupied. Your teeth suddenly began to feel loose. You could feel them wiggle about in your mouth… They were coming out! You laid your head to the side and spat, sending 4 teeth skittering across the conveyor belt and onto the floor, leaving blood in your mouth. You were unable to open your fists now, and your toes had also curled up. You face began to feel strange, especially your nose, mouth, and eye sockets. Your eye sockets grew larger, and your vision blurred. Your nose was bigger, and it felt like your mouth, especially your upper jaw, was being smashed together with it. You gave a weak combination half cough half spit, and out came the last of your teeth. You could feel something coming in to take their place… New teeth! They were wide and flat, much different than the ones you had before… Those were designed to eat meat. These weren’t. Something fell into your face obscuring your vision. You tossed your head back to clear your eyes. It was your hair. Somehow it was getting longer! Your knees popped and bent backwards, and for some reason, it felt like you were getting smaller.Your shoulders and ribcage seemed to be shrinking, quite painfully. In addition, it seemed that much of your body weight (not that there was much to begin with) was being re-distributed. All over your body, your skin began to itch and turn a pale white… It looked like the skin of a corpse. Your ass seemed to become more cushioned with fat, and you felt a burst of pain just above it on your lower back. Hair protruded from the wound, probably about six inches worth. By this point, your skin was covered with small white hairs.Your face felt completely alien, like it had been remodeled. Your neck began to burn. Your hair grew and grew, curling out and hanging down. The hair that came out of your tailbone was getting longer as well, twisting down below your knees to your shins. Between being pressed and rubbed by your butt, legs, and the conveyor belt, it was growing matted. Your eyes began to clear again. Downstairs… Things began to change and shift around. Your penis shrunk and retracted, and you were able to feel every little detail. Everything ended up inside of your body, and you felt something shifting around… And then you felt yourself open up.You lifted your head off the conveyor belt, and then let it drop back down with a thud. You closed your eyes and saw nothing more……
>>42563915A Few Days Later…You awoke alone, in a concrete room. No, you were in a cell. The three walls were made of a cold gray concrete and the entrance to the cell was blocked by metal bars. You stood and… What happened to you?!!You let out a scream, and it sounded nothing like you.It sounded like a girl!And your body… You looked down. You had no arms. Instead, you stood on all fours in the cell. Your body was covered by a white fur. When you looked down, long locks of hair fell into your face. Alarmingly, your hair was now two toned… Light blue and purple instead of your usual brown. You turned around and saw your behind. Your ass looked rather plump, and you had a tail, which shared the same colors as your… uhh… mane… and hung all the way to the floor. You lowered your head to look underneath your legs, at your stomach. Your little man was gone. In its place was something that… Well… You had quite frankly never seen in person before. But now you had one. Directly in front of the gash were two small mounds, with nipples that stood up, looking like eraser heads. You felt like you were going to puke.You heard the rattling and clanging of metal and looked up to find a man standing before you, unlocking your cell door with a huge key on a ring. He looked rather professional. He wore a white doctor’s coat. “Shhh… No need to scream.” He looked at you with a sleazy smile that made you nervous. “I’m glad to see you’re awake.” A second later and he was inside your cell. He reached in his coat and produced a pink harness, something that looked like it was used to walk dogs. “Don’t worry; it’s just a harness, so you don’t try to run off anywhere.” He quickly fastened it on your chest, and clicked the leash in place on the metal ring on the back. “Now, I’m sure you want to be cleaned up, huh?” He tried to run a hand through your mane, only for it to get stuck in tangles, and cause you pain. You let out a girlish whimper. “You’ve been out for quite some time. You look terrible. And you’ve been in here.” He looked around at the bare gray room. “I apologize for the accommodations. This room is only temporary, you see?” He began to walk you out of the room, looking down at you with an irritated scowl. “Can you speak?”“Y-yes…” You muttered.“Say it louder, sweetie.”“Yes.”“That’s better. You have such a cute sounding voice!” The man said. “I’m Dr. Morris, by the way.” He continued to walk you along the walkway that ran alongside the cells. Most of the cells were empty, but every now and then you could see a pony lying inside the cell, sleeping on the bed.
>>42563922Walking felt weird. Somehow you were able to walk on all four legs without much of a problem, despite it being radically different from bipedal movement. The clopping sound that your footsteps made rang in your ears. For a brief moment, you thought about how bizarre this entire situation was. Why a pony? You had browsed /mlp/ infrequently, but just enough to know that people often had fantasies about being turned into a pony, but you never thought it would actually happen. And why you? Why couldn’t they take someone who wanted to be a pony? And why did they have to change your sex?! Fucking bronies.You came to a stop with a jerk. Dr. Morris pulled tightly on your harness. “Here we are.” In front of you, there stood two glass doors, which he pushed open. Inside, it looked like a place where you would take your dog to go get groomed, like a pet resort. There was a young looking girl setting at the front desk, looking over a clipboard. “Hello, Miranda.” Dr. Morris said, a smile on his face. “We have another one here that needs to be washed up.” “Oh, of course.” The girl, probably no more than 20, bit her lip and peered over the counter at you. “Oh, she’s going to look so pretty!” Miranda looked back over her shoulder. “We don’t have anyone free at the moment. I could take her.” Dr. Morris only nodded and handed her your leash, and then left to sit down in one of the chairs for waiting guests. He picked up a magazine and began to read it. “This way!” Miranda called out in a sing-song voice before gently tugging you to the back of the room. You passed through a doorway, and before you stood a large shower room. The tiles were a soft pink, and there were dog sized bathtubs that lined the walls. Above each tub was a shower nozzle, attached to the wall by a hose. There were three other ponies here, each getting washed by someone. There were eight bathtubs to the each side, bringing the total count to sixteen. Miranda led you to the nearest one, and picked you up and put you inside. She took off your harness before taking down the shower head. “Are you ready to get squeaky clean? Say, do you have a name yet, honey?”You nodded and started to speak, before Miranda cut you off. “No, no. That’s your old name. I mean a new one, one that fits the new you! No? Well, we’ll just have to think of one, won’t we sweetie?”It was hard to get a word in with Miranda.
>>42563927The first blast of the shower was very cold, which Miranda quickly commented on and corrected, turning the water warmer. It was actually rather nice. Miranda got some soap bottles and held them up to you “What soap should we use? Honeysuckle? Rose? Lilac? Hmm… Let’s go with Lilac.” She began to scrub you all over, working the soap into your white fur. As she neared your backside, you began to make a strange face. Soon, she was rubbing her fingers over your nipples. Miranda smirked. “Like that, don’t you?” She said playfully. Then she went over you with the warm water, washing all of the soap off and down the drain.After that, she held up another bottle for you to view. Just in case you couldn’t read (or perhaps for humiliation) she said “Luxurious Mane and Tail – For Mares... Creates volume and shine.” She looked back at you, into your eyes. “I’m sure this will do nicely. What do you think?”Without waiting to hear your comments, Miranda began to lather up your mane, leaving it full of suds, and then worked on your tail. “Your tail is so long…” Miranda mumbled almost to herself. For a second time, the shower nozzle was brought down and you felt the warm water wash over you, this time in your mane and tail. “Close your eyes, please…”Miranda declared your bath finished and helped you out of the tub. She produced a fluffy pink towel and began to dry you off. You couldn’t deny that it felt good.You were dried for the most part, although your mane still hung down damp. Miranda got another towel and wrapped it up around your mane in a turban like fashion. She led you into another room. The room was a grooming room. Unlike the bathing area, this room was totally empty. Miranda looked down on you with eyes that looked they were deciding what to do with you. “Luckily for you, I’m a certified stylist. Otherwise you’d have to sit around and wait for one to become available. And I’ve kinda taken a liking to you; I wouldn’t want to give you up.” You were hoisted high up, onto a metal table, and your legs were secured in straps. She turned the table around so you could no longer see yourself in the mirror. Miranda opened a drawer and produced a pink muzzle, adorned with hearts. “This is just in case you get a little snappy.” She informed you while placing it on you. “I’m sure you won’t be a problem, and you’ll be a sweet girl. However, after a little… incident, this has become company policy. I’m sorry.”“Mmmhhhmm!” Was all you could reply.She took your mane down out of the towel, and it flopped down, wet, below your shoulders… Or at least the pony equivalent of shoulders. Thinking about your new anatomy blew your mind, especially when it came to thinking about what you packed (or lacked) below the belt.
>>42563930Miranda took out a large brush and began to run it through your mane. It felt nice. You closed your eyes, listening to the sound of the brush as it passed through your long mane, and feeling the little tug of your head in the direction of her brush. Miranda began to hum a sweet little melody, soothing you. Over and over again, she brushed. A soft sigh escaped your lips. After nearly one hundred strokes, Miranda moved on to your tail, working out all the knots and kinks. Even after it had been smoothed out, she continued to brush.Miranda noticed how much you were enjoying the treatment. “Don’t worry, this certainly won’t be the last time you have brushy time. I can tell you already love it.”Your mane was still a little wet, and Miranda moved away for a moment. You could hear her open a few drawers and retrieve some items. You closed your eyes again.Tsht, tsht, tsht… Was that a spray bottle? Snip, snip, snip… She was cutting your hair! You felt your lips form into a frown, and you peeked your right eye open. Miranda was right in your face with her scissors. “Shh… It’s okay.” She cooed. You shut your eye again.She cut and cut, and then combed some more before cutting again. Finally she moved to your rear, and began work on your tail. Snip, snip, snip. Occasionally, you could feel a lock of hair brush up against your back legs as it fell from your tail. You could see a clock across the room, and you counted how long it took. Thirty minutes. “Alright. I think you’re done. Open your eyes, and look straight ahead at me.” You complied and opened up your eyes. Once again, she was in front of you. She pulled down on your mane on either side of your shoulders, checking to make sure it was even. “Now, just a little bit here…” She said, trailing off before cutting a little bit off the left side of your mane. “Perfect.”Miranda got the harness out, and put it on you. Then she attached it to a pulley that ran overhead. She released your hooves (yes, you now had hooves) and pulled you up a bit. You were now dangling freely. It wasn’t uncomfortable. “Now let’s get to work on those little hoovesies of yours!”Miranda retrieved a scrubbing brush and started on your front hooves. It felt a little odd at first, but the feeling was soon replaced with a nice tingling feeling. She moved rapidly to your back hooves. Miranda put the brush up and now it was time for a file. She made your hooves nice and smooth, the file working down uneven spots and imperfections. She placed the file down and reappeared in front of you, holding two bottles.
>>42563934“Hoof polish!!!” She said shrilly, giggling. “What color do you want? Red?” She held up a bottle of red hoof polish. “What about pink?” She shrugged. “Actually… For starters, I think you’d look really pretty with a clear coat. Let’s do that.” She opened the bottle of polish, and you wrinkled your nose at the stench. She took the little brush that came on the inside of the cap and began to apply the polish to your hooves… It felt cold and wet. This didn’t take very long.“Alright, you’re almost done.” Miranda said as she took out a hairdryer and a large round brush. She began to dry your mane and tail and brush them out. Then she focused the hair dryer on your hooves. She nodded her head and flicked the dryer off. “Finished… Oh wait… One more thing.” She grabbed something from the counter. You could see that she held a small piece of metal in her hands. “You have some very pretty lashes already but if we could just…” She stopped herself, holding up what was in her hands. It was an eyelash curler. “Now just hold still…” She used it on your right eye, and then moved to your left eye. “1, 2, 3, 4, 5. There! Now you are done!” She lowered your harness, and then removed your muzzle. She turned you around towards the mirror…You looked… nice.Your mane was long, and hung down mostly straight, except for the ends where it curled up slightly in a flip. It reached to just about where your legs connected to your body. Your mane was evenly divided between the light blue and purple that you had seen earlier. Miranda had given you a part off to the right, so most of your hair was combed over and hung just above your right eye. A little blue lock hung down in front of your ear on the left. She had cut it in large layers, giving you just a few that made your mane look nice and full. Your tail no longer dangled on the floor, for it had been trimmed by Miranda. It was still very long, but it now hung primly just above the floor. At least you wouldn’t drag it everywhere now. Its color was similar to your mane, and Miranda had just slightly put layers in it too. Your coat was beautiful. It was a gleaming white, and you could just tell how soft it was from looking at it. It smelled wonderful, too. Your hooves flashed when the light hit them, and were so polished you could see a reflection of yourself in them. They felt tender and ticklish to the touch.Your eyes were a beautiful dark purple color, darker than the purple of your mane. They were surrounded by lovely long dark eyelashes… The kind you always liked on girls. Now they were on you. Your entire body shone and gleamed, from your mane all the way to your hooves. “You okay?” Miranda asked, laughing. “Don’t worry, you’ll soon get used to looking so pretty all the time. You’re gorgeous, don’tcha think?” She breathed in deeply and clasped a hand over her mouth. “Oh, that’s right, I forgot… You’ve probably never felt pretty a day in your life before today, huh?”
>>42563938Miranda helped you down from the table, all the while laughing. She didn’t bother putting the leash on you. She walked you out to where Dr. Morris was waiting, still reading the magazine. When he looked up and saw you, he smiled… and you felt a little weird.“Was she good?” He asked as he rose.“Oh, she was a doll. And look how she turned out!” “Yes, one of the better ones, that’s for sure. Thank you.” Dr. Morris gave her a curt little bow of his head, and turned on his heels. “Follow me.” As you left, you could hear Miranda calling out to you. “Come back soon, sweetie! And don’t forget to ask for me!” The doors of the spa swung shut behind you.“Are you ready to go to your room?” Dr. Morris asked you.“N-no… I don’t want to go back there…”“Oh no, we aren’t taking you back to your cell, especially after we’ve spent so much time prettying you up. No, this is your room. Aren’t you excited? You’ll get to meet your roommates.”“R-roommates?”“Yes, three of them, to be exact.” You weren’t exactly sure how to respond.You noticed that you had taken a different route this time, and you weren’t walking along the cells. Instead, it looked almost like you were in an apartment block… A rather nice one. How big could this place possibly be? Where on earth was it located? The area you were in looked far comfier than the cellblock. It was actually decorated, although it looked a bit dated with fake potted plants and garish pink and yellow walls. The carpet was soft, and that was a nice change. Dr. Morris came to a stop. “Ahh, yes… Here we are.” You looked at the door, which was numbered “303”. Dr. Morris unlocked the door with a much smaller key than you had seen him use earlier. He pushed it open. “Ladies first.”You heard a chorus of feminine shrieks. “Dr, Morris! Dr. Morris! Dr. Morris! DR. MORRIS!” Three ponies rushed him, before turning to you. They were very happy, and could not decide who to pay attention to: the new pony or the doctor?“Oh my gosh! Are you our new roommate? You look sooo pretty!”“What’s your name? What’s your name?”“You’re going to have SO much fun with us!”“Wow, who did your mane?!”“Calm down girls, calm down. Give her some space. Let her at least get through the doorway!”
>>42563942Immediately, the other ponies (other ponies… Were you thinking of yourself as a pony?!) did as he said. You were able to actually enter the room.It was a strange room. The apartment was only one room, with the exception of a small bathroom. In the middle was a queen sized bed. A small television was mounted on the wall of the left side of the room. There were no windows. All along the back side of the room were four dressers, with a vanity table in the center dividing them into pairs of two. The vanity was white, with a small padded bench tucked up underneath it. You could see various products lying on the top. There was a small kitchen area, with a table for eating at, although it was not separate from the rest of the room. The room was lit by soft lighting. The walls were soft colors, pastel pink and yellow, much like the halls, but with sky blue accents. On the table in the kitchen was a vase of flowers.“I’m sure you have a few questions.” Dr. Morris said. “Now you’re probably wondering why there is only one bed. The answer is simple. It brings you and your roommates closer together. It… ehh…” He wrung his hands while he searched for the right words. “It encourages relationships… After a month or so, I’m sure you’ll love the system.”“Over there,” he pointed “Is your kitchen. You can prepare meals and eat here, or if you’d rather not cook yourself, visit the cafeteria. I’m sure your roommates will be glad to take you there sooner or later. On the wall, obviously, is your TV. Feel free to watch TV or hang out with your roommates here. There’s also a few common areas, a rec room, and a pool. Those are all fun places to meet new ponies.” Dr. Morris walked over to the dressers. “This is where you’ll store your belongings. I believe yours is that one.” He pointed to the one third from the left. “You all share a vanity. I’m sure you’ll spend a lot of time sitting here.” He patted the stool. “There’s also a little closet in the corner, for special outfits that shouldn’t be stuffed into drawers. I’m not sure if you saw that when coming in.” He glanced at the silver watch on his wrist and groaned. He actually seemed like he was enjoying himself earlier, but now he looked saddened. “I have something to attend to, unfortunately. Girls, I hope you treat your new roommate well! I will check up on you shortly. Bye bye.” Dr. Morris made a quick exit.Your new roommates surrounded you again, lighting you up with more personal, prying questions……
>>42563945Six Months Later...Your slowly opened your eyes and looked over at the pony with whom you lay in a tangle with. You spent all last night playing, and it seemed she was still a little tired out. Her name was Graceful Waltz, but you and the other girls called her “Gracie” most of the time. You leaned in close and whispered in her ear. “Gracie, wake up. It’s the big day.” Graceful Waltz was the closest friend you had. You spent most of your time with her. She had also been a male before this had happened (your other roommates did not disclose the information, although you suspected that they were former males as well). She was a slender pony, smaller than you and your other roommates, She was a caramel color, with a pretty reddish orange mane that she kept in a curled bob. You rose from the bed quietly and walked to the closet. You slid the door open to view the dress that was custom made for you. Dr. Morris had taken you to a tailor and had them take your measurements and design a dress for you. All of your roommates agreed that it was “just sooo you!” Dr. Morris was so nice. You hoped you’d seen him again after today. He had been so wonderful to you. It felt just terrible thinking that you’d never see him again. Today, a handful of very rich people, both men and women, were visiting to select their very own Pony Pet. Dr. Morris said he had a good feeling that you would be selected. You heard stirring in the bed, and saw your roommates rise. You walked over to the kitchen to prepare what was likely one last breakfast for the four of you.You walked completely naturally now, a sexy sway in your step. Your ass rocked gently from side to side, and your tail swished enticingly. Sometimes when you knew someone was watching you, you would swish your tail a little too high, exposing your sex. What were you going to eat today? Maybe you’d make a salad for the four of you, with a side of hay-fries. That sounded good. You were vegetarian now. Frankly it was a little disgusting to think that you had ever had meat before… Eww… Now it was all veggies, with some sweets every now and then. You didn’t indulge in those as often as Velvet, another one of your roommates who had a huge sweet tooth. You needed to watch your figure. You committed to the salad and hay-fries, and one by one your roommates began to wake up to the wonderful smell. Before you knew it, you were sitting down with all of your friends, eating and getting a little teary. Was your time together really coming to an end? You all shared silly stories to get the tears to stop. You finished your meal in laughter.
>>42563949You sat down in front of the vanity and pursed your lips. You had to look as cute as possible. You really wanted to stay with your friends and with Dr. Morris, but you needed a master. You all did. Obviously, a first impression was huge on any would-be master, so you needed to look perfect. You did your lashes and spritzed yourself with an expensive perfume. You and your roommates pooled all your bits together to buy it from the in-house beauty store. You did actually end up finding yourself a little bit of a job during your time at the factory. You did domestic work, mostly cleaning. It was boring, but the pay was fine. At first you were annoyed by the uniform that you had to wear while performing your duties- a black and white maid’s uniform- but you soon found that you enjoyed wearing the pretty, silky, uniform. You liked the way it felt, and the soft rustling it made when you moved, and the way men (even Dr. Morris) looked at you when they asked you to do a task for them.You got up from the vanity to let the next mare have her turn. Now it was time to take out your dress. It was so wonderful. It was purple in color, with a lighter purple trim. The sleeves poofed out at your shoulders, with some cute little frills hanging down. The neckline was similar; although this time the frills were in a darker purple fabric. The dress exploded around you in a bell-like shape. You would say that it was medium length. It certainly wasn’t the shortest dress you had worn (oh no!) but it still wasn’t long enough to completely cover your hind legs and it lacked a huge train. You loved the way it sounded when you made a step, and any movement made the dress look like it was sparkling!The other mares had finished by now, so you all took your dresses and went down to the spa. Today, there was no shortage of workers. Still, you managed to find your favorite girl: Miranda. You had come back fairly frequently, and you always enjoyed chatting with her. Sometimes you talked about fashion, other times music, but she most often asked you about stallions, and you asked her about boys. Yes, there were indeed stallions in the factory, but about 90% of the ponies were mares. Even then, some of the stallions were gay, so it was rather hard for a mare to get laid. You often turned to lesbian encounters, especially with your roommates. It seemed to be that this sort of behavior was encouraged. These trysts were fun, but you found that a mare could not compare to a nice stallion. Despite the difficulty, you managed to have a handful of encounters with stallions. You blushed as you thought of them.
>>42563950What style should you put your mane and tail in today? Should you put them both in a single braid? Maybe you should leave them loose and use a big bow. You asked Miranda for her input, and she said she had an idea. She quickly rolled your mane and tail up in curlers, and put you underneath a huge domed shaped hair dryer. “I’ve got a lovely color for your hooves in mind.” She selected a nice color that worked well with your dress. It was a reddish purple. “Burgundy” was what Miranda called it. After an ample amount of time, she removed the hair dryer and let down the curlers. She brushed out your mane and tail, leaving in with thick, rolling curls. Then Miranda took two locks from your left and right temple, pulling it back and tying it with a big blue bow, the ends of which were long and floppy and drooped down to your shoulders. You then put on your lovely dress. With your mane, tail, and hooves done, and in your dress, you felt so beautiful and elegant.Finished, you gushingly thanked her for all of her work and bid her a short but heartfelt goodbye. Now it was time for you and your friends to head to the stately ballroom. You had never been there before, as it was off limits to all ponies but those “graduating”. In other words, only ponies that were going to be selected by masters (or mistresses) were allowed to enter. But you had heard rumors of how beautiful it was. The rumors were true. The room was huge. The ceilings were high and vaulted, and the floors were made of a beautiful polished wood. Large round tables covered with silk tablecloths surrounded the dance floor. The whole place looked expensive. All of the ponies were lined up on one side of the ballroom, and given a number to pin to their dress. Yours was “14”. There seemed to be around thirty ponies. In this particular batch, there were only three stallions present. On the other side of the room was a throng of people. All of them were men, save one woman clad in a beautiful red dress. You knew that some ponies wouldn’t be picked, and you hoped that you weren’t one of the unlucky ones. You could see a number of the factory managers standing next to the potential owners, including Dr. Morris. Apparently they had a meeting and meal before the ponies were brought in.Then they all came over and had a field day with the ponies. Masters gauged potential pets, looking at them and holding small interviews with them to see if they would fit well in their home.
>>42563955Quite a few came up to talk to you. One that caught your eye was a man who was tall and spindly. He had clear blue eyes and blonde hair, cut short on the sides and left long on the top. He seemed like Hitler’s perfect man. Another man that came over to you seemed to be a Latino, and not from the United States. Maybe Brazil? One of them looked a little like a guy who you thought would browse 4chan… He was tall enough, but lacked muscle and had thick glasses. He had an ok beard, cropped close to his face. He was probably in some tech startup company. That was the only way he could afford this. Finally, there was a huge black guy. You blushed as he approached you, remembering what Miranda had told you about black guys. Months and months before, you would have been disgusted, and probably would have insulted her… But now… You looked up at him, smiling and biting your lip. You were glad that all of the guys were tall… You didn’t want to be with some short guy nerdy guy.The time for the customers and product to mingle was over, and now it was the moment of truth. Would you be picked? Your heart began to pound. The room was silent. Then, the customers raised their little placards with the pony they desired’s number on them. Your eyes scanned the room… No one held your number…But wait! Someone was holding up your number! But you didn’t even notice him! He didn’t even come up to talk to you! You made your way across the dance floor as quickly as possible. The man was wearing a nice tailored suit. He was the perfect combination of height and weight. His has was brown, and slicked back, and he wore a red tie. His teeth were impeccable. He was gorgeous. “H-hello?”The man knelt down. “Hi.” His voice was smooth. “Did you pick me?”“Of course I did. I’m holding your number, right?” He chuckled. “But why didn’t you… Why didn’t you come to talk to me?” Your voice cracked cutely.“I didn’t need to. I knew it was going to be you from the moment I saw you. You were the one I wanted.”You felt butterflies in your stomach, and your heart melt. A romantic, huh.“Oh… I…”“Shhhh…” The man put his finger to his lips.You looked up at him, swooning, fluttering your lashes. You finally had a master. You had graduated. You were complete. You gave him a sweet smile, and you knew that you were ready to fully begin your new life.https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YuI6FBiyFPQMtUg0pjx0oppgWYW_qyUcKsSW31uh49g/preview

Anon was the product of an attempt to make a homunculus using magic, dark magic, pony parts/blood and soul energy. normally a homunculus just has a facsimile of a soul made from the soul energy of their creator, making them a step above golems but still under real people. In Anon's case his creator's went a step beyond, trying to draw soul energy/a full soul from 'beyond' to further empower their creation, it went wrong/awry and ended up with anon's soul being implanted into the homunculus in some form either his full soul or just a copy/energy of it. So instead of getting their evil fake pony they got a real person spawned from a fake body. he looks like an alicorn because they used blood/parts from all 3 tribes, making him a false alicorn. fake pony, fake alicorn.

Still working on the twilight filly adoption story, it's coming along well. Just passed 4k words and i think I've settled on the actual story i want to go for. I was kinda getting stuck with writers block there. Should be a good story

She won't be happy until every human has turned into a pony.
>>42566949How long will it take her to accomplish her goals?
>>42551306literally just wanted to say thatCozy Glow threads pop up constantly, she is a character with a fanbase but there's basically no tf art with heri think i saw like maybe one or two pics?
>>42567141I count 4 bits of art (and 2 memes).
>>42567004The total ponification of a planet takes 3 generations. Celestia is very patient with her future subjects and gently eases them into their new role as her ponies.

>you quietly snore in your crib, dreaming pony dreams>needless to say, they involve a lot of carrots and racing around fields>you are jolted awake when a pasty fat man bursts through the door, holding what looks like a geiger counter>oh god it's that horsefucker you met last week>whythehellishehere.jpg>"Ha-ha! I -knew- someone else had gotten to Equestria!" he declares>he holds up the geiger counter, scanning the room>"Alright, fellow human, you can come out! I have so many questions to ask--">he holds the geiger counter up to you, and his face contorts in confusion>"Wait...that can't be right..."

You make one dead baby joke...">He kneels down, on those disgusting giant legs.>"Its been... a thousand or so years for me, no clue how or why before you ask, and honestly most of it was a blur." >Anon gives a pensive look at Anonfilly, smirking the whole time which only serves to piss her off more.>"Where the fuck is sunbutt?">"No clue!" he declares. >Twilight is sat on her haunches meekly watching the scene play out. >Her beloved teacher and Prince has never once spoke this crass or so open with another pony, not even her.>Who in his name was this filly?>"I looked for her for a long ass time, she just up and vanished after banishing Luna, i got here about a week or so after Luna got zapped." he adjusts his wings as he sits, vile. hes become accustomed to that gross body.>"So what, you've been in charge for the past millenium?"

It all starts after an airship crash. Anon is the sole survivor. He's pulled out of the wreckage barely conscious and wakes up in a hospital some time later, feeling a little bit off.While he was out, the ponies figured out he was not on the passenger list, nor are there any records of a pony with his name or identifying features anywhere.He walks and talks like a pony, can't remember ever being anything but a pony, yet still can't help feeling a little off. That, and he keeps swiping at things with his hooves and knocking them off, somehow expecting the item to stick but of course it doesn't.So he's a weirdo and a bit creepy, but really not a bad pony. The knocking things off is written off as minor brain damage. Nopony ever figures out how he came to be on the airship. All that put together is enough that he can't get a job, no matter how hard he tries.Until the princesses themselves step in. He ends up hired as a janitor in the castle, very much as a diversity hire due to his brain damage diagnosis. There, he feels a bit useless since the other ponies are much better at what they do but he manages.
>>42567260>he thinks earthlings will be welcomed as her future subjects instead of as slaves or as foreigners who are held to higher standards than equestrian nationals

>You are anon.>Yesterday was complete shit.>Had to work the nightshift for once, and the store gets robbed.> Boss blames you for not stopping him and you get fired.>Well nothing can be done about it now, just get up and look for a new one.>As you try to roll out of the bed it feels like you hit a railing or something.>You open your eyes and see wood bars."Crap am I in prison?">"Oh you're awake.">You look and see what looks like a really long horse with antlers and oversized tooth.>It picks you up by your leg with its tail.>"I'm discord God of Chaos and Current ruler of Equestria.">Are you high? what is going on."Where am I?" you try to say>But it just comes out as something inaudable.>"Aww adorable.">"You see I found outside and something about you just screams chaos. So I think I'll keep you with me for a while.">Wait a god of chaos, equestria, and you can't talk what is going on.>You try to speak again but nothing comes out that could even remotely be called a sentence.>"You know I think you being a pegasus would be a bit more fitting.">Pegasus? Flying horse?>This "Discord" snaps his what looks like talons and you can feel two growths on your back.>You crane your next to look and...you have wings, and fur.>"See lovely aren't they, not much use in them as a foal but you'll grow....no I think unicorn might be best">Wait what?>He snaps his talons again and the wings disapear and your forehead feels a bit heavier.>"Yes, you are just an adorable little thing">He brings you to a mirror and you see your a small horse or pony or something...>More to the point your small and wearing a diaper. Wait he said foal didn't he.
>>42568215>Discord sets you on the floor in front of the mirror.>You stare at yourself a light purple coat, dark blue eyes, and a lighter blue mane with a white streak in it.>"You know I just thought about it and you don't have a name do you.">Well you do have a name but considering the past two attempts of talking might be a moot point to try.>You stare up at him as he just towers over you with his paw rubbing his beard.>"I guess I could just call you...">If he is a god of chaos its probably going to be something insane like "XXer".>"Anonymous.">You cock your head at that.>How the fuck did he do that.>"Perfect.">Discord picks you back up and sets you back inside the crib.>"You go ahead and get back to sleep. Tomorrow, when ever I decide that will happen, I will show you around my palace.">You have so many questions. How did you get here? Whats going on? Why am I so tired?">But you're too tired to even try and ask them right now.>You just lay down and return to bed.>Its the next morning.>Or you assume next in the time span of your waking up you saw the sun rise and drop withing seconds of each other."What is going on.">again nothing but garbled mess.>"Finally awake are you. Its been three weeks, if you count a normal cycle anyways.">You try to stand up from the bed but just fall right onto your face.>Discord picks you up with his tail again and sets you on his shoulder.>"Lets go, I have to listen to the earth ponies complain about food again today. I still don't see why they don't eat the candy coming out from the clouds.">Candy coming out of clouds? thats pretty funny.>You give a slight giggle at that.>"See even a foal thinks its fine, I don't understand them sometimes.">He begins walking down a long checkered corridor with a single door at the end of it.>The closer you got to the door the larger it became.>"And here we are the throne room.">Discord opens the door to what looks like an extremely large bathroom.>"Oops wrong throne room.">He recloses the door.>"Have to give it a minute."
>>42568219>He sits there waiting.>"I hate the waiting part.">He opens the same door and it leads to a room with a few ponies at one side and an asymmetrical throne on the other.>"All right what are you all whining about now.">He says as he sits on his throne and setting you off his shoulder and onto the floor besides him.>One of the ponies comes forward saying discord needs to let the sun and moon set in an ordered fashion or there won't be any food for the ponies to eat.>"And we can't just eat the candy that falls from the sky.">The stallion apparently heard that one allot.>Discord was stroking his beard again thinking of a rebutle.>"But if they go threw a cycle at normal times where is the surprise in that.">He says ignoring the obvious issue of food.>You can feel something scratching the back of your head.>You look behind you and see discord is trying to get you to play with his tail.> You try and grab it but just fall over as he moves it out of reach.>You can hear him chuckling between trying to talk with the distraught farmer.>You lost focus in the conversation and are just trying to catch that tail.>"Well this was fun and all but this is boring so I'm going to just leave now.">Discord had said that so matter of factly and picked you up put on his shoulder and began to leave.>As he left you looked back to see discord had teleported them all out of the room.>"Maybe if they were a bit more optimistic they wouldn't be complaining so much.I mean it could be worse.">You had nodded your head in agreement. You're not entirely sure why but you like how everything is here. Its unexpected and fun.>"Well then little Anon, We should probably get something to eat.">Your stomach had growled in response.>"I'll take that as a yes.">He then snapped his lion paw and formed a bottle from thin air.>"Not a single pony out their would ever guess I would know how to feed a colt.">You ignore him and reach for the bottle nearly falling off his shoulder.>"Well you really are hungry.">With his arm he brings the bottle to your mouth and feeding it to you.> It tastes like chocolate milk.>"I think having you around is going to make all of this slightly less dull. I can feel it."

>You are an Anon>Last night you drank quite a bit with some friends, far more than you usually do and blacked out>Now all you can feel is a massive headache>Roll onto your side groaning>Wait... Is this a bed you're sleeping in?>*Oh God...* You hesitate to open your eyes>Excessive amounts of alcohol + Waking up in a bed never works out well>You decide to bite the bullet and strain an eye open, seeing nothing but the edge of the bed and some furniture, the room is dark>You roll over, expecting to see a landwhale at best, instead you just see perhaps the largest bed you've ever slept on>Come to think of it, this isn't THE largest bedroom you've been in, but it's definitely up there>Sitting up you open both eyes and catch a strand of hair in your eyes, not too unusual in the morning, your roommate always did say you'd look better with short hair>The only problem is it's blue, but hey that's what happens when you black out at a party, even if it's just a small get-together>You sit up and rub your eye while yawning and stretching>Hold on a sec, why can't you feel your fingers>You look at your hand.... Err, hoof now>And promptly scream>That's when the fuckhuge door slams open and in comes an orange.... Pony?>You scream again and the pony quickly leaps onto the bed, letting you see just how fuckhuge SHE is, and goes straight to rubbing your nose with her own"Shhhhh, shhhhh, it's okay! It's okay sweetie! You just had a bad dream is all!" she says, trying to calm you down>It takes more than soothing words from a giant horse to calm you down>You're in tears now as you frantically look around and down at what of you isn't tucked under the blankets>Oh boy, look at that color variation! Your chest is blue too! Though, a darker blue than the hair that's still obscuring the top of your vision>And you also seem to have grown a lot of chest hair overnight.... Or more likely a whole fur coat.>You look back up at the orange pony still trying to calm you down, her words lost to you>You're obviously drunk, and God is putting you back to bed>Out like a light, you collapse backwards, the orange pony's worried face being the last thing you see before slipping back into unconsciousnesshttps://poneb.in/Ff3S0knd
>>42570609>You sit upright in a panic, panting>*That was one crazy ass dream, no more alcohol on Sundays*>Turning to get up, you spot that orange pony from before>*Oh no....* Yup, kiddo. That wasn't a dream, nor is this>It looks as if she had just collapsed from where you sort of remember her being, it's kind of sweet.... A bit more scary>Behind you, you hear a loud sound, snoring, and as you turn to look you see a blue pony, this one looks to be male, sounds it too>Carefully, you worm your way out from under the blanket covering you, neither of the other two who look like they just plopped on the bed, just you>You cross your eyes, there's that blue hair again>Push that shit out of the way, only to find it comes almost right back>Whatever, you stand up and look over the two massive ponies on either side of you and spot some rays of orange sunlight coming in from a window past the blue one>You try to walk towards the light only to trip and fall>This is nothing like having two legs, nor does it help that all four of your new ones seem to be pretty weak>Rather than bother trying to stand back up again, you merely lay and wait, contemplating your place in the universe>This lasts all of thirty seconds before you hear a shuffling to your left and turn to see the orange pony waking up, stretching out her... Wings?>Awesome, a Pegasus! While you'd never admit it to your friends, you unfortunately did watch MLP from time to time.... About 9am on Saturdays as well as any other time you managed to catch it with nobody around, and Pegasi were by far the superior ponies>She rubs the sleep from her eyes and looks down at you smiling before whispering, "Good morning, sweetie, are you okay? You had us both more than a bit scared last night.">"Honestly, I'm more confused than afraid by this point.">That's what you meant to say, what you actually said sounds much more like the incoherent ramblings of a drunk... Now, is that from all of the alcohol or from being a pony?>All the same, she seems to get the general jist behind what you said and lightly wraps her forelegs around you, patting your back, "Don't worry, sweetie, it'll be all right. I'm sure we'll find out where your parents live soon, and then you can go back to living with them.">*Wait what? I moved out of my parents' house for college two years ago... Wait, that's right, I'm a pony now.*>You just stare at her confusedly>"But in the meantime, just think of me as your mommy," she says with a reassuring smile.>"My mommy? Just who exactly do you think you're talking to, some kid?">More babbling, and this time she takes it the wrong way and hugs you again>"Oh, I can already tell we're going to get along great!">You just sit dumbfounded and hear the blankets shifting behind you>"Oh, is she awake?" a masculine voice asks tiredly behind you>*WAIT, SHE?*
>>42570613>Their conversation takes the back seat while you look down and confirm the worst>You've lost your greatest friend, your fuckstick>I-It's so heartbreaking.... After all of the great times you two have been through.... It's just... So sad....>You mourn for the loss of your wingdang doodle, crying to yourself>Seriously, this shit is depressing. Now who will point you to clues?>The two larger ponies both wrap you in their combined embrace, the orange one shhh'ing and speaking words of how it'll be okay, the blue one letting her do all the talking but does start licking the top of your head>Y'know, this actually feels pretty damn good, and your tears begin to stop>The orange pony wipes the last of your tears away while the blue one continues licking, and with your sight no longer blurred by your own tears, you see that you've managed to make her teary-eyed as well>Fifty points for Gryffindor!... Wait, no this isn't snarky one-liner time, you actually feel sorry for her>You lean towards her, hooves outstretched, and fall forward, settling on hugging her leg>You hear the blue one chuckle and the orange one "D'awwww." How sick>"Honey, can you go make breakfast? I'd like to stay here with her to make sure she doesn't get scared again.">"Sure thing, I'll call you out when it's done... Uhh, what should I make for her?">Orange'y looks down at you with a smile and back up, "Just warm up some milk and put it in a cup for now. We'll get some supplies today when the stores open up.">She props you back upright and starts grabbing your lips with the amazing dexterity of hooves>No seriously, she just grabbed with a flat surface, what the hell? Fuck it, it's magic. Fucking magic>She peers inside your mouth and nods, "Yup, definitely milk. She's got no teeth.">While this invasion of privacy goes on, you barely spot the blue pony leaning over you and kissing the orange one on the head then feel a kiss on your own head, "All right then, have fun you too. I'll be done in a jiffy.">More ruffling of blankets, a wooden door opening, and he was gone, you still staring up at the orange pony>"So, uhh... Hey there, baby.">She only smiles at your babbling>This sucks, you can't pick up chicks anymore... Nevermind the fact that you apparently are on nowhttps://poneb.in/9u8EvVWt
>>42570622>You two have just been cuddling the past few minutes>More like she was cuddling you, you were still trying to make sense of things>Then you heard the call, "Breakfast's ready!" from out the door>You both look at the door then back to each other and the orange pony smiles, getting off of the bed and picking you up by the back your neck with her mouth, surprisingly it doesn't hurt but nonetheless you still squirm a bit>Then as she stifles a laugh you stop and just pout at the world>As you and and her cross through the door, you're met with a decent sized, what you can only assume to be, living room>Two sofa chairs, a decent sized couch, a fireplace, and a window looking out on a neighborhood made of.... Clouds?>*HOLY FUCKSHIT I'M IN CLOUDSDALE!*>You outstretch your hooves towards the window and begin squirming again, you wanna see Cloudsdale>But it seems the orange pony has other plans for you and you're taken out of the living room into the kitchen>There's a fridge, a stove, a sink, some counters, and a square table with chairs that are much more cushiony than you remember most chairs being and the seat of the chair lower than you're used to seeing>And even better, another window which you immediately change your focus to>The blue pony sees you and laughs lightly, "Sorry sweetie, but you can go outside once we're done breakfast.">You accept the ultimatum and are set on the table, immediately receiving a kiss from the orange pony on the cheek as she takes a seat in the chair next to you, and you see why there's lowered seats on them>Joining you on the table is two plates of vegetables, two glasses of what you can only assume to be orange juice, and a glass of milk>Remembering what was said in the bedroom, you assume this is for you so you start to walk towards it only to fall over again>*Oh right, weak legs, of course*>You make due with crawling towards the glass and get some chuckles from the other two
>>42570623>Once you finish your long trek to the milk glass, you reach for it only to see the orange pony quickly pick it up and sit you up, "Nuh uh uh, you might spill it. Honey, can you...">"Already on it," and as you turn to see what he's talking about he wraps a wash cloth around your neck as an improvised bib>She thanks him and they kiss then her attention is back on you as she slowly eases the glass towards your mouth, "All right, open up now... I know you're not used to drinking from a glass, but I'm sure you can do it!">*Oh, sure, thanks for the vote of confidence. Tell me, why is there a rag around my neck?*>You open your mouth and she tips the glass, pouring some warm milk into your mouth and more of it onto your mouth and the wash cloth, you blame her for this mess>Once you manage to get what can only amount to a few sips, she sets the glass down and wipes your mouth with the rag, "See? I knew you could do it!">Damn straight>Breakfast goes on with her giving you a bit more to drink here and there, by the end of it only using half of the milk and those two eating and drinking and talking, most of which you ignore in favor of staring out the window>Eventually, your day dreaming is ended by the blue pony grabbing you by the scruff of your neck, startling you, and you being set on his back, nice and snug between his two wings>He smiles at you as the orange pony gets to putting the dishes and cups in the sink, the milk glass going into the fridge for later>Once everything is all said and done blue and orange make for the living room again and you catch yourself staring towards the window again until you feel the orange pony nosing your side
>>42570627>In turning towards her, you spot that the front door of the house is open and outside it's... It's beautiful>For one, the ground is clouds. The sky is perfectly blue above, the sun shining down with no clouds blocking it. All around, you see Pegasi, and this gives you an idea as you turn around and see that you too are a Pegasus! Fuck yeah!>If you couldn't feel the massive grin on your face as your wings flutter with excitement, the look of your two caretakers definitely would have given it away, the two smiling back at you>"Well, we'd better hurry... Who knows how long until she has to go..." The blue pony says after a while and the orange one quickly nods as they set off, you still riding around on Blue's back and taking in the cloud-covered buildings.>As the two walked alongside each other, occasionally leaning their heads against each other and periodically giving you some affection, the question eventually came up, "So, what should we call her?" asked Blue.>This conversation topic piqued your interest>"Should we be coming up with a name for her? I mean, she's not ours...">"Well if we can't find her parents, she might become ours. Besides, having a name for her would be nice, y'know?">"I guess you're right... How about your cousin's name?">"Anny?">*Anny? Excuse me, the name's Anon!*>If your disagreement with the name appeared on your face, they didn't notice it>"Yeah, Anny! It's a nice name, and I'm sure Anny would love it, especially after she named her son after you.">You groan but they're too caught up in their own conversation to notice, *Not being able to talk sucks*>"Well, I guess when you put it that way, sure. Anny it is."
>>42570630>Orange turns to you and smiles, "How do you like that name?">Rather than make her upset when you can't offer your own input, you just put on a smile and nod your head pseudo-enthusiastically>If you never heard a pony squee before, you certainly have now as she claps her hooves together>And seeing her so happy over such a little thing, you can't help but genuinely feel good about yourself>Jesus, what's happening to you?>Blue seems genuinely happy to see your response as well, but nowhere near as happy as Orange despite her initial protest>The three of you continue going along with those two talking about plans and you still being amazed by the fact that you are literally riding on a pony that is walking on a cloud>But alas, like all good things, this too must come to an end as they near Wal?Mare and he goes back to walking on an actual floor, you can only assume the buildings have floors to keep the occupants from falling when it rains or something along those lines>Blue grabs a shopping cart and Orange sets you into the seat, which you're a bit small for but you still fit in and are buckled in>You can't remember the last time you were in this seat, or if you ever were. Most of your memories involving shopping carts have you either standing on the end or in Blue's position with one foot on the bar and the other kicking at the ground to see how fast you could get
>>42570635>It's still nice to see everything going on from this perspective, though, and Blue makes quite a bit of silly faces as he and Orange shop, some of which are just dumb and some of which make you genuinely laugh, sometimes they both apply>The one downside to sitting in this position is you can't see what it is that they're getting, no matter how much you strain your head to see what's in the basket>It might have paid off to listen to these two when they weren't just talking to you, because that's likely when they planned all of this. All you're getting now is idle chatter, silly faces, and occasional questions of "This or this?">Shopping time ends and the cart, including you, is brought up to the register where you spot a Whatchamacallit!>That's right, an actual Whatchamacallit! No punny name, this is a direct bring over from Earth, and with Odin as your witness, you shall have it!>You immediately start stretching towards the mystical Whatchamacallit with hooves outstretched, grunting, making babbling instead of shouting "Hey! Hey! I want that! Gimme THAT! I want that Whatchamacallit! Right there, underneath the Filly Bottle Pops!">"Awww, she's adorable!" you hear the cashier comment, "How old is she?">"We're not too sure, we just found her last night," replies Orange behind you as Blue looks towards where your grabbing>"Found her? That's horrible!">"Yeah, she was just laying outside on the ground, shivering. We don't know who her parents are or where they live." Blue looks back at you then towards the candy, holding a hoof over the Filly Bottle Pop>"If you ask me, you should just keep her. She looks just like you two, his coat, your mane. Besides, if her actual parents just left her outside like that, I don't think they should be allowed to have foals anymore."
>>42570638>"I wouldn't go that far, but... We do hope that we can't find her parents. We never had a foal of our own, but we have wanted one! We even thought of adopting." You rapidly shake your head *No! No! Not that one! Below it!* Blue seems to notice and hovers his hoof over the Whatchamacallit and you quickly nod your head *Yes! Yeeess! Yyyeeeeesssss!* The video is already playing in your head, you are M. Pony>"Well, I'd certainly call this adopting. And that'll be...">"Wait!" It was Blue, HE HAD THE WHATCHAMACALLIT! "Don't forget this.">"Honey, do you really think we should get that for her?">Blue shrugs, "I just can't say no to that face.">"Well, she can have it on me," said the cashier>"Oh, no, that's fine I can pay for it," said Orange>"No, it's on me. Call it a birthday present.">You were too focused on smiling at Blue to hear the rest of the conversation and you could feel your tail wagging on your own... Oh yeah, you have a tail now! How on Ear- Equestria did you forget that?>A tap on the back of your head brought you out of your trance and you turned to the side to see the cashier and that was about as far as you could turn>"And what do you say to the nice mare?">"Thank you" More incoherent babbling>"Aww, no problem." She reached over and ruffled your mane>"You be good for these two, now, and you can consider the debt paid.">Best deal ever.>Orange and Blue put on some saddlebags, which you could only assume had whatever they bought inside of them, and you were returned to Blue's back and given the Whatchamacallit with the top opened>If you never pony squee'd before, you have now, even if you could only gum at the candy bar>That familiar taste was the best thing everhttps://poneb.in/EU4T9iJQ
>>42570646>You're not entirely sure how long it took to get back to the house, but you're here now>The entire trip back, all you can remember is the Whatchamacallit>Once you hear the door close behind you you're snapped back to reality>Or whatever it is you're in now>And you're getting laughed at by both Blue and Orange>"Looks like someone enjoyed their snack.">Based on the amount of emphasis Orange placed on the word 'someone' you can only assume she's talking about you>"Sorry honey," Blue says to Orange still laughing a bit at you, "I didn't think she'd get this messy.">*Messy? What are they talking about?*>Your confusion must be written on your face as Orange quickly heads out of the room and returns with a personal mirror, holding it up for you>If only she knew that in doing so, she almost caused a heart attack>Staring back at you in the reflection was a tiny blue foal, mouth hanging open in sheer amazement, with chocolate all over her face and barely holding essentially an entire Whatchamacallit towards her mouth>I guess teeth really are required to eat candy bars>Your incredibly large eyes are also blue, a shade between your coat and your lighter blue mane>God damn this author is terrible at coming up with ponies, like seriously dude? All blue? Learn to be creative, you bastard>Personal attack against my own person finished....>You drop the candy bar and leans towards the mirror, hooves outstretched>You wanna hold this mirror, you have to know that it's a mirror, there's no way that's you
>>42570651>You weren't always the manliest of men, but.... But this?!>Fortunately for you, Blue catches you with his wing just as you start to fall over>"Whoop, gotchya! You gotta be more careful Anny.">Orange looks to Blue and blurts out, "Can I give her the bath? I know we agreed that you would, but... Oh, honey I just can't stand to leave her side!">Blue smiles at Orange as the wing pushes you back onto the center of his back and you watch the conversation unfold with mild interest, it had been some time since you had woken up, and getting a shower was always the first thing on your to-do list>"Of course. I'll clean up and unload the bags while you do that.">She embraces his neck in a hug and the two kiss>You never knew bath time was so special to ponies>It's a bit strange but you don't get much time to think on the topic as Orange grabs you by the scruff of your neck and eagerly trots to the kitchen and to an opening past it into a small hallway, which is less of a hallway but more of a purposeless room with a door heading outside and a normal door heading to where you can only assume is the bathroom>You inwardly 'Fuck yes' as your assumption proves correct>You're set inside a fuckhuge bathtub that you can't see over the top of, but you're close>Orange turns a knob with her amazingly dexterous hoof and you see water start pouring in from the spout and gradually filling up the water>When the pooling water first touches you, you give a bit of a shriek from how cold it is and scurry to the opposite end of the tub, watching it>Having a full coat of fur may be good for keeping you warm everywhere else, but it only makes cold water ten times worse>Orange seems to notice your plight and turns another knob with a laugh and by the time the water reaches you again it's much more bearable>*Oh praise the maker, they have water heaters!*
>>42570657>You're gently nudged towards the center of the tub by one of Orange's hooves and you look up at her bemused, her back at you smiling delightfully>She waits for the water to fill up before turning it off and getting to work, coating you in two gels from different bottles, you can only assume one for fur one for mane>Of course, she doesn't make it a boring time>It's fucking bath time>You don't make bath time boring>So between all of the scrubbing she tickles your stomach with her nose multiple times, both of you laughing, she gets some of the built up bubbles from all of the shampoo and fashions herself a bubble-beard which you laugh at, and the two of you get in a bit of a playful splashfight after a bit>But bath time is for cleaning, so she does make sure to scrub you well and puts a lot of effort into getting the chocolate off of your face>Overall, you think you wouldn't mind doing it again>Once you're clean and all rinsed, she opens the stopper of the tub and picks you up in a towel, setting you on one laid out in front of the tub to keep you from soaking the floor>*I guess this is why she was so open to the water fight*>She rubs you down thoroughly with the second towel, getting you nice and squeaky clean, then lays you down on your back>Your hooves idly kick at the air as you look up at her confused and she leans in, giving you a quick kiss on the tip of your nose, "I'll be right back, Anny. Just stay right there.">You find yourself giggling from the kiss and nod your head, getting a smile from her before she darts off out of the bathroom, quickly returning with a bag in her mouth
>>42570661>"All right, now just stay like that sweetie," she says as she sets the bag down near you>Curiosity gets the better of you and, while you remain on your back, you still look down to see what she's doing>That's when she pulled out a diaper and set it down, open, near your flank>You instantly started rocking back and forth, trying to get on your legs>"Whoa whoa whoa hey! I don't need that thing!">Garbled words, you really need to stop doing that>"Oh, shhhh, it's okay Anny, just stay on you're back and we'll be done before you even notice!">*I already did notice! And I don't need that thing!*>You eventually manage to rock yourself onto your side and from there you quickly shakily get onto your hooves, plopping back down when you try to turn around>She rolls you over again, "No, come on, just stay there and it'll be over soon, I promise!">You initially decline her offer, but as you see past her blue mane, you spot Blue dragging the blanket from their bed past the open bathroom door>And holy shit, you didn't think you had a bladder that large as a human>*All right... We'll do it your way, for now.*>You stop your struggling and look off to the side while she places the diaper under you and coats the regions with foalpowder then closes up the diaper and picks you up in a hug>"See? Now was that so hard?">You can't close your hindlegs and it feels awkward as all hell, but you shake your head anyway>No one should have to clean that mess you saw, and Blue was a hell of a trooper to give up bath time to volunteer for that>Orange holds you out and smiles, "You're so smart, your parents must have been teaching you a whole lot! Who knows, if you keep up at this rate, you might be able to start going to school before most fillies!">Oh hell no, you aren't doing school again, you served your time and were glad as hell when it was over>The only reason you went to college was for the parties, and from what you saw they more often then not sucked>She holds you close with a single foreleg and heads out of the bathroom and back to the kitchen, setting you down on the table before holding up a hoof, "Stay right there now. You don't wanna fall off and get a boo boo, do you?">As she leaves back towards the bedroom, you meet her half way and go across the table before sitting down, squirming a bit trying to get used to the built-in padding>She eventually comes back with a camera but makes no comments regarding your move, "OKay now, say cheese.">You just look at her as she snaps the camera, blinding you with the flash.https://poneb.in/w19YmD9V
>>42570668>You blink your eyes repeatedly trying to see a different color than white and eventually it works>You're met with Orange lining up another picture and quickly snap your eyes closed trying to prevent being blinded again>Through your eyelids, you see no change in color after a few seconds and peak one open>This is one crafty pony you're dealing with>While your world returns to white, you hear her laughing then feel a familiar embrace>"Sorry sweetie, but you're too cute to not take pictures of.">You feel yourself lifted by a leg and held, blinking your eyes once more to clear your sight>"All right, the sheets should be dried before nightfall." Blue says followed by the sound of a kiss>"Thanks, dear. Here's the camera, the first one is for the poster, the other's for me." You can just hear her grin>He laughs and then another kiss, your vision is finally starting to come back>"Okay, if you say so. I'll try to find time to put some up while I'm at work.">Your vision finally clears and, while you were expecting him to be wearing a suit of some sort after hearing the word work....>He's still just blue with that strange mane that you can't quite put a color on, it reminds you of a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, though. You hope that's not his name>"Thanks, have fun at work, and be safe.">"You too, honey.">Another kiss and Orange looks down at you, "Say bye bye to daddy, Anny.">She assumes direct control of one of your forehooves and waves it for you, putting on a mock voice to say "Bye bye daddy.">He kisses your forehead, "Bye bye Anny, see you soon.">With all of your previous attempts at talking and eating, you figure you'll just give him a smile for the time being, at least you can manage that
>>42570676>Blue heads out the door and Orange follows, still holding you, and waves to him as he flies off to do whatever it is that he does for a living>And with that, it's just you and Orange again>Heading back inside, she sets you on the table once again and makes her way to the stove, "Can Anny guess what I got?" she says trying to rouse your interest>Despite how much you wish it's a steak or some pork ribs, you wouldn't be crossing your fingers even if you still had them>"That's right," she says enthusiastically as she turns around, "A bottle!">*Oh good grief, will this ever end?*>The foreseeable future answers no>She comes and picks you up by the tuft of your neck with her mouth and takes you to the living room, laying down on the couch with you next to her on your back and ties an actual bib on you this time>Glad to see her confidence in you's been boosted by last time>"Now, open up for the train, choo choo!">You're beginning to see why children always have tantrums but open your mouth anyway, just hoping to get this over with as soon as possible>The bottle nipple makes its way into your mouth and you close your mouth, sucking on the bottle, which comes creepily natural to you, and are rewarded with warm milk>While Orange holds the bottle for you, she also strokes your mane gently and hums softly>It's not until you're almost asleep that you realize it's a lullaby>*Son of a...*>Out like a lighthttps://poneb.in/fzBsfA6U
>>42570680>"-think it'd be a great place for the three of you.">Huh? What the hell happened?>"Well, I'll definitely bring it up with him either tomorrow or when he gets home from work.">All right, you were laying on the couch and Orange gave you a bottle and then...>"Speaking of! I can probably even get him a job there so that won't be a problem!">You fell asleep>"Oh my, really?">It's all coming back to you>"Yup! And I'm telling you, the neighborhood is really nice. It's no Cloudsdale, but I think it'd be a lot safer there, at least until she can fly.">You yawn and stretch out your legs, wings fluttering to get some blood flowing back there as well>"Well, it looks like she's about to start flying any day now," you finally make out a distinct voice from Orange followed by two sets of laughter, one hers the other unfamiliar>Finally you open your eyes and see that you're on Orange's stomach and look up at her smiling face>"Enjoy your nap, Anny?">Memories of school talk keep you from answering so she just hugs you and sets you on your back, facing a pink pegasus with a salmon mane that sits across the couch from you and Orange>"Well, good morning sleepy head, welcome back to the land of the living.">You put on a smile while you begin trying to think of how long you were out and look over towards the window>Orange nudges you with her nose and you look up at her, "Say hello to Flyingfish, Anny.">Turning back to the pink pony, now named Flyingfish, you babble to her with the intent of saying "Whaddup homie.">"D'awww, she's so sweet.">Not being able to speak just become an advantage and you giggle at her response
>>42570690>"Well if she's awake then I guess Cotton will be waking up soon, I had better get going.">"Aww, I guess I'll see you later then Flying. Maybe Cotton and Anny can have a playdate at some point.">"Of course, I think it'll be great! Though I'm busy tomorrow, how about the next day?">"Sure thing, see ya later Flying.">You're set down on the couch while the two hug and Orange sees Flying off before coming back and laying around you on the couch>You turn and hug her head and she hugs you with a single leg before grooming your mane>It's just like when Blue did it and you instantly relax while she continues grooming you>When it finally stops you look up at her, slightly annoyed that you can't just be groomed all day and she chuckles at you>*Oh God, I'm turning into one of those spoiled brats*>You make a note to avoid doing that sort of thing in the future>She hops off the couch and picks you up by your neck again and for a moment you wonder if this is going to cause back problems at one point in your life>Probably not since animals on Earth do it all the time>Then again, you can't recall the last time you asked an animal if they had back problems>Putting that out of your mind you find yourself on your back and that Orange is just finishing up with a diaper change>You seriously hope these accidents are only happening in your sleep but you just know that, even if they have been localized to your sleep for the time being, they won't be forever>Orange picks you up again once she's finished, this time with her leg, and carries you through that seemingly empty room where the bathroom is
>>42570694>This time you notice a washboard in the corner and figure this is the laundry room>You're taken outside through the backdoor and, while there's no grass or trees, there is a decent sized white picket fence going around the perimeter of what you can only assume to be the back 'yard'>She sets you down onto the cloud-ground and nudges you, "Go off and play for now, sweetie. Mommy's gotta do the laundry.">You nearly cry as you get nearer to the cloud before finding that you don't fall through it, but instead sink just the tiniest bit into it before being caught by some unnatural force>Fucking magic>Looking around to try and find out what she wants you to play with, you're eventually given an answer when a large, to you, inflatable ball is set down in front of>And of course it's pink>You're a fucking filly>With an internal sigh, you push the ball and start crawling after it, moving around on your pony elbows and kicking with your hindlegs for propulsion>Another chuckle tells that you're making quite the sight of yourself before Orange sets off to do whatever the pony equivalent of laundry is>It's only after you push the ball again that you realize just how mind numbingly boring this is>*How the hell do normal babies find this interesting?*>You chase after the ball again and get around it before pushing it back towards the house>There is only so long that you can do this and you feel your patience wearing thin
>>42570697>As you near the ball, you find that your patience is all but gone and you decide to just lay down on your back, staring up at the sky>The one downside to living on the clouds is that there's no clouds for you to watch up above>Having no clouds or anything to focus on, you decide instead to try and think of how you got here and afterwards a way to get back>Being a pony, especially a Pegasus is neat and all, but this mindnumbing boredness has seriously got to go>And you can't even twiddle your thumbs! I mean, come on!>You groan as no ideas come to mind>And groan some more>And finally you stop>The sun is blocked out by something you can't see>Just a shadow>You squint your eyes and see the form of a pony and as she bends down to you you see that it's Orange>"Something on your mind?" she asks jokingly>A smile genuinely comes across your face as your prison internment is finally over>She picks you up with her mouth and sets you on her back before heading back inside, kicking the ball in with a foreleg and closing the door behind her>You're taken into the living room and set down on the couch with her laying behind you and running her hoof along your side and pulls a book out of nowhere>You try to look up and see what she's reading, but the angle makes it impossible to read a thing>Regardless, her humming combined with the petting helps you relax, but you make sure not to fall asleep this time>Besides, you don't feel particularly tired anyway, so you settle with cuddling with Orange as she planned and pay off the petting with rubbing your head against herhttps://poneb.in/TEPZ2r4s
>>42570699>Every time you start to make yourself comfortable, Orange seems to get uncomfortable with whatever position she's in at the time and keeps shuffling you and herself around on the couch>It's starting to get on your nerves>But eventually she finally stops her shifting and petting you>You look up at her to see why the sudden stop and notice that she's fallen asleep>With Orange asleep and Blue off at work, that leaves you with free reign of the house>Provided you can get off of the couch>You peer over the edge and it's as if you're staring over the edge of a bridge>But a much much shorter distance and there's a hardwood floor rather than water>You turn yourself around and gently nudge yourself backwards until your hindlegs are hanging over the edge of the couch while you do your best to grip the cushion>Easing yourself down takes quite a bit of effort but you eventually make it and are momentarily glad for the padding on your rump>Now that you're on the floor, your plan has run out of steam>The only difference between now and a moment ago is that a moment ago you were nice and comfy on a couch snuggling with a pony>At least the floor is clean, and you briefly wonder if it's because everyone here is living on clouds or because of the impeccable cleaning skills of the homeowners>Your train of thought is interrupted by the roar of a distant monster and you fall back in a startle before noticing it's your stomach>Had it really been that long since you heard your stomach grumble or is everything just much louder for ponies?>Screw it, that Whatchamacallit has to be in the kitchen still, even if it was free you doubt Blue and Orange are the wasteful types
>>42570707>With a clear goal in mind you begin your crawl across the floor towards the kitchen and realize just how small you are seeing everything around you and how long it takes you just to move from one room to the next>The thought of that candy bar assures you that it'll all pay off in the end, though, so you keep your chin up and crawl on>Finally, you pass the finish line into the kitchen and crawl under the table to the refrigerator>*I should probably remember how small I am before making plans in the future*>I can only wonder how you reached that conclusion>The cold white door looms over you like a hulking behemoth>It's okay, you're a college student... Or were one until a day ago>You can figure this out>*CABINETS!*>Your PhD is already paying for itself as you make your way to the nearest cabinet and open it up and see boxes of cereal, lame>Next cabinet has large white containers with the classic hazard symbols on them, likely cleaning supplies>Third has pots, pots are good>You drag out a large pot filled with smaller pots like kitchen-ware nesting dolls>The metal of the pot scrapes against the floor so you move slowly to avoid waking up Orange and work as quietly as you can to get the smaller pots out of it once you reach the refrigerator>The rest is simply placing one pot on top of the next, using the fridge for support>Once you've stacked them as high as you can reach you gulp and climb up, praying to the based god to not let you fall
>>42570709>The based god grants you his based blessing and you reach the top of your mountain, only to find that you're still too short to reach the handle>From your perch, you look around to kitchen to find something to help you make it the rest of the way and you spot the chairs>Based on your very very poor calculations, you think they'll be perfect>Your based blessing continues to preserve you as you make your descent and you reach the floor without incident>Pulling the chair doesn't work so you try pushing it with your head, but it pushes back too hard>Damn you Newton>If Newton's Third Law is giving you trouble, maybe you can use the Second Law to show it who's boss>You back away from the chair a bit and then move to ramming speed and lower your head, wishing you were a unicorn for this>The chair nudges about an inch from the impact and you are relatively unscathed, but your head certainly doesn't appreciate the abuse>As you wait for the minor disorientation to wear off, you spot the pots again and another ingenious scheme comes to mind>POT HELMET!>After more of based god's based blessing, you are now back in position with a pot that covers a pretty good portion of your head>Unfortunately the next smallest was just barely too small to stay on your head so you had to get an oversized one, but it's all cool>Ramming speed is reached again and while this impact is a bit more noisy than the first, your head doesn't hurt at all which is a sacrifice you're more than willing to make>It's hard work to get the chair into position with having to keep switching legs to ram but the pay off is definitely worth it>Now that you have the chair next to your pot cliff, you rebuild it and remake your ascent
>>42570712>Luckily with the lowered seat of the chair, you don't need the pot that's on your head to reach the fridge handle which is great since having head protection is recommended for mountain climbing>Of course they also recommend using cables for it rather than pots, and it's doubtful they'd consider this mountain climbing but fuck them you want your god damned Whatchamacallit>Once on top of the chair you try the handle but find you're just too weak to pull it>Or maybe it's because you've blocked the door with your mountain....>Nah, it's your body's fault not yours, you're too perfect to be at fault>You turn around and sit down to try and think of a new plan, likely involving a crowbar, a rubber band, and a White Snake mixtape>But wait, what's that right over there on the counter?>Is it.... No, it can't be...>But it is! The Holy Whatchamacallit!>Excitement overrides logic and you leap for it>Just because you have wings doesn't mean you can fly>You fall down with a loud crash, destroying your pot steps>And even though you know you've experienced more pain than this, you...>Something comes over you and tears begin forming>You don't know what's happening but you start sniffling>The pools of water turn into streams and the sniffling turns into choked breaths>As you descend deeper into full blown crying, you find yourself wanting to be held more than anything>"Oh my Celestia! What happened?!">You merely wail in response>The bucket is removed from your head and a familiar embrace wraps itself around you>Orange holds you airborn away from her for a moment and the dampness in your eyes prevents you from seeing what she's doing but you know it's her>Even if her voice didn't give it away, no one else in existence has that embrace
>>42570716>"Oh, sweetie! Are you okay?">She turns you to each side before pulling you close to her, your head resting on her shoulder as she rubs your back>"There there, Anny, it's okay, mommy's here...">She leans her head against yours, her mouth just next to your ear>All you can do to thank her for the time being is cry, though>"Shhh, shhh... It's okay, Anny, mommy won't let anything hurt you now...">In this moment of weakness, you know that she's telling the truth>There's no way she could lie to you right now>And that promise alone almost completely dispels the pain of the fall>The crash of the pots>You begin to calm down and she keeps rubbing your back and whispering words of encouragement in your ear>Once you're back to just sniffling she holds you away from her again and while you still can't see any details, you know that you weren't the only one crying just now>"Do you want mommy to kiss the boo boos all better?">*Why God, why can't I say yes?*>You settle with a nod and she begins kissing you all over>At first it's just for the healing touch they offer but as the rest of the pain starts to subside and you wipe the tears from your eyes, you can see that she's turned this from reassurement to playtime>And as her lips keep planting themselves all around your face and stomach, you find their touch ticklish>You try to hold in your laughter but you just don't have that tolerance anymore>A quick giggle escapes from your mouth and you can see that devilish grin in her face once she stops for a moment>There exists nothing that can prepare you for the barrage of kisses you receive and you erupt in a fountain of giggles and flailing>By the time the torture ends, you're pretty sure Hell has frozen over>She sets you on the ground and ruffles your mane before grabbing a pot and putting it on your head>The familiar feeling lets you know that it's your helmet>You smile up at her and she smiles down at you>"Attagirl. Now, play safe while mommy gets lunch ready.">That bitch can read mindshttps://poneb.in/uTxAwUg1
>>42570718>Orange picks up the various pots strewn about the floor and pushes the chair back to the table before opening the fridge for dinner making supplies>Meanwhile, you lay down on your stomach and start crawling around in what you figure would be the pony equivalent of a pony combat crawl>While you're sure you look funny from above, you pretend you're a soldier from back on Earth>You remember you used to do that when you were a kid, but you weren't female at the time>It's the best you got, though, so who cares if you play pretend like a boy rather than a girl>At least you're giving it a shot>You take cover under the table to avoid being spotted from above and take aim with your imaginary rifle>The scope lines up perfectly on a Nazi's head and you wait for your aim to steady>A pull of the trigger has your hooves shooting up from the recoil but you're quick to chamber a second round>But oh no! He was just a decoy!>There's at least five counter-snipers now locking on to you!>You roll to the left and dodge one but get right in the way of another's bullet>You clutch your chest and hold a hoof upwards as you make a death gurgle>The world starts to go white as you slip into death>And at the end of the tunnel is Orange smiling down at you again>"Having fun?" she laughs>You nod your head and smile back before she picks you up and sets you on the table, taking off your helmet pot>A frown comes across your face as you look up at her>"I think Celestia's number one Royal Guard can take a break for lunch.">You're surprised to feel your tail wagging, but you can't deny that you'd make a pretty good royal guard>You can be the Hannibal of Equestria>You're pulled out of your thoughts of battle tactics when you feel yourself lifted up and notice Orange holding you and putting a bottle to your mouth>The swishing of the milk reminds you just how hungry you were before your fall and you're quick to take to the bottle and start sucking on it>Your effort is rewarded with warm milk pouring into your mouth and while it's good, you hope that you'll get some sort of variety in the near future>As you start getting into it, Orange removes the bottle from your mouth and sets it on the table before putting you against her shoulder and patting your back>You know you shouldn't be surprised but you are when you let out a high pitched belch>She pulls you away from her shoulder and smiles at you before you're placed on the table to watch her dine on some greens>Since you haven't had greens since you lived with your parents, you can't place your name on what exactly it is>But it does look familiar>Not that you would want any anyway
>>42570726>You crawl around the table and look over at the counter to the Whatchamacallit and sit down, holding your forelegs out to it making grunting noises to try and get Orange's attention>You fall forward on your chest but you did succeed in getting Orange's attention>"What's up, Anny?">With your focus set on the Whatchamacallit, you hold your hoof out and make more grunting noises and she eventually follows your gaze to the counter>"Oh, you want your candy. Well... I guess you deserve a treat for being mommy's big mare.">Even though that's perhaps the strangest compliment you can ever recall getting, you're still glad to hear it when Orange puts down her food and heads over to the candy bar and brings it back for you>"Just try and get it in your mouth and not on this time," she says jokingly as she holds the chocolate to you>You take it clumsily in your hooves and start gumming at the bar to try and get a solid piece of some sort to actually swallow>Orange returns to her seat and you catch her looking out the window distantly>She appears to be upset and you look down at your chocolate which seems resilient to all of your chewing attempts>You do your best to hold the bar in your mouth with just your gums, and it actually works, as you crawl over towards her and sit down>She snaps out of her day dream and looks at you slightly confused>You take the bar out of your mouth and hold it up to her>"Are you done with your candy bar already?">You shake your head and hold it up to her a bit more, urging yourself upwards for a moment before falling back down>"Is it for me?"
>>42570730>A quick nod is all it takes for her frown to turn into a smile and she takes the Whatchamacallit>"D'awww, thank you Anny!" She takes a bite and chews it for a moment before swallowing>"Mmmmm, that was tasty!">You smile and crawl closer to the edge of the table before doing the best leap you can manage and miraculously land on her lap and hug her>She hugs you back with a single hoof and leans over to kiss the top of your head>You look up at her then try to kiss her chest but end up just drooling on it a bit>She rewards you with petting your back, "I love you, Anny. You're just far too sweet... I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to give you up if we find your real parents.">*Good luck with that, I don't think even they'd recognize me if they saw me now.*>You're held close to Orange's body by her hoof and you hug her to the best of your abilities, enjoying the warm soft feeling of her stomach and just wish you were a bit taller so that you might be able to hear her heart beating while like this>The conversation doesn't move from that point as Orange resumes eating her lunch, and you feel that it likely never will>It's not even been a day and she's already become this attached to you, and in return you find yourself attached to her>Outside you tried to think of how you could get back to where you came from but now... Do you really want to?>Even if you did and had a way of doing so, could you do it to her?>You'd rather not think about these thoughts so you put them out of your mind for the time being to focus merely on the moment>The warm embrace>The affection>Two things you can't say you recall feeling for quite some time before today>Before all of thishttps://poneb.in/kc2C1p7H
>>42570731>The rest of Orange's lunch continues with you two just holding each other and you're pretty sure the holding goes on for some time after>It doesn't bother you, it's far too nice to be upset with more of>But like all good things, it eventually comes to an end when she lifts you up and kisses the tip of your nose>Before you can try and kiss her back she sets you on the table to watch as she puts her plate and glass in the sink and washes them, your bottle and Whatchamacallit in the fridge, and comes back to place you on her back>"Come on, Anny, let's get the bed ready for when daddy comes home tonight.">Even if she didn't mean to bring it up, you feel more than a bit guilty for putting her and Blue through this>The two of you head out the back door and over to a clothes line you hadn't noticed before and decide to ignore how the beams protrude from the clouds>She pulls a white sheet from the line and miraculously manages to fold it before tossing it ontop of you on her back>You yelp as your sight is cut off before recomposing yourself and poking your head out and up at her>Your plan succeeds and she laughs, "Sorry Anny, I'm not exactly used to having passengers back there." She grabs you by your neck and sets you on the ground next to her while she pulls off another miracle and folds the gray comforter and tosses it onto her back>Now it's your turn to be set ontop of something on her back and looking around you feel like a Turkish prince getting a palanquin ride
>>42570744>She nuzzles you before lightly grabbing your mane with her mouth and pulling it so you're laying on your stomach>"We don't want you to fall off there now, do we?">A quick look over the side has you babbling out what should be "Yeah...">She smiles back at you before heading off inside and to the bedroom which is much more illuminated now than you recall>There's the bed without a sheet or blanket that takes up a sizeable portion of the room, two dressers next to each other across from it, a mirror above those, and an end table on either side of the bed>As Orange nears the bed, she puts her side to it and bounces her one side up, sending you, the comforter, and the sheet onto the bed in a large pile and laughs playfully as you flail through the air>By the time you get yourself back upright, you're lifted off the bed by Orange who has taken to hovering above the bed and sets you down on the floor>"Now stay there while I make the bed, sweetie." She sets the comforter on the ground next to you so she can get the sheet on, and you take a seat next to it, watching her>While she goes through the movements of stretching out the sheet across the bed and tucking it in, you realize you can't remember the last time you actually made your bed>At the time, just tossing a blanket onto the mattress was just as good as a perfectly made bed, for you at least>Orange comes and lands next to you, giving you a kiss on the forehead and ruffling your mane before grabbing the comforter and setting it on the bed much like the sheet but without the tucking>With the bed finally done she comes back for you again and sets you ontop of the bed and lays down next to you>"So what do you think? Comfy enough?"
>>42570749>You lay down and... Wow>This bed is just way too comfortable>You hadn't noticed it this morning, but then again you also didn't notice that the bed was drenched this morning>She seems to notice just how comfortable you are and chuckles again, "I guess mommy did a pretty good job of making the bed.">If only you had her back on Earth, you don't think you ever would have left the bed>Suddenly, you're plucked from your comfort zone and held up above Orange, looking down at her>She smiles and quickly lowers her hooves before catching you a couple inches away from your original altitude, "Whoopsie daisies!">*Oh God, it's the Tower of Terror all over again*>Another sudden drop only to quickly be caught, "Whoopsie daisies!">You can feel your heart pumping rapidly, you were never one for these sudden drop thi->"Whoopsie daisies!">You fidget nervously as your nerves get closer and closer to the breaking point>A fourth drop, "Whoopsie daisies!">That chill that was running down your spine a moment ago seems to subside...>Fifth drop>Wait... It's so simple...>You're not in any danger>She catches you every time!>And even if she doesn't, you fell from higher than this onto a mountain of pots earlier today, if you fall from here then you land on her stomach>The realization that there's no danger has you laughing at your thirty seconds ago self>And your laughter has her smiling, "I knew you'd have fun with this!">Sixth drop has you laughing hysterically and she joins in>On the seventh drop, once you're caught she brings you close and hugs you tight>"Did Anny like that game?">Your laughter gives her your answer>"Good! Maybe we can play games with daddy when he's done with work. Would you like that?">You're still laughing at yourself so she takes that as a yes>She begins rubbing your back, "Y'know Anny, you make my days off much more enjoyable.">Wait, her days off? She has a job?>You can't help but try to think of what her job is, and now that you're thinking about that you also wonder what Blue's job is>It shows just how little you know about these two that you can't tell what they do for a living>You don't even know their names>Then again, you have only known them for less than a single day>You take this latest cuddle session as an opportunity to try and think how much people could learn about your former self without the ability to ask questionshttps://poneb.in/tvacj816
>>42570751>It's not too long into your thinking that you give up>You just know way too much about yourself to try assuming a position where you don't know about yourself>The thought process ceasing doesn't stop Orange from rubbing you>You're still chest to chest with her and when you look up at her she starts making a goofy face>Nowhere near as goofy as Blue's back at Wal-Mare, but you still get a brief giggle from it>She leans her head close to yours and kisses your forehead before rolling around and hopping off the bed, leaving you there on your back>As Orange walks away without announcing why, you're left questioning and start rolling left and right to try and get onto your stomach>But by the time you feel like you're about to make it, she's back with the Whatchamacallit and you quickly latch onto it>With Orange's contribution to the inevitable ingestion of the candy bar, you are now rewarded by more than just the chocolate outside when you gum on it>Now, you are blasted with peanut butter and caramel>Oh God, that peanut butter>Oh God, that caramel>Oh God, those peanuts!>Even though you're on your back, your wings still make an attempt to flutter from just how delicious this treat is>You almost hope your teeth never come in so you never have to deal with the cavities you'll inevitably end up getting from all of the Whatchamacallits you just know you're going to be eating>Ponies do get cavities, right?>You don't recall any dentist ponies in the show, but as far as you can remember there were never any episodes emphasizing oral hygiene>You make a mental note to make your first question be if orthodontics exist in Equestria>You instantly forget said mental note as you're hit with another blast of flavor>"Aaaand, all done!">*Huh?*
>>42570763>The Whatchamacallit is taken from your grip and you quickly try to grab at it again but it's too late, Orange has it now>She chuckles and takes a bite of it>"You really do like this, don't you?">Seeing a chance to get more Whatchamacallit in your life, you eagerly nod your head>She shakes her head>"Nuh uh uh, no more for now or you'll spoil your dinner.">*How do you spoil a dinner that consists entirely of milk!?*>Orange walks out of the room and with Whatchamacallit on the line you instantly roll over and watch her leave, spotting a balled up diaper being held by her wing>*Oh. That's what she meant.*>You crawl your way towards the door and by the time you make it as far as you can on the bed, Orange is back and picks you up by the scruff of your neck>She takes you back to the couch and sets you down on it and leans down to nuzzle you>"Wait here, mommy's gonna start a fire so it's warm and toasty for when daddy gets home.">Oh yeah... The living room has a fireplace. You listen to her and sit down on the couch, watching out the window and spotting plenty of Pegasi flying around outside, all doing their own things>*That'll be me someday*>Wait, what? No, you have to get back, but...>Orange comes back in and tosses a log into the fireplace and turns to you with a smile>"A couple more logs and we'll be ready.">You couldn't leave her, it'd break her heart...>And likely your own
>>42570768>As much as you don't like to admit it, she's making a large impression on you>It's not even romantic love, it's just... Unconditional affection>As she heads out, you realize just how quickly the bond developed>The thought of just how much control she has over you is scary but you strangely don't care>In such a short amount of time she's become such a huge influence on you>Perhaps it's because of just how vulnerable you are now>You can't talk, can't walk, can't feed yourself, hell you don't even notice when you go to the bathroom now it seems>And all day she's done everything in her power to keep you safe, fed, and even entertained>The thought comes to mind if you'll develop a bond like this with Blue>If you hadn't experienced it today, you never would have believed it would have happened with Orange, so it is possible it'll happen with Blue provided he gets a day alone with you>Which since Orange apparently works, will likely happen>They can't leave you alone, so obviously it's gotta be one home at a time or another, and you can't imagine either of them would give up their jobs, even for you>Right?>You're snapped out of your thoughts by the couch cushion bouncing you up as Orange lays down behind you, the fireplace lit>It appears you've been thinking for some time>Orange pulls you back against her and this time, your ear is lined up right along her chest>And with only the cackle of the fire making a noise, you hear the beat of her heart>You hear her living>And by God, it's the most beautiful sound you've heard>Like, there was Enya... And then there was the sound of this heartbeat>Whoever managed to perfectly replicate this sound would become world renowned for their contribution to humanity>The same could likely be said for Equestria>You visibly relax as you hear this noise and wonder how fetuses can ever kick when they supposedly get to hear this sound twenty four seven>Just the rhythmic beats>This is what it means to livehttps://poneb.in/VtPmZNP5
>>42570772>You could sit here forever>Listen to this sound forever>The thump-thump is just so hypnotic>You lose track of time as each beat sounds just like the previous and the latter>And before you know it, you hear the creek of a door opening>"Honey! I'm home!">You're far too content to stay here, but Orange makes the decision to go greet Blue for the both of you, quickly hopping off the couch and placing you on her back before rushing to the door to hug Blue>"Hi dear! How was work?">The two kiss and you groggily rub an eye, you may have not have actually been asleep but you might as well have been>"It was good, unfortunately we had go to off looking for some rain clouds for Ponyville but we eventually managed to find some up North.">Ah, so Blue was a weather pony. That explains the lack of any uniform for work>"How were you two today?">She smiles back at you as though the two of you had robbed a bank and were under police interrogation before looking back to Blue>"We had fun.">"Oh? Well I hope it wasn't too much fun, or else I'd have to find someone else to give these to," he says teasingly before drawing forth three tickets>The text is too far to read, but Orange is quick to tell you what they are>"The Wonderbolts?! But... But how? Don't you have work tomorrow?">"The boss gave 'em to me and told me to take the day off, said it was cheaper than giving me a delayed paternal leave.">Orange hugs Blue tight and he hugs her back, taking the opportunity to give your forehead a kiss>"That's wonderful!">She turns back to you and you can see just how happy she is
>>42570782>"Does Anny wanna go see the Wonderbolts tomorrow?">Since Blue already had the tickets and they both looked at you as if seeing the Wonderbolts was the hypest shit, you smile and nod your head exaggeratedly to emphasize the point>As you watch Orange hug Blue tight again, you're glad that you're on her back, otherwise that would have been you getting the hug>And you're pretty sure a hug that tight would break your spine>Once the hug is finished, Orange starts hopping around the living room with you holding on for dear life and you start to question who the foal is in this house>She stops her hopping and grabs you off of her back, holding you up as she lays down>"We're gonna see the Wonderbolts, Anny! The Wonderbolts! I've wanted to see them since I was your age and now I doooooooooo!">Oh God, she's squee'ing again>After that squee you start hearing the world like the beginning of Saving Private Ryan>You don't think you've ever heard anything as creepy as Blue laughing with your hearing like this>Orange pulls you down to her chest and hugs you, fortunately not tight enough to kill you but still pretty damned tight, and you can feel her hindlegs kicking at the air>Blue makes his way around and kisses her cheek>"I knew you'd be excited, but you might wanna let Anny go. Any longer like that and you might suffocate her.">Blue is now your knight in shining armor>Orange lets go of you and holds you up to him>"S-Sorry, it's just... The Wonderbolts! And even better, I get to see them with Anny!">Blue takes you and Eskimo kisses you before holding you with a hoof while he sits on the floor next to the couch>You smile up at him and look over at Orange who seems to finally be calming down>"So.... D-Did you get any flyers up?">He nods and pulls a white piece of paper out and hands it to her>"I did, and I got this for you.">She looks at the paper and starts laughing, holding it to her chest before leaning up and kissing you
>>42570785>"I can't believe I forgot this.">Your interest is now piqued and you start maneuvering your head as best you can to try and see what's on the other side of the paper>Orange notices your interest and turns the paper around and you see a picture of a padded blue foal trying to be crafty and avoid getting blinded by the camera's flash by peeking with one eye squinted open>How did you forget that?>Wait, more important, where was the other picture?>She did take two, you remember that now>Blue disrupts your train of thought>"So, how's about dinner?">You hear a distant monster roaring but are quick to remember it's just your stomach, catching yourself before it startles you a second time today>He smiles down at you>"I think that's a yes from Anny.">Orange rolls off the couch and starts off towards the kitchen>"Right, I'll get dinner, can you prep Anny's bottle?">Blue makes for the kitchen behind her>"Sure thing.">While the prospect of filling your stomach is great and all, you can already foresee developing a hatred of milk by the time you're two>You're placed on the table to free up Blue's hooves while he grabs the bottle from the fridge and starts warming it up over the stove>As is typical for these moments where you're just waiting for something to happen, you let your mind drift off but before you can reach Enlightenment, Blue is backhttps://poneb.in/A7xu4JgQ
>>42570788>A bib is tied around your neck because, as Orange said, they know you can do it>And then you're picked up and held while Blue sits down in a chair and holds the bottle to your mouth>You take it and suck down the warm milk, grateful for something to soothe your stomach but rather upset that it's milk once more>Blue smiles down at you as you drink and you look up at him, unable to smile back>"Man, were you starving the poor girl?">"I wasn't going to let her spoil her dinner.">"How do you spoil milk?">Finally! Someone gets it!>"I'm not setting a precedent of her munching on snacks twenty four seven. Besides, what if her actual parents come to get her and we find out she can't have sweets?">Blue rolls his eyes down at you, "Is that why you're saving that candy bar?">"Hmmph!">He leans in and whispers into your ear, "You can have some of my popcorn tomorrow.">Popcorn?! You're giddy just thinking about it>There's no way you can drink more milk, even if the popcorn isn't until tomorrow you still don't want to be too full for it>Once you stop drinking, Blue pulls the bottle away and you see that you were close to emptying it>It didn't feel like it was that much, but it was definitely more than it would have taken for you to get it down that far from where the bottle was after lunch>He ruffles your mane and sets you on the table before taking your bib off anddropping the bottle off in the fridge, giving Orange a kiss on the way>She turns and smiles, "Dinner's done.">"Great, I'm starved."
>>42570799>She sets two plates down on the table and two glasses of water>On the plates, are sandwiches>Fucking>Sandwiches>At least you have more to look forward to in your life than just eating grass>Still, sandwiches>Not what you had in mind for pony dinners>Though they are a bit too advanced for oats>Blue and Orange both take their seats and go straight to eating>You're left to crawl around as you please on the table and while looking around for something to occupy you, you see Blue offering the sandwich your way>*Can't be any worse than milk*>You crawl towards Blue and as you near he holds the sandwich up to your mouth, glancing at Orange who appears focused on her meal>You put your mouth around as much of it as you can and try to tear a bit off, but alas, you have not grown teeth since this morning>Instead, you pull your gums off the bread of the sandwhich and onto a tomato which easily slips out sending you and it backwards>Fortunately, you aren't crying but you aren't going to be trying to sneak anymore sandwiches for a while>The clamor of your falling does draw Orange's attention though>"Anny!" both of them cry out>Blue grabs you first and holds you close to him and begins checking around your back for any signs of injury>And before you realize what's going on, Orange is at his side, both looking at you>As soon as it's confirmed that you're A-OK, Orange looks over at Blue with an evil look in her eyes>He smiles nervously at her>"You do know what your punishment is, right....">The smile fades and he gulps>"I hope you get a well night's rest tonight, you'll need it.">She turns to go back to her seat and you're set on the table while he wipes the sweat from his brow, looking down at you>"Guess we're busted, Anny.">You look up at him and nod, "Yup."
>>42570806>Even though you can't talk, you're pretty sure he caught your meaning and goes back to eating>You go over to the tomato slice to still get your prize>But before you can get what amounts to a bite for you, it's snatched away>"Nuh uh uh, there's germs on that now Anny.">Damnit, they're already onto microbiology!>Orange takes the tomato slice to the sink and opens a cabinet, tossing the tomato slice into it and closing it before returning to her meal>Now you're left with nothing to do. No Whatchamacallit, no sandwich, not even a tomato slice!>You sit down and cross your forelegs and pout, for once realizing that your diaper's wet>The realization makes you groan>To get your mind off of how bored you are, you begin crawling around the table and manage to get some laughs from the otherwise silent eaters>If only people knew how to do that>All through school, there was always at least one kid that chewed with his mouth open and it annoyed you to no end>These two barn animals are more sophisticated than that kid>You get a slight giggle from that>You return to doing laps until Blue eventually stands up, "Done. Mind if I give her her bath tonight?">Orange smiles, "Not at all. I'll clean up here when I finish and come in once I clean up.">Blue walks around the table and kisses her, "Thanks.">He then grabs you and puts you on his back>"Hold on tight, Anny! It's gonna be a bumpy ride!" he says playfully and you quickly get on your stomach and do your best to hold on for dear life>He starts lightly bucking around while on his way to the bathroom, making bull noises>"Hi ho Silver!" you babble
>>42570811>When you finally reach the bathroom on your mighty mount, he ceases his bucking and sets you down on the floor on your back>He smiles down at you and turns the tub water on then comes back over you>A grin creeps across his face>Oh God no, you're exposed>And just as the realization comes he dives down and begins blowing raspberries onto your stomach>You instantly flail your limbs around, giggling like mad>He comes up for a quick breath then is right back down>There is no reason for this to be so ticklish but it is>Third burst!>He stops now and you get some time to catch your breath as he kisses your forehead>He looks over at the tub then reaches down to take your diaper off, tossing it into the waste basket before grabbing you and placing you into the half-full tub>You're glad that this time the water is warm when you first come into contact with it>"Fwoooosh!">Before you have a chance to find out why Blue is making noises, a large cup of water is poured over your head>You're left dumbfounded, staring into space as he does it again>When you look up at him, he smiles and applies some gel to your mane and begins lathering it in>You cross your eyes looking upright as you feel him messing around with your mane but can't see what he's doing>Once he's done he shows you, though, brandishing a mirror and holding it up to you>You now have a soapy mohawk>This is amusing>You giggle at this and he joins in>He pulls the mirror away and suddenly more water is being poured on your head, washing away the mohawk
>>42570817>Now Blue begins lathering another gel into your coat>And then rinses you off again>While shaking your head out, you spot Orange coming into the bathroom>"Is she all clean?">Blue turns around and nods, "Yup. She just needs to be dried off and dressed and she'll be ready for bed.">You lean to the side to see past Blue to Orange and when she spots your gaze she waves>He seems confused until he turns around and spots you leaning then smiles and lifts you out of the tub>"All right, squirt. Let's get you dried up and dressed.">You're set down on the floor and your vision quickly becomes white with grey blobs as a towel is dropped over you>You can only assume it's Blue who's drying you off as this is a bit rougher than when Orange dried you off in the morning but it's not hurting at all>After being sufficiently scrubbed and patted down, color returns to your world and you're quickly set on your back where Blue seems to be trying to set a world record with diapering you>And succeeding>But once the diaper's on, he doesn't seem to be finished as you feel your hooves being engulfed in a soft fabric>Unfortunately you never took whatever class you'd need in order to identify fabrics so you just know it's a soft fabric>Then you hear a zipping noise and look down to see that you've been dressed in a pink blanket sleeper>Before you can protest, if you could, you're scooped up and given a kiss on the forehead>"Great pick, it fits her perfect!" exclaimed Orange>"Thank you. I didn't want her shivering so much like she was last night when I came in, so I figured I'd get her something warm. Apparently she's not used to Cloudsdale weather.">Blue sets you on his back and the two kiss before heading off to the bedroom>The whole trip you spend fidgeting, trying to get used to wearing something after being essentially nude all day>Or maybe it's less to do with the fact you're wearing clothes and more that you aren't used to having so much hair, or fur now, under clothing>Either way, it feels weird>Once the three of you are in the bedroom, Blue hops up and places you in the middle of the bed on your back and lays down to your right with Orange taking the left>They both lift the sheet and comforter and cover all three of you under the two>Then they roll onto their sides and hug each other and you>"Sweet dreams you two.">"G'night.">*G'night...*https://poneb.in/Bu0Q9x25
>>42570820>You aren't entirely sure of any details>All you know is that something had you afraid>Terrified, even>Something in the dark>"Anny? Are you all right?">Despite the fact that you now have fur and are wearing a sleeper, you shiver>"Anny? Come on, girl...">Is someone watching you?>Or perhaps something>"Anny! Wake up!">Light consumes the darkness and you feel warm>You open your eyes, Blue is standing over you nudging your stomach with his snout worriedly>You hug his head and he's visibly relieved>"Phew... That must have been some nightmare, eh?">You try not to think about it>He settles with giving you a kiss on the forehead and lifts you out from under the blankets>Then the sleeper comes off and you're back to just your fur and a diaper>Blue tosses the sleeper over onto a drawer then comes and puts you on his back>You latch onto him in a hug and he tossles your mane, smiling>You smile back>The two of you head out of the bedroom and to the kitchen, where Orange is coming in from the bathroom>She seems distracted, running a brush through her mane and is about to say something when she spots you>"Oooh! Good morning, Anny!" she says in a sweet tone>She comes up and nuzzles you and you sit up to hug her snout>"You're up early, sweety">"I think she had a nightmare, she wouldn't stop fidgeting and just looked terrified.">You close your eyes and shake your head, trying to block out the few memories you have of it>"Awww, poor thing.">Orange lifts your head up with her snout and you open your eyes>"Don't worry, mommy and daddy will fight off any monsters.">While you doubt they could do anything to make that dream any better, her reassurement does help quite a bit and you smile
>>42570824>You feel Blue come in from the side to nuzzle you>"That's right, no monster's gonna scare my baby without a fight.">The three of you just share the moment together in silence>It's ultimately Blue who ends it>"Well, I should probably get her in the tub before she gets diaper rash. I'll take a bath with her too, save some time. Can you make breakfast?">"Sure thing, honeybunch.">They kiss and Blue takes you off to the bathroom>Before he sets you on the floor, you see that the tub is already filled with water and that there's a wet towel hanging up to dry, leading you to the conclusion that Orange just got done her bath>The tapes are undone and the diaper is thrown away before you're lifted into the tub and Blue comes in to join you, but not before grabbing something from the sink>*Oh snap is that...*>Quack quack!>Mother fucking rubber duck>Blue drops it and it begins to bob around in the water>"You play with that for now, Anny, while I clean us both up. He tossles your mane again before getting to work with the gel first on himself>You take him up on his offer and boop the duck, causing it to quack which in turn makes you giggle>This shouldn't be this funny but now it is>Because reasons>You keep up playing with the duck, even getting into the habit of playing a babbling version of Peek-a-boo with it before Blue gets your attention again, holding the cup up to you>By now he's rather well lathered up, almost completely white with suds>"You wanna get daddy back for last night?">You grin and grab the cup, he holds onto it to keep it steady, and he lowers his head so it's easier for you to pour it over his head and laugh>"Gah! I'm blind!" he cries out playfully and you cheer for his performance>"Oh, don't worry, Anny. Your time is coming up soon enough," he grins before setting to work lathering you up now>You give him some difficulty, not giving up so easily on playing with the duck but before you know it, you're covered with water again>You look up at him pouting and he laughs, kissing your head before giving you a second rinse>Blue gets out of the tub and starts to dry himself off, leaving you to play with the ducky some more>Alas, time flies when you're having fun and you're soon lifted out of the tub to be dried as well>Before you're too far away, though, you grab onto the duck with your mouth and once he lays you on your back to be rediapered, you quack it at him and he errupts in a fit of laughter>As he recomposes himself, you pull the duck out of your mouth and have a staring contest with it, pulling it closer and away from your face>Have you really fallen so low so quickly that you're actually playing with a rubber duck?>It does beat the alternative of doing nothing>Just barely>"Aaand done! Now, let's go get some grub, sweetie."https://poneb.in/5vAgXY9a
>>42570827>You hold onto the duck as Blue lifts you up and onto his back>"Looks like someone made a new friend.">You change your focus from the duck up to him and smile, giving a nod>He returns the smile and the two of you are off to the kitchen>While idly getting a feel for actually holding something with your hooves, a smell you have not smelled for quite some time breaks your concentration>Sniff.... Sniff....>*God damnit, what is that?*>Still no progress>*Whatever it is, it smells goo-*>Even with the scent warning you, you were not prepared>You haven't been met with this for years>It is....>"Pancakes!">Blue's exclamation is correct and he is quick to rush both you and him over to the table, setting you down at your usual seat of on the table>Orange merely smiles happily seeing the two of you so eager>"I figured since you two were taking a bath, I had enough time before you got out.">The best of all of this isn't so much that pancakes are a thing in Equestria>But you even have your own pancake>That's right, it's not milk, it's not the Whatchamacallit, it's good ol' fashioned pancakes>You're giddy at the prospect>Delicious golden cakes straight from the pan>Amber butter dripping over the sides but not sogging the cake>And a thin even coat of butter for flavor>You don't care how this was done with hooves, maybe the universe just felt like giving you this one>You thank the universe
>>42570841>Unfortunately, Orange doesn't seem to trust you with a fork or knife yet, so while Blue more than happily digs into his pancakes, nearly picking the entire top one up and taking chunks from it, you must wait for the agonizingly slow process of Orange cutting the pancake into small bites and feeding you>And after every mouthful, she dabs around your mouth, and a couple times your stomach, with a napkin>By the time you're finished a quarter of your much smaller pancake, Blue is already on his third and final, Orange just starting her second>Throughout the course of the breakfast, Blue repeatedly compliments Orange on her cooking and the two discuss how fun today is going to be>You've been to a Blue Angels show before so your expectations are a bit low>Though Orange hasn't seen jet engines before so that probably explains her excitement>Once Blue finishes his pancakes he offers to take over feeding-duty to let Orange finish hers and she accepts>Blue is much more playful, "Open wide for the choo choo train, choo choo!">He's also less liberal on the napkin but after a few mouthfuls you begin to feel the syrup building up>Orange scolds him and quickly resumes napkin detail, though takes the middle ground and let's Blue keep feeding you>Meanwhile you just laugh at Blue's antics, smile happily, and every so often hug the duck>That seems to get them to D'awww>You feel like Pavlov>That makes you think>How far have they gotten into psychology here in Equestria?>Maybe you can make a living selling psychological principles from Earth here>Though you doubt severely that anyone will bother explaining such information while you don't even seem to recognize when you need to go to the bathroom>"All done!" Orange says in that stereotypical motherly voice>She pinches your cheek, "Did Anny like her pancake?">Knowing exactly how to deal with this you just smile and nods your head enthusiastically to get her to let go then hug her hoof before she can pull it back>Cue group D'awwww>*Hook, line, and sinker*https://poneb.in/q4yu0wWZ
>>42570846>"All right, I'd better clean up. Can you get a bag ready?">"All ready on it.">Orange smiles and receives a kiss from Blue before he comes and sets you on the floor>Evidently you are now worthy of roaming the house instead of just sitting on the table>Blue heads out of the room to 'get a bag ready' and Orange begins moving the plates over to the sink and washing them>You pass the time by just sitting and watching, not having much to do yourself>Once Orange seems about finished, Blue re-enters with a couple of saddlebags and popping out of the one you can see two bottles>Your imagination fills in what the other is for>As he nears you, though, he reaches into the one bag and pulls out a pacifier, popping it into your mouth before you can babble a complaint>After looking confused for a moment you take a suckle on it and.... Holy shit, this is... Pretty relaxing>Blue smiles while you no doubt appear astounded by this discovery and continue suckling away on the pacifier>"Heh, looks like she certainly enjoys it. Told ya the Daring Doo one was good.">Oh right, that Indiana Jones clone... There's your reading material for childhood>"I still think we should have gotten the Barn'a Bee one. Daring Doo just seems far too dangerous.">"Relax, she's too young to know the difference anyway.">"I guess... Well, shall we get going? I don't wanna be late to THE WONDERBOLTS!">Orange squees once more, this must be the pony equivalent of a fangirl>If you're lucky she won't try to kidnap one of the Wonderbolts>If she does, you may just have to find new adoptive parents
>>42570859>Blue laughs at her and puts you on his back before heading to the door>"Let's just hurry up and get there before I have to take you to a hospital.">She giggles and hugs him before the three of you head outside>Once outside, Blue stretches out, opening his wings and even though you're about to fly you just cannot stop being calm with this fucking pacifier>They must be demon magic in it or something>"Wait wait wait! Should we be flying with her?">You turn to see Orange looking concerned to Blue and he smiles back at her>"I can hold her if you'd like. If we don't fly, we won't get good seats.">"Well.... I guess so, I'll fly under you just in case though!">He hugs her>"Don't worry, I'll be careful.">He wins her over, but she still looks concerned, even as he grabs you and holds you close to his chest>And your ear has found that spot from Orange's chest>His heartbeat>It combined with the pacifier outdoes any massage possible, you have become Buddha>The flapping of wings has you turn your head, because even as relaxed as you are, you still wanna see what it's like to fly>You feel the moment that Blue lifts off the ground before you see it>Then you see it and you get further and further from the ground>Despite how much you wanna look down to see just how high up you really are, when you begin to lean forward you chicken out and quickly latch back onto him>Still, you can see quite a bit from this position, what you can only assume to be the suburbs of Cloudsdale down below, all of the ponies looking like ants>And considering your new size, that's saying something>Then when you look ahead, you see the actual city of Cloudsdale and damn is it impressive
>>42570862>If you hadn't seen it in the show, you wouldn't think it'd be possible, that you were hallucinating>But there it is! And off to the side, you see a large bowl, the Colosseum>Blue makes a b-line straight for it, heading for the base on the outside, slowing as he nears the ground>As he approaches, you can see a series of turnstiles with ponies in uniforms outside of them, checking tickets>After about five minutes of flight, Blue and Orange land and you are returned to your post on Blue's back while Orange pulls the tickets out of the saddlebags>The doormen seem far too occupied for small chat as your tickets are merely checked and passed right on through>As Blue and Orange walk down the corridor, Orange keeps going on about her hopes for what tricks the Wonderbolts perform today>Blue makes a remark about his curiosity regarding the food here and Orange gives him a light, playful, nudge remarking how all he thinks about is food>They both laugh and the three of you exit the tunnel and, looking past Blue, you see a huge expanse between this side and the other side of the Colosseum>It looked so much smaller from above but now that you're down here it's just massive>They turn their heads up and behind looking for seats>"Wait, there's some right there!">Orange points out a spot in the benches about three levels up and the two make a break for it before anyone else can steal the lucrative spot>Once they secure the spot, Blue takes you off his back and sets you next to Orange between taking a seat on your other side, keeping you boxed between the two>Once secured, you look up and around to see the crowds of ponies behind you>That's a lot of ponies>And yet there doesn't exist a single black and red one>Looks like all of those angsty OCs never made it to Equestria>You turn back to the performance area and see a single cloud descending in the middle of it>"Shhhh, it's starting!">Orange covers Blue's mouth and the arena all calms down in preparation for the eventhttps://poneb.in/snED2M4q
>>42570864>"Mares and gentlecolts!">A finely dressed pegasus stands on the cloud and you're pretty damned sure that there's some magic going on here to amplify his voice because you see no actual means of doing so>"Welcome to the Air Show! Today, you will see feats of speed, agility, and just plain bravery!">Orange cannot stand still with all of the excitement building up, Blue pulls you a bit closer to him in a hug so you likely don't get slapped when she finally explodes>"And now! The moment you've all been waiting for!">And just as he says those words, six blue blobs go shooting up around him, leaving blue trails behind them and everyone, yourself included, looks up to see "The Wonderbolts" written with the same blue trails>Orange can no longer contain herself and jumps out of her seat, her forelegs flailing everywhich way as she says the only made up word she can repeatedly, "Ohmygawsh ohmygawsh ohmygawsh!">You aren't quite at her level, but you're still pretty amazed, and you know it shows on your face>It's showing on everyone's face, all of them still looking up>The next hour was a blur of tricks and displays, some of which even impressed you>Then the Wonderbolts needed a break and they brought out Flight School students to do what can only be described as flying ballet>Blue leaned down and pointed at them, "That's gonna be you in a few years sweetie.">Orange was off in the bathroom at that moment>When she came back, the three of you continued watching until their ballet was over and a bunch of pegasi begin dragging clouds out with trees and such on them and most of the crowd left their seats for the time being>You three also left to go get some drinks and snacks>And just like Orange said the previous night, Blue had to carry them all>You got back rather quickly and were able to get better seats than you initially had and Orange and Blue seemed happy for it>While they chewed on caramel apples, Blue gave you a lick of his and you were giddy from the taste of the caramel and Orange gave him a light slap telling him to stop spoiling your appetite
>>42570880>Once they were finished it was time for your bottle and you just closed your eyes during it, not wanting to deal with seeing anyone seeing you>Even if none of them knew that you were, mentally, way too old for this, you still didn't feel like being embarrassed>Somehow it was much different out in public>What did that say about your relationship with Blue and Orange?>You don't get to think about it long, a play starts where they make lots of use of flying, and unlike the ones you were used to seeing, this one was three dimensional>While you watched Orange and Blue ate popcorn and drank what you could only assume to be some sort of soda>Unfortunately Blue learned his lesson and didn't offer you any>They got about an hour out of the play before it ended and everyone cheered, you clapped your forehooves together and babbled and the other two just went on about how cute you were>Once the play was cleaned up, the Wonderbolts came back out and cracked some jokes before getting back into doing the tricks and such>This lasted a surprising three hours with them occasionally bringing in random ponies from the audience and at one point bringing in a pair of Griffons>By the time it was all over, Orange seemed tired out and for once Blue was actually full, unable to finish the last bits of his popcorn bag>They sat up and went off to the bathrooms, you were brought with Orange to the Mare's room where a bunch of crying babies had her preemptively put your pacifier in before changing you>That sweet sweet pacifier>She did her business with you still sitting on the table, and was surprisingly quick, especially for a female, and then the two of you met Blue and then head outside where there are a lot of waiting chariots>These are the pony equivalents of taxis and they paid to be taken back to their house>And upon arriving at home, they both just plopped down onto the couch, cuddling with you in between them>That was nicehttps://poneb.in/9tjzB036
>>42570883>After a few minutes, Blue ruins the moment with a loud burp>Orange joins you in giggling at him before giving him a playful push>"You're such a pig.">"Does that mean we can buy our own bakery? You said we could when pigs flew!">She laughs at him then challenges him, "All right, then. Go ahead and fly, piggie.">He stretches out and gets off the couch, and the moment he does you find yourself missing the slice of bread from the cuddle sandwich>He makes a show of opening his wings and flaps them twice, faking a face of intense effort before resigning with a sigh, "Fine, you win for now, but I'll get you tomorrow!">You and Orange laugh at him again>"That reminds me, our little Anny has a playdate tomorrow.">"Oh, does she now?">"Yup, I'm taking her to Fish's tomorrow so she can play with Cotton.">Blue looked a bit confused for a moment before shaking the thought from his mind>"Something wrong, honey?">"It's nothing... I just think she babies that boy just a biiit too much.">"What do you mean?">"It's nothing, I'm sure they'll have fun together.">She looked at him sadly, prompting him to come up and nuzzle her>"Come on, let's get Anny out of that thing before it crawls away itself.">You don't wanna look down, and for once you actually mean it when you typically say such things>Blue picks you up by the scruff of your neck and sets you down on the floor>Compared to the nice warm pony you were just cuddling against, the floor's pretty damn cold and you shiver a bit>"It's all right sweetie, it's just for a moment."
>>42570896>You look up at him and he smiles reassuringly, so you close your eyes and think of hot things to get your mind off the cold>Volcanoes are pretty hot, though dragons tend to hang around there>Does Equestria have a Bahamas equivalent?>That'd be pretty warm>Might be hot with all of this fur>Fire is also hot, how often are forest fires in this world?>While you try to think of all of the circumstances that could cause a wildfire, the coldness on your back vanishes and you're returned to Orange>"So, should I go get dinner ready?">Blue shakes his head negatively, "None for me, thanks. I think I'm gonna go lay down.">"I can't believe it, in all of the years we've been together, you've never turned down a meal.">"And you've never seen The Wonderbolts.">The excitement has yet to burn out as she squees at their mention again>"I know! Today was amazing! We have to go see them next time they come by!">"We'll see, but enough for now. I'm gonna go get some sleep. G'night my two silly fillies.">Orange giggles while you take offense for a moment before remembering that you're female again>He leans down and him and Orange kiss each other on the lips before he gives you a kiss on the forehead and tousles your mane>Orange leans her head down near your head and says lowly, "Say nighty night to daddy, Anny.">"Nighty night da-" Wait what?>Blue smiles, "Night night, princess." Then he heads out, presumably to the bedroom
>>42570900>You don't really notice it, though>You almost actually called him daddy>Not literally, what you said was incoherent babbles, but still>You had to keep a clear head here. Until you picked up their names, they were Blue and Orange>Your actual parents were.... Son of a bitch>You close your eyes tight and concentrate, thinking hard>Trying to remember your childhood, your teenage years, anything>But whenever you think of your parents, in any memory>It's just... Blurred out faces>You start to cry, and in doing so you finally realize that you're in the kitchen now>"What's wrong, Anny?">Orange moves her face right in yours, her worries painted all over her face>Alas, it does nothing to ease the pain>You forgot your parents, for Christ's sake!>The first two full faces you likely ever saw!>You can remember your roommate's ugly mug, but not your god damned parents' faces>"It's okay, sweetie! It's okay!">Her words might as well be ants trying to stop a tsunami>She vanishes for a moment and returns with a bottle>"Is Anny hungry? Hungry?">She presses the nipple of the bottle to your mouth and you slap it away, turning around and laying down on the table>You hear her starting to sob and you wish you could stop, but you can't>The tears keep flowing and she quickly picks you up and runs into the bedroom>"What's wrong?" Blue asks after almost getting his face slammed by the door>"She won't stop crying! You left the room and she looked confused and by the time I got her to the kitchen she was crying!">Your vision's pretty much completely blurred by tears at this point but you can tell that he's looking between the two of you confused>"I think she wants to be with her daddy...">You do wish you could be with your dad again>You hate how much you'd groan when he'd wake you up at 4:30 to go fishing with him>You'd do anything to go fishing with him one last time now>You're transferred from Orange to Blue>"All right, I'll take her to bed with me. Enjoy your dinner, honey.">"I'll try...">She exits the room and closes the door, it's now just Blue, you, the bed, and a dark room>And lots and lots of filly tears>He takes you over to the bed and sets you down before getting in himself and lays down next to you, holding you>"There there, Anny. Daddy's here.">The way he says it.... It almost... Almost sounds like something you've heard before...>You look up at him and see....>You see your dad>You begin to come down from the crying>"There you go. That's daddy's big girl.">He wipes the tears from your eyes>You can't tell nor do you care if its with hands or hooves>You rest your head against him and sniffle>He leans down and kisses the top of your head>"Sweet dreams, Anny. Don't let the bed bugs bite.">As you drift off, you're positive that no bug biting you will be able to ruin your sleep.https://poneb.in/WDM2W4nW
>>42570904>The next morning, you wake up hearing a familiar voice saying, "Good bye sweetie, I'll be back by dinner.">You roll onto your side, yawning and go back to sleep>One good thing about this new life is you don't have to worry about anything, which means plenty of sleeping in>When you next wake up, you groggily open your eyes and see the floor before you bobbing along>As you try to stop walking, you realize you're being carried, by the scruff of your neck again>You groan and wait until you're eventually set down on the kitchen table>The light peering in through the window tells you its early>"Well, good morning Anny!">You and Orange have very different tastes in mornings>A good morning for you is one that you've slept past>"Feeling all better after sleeping with daddy?">*Dadd- Oh right...*>Last night comes flooding back to you>You called Blue daddy>That's not even dad>The worst part is....>By the end of the night...>*I actually meant it...*>Something last night just ticked>These weren't strangers anymore>They were... Your parents, for the time being>But they were still Blue and Orange, damnit!
>>42570913>No more of that daddy nonsense, and an early stop to the mommy nonsense as well>"Aaaand, all done!">You come back to reality and look up at a smiling Orange>These random trains of thought are really convenient>Probably the only things keeping you sane at this point>Orange sets you upright and hands you a bottle>"Can Anny hold her bottle all by herself?">The thought never came across your mind until you looked at the bottle then down at your own hooves>*Well.... It can't be that hard, can it?*>You reach forward and try to grab the bottle by conventional methods, lifting it up>Well, you lift your hooves up, the bottle remains in place>"Awww, that's okay, you got plenty of time to get the hang of it!">She picks you up and sits down, cradling you while she brings the bottle up and you do the usual sucking on it>And while you feed, you come to realize that despite how glamorous not having to do anything is, having to still wake up in the morning and having nothing to do is rather boring>You actually start to look forward to your 'playdate' today>Hopefully your new friend isn't teething>You'd hate to be the unwanting recipient of another foal gumming on you>The nipple coming out of your mouth and you being turned around with your back being patted snaps you out of your thoughts>The sound of you burping is somehow too much for you and you burst into a fit of giggles>This in turn results in Orange giggling at you>"Silly filly.">She sets you down on the table and begins her breakfast, a bowl of cereal>"So, is Anny looking forward to meeting Cotton today?">"As a matter of fact, I was just thinking about that.">Of course, the reply is just babbles but you mainly answered just for your own amusement>That can be your new thing>Orange smiles and leans forward to nuzzle you>"I can already tell you're gonna be such a talker, Anny.">You aren't exactly sure on the whole nuzzling thing and just hug her head>She pulls her head back and laughs>"Oh no! Anny's caught my face!">The two of you laugh as she pretends to struggle>After a few minutes of playing, she takes you off of her head and sets you back on the table to resume her breakfast>While she eats, you try to learn how picking things up with these hooves work>Looking at her, it looks like she's doing nothing different than you tried with the bottle>Except she's pulling it off with a spoon>By the time she finishes, you can't find out how she's doing it>*Fucking magic.*>"All right, let's get you all cleaned up to visit Cotton!">Wait, that's happening now?>You look over at the window and the sun already seems to be much higher>Then you remember your in Cloudsdale and assume that morning up here starts later than down on the ground>Yeah, that'll work
>>42570916>She takes you over to the sink and begins wetting a rag and dabbing on your face and rubs where the dabs aren't enough>By the time it's all said and done, you're pretty sure your face is just a ball of fluff>"Now then, we're all set. Let's not keep Cotton and Fish waiting.">You're set on Orange's back and the two of you set off, leaving the house and trotting down a suburban Cloudsdale street>Then she turns towards one of the hundred identical houses and knocks on the door>And then that salmon maned mare opens the door>"Hey Flying!... Anny, say hi to Flying.">"Hey there Fishie fish.">She gets her face real close to you and says in that annoying voice mothers use with other people's children, "Well hello, Anny. Nice to see you again.">Flying picks her head up and addresses Blue, "Cotton's in the living room, why don't you take Anny there and then we can talk in the kitchen.">"Sure thing!">Orange heads for one side of the house while Flying heads for another, and soon you find yourself in a much more conventional living room than the one you had gotten used to the past two days>And in a carpeted pen in the center of the room, there sits a foa- Wait...>That's way too large to be a foal>It's not quite an adult, but it should be old enough to not be wearing that diaper>And especially old enough to not be idly playing with blocks while the diaper's obviously been peed in>Orange sets you down in the pen and looks over at the white pony with the black mane>"Hey Cotton! This is Anny!">The now-identified Cotton turns around, "Oh! Hi- Oh my Celestia! A foal!">He instantly gets up and runs over and hugs you tightly>Orange chuckles, "Looks like you two are gonna play well. We'll be in the kitchen if you need us.">Cotton doesn't respond, still hugging you>"A-All right now, Cotton... You can let go...">He blinks and looks at you>"You can talk?">"You can understand me?"https://poneb.in/bYXUEc9a
>>42570922>The two of you looked at each other, shocked, for at least a full moment>But then Cotton's face turned into a knowing grin and you couldn't help but squeak>"Isn't this the greatest thing ever?">"Wh-What do you mean?">It's only at this point that you realize just how much larger Cotton is than you>"You get a second chance, and not only that, but as a cute widdle fiwwy!">"A what?!">"Come on, you have to be loving this. You get to wear diapers all the time, nurse from a bottle, and best of all nobody thinks you're weird because of it!">"WHAT!?">Oh God.... You'd seen these types before...>"Oh, if only I could have been reborn as a filly... Then I'd think I was in Heaven...">Diaper fetishists>Even though he smelled way too much like baby powder, you swore you could smell the sweat that used to hide under his fat rolls as a human>You look down and see that even as a colt, he's fairly chubby>He probably had a fat fetish too and is trying to grow up into his OC>You're pulled close against him as he hugs you, too tight for comfort again>"Oh, we're going to be best friends Anny! And then, when we grow up, we can get married!">OhgodohgodohgodwhatwhatWHAT>Apparently five years as an infant isn't enough to wash away your previous self, and while it isn't too calming now you're sure it'll calm you down next time you almost call someone mommy or daddy>You start pushing against him, trying to get out of the hug, but either he's too strong or you're too weak>"What's wrong? I'm sure that we'll get along like two diapered peas in a crib-pod.">With your physical strength limited, you resort to wit, "L-Listen, as much as I would just loooove to marry you and, uhhh... Grow up with you and such, I think we should just be friends. I just got out of a relationship and things are a little hectic in my life right now.">He tilts his head, looking down at you>"What's baby Anny trying to say? Is Anny saying that she's not a real pony, but a h-hoomin? Cotton doesn't know what a hoomin is, maybe mommy does~.">Oh fuck, you hadn't thought about that>Does Equestria even have a science program?>Better not risk it>"Fine, you win... I'll be your little pony 'waifu.'">He bursts into a fit of triumphant giggles and claps his hooves together>"This is going to be so great! Now I won't ever need to grow up, you can feed me, take care of me, change my didees! I won't need to be a filly, my special somepony will treat me like one!">As he goes on, you turn towards the kitchen, really wishing someone in there would start paying attention
>>42570930>You're pulled back into his hug as he starts kissing your head then lets go>"Wanna pway wiff some blockies?">You roll your eyes, "Sure thing.">It's no wonder these people often failed to have children>It's a real wonder how they aren't on the registered sex offender list>Does Equestria have one of those? If not, you're making it your quest to make one and put this guy as number one on it>The sudden impact of a sharp corner on your head knocks you backwards and snaps you out of your thoughts>"Pway bwockies wiff me!">Oh God, he's gone full chimp-mode>You reach up to rub the impacted area on your head and when you pull your hoof back you see a trace of red on your blue fur>And while you were perfectly fine before now, somehow...>Tears begin to well in your eyes and you sniffle>As much as you'd like to not get caught crying in front of this sicko, you can't help it>The floodgates begin to unleash as you let out a loud wail>Finally, those two in the kitchen seem to snap out of their coma and come into the room, Orange leading the way>"Anny! What's wrong!">It takes Orange about a second to be in the pen, holding you closely and cradling you>"Oh my Celestia! What happened?!">Fish comes up right behind her>"What's wrong with her?">"She's bleeding!">Fish immediately looks over at Cotton while Orange continues to try and comfort you>"What? I didn't do anything, mommy! She dropped the block on her head, I swear!">While you can't see it through the blur that is your tears, you're positive Fish isn't believing Cotton>She sighs and comes over to you and Orange, looking down at you>"Is she all right?">Orange nods before depositing a pacifier into your mouth, and you quickly take the sucking on it>It's definitely helping you calm down>"Yeah... It looks like it just broke the skin...">"Listen, I understand completely if you don't wanna bring her around here anymore...">"But mommy!">Fish turns around and harshly shouts, "Shush Cotton! Go sit in the corner until I say you can come out!">You wince at the sudden shouting and Orange is quick to come down and give you a reassuring kiss on the forehead>"It's fine, Flying... Though I think I will take you up on that offer from the other day.">"Oh, of course, of course! Consider it done. I already have it paid off for, but you'll still need to cover some bills.">Orange smiles, "Thanks. And of course, feel free to visit whenever you like.">The two hug, you getting sandwiched in between>"Well, thanks for the tea. I hope to have some more with you soon.">"Sure thing, and I'm sorry about little Anny here.">Orange looks down at you and you smile up at her>"I think she accepts the apology.">Fish smiles and tousles your mane, "Thanks, sweetie. So long you two. Give my best to the stallion of the house.">"I will, bye Flying.">Orange takes you outside the house and while she makes her way back home, still holding you, you find yourself dozing offhttps://poneb.in/jEQgDwcF
>>42570933>You calmly wake up, finding yourself with a leg around your back and a hoof stroking through your mane>The steady rise and fall of whatever is holding you almost puts you back to sleep, but once Orange starts talking you know it's too late for that>"Is Anny feeling any better?">The question brings you back to that freak>And for a split second, you aren't in the arms... Legs... Whatever of Orange>You're back in that embrace with Cotton>Then the hoof goes back into your mane and repeats its course down>Relief washes over you as return to your new mother>"Not quite yet? Here, let mommy kiss it better.">She leans down and kisses you on the top of the head>It physically did nothing, the area didn't even hurt anymore>But just the thought was nice>You look up and smile at her>She returns the smile>Realizing where exactly you are on her, you quickly place your ear against her chest>That thumping is as great as it was the first time>You're more than content to just sit here like this forever>And Orange seems on board with that, for the time being at least>You aren't sure how long you sat there, mane being caressed, heart beating, until Orange's stomach grumbles>You look up at her and she looks down at you>"You hungry too, sweetie?">While you don't feel too hungry, you're sure that you can go for something to ea- Oh right it's just milk>*What happened to that Whatchamacallit?*

>>42570940>It's been about a week since you arrived here in Equestria>You've honestly lost track of the time since you first woke up in that dark room, long long ago>And in the time since then, the unthinkable has happened>You've actually given up any aspirations of returning to Earth and have accepted your new fate>That of a blue pegasus filly with pegasus parents>Well, foal for the time being. It'd take a while to get over the fact that you have to wear diapers constantly>And the fact that everyone treats you like a fucking baby>But hey, give it another five or so more years and you'll be back to causing trouble again! And no jail time for minors!>Anyway, enough exposition, as you finally shed yourself of your past life the rest of your new family is shedding themselves of their house>For you>No matter how much you loved your old parents, you can't help but feel that even they wouldn't have given up their house for your safety>It's kind of touching>But here you sit, on the living room floor arbitrarily moving around the rubber ducky from bathtime and some pots as best as you can with your limited hoof-dexterity>Meanwhile a bunch of pegasi are busy taking out the furniture while Mom and Dad pack their bags for Fillydelphia>Back on Earth you visited Philadelphia once for a school trip...>You really really hope that Fillydelphia is nothing like it>Just from the school bus going between 'famous historical locations' you spotted more homeless people than you could count>And god knows how many drug deals in back alleys>To snap you out of your flashbacks, Mom comes up and starts grabbing the pots, smiling at you>"Sorry sweetie, but Mommy's gotta pack these up">*Oh come on, you're just gonna leave me with the du-*>And then Dad came up and grabbed the rubber ducky before glancing around>"And, I uhh... I just need this...">You and Mom both giggle at that
>>42570951>... You still didn't know what they were going to do for money once the three of you got to your new house>Having a couple pegasi to handle the weather could be pretty good for an Earth city, though>Oh crap you're going to be the weird one in school>You'll be the one black kid in the all white Jewish school!>These fools, they've damned you to a life of ridicule!>... Again!>At least this time you can claim racism... And fly>Maybe you'll be the cool kid this time>Show all them bitches who's the King of the Skies>Err, Queen of the Skies>Your train of thought gets cut again as you're set onto Dad's back>"Ready to go sweetie?">You nod your head>*Affirmative, Cap'n.*>He smiles and trots out alongside Mom, the various work horses loading up the last of the furniture into a closed cart and Flying Fish is there, ready to see the three of you off>"Well... I guess I won't be seeing you for a while. Oh, but I'll be sure to visit!">Mom smiles, "Oh, it's fine, feel free to stop by whenever you want!">The two hug with both their wings and their hooves>"I'll be sure to take you up on that! But in the meantime, be sure to say hi to Lemon Bark and her foal starlite! Who knows, maybe her and Anny can be best friends!">*Oh boy, another playdate...*>That was one good thing about the move, getting away from Cotton>Apparently he'd been asking about another playdate with you>Leave it up to maternal intuition or just dumb luck, but Orange didn't accept>Mom didn't share your opinion on playdates in general, though, so she went ahead and said that she'd love to see you make a new friend>The two squeezed each other before parting and nodded, "So, we had better get going.">"Mmhmm, and be sure to tell Lemon Bark I said hi when you get there!">"I will, so long Flying. I'll be sure to write!">The two offered short waves before Mom, Dad, and you went to a chariot, being pulled by a single large pegasus stallion>He turned around with a smile, "All ready?">Dad nodded, "Yup, to Ponyville we go!">Wait, Ponyville?https://poneb.in/XJaXeEUi
>>42570956>As if to answer your question, the stallion nodds, "Ponyville it is.">He turns to face forward and his wings shoot out, starting to flap as he started trotting along the clouds>You peek up over the back of the chariot to see the cart with all of your furniture going in the opposite direction>Dad is the one that pulls you back in between the two, "Hey now, sweetie, you don't wanna fall now.">*Why is our shit going that way and we're going this way!?*>Mom laughs and nuzzles the back of your head, "Looks like someone's excited to see Ponyville.">Sometimes not being able to talk has its perks. This isn't one of those times.>Being sat in the middle of a flight used to suck back on Earth. You didn't get more leg room like you did in an aisle seat, and you didn't get a view like you did in a window seat.>It's still like that in Equestria.>Having nothing else to do you slump your head against Mom while the two talk.>You really don't care what it is that they're saying and instead just want to hurry up and get off of this ride.>Time passes pretty slowly, but eventually you hear the stallion call back, "All right, and here we are! Ponyville! Founded by the Apple Family some odd years ago and built up thanks to their legendary 'Zap Apple Jam'. The market's known to be quite the den of hagglers, and overall it's a nice town. Just be wary of the Everfree Forest while you're here.">While the stallion does his little monologue, he touches down onto the ground near Town Hall.>You're far too busy leaning forward and looking out the sides of the chariot to pay much attention, though.>While you were a bit upset about not going to Fillydelphia to settle in, you're in fucking PONYVILLE!>This is where the SHOW takes PLACE!>!!!
>>42570967>You're far too eager for your own good as you hop off the seat once the chariot comes to a full and complete stop and start crawling towards the edge of the chariot>Dad is quick to scoop you up, "Not so fast, there, Anny. We gotta pay the stallion first.">He walks over towards the stallion and pulls out a hoofful of bits, "Now hold out your hooves Anny.">A bit confused by the request, you sit down with an unnoticeable crinkle and hold both of your hooves up.>Dad deposits the bits into your hooves carefully and turns you around, "Now give them to him.">The stallion smiles and externally d'awwws as you hold the bits up to him.>He takes them and ruffles your mane, "Such a cutie pie. Anny was it?">With a nod from Dad the stallion keeps going on, "Well I'm Spruce Goose. A pleasure to meet you.">*Damn straight it is.*>While Mom got out of the chariot, Dad and Spruce talked a bit. Not too interested in the conversation, you were able to pick up that you were still heading to Fillydelphia. You were just taking>*All aboard the rape train, motherfuckers! Choo choo!*>The three all laugh as you seem to be able to accurately babble out 'Choo choo' and even have the tooting motion with a hoof.>"Guess it won't be her first time on a train.">Mom and Dad keep quiet about that, you assume adoptive parents don't really go talking about their adopted children as not their children.>Makes sense.>Either way, they talk some more before finally saying farewell and making you wave a hoof at Spruce before they start walking along.>"So, we've got a couple hours until we have to be at the train station. You wanna check out the sights?">"Sure! Where should we start?">"Hmmm... How about the market? Get some snacks for the train ride, y'know.">Dad smiles down at you as he keeps going, "Maybe find some Whatchamacallits for Anny here.">While Whatchamacallits may have not been your favorite food back on Earth, they sure as hell were turning out to be that way here. And if your thoughts hadn't told you that, the excited wiggling you were doing in Dad's hooves probably would have been a dead give away.>Mom observed the wiggling then looked to Dad who gave her a grin, "That's two to one, honey.">She sighs, "Market it is, then. I swear, sometimes I think you're just a stomach with wings.">"And that's when I remind you that that's exactly what I am, dear.">The two laugh, and you can't help but giggle a bit.>And so off you were, to the market.https://poneb.in/QSA0bDWJ
>>42570971>As the three of you entered into what shall hereby be designated 'The Market,' you had a realization>Ponyville is just a nicer looking Mexico>Holy hell there's way too many fucking stands here>There's really no better way to describe it than a Mexican bazaar>Even if Mexicans don't have bazaars, there's just way too many people here>You're pretty sure there's at least one stand where they aren't selling anything, the pony in charge of it just wanted to fit in with the fad>And it seems you aren't alone in these opinions>"Uhhh, honey...">"Yeeeah.... I'm not too sure we're gonna find your Whatchamacallits here...">"I'd be surprised if we found our way out of here!">The two start glancing around, giving you a bit more of an arc to view and you find that even if you were always good with directions, you'd probably have a hard time finding your way around here>"And uhh, how long until the train arrives?">"A couple hours...">"Well... You always said you wanted to go through a maze together! No time like the present!">Mom could only sigh at Dad's enthusiasm>"I swear, sometimes I wonder which of you is the foal.">She turns to you with a smile and giggles, "Does Anny wanna be Daddy's mommy?">*Heeeeell no, I'd be terrible with kids!*>They both laugh before Mom playfully bumps Dad with her head>"Well, you heard her. Looks like you get to sleep in the crib when we get there.">"Heheh, all right! Have fun at work Anny, I'm gonna stay home and par-tay!">The two laugh as they resume walking through the market, trying to find something to get as a souvenir>Or at least a story good enough to be worth the trip>They find one vendor who's doing old timey themed pictures>Mom thinks it'll be a great idea and Dad listens to Mom
>>42570981>The flash from the camera blinds you, and as per usual Mom and Dad laugh>When they show you the picture that you always thought of as extremely overpriced, it is of Sheriff Anny blinking while Bad-Dad is in chains and Prostitute-Mom kisses your cheek to thank you for doing your job>At least you got to be the sheriff>Sheriffs were always the cool dudes out in the Wild West>As you three left, it dawned on you that this was your first family picture...>That's a pretty weird family picture.>Hopefully they don't keep it on display once you get into grade school and have to invite friends over to play and shit>The next vendor your merry band stopped off at was by Dad's request>A food vendor>Of course>Because Dad's only character trait is that he's hungry>He tries out some 'Dragon Fried Beans'>You don't get any, but apparently they give you a blowjob considering how many bits he paid for them>The third vendor sells....>Wait for iiiiiit....>Scarves>Someone decided that scarves were so cool that they needed their own stand>And God damn, in Ponyville you'd have to agree with them>At least half of the fucking ponies in this market must be waitin in this line>*Why!?*>They both look at you, and for some reason they seem really excited to be in this line but also a bit distressed by your single syllable outburst>*They're just /scarves/! We're going to the city, we don't neeeeed /scarves/! We're gonna miss the train way before we get up there!*>If they were distressed before, now they were fullblown terrified
>>42570982>"What's wrong sweetie?">"Is she sick?">"Maybe she wants some of my beans?">Mom gives a momentary glare in Dad's direction before he bows his head, "Sorry...">*The train! The traaaain! Gah!*>Still, they look on as if you've been possessed by Satan>FINALLY, fate is on your side>Another couple walks up to the two, a background unicolt and background pegamare>"Umm, excuse us, but do you two know which way to the train station?">*YEEESSSS!*>"Oh, right! We got a train to catch!">Without helping the background ponies, the three of you go running off past the line and past the vendor, some of those waiting in line yelling at you as if you were trying to cut in line>But nope, the three of you just kept going straight before one of the two, you can't tell if it's Mom or Dad, remembers all three of you have wings and takes off, the second one following suit>A fortunate realization, as your horse-bird's eye view shows that those two were heading off in the wrong direction, aaand that the train is starting to pull up to the station>After a mad dash to get there, the three of you get through the 'inspection' pretty quickly>Oh wait that's right, 9/11 isn't a thing here>You briefly contemplate on what horse pun they'd have for Ground Zero before suddenly you're actually on the train>What an interesting two hours...https://poneb.in/ASyAFGJt

>Prince Anon isn't distractible persay, but he does slip into autopilot alot>its his way of coping with being so long-lived, when nothing or no one of interest is around his mind just rests, its the compromise between human mind and alicorn longevity >He has discord bound to a cat since cats are the most chaotic creatures >Anon is overpowered by the likes of sunset and twilight in terms of raw power, he can raise the sun/moon sure but he delegated the chore of that to discord >discord does it since its the only thing hes allowed to do in familiar form directly, he makes day and night happen or he goes back in the statue >As a teacher anon is pretty regimented, his lessons have a well defined curriculum with lots of gaps for self-guided research or outlined objectives to complete. this both gives his students the chance to learn directly under him and pursue their interests while supported.>the real reason for this is so anon knows whats happening, can keep up with his students better, learn as they do and then get breaks from teaching for extended periods >Anon's been around long enough to understand the theories and functions of magic but his innate power is on par with cadence's at best, what he does know how to use though hes gotten quite good at, creative use of his power is what gives him his edge >Anon knows the show, knowing events that have/will happen bother him since he has no idea if he should act on them or not>non-ponies like chrysalis or rain shine are preferred targets of his rarely seen spaghetti>anon and dragon lord torch don't talk during their meetings, they fight, its led to an association with where ponies with green coats are avoided by dragons in case its the prince in disguise, the prince himself or a relative>the fights are friendly if destructive >granny smith would be highly respected in the dragonlands and theres an old rumour the apples are related to the prince since quite a few of them have green coats or manes >anon keeps trying to trick chrysalis into sharing love just to see how pissed she'll get after transforming into a nu-changeling
>back to stealing shit off other threadsfor fucks sake do you never learn
> Be Anon filly.> Not an earth pony filly. Not a pegasus filly. Not a unicorn filly. But a regular horse filly.> Unfortunately this means that you're bigger than most other foals. And some adults. Which makes attending school awkward.> One may wonder how you got here.> Well let's jump back a bit.A couple of days ago.> Be Anon. Human anon.> Late one night, while browsing 4chan, you notice a shooting star outside your window. You're typically rather skeptical, but it can't hurt wish on it. Worst scenario, you still got to see a rare natural phenomenon.> Thinking about what you could possibly want, you reflect on your life. You mostly like your life, but it can pretty boring. You do sometimes wish things could be more interesting.> And thus, you decide that's your wish. "I wish my life was more interesting." You say as you gaze up at the night sky.> And with that, your life was turned upside down. As you're blinded by a bright light and are transported away from your home.Meanwhile.> Be Twilight Sparkle. Princess of friendship and book lover.> Currently watching the night sky with your telescope and looking for constellations from the book you're. Occasionally taking a sip of tea.> As you watch the night sky from your castle, you notice a shooting star. Excitedly, you begin thinking about what you could possibly want. You have a lovely life, but there is one thing that you've been thinking about lately.> "I wish I had a filly to mentor and raise." You say hopefully.> With a bright flash of light, she appeared on your floor. She seemed to be a filly, but looked a bit funny. That and she was very large. Almost as big as you. Her coat and eyes are green, and her mane is black. There's a question mark on her flanks, clearly a cutie mark.> She seems confused and frightened.Anon's POV.> When your vision returns, you're in a strange crystal room. A purple horse with wings and a horn stads in front of you.> Confused and freaked out, you look around, noticing that you, yourself, are a green horse.> You begin to hyperventilate. Your mind spinning. Vision getting blurry.> Then the purple horse nuzzles you, and instinctively you begin to relax.> Feeling mentally exhausted, you slowly fall asleep standing up.
>>42577109A day later.> Be Twilight.> You had contacted Celestia and your fellow elements of harmony.> After a bit of investigation, you've concluded that this is indeed a filly. Just not a pony filly. Apparent she's a horse. Which are similar to ponies, but far bigger.> You still love your new student though.> Anon she calls herself.> Fortunately horse language and pony language seem to be pretty similar, although there are some moments when you don't understand what she means. Although she doesn't talk much in the first place. You think Anon is just nervous around ponies.> She seems to have not seen a pony before. Anon seemw knows very little about pony kind. Heck, she didn't even know what a cutie mark was.> Right now you're teaching basic social cues to your student. Mainly so things go over smoothly when you introduce her to the rest of Ponyville. Especially since you do plan to send her to school.> Anon learns quickly, fortunately. So by the sunset, she's ready to be introduced. But that'll have to wait for tomorrow, since as mentioned before, it's sunset.> You, Anon, and Spike have spaghetti for dinner. Which Anon seems to love.> "So how are you liking living here so far?" You ask Anon.> "It's.... b-been okay..." Anon responds.> You gently nuzzle her, noticing how nervous she is.> Anon whinnies happily and nuzzles you back.> Gently, you guide her to bed and read her a bedtime story.> Before you know it, she's asleep. Clinging gently to you.The next day.> Be Anon.> You're starting to get used to being a horse filly. Although it's still very strange.> Today is the day your mentor/caretaker Twilight Sparkle is taking you outside. You're quite nervous.These colorful ponies are strange to say the least.> As you two trot down the road, you are stared down by countless ponies. Twilight waving at each and every one of them.> Eventually you reach a place that looks like it's made out of candy. Twilight motions for you to head in first.> "SURPRISE!" Is what you hear as you enter. Being greeted by the pink one, Pinkie Pie you think her name was. Along with countless other ponies.> It appears to be a party. You jump due to the surprise, but quickly calm down.> You try to enjoy yourself, although you're still not quite used to these ponies. So you stay close to Twilight.> Occasionally she nuzzles you, much to your filly side's enjoyment.> Eventually you go home and go to bed. But not before Twilight lets you know that you're going to school.The present.> And that's how you got here.> Most of the other foals are scared of you due to your size.> Although there are three who aren't scared of you. Mainly because they both know Twilight and are the sisters of her friends.> But it's still better than no friends.> You sigh. Looks like you're in for an interesting life to say the least.End.

>>42578544There’s a lot of tack that I’d consider using as a pony strictly on a utilitarian basis, though I’d be concerned about whether it’s taboo or not.For real, the hoof boots look comfortable and the blinders look like they’d help avoid distractions.I don’t think there’s any way around a saddle being at least a bit kinky though.

Recently read what Zeno's hell is, and while looking at the body horror thread, this idea popped up in my head:> You become a pony just like you always wanted.> Unfortunately for you, going from non magic human to magical pony has unintended consequences.> Going from human brain to pony brain is like being lobotomized and having your skull stuffed with cotton and fairy floss.> And the flooding of magic into your body is a sensory overload comparable to a minor version of Zeno's hell as incomprehensible magical chaos floods your brain.> For a good long while you're a quivering babbling drooling mess on the floor.> By the time you regain consciousness, you're a shell of your former self.
>>42581516Y-you get used to it in time, right?

>>42581763I hope Equestria has an organisation which helps new ponies acclimate to their lives.
>Human soul + Alicorn magic + Chaotic mind = Anon has access to a Super form>It's only been recorded twice in Equestria's history >The first time was during his first ever meeting with Torch>The only other was because he stubbed his hoof on a table leg at the end of an aggravating meeting with swarthy, money-grubbing Griffons>A side effect of Anonicorn's fabled Super form is that many dragons are especially wary of Granny Smith,because of her specific color combo of blonde mane and green coat
>>42581763Something the regents will never tell you is that most of Equestria's ponies are only functional enough to perform basic jobs like farming/cloudfluffing, and their emotional reactions look out of place if they're not in a crowd. Trust me, you'll fit in fine as a background pony who maybe - maybe - has to say a line or two.
"What's it like being reincarnated?" Cinnamon Roll parroted back the question, "That's- I mean, that's a personal question to start with, isn't it Nonny?""I think it's a salient one." The green filly replied with a snort.The brown and white earth pony pawed his hooves on either side of the microphone, causing a hissing feedback over the airwaves, "Uh, well, I guess everypony's reincarnated or something, they probably just don't remember it.""I don't remember it at least, what about you Twily?" Anon prodded their third cohost."I'm Twilight Sparkle." The purple unicorn mumbled."Uh- I guess I just kind of, started to wake up, at like, a year old. Not all in one day, but like a dawning realization of-- me-- I guess.""Like coming out of surgery?" Anon queried."Oh, kind of, but I'm not sure how useful that is to listeners. The anesthetics here are weird, nothing like back home.""Good to know. Somehow I've avoided getting Purp angry enough to hospitalize me." Anon laughed."I'd never hospitalize you, Anon." Twilight Sparkle gasped into the microphone, before mumbling out a soft, "Well maybe a little.""Uh-- I was talking about real Twilight, Twily, but good to know.""You still haven't explained, um, Twily.""Oh, well, that's a short story. Twilight cast a spell." Anon spoke "You can't just-- you can't just say Twilight cast a spell and expect that to explain things.""Yes I can. Do you know why I'm a filly?""Twilight-" Cinnamon started before letting out a half laugh-half snort, "Let me guess, Twilight cast a spell?""Yup. And as the explanation always fucking goes, you, like-- you-- Twilight can't uncast spells.""Okay." Cinnamon laughed, "Maybe- maybe that's like an explanation.""It's a salient explanation.""You really like the word salient.""Twilight says we have to be educational to stay on the airwaves. I have a list, and some vocabulary is on it.""Gosh." Cinnamon shook his head."Although I got a legally binding agreement that as long as we are able to cover these topics in the 9-5 slot the Radio Station is allowed to run.""Really? Like- we can say whatever we want" Cinnamon was incredulous."Twilight is really bad at the whole princess thing. She'd have to take us through the Royal Court to undo the first decree.""I'm Twilight Sparkle." Twily agreed.
>>42582483"Oh- gosh, we got off topic, but what's Twily's-- like-- deal. She-- I don't want to be mean, but she's hard to talk to.""Twily was probably, like, a normal human on the other side, but got a bit scrambled. Twilight attempted to recreate the magic that brought me here so she could diagnoses it, but it was-- ambient magic or something-- and Twilight herself attempting to cast the ambient magic as a spell did something really bad to Twily's body and head." Anon spoke slowly."I'm a magical talking unicorn." Twily chirped."Gosh." Cinnamon mumbled, "That sounds complex.""Mmmm, I kind of zone in and out as mom's talking." Anon waved a hoof around, not that the small listening audience could hear him do it. "Mom?" Cinny asked."What?" Nonny replied."You said mom." Cinny pressed."No I didn't, what the fuck is wrong with you." Anon squeaked back, angrily."I love you too anon!" Twily added."I-- fucking god--" Anon's protests devolved into incoherent angry squeaking."God, of the overfilled vessels, weeps, in glory and inglory at his creation." Twily nodded.Cinnamon looked slowly between the two, the sound of sucking his own mouth audible through the microphone, "Uh-- hands! God I miss hands.""Oh god, hands would be-- it would be so nice to have hands again, but Twilight says she can't turn me into a griffin for more than a week without- uh- species drift or something.""Griffons? Oh, yeah, I think I remember- um- Gilda? From the show? " Cinnamon drifted off, the colt's squeaky voice drifting into a kind of nostalgia he shouldn't have at his age."Mmmm, you get some freaks in ponyville." Anon agreed."I'm a normal unicorn." Twily provided happily."Is Twilly the most or least normal pony in the room?" Anon snorted."I-- I'd probably feel safer taking her out for dinner than you." Cinnamon added his own snort-mixed with a chuckle."Are you saying you don't want to take me out on a date?" Anon asked, with an amused, faux-outrage."Mmm, I guess you're the only pony I could without it being a special kind of weird." Cinnamon mused."Still weird, but-- wait, I'm older than you." "You're thirty, but I died at 22, add another 8 years and I think I'm thirty too." Cinnamon countered."Wait, I just, didn't you say you died in 2012?""Yeah, when did you come here?""Uh- 2023, but that doesn't really add up.""Of all the heck'n things to question." Cinnamon laughed."It's- probably important, like, if I go home." Anon's voice shrunk back."Oh-- I, yeah, I'm sorry." Cinnamon mumbled uncomfortably."Me with wings will get you home, Anon, don't worry." After the sounds of a shuffle, Twily's voice reassured the filly, coming from nearby her microphone.

>>42582678Humans don't exist in equestria and are a non hooved sapient. They fit the bill quite well for at the very least an anomaly to keep an eye on
>>42582743Then what about griffons, dragons, etc.?

For some reason, changeling transformation stories almost always have some sorta body horror.
>>42586077You've seen The Fly, haven't you?Insectoid morphology and body horror TFs go together like peas and carrots.
>>42586379Well I've been wanting more body horror TFs, so changeling fans, feel free to write more TFs.
>>42586077Another reason (aside from usual insect anatomy) is the fact that changelings have those gaping holes in their limbs which... I don't know how you could write about those without it turning into body horror.

Was looking through the TF story catalogue, and found this interesting one.https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1HAhJBk9cL1ZYXng3n2TKeiL7M1gCJ6se32pU46ZMVrI/mobilebasicFigured I'd talk about it on the TF thread. Most TF stories don't have anything involving force feeding or weight gain, so there's that.
>>42589047Freshly transformed!
>Anon has to be sterner/fiercer as a leader to keep Equestria's enemies away and hold the kingdom together.>other races consider the peace treaties that Celestia wrote to be null and void when she disappears and try to take land>Anonicorn, trying to emulate Celestia, tries to get them to sit down and discuss terms to renegotiate peace>the terms they demand are always outrageous>tracks of land surrendered, any ponies within the borders forced into their societies, gold, gold and more gold>while Anon tries to play as Celestia, he does not have her patience>he has human pride and petulence in equal measure>peace talks go to shit when Anonicorn decides to brute force the peace>magically chases the other races back across their borders>chases them into them too until they yield and agree to peace>by the time he gets back he now has to spend the next few centuries smoothing thing's out in Equestria cause now he has a reputation of using force>by the time of the show he's regarded fondly>but the stories remain>legends say that the prince was so enraged by foreign aggression at the start of his reign that his magical might increased a thousandfold as he drove the invaders out of the country>the truth is that he had only just become a pony/alicorn and he was only going full scorched earth because he had no idea how to control his output

Cheap traced shitpost tf
I wish we had more unwilling/forced TFs where the transformee is not happy. It's messed up, but I kinda enjoy reading them. Especially when said unfortunate soul is slowly broken down until they accept the transformation.
>>42592968Tempted to do this as a series or story
>>42592968Hah. I love the contrasting reactions to becoming a pony.
>>42593286The one i wrote with discord was so much fun to write, but agreed. Makes me sad I can't really make that work in the twilight adoption story

>>42596116Nice butt
>>42597884Now that's a peculiar backstory.I feel like it's immediately adjacent to a lot of really common, tired tropes, but this is certainly different to say nothing else.
>>42585814Does Anonicorn have an ass like Luna or like Celestia?
>>42600264Made for foal bearing like Cadance.
>>42600264Does anyone have a reason to believe it'd be anything but average?
>>42600264Anon is a scrawny faggot, not a fat bastardTherefore, Anonicorn has a Luna-like tiny rump
>>42596116Would you get to Equestria if you had to come along with a normie?>>42596909Here you have a little more
>Anon's soul was pulled into Equestria through the alicorn ascension space place>This made Celestia appear there leading to a switcharoo>Anon's human body being either absent or destroyed by the faux-ascension meant he got spat back into Equestria>But Celestia didn't, shes trapped there with Anon having no idea that the swap happened
Celestia's spell to banish Luna also ends up banishing her too. Just instead of in a place, it banished her into the future. Anon was dropped off in Equestria at the same time as an Earth Pony, and becomes and Alicorn on his journey to fix the fallout of Equestria losing its princesses because Harmony itself pushed him into it basically.Fast forward to let's say just after Twilight becomes an Alicorn, Celestia pops back up. From her PoV she just banished her sister a second ago, then her vision popped in and out and suddenly she's staring at Princess Purple Smart and a big green Alicorn stallion. Although if you wanted to bring her back earlier, right as Nightmare Moon is defeated feels like the appropriate spot. It'd certainly be a funny wtf moment when Nightmare Moon is purged and suddenly there are two Alicorn mares on the ground.Celestia has a thing for Anon, Anon focuses on Luna because she was his favorite pony in his human life, Luna is passive aggressive and distrusting of Anon, and is annoyed with her sister wasting time trying to woo Anon, shenanigans ensue.
>>42600412Yes, forcing a normie into Equestria would be very funny.
>>42600738That's hilarious. Goofy alicorn love triangle.
TF from makeup mirror. (You) obtain a mirror and then find makeup mysteriously sitting in front of it. Gazing into the mirror out of confusion and looking back at the makeup, you get the urge (and maybe the knowledge) to put it on. More makeup being applied causes the rest of the body to TF as well. By the time you are doing the mascara, you realize you are using your horn to hold the little brush because your hands are hooves.Could be more gradual. Maybe it takes a while and more shows up day-by-day and eventually curiosity got the best of you and you finally try it.
>>42577112Pretty sweet story, though there's a few typos.
>>42578228P-21?
>>42578611It's normal for ponies to wear saddles. You're just being weird about it because you were a human.
>>42602920It's normal for people to wear slightly revealing clothing out in public, but that doesn't mean it's not at least a bit kinky to do so.Not everything is as clear-cut as latex boots and a collar - not that ponies don't wear those too, come to think of it.If (when) I'm a young mare swinger, I'd rock a saddle as a subtle signal.

You ask in response>She simply nods, and you nod back, satisfied>"What are you girls doing here?" Rainbow asks, looking back and forth between the three fillies>The three all scuff their hooves at the sand, looking down, guilty>How quickly a fun trip can turn wrong>"We were just coming to swim with you and 'non" Applebloom drawls out in her southern tone. "Mah sister let me finish my chores early so I grabbed Scoots and Sweetie Belle">"We're sorry Mister Anonymous" Sweetie Belle squeaks out slightly>You've been there before>Thinking you bothered an adult and feeling guilty about it>Rainbow Dash glances at you and you know she's thinking on the same wavelength>You give her a small smirk as your breath finally evens out>She seems amused as you stand and wipe the smirk from your face, though you fight to keep it down"Well, there's one way you can make this alright, Scootaloo" You say, approaching the young filly>She hops up, eager to try and make amends, but also clearly nervous>"What's that?""Well, two things, first, is to hold still">"Ummm, o...kay?" She says shifting her hooves slightly, her wings flicking at her sides "Now what""Now you brace yourself">"Brace for whaAAAAAAA-"
>>42606466>With a quickness you pick her up in your hooves and huck her up and into the pond>You didn't throw her too high, but she falls for long enough to scream, realize what happened, and hold her breath>She breaches a second or two after she splashed down, laughing as she did>"No fair! I wasn't ready!"You shrug with your wings. "I told you to brace, kid">"Me next! Me next!" A squeak says beside you, bouncing on her hooves>"Naw me next!">"Why don't you both go next?"

Applebloom asks. "Don't you need to finish your chores?">Applejack simply chuckles. "They're all finished sis. How long do you think you've been up here?">You glance up in the general direction of the sun, squinting as you do>It's definitely moved>The realization you were lifting and throwing fillies for a few hours suddenly weighs on your limbs and you let yourself come to rest beside the pond>A gentle purple hoof pats your back as you look to Twilight>"How are you feeling?" She asks, her eyes glancing at your wings>What's the likelihood that she heard about you fleeing Zecora?>Who are you kidding?>The whole town probably knows>Hopefully she didn't take it personally"'m fine" You mumble out as you let yourself stretch out to relax
>>42606470>She gives you an uncertain look, but some reassurance from Dash deters her from pushing the topic>The three fillies quickly regale the girls with how you and Dash were throwing them like sandbags into the water>While this gets a chuckle from Applejack, it causes Rarity to fuss slightly more over her sister, and shoot you and Dash a small glare>When she's sure that her sister's fine the glare eases, though she gives you a pointedly disapproving look>She seems to be used to Dash, so she gets a pass>Though the pond gets more crowded, it becomes no less comfortable>Hollers and laughter fill the air as you drift in and out of sleep>The tire swing is used so much you wonder if it'll snap>Despite being fresh and rested, the five other mares struggle to keep up with the filly's pleas for fun>Except for Pinkie Pie>Snacks of the apple and sweet variety are brought as well>You gladly take any offered as you remember you've forgotten to have basically any meals since this morning>After a rest and the snacks you feel some of your energy renewed and happily dive back into the pond>Pinkie had more games than you thought were possible for water-based fun but it kept everyone entertained>Luckily they still had good old chicken fighting at Applejack's suggestion>Dash was quick to pick you as her partner for this game>You had half expected her to pick Applejack, but then you realized she preferred to compete against the farm mare, rather than with her>With Rainbow on your shoulders, you went against Pinkie with Applejack on her shoulders>The struggle was long>Partially because Applejack and Rainbow Dash were a match>But also because fighting Pinkie was finicky>Her limbs would stretch like an accordion and she barely took it seriously>At one point she pressed her hoof to your snout with a "boop">It got to a point where you lost some of the infectious competitiveness Rainbow had and just enjoyed it>Eventually your duo won>Moreso because Pinkie found it funny to drop backwards and take Applejack with her>Calling foul on her partner's part, Applejack demanded a rematch>With the other options being Twilight, Rarity, Fluttershy or the fillies, the teams were imbalanced with Pinkie entertaining herself by dancing on the water>Eventually it was agreed that it would be settled with Scootaloo riding Dash and the Apple siblings pairing up>You parted from your brief partner to be referee>This duel is much more intense>Both teams are going all out>Dash and Applejack are swaying and swinging through the water, all while trying to keep their shoulders level to keep their younger cohorts balanced>Applebloom and Scootaloo are just as competitive but seem to be having more fun with it>As the struggle goes back and forth, Rainbow Dashs starts to lose ground>Lose water?>She gets pushed back by Applejack and almost pushed over a few times>You can see the annoyance in the prismatic mare>The tension>Her eyes sharpen to a glare
>>42606475>Her nostrils flares>You can see her jaw tighten as she clenches her teeth>Then her wings flutter>She takes some elevation and begins pushing back>Before Applejack can get a word out to complain you blow a whistle, courtesy of Twilight>She really was prepared for anything"Foul. Apples win." You declare simply, holding a hoof out to the sisters>"WHAT!?">They cheer victoriously as Applebloom dismounts from Applejack's shoulders>Rainbow Dash deposits Scootaloo into the water and flies over to you>"How is that a foul!?">You raise a brow at Rainbow wondering if she's serious>For some reason she is"Applejack can't fly, Rainbow" You say, pointing out the obvious. "If you were against Twilight it would be a foul if she used her magic on you">"That's completely different!" She argues>You tilt a hoof side to side making dismissive noises as you do>"I demand a second opinion!">"I'd say it's a foul">"Most certainly a foul, darling">"I guess when you think about it, it's kind of a foul... sorry Rainbow">Rainbow groans as she leans her head back>She really hated losing apparently>The slight tension is broken as she lets her wings simply go limp and crashes back-first into the water, spraying you and Twilight>While you simply laugh, Twilight complains as her book is almost drenched>Dash's disappointment fades as you and Applejack take part in more competitions with her>Eventually the day finally begins to wind down>The sun begins to set as the moon begins to rise>The others depart from the pond as you and Rainbow walk in the general direction of your house>When you're clear of the town, the last of the little noises fade and all you can hear is your own hoofbeats and Dash's breath in the night air>Eventually you get close enough that you have to fly up>You and Dash briefly share a look that she briefly flicks her eyes away from>Clearly thoughts of when you were linked at the pond still linger for her>Hell, they linger in her too>And honestly, it's more tempting now>With how the night has brought a light chill, the memory of her body's warmth is clearer than ever>After clearing her throat, Rainbow awkwardly shifts a wing on to you "You ready?">Your only response is a simple nod as you hook your wing above hers and shift to be closer to her side>She reflexively shifts away but then steadies herself and lets your sides press together>With a single flap of her wing she easily pick up you and her>Of course you're not much help, barely able to move your wing without hurting it so she pulls double duty as she flies you both up to the house>When she reaches it you make sure to help keep her steady when she lands>She chuckles and pushes your hooves from her barrel with a quick thanks as you open the door>For some reason, she follows behind you>You're not complaining>A thump pulls your attention to the couch as you see her face down on it>Resting a bit before taking herself home
>>42606482"You can stay the night if you want, couch is free.">She waves you off with a shake of her head>"Nah, I'm good, just need to rest my eyes for a few.">You nod at her as she lets herself relax on your furniture>With what little energy you yourself have left, you go through the house, tending to a few quick chores that you got behind on due to your hospital trip>Now with everything done, as far as you can tell, it's just time to hit the hay>Your mental pat on the back for your horse pun is interrupted by a soft snore>Returning to the living room, you peek over the couch to confirm that Rainbow has indeed fallen completely asleep>Wings relaxed, hooves slack, rainbow mane lightly covering her softly close eyelids>Oh well, you were a pony of your word>You just hope she doesn't sweat on the couch too much>A small breeze blows in and you recall a spare blanket you had laying around for when winter came>You retrieve it as quickly and quietly as you can, then drape it over Rainbow, who seems to naturally wrap herself under it>It's strange, but the sight makes you smile>A kind of smile you're unfamiliar with>Simple, peaceful, glad>Glad that she was your first friend>Without another noise you head to your own room and collapse into your own bed, groaning as the familiarity relaxes and eases the aches and pains of the day as you slip off to sleep
>>42606485>You're floating>Cool water on your back as you drift aimlessly>Light as the feathers on your own wings>Then, the sound of droplets of water ring out>Ripples form under your head>You can't really feel them>But you feel your mane move in response>"Hey dude" a familiar voice says above you>Bleary eyed, you squint into the sun to see Rainbow Dash stood above you>Stood on the water that you're laying in>Ponies are weird>You watch the water drip from her mane>Then they freeze in the air>But not in the sense they become ice>Rather, they simply stop>Sunlight refracts and shines through them>Their glow seems to shimmer off her coat>A gentle breeze ruffles her mane and coat as that smug, self-assured, yet kind smirk you've come to know crosses her muzzle>For a moment, you pull your eyes away from her face to glance up at the sky above>A softer blue than her coat, with a few pure white clouds drifting by>Then the sky ripples>You sit up to get a better look>It takes a moment to realize you're in the sky>And staring at the sky's reflection in the pond below>But you're just sitting in the air>No cloud>No nothing>Dream>Probably>You give your wings a test flap>No aches or pains or burning sensation>It feels wonderful>With a quick flex you're off on a flight again>It feels natural>An endless loop of ponds below and sky above pass you by, and you simply enjoy the breeze on your wings>It feels right>You're not sure how long you fly in the dream>Time's weird in dreams>But the sun wheels through the air and night falls and the gentle glow of the moon takes a blue tint>You jolt back a bit when you see a great, pale blue eye staring at you where the moon should be>Clouds are underhoof as you calm down and the glow becomes brighter>Soon though it fades, and that same moon mare from before stands in front of you"Luna..." You say with some uncertainty>"So thou dost know us" She remarks coolly"I did some reading" Is your simple response>She hums back, her eyes pulling away from you as if to inspect the dream as she begins to walk circles in the cloud>"What else hast thou been up to?" She asks>She doesn't trust you>You can't blame her>You wouldn't trust you"Well, you're already aware of one thing, aren't you?">She doesn't answer, but the look she gives you is enough"What were you even doing all the way out there?">A pause drags out the conversation, and the dream>It feels like the air is getting dragged out and drawn taut>Then it snaps back as she speaks>"In truth, we have... suspicions about you. Even now, we were approaching Ponyville to observe you and come to what conclusion we could.""Don't you have other ponies you could send to spy on me?">"We were not-!" She bites back her words before she can back your ears ring, and calms. "We were simply there to observe, then... we saw the contest between yourself and Rainbow Dash.">Right>She'd saved your life"Thanks, by the way"
>>42606491>This seems to stop whatever tangent she'd planned to go on>As if shocked by your gratitude somehow>You're not really sure what to say beyond the thanks, so you simply nod and wait>Myriad emotions cross through her face, most of them you can't read>Probably because she's not as expressive as any other pony you've met>Everyone else seems to wear their emotions on their sleeves, proudly>But she hides it better than you or any human could>It's almost unnerving>A blink seems to click her mind to a decision as she focuses on you again>Then she begins to circle you again>"You are a curiosity, not so much for who or what you are, but rather for what you aren't. Things you don't know, things you don't do.">Windows open around you, and as you peer through, you see all the months you spent away from anyone or anything>Memories>You didn't even realize you remembered this much>There are things that you definitely don't remember>Ponies trying to get your attention>Trying to talk to you>And you simply ignored them>Walking past them>Like they were ghosts, not even there in the first place>Basic things you needed to learn that foals did>From one dark and gloomy window you hear panting, and the howling of wolves>You, stumbling over your own hooves, your wings splaying out wildly at your sides as you fail to control them>Then another window, that refuses to open, refuses to show anything>Luna looks between you and it>But you resolutely stay where you are>Uninterested in showing her any of that>It's not important while you're here anyway>Besides, knowing your luck, you'll disappear from here as mysteriously and suddenly as you appeared>Luna sighs, and for a moment, she genuinely looks disappointed>"We wish we could trust you, we wish we could trust all our little ponies, as our sister does.">She stands before you and the cold metal of her hoof's shoes touches your chin and makes you look up at her, and it takes a lot of will to not wither under the cold blue and thin pupils of her gaze.>"Every part of us tells us not to trust you, that there is something... wrong with you.">That does make you wince>But only for a moment as you force yourself to match her gaze again>"And yet..." Another window slides open, and the sounds of fillies laughing, and water splashing echoes into the dream. "Subjects we are rather fond of swear by you, though they barely know ought of but thy name">The windows slam shut, and fade to dust, returning the dream to a quiet night>She walks up steps you can't see to a moon that hangs far too close to you both>Before she can step through it as it glows again, she turns her head to look at you once more through the corner of her eye>"Do not betray their trust, Anonymous, we loathe the idea of seeing them hurt">You're response is simply to hum and look away>The glow remains for a few moments more, then fades, as hoofsteps echo into the distance
>>42606495>With the light fading, the dream seems to fade with it, and you feel a heavy weight fall over your eyes as you slump forward<>>Awareness comes to you quickly but gently>One moment you're asleep>The next you're awake>But nothing startles you up>Nothing sends your adrenaline pumping>You're simply back in your room>A small shift is all you need to know you're still with wings and hooves>It may not be the norm>But you're getting used to it>And you hate the fact that you don't hate that fact as much as you used to>Your wings don't hurt as much>But you're not flying on them today>With a small shift, you slip out of bed>Glancing at the clock, you see that it's morning>How are you supposed to tell the factory that you aren't coming in?>Ponies don't have phones>Do you send a letter?>Do you even have a postbox?>Questions later>Breakfast now>As you stroll into the living, you notice your couch is rainbow free>And one of your breakfast bar wrappers is on the table>Empty>The nerve>Also there's a turtle on your couch>And there's a propeller on his back>Are you still dreaming?>You bang your head against a nearby wall as a test>Pain>Not a dream>The turtle lazily turns to you, a piece of paper in its mouth>A piece of paper that its slowly chewing and eating>You really don't want to put your mouth near that thing>It looks ancient>You also really don't want to put your feathers near its mouth>So you poke its face with your hoof until it drops the paper>Thankfully it does so before its drool can completely destroy it>'Hey Anon, this is Tank, he got lonely yesterday cause I was hanging out with you all day. You don't mind taking care of him for the day, right? I'm gonna cover your shift at the factory, so don't worry about that'>'P.S. Remember, he's a tortoise, not a turtle'>You're gonna tease her for being such a nerd when you see her next>With not much to do you fix yourself up a quick breakfast and try to make something for Tank>He seems happy enough with the food as he slowly eats through it>When he finishes, he seems to relax on the couch>What the hell did that prism mare expect you to do in this situation?>You look over to Tank, and he looks over to you"So... how long have you been Rainbow Dash's pet?">He blinks each eye, slowly and individually>It's kind of weird>Then his propeller glows for a second and lifts him off the couch for a moment before landing again>You look back at your wings and flap them experimentally>Still painful>Flopping back on the couch you glance at Tank's little flying attachment"Show off">He blinks>You blink>Today's gonna be boring
>>42606502>Some part of you regrets not moving into Cloudsdale>Your wings may as well be busted for how much you can use them>And you're currently stranded in a house that's maybe close to a mile off the ground>Seriously, it's like these pegasi live in the stratosphere>On the plus side, you could spit over the side of your house and hit somepony>Down side being you wouldn't be able to see it>You're currently circling the edge of your house>While you won't be flying today, you can stretch your wings out without too much pain>So even if you fumble and trip over your own hooves off the edge of your house you'd survive>But that's the problem>You'd only survive>And now you have a tortoise to look after>Not to mention the fact you have no real way of getting back up here>Fluttershy doesn't seem like that strong a flier>And you'd probably look crazy asking some of the random pegasi on the ground for help>Wait->You knock a hoof to your head>Those were the kind of thoughts Rainbow was working to convince you weren't true>Still, that aside>You'd rather ask someone you know for help>Like Flitter, or Cloud Chaser>And you're not sure if they'd go all the way to Ponyville for a lunch break>With a sigh, you sit your haunches on the cloud>Here you are>Stranded on a sky island>If you lived in Cloudsdale you could just hop from cloud to cloud>Maybe even visit Hot Stuff and her family>But no, you, paranoid as you were, insisted on isolation>You're reminded that you're not completely alone though by a wrinkled face slowly headbutting your side>Looking down you see Tank's blank green face looking back up at you>What does a tortoise do for fun?>Aside from waddle everywhere slowly>Well, he's Rainbow Dash's pet, so that gives you some clues>She probably takes him on fast flights>That's not on the menu today>For all you know she plays with Wonderbolt action figures with him>What else?>Daring Do>The name pings in your mind suddenly>You did ask Twilight to send you any spare books of it she had while at the lake yesterday>No way down to collect them though>A sudden, shrill ring and a burst of purple out of your peripheral nearly makes you jump out of your feathers>Tank seems just as surprised, letting out what seems like a scream as he shrinks completely into his shell>It spins slightly and wobbles towards the edge>You quickly grab him and place him onto your back>Damn, what's his shell made of? Concrete>Looking over to the source of the light and noise, you see a box has appeared on your doorstep>Just appeared>Out of nowhere>Magic>Walking over to the box you poke it with a bit of hesitance>You feel Tank peek his head slightly out of his shell>The both of you share a brief look before you shrug and kneel to the box>'To Anon, please don't crease or fold the pages and be careful with the spines'>O...kay...>You open the box, not sure what you were expecting
>>42606512>But you're pleasantly surprised to see half a dozen Daring Do books staring back at you>Oh>It's from Twilight>Would it kill her to sign her mail>Also how did she get this up here?>You go back to the edge of your house and look over it>No sign of anything purple below>Strange>But you can't be bothered to care at this point>Heading into the house, you bite an edge of the box and carry it in>Putting it down on the couch, you shift Tank onto one of the cushions as you look through the books>After a while, you're able to determine which one is the first in the series and stack the others to the side"Alright, Tank, guess it's a lazy day today">The tortoise slowly moves over beside you and lays down>With a flick of your muzzle you open the book to the first page and begin reading through>After a while, you turn the page, only to notice Tank moving out of your peripherals>You don't pay it much mind initially>Until his foot comes down on the page and tries to turn it back>The page almost bends awkwardly under his stiff movement so you shift his foot and turn the page back>If he's as slow to read as he is to move you're going to be here a while>After a few minutes you try to turn the page again, only to be stopped again>You bring a hoof to your face and get up from the couch"Dude, I'm gonna... I don't know, do something for a while, just read on without me." You sigh with a shake of your head as you hop off the table. "Don't worry, I'll be able to catch up." You mutter>A snap and tug on your tail pulls your attention back to the tortoise"What? Are you hungry?">He shakes his head"Thirsty?">Another no"Do you want me to jump off this cloud">He shakes his head a little faster, you think"Well, that makes one of us">Paper crinkles as he pokes the page over and over"You... can't read?">Another no"Then what!? What do you want!?">You're almost gaining a new appreciation for the prism pony for being able to put up with this thing>Tank begins alternating between poking the page, poking you, then poking himself"You... want to read together?">Finally, a nod"I'm confused as to what we've been doing for the last," you check the clock, "twenty minutes">He then points to you again, then his mouth and opens and shuts it as he pokes the page, and it begins to click"You want me to read to you?">Another nod"You're serious?">A third nod>Your wings sag as you sigh and clamber back onto the couch>Tank shifts against your side, and you quickly realize he's pressing slightly against you>Despite the slight headache, he really is a sweet pet>With a wing draped over the tortoise for extra warmth and comfort, you turn the book back to the page and started again"As Daring Do trekked through the tropical jungle, the wet heat sapped her energy, and slowed her every step."<>>Time passed you and Tank by, and before you knew it, it was way past lunch time o'clock>What do tortoises eat?>Rainbow Dash's note doesn't say
>>42606516>Meh, they're vegetarians like you>You'll just make him some of what you make for yourself>After a brief rummage through the kitchen, the time of which, it takes Tank to go from the couch to your table just a few feet away, you've rustled up some good green grub>He smiles and digs into the salad at a slow pace>You try to join him, emphasis on slow, but your slowest speed is like ten times faster than his>As you finish yours, you see he's not even halfway done>And showing no signs of stopping>With a hop back and forth you grab the book and bring it back to the table and continue reading>You're barely a paragraph in before you stop>There's a knock on the door>Can't be Rainbow Dash, she'd act like she owns the place>One of the others maybe?>Has the apple hick finally come for the tree you decided to keep?>You flick your eyes to the corner of the room where the tree rests>It really does tie the whole place together>You never thought you'd be willing to die for interior decoration, yet here you are>The door opens, and where you expected a southern, stetson wearing cowpony, you're instead met with a pink coated colt"Mach?">"Hi, Mi- Mister Anon" The words are polite, but awkward, as if practiced"Anon's fine. What are you doing out here?" You look across your yard and see no sign of Hot Stuff or Short Fuse>He seems to brighten a little at your casual demeanour>"I finished my chores early and asked my mom and dad and they said it was okay to come here""Really?" Is what you ask>REALLY!? Is what you're thinking>You know these ponies were trusting but this is something else>They barely know you beyond the tips you leave them and they're willing to trust you with one of their kids?>Speaking of"How'd you even get here?">"I flew, duh" He says, flittering his wings"By yourself?">He was less than half your size and Cloudsdale must have been miles away>Maybe more if it drifted>"I've always been a fast flier" He says with no small amount of pride>Although, now that you're looking closer>He's sweating>Heavily>And trying to resist the clear urge he has to pant"Kid, breathe" You say, simply>"Wh- what, I- I'm fine, m- my lungs are great, I could d- do laps">The more he talks, the more the facade cracks>A lot of pride, not so much age, and probably trying to make a good first impression>You've never claimed to be good with kids but you don't want him passing out in front of you>With a crouch you poke his chest gently and some of the breath he was trying to hold spills"Mach... breathe." You say again, firmer>You bring a hoof to your chest, breathe in, then slowly breathe out>Mach quickly follows suit, finally sagging as he tries catching his breath>He then attempts to match his breathing with you>When you're certain he's getting air back you guide him into your house and shoo him over to the couch"Rest. I'm getting you some water.">The couch lets out a soft thud and Mach lets out a small groan
>>42606519>You hear the snapping of jaws and look over to see Tank approaching your newest guest>"Cool turtle" Mach says, patting Tank's shell"It's a tortoise" You correct>"What's the difference?""I have no idea" You admit as you bring him a glass of water>He chugs it so fast it's as if it was never there to begin with>You had made yourself one too but decide to slide him that one as well>This one he takes at a much more measured pace, but still finishes>You weren't thirsty anyway>"Thanks, Anon""Why are you here, Mach?" You finally decide to ask now that he's somewhat rested from his flight>Some part of you goes through the worst-case scenarios in your head>You shake them away a second later>This is Equestria>Things are fine here>You didn't need to wait for the other shoe to drop>There are no shoes to drop here>Except horseshoes>Do those count?>You're getting off-topic>You shake your thoughts away and turn back to Mach who was idly spinning his glass in his lap>"I heard you got hurt real bad.">His voice is childish, but his words are serious>You don't know what his folks told him cause you don't know how much they know>They might have seen you fly past->Ooooooh>Did he see you fall too?>Your eyes flick to him and you see him shrink into himself>Damn it>How do you comfort a small child that almost saw you paint the ground?>Your eyes turn to Tank, hoping he might have some insight>One eye slowly blinks, then the other>You don't know what you expected>Instinctively, you simply hum and shrug"I walked it off." You half-joke>He seems to appreciate your casual tone again as he relaxes>Were Hot Stuff and Short Fuse tense about you?>Why would they be?>You're just a custo->Do they already see you as a friend?>Confound these ponies"Just don't get any ideas about doing what I did though, alright Mach?" Your eyes meet his to make sure he's taking you seriously>He tenses ever so slightly then nods>You tousle his mane with a glad smile>Definitely a good kid>Hopefully not too influenceable>But if he is, hopefully you can guide him in the right direction>"But... but...", he starts, and seems to strain himself slightly "you were", then his wings start to buzz as he bolts up, "SO! COOL!">Cool?>You?>"I mean, you were all, SHWOOSH, ZWHOOM!" Mach takes off like a rocket, spinning Tank on his shell as he does>A hoof to Tank stops him as you turn him back right side up>As Mach flies around your home, doing turns and flips that you definitely didn't do. "And- and then you did that upward screw turn!">He barrels through your ceiling>You're not paying to fix that>The weather factory probably won't notice a small bit of missing cloud>"And you beat Rainbow Dash!" He lands as quickly as he rose beside you, almost making you jump>Was that really so impressive?"I thought the Thunderbolts were the impressive ones around here">Tank bites you>Not hard>But the attempt hurts>"Wonderbolts"
>>42606521>Seems they were both displeased by your faux pas>Right. Them.>"And, yeah, she's not one of them, but she did the Sonic Rainboom!""The sonic what now?">This is new>He looks at you like you just grew a second head>So does Tank>You've never seen so much emotion on a tortoise's face>"You don't know what the Sonic Rainboom is!? Have-""-I been living under a rock?" You finish his sentence for him. "Yes. I get that a lot.">He shrinks a bit as he realizes what he was about to say. "Sorry">You wave him off with a chuckle"Relax, kid, like I said, I get that a lot. What even is this Sonic Raincloud?">"It's the Sonic Rainboom, she did it at the best young flyer competition a while ago, and it's supposed to be an urban legend, but she did it!">No wonder this kid flies around so fast>You're already exhausted from his energy"Okay but what IS it?" You ask>"Well, apparently you break a... um-" he pauses as he tries to put it into words>His parents probably explained it, but you'd bet they used things he hadn't been taught in school yet>"You break the something barrier and create a circular rainbow that goes out for miles""The... sound barrier?">"Yeah! That was it!" He bounces excitedly as you fill in the gap, then slows. "What's the sound barrier?">You briefly ignore his question as you try to wrap your head around what you just learned"You're telling me Rainbow Dash can go at mach speed?">Tank nods slowly with a small smile on his face, seemingly proud of his owner>"Hey, that's my name!" He chirps>How the hell do you explain the scientific intricacies of sound waves to a child?>You sigh and decide to take the easy route and not bother trying"Yes. Yes it is." You answer>Mach>Seriously!? Mach speed!?>How durable is she?>How durable are you?>Questions for later>"Is that tree real?">Like most kids, Mach's attention focuses on the next thing his eyes land on>You hum as you look up and nod"Yeah, why?">"We don't normally get real trees up here except for Hearth's Warming">You're about to ask what that is, but you've already stuck your hoof in your mouth enough for the day"Well, I imagine it's a heavy haul">"No, apparently stuff from the ground can't stay in clouds like we can unless you use magic. I don't really get it">You don't really get it either>But you have to pretend like you do cause every other adult does"It's there cause of a prank, a... friend? of mine is a unicorn, she probably did it to help the one who put it there">He snickers to himself as he flits around the tree. "Your friends sound fun">His words briefly make you pause for a moment before a smile inches onto your muzzle"Yeah, they're alright.">He sits in one of the boughs of the tree, in awe for some reason>Has he rarely been on the ground, or is it just the novelty of it?"What about you?" You ask. He hums as he looks away from the tree to you. "Your friends.">His bright posture dims as his wings go slack beside him
>>42606525>"They- they're-!" He tries to muster up some lie, but chokes on the words>You don't say anything>Neither does he>God you suck at this>What would one of those ponies say?>Probably something he's heard a million times already>"They... they make fun of me at school." You feel your heart ache at his words. "Call me Mock Speed, say I can't fly, I'm smaller than them, and I've got my stupid mom's stupid pink coat-">He chokes down a sob as he hugs himself>Probably been holding it in for a while>You're not sure which is making him cry more>Being made fun of for his pink coat>Or the fact he just called his mom stupid>He strikes you as a through-and-through mama's colt>He stifles as his sobs subside. "I just wish they'd leave me alone...""I know that feeling" You murmur out the words before you even register them as a thought>His head snaps up to look at you>"You do?" His voice is weak>You unfurl one of your wings and flinch at the slight pain that ripples up through it as your graze the feathers with a hoof"I... have been here for about six... going on seven months now?" You pause briefly as the reality of what you're about to say makes a lump in your throat that you have to swallow. "And I have been... alone, until a few weeks ago... when Rainbow Dash first talked to me.">He sniffles again, and wipes at his eyes, trying to go back to putting on a tough face>"Yeah, not having friends suck, but- but what's your family like?" He asks, a small beat of hope in the question>Your eyes meet, and some part of you wants to lie about your situation>To keep the cheerful mood going for his sake>But you get the feeling that's what he gets at home>And he probably gets enough of it there"No, Mach. I- I'm just alone." You say, lightly shaking your head>He pauses briefly, seemingly not processing your words, then, you see in his eyes how they sink in>His head hangs low in the boughs"Look, if kids are bullying you, you can always just fly into their heads. That oughta put them off the idea." You offer>It's probably not what he wants to hear>But you don't know what he wants to hear>"...that's why I came here">You hum at his words, confused>"You were the only one... who didn't yell at me when I crashed into them">So that's why he flinched back at Hot Stuff's>"You seemed nice and... I... I just wanted to hang out with somepony">You sigh and mull over his words, and try to think of some kind of response"Look, Mach, you can't make peo- ponies be your friend. But you don't want to either." This draws his attention again. "You've probably heard this a zillion times at home, so it's probably lost a lot of meaning, so take it from someone on the outside. You're a good kid." He slowly perks up a little at your words. "Give it time, and you'll find that your friends will come to you, and you'll find them in the most unlikely of places.">Like in a field you crashed into>The thought makes you smile>"Can we be friends?"
>>42606529>The question makes your head snap up to look at him again>He's bouncing slightly on the tree>Friends with a kid less than half your age>Your mind is setting off more red alerts than you can process>Then they start to calm as you remind yourself the things you've seen>Rainbow has Scootaloo>And his parents trust you for some reason>That sounds nice>A smile crosses your muzzle as you go to reply>Then there's a sinking feeling in your chest>Why did such a heavy breeze flow in?>Why is there a hole in your wall?>Where's the tree?>Where's Mach!?“KID!”>You feel your give as you launch yourself off the couch>Nothing's broken so you force the muscles to snap your wings correct and soar down>You can't see any pink, only the brown trunk>And it's getting further away>It feels like you're setting your wings on fire as you force them to fly faster>Faster than you ever have before>You finally start to catch up to the tree>Latching onto it, the wind tries to rip the air out of your lungs as the fire in your wings burns hotter with each second"MACH!?">All you get in response is a fearful scream that gets whipped away by the wind>You're forced to awkwardly scramble through the tree as it flips, turns and spins through the air>Tears get pulled from your eyes from the wind speed but you see a blur of pink squirming in the tree>You force yourself towards him, your wings, unable to click to your sides getting tangled in the branches>The pain doesn't stop you as you reach up and grab hold of something soft and fuzzy>With a small yank you pull him into you and he clings to your chest>You look around but you don't know which way is up and your wings are still snagged in the branches>Bracing your hooves against the trunk, you simply push>It takes a few of whatever precious seconds you have, but your hooves win out>You let out a yell of pain as you feel your wing tear itself out from how it tangled itself around a branch and you launch yourself through snapping twigs and branches out of the tree>You're in the open air>But your wings refuse to talk to you anymore after what you did>All you can do to orientate yourself is realize you're about to crash into a very familiar forest>The one that's haunted your nightmares since you got here>The one you swore you'd never go back to>You tuck Mach close as you curl into a ball and turn your back towards the trees>This is gonna hurt

You ask, voicing the confusion swirling in your head>"Mom said that you used to live here or something..." Mach trails off>The absurdity of the idea is enough to put you somewhat at ease as you let out a light laugh and continue moving"No," you try to squeeze out between chuckles, "no, I didn't live here Mach but I...">How do you explain this to a child without giving away what happened?"I... had to take a path through here to get from where I'm from to Ponyville. I... got lost, and, well eventually got out.">You decide to leave out the parts about how you took a crash course on quadrapedal locomotion by running for your life>"Oh! So you have been here before!" He says, happily, and you hear him mutter some reassurances to himself>Now if only you could find anything like a landmark or something slightly familiar>Unfortunately you're pretty sure you're seeing this part of the forest loop>But you're not going to let panic set in>That's probably what it wants>One hoof in front of the other>Keep going until you're out>Then your mind decides to pull out the other possibilities if you can't get out"Hey Mach," you start casually, "how you feeling bud? Think you can fly?"
>>42606551>Mach seems to jolt on your back, then you hear the rapid fluttering of his wings as he lifts from you>His face tells you he had somehow forgotten about flight>Your smirk puts him at ease"You mind poking your head above the trees? I think we're close to town, but I want to orient myself">He gives a glad nod>Whether it's because he's reassured by your words, or because he's eager to get out of this forest, you're not sure>He zips up, leaving behind only a rustling noise and a few wayward leaves floating down around you>Without his presence on your back you now feel a sudden and distinct chill run down your spine>And it's only now that your ears catch a noise>Growling>You look over your shoulder>For a moment your eyes trick you>Some part of you wants to believe they're just fireflies>Two glowing green orbs hovering in the shade>But you know what they are>Timber wolves>You might not have researched much when you got out of this forsaken forest>But you did look into them>Now it seems like your old friends are back>What's most unfortunate>Is the fact that they seem to remember you>A paw briefly creeps out towards you>The shadows seeming to stick to it as it crawls forward>Yet as soon as it approached, it retreats>With a cheer, a pink blur comes back down to you>Mach is excitedly pointing and making other motions>You see out of your peripherals that his mouth is moving>But your ears don't hear him>They only hear the low growling fade as the green lights fade back into darkness>And even after, you wait to hear more>"-ymous?">Your attention snaps back to Mach"Huh- wha?">He looks between you and where you were looking, only to end up confused"Sorry kid, got lost in my own head, what's up?">"Ponyville! It's that way!" He says, pointing just a bit to the side of where you were heading. "I think it's like, less than an hour away.""Well then what are we waiting for?" You say with a glad smile>You're surprised when he choose to hop back onto your back, but you don't complain>With one last glance back at where you'd seen the wolves, you plant your hoof and begin making tracks to town
>>42606554>With some idea of where to go there was finally a pep in your step>It's strange>You didn't think you had any pep>Yet here you are>Walking through a weird forest full of things that hate you personally>At least that's how it feels>And yet you find Mach standing on your shoulders and head, singing some foal's song>Apparently it's common>Yet another thing you didn't know that you had to explain away>But still, for as many as he had, you had just as many>Bare necessities was an immediate hit with the little colt>You're pretty sure you even heard horns somewhere in this forest>This place is weird>Hopefully you'll be leaving it behind you soon>Hopefully>It's been a while>Eventually you send Mach up through the trees again>And again things come prowling>More this time>But as soon as the green glow blinked into existed, it faded again>As soon as Mach returned>Kid's becoming your good luck charm>"Anon, we got turned around">What?"Which way do we need to go?">Mach points, and you turn and head off again>More determined this time>As much as the good tunes kept your mind off the situation, they distracted you>Now you're focused on keeping your path straight>At least you thought you were>You're drenched in sweat>Mach's back above the trees>You don't know how long you've been in this forest anymore>And your wing and head are conspiring to kill you>At least the gash on your head seems to have healed>Not very helpful in the grand scheme of things>Especially since you still have an audience>Dozens of green glowing eyes>Encircling you"Please let us be closer">You don't know who you're speaking too>Mach hasn't come back down yet>Until you hear his wings>Not the same shrill zip of speed>Slow, heavy flaps>He lands in front of you>He looks tired>You crane your neck up>The sky's gone from blue to orange>"Are we gonna be out soon, Anon?">You don't answer him>Because you don't know>You don't even remember how you got out of here the first time>There was running, then you blacked out, then you woke up in a hospital surrounded by horses>Next thing you knew you'd started a whole new life>Who knew it was that easy>It took a day to start a new life>And it's taken one day for it to go down the toilet>Your breath comes out hard and heavy>The hooves in front of you shake just to keep you upright and sitting>Growls come to your ears>Mach quickly hides himself between your legs>You cast your tired eyes across the treeline>They're not backing off this time>Again, the shadows stick to them as they creep forward>Then the shadows relent as they step forward again>You officially need to get Mach out>And for some reason, this place won't let you leave"Mach">With whatever strength you have, you pick him up>A flick of your hoof and he hovers himself in the air"Fly to Ponyville">You don't take your eyes off the timber wolves as you speak>They seem to pause whenever your gaze lands on one of them
>>42606557>Which means at least one of them is always getting closer>"What about you?">They're getting closer"What ABOUT me?" You snap back>He seems to shrink back, unsure, his scared gaze looking between the wolves and you>"Fr- friends don't-">You can see it in their legs>Tension>A shifting of the jaws>They're gonna lunge>And Mach's still here>And it's gonna be your fault"I said GET LOST, KID!">Your bellowing shout in his face is enough to scare him out of his fear of the wolves as he shoots out from the trees>Then it's quiet>Quiet enough for you to hear the echoes of the tearful cry you caused>And a branch snaps>Your eyes snap to the wolves>It never would have occured to you that wood could look smug"Hooves, don't fail me now">Some small part of you reprimands you for focusing on your wings so much>You wait>The timberwolves wait>You're still enough to feel the adrenaline wearing off>It's not fun>With a growl like a starting gun, they lunge>And so do you>It seems to catch one slightly off-guard to see you so aggressive>As your front hooves smash into the wood it feels like kicking a tree>Hurts like it too>But you persist>Using the wolf's head as leverage, you jump again and launch yourself out of the circle>Then it's time for round two of your mad dash though this place>A single howl soon echoes into a choir of dozens of calls>Then there's a flood of bright green in your peripherals>Ignore it>Keep running>Your legs are not burning>There's no bile in your throat>And you definitely don't want to collapse>You're fine>With little thought, you dart between the trees>The only joy you take, is the noise of these stupid dogs slamming into the trees and whining>It's all very familiar>Stumbling over your own hooves>Wings flailing at your side>Fangs gnashing at your heels>And you're still green>Sadly, without your good luck charm, your luck doesn't lead you out>Instead you get tackled into a clearing>You haphazardly grab a rock and shove it up>Connection>One hoof holds the wolf's jaw from the bottom>The other comes down hard on it's head>You were expecting many things>You weren't expecting it's head to explode>Now you're covered in twigs and sap>A nice addition to all the mud and bits of blood you've collected>With more effort than you'd care for you throw the limp wooden cadaver off you>At least, it was supposed to be a cadaver>Instead, the wood fragments reconnect into a head>Because of course they can reconstruct themselves>And now it's even angrier"Surrounded by wooden wolves on an alien planet with a broken wing." You let the absurdity that has become your life sink in. "Sure, I can think of worse ways to go.">It jumps at you>Your legs buckle>Pain arcs up your spine as you're slammed into a tree>Before it can get you it flinches back>Like they've done before>At this point you wish they'd just make their minds up
>>42606561>Then, a step strong enough for you to feel the vibrations comes into the clearing>A tiger's front and head, a goat's head on it's back, and a snake for a tail>Either you hit your head so hard you're in a delusional coma, or this place is beyond weird>"So you're what that smell was""Of course you talk">With a roar, the wolves all scatter>Save for the one in front of you>It hesitate to leave now that it finally has you>Only for a moment though>Your eyes glance to the new prowling thing"Just you and me now, freak" You murmur>"Funny, we were about to say the same thing">Oh, all of it's heads talk>"We tttthhhhhought there wassss new prey here, but you're jussst a pony" The snake hisses out at you>"No, wait," the tiger seems to stop the whole body as she leans closer to you, "there, under the pony smell-" she backs away a little, a paw over her nose, "something foul. Old and burning.">Smog maybe?>You didn't realize something like that could cling so deeply>"Who caressss," the snake demands, "we came all this way, and I'm starving">Something in you finally sees something funny in all this and you can't help the laugh that rattles out of your chest>Your mirth gives the creature pause as you pry yourself off the tree with a wet slick from your sweat"At least I'm gonna go out without having paid taxes in a few months">Your lips curl up in a smirk as you flex your remaining good wing at the trio>It isn't quite as effective as fingers, but the gesture seems to be universal as they glare at your single, extended primary feather>With one last heaving breath you lean to your side and clamp your teeth down on your wing>A twist of your head snaps it back to your side and sends a wave painful heat and much needed adrenaline through your system>You charge at the creature, and, as it leaps, slide below it>Your hind hooves rear back and manage to slam them into something sensitive, if the yelp the three heads give out is any indicator>With a fury of their own, the snake coils up and slams into your side, quickly knocking the wind and adrenaline out of you>You did better than you assumed you would>The creature finally approaches you again, and you simply close your eyes>What else was there to do but dream?>"ANON!">Your eyes snap open>Never before have you been so happy to hear such a scratchy voice>In a blur of myriad colours, you're swept up and away from the chimera creature>Your head hangs limp, barely any strength to even move your neck>Below you're surprised to see Applejack doing... something to it while Twilight teleports back and forth, blasting it as she goes>Fluttershy hovers around it, and she's either trying to talk to it or shoo it away>Pinkie meanwhile has made a life-size balloon animal replica of it>Even Rarity's down there
>>42606564>With more effort than you'd care to admit you turn your head to face Rainbow>Against the sunset's glow your struck by the sight of her>You're still not sure if this is a delusional coma yet>Eventually though, you find your voice"Hey there, you come here often?">Any worry she had in her eyes dissipates in an instant as her head goes back in laughter>"Apparently not often enough, how do you go from tortoise-sitting to chimera-wrestling?""What? I'm not allowed to have hobbies?">She shakes her head lightly and twists to deposit you on her back>You briefly hear her mutter a soft "idiot" under her breath as she flies towards Ponyville"Hey, Rainbow?" You feel your mind finally ready to turn off, but one question demands an answer>"We'll get you to the hospital soon buddy""No, no- how- how's Mach-">You don't get an answer as you finally black out
>>42606568"-then it tried to eat me and that's when you girls showed up">You finish the story with a lackadaisical ease>You're not sure if that's because of your normal attitude, or the painkillers going through your system>Can't even feel your own wing>Some part of your mind reels at the thought and demands you check it's still there>It is>Like the hundred other times you've checked>Absentmindedly, you glance to your side>Your good wing's still a bit sore, but tickles your side just fine>On the other side, your wing's been put into a full cast>With the bandages before, you could still move the wing>Now it's been effectively tied down and put stiff against you>It's been nearly a week since your time in the forest>Apparently the doctor's didn't trust you to not hurt yourself after what happened>So they kept you asleep for a few days so you could properly recover>Now you're enjoying some down time in Sugarcube Corner>"Oh... my- that must have been so terrifying." Fluttershy meekly says>You pull your eyes up from your wings>The girls had been silent while you'd told them what happened>It started with you telling them about Mach's arrival at your house>You're not sure how long you've been talking>An hour maybe?>Only now do you realize you've forgotten to gauge reactions>Fluttershy's practically hiding behind her wings>The others are various levels of concerned and shocked>Pinkie's even paused halfway through eating her muffin>It's just hanging in the air, suspended by nothing>Stange mare>Though maybe the strange one is Rainbow>She's the only one unbothered>In fact, she looks proud>Casually lounging on a nearby banister with a grin>"You mean how we all saved your butt, right Anon?""Yes, Rainbow," you draw out with a teasing smile of your own, "you saved me">"Like a hero!" She says, zipping above your table, striking a pose mid-air"My hero..." You say with a roll of your eyes and a small chuckle. "How'd you even find me?">Your questions seems to snap Twilight out of her thoughts as she clears her throat>"That little colt, um... Mach. We'd heard from Fluttershy that she'd seen something crash into the Everfree, so we went to investigate.">"Oh, but when we got there..." Rarity adds, joining the conversation. "The poor thing was inconsolable, crying and pointing, we were just barely able to make out your name">Something in her words don't add up>Either you're bad at maths, or you're bad at geography"It felt like I'd spent hours in that forest, how did you all find me so quickly?">"Ummm, hello? Rainbow Dash here. Cool. Hot. Faster than you. We've met." Rainbow says, a sarcastic snark to her words.>You choose not to retort, simply hiding your own amused smirk behind a milkshake>"I'm not surprised that colt was all shook up if'n I'm honest." Applejack adds. "That forest ain't no place for foals, I just wish Applebloom and the girls would learn that.">You sag at that part
>>42606571>Of course they didn't know you were the reason he cried>First thing on the to-do list when you can fly again is to go to Hot Stuff's>Who are you kidding?>If you're lucky, the best you'll get is a frying pan to the head and banishment forever>They trusted you when they let Mach go to your house>And what happened!?>You got him stuck in a tree>Nearly let him fall to his death>Actually let him fall into a forest full of monsters>Then yelled at him>"Yo! Anon, you alright?" Rainbow's flipped herself upside down and closer than before>You jolt back a bit, but nod"Yeah, fine, just... thinking">"You've been through so much," Fluttershy says empathetically, "I've never met such a grouchy Chimera before""Those things are supposed to be pleasant?" You snip back at her>You physically pull yourself back as Fluttershy winces at your tone>A hoof rubs across your face>You'd been doing so well too>But you just can't help yourself, can you?>"W- well, the Chimera was a she, and she was just hungry from trekking so long. She'd been chased out..." Fluttershy trails off her words>The others are quick to reassure Fluttershy>Even Rainbow shoots a concerned look down at her friend>Taking that as your cue you throw a bag of bits on the table that slides over to Pinkie>With a small grunt you pick yourself up out of your chest>Your casted wing awkwardly swings into place beside you>Mrs. Cakes goodbye barely registers past the jingle of the door bell>The serenity of the quaint town is just barely enough to stir your spirits into not being completely down>With your wing all but literally tied behind your back, you take your time as you randomly go through the streets of the town>You come across more than you imagined in the backstreets and alleys>Hole in the wall restaurants, hobby shops hidden away in the nooks and crannies>All tended by the same level of friendliness you've seen anywhere else here>Eventually you come across a small bridge and decide to take a break sitting on it's side>Peering down at the crystal blue waters you spot a shadow coming against the current towards you, a slightly different shade of blue>"There you are!" Rainbow calls to you"Oh, hey Prism." You greet her with a tired smile>She groans, but then let's out an amused huff through her nose at your nickname>With a grace you wouldn't have expected of the daredevil pegasi, she lands on the wall with you>"What are you doing all the way out here? Everypony's wondering where you went">How do you explain that your mental gymnastics lead to you assuming they all hated you because of one slip up when you spoke?>You've already been through this talk with Rainbow about how ponies are a lot easier to talk to than you give them credit for>The best way to explain it, is to not explain at all"I needed to stretch my legs. I'm gonna be stuck on them for a while" It's not the truth, but it's not a lie either
>>42606576>"Hopefully not too long, yeah?" She says with a grin as she nudges your good wing. "I want you back in the air asap">That piques your curiosity"Why?">Despite the simple question, she looks at you like you've grown a second head>"Dude, do you know how hard it is to find another pegasus who's even close to as good as me?">You don't answer>Not that she'd let you as she immediately continues>"Not that you're anywhere actually close to me, but nopony else is willing to try." She finishes with a smug shrug of her shoulders"Still got you beat in altitude, Dash" You respond with a smug shrug of your own>She sputters slightly trying to come up with some way to twist your win to her favour>Eventually she decides to just wave it off, settling beside you>"Fine, you beat me," you're surprised anyone could have so much difficulty saying something so simple, "I still have you beaten in like- everything else when it comes to flying"Leaning back, you let the comforting warmth sink into your fur as you close your eyes "Whatever helps you sleep at night, Prism">"That's it!">And just like that, Dash had set a record for sitting still>5, maybe 10 seconds>She's on her hoof and pointing at you>"We're having another contest!">You crack open an eye and raise a brow at the mare, and shift your side with the wingcast>"Alright not a flying one-" she quickly corrects herself before her eyes dart around and land on the river. "Swimming! You can still swim, right?""Sure, I mean, I've got three extra pounds of medical cast strapped to one side so I'll probably end up swimming in circles, but yeah">Your sarcastic smirk is not lost on the pegasus>"Running?""Dash, unless you feel like strapping three pounds to your side to even things out, a lot of physical stuff is off the table">Rainbow sags, a small glare carved into her features>More annoyed at the situation than at you if you had to guess>"How... about..." She struggles with the thoughts as she tries to think of anything not to do with sports"Whoa, Prism, you're thinking too hard, don't hurt yourself" You say patting her on the back>She smacks you in the face with a wing, but you see a smirk despite her glare>"Reading!" She suddenly yells"Reading?" You respond>"Yeah! Something to do with the Daring Do books- I don't know what yet- speed? No, we'd have no way to prove- impressions maybe?">This mare continues to surprise you as she starts muttering to herself"Rainbow, your Twilight is showing">"Oh shut up, I'm not an egghead, I just like Daring Do""Next you'll be reading Confusius">"Kung-fu what?"You shake your head. "Nevermind. I don't have any Daring Do books, Twilight let me borrow some of hers when you left me with Tank, but she took them back a bit ago."
>>42606582>You're surprised and shrink your neck into your shoulders when she almost presses her muzzle into yours with a wide grin>"Did you read them all? Which was your favourite? Do you prefer Ahuizotl or Caballeron? Do you think she needed that sidekick in the third book or-">You place a hoof over her mile a minute mouth and push her back>A light dusting of pink settles on her cheeks for an instant before fading as she clears her throat>Trying, and failing, to get back some of her dignity as you chuckle"I didn't finish them-">"What!?">She's in your face again>Does this pony not understand the meaning of personal space>Again you push her back and roll your shoulders"I dunno, they just weren't my thing." You say with a casual shrug>"Well then you read 'em wrong. Here, I'll bring Tank over some time with them and I'll show you how great they really are""I mean, does it matter? They're just books for kids right?">Foals>You really need to remember the specific horse terminology>Luckily there's some overlap in this place>As you mention the idea of them being only for kids, several emotions cross Dash's face>Confusion, indignation, a sudden confidence>And then>A pause>She's clearly thinking to herself, switching her gaze between you and the ground and crinkling her muzzle>She clearly wants to say something>But whatever that something is, is conflicting her>Curious>Eventually she simply scoffs and shakes her head>"Look, just-" another pause, "just trust me, you'll see">You watch her for a moment>Then a moment more>She knows something you don't>Well, she knows a lot of things you don't>Not that you'd ever admit it>But something specific>She notices your suspicion and tries to act casual about it>Honestly, you're too tired to care>The painkillers are starting to wear off and your back hurts>Right now you just want to take a nap>With a stretch, you feel a series of relieving clicks roll down the length of your spine"If you insist, Rainbow. But maybe later, alright?">She gives a glad nod and a wide smile as she zips off into the air in a rainbow blur>Still a strange mare>But you've come to enjoy her company>You hop off the bridge's wall to the main path and begin heading in the direction of home>After you woke up you'd been informed that your house had been grounded>Standard practice for a pegasi home when your wings were as bad as yours were>Turns out you were lucky before>Either way, the short trip down the dirt path brings you to your house>If you kept on the path, you'd eventually hit Sweet Apple Acres>You couldn't prove it, but you know that apple pony had something to do with it>Luckily your far enough away to not hear the tree kicking at night>As you enter your home, the sound of crinkling paper reaches your ears>Envelopes at the door>You pick them up with your teeth and dump them on a nearby counter

>>42606596>"You'll never get away with this, Caballeron!" Daring Do shouted up through the metal cage"Ah, but, you see, Daring, I already have." Caballeron responded with no small amount of amusement as he slid the medallion over his neck. "But it need not end like this, we could... partner.">"As if I'd ever partner with a two-bit dropout." Daring spatCaballeron scoffed. "Please, that university is lucky to call Doctor Caballeron a-"---"Wait," you pause, holding up a hoof to Rainbow, sat across from you, "if he's a dropout, how is he a doctor?">"Cause that's his name?" Rainbow responds, raising a brow as if it were the most obvious thing"His... first name is Doctor?" You ask>"Yeah- well no, I mean- maybe?" Rainbow presses her hoof to her muzzle in thought, as if mentally flipping through all the Daring Do books for answers before shrugging. "It's sort of unclear cause he only ever gets called "Doctor" or "Caballeron" if he has a first name, we never hear it.""So, he went to a different school for his degree?" You try to clarify>Rainbow scoff. "He wishes, no he never got his PhD.""How do you even know that?" You ask exasperated as you turn the pages randomly. "Do we learn this in the book or in one of the other ones?">Rainbow is quick to bring her hoof down own and push your book back to where you are>"Dude! Don't spoil yourself, and A.K. Yearling revealed it in a Q&A at a convention.""So... you know it's not a title?">She nods"But we never hear a different first name?">"That's right""So it is his first name?">"...maybe? I mean, it's not the weirdest name to have. Ponyville hospital has Nurse Redheart after all.""I... guess that makes sense." You mull over your own thoughts. "But, a Q&A, really?">"Yeeeaaahhh" She draws out the answer, confused by your confusion>You couldn't stop the scoff and roll of your eyes if you tried>"What's that supposed to mean?" She asks, eyes narrowing"Well-" you stop yourself, "no, it's not important.">"No, no, no," Rainbow pushes, "what is it?">You sigh>You're gonna regret this>Oh well"I just think," you roll your hoof as you try to form your words in a way that conveys your thoughts, "that if an author can't have such a simple fact about a character come up naturally in the story, through, say, one of the thousands of cheap one-liners she spouts, then maybe she shouldn't reveal such information in a Q&A." You shrug as your eyes fall back to the page. "Seems lazy is all.">"Lazy!?" Rainbow all but yells as she jumps to her hooves>And there's the regret>"I'd like to see you come up with better one-liners in the heat of the moment!" She says, a huff through her nostrils flicking up a bit of the front of her mane"Well, sure," you start, "but Yearling has like... years to write these, and she can't come up with something better?"
>>42606606>"It's a record of what happened!" Rainbow briefly tenses before continuing. "I- I mean it's supposed to be written from the perspective of someone MAKING a record of what happened.""You'd think they'd make the heroine be a bit more suave then." You mutter with a smirk.>"And for the record, A.K. couldn't bring up the time Caballeron's lack of a doctorate came up, because then she'd have to reveal how Daring-" Rainbow again tenses and her jaw snaps shut>You raise a brow at her, waiting for her to finish>Seconds pass>Still waiting>A hoof wave in front of Rainbow's face>Not even a blink>Like a statue>It's slightly unnerving>You clear your throat"Ground control to Rainbow Dash" You tap her head and she finally snaps out of it>"Forget you heard that!" She shouts, sticking her hoof in your face>This reading session is proving to be more troublesome than it's worth>You're not even five chapters into this book"With gusto" Since one wing still works, you use it to bring down Dash's hoof from your face>Her breathing's a little off as she settles down again>"Sorry." She murmurs. "It's just-" Again, she stops herself, as if arguing about something. "I... once spoke with A.K. Yearling about it and she told me why she couldn't write it in, and it's a huge thing that she doesn't want fans to know, and she trusted me with-" as she goes into her rant she begins to speak faster and faster until you take your turn to put a hoof in front of her face"Can we just keep reading the book?" You ask>Her jaw clicks shut, and relief washes through her eyes at not needing to explain herself>She nods, and your eyes trace the page for where you left it---"Please, that university is lucky to call Doctor Caballeron a dropout of their insular little curriculum. But, you, Daring Do, you understand the true value of these artifacts" The dark earth pony said as the medallion twinkled in the torch light>"It's value, is its history!" Daring snapped back"The rhetoric of lesser minds! Of which I do not believe you are, Miss Do. There is power in these artifacts. Real, tangible power." Caballeron scoffed once more as he paced the cage. "But no! The universities would turn these marvels into museum pieces, to be gawked at by common laypony, and have foals by replicas for a hoofful of bits at the giftshop. Ancient perfection!" Caballeron exclaimed, ginning at his own reflection in the medallion. "Turned into paperweights."--->"Dude." Rainbow began>You groan and let your face hit the page"What?" You ask slowly>"Your Caballeron voice is all over the place.">You pause"What?" You ask, again, exasperated>"Here, let me show you." She clears her throat. "Your Caballeron is somewhere here," she begins, her usual scratchy voice replaced with a steadier pitch "when it need to be a bit more... here." Her voice becomes a bit deeper, with an accent you can't place. She coughs a little, and thankfully goes back to normal. "Like that, see?"
>>42606612"What kind of accent even was that?" Your brows knit together as your eyes narrow>Rainbow just shrugs. "I dunno what to tell you, that's what he sounds like.""You mean... that's what the character in the book in your head sounds like? What was wrong with mine?">Again, Dash pauses, her eyes widening a fraction>"I mean..." Rainbow's eyes dart back and forth. "At- at a con, Yearling had some professional actors voice some scenes, so...">Wow>She's REALLY into this series>You chuckle"Nerd.">Though muttered under your breath, Rainbow hears and glares>"I'd like to see you say that to my face" She glowers>Leaning forward a little, you push the tip of your wing into her snout"Nerd~" You tease out>She bats your wing away, going between chuckling, to sneezing, to glaring>"Just- read the book." She shuffles on the couch as you look back down, muttering to herself>Briefly, you look to the side, where Tank is sat, patiently watching you two bicker back and forth, a small smile on his wrinkled lips"So, remind me why we're reading aloud to Tank when you've already read the whole series with him twice?">Rainbow rolls her eyes>She has explained it to you>But you still find it to be weird>"With you here, it can be more engaging, more... immersive, cause you can do the guy voices.""Hooray" You say, unenthusiastically. "I get to be the sidekicks, villains, and nameless goon number one through seven">"And I get to be Daring Do and all her secret contacts." Rainbow says with no small amount of pride"Ego-tripping around the world? Story of your life." You say with a chuckle>Rainbow joins your chuckles before the two of you return to the book>At least she lets you take turns doing the narration>Despite yourself, you do find yourself slightly getting into the adventurous book>What Yearling lacks in snappy one-liners, she makes up for in her descriptions>You could almost see the places and artifacts she narrates as if they were right in front of you>Still doesn't make up that Daring had a one-liner where she rhymed "hench-pony" with "wrench phony">You argued with Rainbow Dash for a long time about whether that's a real phrase or not>It didn't actually matter to you, you just wanted to see how long you could get her to argue about something>As you glance down at the book, you notice yourself squinting at the pages more to focus>When did it get so dark?>Your peripheral vision is dimmer too>Looking over to the side, you see the sun starting to set outside your window"And, pause for the day" You say, casually closing the book>"What!? But we were just getting to the best part!" Rainbow protests>A hop takes you off the couch and you stretch out on the floor, enjoying the clicks going through your joints"Dash, we've been at the best part for the last few hours">You twist your hooves back and forth to get some blood flowing into them again, wincing ever so slightly at the pins and needles>"That's cause it's all good!"
>>42606616>Rainbow's in front of you again>Determination in her eyes>Along with your own reflection>Wow, you look as tired as you feel>With a click of your neck, you shrug at the pegasus mare"I'm tired Dash, good voices don't come from tired minds.">You hear her scuff her hoof against the floor of your house as she mutters>"Voices weren't even that great...""Oh, good!" You respond, smiling over your shoulder. "Guess we can stop this book club you set up!">"Wait no!" She quickly corrects, trotting after you into your kitchen "I just meant they could use some work""We'll work on them tomorrow, what kind of granola do you like?" You ask, hoping to change the subject>She just tilts her head at you"It's late, I need food, but I'm too tired to cook. So, granola." You say, holding up a chocolate granola, and a honey one>Dash looks between the snacks and then at you>You can't tell if that look is irritation from you dropping the book like a bag of hammers, or disbelief at your idea of a meal>Eventually she realizes your not joking and relents. "Fine. The chocolate one.""Too bad, it's the last one and I want it." You push the honey one to her chest as you awkwardly tear open your own and bite into it>Rainbow looks between your granola before flapping her wings into a half hover as she sits on your kitchen counter>While she's not as clumsy as you, you're at least glad to see that these wrappers aren't only your bane to open>Rainbow half-heartedly bites into her, occasionally shooting glances at yours "...Rarity would have let me have the last one.">That draws a laugh from you that you quickly have to stifle behind a hoof as a stray graola crumb falls to the floor"Well, if my mane ever goes purple and I lose my wings, then you can have the last one.">She scoffs a little at your rebuttal then chuckles as you both quickly finish your "meal">"How's the wing?" Rainbow asks as her energy from reading the book finally seems to ebb as she relaxes on the counter>You flap your good wing a little and shift your other as well as you can through the cast"They feel alright I guess. Just gotta follow the doctor's orders and I should be alright.">She nods along, a small smile on her lips, clearly still eager at the idea of making another bet with you>For some reason>"Well, I should go wake up Tank and head out." She says, hopping off your counter and sauntering back over to the tortoise>Her words make you pause though"Wait, he's asleep?" You follow after her, and sure enough, the tortoise is fast asleep>"Has been for a while actually." She states"Then... why were we still reading?" Your brows furrow in confusion>She hums at your question"We were reading so we could do the voices for him, if he was asleep, why did we keep reading?" You clarify>"I just..." Rainbow pauses and her eyes flicker around briefly before meeting yours again "didn't notice until now"
>>42606624"Rainbow, you can fly at mach speed, do you really think I'd believe you wouldn't notice a sleeping tortoise?">"Well you didn't notice either!" She says, accusingly pointing a hoof at you"Rainbow I regularly nosedive into the ground, and, until about a week ago, didn't know there was a difference between a turtle and a tortoise." You remind her>Your words seem to catch her as she sputters for a different explanation before simply huffing>"Whatever, bye Anon." She says, quickly setting Tank onto her back"Same time tomorrow?" You ask sarcastically, amused at experiencing the rare act of catching her out>She simply lets out an affirmative grunt before letting the door swing shut behind her"Same time tomorrow" You nod to yourself as you continue to smirk at the door>Your ears twitch as you catch the faint sound of powerful wings flapping as Rainbow carries herself away for the night
>>42606627>It was a strange feeling>Your feathers didn't have nerves>But then something would press into them>And you'd feel it>Like the wind>Or the ground>This was different though>Metal>Metal chains to be exact>Occasionally the links would pinch one and send a twinge up your wing>It wasn't quite pain>But it was a far cry from pleasant either>How did you even end up here?>"I apologize that I must leave you two so... tied up, but I have ponies to see, artifacts to sell">A terrible quip>An accent that's all over the place>Looking up, you see a brown pony with a five o'clock shadow>Doctor Caballeron>Honestly the weirdest part of him was the fact he wore clothes>You should really go visit Rarity at some point>And Rainbow's other friends>"You'll never get away with this!">There she is>Rainbow's tied up with you>And she's dressed as Daring Do>When did she start wearing clothes?>"Don't be so sure Daring Dash">That gives you pause>You look up at the new voice>It's what you can only assume is Daring Do>She fits the description at least>Weird, nonsensical situation?>No memory of how you got here?>You're dreaming again>You're not telling Rainbow about this>She has enough ego as is>But now you need to wake yourself up before that moon horse shows up again>"Dashing Do!?" The dream Rainbow asks>You can't help but chuckle to yourself at the butchery of names your brain is trying to cobble together into something coherent"Alright, I think I'm gonna wake up now">You briefly strain against the chains and they briefly go limp like noodles>"Leaving so soon?" Your imagined Daring Do asks. "But we wanted you to meet some friends of ours.">She lands next to Caballeron, seemingly allied with him>For... some reason>With a swift kick to the wall of the non-descript temple you're in, she laughs as cracks split their ways up the structure>Strangely enough there's a window across from you, completely untouched>And Applejack's kicking trees on the outside>Even in your dreams you can't get away from her>As the cracks splinter up and across the walls like spider webs, portions of stone break away, and green coils tumult out of the gaps>"You're not afraid of snakes are you?" Rainbow asks as you feel her struggle against the noodle chains>You have to shift a bit to get free>Apparently you don't have full dream control>But it's easy enough to slip out of them, though it is a bit of a squeeze"Not particularly-" you cut yourself off as you get a closer look at the 'snakes', "and those aren't snakes">Instead you're looking out at a proverbial sea of origami snakes with the head of Tank>Despite the fact you're asleep, you're already exhausted from seeing all this>You glance to your side and see your wings still bandaged and in a cast>With a brief amount of focus, you recall how your wings felt just a little over a week ago>Then, with a quick stretch, the cast and bandages move off
>>42606634>Bracing your legs you jump off and let out a sigh of relief as you feel no pain from your wings as you fly>At least>You should be flying>You're doing all the right things>But you're not moving>Just suspended in the air>Everypony and every turtle head is staring at you>With a sigh, you shut your eyes and focus again>It takes a moment, but the surroundings of the dream crumble and the imagined fakes disappear into a calm silence>You open your eyes, and you're flying>Properly this time>With movement and everything>A clear blue sky, with wisps of white cloud surround you>And it feels like home>Your gaze slowly turns upwards as it always does>You left your limits behind when you got these wings>But still, you can only go so high>Now that you're in a dream though?>Not even the sky's the limit>You turn upward and give heavy beats of your wings>With practiced ease, your breathing shifts to suit the thinner atmosphere>Then you remember that you have as much air as you need>You breathe deep and soar upward>Further and further>The clouds become thinner and thinner>Soon, even the blue of the sky above seems to stretch>It grows thinner>Paler>And gives way to deeper purple, that slowly turns to an inky black>Your breath catches as lights flicker in front of you>Stars appearing around you as best as you can remember them>You turn in the empty space, and feel yourself float>The chuckles that escape you are impossible to stop>You doubt that, even with all the magic this world has, you won't see this>And without the technology of your own, you definitely won't>But this is a close second>For a while you simply float through the empty void>One plus side of it being a dream means it isn't as dreadfully cold as you imagined the real thing was>Equestria, and the world you've come to inhabit floats below you, and slowly shrinks>Your wings flap behind you, like you're swimming backwards>Eventually you feel a small shift tug you down, uninvited>While it isn't a sudden fall, it's more like the string tied to a balloon losing helium>Your hooves kick up silver gray moondust as you land>With a hop and then a leap, again the softest tug pulls at you>You're still free>But leashed>Tethered>The moon rapidly expands before you, growing to a sea of dull rock, and the planet before is now like a marble in the sky>You tense your brow but your thoughts feel that they're in a tug of war with...>Something"Luna...">"So," a cool, regal voice echoes across the lunar wastes, "thou dost know our name">You really should have thrown yourself off the roof of that temple and woken yourself up>And you'd been doing so well>More than a week of dreamless sleep>With any dreams that did occur ending just as quick>You'd once asked about dreamcatchers>Apparently they were considered taboo>First when you'd asked about meat>Now that>You're not sure what kind of impression you were giving ponies>But you doubt it was entirely positive
>>42606640>You glance over, and sure enough, there she is>Princess Luna>Supposedly responsible for moving the moon>The idea of that sort of power still makes you shiver>Your chest tightens>Your brows furrow>Your breath catches>But just as quickly you force yourself to ease>It's probably best if you don't look as scared as you feel>She stands a small distance away from you>On the lip of the top of a crater>Even with her height difference making her bigger than you, now she truly looms over you>You don't speak>Neither does she>Her eyes are narrowed>But it isn't a glare>Not quite>Curiosity>Tinged with frustration>Edged with what you swear is apprehension>But why?>You're the alien wearing the skin of one of her people>If you weren't dreaming, you'd be sweating>Scuff>A silver shoe shifts the gray dust and she glides seamlessly down the slope of the crater's exterior to you>Only briefly do you crane your neck up to meet her gaze>With a flap of your wings, you put yourself at eye level>She seems taken aback by the action>A kernel of knowledge reminds you of its existence in your head>Rainbow Dash, bragging about their defeat of Nightmare Moon>About their defeat of Luna>Trapped on this selfsame celestial rock for a thousand years>Perhaps putting yourself at the eye level of a princess was seen as poor decorum in her time?>Maybe>But that's not going to stop you>She's still not talking>Screw it"Thought you only interfered in nightmares?">Her muzzles scrunches>Less than an inch>For less than an instant>But you catch it>"Interfere..." she scoffs, her eyes darting to the gray dust briefly before locking back onto you>They are a blue so pale it's almost enough to make you feel the icy cold you'd expect from where you are>An involuntary shake removes the chill from your spine>"We guard every dreamscape, from nightmares... and threats" Her words are equal parts careful and blunt>Nothing wasted in waxing philosophical>Simply letting you know entirely where her suspicions lie>But what is the extent of those suspicions?>Were they even suspicions?>She can enter dreams>Can she enter thoughts?>Arguably not, or you wouldn't even be having this conversation>You imagine you'd already be in chains>Sat in some cell buried under a mountain to be questioned>Or was reading thoughts a taboo she wouldn't cross?>Or, rather, wouldn't cross yet?>For now, it seems she at least doesn't have the full picture>Which leaves one question remaining>How dumb do you play this?"What do you want from me?">She regards you with that same look as before>Then, she begins to circle you as you speak>"There is something... different about you, isn't there?">Play dumb"Well... I'm an adrenaline junkie? Then again, Prism's not that different">"Prism?" Her head turns swiftly at the name"Oh- uh- Rainbow Dash, little nickname I have for her, she hates it" You say with a small smile>Luna's interest deflates
>>42606643>But her attention on you does not>"Do not play coy with us, thou knowest of what we speak">You shift in the air to be face to face with her again>Stopping her pacing close enough that you're almost chest to chest>Or, rather, chest to neck"Do I now?">Not playing dumb enough>But her words eat at you>She clearly doesn't know>She wouldn't beat around the bush like this>Would she?>These ponies value honesty>Is that what this is?>Some kind of test?>Are you supposed to confess to get a lesser sentence?>No>She's still so relaxed around you>But would she be that nonplussed by an alien?>You can't get a read on her or the situation>It's nearly maddening>If they know, you're digging yourself a deeper hole>If they don't and you tell, you'll sound insane>And you still don't know how they'd react>Either way, your boldness seems to catch her off for just a moment>But a moment, and nothing more>"We have traded words with Zecora, we believe you’ve met”>That damn zebra>"She too has noticed... something about you. Something different." She puts a hoof forward, and you float backward. "Something, entirely, different. But neither of us know what.">You try to wrangle some kind of response to that>"Yet.">But the finality of that word makes your throat tighten>You push down your rising nervousness by forcing a glare>She doesn't match you>But her head lowers>And you feel far more uneasy>That>Is a big horn>You feel like she could gore that chimera on it if she wanted>Her eyes stay on you>Cold, and focused>Now with a shadow that cuts through the night shrouding her eyes>It's enough to stiffen your wings at your side and send you back to your hooves>You stumble to remain on them>At least you don't tremble>So you can now pretend you still have some dignity left to you>Though it seems to want to give its two weeks notice as she presses closer to you>Her head hanging over yours>Her mane and wings spreading out>Like a cage>"Who. Are you?">Her words aren't demanding, or cruel>She doesn't raise her voice, or tighten her tone>It's not an interrogation, just a question>And you answer before your brain parses the words"Anonymous">"And what, are you, Anonymous?">You hate the way she says your name>She says it with suspicion hidden under a casual calm>As if she's picking apart every syllable>Peeling back every letter for something out of place>You clench your teeth and almost retch out an answer you wouldn't be able to take back"I'm a pegasus" You huff, out of breath from the effort to give her only a technical truth>At this, her eyes do sharpen to a glare>Her horn's at your throat>The spirals illuminate with the same pale blue as her eyes>Then, a pulse>Magic pulses from her horn and crashes into you>Through you>And you buckle>You recognize this feeling>Fire and compression>You vision swims as your pupils dilate>It's not just your pupils though
>>42606649>You can feel your eyes convulse in your skull>They're trying to shrink>Your wings hang limp across your back>You're only aware of their presence because they hang limp over your sides>But your brain can't transmit to them>It's like the nerves in them turned off>Or they don't exist anymore>Then bones beneath your forelegs twist>Where once there was the cartilage and structure of knees, now, there, you feel elbows>You'd forgotten what they'd felt like>Your hooves soften and some part of your that isn't there tries to claw at the dirt beneath you>But instead of five, long tracks in the dust, there's still one flat hoof mark dragged across it>The world's most boring crop circle>Your back legs don't fair much better>There's an extra join between your hooves and legs>You could stand bipedal again if you wanted>And if you weren’t pinned by this contorting pain>Through the pain you drag your face across the dirt to look sideways, up at Luna>You don't know what she's seeing>But it seems she regrets the spell>The one solace you can take>It's only when the spell ends that it crashes into your mind what she tried to do>And then, in a second wave, you realize that she really didn't know what you are>She probably still doesn't>Unless she was looking at you with x-ray vision, she wouldn't have seen your bones change>You were the only one with the privilege of feeling that particular sensation>Speaking of, with a click, they all go back to normal>Then, soft as silk, a cool touch brings you to your hooves>And the dream ripples, like water>From the teardrop that fell from Luna>You can't tell whether she wants to cry or hug you>Probably both>"We-" her voice breaks>Her hoof taps you and she staggers back, unable or unwilling to touch you>"We were sure thou were one of Chrysalis' own. This- this is-">Who?>She takes a breath and steps back from you>"You are not a Changeling">The fuck's a changeling?>"We are sorry, Anonymous">The dream continues to ripple and unfold as she cries>Guess it's time to wake up>The tether that had tied you down to the moon is gone and you and Luna begin to float away from each other>"Rest well. We shall not bother thee again. Though we hope thou might give us a chance to talk again. Perhaps when you respond to our si-">You jolt awake>In your room still>A quick pat down>You're a pony still>Thankfully with none of the pain from the dream>For as much as you'd be justified to hate Luna for that>You get the feeling she's gonna hate herself more for that little stunt>As far as she's aware, she just put one of her subjects under physical duress for nothing>Or was it mental since it all happened in a dream?>Ah, well>You hop out of bed and sleep off the lingering discomfort>Briefly you wonder what she was talking about before you woke up>Respond to what?>Maybe she's gonna send you a fruit basket
>>42606650>As you go about your morning routine, you briefly spin back the dream in your head as you do>Just as you step out the door, the click of the door seems amplified as you remember one particular thought from the dream>You stare down at your hooves and wonder>When the hell did you start seeing this shit as normal?
>>42606656>"Come on, Anon, five more""You said that two "five more"s ago, Dash">Strain>Pain>Effort>Exhaustion>They wrack up and down your spine like a bolt of lightning>It all crackles through your nervous system>Then it's gone as soon as it appears>Leaving you gasping for air>What little you can take in>The air's become so thick>You could chew and spit it out>Not your go to>Usually you prefer your air thin>Instead you're doing wing curls, your forelegs crossed in front of your barrel>You're officially out of your cast>No heavy flying>But most other things are allowed>Encouraged even, by your doctor>Getting them active again will help ensure their strength>Of course, Dash jumped at the opportunity>Quite literally, she did a standing flip in the doctor's office>You told her she didn't need to come>She told you she knew>Then she came anyway>"And you keep giving me five more," Dash teases you, but you swear there's a spark like pride in her eyes, "you can stop giving me five more, when you stop giving me five more">Where did this even come from?>You knew you were good at endurance flying>It wasn't a goal>Just a natural result of the life you'd chosen to live>Unbounded by gravity's leash>It was exhilarating>And you weren't gonna stop if you didn't need to>You just didn't expect it to translate into gym workouts>Sweat coats your... well, coat>Your sides are slick, and your brow is heavy>What little sweat trickles down to your mouth you greedily lap up>Even with Dash helpfully bringing you a spare water bottle you're still thirsty>Probably because you already drained yours>And hers>How many curls have you done?>"Another five! Come on!">That answers your question>It's all just rhythmic motion now>You're zoning out even as your body rises and lowers itself>Another curl>Another creak>You're not sure where the creak is coming from>The metal bar above you>Your wings>Your spine>Who knows>Who cares>There's the ground>It's surprisingly soft despite being hardwood>"Dang, you were one off, you sure you can't manage it?">Your only response is a tired head roll to look at Dash through the corner of your eye>She chuckles and nervously rubs the back of her neck as you gasp to fill your burning throat with air>"Right, take five, I'm gonna get more water" Without another word, she disappears in a prismatic blur>Some part of you tries, struggles, and fails to put you back on your hooves>After, you simply roll over onto your back>The cold wood feels good on your burning wings>"Hit the sauna or take a warm shower" A random voice says beside you"Meh?" Words fail you as your head lazily tilts towards the source>A fiery orange mare looks down at you, a towel around her shoulders>She seems just as sweaty as you, but she's handling it better
>>42606664>"Newbies usually go for a cold shower after getting hot from a workout, but that can cramp up your wings bad. So hit the sauna or a warm shower, once your body temperatures back to normal then you can go cold">You nod absentmindedly, fully aware that the words are going in one ear and out the other>Her face twists in a pitying smile>"Mare, I remember what that felt like" Without a word she trots off>When she's back you're not sure if seconds or minutes has passed>She presses a cold water bottle to your face>The small shock to your system gets some feeling back into your hooves>Without another thought, you pop the cap and chug the water like it'll save your life>By the time your done, you've drunk the bottle so dry that the plastic crumples inward>With a sigh the world swims back into focus>To the side you remember the mare still there>She briefly looks between you and the bottle>You nervously chuckle as you put the lid back on"Sorry about that">The fiery pegasus chuckles and waves you off>"Relax, I've still got half a dozen left">With a slight wobble you manage to stand to your hooves"I thought you said to avoid cold water." You tuck the bottle under your wing. "Why the cold drink?">"No, no, no," she says with a knowing smile as she leads you through the gym, "it's a cold shower specifically, all that hitting your wings, and the nerves and muscles can seize up.""That doesn't sound pleasant." Your wings ruffle beside you, as if in agreement>"It's not. Speaking from experience" She takes a seat at a nearby bench and you join her as she wipes her brow with the towel and drains her own bottle>For a while you and the stranger watch the others in the gym>Not that there are many to begin with>Other than you, Dash, and her, there's maybe three pegasi here>And you're pretty sure one of them works here>The other two meanwhile keep stealing glances at you>You peer down at yourself>Nothing's out of place save for some fur matted with sweat>Then you sniff yourself>Unsurprisingly you need a shower>But that smell isn't exactly uncommon here>So you're not really sure what keeps drawing their attention>What really confuses you is that the new mare glances out of the corner of her eyes at you too>You meet her gaze and she seems a bit surprised at being caught in the act"Is there something on my face?">She seems to relax at your question and even chuckle as you pat your face>Her chuckles then slow to suspicion and a mix of amusement>"You..." She leaves the words unsaid as if figuring out how to form them "You don't know who I am, do you?">Shit>Is this another mare from work you never bothered to learn about?"Ummm, no offense, but, should I?" You offer an uneasy smile, hoping it'll offset any misgivings>The mare's eyes widen as she throws her head back in a laugh>"Oh wow, you really must be new here""I mean, I've only been here for a little over half a year"
>>42606666>It still strikes you when you think of how much time passed you by without you noticing>"Yeah, but, that's here in Ponyville, right? I've heard a little about you, you're that guy who nearly flew into the atmosphere right?">The ridiculous of the statement draws a tired laugh from your still aching chest as you nod"Tried to, yeah">Both your chuckles wear off as she seems to relax>"Still though, where did you live before here? Under a rock?">All this because you don't know who this mare is?>Probably some famous athlete>Do they have Pony Olympics here?"I... don't like talking about it?">You hope that tried and true excuse will hold up>Better to let ponies assume something bad so they don't look into your non-existent past>She gives you the same understanding nod every other pony who's asked has given you>"Hey Anon, sorry for the wait, the taps were broken. Who even keeps water in a vendi-">The water bottles fall from Dash's hooves as she hovers in front of you and the new mare"Hey, Dash" You lean forward to pick one up and offer it to the mare as thanks for earlier>She simply waves it off, a smile on her face and something you can't read in her eyes as she looks up at Dash>She's hovering there with her jaw almost on the floor"Oh, right, sorry." You should introduce them. "Dash, this is..." You indicate a hoof to the fiery mare and your brain runs a blank. "I never did get your name">The mare gives a curt but amused huff. "Spitfire.""Spitfire, Dash. Dash, Spitfire." You indicate between the two as you make a start on the water bottle>You're not dying like before, but your mouth and throat still feel hot and dry>"W- w- we- we've met before... at the-">"Grand Galloping Gala, couldn't do much since we had to talk with all the ritzy noble guests""Oh, you two know each other? I thought I met all your friends already, Dash?" You scratch your head>When she'd finally started pulling you out of your shell, Dash was insistent on having you meet as many ponies as possible>It's like she was worried you were gonna disappear before she could introduce you>But you're pretty sure you've met everyone she's on good terms with in Cloudsdale or Ponyville>Maybe she's from out of town"So, where you from Spitfire?">"Cloudsdale, but I travel a lot">Dash is still barely talking and Spitfire is barely able to talk through her apparent mirth"What do you do for work?">Spitfire's mirth breaks into a full on laughter again as she turns to Rainbow Dash>"He really doesn't know who I am, does he?">Dash's wings finally clip to her side as she moves closer to you, her wing between you and Spitfire, as if it would block her voice as she points a hoof to the mare>"Anon, you dolt, that's Spitfire">You blink at her, and your brow furrows because that name does sound familiar>"THE Spitfire" She urges>You mull the name over in your head and she looks at you like you truly are hopeless then your eyes widen and mouth opens as it strikes you
>>42606671"The Thunderbolt?">Dash's brief joy at your realization shatters as her wing and head droops>"It's 'Wonderbolt', actually." Spitfire corrects as she offers a hoof. "Nice to meet you.">You shake her hoof, though your grip is bit more flimsy from exhaustion"Nice to meet you too. But what are you doing here? I'd have thought that you'd have some super elite exclusive gym with a personal chef">Spitfire continues to chuckle while Rainbow buries her face in a wing and groan>You don't catch the entirety of it, but you're pretty sure Dash said "why are you like this?" at one point>Spitfire nods slowly as she wistfully looks around the gym>"I do, actually. But... I... this is my gym- not MINE mine, of course, but this is where I used to workout before I joined the 'bolts." A nostalgic smile, tinged with sadness tugs at her lips as her eyes trace every corner of the gym, as if seeing a memory in every inch. "Whenever I'm in town, and it's quiet, like now, or at the end of the day, I like to come in and do a session. For old times sake.">You don't know why, but you find a smile of your own curling up your lips>"Now, my turn for a question," she says to you, her smile turning more teasing, "what's with the high flying? It sort of spread like wildfire how high you got, especially since one of the Princesses saved you">Right, Luna>Some part of you wonders if you should bring up your dreams with others>But you don't want them thinking too hard about things you won't have the answers too>So you keep it to yourself"I... just like it, if I'm honest. As for Luna, I dunno, maybe she couldn't sleep that day and decided to visit Ponyville">Spitfire nods along with you, her eyes narrowing curiously at your answer to Luna>But with nothing to refute you, she leaves it be>Dash is practically vibrating next to you, but seems not to know what to say>Right, she idolizes these ponies, doesn't she"But, in all honesty, I wouldn't have gotten that high without Dash here." You try to keep your tone as casual as possible as you elbow her side>Dash jolts at the contact, then realizes what you're doing>Still curious, Spitfire looks between the two of you. "Really?"You nod with a small shrug. "Yeah, I mean, don't get me wrong, she's not as good as me vertically-">Dash snorts. "You wish, dude, you got lucky.""Whatever helps you sleep at night, Dash." You retort, never taking your eyes off Spitfire. "I used to just fly by myself, then me and Dash got into that contest and, well..." You leave the rest unsaid>Spitfire picks up your meaning as she finally starts to regard Rainbow a little>You could tell she saw Rainbow as just a fan>She probably only put up with you because you were so clueless about who she was>Your ignorance must have been a breath of fresh air for the apparent celebrity"She's got me beat in about everything else," you start, "just, not in the only thing that matters." You finish with a smile
>>42606674>"Hey!" Rainbow snaps at you, making you laugh>Clearly having had enough she tackles you off the bench>The two of you briefly go back and forth until you manage to break away with a flap of your wings>You're slightly thrown off by the surge of exhaustive pain that shoots through a wing>That coupled with an awkward attempt to correct so you don't collide with the ceiling or wall leaves you in an awkward landing>One that would have been much more awkward had Dash not caught you>The two of you chuckle briefly as you separate>A new chuckle pulls your attention back to Spitfire>"You two are cute together">You've seen every colour of the rainbow on Dash since you've gotten to know her>But never that much red on her cheeks>You're pretty sure you're only fairing better because of the redness from your exhaustion is covering the redness from Spitfire's words>You will yourself to not let it creep down your neck>"We- we're not-" Rainbow starts"I'm- just the only one who can put up with her-">"More like I'm your only friend dude""My first maybe, but I'll be honest, Pinkie's growing on me, she's got cake">Spitfire's continued chuckles cut off Rainbow's words as she rounds on you>Normally you'd brush it off as her being her usual self>You back and forth>She gets into it and gets miffed when you get under her fetlocks>But some part of you wonders>Did bringing up Pinkie actually bother her?>Why?>You hardly know the pink mare and she knows it>"Well, you two have certainly made this workout more entertaining than most" Spitfire says as she slides off the bench>She does some light stretches, and the tips of your ears gently flick at the sound of each click>"But, I gotta go before this place swarms more than a changeling nest">There's that word again>Changeling>What the hell is that?>They have nests, so are they bugs?>As she begins to leave, she pauses, her head tilting back and forth, as if arguing with herself before turning back to the two of you>"You two... keep up what you're doing, between atmospheric flight," she indicates a wing to you, "and rainbooms," she indicates to Dash, "well... the Wonderbolts do their own research">"You mean-!" You put a hoof across Dash's barrel before she can spring into Spitfire's personal space>Dash quickly corrects and shoots you a mix between an annoyed and thankful look>You're not sure how she can mix two completely different emotions into one look>But she manages it>It's a very uniquely 'Dash' trait>Spitfire rolls her eyes slightly, but the soft smile on her muzzle doesn't fall>"Yes, Dash, I do. Nice meeting you, Anon" She says with a nod as she heads off"Don't keep too close an eye on me," you try to call after but your only answer is a door swinging shut, "god forbid you let me alone" you mutter the final bit>Dash tilts her head, wide-eyed at you>"Dude, seriously!? We might be getting scouted by the Wonderbolts and you say that!?">Now it's your turn to roll your eyes
>>42606678"Look, Dash, it's great that you want to join them, but I'm pretty sure I'd make like a vampire in the sun and burn up under a spotlight">"You only say that cause you've never been under it! It's great!" She exclaims, lightly flapping into the air before landing again"If you say so, Dash." You try to end the topic there, but she seems adamant>"Just you wait, Anon," she jabs you with a wingtip, "when we get letters from the Wonderbolts, you're gonna eat your words""Tell you what Dash, if I get a letter from the Wonderbolts I won't just eat my words, I'll eat the letter, and invite you to watch.">This pulls a small snort into a laugh from Dash>It's cute>You physically hold back the urge to slap yourself as Spitfire's words briefly flit through your mind following that thought>"You've got a deal" She says as she begins heading back towards the door with you"We've just gotta be sure they're not scam letters." You mutter, recalling the weird attempt you got to call you to Canterlot>"Scam letters?" Dash asks"I'll tell you after the shower, Dash">You bump a hoof against her chest, stopping her in place>Snapping to attention she looks around and her pupils shrink as she realizes she almost followed you into the stallion's changing room>"Right! Meet you at Sugarcube Corner.">Before you can get a word out she's gone in her trademark prismatic blur>With a tired shake of your head you head into the room, where a nice, warm shower is calling your namehttps://ponepaste.org/10481
