Chapter 1

Nearing the main balcony of Twilight’s castle, Rainbow groaned as a bit of oncoming wind pushed her floof up against her neck, slightly changing her approach. She smoothed it down with a hoof, then landed just mere feet from the small door that led inside her friend’s bedroom. She had spent the past week locked inside of her house due to her little floofy problem that affected her ease of motion while flying, and she felt that she had spent enough time bumming about. She had to find a solution, and soon, for it was getting worse and worse each day.

Rainbow peered into Twilight’s bedroom, cupping her front hooves around the glass to help spot her friend. “Ah, there she is!” She tapped on the glass, making Twilight look up from her book. “Can I come in?” she asked, a light breeze sending a shiver down her back. “Kinda cold out here,” she said with a sheepish grin.

“Of course!” Twilight pushed herself off the bed and unlocked the door with a quick spell. She stood aside and gestured for her to come in. “Where have you been? You missed Pinkie’s little get-together a few days ago.” Noticing something odd in her peripheral vision, she glanced down at Rainbow’s breast, her eyes lighting up with glee. “Oh my gosh! How’d you get that much floof?” she asked, taking a couple steps towards her to get a better look.

“Uh... I think it’s that body wash I got a few weeks back. I, um... just might have misread a word or two on the label,” she said, rubbing her foreleg with a hoof. Rainbow sat down, placing her forelegs between her hind legs like usual, only to have her floof become even floofier. With a shake of her head, she asked, “Twilight, how can I get this... extra fur to go away?” She huffed as she tried to smooth it down. “It’s never been this bad before; it’s making it harder to fly!”

“Hm... Hold on a second here...” Twilight leaned in close and poked Rainbow’s floof with a hoof a few times, admiring its softness and density. “So you tried a new body wash, and then this happened? None of the other fur on your body became like this?” she asked, hefting its weight in her hoof. Twilight glanced down, looking at the pitiful amount of floof on her own breast, wishing that she had at least half as much floof as Rainbow.

“Yeah. I’ve been working on this new trick lately, but most of the time I end up crashing. The fur up here...” She paused as she drew a circle around her floof. “Is always the dirtiest. My old body wash would only get most of the dirt out of my coat, so I bought some more powerful stuff.”

“And I take it that you used a ton of the new body wash right on your breast? To clean all the dirt from that area?”

“Uh... yeah? So?” Rainbow’s breath caught in her throat as her nostrils flared for a split-second. “Wait, do you think my body started growing extra fur there because my breast is always taking the brunt of my impacts? You know, as a bit of cushion or something?”

Twilight covered her mouth with a hoof as she fought to keep herself from giggling, shaking her head from side to side. “It’s a light green bottle with an orange cap on it, right?” she asked, knowing exactly what Rainbow was speaking of.

“Yeah, how’d you know that?” Rainbow cocked her head to the side as her eyes narrowed.

“Because I have the same bottle,” Twilight admitted with a giggle. “It’s meant to make your winter coat thicker to help keep you warm, Dash. It’s not a normal body wash.”

“...Oh.” Rainbow flicked her mane out of her eyes and wilted in place as a stark realization finally dawned on her. “O-Oh...” Think before you speak next time, you featherbrain... She cleared her throat, then asked, “I have a lot of floof because I used a lot of the new body wash there, right?”

Twilight nodded as her tail swished around behind her. “Mhm.” She dropped her hoof and glanced at the bed. “You know, us mares usually buy that bottle for a very special reason,” she said, her ears flicking back as she idly drew random shapes into the carpet with the tip of her hoof.

Rainbow sighed. “What do you mean?”

“I’m actually surprised that you aren’t aware of this, but...” Twilight’s mouth went dry. She glanced over her shoulder to make sure her door was shut tight, but still lowered her voice all the same. “Mares usually buy it to help, um... attract mates,” she squeaked out.

Rainbow’s eyes went wide. “You’re joking, right?” Twilight shook her head. “How could this attract anypony?” she asked, once more gesturing at the excessive amount of floof on her breast.

Because it’s working on me... Twilight thought, her eyes locked on Rainbow’s floof. “Um...” She fluffed her wings as she bit her bottom lip. “Well, I would love to see what it’s like to sleep on it... it’s really soft, almost like a pillow.” She flicked her gaze up to meet Rainbow’s. “Do you really think it’s such a horrible thing? Some mares would do anything to have floof of that magnitude.” I know I would... She licked her dry lips, wondering if she should take a chance.

“Really? Why?”

“Because it helps keep your warm, it pulls attention towards you, and above all, it makes you look really cute,” Twilight said, speaking before her mind could catch up. Her eyes went wide as she let loose a small ‘eep’, her front hooves whipping up to her lips. Her breaths came in short, quick bursts as time slowed down.

Rainbow’s ears flopped down as she felt her throat grew tight. As her tail swished around behind her, she took a tentative step towards Twilight and asked, “D-Did you just say that I’m cute?”

Twilight nodded slowly, praying that what she’d just uttered wouldn’t nip her on the flank.

“You think this floof makes me look cute?” Rainbow asked as she rubbed the back of her neck. Twilight nodded again. “If I say we can snuggle tonight, would you help me find a way to get rid of this floof tomorrow?”

Twilight squeed. “S-Sure I can! I have scissors downstairs that we could use, but first...” She draped a wing over Rainbow’s back and guided her towards the bed, a soft, warm smile on her face. Rainbow hopped on the bed before she could even so much as place a hoof on it, making her smile deepen. “Thanks for this, Rainbow,” she said, glad that her friend was going into this with an open mind.

“No problem, thanks for offering to help me. I knew you would be able to help.” Rainbow flopped down on Twilight’s bed and placed her right front hoof over her left. “I, uh... I’ve never snuggled with anyone before,” she said, blushing a little bit. Gotta remember to buy some scissors...

“Well, there’s a first time for everything!” Twilight said as she settled down next to Rainbow. “I’ve only snuggled with my pillow before, so I know a thing or two about this.” She scooted over until her wings grazed against Rainbow’s, laid her head down on her friend’s forelegs, then insistently nuzzled Rainbow’s floof. Its warmth seeped into her cheek, eliciting a soft sigh of content from her lips. She felt Rainbow shift about, then felt an all-encompassing warmth surround her back and wings as her friend’s ultra-soft feathers wrapped around her side.

“I know a thing or two about snuggling, too,” Rainbow said with a chuckle. “While this might be awesome and whatnot for you, I have nowhere to lay my head. Lemme just...” She rolled over onto her side, then let Twilight snuggle back in, unable to keep herself from grinning at Twilight’s enthusiasm. “You really like to snuggle, huh?” she asked.

“Oh yeah, second only to books,” Twilight said with a giggle, though it was cut short by a yawn forcing itself past her lips. Rainbow’s floof was firmly pressed up against the back of her head, which she promptly nuzzled again. “Why does your floof have to be so soft and floofy?” she asked breathlessly.

“I dunno...” Rainbow said as Twilight used her magic to snuff out the candles on her nightstand, plunging the room into near darkness, save for the moonlight streaming in through the windows. “You really think it’s nice?”

“I think it’s wonderful, Dashie,” Twilight whispered, letting her eyelids drift shut. “And come tomorrow, you might just find that having floof is pretty awesome...”

Bonus Chapter: The Floof Thickens

With the sun shining in through her windows, Twilight woke up with a short yawn. Rainbow’s floof was still nestled up against her cheek, and she could have sworn that it had gotten softer and floofier during the night. Rainbow softly snored away, twitching in her sleep. The tips of her wings trembled as a small grin grew on her lips.

A silly idea popped into Twilight’s mind. While she loved snuggling with Rainbow and nuzzling her floof like it was the best thing in all of Equestria, she pushed herself up and out of Rainbow’s embrace, taking care to not wake her up. After shooting a wistful glance at Rainbow’s floof one last time, she sighed and crept into her bathroom, shutting the door as quietly as she could. She used a quick spell to dampen the noise that she would make so that her plan could come to a perfect fruition, then turned on the shower.

She couldn’t help but let a silly grin slide on her face as she stepped underneath the shower head. Picking up the special bottle of body wash, she sat down and squirted half the bottle onto the pitiful amount of floof she had, then vigorously rubbed it in. She held the bottle up with a spell, her eyes darting across the back until she found the directions. “For best results, let the body wash soak in after a good lather, then wash it off within two minutes,” she read out loud. “Repeat twice a day for a week to achieve proper fur floof.”

Twilight rolled her eyes as she moved out from under the warm stream of water. “So that’s why Rainbow has more floof than me... I’ve just been washing it off after a minute!” she said with glee. “But I don’t have a week, I have a few minutes. Hm... Aha!” Tossing the bottle aside, she rubbed the body wash onto her breast until her limbs grew weary, then lit her horn, amplifying the effects of the body wash.

Her horn grew hot from effort, sweat dripped down in between her eyes, and after a couple minutes of holding the spell, she finally released it, panting softly. She moved back under the stream of water and washed away the body wash, helping the process along by wiping it away with a hoof. Oh... my... gosh... she thought as her breath caught in her throat. She didn’t even have to look down to know that she had achieved her most base desires; her floof felt bigger than Rainbow’s by a long shot.

As the suds slipped from her breast, she glanced down, her eyes going wide. What once held a pitiful, embarrassing amount of floof now held floof at least twice as floofier as Rainbow’s. “If she doesn’t love this, she’s crazy,” she said with a giggle. She turned off the shower, used her magic to dry herself off, then she pulled open the bathroom door as slowly as she could, wincing at every little squeak the hinges made.

Twilight crept back over to the bed and gingerly climbed back in, using her magic to pull the curtains shut a little bit so that they could resume snuggling and sleeping if Rainbow desired to do so. Unable to keep a silly grin off of her face, she nuzzled Rainbow’s floof with her cheek, loving each and every single second of it. Rainbow stirred awake with a soft groan. “Hey Dash...” Twilight giggled, her tail swishing about on the sheets as she slipped back under the covers. “Notice something different about me?” she asked, her rump wiggling about in excitement as she pushed her breast outwards, using her upper forelegs to make it seem floofier than it was.

Rainbow lifted her head, blearily blinking a few times. She rubbed her eyes as she looked up at Twilight, then when she saw Twilight look down and point at her breast, her eyes went wide. “Woah... you have a lot more floof than I remember,” she said, her voice sounding rather hoarse.

“Yep! I used more of the body wash and used a simple spell to make my floof just like yours!” Twilight said, her voice full of mirth. She nuzzled Rainbow’s floof again, then lay down on her side, staring right into Rainbow’s eyes. “So... remember how you said you wanted me to help you solve your little floof problem?” Rainbow nodded as she laid her head back on the pillow. Twilight opened her wing and laid it across Rainbow’s back, applying a little bit of pressure as a sign for her to scoot closer to her. “If you wanna nuzzle my floof, you can see just how soft, warm, and awesome floof can be,” she said, feeling her cheeks heat up as she blushed.

“Uh...” Rainbow was simply mesmerized by the sheer amount of floof on Twilight’s breast. It puffed out rather distinctly from her breast, looking like she had glued a pillow onto her fur.

“Rainbow, my eyes are up here,” Twilight said with a sly smirk.

After a few seconds of silence, Rainbow shook her head and blinked a couple of times, then looked back up into Twilight’s eyes. “Huh? Sorry, I wasn’t listening.”

Twilight rolled her eyes. “Yeah, obviously. Wanna try snuggling with me and my floof?” she asked, applying a little bit more pressure to Rainbow’s back.

“Oh, um... yeah, sure,” she said. She licked her lips, then pushed herself near Twilight’s breast, her eyes never leaving the sheer amount of floofy floof. She poked it with a hoof, much like Twilight had done with her own floof just last night. “It’s... wow. You’re right, your floof is really soft!” she said, her voice holding no small amount of amazement.

“It’s even softer if you nuzzle it,” Twilight said with a chuckle.

“Really?” Rainbow leaned in and firmly pressed her cheek against it, feeling its softness and warmth caress her fur. Her eyes slid shut as she hummed softly in content, her nuzzles becoming longer, deeper, and more insistent. “You weren’t lying when you said having floof is awesome, were you?” she asked with a grin, her ears flopping back to lay flat on her head.

“Nope. I wouldn’t lie to you, Rainbow,” Twilight said, using her magic to pull the sheets back up to their shoulders. She draped her right hind leg over Rainbow’s flank and flicked her tail on top of hers. “So... what do you think? Wanna sleep in for a bit and see what you think about keeping your floof when we wake up?”

Rainbow snuggled deeper into her embrace, finding a comfortable position to sleep in. She felt Twilight’s wing wrap around her back a little more, then when Twilight wrapped a hoof around her back, she let her forelegs curl up to her chest. “If I say I’ll keep my floof for a little bit longer, would you, uh...” Her mouth felt incredibly dry. “Would you want to snuggle more this week? That was the best night of sleep I’ve gotten in months.”

“I’d love that, Dash.” Twilight yawned as she used her magic to shut the curtains the rest of the way. “I’d love that a lot...”
