Isle of She-Beasts
32 – Washing Up For Supper
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe sky and clouds above the island was painted a blazing color of orange and red, by the sun setting over the horizon of the sea.
Up in the trees, a troop of devil monkeys screeched and hollered after they had returned from a successful raid.
The vicious primates were dividing up the spoils of their loot, tearing up the meats of their latest kills, and biting at one another.
Suddenly, the leaves of a nearby tree ruffled, alerting the monkeys the presence of an intruder.
The monkeys ceased what they were doing, watching and growling to see who would dare trespass on their domain.
The leaves ruffled, until finally, a face was revealed.
A rather cowardly monkey-man with blond hair had emerged. The monkey-man hooted, in a rather desperate tone, as if pleading for his life.
There was a moment of silence, until the devil monkeys laughed in response. Again, the monkey-man pleaded.
The devil monkeys grew impatient, so they all snapped their jaws, threatening the monkey-man if he refuses to leave.
Suddenly, there was a crack of whip in the air, silencing all of the monkeys. They turned their heads, in the direction of a large misshapen creature emerging from the shadows of the trees.
The creature appeared to be a cross between a baboon and a gorilla with snow white fur and tiger-like stripes behind it's back that goes all the down to its monkey tail, with icy blue eyes that pierced through the darkness. It wore a skull of an animal with large antlers, like a helmet to cover its face. Across its chest, almost like badges of war, the creature wore a collection of heads from several other Beast-Men, humans, even She-Beasts it had killed.
Wrapped around its left shoulder, it carried a long whip, made of spines, ending in a large sharp blade.
The devil monkeys all bowed their heads in submission to the beast, who walks across its branch, until it was looking directly into the cowardly monkey-man’s eyes.
“Wow!” Spike exclaimed, seeing the pile of meat stacked up in the Mess Hall. “You girls have been doing a lot of hunting!”
“Sure have,” Applejack nodded with her stomach growling. “Oh wow, I’m so hungry, I could eat a…a whole elephant!”
“Yeah? Well this giant crab’s claw is better suited for someone like Rarity,” Rainbow squawked, much to Rarity’s annoyance.
“I could go for a whole mountain of chocolate right about now,” Pinkie Pie moaned, before she felt her tummy rumbling. “Ooh, my tummy thinks so too.”
“Don’t you dare Dutch Oven us, Pinkie,” Sunset scowled at the pink Monkey-Woman.
“Anywho, let’s eat!” Starlight Glimmer shouted.
With that, all the carnivorous She-Beasts spring into action, pouncing on the meats, biting, clawing, and tearing away at the flesh, much to the disgust of their herbivorous friends, and Spike.
“Girls, girls, please!” Twilight shouted. “STOP!!”
The hungry She-Beasts immediately ceased their antics and everyone all turned to look at the disappointing look on Twilight’s face.
“Honestly, where are your manners?” Twilight shook her head. “I know we’re She-Beasts and all, but that no excuse to act like animals! Besides, dinner isn’t even ready yet. We have to wash ourselves first.”
The rest of the girls all exchanged agreements. All except for Loona.
“Hmph!” Loona muttered. “I knew there’s a catch to this…”
“I’m sorry darlings,” Rarity apologized. “I just don’t know what’s come over me.”
“That’s okay, Rarity,” Sunset replied. “No one blames you…”
“I’m afraid we’re all getting stirred crazy than usual on the island!” Applejack sighed. “We’re becoming more beasts than women by the seconds.”
“Still, Twilight is right,” Fluttershy said. “We have to remember our manners! We shouldn’t eat before we wash! Are we not women?”
“Uh, Fluttershy?” Rainbow Dash called, guiding the blind Woman-Bat. “We’re over here.”
“Oh! Sorry…” Fluttershy corrected her direction. “Let’s all wash up before dinner!”
The She-Beasts all got up and were heading towards the nearby river to clean themselves up.
Sunset Shimmer turned to the Reverse-Hybrids, and beckoned them to come along, “That means you girls.”
“Us?!” Loona barked in irritation. “Why? We’re not humans.”
“But y’all still need to clean up before supper,” Applejack reasoned. “Don’t want to eat while smelling something worse than what we eat, now do ya?”
Knowing that it's pointless to argue with the She-Beasts and their logics, the Reverse-Hybrids reluctantly followed along, with Loona being the last one to follow.
While the girls were getting washed, Spike was left to his lonesome in the mess hut, preparing dinner for everyone. He had a variety of fruits and vegetables in separate bowls.
One of which, to his surprise, was huckleberry which were grown in the north western part of the US, most notably his home state.
He didn’t know whether they originally grew here or Dr. Grogar brought them to the island but he was actually glad because he remembered the recipe for his grandma’s homemade huckleberry pie.
He looked over to one part of the large counter and saw a few various deceased beastmen which made his expression turn to a solemn one.
It was bad enough knowing that the Beastmen on the island have all lost their identity to become savage feral beasts, forcing the She–Beasts – including his girlfriends – to kill them for self-defense, to hunt and survive, but most of all, as some act of mercy. But the thought of butchering some of these Beastmen corpses, preparing them for the She-Beasts' dinner was making Spike feeling rather sick and squeamish.
Up until now, all the meat he has eaten have been fishes, crabs, and some of the wild pigs that Sunset Shimmer, Starlight Glimmer, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack have hunted. But now, the predator She-Beasts have started craving for bigger meats. And the dead Beastmen have appeared on the menu.
"Ugh..." Spike groaned to himself, feeling rather sick to his stomach, and resisting the urge to throw up.
'I just don't feel hungry anymore...' Spike thought to himself. 'This is probably what a slaughterhouse looks like. I wonder if any crew members from The Essex that Moby Dick destroyed ever felt like this?'
Spike was trying his best not to think of the Beastmen as the humans they were before. But the more he thinks about it, the more his conscience conflicted his squeamish judgement. The thought of being a cannibal was sickening.
Spike struggled to shake his head to clear out the unpleasant thoughts of cannibalism.
"They're not humans anymore, they're not humans anymore," Spike said to himself, raising a knife to gut a dead boar-man. "They're not humans anymore, they're not humans...any...more..."
Spike stopped himself from plunging the knife's blade into the boar-man's skin when another epiphany had occurred. Neither were the She-Beasts. They're not humans. Although, the girls still retain their intelligence and their sentience, it doesn't change the fact that they're now She-Beasts. And day by day, it looks as if they're becoming more animalistic than humans.
Spike remembered a warning from Twilight and Sunset that eventually, the She-Beasts will completely lose their identity and become just as feral as Fleur-de-Lis. And what will Spike do when that happens? Will they all be fully feral She-Beasts and turn on him and kill him before they become mindless humans with no identity?
And what if Dr. Grogar finds Spike first and turns him into a Man-Beast? Will the girls kill him too?
Spike looked into the eyes of a dead Crocodile-Man, staring endlessly up into space. But Spike's reflection was staring back at him. It was almost like seeing his own dead body on the counter being prepared for dinner.
“Now this is Hell’s Kitchen for me…” Spike moaned to himself.
Nevertheless, the young man knew he has to make something for the girls’ dinner tonight. Worst case scenario, they might get really hungry enough to eat him.
A loud growl was heard from Spike’s stomach, and he groaned in agony, feeling the pit in his stomach.
“Oh well…hakuna matata,” Spike groaned, picking up a large butcher knife, trying not to think too much on the meat he was cooking.
“Hmph! Humans…” Loona grumbled at the notion of having to wash before eating.
“C’mon girls,” Twilight beckoned the girls to the river. “C’mon.”
After they had disrobed themselves of their clothes, Twilight and the girls were gathering a the riverbanks.
“P.U!” Fluttershy cringed. “We smelled stinky!”
“Just because we’re animals darling, doesn’t mean we have to smell like one,” Rarity stated her reasoning, before she remembers the Reverse-Hybrids present. “Oh! No offense, darlings.”
“Purple calamari fry,” Merida said in her gibberish talk.
Ignoring Merida’s alien talk, the girls turn their attentions to the river.
“Is it safe?” Fluttershy asked fearfully.
“Sure it’s safe, Fluttershy,” Sunset Shimmer assured. “I’ve skinny dipped in this river lots of times before. It’s safe.”
Pinkie Pie stuck a finger in the water and played with the ripples.
“Eeh eeh, it’s wet!” Pinkie hooted.
Leggy Lamb curiously inspected the water with a finger.
“BAA BAA BAA AAA AAA AAAAAAA!” Leggy bleated, shivering from the cold. “Cold!”
“Do we must wash?” Bea asked.
“Of course, darling,” Rarity replied.
“If it pleases Spike,” Fluttershy squeaked.
“I’ll take the chance for him!” Rainbow Dash smiled.
“Me too!” The other girls agreed.
“Ha! You girls are a bunch of saps!” Loona huffed. “Taking orders from that human male. But I’m warning ya! You give it an inch, then he’ll walk ALL over ya!”
“Don’t listen to that xenophobic bit…dog!” Twilight huffed, before she turned to the girls. “Come on, now girls!”
“How hard do you scrub?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“Will our wools shrink?” Leggy asked.
“Do you get in the water?” Bea asked.
“Do we have to wash where it doesn't show?” Pinkie asked.
“Now, now, don't get excited,” Twilight consoled. “Here we go.”
With that, Twilight lead the girls on how they can wash themselves clean for supper.
Bluddle-Uddle-Um-Dum
All She-Beasts, including the feral Fleur, and Reverse-Hybrids, except for Loona, each picked up a bar of soap to wash their hands with lather.
Then, they scrubbed the soaps and lathers all over their faces, before they scooped up a handful of water, washed their faces, and went: “Brrr, brrr, brrr!”
Then, they repeat the process, washing their faces, and making loud babbling noises while cleaning themselves up.
“Bunch of old nanny goats, ya make me sick goin’ brrr, brrr, brrr!” Loona mocked.
At one point, Pinkie Pie got mischievous and splashed water on Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle. The two She-Beasts looked up at the pink monkey-woman, seeing her whistling not so innocently. Sunset and Twilight both looked to each other and exchanged devious grins in agreement.
"Get her!" With that, the two She-Beasts chased after Pinkie Pie who quickly made a run for the trees.
Pinkie Pie climbed up the trees, before she swung down from the branches to pull Twilight's ear and Sunset's tail, before she swings back up into the tree branches. Then, Pinkie Pie swung down again, and pulled accidentally pulled on one of Marina's tentacles. Eventually, all of the She-Beasts got involved as they chased Pinkie Pie along the river and trees, until they all ended up in the water, splashing about.
Meanwhile, Loona continued to watch the scene unfold, remaining ever so stubborn to not take a bath, “Hmph, next thing you know, that human decides to tie you up with pretty ribbons and spray you with that smelly stuff called...perfume. Ha!"
Eventually, after all of the roughhousing and splashing, the She-Beasts had gotten back on dry land to dry themselves up. Sunset Shimmer was shaking herself vigorously, causing all of her fur and hair to puff out.
"Ha ha ha ha!" Rainbow Dash laughed, pointing at Sunset, before she got doused by another splash of water from Applejack.
Pinkie Pie was smacking her head, due to some waters flooding her ears. She shook her head, but to no avail. Finally, Pinkie stuck a finger in her mouth and blew on it, which did the track as waters came shooting out of her ears, and bubbles.
Nearby, Leggy was drying up Kirin, when she was picked up by Fluttershy. The blind Woman-Bat had mistook the anthropomorphic sheep's wool for a towel and was using her to dry her face, much to Leggy's embarrassment. As an added insult to injury, Rarity had blindly motorboat in Leggy's chest to dry her face.
"A fine bunch of water lilies you turned out to be," Loona mocked, which didn't go unheard. "I'd like to see if any of you would make me wash. Even if I didn't wanna."
"Hmph!" Applejack huffed, giving Loona a death glare. "Ahem."
The orange wolf-woman called the rest of the girls over in a huddle, where she began to whisper her plan. The girls all exchanged giggles as they got started.
Applejack was the first to lead the party, whistling, with the others following, though Marina and Leggy seemed to be having trouble whistling along. The girls all surrounded Loona, who didn't realize what they were up to, until it was too late.
"GET HER!" Applejack barked, and the girls all pounced on the wolf-dog.
There was a cloudy struggle and blur of arms and legs, until the girls emerged, with a struggling Loona held in place. Her arms and legs were locked in place by Sunset Shimmer, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, and Beatrice.
“C’mon y’all!” Applejack barked. “Get her over to the river! Get her to the river!”
“Let me go you fuckers! Let me go!” Loona barked angrily, but to no avail.
“Get her to the river, y’all!” Applejack barked.
Eventually, the girls soon brought Loona to the river, where they begin to wash her.
Meanwhile, Spike had overcome his squeamish conscience, for the time being as he cooks and prepares the girls’ dinner.
After he had trimmed off the skin of a boar-man, Spike started cutting the meat into thin slices.
‘Just think of it as an ordinary pork,’ Spike repeated to himself mentally. ‘Just think of it as an ordinary pork. Just think of it as an ordinary pork… Ugh! Gross…’
Eventually, Spike had cut up a pile of uneven, but thin slices of meat, with which he then marinated in a bowl of ginger sauce that was in the village’s food hut.
“Okay…now that that’s over, I’ll just work on the cabbage,” Spike sighed, as he takes a large green cabbage and shreds it. “Like my friend, Mukoda, once said: can’t have ginger-friend pork without cabbage.”
Spike tasted some of the cabbage leaves for himself, smiling in satisfaction.
“Mmmm-mmmm!” He said to himself. “That’s good cabbage! Applejack’s definitely a farmer!”
Next, Spike heats up a frying pan with a bit of vegetable oil from the Food Hut. Then, he takes the marinated meats to fry them up in the frying pan. While he was cooking them, Spike took a whiff of the air, taking in the aroma of the meat.
“Wow!” Spike smiled. “This does smell good! I could almost eat it, right here, right now…if it wasn’t cooking…and…from a beastman’s…meat…”
Poor Spike was still struggling to cope with the reality that he and his girls will be eating the meat of a Beast-Man.
Meanwhile, the She-Beasts and Reverse-Hybrids tried to take her dress off, but Loona retaliated with a snap of her jaws and angry barks.
Loona tried to break free, but finds herself restrained by Marina’s tentacles that wrapped around her mouth, arms, and legs. Loona’s cheeks burned at the bizarre sensation of the tentacles wrapping her, turning her on.
Loona closed her eyes with her face burning as they pull the top of the bodice down, followed by the skirt.
There, she stood au natural in front of the girls.
“NOOOOOOOO!!!!” Loona wailed, her voice breaking into pitches, struggling to cover her naked human body. “Don’t look! Don’t loooooOOOOOOOKKKKK! My body is hideous!!!”
“Aw, nonsense darling,” Rarity exclaimed. “You have such a wonderful body!”
“Don’t lie,” Loona shivered. “It’s not my body. It’s not even as…big, or…curvy as…Sunset’s…”
“Yeah, okay,” Sunset blushed, while frowning in embarrassment. “I get that a lot. But honestly, big boobs are highly overrated and are kind of a curse. And if anything, I’d give to have a body like yours Loona.”
“But…it’s not mine,” Loona shivered from the cold. “Not anymore. This isn’t how dogs are supposed to look…”
“Well, this isn’t how humans are supposed to look either,” Applejack replied. “But we’re like this, because of Dr. Grogar. And there’s nothing we can do about it. All we can do is just accept what has happened and move on.”
Before the girls could give Loona another chance to speak, they proceeded to wash her before she can escape, or to shield her modesty, the girls quickly went to work, washing her, as they held onto her arms and legs to prevent her from escaping.
They poured water onto Loona, before Rainbow Dash scrubbed her head, followed by Pinkie Pie brushing her teeth.
“Now scrub good and hard,” Applejack sang, as she and the girls all scrubbed Loona, to the point she’s covered in suds. “It can't be denied that she'll look mighty cute as soon as she's dried!”
Soon, the She-Beasts all sang along, “But it's good for the soul and it's good for the hide to go…”
“Brrr, brrr, brrr!” Loona grunted when the girls picked her up and dunked her in the water repeatedly.
Meanwhile, Spike had finished a batch of meat to serve to his carnivorous She-Beasts and Reverse-Hybrids friends.
By then, Spike felt more unclean than usual, which was brought on when he stared at the soulless head of Dr. Grogar’s boar-man’s face.
“Get the fuck OUTTA HERE!” Spike yelled, kicking the head out of sight, as he shudders and brushes himself silly in a Willy frenzy.
“Ugh! First chance I’m off this island, I’m booking a month-long therapy session with Dr. Wolf!” Spike hyperventilated before he managed to compose himself.
“Where was I? Oh yeah! Grandma’s huckleberry pie!” Spike said as he starts baking the pie to take his mind off.
‘Let’s see, we got huckleberries,’ Spike analyzed mentally. ‘And how nice of Dr. Grogar to supply us with sugars, flours, and then some… I wonder if his faith was either misplaced, or he actually believed the Reverse-Hybrids would learn to experiment cooking…Speaking of which, I wonder how the girls are doing? Dinner’s just about ready…’
Thankfully, for Loona, it was all over, when the girls proceeded to dry her up with a towel, while wrapping a towel around her upper body. But as an added insult to injury, Rarity had started tying pretty pink ribbons to her hair.
“Ain’t she sweet?” Rarity giggled, before Rainbow Dash took a whiff.
“Hmmm! That’s no wet dog,” Rainbow chuckled. “Smells like a petunia!”
Fluttershy also took a turn to sniff Loona.
“Oh my! She does!” Fluttershy agreed. “I could just snuggle her up, like I did with Angel Bunny!”
“She’s a cutie pie!” Pinkie Pie added, when she puts a flower crown on Loona’s head, earning more laughs from the girls.
“I am going to hurt you ALL for this!” Loona barked angrily.
“SUPPER!!!” Spike called out, with the sound of pots clanging in the distance.
The She-Beasts and Reverse-Hybrids all turned to each other.
“Supper y’all!” Applejack exclaimed.
“FOOD! HOORAY!!!” The girls, except Loona, howled excitedly, dropping Loona back into the water, with some reclaiming their clothes, and making a mad dash back to the village.
“Brrr, brrr, brrr!” Loona resurfaced from the water, with an indignant huff. “Hmph!”
