“It’s… Oh for Celestia’s… MY sake, I’ll wear the damn thing!” Celestia grabbed the white robe, roughly pulling it down over her bare figure with no degree of consideration for the fabric itself.
Twilight could only cringe at the sight of a pale skinned version of her mentor act in such a way. Carrying a filly version in her right hoof didn’t help matters at all. She could only watch as the tall Celestia finally got her attire on, looking into the provided mirror at her rugged appearance. The very long locks of hair didn’t look so good when mangled up like that.
“Princess… Celestia… is there something I can call you that doesn’t make your eyes catch fire?” Under the glare, she felt very small. “I know it’s been a really traumatic few days. It wasn’t exactly pleasant when she suddenly shrank down around me y’know…”
There was a very loud growl as Celestia threw a pillow across the room angrily. The severe lack of any satisfying thud made the outburst less imposing. “More traumatic than giving birth to myself while being born by myself? I didn’t crawl into an open uterus willing, and I certainly didn’t ask for any of this!” Her pale fingers clutched another pillow tightly, her eyes finally settling down on the sleeping filly.
In the silence that followed, she paced around the room several times. Light from the fire danced around the dark purple cushions with gold trimming, the heat warming the carpet that made barely a sound as each pale foot landed. The curtains were tightly drawn, specifically to stop sunlight from waking the infant Celestia up and making the sun go in wild directions.
At last, Celestia sat down on one of the cushions to take her foal back. The robe was designed in such a way to make exposing either breast a simple matter, which she did to begin feeding. “I’m sorry for taking out my frustrations on you. But she hasn’t once come by to see how the other versions of herself are doing, and I refuse to go over there as a result.”
There was a moment where the only sound came from her heavy breast, specifically the small mouth planted firmly on it. “I really don’t think I can stand spending another day here. I hate myself after only a short amount of time, I don’t see how I, or myself will be able to handle years.” Her hand clutched the frail body resting against her chest.
A page turned. Twilight was idly staring at the pages below her. “I don’t know what to say. She’s been my mentor for most of my life. It’s hard to see a different version of her, especially one that hates her. Or something.” Her face landed in the book with an audible thud. Some low mumbling came from her for a while longer, her horn sparking on and off at times.
Celestia continued to watch her. Her lips tightened, the inner parts of her mind pondering on her options. Running away could work, except everypony and living being in Equestria would recognize her. Anywhere she wouldn’t be recognized, she knew nothing about. And she certainly wasn’t going to stop by Queen Chrysalis’ place in search of a bed for the night…
“Fine. You can come stay with me and Trixie and Sunset, and the girls, and Spike, and Fluttershy…” Twilight’s face went blank, matching Celestia’s expression. “What? Would you prefer living in the same place as the pony version of yourself, or with three mares, three fillies, a dragon and another mare who’s doing a special favour for us?”
There was a soft sound of fabric rubbing on skin as the tall human fixed her robe up again, the small filly sleeping silently in her embrace. “I’ll give it a week. Otherwise, I think I’ll just have to start searching for a home of my own out in the forests. And some hair dye.”
*
“Aunty!” A trio of tiny voices nearly knocked Celestia over at the very moment she stooped into the doorway of Twilight’s library. The resulting sound her head made as it hit the wood conveniently distracted her from swearing. That, and the faces of three unicorns staring up at her with wide eyes managed to make her feel a little less murderous. “Mommy! Aunty Celly bumped her head! And now she’s making weird faces.”
They were gone before she could make more ‘faces’. It took a moment for her to recall that Twilight was right behind her, with Celestia the Third sleeping away in her saddle carrier. It took another moment for her to step through and stand up. The highest point of the door sat uncomfortably close to the height of her breasts. “At least there’s one use of doors built excessively high.”
Twilight rolled her eyes while the weight on her left side was lifted away. “You know, it’s already pretty crowded here with three mares and three fillies, all of which have a lot of magical enthusiasm to boot. You could at least try to be grateful.” She pulled the carrier off her back and returned it to a nearby hanger. The sight of Dawn, Glimmer and Stardust running up the stairs brought back memories of when she carried them around in that same carrier.
Celestia looked around with contempt. “I could always go live somewhere else then. Give me a week to get used to magic, and I’ll just make a house out of sight and mind.” After a moment, she realized there weren’t any chairs or cushions. With a sigh, she snapped her fingers to conjure up a purple satin cushion for herself. “On the other hand, you could just give me a magical infusion and I’ll be out by the end of the day. I’ll be taking Celestia the Third with me.”
There was a period of silence as Twilight blinked. “Infuse? How the hay am I supposed to do that? I can’t just give you a portion of my magic and call it a day, it doesn’t work like that!” She glanced back over her shoulder as Trixie wandered down, looking a bit concerned. “I know that things are really hard right now. Everypony just needs time to sort things out on their own.”
Sunset joined Trixie on the stairs, softly leaning against her. “You should’ve seen it a few months ago. Three mares with huge bulges and varying degrees of frustration and hunger. Trix went through a whole cart of food in three days.”
“And you went through half of the apple orchard before Applejack even noticed. It certainly wasn’t my fault.” Trixie proceeded down the stairs to Twilight’s side, resting her hoof around the base of her neck. “Twilight is correct in any case. I wasn’t there, but I’m certain that things could have gone a lot worse than they did.”
Celestia looked between the two of them, then at Sunset as she came to Twilight’s other side. “I think I would take not being born over being stuck in a human body, while another me is walking around with a normal pony body.” She buried her face in her hands, almost ready to cry. Instead, she tried to focus on something else. “Have you found anything out about that orb of light that ended up creating me?”
After a moment, Twilight shook her head. “Nothing. I’m not giving up just yet, we don’t want another pony to go through this again. Celestia was barely able to handle it, I don’t think a normal one can. And, I’m sure that learning more about it will help resolve your situation too.”
Feeling exasperated, Celestia leaned back into a larger cushion that she summoned with another snap. “My ‘situation’ is that I’m breastfeeding a foal. I’m not even supposed to have breasts.” To demonstrate, she pressed her breasts up towards her face, letting them fall back against her body afterwards.
Twilight rolled her eyes.
Trixie watched them intently.
Sunset glanced away as she reached a hoof out to poke them.
Twilight glared at Sunset.
“What?” Sunset looked back at Celestia after another eye roll came from Twilight. “Do you have a problem with me feeling them?”
Celestia looked back at her blankly, glancing down at the hoof hovering very close to her chest. She bit down on her lip, completely caught off guard by the question. “I’m really not sure.” Her head shook as she leaned forward again. “I’m not sure I like the three of you crowding around me to be honest. Also, who’s looking after the foals?”
Trixie shrugged, being the first to step back. “They’re probably sleeping now. None of us know what schedule they keep to.” She looked as if she was about to go upstairs when a knock at the door distracted her.
Before she could move, Sunset teleported over there and opened it herself. Fluttershy was peeking out from behind a bush, looking very timid. “Fluttershy, what’s going on?” After a moment, Sunset’s face paled. “There’s no more foals to deliver, you don’t have to worry about coming in, okay?”
In the meantime, Celestia had moved over to a different part of the room, summoning up a couch for her to lean against. “Twilight, let’s just do the infusion and be done with it.” She began tugging at the lower parts of her robes, to the confusion of the ponies watching her.
“Trixie isn’t sure she likes where this is going.” Even so, she couldn’t help but continue to watch as the end of the white robes slowly slid up Celestia’s legs.
Twilight was fixated in confusion at what was unfolding in front of her. “Uh, I’m not sure that’s the place where I should be ‘infusing’ you with magic. When I did that with Trixie, Stardust came out a year later.” The robes stopped rising at the thighs, at which point Celestia looked back at her.
“You’ve stuck your horn up there before, so it’s going to be the most receptive spot, right? Just stick it in, release some energy and I’ll see if it’s boosted my magic.” She pulled the robes up a bit more when she looked at Fluttershy and Sunset at the door. “I don’t think anyone will notice that much, really. No-one else knows I’m here after all.”
With that, she pulled the rest of her outfit up around her waist, leaving everything wide and exposed for Twilight.
For the mare, all it did was bring back memories of seeing the exact same ass and vagina sticking out of Princess Celestia, an image she had made every effort to block out. Only now it wasn’t covered in bodily fluids.
Sunset was too preoccupied with trying to coax Fluttershy inside to notice. “I swear, none of us are pregnant now. All of the foals are asleep, and Celestias One, Two and Three are fine. There’s nothing weird going on…” She looked back at Twilight, who seemed to be busy talking to Celestia while she was slumped against the couch. “See? Everything is okay.”
Fluttershy took a nervous step towards the door. Every part of her body was shaking, something not relieved as Sunset moved back to give her more room. Her eyes fixated on Twilight, who seemed to be leaning towards Celestia on the lounge. “Uh, Twilight? There’s a bit of a problem with Discord…”
Twilight froze, her forehead pressed into Celestia’s vulva. “Can it wait about five minutes? I’m a little occupied here. And I thought he agreed not to cause more trouble.” She closed her eyes tightly and focused on channelling her magic. While she doubted it would do anything other than potentially impregnate Celestia with another foal, at the very least it would keep her from complaining about it.
At last, Trixie tore her eyes away from the sight, idly moving to block the view of it all from Fluttershy. “Perhaps Trixie can be of assistance? Twilight isn’t the only one with powerful magic after all.” She looked at Sunset, who shrugged back. “What exactly has Discord done that requires Twilight’s help?”
There was a longer period of silence, broken briefly by an awkward gasp from Celestia’s direction. Fluttershy looked down at the wood floor, poking it lightly with her hoof. “Well, he mentioned something about popping out to visit a ‘starship’. I guessed Twilight would know what that meant, since her cutie mark is a star.”
“A starship?” Twilight opened her eyes again. She was about to release her magic burst, but held it in to keep from becoming distracted. “I don’t have a clue as to what that is, but it’s not something in Equestria as far as I know.” The impatient movements of Celestia’s thighs made her return to the spell. Breathing in, she pressed forward and let out a strong burst of magic right into her body.
Fluttershy went back to tapping at the floor with her hoof. “I guess I didn’t expect him to leave so abruptly without giving me a little more notice. I’m sorry for disturbing you.” She moved to leave, but was stopped by Sunset’s hoof on her shoulder.
“Fluttershy, you’re hardly disturbing. At least stay for a drink, we owe you that and much more.” She led the pegasus through to the kitchen, completely oblivious to the sight of Twilight pressed into Celestia’s rear. It took a moment for her to realize that Fluttershy wasn’t so oblivious.
The trembling of her lip before it dropped in horror was all Trixie saw before Fluttershy bolted for the door.
Twilight twisted her head around to try and get a look at the sudden commotion. All she could see was a long, pink tail flying out of view. “Fluttershy! I know how this looks, but it’s not what you-” She gasped loudly as she suddenly felt a strong suction on her horn. When she moved to pull it out, she found herself being pulled back in even tighter. “What’s going on? Celestia?”
“How am I supposed to know? All I’m feeling is your magic sloshing around. For that matter, I thought you weren’t going to use liquid magic!” She reached her hands back, curving them around the base of Twilight’s horn and pushing back.
The struggle to remove her horn drew Trixie and Sunset over. The former was first to speak. “So, Sunset’s not allowed to poke her breast, but you’re allowed to stick your horn inside her and spray around? That’s hardly fair.”
Sunset moved her own horn in, charging up a spell. “Trixie, apply a negative energy spell when I cast my positive energy spell. It should dispel whatever’s got Twilight trapped.” She watched as Trixie leaned in, their horns resting very close to the now red folds of Celestia. “Ready?”
Trixie nodded, blue sparks beginning to fly from her horn as she concentrated as well. Her eyes locked with Sunset’s, waiting for the moment to release. Just barely, she could hear Fluttershy cowering near the now closed door.
“Go!” Both ponies released their spells. The resulting whiplash knocked them both over.
Twilight’s eyes went huge. “The enlarging spell! It thinks I’m doing it again!” She could feel Celestia’s hands slip from her head. The walls just before her were opening up wide, drawing her head further and further in. She had to close her eyes as the flesh closed in around them. Strange smells and tastes overwhelmed her as her snout and mouth soon followed. Once her jaw entered, her head slipped through with a slick pop.
Celestia rolled onto her side, clutching at where Twilight’s head was inside her. The muffled screams continued for a few more seconds before finally fading out. “Twilight!” She reached back awkwardly to feel her neck. Despite the lack of noise, she was still somehow breathing. Eventually, she looked at Sunset and Trixie. “What do I do?”
The mares looked at each other, both unable to contain the shock of what had just happened.
Fluttershy was still sobbing away, not having noticed the predicament Twilight was in.
Another knock at the door came, followed by a perky voice. “I’m home with the doughnuts you wanted, Twilight!” It was Spike.
Once again, Sunset was quick to teleport, this time directly outside the door in front of Spike. “There’s been an accident, and we need Princess Celestia and Princess Luna here as soon as possible. Just stay at Sugarcube Corner once you’ve sent the letter, Twilight doesn’t want you to be exposed to what happened. Okay?”
Spike nodded hastily before running off, leaving the box of doughnuts on the ground. “Don’t worry Sunset, I’m sure you and Twilight can figure it out!” He was gone shortly after that, headed in the direction of Sugarcube Corner.
“I hope he just uses the pen and paper they have there…” Sunset prepared to teleport back inside when her eyes settled on the doughnuts. After a moment, she discreetly popped one into her mouth before teleporting inside with them. “We’ll save you some Twilight, promise.”
Celestia glared at her, motioning to her belly rather furiously. “Can they wait a bit? Squeezing a pony out was more than enough, I’d rather not have one squeezing in.” After a moment of fuming, she begrudgingly accepted the strawberry sprinkle doughnut offered to her.
In the meantime, Trixie looked at the tight seal around Twilight’s neck. “Trixie heard she crawled into Princess Celestia while she was still large. Perhaps this is something to do with that?”
Sunset shrugged as she moved in to the other side. “I helped get her out, and there weren’t any lingering effects as far as I could tell. Though you may have a good point.” She pressed her hoof against Celestia’s vulva, unable to part it from Twilight’s neck. “I don’t know why it would stop at the neck though.”
She lifted her hoof to scratch the base of her horn. “I wonder what’s taking Princess Celestia so long to get here. Surely Spikes sent the message by now.” The itching grew stronger as she turned around. “Trixie, do we have any horn lotion? This is really starting to bother me.” As she passed Twilight’s mark, her head suddenly swerved to the right. Her cheek landed squarely on the star.
Trixie had turned away for a moment to check, turning back upon hearing the thud. Her eyes dilated heavily. “Sunset!” She charged forward, quickly gripping Sunset’s head to try and pry her off Twilight. Nothing she did stopped Sunset from slowly sliding around Twilight’s flank.
Sunset couldn’t contain her growing fear as she felt her horn starting to enter Twilight. “Run! It might draw you in too!” Twilight’s smaller opening took longer to pull Sunset’s head in. Even while her eyes were buried into the flesh, she could feel the sudden pressure on her own flank as Trixie was drawn in as well. While her muzzle slid through slowly, she felt Trixie’s horn penetrating her as well.
“Twilight, I heard you had a special guest-” Rarity opened the door to the view of Trixie’s head being pulled into Sunset. Applejack and Pinkie Pie were right behind her. The jaws of all three dropped to the floor. Rarity went deathly pale, though neither of the ponies beside her could tell. When she tried to speak, a trail of saliva dripped down from her mouth instead.
“What kind of funky unicorn sexcapade is this mess?” Despite her blatant disapproval, Applejack couldn’t tear her eyes away.
Only Pinkie Pie noticed Fluttershy trying to crawl away from it all. “Fluttershy, when did you get here? And why didn’t you tell us that Twilight, Trixie and Sunset were trying out something new? That’s really inconsiderate y’know!” She looked back to see Applejack approaching Trixie, Rarity just behind her. “Is anyone even listening to me?”
Celestia was quickly finding herself short of breath, something that had gotten worse as Sunset and Trixie had become affected as well. Even so, she did her best to warn Applejack as she approached. “They’re… leeching off… me… Keep back… Keep back…” The burning in her lungs grew as a cry of surprise came from Applejack. She couldn’t keep herself from collapsing anymore, ending up buried in her white robes.
As Applejack’s head sank deeper into Trixie’s rear, Rarity grabbed onto her legs with in a desperate attempt to pull her free. “Even for you darling, this is completely indecent!” To her surprise, her own magic began to tug back on her horn, refusing to release Applejack when she willed it to. “Pinkieeeeeee-” The sudden jolt from her horn pulled her off balance, causing her to launch forward directly into Applejack. She had barely any time to wonder why she was so loose compared to Trixie before falling unconscious inside her uterus.
Pinkie blinked, looking over the chain starting with Celestia and ending with Rarity. “Fluttershy… Have fun!” She brushed Rarity’s tail aside, opening up the way in. Once it was settled, she moved back to the doorway. “Here comes Pinkie!” She charged the short distance from the door, plunging her head right into Rarity. Every pony in front stumbled forward, causing Celestia to painfully moan into the lounge.
As the silence set in, Fluttershy peered up from beneath her hooves. Pinkie’s shouting hadn’t helped her stress attack one bit, and while she wouldn’t admit it out loud, being free of it was a great relief. Carefully, she moved towards the door. “Celestia and Luna will fix it, I’m sure of it.” She made it into the safety of a nearby bush, looking around briefly to make sure the way was clear.
To her horror, Daisy, Rose and Lily approached the library, all preoccupied with their baskets of flowers. Before she could clear her throat to try and warn them, the union of basket dropping and horrified screaming had begun.
“The horror! The ho-aaaagh-”
“What’s happeni-”
“My flowers!”
Lily bolted out of the door, barely making it a few steps before a chain of flowers whipped around her neck and pulled her back inside.
It was too much.
Summoning up strength she didn’t know she had, Fluttershy flew high up into the air and took a deep breath.
“Abandon Ponyville!”
She landed on the ground with a hard thump, her wings stuck firmly to her body once more. Already, mares across from the library were wandering outside, curious as to who had just called for an evacuation. Curiosity that drew them to the residence of the closest royal authority they knew of, the one pony who would know how best to lead them in a crisis.
Twilight Sparkle, at Golden Oaks library.
Fluttershy bolted to the cover of the nearest home as more and more ponies wandered outside to join the crowd approaching the library. At any moment, it would all spiral into chaos. Whatever it was that had started the chain was clearly growing in power. As she cowered underneath a hay shelter, she could only listen for the inevitable screams to begin.
“Why does this always happen to me?” Between sobs into her hooves, she could hear the first scream echo through Ponyville. It had begun.
While crawling out of the shelter, she could see flower vines flying everywhere through the cloud, picking out random ponies to be added to the chain. Some ponies began joining in pairs, making smaller chains to be all linked together eventually. As a vine began sliding in her direction, she galloped away, not daring to look back.
Mounds of cupcakes running on sprinkle legs carried Mrs Cake out. Reams of paper curled into a swirling slide yanked Mayor Mare from her office high in Town Hall. Barrels containing various members of the visiting Apple family rolled into town on heavily bruised apples. Strips of bandages crawled along the ground, Nurse Redheart and the occupants of the entire maternity ward tied up on top of them.
Fluttershy watched as the spa ponies carelessly wandered into the fray, eyes covered by cucumber slices. “Wait!” She was about to brave the crowd when she watched Lotus willingly slide her head into Aloe, who bounded along to take her place in the chain. The sight made her flee that much faster.
“Find Zecora. She’ll know what to, right?” Approaching the edge of the Everfree forest, she finally allowed herself to collapse and start breathing. For once, lying on her back wasn’t uncomfortable, especially since it allowed her chest more room to expand with each inhale.
“I don’t get it. All this time you’ve been calling us names, being really mean, and otherwise making life miserable. Why are you two suddenly acting all nice to us?”
Fluttershy’s eyes widened to as far as her sockets would allow. In the confusion, she hadn’t realized that there were five fillies who hadn’t gone to Manehattan for a museum excursion.
Sweetie Belle was first to push her way out of a nearby bush, followed by Scootaloo and Diamond Tiara. Apple Bloom appeared a few seconds later, Silver Spoon right behind.
It was Scootaloo who spoke again. “Fluttershy? Are you practising for a marathon or something? We just saw Rainbow Dash at the lake, and she didn’t mention anything about a town race.” She looked at Sweetie Belle, who shrugged in response. Apple Bloom turned her head to the side, trying to make sense of Fluttershy’s condition.
“Rainbow… Dash?” She hadn’t been at the library, and there wasn’t any sign of her being in the crowd. Fluttershy’s hopes began to rise from the depths of despair. “Where did she go?” A hard cough came as she continued to struggle with her recovery.
Out of genuine concern, Diamond Tiara approached. “You really don’t look good at all. Is something wrong?” The other fillies approached slowly, all gathering at Fluttershy’s side.
She could barely turn her head without feeling sick from dizziness. “Please girls… Run away, as fast as you can. If you see Rainbow Dash… tell her to take you all to Canterlot. Please…” To her despair, Scootaloo shook her head.
“We’re not going to leave you here if there’s danger about. Cutie Mark Crusaders never leave a pony behind! Am I right girls?” She lifted her hoof into the air, glancing between Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom. As they raised their hooves to meet hers, all three leapt into the air with a unified yell of success.
Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon rolled their eyes, but refrained from making a rude remark. Instead, they both slowly helped Fluttershy to stand, once her heavy breathing had slowed.
In the midst of it all, she couldn’t help but feel glad that they had come to her aid at that moment. “Thank you girls. Just stay close to me, and don’t talk to anyone you see. Not until we’re away from Ponyville.” She took her first trembling step forward, almost losing her balance before steadying herself again.
“Fluttershy, you still haven’t told us why you’re so afraid of going back into town. Is it something that Twilight doesn’t want us to be near?” Sweetie Belle kept close to Fluttershy’s side, staying in view every time she took a step. She didn’t notice as Diamond Tiara began to fall behind the others.
Her eyes had become fixated on the crowd, barely visible through a maze of houses. “What is going on?” She stepped towards them, about to wander off and see what the commotion was about. A hoof wrapped around her body and pulled her back.
It took Fluttershy a moment to notice Scootaloo leading Diamond Tiara back to the group. The thought of what would have happened to her was too much to bear, especially in front of them all. “Please, I really mean it when I say there’s bad stuff going on. Don’t look back, for anything.”
There was a series of nods from the fillies, who followed Fluttershy until she stopped behind the pottery barn. Once again, Sweetie Belle took the initiative.
“Is this one of Discord’s pranks? I don’t get why you’d be so scared of it though, especially since you’re supposed to be his friend.” She sat down and looked at Fluttershy earnestly.
Apple Bloom continued to remain silent, staring back at the way they had come from. Granny and Big Mac were in Appleloosa, along with Babs. She was supposed to be on the way there herself with Applejack at that very moment. And yet, she still hadn’t even sent word of her delay. “Applejack’s caught up in that mess, ain’t she?”
For a moment, Fluttershy was speechless. Sweetie Belle hadn’t asked about Rarity, so she assumed Apple Bloom would be just as distracted. “Um…” She reached her hoof out to reassure Apple Bloom. “I really don’t know anymore…” As her hoof came to rest on the red mane, a surge of pain ran through her body. Again, she ended up rolling onto her back as she clutched at her chest and stomach.
Diamond Tiara slowly backed away from her. “Girls, what do we do?” She looked at Silver Spoon first, turning to Sweetie Belle as she continued to move away. “Screw it, I’m running for Canterlot. I can’t take this anymore!” Her head turned, slowly followed by her body. One hoof met the ground, followed by the other. The next step didn’t land.
Fluttershy wailed as she felt the pains inside her centre on a particular spot. Through will alone, she forced her head up, only to see Diamond Tiara trapped in mid-air. The muscles of her vulva began to stretch, parting the way for the impending penetration. Every bit of air escaped her lungs. The muscles in her body were out of her control. All she could do was watch as the filly was pulled toward her. The feeling of fur sliding inside threw her head back, both a horrible experience and a minor comfort.
The four fillies left didn’t have the comfort of not having to watch Diamond Tiara slide into Fluttershy’s uterus. On an impulse, all four came to the same conclusion. “Grab her!”
Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo grabbed her forelegs, only able to look into her terrified eyes as more and more of her vanished into the larger mare. It slowed a bit as her shoulders sunk through, the folds of Fluttershy’s opening taking longer to envelop her head. As her tiara fell to the ground, there was a very soft whimper before she slid inside entirely.
The sudden slide pulled both Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo in, their faces pressed against Fluttershy’s rear while their hooves slid around inside.
“This is the last time we try to save Diamond Tiara!” Scootaloo’s head popped through with that, her body following in close behind.
Sweetie Belle closed her eyes with the anticipation that she would be next. From behind, Silver Spoon spiralled past, pulled in by her tail until only her head was sticking out. Sweetie’s head pulled inside instead, her body tightly pressed against Silver’s as she slid through to join the unconscious fillies inside.
Apple Bloom continued to stare in the direction of the library, hoping to see Applejack coming to save her. Even as she pushed Silver Spoon’s head through with her own rump, she didn’t let go of the possibility.
“I’m sorry girls! I’ll get you out eventually!” The pain faded as Apple Bloom made Fluttershy’s belly swell that much more. No longer paralyzed, she looked up again at the sheer roundness of her body. Five fillies, all stuffed into her by powers she didn’t want to think about.
After some struggling, she managed to stand on her own hooves. The weight of her body nearly left her dragging along the ground, but she was still able to move. Any hope of making it to Canterlot while weighed down so heavily was dead though.
As she looked around, she spotted a set of black and white stripes nearby. “Zecora!” Hobbling very slowly, she closed in on the zebra. “Zecora, you have to help me!” Just a few steps away, she stumbled as her hoof knocked against her belly. Struggling to keep balanced, she had no chance to stop herself before her face planted right into Zecora’s rear. Before her head was pulled in at last, she just barely saw a flash of rainbow hair above Zecora’s neck.
Ponyville had fallen.
*
“This isn’t what I expected at all…” Princess Luna stepped onto the fresh grass from the Town Hall balcony, soon followed by Princess Celestia. Both were completely stunned by the sight before them, not quite able to process the sight. A long line of ponies, stretching all over town. The head of every single mare buried into the rear of the one in front.
They slowly walked beside the line, not daring to touch any of the affected ponies. As they approached Sugarcube Corner, Princess Celestia broke the silence. “In all my years, I’ve never encountered anything remotely like this. I don’t even know where to begin on resolving it.”
When the library came into view, both felt an odd aura of magic wash over them. They glanced at each other briefly, Luna looking back at the library first. “Could it be…” She went silent as Celestia nodded, her eyes closed.
“It may very well start with my counterpart. We need to tread carefully, sister.” She opened her eyes and began moving towards the library. The chain of ponies was tighter leading up to the doorway, to the point that they both had to teleport inside. Princess Celestia gasped as she took in the sight before her.
Celestia’s eyes had rolled back in her head, her chest heaving in a desperate struggle to take in enough air. Most of her exposed skin was purple, contrasted by the red surrounding Twilight’s soaked neck.
Princess Celestia practically leapt forward, touching her horn to Celestia’s back and applying a spell. “Celestia, concentrate. I’m trying to improve your ability to take in oxygen, but you must concentrate.” Her horn grew in brightness, almost to the point where Luna had to look away from its sheer brilliance.
As the spell took effect, Celestia’s skin began returning to a normal pink colour. Her laboured breathing slowed into a more stable rhythm. Seeing her eyes return to a normal position caused both Princesses to sigh in relief.
Once stable, she awkwardly moved onto her side, trying to lift her leg over Twilight’s body. “Thank you. Breathing for an entire town isn’t pleasant.” After some more struggling, she got her leg over, then proceeded to twist her body around Twilight. It left the horn poking up against her skin when she lay back on the lounge again. She snapped her fingers once comfortable, causing her robes to part and let her body cool down. “Any idea on what’s causing this?”
Princess Celestia shook her head. “All the letter said was that Twilight needed our help. I haven’t seen Spike since arriving here, so I can only assume he has managed to escape this disaster.” She began pacing around the room. “Whatever did this is wielding very powerful magic. And since Discord isn’t here currently, I’m lost for both a suspect and a solution.”
Luna sat down beside the lounge, resting her hoof on Celestia’s arm. “If you’re breathing for every pony in the chain, does that mean you are sustaining them with nutrients as well?” She glanced around the library on the odd chance there was something she could use to help Celestia sit up. In her condition, trying to eat while lying down wouldn’t work out well. “Then again, lunchtime wasn’t that long ago. They may have already eaten.”
There was a bored murmur from Celestia, who proceeded to roll her eyes when looked at. “I’m really not fascinated by this in the least. Please, just focus on fixing this problem, and talk about it afterwards. I’m sure you wouldn’t want me to ramble on while Twilight’s head was stuffed inside your rear.”
One of the flower vines flicked at the air. Both Princesses turned to look at it, watching with very stern eyes for any form of activity. It remained completely motionless. Nothing stirred in the room for a while, save Celestia’s chest as she continued to take deep breaths.
“Luna, I think you are better suited to investigating a solution.” Princess Celestia didn’t take her eyes off the vine, but she still knew when Luna turned to her. “Your magic is more finely tuned to the non-physical world, and I am still weak from Celestia’s creation. I will watch for any signs of retaliation in the meantime.”
Nodding, Luna returned her attention to Celestia, slowly resting her horn on the bulge in her body. “I will try to establish contact with Twilight. Since she was the first to be affected, she would show the strongest signs of influence.” Her eyes closed slowly as a blue aura began to appear around her horn. From inside Celestia, a very faint purple light glowed through the skin.
The silence grew very tense. One looked between the flower vines, the body of her student, and her pale skinned counterpart. The other looked between her alicorn counterpart and her swollen crotch.
Luna’s eyes snapped open as she quickly backed away from Celestia. “We need to leave, now! It’s not magic of this world!” Her horn continued to glow, sparks starting to spray in all directions from it. Her eyes were fixated on Celestia as she continued to back away. “Discord allowed something into Equestria by accident. If he doesn’t return soon…”
She looked down at the ground. To her horror, she discovered her attempts to move away were suddenly ineffective. Every hoof-step slid along the ground. Her mouth opened further as she felt herself starting to move back towards Celestia. The sparking in her horn fizzled out, all magical power she normally wielded rendered mute.
Celestia could only watch in shock as Luna’s body swung around, ready to pull her own head in. “Celestia! Take the foals and leave!” At that moment, her body was pulled painfully from the lounge, her head literally thrusting into Luna without any difficulty at all. Before unconsciousness set in, she could feel Luna’s folds slide down around her body further, pinning her arms to her side.
Luna was barely able to stand, her back legs forced apart further than she had ever experienced before that moment. As the difficulty in breathing set in, she was barely able to look at Princess Celestia before she collapsed.
There was a brief moment of hesitation before Princess Celestia fired up her teleportation spell. The air inside the library began to whirl around her, light beaming from every part of her body. The vines, papers and bandages began to pick up in the strong wind, trying to penetrate through her personal shield. As her body began to convert down into magical energy, she forced back the opposing magic even further. “You will not take Equestria!”
In a flash, the room emptied. All of the swirling inanimate objects fell to the ground, limp and lifeless. The room was silent once more. Not even Luna made a sound, breathing silently as she looked at the ground. Every part of her will was focused on making the muscles of her body push Celestia back out. While she wasn’t feeling any movement at all, she still persevered.
To her surprise, the area in front of her was filled with light again. In the following seconds, she watched as a shade of Princess Celestia began to materialize right in front of her. “Oh no…” The shade grew more and more tangible, accompanied by an increasingly loud sound coming from Celestia’s mouth. She began to feel the sensation of soft flesh forming around her neck.
The magical force was more powerful than either of them had imagined. In the face of the inevitable, Luna closed her eyes, waiting for the end to come.
“Shrink your horn! It’s larger than the space inside!”
Luna opened her eyes to see the walls of Princess Celestia’s uterus starting to form around the base of her horn. Acting on impulse, she pulled her head back as much as possible while applying a spell to shrink her horn. The light faded out as her horn shrunk down into her forehead. At the last moment, Luna felt the tip of her horn rubbing against the flesh walls, not merged with them as she feared.
It took a moment for Princess Celestia to recover, finally looking back. Despite the stress and horror of it all, she somehow found the ability to smile. “At least I didn’t have my head up my own…”
Before she had a chance to break out into hysterical laughter, movement at the stairway caught her attention. One of the foals had woken. For a moment, she wasn’t sure if she even wanted to say anything to her. They were stuck until Discord reappeared, if he was even able to.
To her surprise, her filly counterpart was the one who was walking down the stairs. Despite the sight before her, she looked very calm and composed. She was humming a melodic tune as she approached Princess Celestia. When close, she merely looked up at her and paused in her humming.
“I met Discord, he looked different. Like Celestia, he had a human body and face.”
Princess Celestia looked down at Celestia. Human. The word echoed in her mind, continuing to do so as she turned back to the tiny version of herself.
The little filly sat down, her flowing mane pooling around her on the floor. “When he returned here, I got pulled along behind him. I wanted to go home, but I had no body, and I was lost. When I found you…” She looked at the ground, her expression very glum at the realization of the consequences. “I only knew how to be formed by a human mother, so I created one inside you. I did not realize I could have let you birth me like a normal pony.”
For a while, neither of them spoke. Princess Celestia’s composure was slowly weakening, but she didn’t let it show through for the sake of the one before her. When clearing her throat, she found it more difficult than usual. “So, what happens now? My human self has been suffering greatly, and we are in a terrible predicament right now. I can’t sustain so many ponies indefinitely.”
Filly Celestia nodded slowly, standing up again. “I can heal what the chaotic magic of crossing over did to the ponies here. But, after that, I will have to return to my world. I can’t stay here much longer, or else I will fade away.” Her head turned to look at the motionless Celestia. “When I’m gone, the others will be able to merge back into you. I wouldn’t want either of them to continue suffering, especially if your human self really is in distress.”
Her tiny horn glowed. She floated up into the air slowly, until she was face to face with Princess Celestia. “Open your mouth. I need to separate every pony before releasing the spell. Phasing into the womb of each will be a strain.”
Princess Celestia was about to express her uncertainty about the plan, opening her mouth just slightly. It was enough for the filly to dash inside. The gag reflex kicked in as she felt the lump slide down her throat, bounce around her insides for a while, and finally a lump slide out her vagina inside Luna’s throat.
As each pony was released, she felt the strain on her own body easing. The tightness around Luna’s neck began to ease, to the point that she was able to start moving forward. Every part of her mind tried to ignore what it felt like. Using her sister’s head to get going was something she hoped to never think about ever again.
Almost at the exact same time, every single pony in the chain woke up.
Shortly after that, there was a long series of sloppy sounds as every single mare suddenly found themselves struggling to pull their head out of the one in front. The unicorns caused no shortage of shuddering moans as they freed themselves, the residual magic in their horns releasing in the process.
Fluttershy collapsed onto her side, ready to cry as she felt something slide out of herself. Through bleary eyes, she noticed a bright orb of light floating off into the sky. It eventually disappeared in a flash of light, causing the tears to start rolling.
“Woah, Fluttershy, what the hay happened to you?”
She glanced at Rainbow Dash, who absentmindedly poked her swollen belly. After wiping her eyes clean, she slowly stood up. “Wanna know what happened? Five fillies got sucked inside, and now I’m going to have to birth them all out! That’s what happened Rainbow Dash!”

Twilight looked at the three Celestias. Her mane was a mess, there was a sore bruise around her neck, and she didn’t even want to think about how much pain her rear was in. All she could think about was the difficult task she had.
“About what I said earlier…” Her eyes sank as human Celestia reached her hand out for comfort. “I suppose there’s no point in being awkward about my sexual fantasies, given what we went through. But, I just didn’t expect that you’d be gone so soon.”
Celestia rubbed her shoulder softly. For the first time, she was actually smiling. “Equestria doesn’t need three Celestias. And, without the being inhabiting my little filly, she won’t make it past a month old anyway. This is the best choice for everypony.” She leaned in and kissed Twilight’s forehead before leaning back and spreading her legs. “You sure you’re up to performing the spell?”
Twilight nodded, her eyes nearly filled with tears she couldn’t hold back. “I’m going to need a while to recover after this. But, I’ll manage.” Taking her turn to lean in, she pressed her horn against Celestia’s vulva, causing the muscles to stretch out once more.
After taking a moment to hold the filly to her face, Celestia lowered her motionless figure down. Her head leaned back as she gently slid her inside. There was barely a sound, even as she removed her hand after laying the infant inside her to rest. Once her hand was free, the spell wore off again. “Alright, it’s done. You ready Celestia?”
Twilight waited for the nod from her mentor before moving over and touching her horn to the sore white folds. She couldn’t help but shudder as Princess Celestia gasped in the same way she did when the original spell was applied.
Celestia placed one hand underneath her swollen belly as she crawled towards the opening before her. As she slipped her hand inside, she glanced at Twilight briefly. “Thank you.” With that, she moved onto her side and began pushing herself in. There was a bit of a struggle as her belly slid through. Once past that, her legs followed in smoothly behind.
For a moment, Twilight half expected Celestia to emerge again. As the spell wore off, the expectation died with it. At last, she allowed herself to cry, watching as her tears dripped into the rich purple carpet.
“Twilight?”
The voice was muffled. As Twilight looked up, she met Princess Celestia’s eyes. At the same time, they glanced at her swollen body.
“She’s gone, I’m definitely empty now. But, I’m still in here.”
Twilight’s eyes widened. Instinctively, she darted over and pressed her ear against Princess Celestia’s body. “Celestia? But… how?”
“Twilight, how long do you think it’ll be before you can do that spell again?”
As she leaned away, Twilight’s vision started spinning. After all that had happened, and the heartbreak of saying goodbye. “I… don’t know.”
“Well. Could you bring that box of doughnuts over? I’m a little hungry.”
Twilight glanced over at the white box of doughnuts. She didn’t recall bringing them from Ponyville, even after finding Spike had gorged himself on half of Sugarcube Corner’s supplies and putting him on a crash diet. “I don’t see how you’re going to eat them unless I teleport them inside…” As she turned back, she nearly dropped the box upon seeing an arm sticking out of Princess Celestia. She didn’t look impressed at all.
“Just hand it over. I don’t think she’ll mind too much, right?”
Not a single word was said as Twilight levitated a doughnut into the waiting hand. Her eyes watched as it was pulled into Princess Celestia, something her brain had trouble processing the sight of. “I’m so glad the stallions were in Los Pegasus. I don’t even want to think…”
Her jaw closed around a strawberry iced doughnut. This time, it was Princess Celestia who had done the levitation. “As Rarity says… Let us never speak of this again.”
