Shining Armor got out of bed, just like he did every morning. He trotted into the bathroom and started the shower water, not even bothering to look at himself in the mirror. He washed himself up, as he thought about the events of the day ahead. He shook his mane free of water, and got out of the shower, draping his towel over him. He took one look one look in the mirror, and screamed.
“AHHHHHHHHHHHH… WHAT THE BUCK?” He screamed, in an extremely high pitched voice. His hair was longer, his body, leaner, and his… thing was gone. Somehow, he was a SHE.
It was at this point that his beautiful wife Cadence came in. “Are you alright dear, I heard scre… who the buck are you and why are you here?” She went from happy to pissed off in under a second. “If my husband is sleeping with you, Celestia help me.”
“Dear, it is me!” Shining Armor exclaimed.
“You’re a female, but not bad makeup job. Too bad that femininity gave you away you slut.” Cadence screamed.
“I am Shining Armor, and I can prove it!” She squealed. She walked up to Cadences ear and whispered something into her ear. Cadence’s eyes went wide as she realized this really was her husband, because no one else knew what happened that day.
“Shining! What happened to you?” Cadence asked.
“I don’t know, I woke up, took a shower, then my wife came bursting in here, calling me a slut and a whore.” Shining said sarcastically.
“I meant what happened to you, how did you become a female?” Cadence asked.
“I don’t know, I cant remember.”
“Well, I know someone who can, but its going to have to wait. I have a royal meeting in a few minutes, then we can head off to ask your little sister for help.”
“Not Twily, she cant see me like this!” Shining squealed.
"What other option do we have dear? just wait here until my meeting is over, ill let the guards know you're sick today, and not to be disturbed. ill come back and get you when i am done, OK?" Cadence asked, looking Shining into her eyes.
"Yes Dear." Shining submitted.
It was about an hour after Cadence left that Shining was getting hungry. He realized he hadn't eaten breakfast, like usual, due to the being a female and all, and didn't think it would be too much trouble to go down to the private kitchen and get himself a snack. He opened the door, and looked both ways down the hall. It seemed clear, so Shining carefully made his way down the stairs. He heard hoof steps coming up so he hid in one of the crevices in the stairwell, keeping as quiet as possible. He saw two guards talking about their wives and their kids. They passed him, and he waited a a good 5 seconds until coming out. Shining went back on his way down the stairs. After 5 more minutes of walking down the halls, he finally came to the private kitchen.
"STOP!" a guard yelled. The guard trotted up behind Shining. "What is your name?" The guard didn't look amused, seeing as this female looked exactly like his boss, Shining Armor, even the cutie mark was the same. But the obvious lack of bulk was too obvious.
"Umm, my name? Its uhh..." Shining couldn't reveal what had happened, not yet. "My name is Gleaming Shield, I am Shining Armor's cousin from Canterlot. He and Princess Cadenza thought it would be a good idea to have me over for awhile. If you do not believe me, go ask Shining Armor, i can bet he would love to see me in hoofcuffs." Shining threatened. As a female, he had made himself, he was now she, and she was Gleaming Shield.
"Very well, but do not cause trouble, good day Miss Shield." the guard said, trotting off.
Shining couldn't believe it, she had actually gotten away with it. She smiled than opened the door. Standing there, staring at him. Was his wife, Princess Mi Amore Cadenza.
"Almost had it." Gleaming said, smiling like a buffoon, looking at Cadence. "Hey Honey."
“What are you doing here, I told you to stay in the room.” Cadence yelled.
“Sorry dear, I got hungry.”
“And the Guard? What did you tell him?”
“I told him I was my cousin, Gleaming Shield. Worked like a charm.”
“Well, Miss Gleaming Shield, we have a meeting with a princess, and your little sister.” Cadence smiled, this was perfect payback for last weeks prank of making her bath bubbles overflow. She looked into her husband’s feminine eyes, he was scared.
“Private Ryanstone!” Cadence called into the hall.
“Yes your highness?” The guard that confronted Shining Armor came up to the door, hoof to his forehead in salute.
“I am taking Gleaming Shield on a trip to Ponyville, to meet her cousin Princess Twilight. While I am gone, General Smashemup is in charge, since Shining Armor is sick right now. He is not to be bothered under any circumstances understand?” Princess Cadence commanded.
“Yes your highness, I will go tell the General the news.” Private Ryan marched off into the corridor.
“Come now little pony, we have a princess to meet.” Cadence said, strutting down the hall. Gleaming Shield’s head was hung down low, following Cadence. What would Twily think when she saw him like this? She would probably laugh, and make fun of him. Just like he had done when she was a little filly.
The carriage ride was uneventful, and the royal carriage landed in front of the library of Ponyville, and the home of the newly crowned Princess Twilight Sparkle. Cadence knocked on the door with her hoof and waited, Gleaming Shield was still moping with her head hung low, waiting for the laughter to begin. The door opened, and the two Royal ponies were greeted by a small purple and green dragon.
“Hello Spike, is Twilight in?” Cadence asked.
“Yes, she is actually studying right now, but im sure she wilol be happy to see you. Come on in, I will go tell her.” Spike said, running off. Cadence pushed Gleaming Shield in the door, and shut it behind her.
“Cadence!”
“Twilight!”
“Sunshine Sunshine, Ladybugs awake.”
“Clap your hooves, and do a little shake!” They both said, both of them giggling.
“Cadence, what brings you here?” Twilight asks. Cadence moves to the side, revealing Gleaming Shield. Twilight looks her over, notices her cutie mark, then chuckles.
“Brother what did you get yourself into?” Twilight asked.
“I don’t know!” He exclaimed.
“This is nothing, its only the after effects of Purple Poison Joke. Ever since the blue poison joke incident, and Discord declaring he made the darned flower, he has been making more colors. You must have just touched one, and this happened. Its nothing, it will go away.”
Gleaming Shield sighed in relief. “So I wont be like this forever?”
“No, the purple poison joke’s effects only last up to 24 hours.” Twilight said.
“That’s good that its not permanent.” Cadence said.
“So, until the effects wear off, you can stay here, on one condition.” Twilight said. Just at that moment Rarity trotted in.
“WHO CALLED FOR A MAKEOVER??” Rarity exclaimed. Gleaming Shield screamed, with Twilight and Cadence just laughing.
