If Wishes Were Ponies

"Dude, get this fucking dog off me! Seriously, he's getting slobber in my combadge." The dog in question was white, a stark contrast against the dreary cardassian-style corridors. If he hadn't been all up in my face while I was in the middle of repairing a Crucial junction, I probably would have petted the thing and not given a shit.

"Relax dude, Buster's harmless." Jameson dismissed with a laugh.

Yeah he’s harmless, but WE HAVE WORK TO DOOOOooo... wait a minute.

"Buster? You said Buster was a family poodle who died when you were seven!?"I asked, Inexplicably feeling a cold chill go down my spine as I spoke..

"He was." I finally managed to shove the giant fluffy mut off me, only to watch him get a rewarding pat on the back from Jameson who had a distant look in his eyes. Was? Then who is this? Did he get another dog with the same name? What’s going on?

"Dude, I thought the station had a policy against pets being on duty like this. You are going to get us both in serious trouble!" I exclaimed. Jameson laughed, an almost sad little laugh.

"I haven't had a dog in years... this little guy shouldn't even exist..." What the fuck? Seriously... this is getting weird. Was Jameson losing it?

"James, the dog is right there! Quite joking around and get that mut back to your quarters before security snatches him and you are demoted or something!" Jameson stayed seated and kept looking down at the dog, with a frown on his face. "Dude, we need to..." I trailed off staring in shock and confusion as a giant kitten strolled down the hallway across from us...

Something was definitely going on.

I tapped my combadge once, hoping to contact the Lieutenant, but all I could hear on the other end was laughter. Not nervous laughter, or sad laughter. It sounded canned, almost fake and yet somehow cheerful. If you know what I mean.

I tried the next rank up, all that gave me was the sound of waves crashing onto a beach. I tried my friend two departments over, but he just kept going on about some hot girl he was chatting up.

Had everyone gone nuts?

"Dude?" Huh? I turned back to Jameson and was surprised to see that the dog was suddenly gone. I didn't hear it leave. Then again, I had been busy with my combadge. "What do you daydream about?"Jameson asked out of the blue.Seeing I had heard him he continued: "I mean... is there some girl you wonder about sometimes, one you fantasize about?" Damit! Does he know?

"N-not really, I just keep to myself most of the time." James laughed.

"What then? Do you imagine yourself in the Captain's chair? Do you ever imagine yourself fighting alongside a holosuite hero?" I.. huh? What was James getting at?

"Sometimes, I imagined me playing with Buster, back when I was a kid. Things were so simple then" I watched in slow shock as James seemed to... regress in age. H-how was this possible. Starfleet had plenty of incidents where crew's ages were accidently changed, but it was always in a transporter or some accident, and usually painful and terminal. James was calmly and unflinchingly, regressing right before my eyes.

H-how was this possible.

"Don't you ever imagining being someone else?" He asked, in a young, but unmistakably Jameson, voice H-how did he... know?

I felt a tingling all over, as if all my limbs were close to falling asleep. The feeling persisted until I felt myself begin to stagger, darkness flooding my eyes...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Where... was I?

"H-hold still m-sir... you seem to have stumbled in the recent shaking of the station and hit your head." Station? Shaking? Since when had the station been-

~RUMBLE~ Ohh... damn, this posting was seriously becoming livelier than advertised.

"Now... I'm afraid we are undergoing some difficulty, and" I stopped listening as  I turned to slip out of the med bed I woke up in.

~RUMBLE~ I gasped as I felt my feet give out under me, causing me to fall back onto the bed, the normal traction of my boots being replaced by what I think's a sock.

Damn that hurt!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I slowly got out of the bed for a second time. The headache I woke up with having become twice as irritating. I made a mental note to be more careful when waking up. I opened my eyes just in time to see Doctor Bashir run out the door, with a strangely behaving Jadzia in tow. I swear that whereever I get posted, the people in charge were Nutjobs.

Twice as worrisome was the insane ruckus going on in the promenade. I think I saw two emu's run past a man shouting some prophecy. There was even a clown in one of the corners that I'm sure will show up in several nightmares I have in the future . I shuddered in relief as the door, between the medway and the promenade closed.

"What are nadion phase particles?" A purple alien thing asked while looking at a medical tablet, her horn glowing brightly as the tablet recalled information from a database.

"Are you a SPY?!" A blue alien with a rainbow mane questioned, interrogating a misfortunate nurse she had managed to corner.

"How do you keep oxygen in this s... ohh!" The purple one asked the tablet, processing info faster than she could ask questions.

I stared in shock as two of the main characters from a little girl's show I liked ran amuck in the medical office. I knew who they were of course, but that didn’t make it seem any less impossible. Rainbow Dash was the one bombarding the nurse with accusations, easily keeping afloat with strong wings that any pegasus pony would be jealous of. While the other, the new alicorn ‘princess’ Twilight Sparkle was currently ingesting information from a -probably- stolen PADD at incredible speeds. Her horn glowing dully, and her wings folded against her side. How two ponies from a cartoon could be here was a question I wanted the answer to, however It was at this point I noticed a mirror, perfectly placed for me to see my own reflection.

To be honest, I'd fuck me. The skin was perfect, the hips wide, the middle thin, the legs long, thighs holdable, and lips that were more than tempting. Everything was what I imagined a attractive girl to look like, except my pants were incredible tight in the one area a man never wanted his pants to be skin-tight.

Wait, what?! When had that happened?! Why was I like this... Was I a girl!? I mean, the pants were cramped, but no male from any species I know looks like this.

I gulped slightly and looked down the neck hole of my uniform. Nope, still a guy. No breasts, and I could see a bulge in my underwear.

"Hmm, so the plasma flow junction travels out of the reaction, or is that in?"

"Where has Equestria gone, and what did you do with it?!"

It seems the two ponies' antics had only gotten worse, the nurse and been reduced to a whimpering mess. I had been watching the show in the holodeck so it was likely me that imagined them up. Yes, I had made the jump that our our imaginations were affecting our reality, it wasn’t that hard to work out. I had obviously imagined looking like a girl, and so I became one. like my friend imagined being a kid, and so become one. I can learn! Except now I had to deal with my secret 21st century toy bait idols.

"Excuse me, Twilight, Rainbow Dash?" Both ponies turned their wide open eyes to me, and I could feel my stomach drop into the fleshy ass I had acquired.

"Ohh my gosh, you know our names! Did that mean you summoned us?"

"WHAT DID YOU DO WITH APPLEJACK?!" Rainbow Dash screamed in my face before I could react.

My stomach had somehow managed to drop even further down into my thin sleek feet. Feet that were currently in thigh high stockings.

"Hey babe, sorry I was so hostile a second ago, I hadn’t realized that you were a colt." Wait what?! I returned my attention to dash, only to see her looking at me from over her shoulder in what could only be described as a seductive manner as she calmly trotted over to my med-bed.

"Dash! I've been looking at their medical... files, I think. That thing is basically a monkey!" Ouch Doc Sparkle, a blow to humans everywhere.

"Eh, shut up egghead. Gilda's basically a cannary and a house cat going through catnip withdrawl, and I still tapped that." Ohh fuck, that was hilarious.

There was a sudden calm as the soft shaking of the station stopped. I hadn’t even noticed it till now.

"Odd." Damnit , I'd thought out loud again.

"Ohh, is that not normal? I should make a note of that." Damnit Twilight.

"Look, you guys are just figments of my imagination, and you need to go." Rainbow Dash, fully ignoring what I just said, appeared to be circling me in a way which made me question if ponies were herbivores.

"Mmm, well, how do we know you aren't a figment of my sexy imagination?" G-dammit Dash!

"Look, nurse, I'll..." Where had the nurse gone?

"Ohhh Doctor, that's not what the handle of the hypospray is for!" No, Bashir hadn't returned. I'd been facing the door this whole time. Stupid nurses and their doctor fetish .

"So, sexy, wanna follow their lead?" I shoved the horny pegasus off of me and pointed her to the door.

"Come on, I'm taking you back to my quarters till this all blows over and you disappear." Ohh fuck, I only realized how that sounds after I had said it.

"Excellent. Hope you have some spare sheets." Just.. fuck.

"Whatever. Twilight, leave the PADD, it's not okay to steal 'em." Twilight's precious ears flipped down like she'd been kicked. "I have one in my quarters. You can use it, but I'll have to lock out a few things." Her ears kinda inched up, reaching their peak only after a few seconds. after what appeared to be a bit of thinking.

"Th-that would be okay..." I felt relief flood through my whole system. With Twilight onboard, at least I had a chance of containing Dash's libido. Still, I guess I should be happy that it was just the two of them. If all the mane 6 were here I'd be up shit creek without a propulsion device.

. "Darling,” came a voice from elsewhere in the room. I recognized the voice immediately, “the outfits here are just Horrible. All one piece suits, no accessories aside from those silly little badges and some more fashionable earrings. Well, I say more fashionable, but those are usually garish and too loud."Earrings that are too loud? What? Did the fashion diva herself really just say that?! "Mmm, what am I saying, I love them!"

Wait, no! My imagination was feeding this! I had to stop thinking about ponies. I HAVE to stop thinking about ponies.

"Umm, Twilight, darling? This poor lady is looking kinda constipated. Is she okay? Perhaps we should find the doctor and get this lady a check up?" The source of the voice trotted in front of me, assuring me that I had correctly identified the white unicorn with a purple mane.

"oohhh Doctor, HARDER!" I found myself blushing now, despite myself.

"Well, that plan is a bust. Twilight, perhaps some of these medical doohickys can help. I'm not going in with a clog in the way." Wow Rainbow Dash, real classy. Why don't you just get drunk and do jokes were donkeys go into bars.

"Dash, you surely don't intend to do anal on this poor girl on a first date. Shame on you!" I... wait, THAT's what Rarity thought was what wrong with what Dash wished? What the fuck was up with these damn little horses. Why were they all horny?! I hadn't imagined that, I assure you!

"Rarity, you seriously haven't put one and one together yet have you. This guy is a total virgin. Unless his mouth is a lot more proficient than I think, the back door is the only way I'd get off!" I closed my eyes and clutched my head in intense frustration. Rarity barked something indignant in response, but I blocked it out.

Suddenly, the ruckus on the Promenade ended. The birds, floozies, scary clowns, prophets, all of that was gone. The ponies were silent too.

They were gone. That means I was back to normal. That also means the ponies were gone... I guess... I was kinda disappointed now that they were, but at the same time it was a good thing. With them gone, I could go back to work and pretend the whole incident never happened.

"Hey new friend! Let's buck and then throw a party to celebrate bucking!"

I slowly realized that the bed's thin mattress had not changed under me. That meant my weight hadn't changed. That also meant my ass was still the same shape. I felt a tiny, almost non-existent, adams apple drop, meaning I hadn't changed in form or weight. That meant I still probably looked like a girl.

Why me?
