~several months later~

Ruby came bursting through the doors, her body in it’s earth pony form and a froth coming from her coat. Berry looked at her worriedly and asked, “What’s the matter Sugar Jizz? Why aren’t you in school?”

“Mom! We aren’t alone!” Ruby yelled.

“What do you mean?” Berry asked confused.

“Our relationship, what you and Auntie Cheers did before, and we might be doing someday. There are other’s like them, and they’re Princesses! Oh, and Derpy’s a Princess too!” Ruby yelled, prancing in place giddily.

“Honey Bear, you have to make more sense that that love,” Berry said holding Ruby lovingly.

“Diamond was caught with a tape, and just like notes the class gets to see what was so important that it had to disrupt our studies. So Auntie Cheers put in the tape and at first Twilight and Dinky were wacking themselves off while watching each other. Then Derpy turned into a Princess and did the spell to get a cock, and made a mare out of Dinky.

“While Twilight and Sweetie Belle were horn fucking each other. It was so beautiful I almost cried. But then Cheers took the tapes out and dismissed us. And I don’t think the Princesses knew they were being filmed, it didn’t look like it. Still we aren’t alone. But I don’t think a lot of ponies will like them being like us,” Ruby explained.

Berry blushed and nodded, “I see. So that’s why you’re here early.”

“Yeah, but Sweet Tits?”

“Yes Sugar Jizz?”

“We need to go there and let them know we stand beside them right? We might lose each other, but they were outed and they need to know that ponies are like them right? That we will stand by them no matter what? That’s the right thing to do isn’t it?” Ruby asked tears starting to pool around her eyes.

“Yeah it is, I’ll admit, when I lose you it’ll be the worst moment of my life. But you know what?” Berry said holding her daughter tightly.

“What?” Ruby cried despairingly.

“I have never been so proud of you. Knowing I’ve raised such a caring, loving, and mature young mare. And even if for a small while I had you as a lover. I am so, so proud of you. Never forget that, now let’s go support those ponies,” Berry said proudly as she stroked her weeping daughter’s back until the crying subsided. Knowing that this was probably going to be the last time she was going to be with her daughter she let her ride on her back. A pony form of deep affection and support from an older pony to a younger one.

As they trotted to the Golden Oaks Library they heard Rainbow Dash yell, “You hear that I love her! And I’m never leaving your side.”

Just as they neared closer they heard the rich elegant voice of Octavia yell, “You should all be ashamed of yourselves!”

Which unsurprisingly was followed up by Vinyl’s less than family friendly, “Yeah! All of you suck donkey balls!”

“Vinyl! There are foals present!” Octavia said offendedly.

“Sorry Tavs, I meant to say, we should be thanking these ponies, not being a stinky bag of horse apples,” Vinyl Scratch said sheepishly.

Berry Punch watched as Silver Spoon climbed on top of Octavia’s back as they trotted next to Twilight and others, “I’m Octavia, and these loves of my life are Vinyl Scratch and Silver Spoon. That tape of yours and your public example have inspired my loves. And have made us feel better knowing we weren’t alone.”

Berry Punch and her walked up next to Octavia. Giving her daughter a loving kiss, she pulled back and looked at Derpy, “You’ve made me and my Precious Gem feel less alone as well. We’ll be forever thankful Derpy.”

Soon more and more ponies joined the group and after a few minor verbal altercations with Mayor Mare, who Berry saw wasn’t liking her job at that point in time felt a pain of pity for her, they were rounded into the library where Twilight started to freak out. As she wrote up a storm to the Princesses in charge. Seeing as she was busy, she trotted up to Cheerilee and Spike, “Hey sis. Um … I don’t like feeling like dead weight. Can me and my little Sugar Bugger make nourishments for everypony?”

Cheerilee looked at Spike and who gave a nod before hopping off her back and leading them to the kitchen. Spike looked at them and gave a sigh, “Listen, what you two did was cool. I saw that you didn’t arrive until Octavia started moving forward, so I’m not annoyed like I am with the rest of them for not defending Dashie until Octavia did.

“What I guess I’m trying to say is … you and Ruby are pretty cool, and I didn’t know if I wanted to share my greatest treasure. But if her families as cool as you too are then I guess I could make us all a special something?” Spike said scuffing the floor with his foot nervously.

Berry chuckled and nuzzled him, bringing a blush to his face, “We can talk when our world isn’t in total chaos? How about next week?”

Spike nodded, and Berry said, “Cool Spiney, now where’s the stuff needed to make a good punch for our guests?”

With Spike’s guidance to where everything was at. Berry and Ruby set about to making enough punch for everypony. And as the hours rolled by, Berry and Ruby played hostess to the slightly crowded masses of ponies sat nervously to see where the executioner's axe as it were would land. It was even more hours later after Twilight got her reply and created duplicates to sign before ponies chose who they’d like to side with as their Alpha’s. Which Berry and Ruby waited until almost every pony had left.

Berry looked at Spike who had until a few minutes ago been her little server along with Ruby, who was now curled around her little love, both of them snoring contentedly into the punch bowl. That got her a group d’awww as she walked up to the Princesses, “Hey Princesses I have a question?”

“What is it Berry Punch?” Twilight asked looking motherly over her number one assistant curled around Ruby.

“Well Spike’s going to be in your herd, and Cheers is going to follow Spike. But do we have to do that? I mean what if we like all of you? Or can’t choose?”

“Hmmm … well this is mostly on paper, but I guess you could be transient with more than one. Just choose whom you would like to associate the most,” Twilight responded.

Berry felt a giddy happiness knowing she wasn’t going to lose Ruby, and Ms. Horny sprouted out in front of everypony left. Celestia and Luna cocked an eyebrow and Twilight tilted her head, “You have Nascentism?”

“Quite a few ponies in Ponyville do. Don’t know why it’s only here though, and before you ask, no I can’t control it yet. Although Rarity’s helped me learn how to use Ms. Horny here,” To which Ms. Horny grumbled irritatingly.

“Yeah, yeah, I know you don’t like behaving, now sush.”

“You talk to your horn still?”

“Rarity’s been trying to talk me out of it, but you know, decades of a bad habit with a finicky appendage and all that,” Berry sighed.

Twilight shrugged, and leaned in for a hug which Berry gladdy returned, “Well I’m sure we can help with that as well. Being in a semi-official transient status means we stand beside each other and protect one another. Just as you all did for me. So no matter who you choose. I guess welcome to the herd? And thank you so very much for everything. You and your little gem are good ponies.”

Berry blushed and with that checked all of the princesses in Ponyville, and Cadance whom she was at the wedding for. Picking up her daughter, she didn’t know what the future would hold. But she knew with the princesses beside them the future was about to be much brighter.

Author's Note

So this ends this side-continuity fic for Forbidden LoveVerse. I hope y'all liked it. I'm going to enjoy playing with those ponies in the show / wiki. That can't keep their species straight. But Berry and Ruby were my first, and my first attempt at writing Shifters in a clop. Not counting GEFO where the Lings there didn't really change species all that much other than their genitilia. But a true shifter that was fun, I especially loved writing Ms. Horny. She was a hoot. I actually think it's going to be a new fetish I'm going to enjoy using when and where it pops up.

Super amount of thanks to GJP who helped flesh out Nascents and the shifting bits as they are so far. Really cool person, I'm happy that GJP got me into doing these fics. I've felt this inspired in awhile. Next fic coming out is RichDiamonds, a Diamond Tiara and Filthy Rich fic.
