Author's Note

What kinda crack am I smoking? I discussed this with a collaborator who said I should go through with this chapter, so I went and did it.

Chapter XV- Fabulous!

Kaguya jumped upon hearing the silence of the kitchen broken with what sounded like a mare and a stallion shrieking in horror as an explosion shook the house briefly. She rushed to the living room and the sight the world threw at her made her mouth drop open, her eyes go wide, and her mind scramble more than it had been scrambled prior.

Thick smoke was clearing out from where Rekka and the other visitors stood, and everyone inside was coughing up a storm. As the smoke cleared, the forms of the visitors became clearer--the catch was, Yuuki and Koto were now stallions with shorter manes and Nagare, Rekka, and Tenmei were all mares with longer manes. As well as damn near hacking up lungs, the five choked out “Fuck!” and “Dammit!” every now and again until the smog finished clearing.

“What happened?!” Kaguya blurted out, her jaw twitching.

“I...I think I fucked up a spell!” Rekka gasped, coughing into his--no, her--hoof.

“My sister is now my brother…” Imura murmured, an irritated smile on her face and her eyes narrowed. One brow was arched more so than the other, and that corresponding eye was twitching.

“And my brother is now my sister…” Kaze agreed with more or less the same expression on his face.

“What...makes you say that?” Nagare choked, eyes watering despite the smog being gone with a rather high-pitched voice. Her eyes widened and a hoof quickly covered her mouth, wings shifting uncomfortably.

“You have a squeaky voice?” Tenmei asked with a smirk before covering her own mouth with a hoof, her face also complete with wide eyes.

“I...don’t recall magic making explosions…” Koto began, cringing and tucking his tail between his legs, “or changing genders…”

“What spell did you fuck up, fire ant?!” Yuuki barked, his eyes narrowing low as he glared at the red-maned-stallion-turned-mare.

The mare backed away, crimson eyes shrinking. “I-Illumination?” She squeaked, ears on her skull.

“That doesn’t explain the explosion, you spiced-up cheese puff!” The pegasus screamed, wings spreading menacingly wide.

Reina turned to her friend, a hoof pointed at the lot of visitors with her mouth hanging ajar. The white mare shrugged, ears twitching.

Nagare lowered her hoof, blinking. She took in some deep breaths to calm herself down, her still-reeling mind trying to assess the situation. “Let’s hope it wears off tomorrow.” She said, finally. The green pegasus was avoiding eye contact with everyone else.

“What if it’s permanent, pine tree?!” The purple stallion yelled at the top of his lungs, eyes turning red in anger as he turned to the emerald mare.

“I’m just not gonna take sides.” The tan mare mumbled under her breath, polishing her glasses in her hooves.

Nagare turned to her fellow pegasus, a smirk adorning her muzzle. A dark, smug smirk at that. Slowly, she rose a hoof, pointing it at the purple pony, clearing her throat for a moment. Quick as a whip she then moved to the purple pony and wrapped the same raised hoof around his neck.

“Ya have something to say?” Yuuki asked, a vein appearing on his forehead. “Spit it out already.”

“Someone’s FABULOUS!” The emerald mare jeered at the highest possible pitch of voice she could muster before she kissed his cheek and broke out into hysterical laughter. She moved away in haste as her giggle fit rocked her to the core, wings flapping madly and dislodging some feathers loose in the process.

Yuuki’s face began to turn crimson, steam blowing out his ears. “Alright, c’mere so I can kick your sorry ass, lawnmower!” He yelled.

“But I’m a mare, and you’re a stallion--you can’t hit me, Violet.” Nagare teased, easing up from her laughter.

“Not right yet I can’t.” The purple pegasus retorted, a dark smile adorning his own muzzle. “But just you wait until dusk falls…”

“Even so, you still lack something!” The green pegasus teased, her smug smile turning into a cheeky grin.

At that point, both were whacked upside the heads with Koto’s boomerang. “Both of you, can it.” He said, an eye twitching. “Right now. It’s bad enough as it is!”

“She--no, he’s--right, guys.” Rekka agreed, nodding her head up and down.

“What just happened?” Reina asked, turning back to the visitors whilst blinking.

“I have no damn clue! I just work here!” Kaguya answered, waving a hoof dismissively.

“What in the blazes is going on?” Takashi asked as he came down the stairs with Mimi, Kasai, and Tori in tow.

“I...botched a spell…” Rekka murmured, her legs shaking.

“You...botched a spell?” Takashi inquired, brow arched as he scratched his head with a hoof. Then, the fact the unicorn now had a high-pitched girly voice hit him like a brick, and his eyes went wide instantly. “WHAT SPELL DID YOU BOTCH TO BECOME A MARE?!” He cried, jaw hanging ajar afterwards.

“I-I just botched it, okay?!” The red-maned mare cried back, hanging her head in shame afterwards.

“Let’s hope it’s temporary.” Tenmei remarked, her forelegs crossed. “Otherwise...eugh…”

The blue unicorn groaned, a hoof connecting with his face. “I feel violated in so many ways thanks to the magical mishap…” He murmured, ears flat on his skull.

“As do I.” The purple pegasus agreed, wings shifting uncomfortably.

Nagare stuck her tongue out and blew a raspberry at Yuuki, who then promptly turned to look at her whilst growling like an angry dog defending a bowl of food. She held a green hoof to her muzzle and giggled back in a teasing manner, retracting her tongue in the process.

“I don’t know what to make of this anymore…” Kasai mumbled, shaking his head at the display he had just witnessed.

“I’m gonna take that mane of yours, and I’m gonna style the shit out of it!” The green pegasus mocked, sticking her tongue out once again.

“To what?” The purple stallion snarled, raising the hoof with the yo-yo strapped to it in a threatening manner.

“I’ll make it into an afro, and then it’ll be hot pink!” The mare replied, once more bursting out in frantic laughter.
