RED

I held Red in my arm as we waited for a doctor. "...You feeling okay?"

Red swallowed hard as she hid in her hoodie. "They just fell off...." Her voice was high and quivering. "I wasn't ready for that." She stared straight ahead and leaned against my shoulder. "...Just...woke up and they were gone. Just on the bedspread."

I rubbed her foreleg and leaned my cheek against her crown. "It's okay." I hugged her against me and sighed. "Probably supposed to happen.... Probably."

Red nuzzled against me and put her hoof against my knee. "I-- I really just don't know what to think right now...." She didn't sound too anxious, but the confusion and fear was in each wiggle and adjustment. "...I guess that means it's working, right?"

I took a deep breath. "I have no idea." I looked down at her. She looked up at me, her face framed by her stock standard grey hoodie. "Is your dick going to just fall off too?"

Red's eyes went wide. She snapped forward and dug her hoof into my leg. "Why did you put that thought into my head?" She put her hoof against her head and leaned against my chest. "Oh dear Celestia I hope not."

I rubbed her side and looked around the dull wooden lobby. The sound of tapping came from beyond a small wooden door. "Red, Heiner?"

Red took a deep breath and stood upright. "Hey...so--"

"Insurance." I crossed my arms. "Don't worry."

Red nodded slowly, but her frown flashed to a smile for a moment. "Alright." She turned around and faced the doctor. She limped through the door and left me waiting quietly in the lobby. I leaned back into my chair and closed my eyes.

"Mr. Heiner?" A soft voice pulled me back from the brink. "Mr. Heiner?"

I opened my eyes and looked to a pony in a white coat. "Huh?"

The pony smiled at me. "I suspect you haven't been told what's going on yet, have you? You're relatively new onto the scene, yes?"

I rubbed my neck. "Yeah, I guess."

The doctor nodded a few times and took the seat next to me. "You look tired, so I'll give you the quick version." He took a deep breath and nodded. "Red started coming in when she was seventeen, permanent changes can take anywhere from three months to a year, Red's case has been rather strenuous but it seems like we've hit a good point."

"...Her balls fell off."

The doctor smiled and nodded. "Testes falling off is by far one of the last steps."

I scratched my neck. "Cool?"

The doctor nodded. "At any rate, it looks like she's going to go through and be completely fine. But, some things you should know, she'll have to come in before the penis actually comes off, and after that.... Well, she'll just be any other mare. Fertile, healthy-- well...as healthy as any other pony, right?" He poked his gut. "Bucky's really did a number on-- On uh.... You don't care, okay."

I rubbed my eyes. "Sorry, I'm really tired. Was in bed then suddenly boop Red freaks out and I have to run over here."

The doctor nodded slowly. "Sorry. I thought Corker would have told her about that little side effect. Maybe she did, there was a large gap between her last dose and the one recently."

I rubbed my shoulder and scratched my pit. "Yeah.... So, what's up?"

The doctor rolled his eyes. "Super short version?"

I nodded and stayed quiet.

The doctor laughed to himself. "Red is going to be fine, she'll be a complete mare soon, and you should probably pick up condoms."

I scratched my head. "I have some.... It's called pulling out." I laughed softly. "...That's a joke."

The doctor nodded. "Did you have a condom when you met Red?"

I bit my lip. "I'll buy anoth--"

"Yeah, you buy a pack." The doctor laughed and stood up. He rubbed his eyes and yawned. "Have you seen those little hybrids?"

I shrugged. "Probably. I don't see a lot of kids. I'm mostly around adults...work, sports and stuff--"

"You don't do sports." The doctor's voice was flat and joyless.

I frowned and looked down at myself. "Hey man...fuck you--"

"Don't lie to me Jamie. I am a doctor, and you're similar enough to a pony for me to know." The doctor shook his head.

I put my hands up. "Man...whatever. I just--"

Red burst through the door with one of her back legs thrust out at a ninety degree angle. She hobble over to me slowly. Each step was labored and she forced herself to stare down at the floor. "Jamie...I wanna go home."

I sat upright. "Red...what's going on?"

Red hobble up to my leg and pressed her chin against my knee. "Jamie just take me home."

"Ha!" The doctor slammed his hoof into the ground. "Well that's just great!"

Red's face said it all. Her muzzle was scrunched up, her eyes were crossed, and her ears were flattened back. "Jamie--"

"Alright." I stood up and picked her up. I put her over my shoulder and turned to the door. Something was missing against my upper arm. "...Its gone isn't it--

"This is so weird! It feels so weird!" Red clutched against my arm. "Oooooh dear Celestia...it's weird and sweaty! It's sweaty!" She dug her hooves into my shoulder. "Jamie, I need to go shower!"

The doctor laughed softly and opened the door for us. "Might be artificial heat, it'll go away soon." He laughed and fixed his mane. "Body-chemistry chooses the best times, doesn't it?" I stepped out of the lobby and back onto the cold fall street. "Be safe."

I rubbed Red's back and walked towards home. "Red...you--"

"Today has been really, really, really bad! Just-- a whole lot went on just now and I'm not sure how to take it!" She tried to lift her tail. "Aaaahahah-- I need air."

"Not while I'm carrying you." I walked along the batpony filled streets. I took a deep breath and focused on walking. "Just hold on--"

"I'm a virgin." Red stopped wiggling. "I have a virgin pussy." Red went quiet. "I'm extremely unsure how I feel about this...."

I bounced her in my arms. "Get some rest, we'll figure it out soon." I hugged her tight and watched as a few bat stallions turned their heads. I turned to look at a pair that stopped. "Persistence pays off...fucker...." I laughed tiredly and turned back to home.
