There was a deep silence around the table. You could've heard an overused expression cry out in protest.

"Nggah!"

Or a shot of dragon jizz splatting against the bottom of the table.

"SPIKE!" Twilight yelled, "Don't do that in public! Why are you still in here!?"

"Haaaaah... Well, you sort of forgot to kick me out." Spike explained, slumping back on his cushion with a happy sigh, "And I couldn't help it; that was hot."

The room could've been mistaken for a tamato plantation at that point, other than the satisfied dragon and the serene storyteller. The reddened faces watched as said storyteller got up, walked around to Spike, and looked down at him, expression never changing.

"Ummm..." Spike muttered nervously, "Sorry Fluttershy? You didn't have to be that detailed..."

She just smiled at him, reached a hoof down... and collected some of his spunk from under the table. Lifting it to her mouth, she never broke eye contact with him as her tongue dipped down and sensually licked it off. Spike stared for a second, and then glanced at his caretaker... yep, that twitching eyebrow was as good as the ticking of a bomb, abandon ship!

"Okaygoingnow,thanksforthestoryFluttershy.I'llbeinmybunk!" A green and purple blur raced out of the room as though his life depended on it. Fluttershy strutted back over to her seat, sat back down, and cleaned her hoof of the rest... by scraping it off into her teacup, tea and semen having come from the same source. She took a drink and mumbled happily at the taste, eyes traveling over the cup to meet those of her friends. Except Rarity. She set her cup down and cleared her throat.

"If Rarity can stop drooling over Spike's Double Dragons..." Fluttershy started, making the fashionista snap her head around as though burned, then wither under Twilight's glare for a moment before waving at Fluttershy for a distrac- the rest of the story.

"Anyway. There's not much else to tell. While I was growing, I dreamed things. Memories, I think. I can't recall all of them, but I know a few things about what happened to me. I've only had a few minutes to myself since I woke up, so I haven't been able to organize it really. And most of my attention has been taken up by bending Dash over and licking her asshole almost to orgasm and teasing Rarity, plus making you all squirm in your seats trying to do the same thing as Spike did without letting each-other know." Only during Discord's rampage had such a wolfish grin graced Fluttershy's face. Dash squeaked and tried to hide under the table, only to run into more than one hindleg kicking her away from damp nethers until she gave up and hid her head under her cushion instead.

"WELL!" Twilight finally shouted after almost a full minute of awkward silence, "Maybe if we ask you some questions it'll jog your memory a bit!?"

There were murmurs of agreement as all the mares carefully didn't look at one another while they tried to stop ruining Twilight's cushions.* The awkward silence continued for another minute, finally resulting in a number of unspoken conversations mostly consisting of attempted telepathy amounting to the words: "You ask something first!"

"Why are you acting so different? Are you really Fluttershy?" Rarity finally managed to put her greatest concern forward.

"Hm. Am I? I think I am, but it wouldn't be too farfetched to say Fluttershy is gone and I'm someone else. But I think I'm Fluttershy. It's just..." Fluttershy squinted, her eyes flicking back and forth, "I think it's this body. It's so full of powerful hormones, so sensitive and constantly aroused. It's just what came out, and I think... I think it was intentional." The others looked on curiously, Dash peeking out of her cushion in concern for her friend.

"Whose intent? And why?" Twilight asked firmly, seeking the identity and motive of whoever it was that had sent the timberwolves to do this to her friend... however much said friend didn't seem to mind.

"I'm not sure who. I have a vague image of an enormous tree, but it's even more indistinct than the other bits." Fluttershy says, sighing, "I feel like I should know them... her. Like I should love her like a mother."

"Why would a motherly figure change your body to make you aggressively aroused?" Twilight asked.

"My body?" Fluttershy looked up and blinked.

"Yeah, that thing sittin' at that table there." Applejack managed to add.

"Oh, um, hahahaha!" Fluttershy giggled demurely, causing a wave of confused expressions to make its way around the table. Except the until-now quiet Pinkie, who giggled with her. Because Pinkie. "You thought... oh my~" Fluttershy's giggles trailed off only slowly, the looks of confusion turning somewhat frustrated, Dash even re-taking her seat (and ignoring AJ's raised eyebrow and smirk.)

"But Applejack, my body isn't sitting at the table." Fluttershy finally clarified, still smiling and amused.

"Oooh, are you a ghost?" Pinkie asked, seeming to have finally recovered from the innuendo in the room.. and attempting to pass a hoof through Fluttershy's shoulder, which failed.

"No, Pinkie." Fluttershy answered, somewhat slyly.

"A spirit? A projection? An illusion?" Three more pokes, the first two making Fluttershy giggle, but the last drawing a moan, turning Pinkie back to a blushing statue.

"Sorry Pinkie, none of those. And don't touch me unless you mean it~" Fluttershy told her, "I might just take it as an invitation." Fluttershy licked her lips at the party pony, "You have no idea how many erogenous zones this body has, or where."

"So, if you ain't here, where are ya, and what're we looking at?" AJ finally asked, breaking the stare off between the embarrassed Pinkie and lusty Fluttershy.

"I'm still in my yard." Fluttershy replied, turning her gaze to Applejack's, "I can feel the cool breeze through my branches, the warm sun on my leaves. It's really lovely, almost just like I always imagined it." Fluttershy cooed to herself.

"Your body is still in the tree?" Rarity managed to ask, "That's why you said you might be considered..." she trailed off.

"It'd be more accurate to say I am the tree. As long as the tree lives, so will I. And I think... that might be a very very long time." Fluttershy stared straight into Twilight's eyes as she said this, a silent message passing to the alicorn with Fluttershy's gentle smile. At that moment, Twilight knew in her heart that this wasn't a phantom, or a puppet, or a trick. It was her friend.

"But then what is this?" Dash gestured to the Fluttershy sitting at the table.

"This is a... a sort of puppet. I can make more, as many as I have the magical energy to sustain. I don't think I can control more than one at a time, but putting one to sleep while controlling another shouldn't be too difficult. It's all plant matter, so I think it's a little less durable than a normal pony, but other than the pain and a nasty shock, I don't think anything will happen to me if one of them 'dies' even if it's blown into a million pieces." Fluttershy explained. Everypony grimaced at the grim explanation.

"So, um... you didn't answer my question. Why would... whatever intended this to happen decide to make you all randy?" Twilight said.

"Oh, right! Well, from what I remember, all the dryads died-"

"Dryads?" Twilight asked, "You're a dryad?"

"Yes. Something happened and they all passed away. The last one, I think, did something to their servants and guardians, to carry on their race somehow." Fluttershy sipped her salty tea, "Thus, me. And now, this body is making me want to make more dryads. I hope you'll all consider joining me." Fluttershy smiled predatorily, sliding back from the table and letting a smooth, pointed wooden shaft oozing green out from under the table.

The other mares stared, breathless, at it, and began rubbing against their silk cushions again, helplessly aroused at the mere sight of it. With another smile, Fluttershy put it back under the table and continued sipping her tea calmly.

"Fuck it." Dash declared, rubbing herself furiously against the cushion, letting out a loud moan, and then a stuttering gasp, hips jerking wildly only after a few thrusts and then slowing as she brought herself down. As she reopened her eyes, Fluttershy's gaze met hers, and Dash whimpered, beginning to grind again, only more slowly. Fluttershy smiled a little more, and looked around the table at the others, inviting them to do the same. None took her up on it, gulping nervously but holding to their resistance.

"But not right now. The seeds put off amazing amounts of aphrodisiac, and you're all horny enough all I'd have to do is stand in the middle of the room and you'd be fighting over who I got to mount it first. If I stay in her much longer, you might start doing it anyway. After you've had a few hours to get it out of your system, you can decide for real with a clear head. And then I'll mount you. Knot you. Make you like me. If I'm remembering right though, it may not just be this body. I think dryads are very... sexual creatures. Twilight, when you can think to come up with more questions, come to my cottage to ask; my timberwolves will let ponies through now as long as they don't have an axe or fire. Rainbow Dash, my oldest friend..." Fluttershy winked at her, "If you still want to when you're done masturbating, you're first in line."

With another wolfish grin to the room, Fluttershy strutted out.

"CUPCAKES!" Pinkie was the first to break the quiet... and everypony's thoughts of following Fluttershy or beginning an orgy. A pink blur streaked out of the room.

"I got some work on the farm to do!" Applejack followed at a quick but less-blurry pace.

"I do believe I have a dress order to fill!" Rarity excused herself.

Twilight and Rainbow Dash stared at each-other.

"I'm gonna go clop myself raw." Rainbow Dash finally announced.

"Me too." Twilight admitted.

"Can I keep this cushion? I kinda like it." Dash asked.

"You already ruined it, so... yeah, go ahead." Twilight allowed.

"Sweet!" Dash took the window out.

Twilight just sat there for a minute, then got up, carrying her thousand yard stare to the door, opening it to-

Twilight slammed the door immediately, pressing her back against it to hold it shut, telling herself she hadn't just seen an orgy through the door and that couldn't possibly have been Celestia in the middle of it. Her mane was all wrong anyway. She cautiously pressed an ear against the door... nothing. Carefully, she opened it to find... her hallway. With a sigh, she trotted toward her room. Quickly, so as not to follow Spike and Dash's examples of clopping in the semi-public areas. While pondering if she should have all of the castle's doors removed. She was going to need the Princess Pleaser tonight.

~~ The Next Day, in the early afternoon ~~

"Um, Twilight? Why are you wearing a gas mask?"

Twilight blinked, turning to see... Fluttershy. Not the sexy vixen from before, but the shy pegasus she hadn't seen in over a week. Twilight hugged her, just on reflex, and she returned it. Normally. No wandering hooves. Not that Twilight was wanting any, of course. Ahem.

"I'd like to take a few samples, if that's alright with you, and I didn't want to catch any, well... you said Rainbow was going first, and I'd like to study the effects up close, if that's alright, before I decide whether to agree or not." Twilight explained, "But that might not even be a problem. A new you?"

"I was just a little too horny to concentrate in the other body. It's using my bed right now, so you can take the mask off. Um, if you want." Fluttershy replied.

"You seem a bit more normal overall. No offense." Twilight cast a spell, reading the air. She moved her horn about a bit, and frowned, "It seems your tree is putting off a little on its own. But not enough to have any real effect." Twilight popped a strap loose, levitating the mask to her saddlebag and taking a breath of fresh air.

"That's probably just the dust off the fruit." Fluttershy explained.

"The fruit? It has aphrodisiac too?"

"Yes. I think all dryad's production... fruit, flowers, nuts... all have strong aphrodisiacs in them. But every dryad's fruit is different. They produce different magical effects, I think." Fluttershy blushed, "I think from my reaction to Rainbow yesterday, mine might have something to do with, um... butts."

"Peaches... yeah, that sounds kinda right. Do you mind if I take one? And maybe a small branch with some leaves on it? A root sample? I don't think I'll take a core sample, that's a bit too dangerous." Twilight asked, eyeing the timberwolves as warily as they eyed her, approaching the tree... Fluttershy... proper.

"Applejack would know more about what's safe than I would." Fluttershy mumbled.

"Hehehe, Applejack might end up our go-to doctor if we do this." Twilight mused, looking about for a branch. Finding one, she quickly flapped her way up to it, pulling a small saw out of her bags and setting it to the limb. It only took one draw to separate it, and Twilight stowed it in her bag, glancing down at Fluttershy and finally noticing her wincing like she'd been struck by a sudden migrane.

"Oh my goodness, Fluttershy! Did that hurt? I'm sorry!" Twilight came down, looming over her friend in concern.

"It's fine, it just, hss! Stings a little." Fluttershy put a wing over her head, trying to calm the pain.

"Here, maybe this will help." Twilight flew back up, withdrawing a spray can from her saddlebag and liberally applying it to the area where she'd removed the branch before looking back down at Fluttershy.

"That... that feels much better! What is that, Twilight?"

"It's a type of plant sealant. They use it when they're taking samples of trees to ensure the barkless spot doesn't get infected or infested with bugs. I guess it's a pain reliever too, who knew!" Twilight cheered, "Is the pain all gone, Fluttershy?"

"Yes, I'm just fine." Fluttershy answered, "Taking the fruit should be fine as long as its ripe."

"Got it." Twilight flew up to the fruit-bearing branches, carefully setting down right in front of a ripe peach, "You know, these look delicious. I think they're a little fuzzier than a normal peach though." Twilight reached up, rubbing a hoof over its surface. A sharp hiss from the ground drew her attention, and she looked back down to see Fluttershy wincing again.

"Oh no! I'm so sorry! You said it wouldn't hurt so I just thought..."

"Oh that's not pain." Fluttershy mumbled, regaining her composure besides a rosy blush. Twilight blinked. Lifted a hoof. Slid it over the peach's skin again. Fluttershy bit her lip, panting, hips squirming against the ground. And a sly smirk spread across Twilight's muzzle. This time a feather ran teasingly through the peach's fuzz, sending Fluttershy to her foreknees, rump raised and tail thrust aside for a stallion that wasn't there. Biting her lip and leaking her juices onto the branch she was sitting on, Twilight did it again... only this time, Fluttershy lifted her eyes to meet Twilight's locking her in a full-fledged Stare even while her hips thrust and jiggled, begging for attention.

"I've just remembered something else Twilight. Touching a dryad's fruit... or eating it... without pulling it off first is terribly arousing, but never satisfying. Touch that peach one more time other than to pull it off, and I will jump to the other body and pin you to the ground and pound you until you've got leaves coming out of your ears, do you understand!?"

Twilight gulped, firming her leading primary flight feather into a sharp edge and quickly slicing the stem, dropping the fruit into her outstretched hoof and watching for any sign of the Fluttershy below her switching off. After a second, Fluttershy regained her wits and stood up, though her tail was still raised in arousal. Twilight quickly dropped off the tree, strapping her mask on as she went... just in case.

"Sorry Fluttershy. I think your fruit were affecting me more than I thought." Twilight apologized.

"It's fine. But you really don't know how it feels to be a dryad. Do. Not. Tease. Me. Unless. You. Mean. It. Okay?" Fluttershy asked.

"Of course Fluttershy. I shouldn't have done it in the first place. If I decide to join you, I'll come back and tease you when I do mean it, okay?" Twilight smiled at her, but only received a growl in response, "Oh, right, that was teasing too, sorry, hehe... Well... I should be off. Back to the castle to analyze these."

"I'll see you later, Twilight. Just don't-"

"FLUTTERSHY!" A voice wailed pitifully as its owner sailed gingerly down out of the sky, stumbling to a stop on the ground.

Rainbow Dash was a complete mess. Coat matted, mane even wilder than usual, patches of poorly dried hair everywhere. And, of course, the insides of her hindlegs and most of her tail was completely soaked with the pegasus' unique aromatic discharge, speaking of a long night of clopping herself probably very raw indeed. Her whole body trembled, but none more than her feathers and hindlegs, and her eyes were wild with lust.

"I know you said to get un-horny and think about it, but I can't! Every time I think about it I get horny again and the I clop and I finish and then I try to think about it and get horny again! Please please please please~!"

"Just do me!"**
