My parents stared at me, I couldn’t tell what they were thinking. There was a very long moment of silence between us, my Mom was the one who finally broke the silence.

“Dusk...” She said in a stern tone, “Would you like to explain...this?” Mom made a gesture which pointed out my appearance.

“...” I said nothing, I was at a loss of what to say,

“Answer your mother Dusk.” Dad demanded, “We both want answers, and we both want to know why you were at the hospital yesterday with that stallion.”

“Y-you saw me with Mac?” I exclaimed, Dad nodded his head.

“I wasn’t the only one Dusk.” Dad explained, “A good portion of the ponies we know are talking about it.”

“...” I took a seat on my bed, trying to think of what to say. Mom and Dad had quick glance around my bedroom, everything they saw there basically screamed it belonged to a mare.

“Well mister?” Mom urged getting impatient.

“I was there with my coltfriend to see the doctor...” I finally answered, “There was an accident a few weeks ago, I was seeing the doctor to confirm what I was afraid of...”

“Bullshit!” My father exclaimed, “If there was an accident why didn’t we find out about it from the princess! Or better yet why didn’t you tell us! If I didn’t know better I would swear you were transitioning!”

“Night Light that’s enough!” Mom shouted, “Did ever occur to you that Dusk didn’t know how to tell us!” Dad stepped back in shock, I saw him flinch because of how loud my Mom yelled, “Still though it doesn’t explain to why your dressed like that. Is that padding?”

“...” Again I was a loss for words.

“Fine...” Mom sighed, “Honey would you mind giving me and Dusk some privacy please.”

“Alright but I want to know what happened after alright?” Dad went down stairs as Mom shut the door behind him.

“Right Dusk please...I’m your mother you can be honest with me.” Mom reassured me. “I’m just trying to understand what’s going on...”

“...” I removed my top, leaving me exposed to my mother. The only thing covering my breasts were a black strapless bra. Mom just gasped in shock as she took in this new bit of information.

“W-was this why?” I nodded not saying a word, “your hips...and face, I could have sworn you were a mare if I didn’t raise you.”

“I was working on a spell in my lab, but I missed a crucial moment in timing and the whole thing blew up in my face. What you’re looking at know is one of the side effects from the explosion.” I explained, Mom just stared at me unsure of what to say.

“What’s the other side effects?” Mom finally asked.

“...”I took a deep breath, “I change Mom...and in a way I’m ashamed to admit.” I paused, Mom was waiting for me to continue, “I turn into a mare Mom, and the change...I can’t control when it happens, but when it does...I...I-I love every second of it, and I start going crazy if I don’t change after so long.”

“...” Mom didn’t know what to say to what I have told her, “This is permanent isn’t it?” I looked my Mom in the eyes and nodded slowly.

“...” The room what quiet again.

“And what about you and this Mac? Does he know?” Mom asked,

“He does...he was sort of the first pony to find out.” I answered, “As for how we got together...I sort of changed in front of him, and we ended up having sex. I figured it would have been just the one time, but...”

“You went back to him didn’t you?” Mom inquired.

“He was so kind to me, and he didn’t freak out about my gender changing.” I explained, “Heck I didn’t even know I changed at the time.” I paused, “One time became two...then three...”

“You’ve fallen hard haven’t you?” Mom answered for me with knowing look, “He makes you happy, and you eventually got the courage to ask him out am I right?” I nodded, I wondered how she knew what i was going to say.

“Y-you’re right Mom...” I blushed.

“How do you think I met your father.” Mom gave me a reassuring smile, before letting out a small chuckle, “Well I did tell your father I wanted a daughter, I guess I got what I wanted in the end.”

“M-mom!” I exclaimed embarrassed.

“Who else knows about this?” Mom asked.

“The princesses, a few of my friends...Shining...” Mom looked furious, but I could tell it wasn’t directed at me.

“The princesses and your brother knew!” Mom roared, “And they never bothered to tell us! Oh for goodness sake! This is important, how could they not have told us?”

“H-huh what’s with all the shouting?” Dad rushed back into the room, I covered chest and let out a frightened squeak.

“D-dad get out!” I screamed. Dad gave me a funny look, and Mom gave him a look that basically told him to leave. Dad just stepped out of the room and shut the door behind him.

“So, when do I get to meet this stallion of yours?” Mom finally spoke up, “And here I was so sure you’d end up taking a page out of your brother’s book.”

“M-Mom!!” I blushed became an even deeper shade of red.

“Sis what were sounds Ah heard by the barn earlier?” AJ froze in place, and just stared at her younger sister, “It sounded like a whole lotta groanin’ and words yer told me to never say.”

“Ah haven’t heard anythin’ like that Applebloom.” AJ lied, not wanting to explain what they were to younger sister.

“Do yer think we’ve got some apple thieves sneakin’ around?” Applebloom asked, “Should Ah keep an extra look out?”

“Nah don’t ya’ll worry yerself about it, Ah’ll ask RD to help me keep a look out.” AJ mentally let out a sigh of relief, her younger sister seemed satisfied with her answer and left.

“Gosh darn it RD...” AJ sighed.

“You called AJ?” Rainbow spoke up, sitting lazily on a tree branch out side the window, “Don’tcha worry I’ll keep an eye out for any...apple thieves.” Rainbow let out a cocky chuckle.

“Jeez RD yer nearly gave me a heart attack.” AJ regained her composure.

“I take it you haven’t told anypony else about us have you...” Rainbow asked, suddenly sounding serious.

“How could Ah?” AJ argued, “How do yer think Ah’m gonna explain this to Applebloom and Granny?”

“So I’m your dirty little secret...neat.” Rainbow looked off into the distance, “What’s so different about us that Dusk and Mac can get away with it, that we can’t?”

“RD...” AJ tried to speak but the words seemed to fail her.

“We’ve been doing this in secret for nearly a year...” Rainbow continued, “And here I figured you wanted to do something special...but I guess not.” Without another word Rainbow flew off.

“Darn it RD...come back...please...”

“Mac where yer goin’?” Applebloom asked.

“Ah’m goin’ to run an errand Applebloom.” Mac answered, “Ah should be back from the library in an hour or two. Stay outta trouble yer hear?”

“’kay.” Applebloom gave her a mock salute, and Mac chuckled as he walked out the door. Applebloom couldn’t say why but she was certain there was something going on that Mac and AJ weren’t telling her. She gave a look of determination and swore to herself she would find out one way or another.

“So let me get this straight, all this is a side effect of a spell gone horribly wrong?” Dad asked, Mom, Spike and I nodded in confirmation, “And now you are perfectly content on dressing and living as a mare?” Again I nodded.

There was a moment of silence, before Dad finally erupted.

“ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE!!” He roared in fury, “YOU’VE JUST TOLD ME YOU COULD GO BACK TO BEING A STALLION FULLY!!”

“And how can I?” I argued, “Even if I did that Dad I would just change back! It’s a waste of time and energy to even try!”

“Dusk you just don’t get it!” Dad argued back, “You. Are. A. Stallion!” It was that one line that had finally killed all the noise in the room.

“No...you don’t get it...” I tried my best to keep from shaking, my fists clenched as I hard as I could, “I’m happy being a mare...I love being a mare...I am a mare Dad! I. Am. Happy...and you want me to throw that away?”

“Oh for...What about your masculine pride Dusk?” Dad continued, I glared at him.

“And what logical use would I have for that?” I countered, “Everypony who constantly screams about their masculine pride is just a scared little child! If given the opportunity it would be the first thing I would throw away!”

“Y-you can’t be serious!” Dad exclaimed, “Y-you’re far too young to...”

“To what Dad?” I asked furious, “Make my own mistakes and live with them? I may be one or the other dad, but in the end I am both and I refuse to cast aside a single part of me for the sake of pride!”

We were interrupted by a knock at the door, I went to open it and relieved it was Mac.

“Um Ah wasn’t interrupting somethin’ was Ah?” Mac asked sheepishly, I told him no and gave him a kiss on the lips.

“Mom...Dad this is my coltfriend Macintosh.”

Author's Note

Well this is quickly turning into the longest arc of the story. Y'know I've read of lot of stories of this sort of the crossdressing/Gender bending genre and not once have I seen a little story arc that addresses the issue regarding the parents finding out and the aftermath.
