"I'm going to miss you guys…" Pinkie's mane hung straight. She was gathered with her doppelganger and Mirror Twilight. "But, maybe we could visit? I would abso-positively-lutely love to see you guys again!" Her mane fluffed up a little in response to the thought.

Mirror Pinkie and Twilight both hugged the mare tightly. "You could always find those nice changelings you talked about? Maybe the one that met up with Twilight's parents?" Mirror Pinkie kissed the pony-world's Pinky's cheek, getting a huge blush out of the unicorn also hugging her.

"Uh, yeah." Mirror Twilight felt it odd to be enthusiastic about that. "Back home… they need Pinkie, and they need somepony… someone, who can study what magic is free there."

Mirror Rarity trotted forward. "Pinkamena Pie, you will come and visit." She gave a little clop of her hoof to punctuate it. "You understand, I would go back but the training Miss Rarity is giving me is… I can't say no to this opportunity."

"Hold on!" The softest shout ever came from a yellow pegasus dashing down the stairs behind them. "I am going back too!"

"Fluttershy? I thought you were staying?" Mirror Rainbow looked at her friend, her closest friend. "I…" She spread and flapped her wings, then looked to Mirror Fluttershy with a heavy heart. "I am going back too, at least until you are settled again." Mirror Dash was suddenly wrapped in yellow wings. "Hey, let's not get sappy!"

Sunset tried to hold back her tears, badly. "It hurts…" Her voice was soft, very soft, but pony ears were sensitive.

Suddenly she had a whole herd of ponies around her, cuddling close. "We will come visit." Mirror Pinkie booped the vampony on the snout. "And you still have Pinkie here, to throw you parties!"

Pinkie Pie's mane inflated to maximum frizz at mention of a party. She stepped up beside Sunset and hugged the bright vampony tightly. "We can be best friends, you will see. Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye!" Sunset wrapped a wing around the pink mare and hugged her back.

"I'll still miss you all, you have to promise me one thing." Sunset looked around to each of the friends that had said they were leaving.

"What's that?" Mirror Twilight got in first.

"That you keep rocking!" Sunset's wings flared up, showing off their size to her friends, who cheered and shouted back at her, their assent.

"Okay, the magic is ready. I am setting up a spell to boost the portal every month. You will need to sort out a schedule to guard your side for that hour." Princess Twilight, her mane flowing in a cosmic wind, lowered her horn and aimed it right at the mirror. The sound of a dull pop echoed in the basement and more hugs were had.

At last, though, Mirror Pinkie stepped up. "I'm going through first, isn't going to be a single problem if I-" An aqua unicorn tumbled through the portal, soon followed by another earth pony with green-gray fur. "Sweetie? Lyra?"

"WE DID IT!" The two strange mares clopped their hooves together and laughed maniacally.

"Finally, we don't have to put up with the odd stares! Twilight?" Sweetie and her marefriend looked directly at Mirror Twilight, who shook her head. Then both turned and looked at a scowling alicorn. "Uh, hi… remember us?"

Twilight stopped and thought for a second. "You can visit for one month." The Princess of Friendship felt what she could only call her "element" tingle in happiness. "Do you agree?"

The two newly-made ponies were busily examining each other and themselves. "This is so awesome, you know I have had a thing for ponies, right?" Lyra looked up at Twilight, who was lifting a hoof to her forehead.

"I said you could stay, please, wait over there." Twilight pointed for Lyra and Sweetie to go and wait with Pinkie Pie. One by one, her friends from another world departed. The portal fizzed and closed. "Okay, you two, we are going to find your Equestrian counterparts and you have to try to convince them to help you."

Gel trotted along the wall, with Applejack at his side. "You said I should try this, so why are you looking so glum?" The very solid-looking changeling—with a ring on his horn—looked to his wife with a little concern.

"Ah thought it would be good fer ya. Sorry Gel, still tryin' ta sort out my own problems." Applejack leaned sideways against the changeling, feeling his solid body against her own. A nibble at her ear got her attention. "Ah liked being all… well, Ah felt more important."

"You have two princesses clamoring for… well, you. And you have us!" Gel gestured with a hoof at his own chest. "But you really want it?"

Applejack's head spun quickly, she stared at Gel with surprise. "You can make me into an alicorn?" She froze in place, unsure if she could really ascribe such a thing to Gel, no matter all the things he had done.

"Well, there are options. Muffins has an amulet-" Gel froze mid sentence when he saw AJ pull the exact amulet out. "That one. That would only make you a unicorn. We could try asking Hope if she can try doing something to get you part changeling… or if you would be content just pretending, Please Do could shed you a layer of Chitin."

The words stacked up against Applejack, she felt they had so much weight and were crashing in from all around. "Ah just don't know…" She was gathered in a hug.

"Well, there is two ponies you could talk to about it, three if you ask Twisty too." Gel squeezed as tight as he could, knowing he couldn't crush Applejack. "So, Muffins first, or Please?"

"Muffins." Applejack tried to squeeze back to match her husband, and mostly succeeded. "Ah get along okay with her, don't rightly know Please all that well."

Gel left one foreleg over his wife's shoulders. "We should keep going then, she will be back at the castle and… we are about half-way around." He looked across town at the much larger looking Castle of Friendship. "I still can't believe the castle spread this much."

"Ah guess with everypony in town there, it just assumes everypony is its friend now." Applejack walked along, looking down from the wall. "Not that this thing really would stop anythin' from getting' in, look at the 'gate'." She pointed with a hoof to the huge open archway, not a single gate hung from it. "And have you noticed how many of the bad things in Equestria fly?"

"I have noticed that." Gel didn't pull his leg back, enjoying the contact with AJ. "What about if you just give that amulet a try? Put it on now, see how it feels."

Applejack froze in place and pulled the little chain back out. "Ah just don't… Ah'm being stupid, aren't I?" She took a deep breath, spread the chain out and lifted it up and over her head.

Gel didn't move his leg, so he felt as the mare at his side lost a little of her bulk, but still certainly was a strong-looking unicorn. He leaned over and kissed her cheek. "Feel any different?"

"Ye're heavier, get off ya big lump." Applejack ducked out from under his foreleg and stretched. "Ah don't feel that different." She rolled her eyes, trying to look up. There it was, she had a horn sticking out of the middle of her forehead. It was bright orange and made her feel… a little more.

"You have lost your earth pony 'ness'," Gel rubbed a hoof up and over Applejack's shoulder and leaned in to nibble at her horn. He got a deep sigh from the unicorn. "But gained a new kind of fun. Would my mare like to return to her castle and be treated by her stallion?"

The words sang in Applejack, it felt entirely like something Rarity would want to hear; but despite her misgivings, it made AJ want to prance. "Ah don't know about that, now." She tilted her head, letting Gel have easier access to her horn. "But Ah think Ah want my husband to buck me silly." She still blushed at such things, she loved that it was the truth, however, it tickled her in a very good way. "Well?"

Gel stood stunned at the invitation. He leaned down and pressed his blue-eyed head forward. "Take the ring off and we can trot back, bucking all the way."

"Not on your life, Gel Pattern. Ah got yer like this, Ah'm gonna buck you like this." Applejack started to do a prance like she remembered seeing Rarity do, lifting her hooves high in a slow trot. Only she also arched her tail up.

His hooves were moving before he realized it, the sight mesmerized Gel in a way he was very okay with. "Applejack… damn I love you." He trotted after his wife like a puppy, a puppy he knew she intended to play with.

He was breathing hard by the time he got back to the castle, yet Applejack seemed none the worse for the prancing pace. "Gel!" Applejack froze in front of the mirror, after leading her husband to their bedroom. "You didn't tell me Ah was… well, that is…" She blushed as she admired the very exotic and leggy unicorn.

"Beautiful?" Gel stepped up on the opposite side, not denying AJ her examination in the mirror. "You already were." He nuzzled her arched neck, his fangs scraping gently along the fur.

"Ah… Ah…" Applejack was a little lost for words. "Say that again." She pulled back from Gel and stared at him a little.

"Applejack, you are and always have been absolutely beautiful." Gel's eyes were locked on AJ's own, making it supremely hard for her to actually tell that he was doing anything but telling the honest truth.

Closing her eyes, Applejack stepped closer, nuzzling the big changeling. "Ah wish Ah could tell when you were lying, better." She kissed Gel, pressing her lips to his.

" 'M not." Gel smooched back and continued the nuzzling down her cheek and shoulder, through the tied-up mane and down Applejack's back. Every few inches he nudged and pushed her, working her closer to the big bed.

"Just like that? Yer gonna bed me looking like this?" Applejack didn't fight his motioning, however, even as she overbalanced and flopped onto the bed.

"You don't want me to have you like this?" Gel kept pushing, working his wife onto her back and positioning her with her plot on the edge of the bed.

Applejack squirmed from side to side. She hadn't noticed it so much when they were in public, but now she had had a chance to look herself over she really was… well, exotically beautiful. "Ah just want my husband." The words lit up all the warm parts of AJ's brain, it sent jolts of happiness that she could just say them; further, looking up at Gel, she saw the effect it had on him.

"I…" Gel was almost completely lost for words. He looked down at the mare before and below him. Leaning down, he pressed his snout above Applejack's tail and began to nuzzle, lick, and rub his fangs around her.

"D-D-Damn you-" Applejack gasped and threw her head back, feeling the focused attention of a pony who knew every last bit of a female pony. He started to lap up and along her lips, each stroke drawing a soft groan from the unicorn. Suddenly his touch was gone and she made a soft wicker and opened her eyes. She was looking into the bright blue eyes of a changeling, climbing over her.

"Main course." Gel leaned in and kissed Applejack as he pushed his hips forward. The thick head of his shaft slipped along the wet vulva and pressed between their bellies. He pulled back for another go.

"Get it in, damn you." Snorting and giggling, Applejack squirmed and jerked her hips as he thrust forward again. She had caught him, she had him right where she wanted him. Gel pushed with just the right angle and drove into AJ, spreading her body around him. "Just… yes…"

His instincts sharp as a razor, Gel jerked forward, bucking deeper into his wife before starting the ancient dance of ponies that love one another.

Rolling her hips with each thrust, Applejack found herself kicking her legs above Gel's back each time he drove his groin against her. With so much stallion inside her the forthright mare was giving hungry little groans and whinnies. When he finally drove in and held, AJ trembled and fell into her own orgasm. The hot rush of seed accompanied lighting strikes of pleasure dancing over her body. She bucked and pushed, shoving her own body against Gel's in an attempt to get more of him.

Gel fell down on Applejack, their bodies pressing tightly together as he flooded her with his love. Staring into the mare's eyes, he ignored everything else about her. "I love you, Applejack, always."
