Fantasy in the Pale Moonlight
“Explain to me again why we’re doing again, Luna,” an alabaster skinned woman said, clutching her gold colored jacket tightly. Her multi bright colored hair blowing in the wind as she walked in the woods.
“Tia, I told you about the rumors that were spreading about this place,” a blue haired woman said, as she used her flashlight to see the path ahead of them. “How some of our students come up here for some ‘fantasy’ or something.”
Tia, or rather Celestia, sighed and said, “Yes, I’ve heard those rumors, but need I remind you that that’s all they are? Rumors.” Seeing her sister’s look, she continued saying, “But we’ll check this place out for a bit, then we leave.”
Luna just said, “We’ll leave after we search the place for our students.”
Celestia sighed at her sister’s stubbornness as she thought, Why can’t she just relax for once? “Do you even know where this place even is?” Celestia asked, as they walked through a couple of bushes. The path they were walking on was almost manmade.
“The only thing that I heard is that it’s some abandoned house,” Luna said, moving a tree branch out of the way.
Celestia followed her younger sister and said, “But the only place out here is the-”
She saw an old mansion with an overgrown yard and the paint peeling off the walls. The old but expensive looking sports car in the drive had seen better days, as it had rust covering it.
“...The Lightley Mansion.”
“I remember that we came here a few times when we were younger. To think that the kids are coming here for who knows what,” Luna said, making her way to the front door.
“Luna, we need to be careful when we’re in there,” Celestia said, following Luna towards the door.
“I will,” Luna said, jiggling the doorknob as she tried opening the door. The door gave a slight creak as it opened, allowing them entrance. Walking inside, they saw the main entrance was a large foyer but saw no signs of life.
“We should start looking around,” Luna said, as she walked to the door on the right and opened it.
“We really… um... why do I bother?” Celestia said, looking at the desk to the right. Reaching her hand into her pocket, she pulled out a small pocket flashlight and turned it on. Looking past the desk, Celestia saw that there were a bunch of racks with coat hangers on them.
“Tia, did you find anything?” Luna asked, from the other room.
“All I looked at was the coat check room,” Celestia said, not wanting to be there. “Did you find anything?”
“Just the library, and it’s in disarray.”
Walking to the room Luna went into, Celestia saw what she meant by disarray. The library was coated in dust and cobwebs, while half the books littered the floor.
“You weren’t kidding, Luna,” Celestia said, looking at the destroyed library. “Why don’t we look somewhere else? It doesn’t look like anyone's in the front here.”
“We should check upstairs next, and then, we’ll leave,” Luna said, a bit tiredly.
Walking up the stairs, the two sisters heard a loud thud.
“Do you think someone’s here?” Celestia asked her younger sister, as the reached the top of the stairs.
“We’ll find out it a moment,” Luna said, but stopped suddenly. “I think I hear something.”
“Should be a little more careful.”
“Sorry, I’ll try better next time.”
“I think we found someone,” Luna whispered, while slowly walking towards the voices. Celestia silently followed, wondering who could the voices be.
“It’s all right. Your company is appreciated though.”
“Does… Does this mean we’re friends?”
The two sisters felt that the second voice was familiar to them, as they continued walking.
“Yes, I believe we are friends.”
“For realsies?”
“Ok, now I know that I’ve heard that voice before,” Celestia said, walking by a large window.
“Yes, Sonata. We are friends, for realsies.”
Celestia and Luna’s eyes widened at the mention of the siren’s name. After the Battle of the Bands, the sirens seemed to fall off the face of the earth. Guess one of them is living here.
The sisters saw a doorway which lead to some kind of laboratory, with two people inside. The first girl, whom they were familiar with, was a blue skinned and dark blue haired girl. She was wearing a jagged edged skirt with teal and blue flames on it with a black sleeveless top. She was also sporting a shiny pink belt and fingerless gloves.
The other girl was a young foreign woman with long black hair who was wearing a simple white button up shirt and knee length black skirt. And the siren was hugging the foreign girl.
“Sonata Dusk?” the sisters said at the same time.
Said girl looked up and saw the two principals in front of them. She waved to them and said, “Hi, Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna. How’ve you been?”
The mystery girl looked at them and said, “Oh, you know them, Sonata?”
“I was a student for a little while at their school.”
“Oh, well, it’s nice to meet you. I am Fanta,” the mystery girl, Fanta, greeted them. The principals were a bit cautious of this new girl. Being around one of the sirens wasn’t exactly a good thing.
“What’re the both of you doing here?” Luna asked, wanting to know why one of the school’s troublemakers was doing here.
As Fanta was opening her mouth, Sonata butted in saying, “Oh, I work for Ms. Fanta now. After the Battle of the Bands, me and the others needed to find jobs to pay for our home, what with our gems destroyed and all.”
Celestia was confused. This girl, who looked about eighteen, gave Sonata a job. What kind of job could that be?
“What kind of job could Ms. Fanta give you? In fact, what does the job entail?” Luna asked, wondering if it was legal or not.
Fanta simply said, “We give customers their desired fantasy to life.”
Celestia and Luna didn’t like the sound of that. Celestia fearfully said, “How do you bring their fantasies to life? Please don’t tell me it’s something illegal.”
Fanta walks towards them and said, “Oh, it’s nothing like that. I can assure you that.”
“Then, how?” Luna growled wanting to get to the bottom of this.
Fanta stops in front of them and said, “I’ll can show you, but you need to look into my eyes.”
Celestia was wary of the girl and said, “We don’t need to know, Fanta.”
The girl just looked at them and said, “Oh, but I insist, just look into my eyes.” And once that was said, Fantas eyes gained black and silver spirals. “Just look into my eyes and let the spirals relax you.”
Luna and Celestia eyes were locked with Fanta’s as they thought, What’s she doing? Why can’t I look away from her eyes?
“Look into my eyes. Watch as the spirals move and feel relaxed.”
Celestia thought, What’s going on? I can’t stop looking at her eyes.
Luna thought, I need to fight this. I can’t let someone else control me again.
“Keep your eyes on the spirals as they relax you. Watch the spirals spin around and around and around as your mind slows.”
This might not be so bad, Celestia thought, No! I need to focus on the spiral... I mean fight this.
The spiral isn’t so bad. Maybe I should listen to Ms. Fanta, Luna thought.
“You feel your body beginning to relax. Feel all your frustrations and tensions just wash away as the spirals relax you even more.”
Yes. Watch the spiral and relax, the sisters thought.
“You’re doing good. You feel yourself grow tired, sleepy even as your whole body feels relaxed.”
So tired.. So sleepy, they thought, as their eyelids got a little heavier.
“Every time you relax, you feel yourself doze off just a bit more. When I count to three, you can sleep.”
Count to three, sleep, they thought drowsily.
“One, feeling your eyelids grow heavy. Two, eyes almost closed. And three, sleep.” The two principals closed their eyes as their heads leaned forward, dropping a bit. “Now, you are hypnotized and will only obey me, Ms. Fanta.”
“I will obey Ms. Fanta,” they said in a monotone.
“Now then, I will need to know your names.”
“Celestia.”
“Luna.”
Fanta looked pleased as she said, “Wonderful. Now, Celestia and Luna, the two of you will need a medical exam, so Sonata and I will be conducting it.”
“Yes, Ms.Fanta.”
“We’ll need you to strip down to your underwear and lie on the examination table. Sonata and I will be conducting your exam so listen to the both of us.”
“Yes, Ms. Fanta.” With that said, the two principals began to remove their jackets, shirts and pants till they were clad in nothing but blue and gold bras and panties. The both of them got onto an examination table and laid down.
“Sonata, I will need some help with the exam. Could you take Luna while I take Celestia?” Fanta asked, knowing that Sonata would agree.
“Sure. I always wanted to be a doctor.”
Sonata looked at the small table of various medical tools. Picking up the otoscope and said, “Open your eyes, Luna.” Her eyes opened, revealing black and silver spirals in her eyes as Sonata said, “This is what Sunset saw, huh?”
Brushing her hair aside, Sonata examined Luna’s ears and then brought the otoscope near her mouth and said, “Open wide and say ‘AAAHHH’.” Luna did it without hesitation, showing Sonata the inside of her mouth.
“Everything looks good here.”
At the other table, Fanta started to check Celestia’s blood pressure with the cuff. Sliding it up her arm, she inflated in a few times before saying, “It seems good for your age.” Fanta then took off the cuff, and grabbed the stethoscope. “Now, I need you to take deep breaths as I check you lungs and heart,” Fanta said, as she placed the stethoscope on her chest. Celestia started to breathe in and out as Fanta moved the scope over her heart and both of her lungs. “You don’t need to take deep breaths anymore.”
“For the next part, I’m gonna need you to sit up with your legs hanging on the side,” Sonata said, as Luna slowly got up.
“Yes, Sonata,” Luna said, getting into position. Sonata had the little rubber hammer in her hand as she said, “Now, it’s time to test your reflexes.” She hit each of the legs, which moved after a delay due to the hypnosis, she then told Fanta the results.
“It seems that the both of you are in perfect health,” Fanta said, “Now, I believe it’s time for your fantasies. Celestia what is your-,” a crash was heard downstairs.
Fanta was confused as it sounded like something fell in the kitchen. Looking at the two sisters, she asked, “Did anyone else come with you?”
“No, Ms. Fanta. My sister and I came by ourselves,” Celestia and Luna said in monotone.
“Then, we have someone else in the mansion,” Fanta said, “Now Celestia, you’ll…”
Earlier
In one of the rooms on the second floor, a window was slowly beginning to open as a hand grabbed the windowsill. Soon, another hand was on the windowsill when a body was lifted through the window and fell on the floor.
“Ow. Glad no one saw that,” a tomboyish raspy voice said, as she got up and dusted herself off. Looking around, the girl said, “Man, this place has seen better days.”
Her phone began to vibrate as she picked it up and answer, “I’m in.”
A female voice, on the other line, said, “Okay. Now, just stay there for the night, and I’ll keep my end of the deal.”
“Yeah. You’ll give me any cake or sweet that I ask for, right Pinkie?”
“Yes, but if you leave before the morning, then you have to eat cupcakes for every meal, Dashie.”
Rainbow Dash giggled as she said, “You better be ready to make me my favorite double chocolate cake, Pinkie. Cause I’m winning this bet.” She ended the call as she made her way to the doorway. “Might as well look around this place,” she said, walking towards the stairs and passing rooms similar to what she was just in.
Seeing that it was getting darker the farther she got from the room, Rainbow tapped a few buttons on her phone and turned the flashlight on. With the flashlight on, she could see the stairs that led to the main floor. Walking down the stairs, she saw the entrance of the mansion.
“At least I know where I am,” Dash said, as she looked behind her. “But where does that hallway go? Might as well take a look,” she said, walking towards the dark hallway. Making her way down the hall, she saw a door on the right and opened it.
Rainbow saw that the room was the kitchen area. “Wow, Pinkie would have a heart attack if she saw this,” she said, looking around the room. Rainbow saw that cobwebs littered around everything from the stoves to the cabinets. Shining the light, she saw that pots and pans had spilled out of the cupboards and onto the floor.
“Maybe I should get a picture of this. It'll definitely mess with Pinkie, that's for sure,” Rainbow said, as she walked to the door and opened it. She saw a dark figure and yelled, “Wwwwaasaaaaaa!!!”
Rainbow fell backwards as the person lighted an old lantern up to her face, showing her a multi color hair style and familiar face.
“Principal Celestia?!!” Rainbow yelled, as she tried standing up. It was her high school principal, but instead of her normal pants and shirt, she was wearing a strange looking creamy white dress with sun and floral designs.
“We aren't in school, Rainbow Dash. And welcome to the Lightley Mansion,” Celestia said, while giggling lightly. She then beckoned Rainbow with her finger and said, “Please follow me.”
“Wait!I'm here for a dare. Please don't give me detention,” Rainbow said, trying to reason with her.
“As I said, we're not in school at the moment. So, it's impossible to get detention now,” Celestia said, walking through the door across the hall.
As Rainbow walked through the door, she saw that there was a dimly lit stage and a bunch of tables. She followed Celestia to the table, sat down, and noticed that someone else was sitting at the table.
Rainbow saw it was a woman with long black hair and wore a simple red dress, who turned to her and said, “Greetings, my name is Fanta Lightley, and I’m the owner of this mansion.”
“Wait, I thought that this place was abandoned,” Rainbow said, confused and worried that she was in trouble. She didn’t need this woman calling her parents.
The woman waved her hand and said, “Please don’t worry about that. In fact, I need some help with a project of mine. Would you be kind enough to help me?”
Rainbow looked a bit relieved as she asked, “I don’t mind, but what do you need?” The woman was nice, but she wasn’t gonna stay if this project was strange or weird.
“All I need is a second opinion on a simple show. I’m thinking of opening a theatre of sorts here,” Fanta said, giving her a gentle smile.
Rainbow looked at Fanta for a bit, waiting for more of an explanation. Getting nothing more, she figured that if Fanta wasn’t gonna hold her breaking in against her, then she could go along with this. “I guess I could do it.”
“Excellent, and not a moment too soon. The show’s starting,” Fanta said, pointing at the stage.
The curtain began to open slowly as a young voice said, “Welcome, one and all, to the midnight show with the Hypnotic Nightingale, Luna.” The curtain fully opened, revealing Luna wearing a dark blue corset teddy, blue fishnet stockings,blue heels and bunny ears.
Rainbow’s eyes widened at the fact that not only was her vice principal on stage, but she was wearing a costume that many girls would normally rather be caught dead in. “What’s going on?” she asked Fanta, “And why’re the principals here?”
“Their family were friends with mine, and it was a bit of a fantasy of theirs,” Fanta said, smiling as if it was a joke.
“For this show, I’m gonna need a volunteer,” Luna said, looking at the room as if there was a crowd.
Rainbow didn’t do anything but look at both Fanta and Celestia, as they looked back at her. “Okay, I’ll volunteer,” she said raising her hand high.
“Looks like we have a volunteer. Please, come up to the stage,” Luna said, beckoning Rainbow with her index finger.
Rainbow muttered, “Can’t believe I'm doing this,” as she stood up and walked to the stage. Walking up the stairs, Rainbow asked, “What do you need me to do?”
Luna turned towards Rainbow and said, “You just volunteered to be hypnotized by me.”
Rainbow looked at Luna’s smiling face and thought she saw some kind of black mark in her eyes. Thinking it was a trick of the light, she said, “Hypnosis? Yeah. Right.”
“If you don't think hypnosis is real, then you won't mind proving it by watching my watch,” Luna said, lifting a silver watch with her right hand.
Looking at the watch, Rainbow sighed and said, ”Let's get this over with.”
Luna began to lightly swing the watch as she said, “All you need to do is watch the watch and listen to my voice.”
Watching the silver instrument, Rainbow thought, I'm watching this stupid thing already...
“Just pay attention to the watch and my voice as you start to feel yourself relax.”
At least, this is easy to do, Rainbow thought, as she felt her annoyance fade a bit.
“With each swing, you feel yourself relax the more you watch the watch. The more you listen to my voice, the more you'll feel at ease.”
This is pretty relaxing, Rainbow thought, as her mind focused on the watch.
“You feel yourself fall as you gaze at the watch, and as you fall deeper, you feel the tension leave your body.”
She’s right. I feel so relaxed, Rainbow thought, as she moved her head to the swings.
“You feel so relaxed that you start to feel sleepy. The ticking of the watch is soothing as you relax.”
So-o sleepy, Rainbow thought, as she tried to stay awake and watch the watch.
“You feel so sleepy you could fall asleep at any moment, but you can’t sleep till I count to three. One, feeling your eyelids grow heavy. Two, closing your eyes. And three, you’re asleep.”
Rainbow eyes closed shut, showing she was in a deep hypnotic sleep as clapping could be heard from Celestia and Fata. Fanta stood up and said, “An excellent performance, Luna.”
Luna bowed as she said, “Thank you. Thank you. You’re too kind... but now for the main event.” Turning back to Rainbow, Luna said, “Now, Rainbow Dash, can you hear me?”
Rainbow, in monotone, replied, “Yes, Miss Luna.”
Luna smiled as she said, “Good. Now, you’re under the power of Miss Luna.”
“I am under the power of Miss Luna,” Rainbow said, still in her monotone voice.
“And you will obey me without question,” Luna said, already planning on what to do to the rainbow haired girl.
“I will obey Miss Luna without question.”
“Good. When I snap my fingers, you will not be yourself but a graceful ballerina, who’s ready to perform for us,” Luna said, holding her hand in the ready position. “And will dance for us, once you change into the right outfit,” she said, as she snapped her fingers.
Rainbows eyes snapped open, showing a blue and dark blue spiral in her eyes, as she walked to the little closet on the stage. Grabbing the necessary outfit, Rainbow began to strip her clothes and fold them as she slipped on the pink leotard, pink stockings and pink skirt. She walked onto the stage, then bowed before standing back up and tip toed a few feet.
Rainbow bent her upper body down as she lifted her left leg up. She rose back up but bent her leg as she began to twirl. Rainbow stopped spinning and bowed as Celestia, Luna and Fanta clapped politely.
Luna snaps her fingers, causing Rainbow to return to her hypnotic trance state. “Very good, Rainbow Dash. Now, when I snap my fingers, you will sing the girliest song you can think of, in as equally of a girly voice as you can manage,” Luna said, smiling in amusement.
Rainbow opens her eyes as she begins to sing. https://youtu.be/ZyhrYis509A
Luna snaps her fingers again, and Rainbow returned to her trance yet again. “I believe that’s enough. Now, Rainbow-”
“Actually, I need to give Rainbow a few more instructions before she can be released,” Fanta said, as she walked towards the stage.
“Very well. Rainbow, you will obey any and all orders and instructions that Miss Fanta will give you,” Luna said, slightly moving away from Rainbow.
“Yes, Miss Luna. I will obey Miss Fanta,” Rainbow monotonically said, as she stood there, unmoving.
“Now, Rainbow, I need to know why you came to my mansion,” Fanta said, generally curious as to why this girl came here.
“My friend, Pinkie, made a bet with me,” Rainbow said without any emotion, “If I could stay here for the night, she would make my favorite dessert whenever I wanted.”
“Well then, when I snap my fingers, I want you to return to the room you entered and rest for the night. This night will feel like nothing more than a crazy dream you’ve had, and once you wake up, you will feel refreshed and excited about your bet that you won,” Fanta said, looking the girl over.
“Yes, Miss Fanta.”
“Then, have pleasant dreams, Rainbow Dash,” Fanta said, before snapping her fingers. Rainbow opened her eyes as she walked off the stage and towards the door.
Luna eyes widened as she called out to Fanta, “She’s still in the ballet outfit.”
Fanta yelled, “Rainbow, come back here and take your clothes to change back into before you go to sleep!”
The Next Day
Rainbow Dash woke up with the sunlight shining in her face. “Man, these old beds are pretty comfortable,” she said as she got up and began to stretch.
Walking out the door, Rainbow made her way down the hall towards the main foyer. Looking around, she saw that this place looked nice, besides the cobwebs and stuff on the floor. “Now, where's the front door?” Rainbow said, walking down the stairs.
“This has to be it,” she said, as she walked to the double doors and opened them. She was greeted with the bright sunlight as she stepped outside. She raised her hand to shield her eyes as they adjusted to the light and said, “Wonder what time it is?”
Her phone begins to ring as she picked it up and said, “Hello?”
“WHERE ARE YOU, RAINBOW?!” an energetically fast voice asked on the other line.
Rainbow blinked and asked, “Pinkie? Why’re you yelling?”
“YOU’RE NOT AT SCHOOL! YOUR PARENTS ARE WORRIED!” Pinkie yelled, causing Rainbow to pull the phone away from her ear.
“Relax, Pinkie. I’m on my ….Wait, didn’t school just start for the day?”
“IT’S 12:42 PM, AND YOU’RE LATE FOR LUNCH!” Pinkie continued to yell.
“Shit. Must have overslept. I’ll be there soon, Pinkie,” Rainbow said, as she began to run to school, not noticing the pink ballerina outfit left nearby from her strange night at the mansion.
Author's Note
New story that Rathbane gave me permission to write and Regreme helped write and edit. Yeah the hypnosis is rough and I'll work on it for future chapters.
So like, rate and comment
Walking down the road, Fluttershy couldn’t focus on anything else but her shoes. Looking at her hand was a flyer for a convention that was going to happen in a couple of days. Ever since she saw the flyer, Fluttershy’s mind wandered back to the conversation she had with Rarity.
“Now, Darling, I’ll have the perfect costume ready by the time of the convention.”
“B-But..”
“Now, don’t worry. I have everything covered.”
Fluttershy’s dilemma wasn’t the costume or Rarity’s generous nature. Her main dilemma was her crippling fear of everyone seeing her in the costume Rarity made for her. The thought of her making a fool out of herself was a frightening thought to her, she could even hear the voices.
“Isn’t that the girl who gives out those fliers?”
“What’s she doing in that?”
“She’s into that stuff?”
She felt a bit conflicted at the moment. On one hand, she wanted to go with her friend and wear that costume, but on the other hand, she didn’t want to embarrass herself in front of everyone.
“Maybe I shouldn’t go... but Rarity put all that time and effort into making that outfit. Oh, what should I do?”
Fluttershy sat down on a bench and put her head in her hands, worrying about every possibility that could happen. She brought her legs up to her chest and hugged them as she thought of every possible problem that could happen.
“You okay?”
Turning around, Fluttershy saw someone she didn’t expect to run into today. “Sonata?”
There before her was the ex-siren Sonata Dusk, wearing her black shirt and skirt with blue flame design on it. She waved with a smile on her face and said, “Heya, Fluttershy. How’re you doing?”
The shy girl wiped away a few tears as she quietly said, “I’m just going out for a walk.”
“You were sitting there for a bit though. Did you need a break?” Sonata said, taking a seat beside Fluttershy while smoothing out her skirt. Sonata opened her mouth to say something, but then looked down in confusion, which confused Fluttershy as well. “What’s that?” Sonata asked, pointing at Fluttershy’s hand.
Fluttershy looked at what Sonata was pointing at and froze momentarily. It was the convention flier she was referring to. She quickly moved the flier behind her and said, “Oh… um... it’s just a piece of paper I picked up.”
“Really? Cause it looks reeeeaaaaallllyyy familiar,” Sonata said, squinting a little bit, causing Fluttershy to giggle a bit as it reminded her of Pinkie when she’s being silly. “Can I see it for a bit?”
“W-why would you want to? ….If you don’t mind me asking,” Fluttershy asked, not looking Sonata in the eyes.
Sonata huffed a bit and muttered, “It’s gonna drive me crazy until I figure it out, so please let me see it.”
Fluttershy didn’t do anything for a few moments, as she was trying to decide on whether or not to show her. In the end, she decided to show Sonata the paper. “H-Here it is,” Fluttershy said, handing the flier over.
Sonata took the flier from Fluttershy and examined it closely... then gasped. “This is a flier for the convention coming up! I should show this to Ms. Fanta,” Sonata cheerfully said, handing the flier back to the shy girl. Sonata noticed the down look on Fluttershy’s face and asked, “You okay?”
Fluttershy looked away and stuttered, “I-I’m f-fine.”
“C’mon, Fluttershy. I just want to know why you look like Aria when she has tacos,” Sonata whined, still looking at the shy girl.
“I don’t want to talk about it,” Fluttershy quietly said, wanting Sonata to stop.
“Please tell me what’s wrong. Does the convention bring back bad memories?” Sonata asked, somewhat seriously.
Fluttershy shook her head then said, “No, it’s not that. It’s just… my friend Rarity made me a costume to wear to the convention. It’s a ice costume but I can’t wear anything revealing.”
“That’s it? But that sounds like fun,” Sonata said, slightly confused.
“I’m just worried what everyone will say when they see me. I get so nervous when I’m in a crowd, but being in costume in front of everyone is scary. What if they laugh at me or call me names?” Fluttershy asked, as various images of people laughing at her popped in her head.
“It’s not that scary,” Sonata said, not seeing the problem.
“But it IS scary. Everyone watching you, judging every move you make. I couldn’t have fun if I was there,” Fluttershy whimpered.
Sonata looked at the girl in pity as she was thinking of something to do to help her. Nothing came to mind, as she hasn’t had to deal with a problem like this. It was always easy for Sonata when she was… on… stage.
Sonata jumped from her seat and yelled, “THAT’S IT!!!”
Fluttershy jumped as well, but in fear rather than excitement. Looking at the blue haired girl, Fluttershy stuttered, “W-What’s it?”
Sonata grinned and said, “I can hypnotize you to make you more comfortable with crowds.”
“H-Hypnotize me?”
“Yeah! I can make it so you can have fun at the convention and not have to worry about anything,” Sonata said, excited she can help the troubled girl out. “It’ll be easy for me to do.”
Fluttershy wasn’t sure about using hypnosis to help herself. It’s not that she didn’t trust Sonata. It’s just that she never liked the idea of letting others control her. Sonata could make her act like an animal or make her say something embarrassing, but... she looked so eager to help. Letting out a sigh, Fluttershy said, “You sure this will work? …If you don’t mind me asking.”
Sonata shook her head wildly as her ponytail bobbed with each movement. “I’ve done this enough to know what I’m doing,” Sonata said, as she pulled out a pocket watch… from somewhere.
“Um, okay... if you’re sure,” Fluttershy lamely said.
Sonata smiled as she started to swing the watch in front of Fluttershy. “Now, all you need to do is watch the watch and relax,” Sonata said gently.
Fluttershy just sat there and watched the watch swing gently while thinking, ‘I wonder if this will work?’
“Just watch as the watch swings back and forth. It’s calms you down while gazing at it and don’t look away,” Sonata slowly and lowly said.
Fluttershy slowly moved her head as she started to calm down. ‘I can’t look away. Must watch,’ Fluttershy thought, not resisting.
“Keep your eyes on the watch as you feel your muscles relax, starting at the feet. You feel this feeling slowly travel up your legs as all the tension disappears. You can’t look away from the watch as you listen to my voice,” Sonata said, happy to see the shy girl listening to her.
Fluttershy continued to follow the watch and Sonata’s instructions as her legs felt weightless. ‘Need to relax. Listen to Sonata,’ Fluttershy thought simply.
“You feel your tummy relax as the feeling travel towards your chest and down your arms. With each second you feel relaxed, your mind gets a bit slower,” Sonata said, seeing her arms go slack.
‘Arms relaxed… Listen to Sonata,’ Fluttershy thought, as she leaned against her chair.
“This relaxed feeling travels slowly up to your neck and to your head… Now, I need you to listen real carefully. I’ll be counting down from 5, and once I reach zero, you’ll fall asleep and be in a hypnotic trance,” Sonata calmly said.
‘Count… Zero… Trance,’ were the thoughts going through Fluttershy’s head.
“Five, feeling your eyelids get heavy. Four, feeling your head droop. Three, getting even sleepier. Two, almost there. One, your eyes are closing. And… Zero,” Sonata said, as Fluttershy’s head fell forward a bit.
Sonata stood there for a moment, admiring her work. “Now then... Fluttershy, can you hear me?” Sonata asked, having done this a dozen times over.
“Yes,” Fluttershy said, monotoned.
“Now Fluttershy, you have been hypnotized by me: Sonata Dusk, Stage Hypnotist Extraordinaire. Do you understand?” Sonata asked.
“Yes, I have been hypnotized by Sonata Dusk, Stage Hypnotist Extraordinaire,” Fluttershy droned on.
“Now, whenever you’re in this trance, you’ll listen to anything I say, and you’ll only come back into this trance when I say the phase “Trance Time”. Do you understand, Fluttershy?” Sonata asked.
“I will go into a trance when you say “Trance Time”,” Fluttershy droned.
“Now to help you with your little clothing problem. Fluttershy, you will forget about any problems and insecurities you have with any revealing clothes. You will even feel more comfortable wearing those kind of clothes, as if you were wearing your most casual outfits,” Sonata said, working her magic so to say.
“Comfortable wearing revealing clothes,” Fluttershy said quietly.
“Now, I want you to have fun at this convention so here’s your next order. Whenever you wear a costume, you will act out the role or character depending on the costume, as if aspects of their personality have mixed with yours,” Sonata said, trying to word this carefully as possible.
“Act like the costume. Like parts of their personalities have mixed with mine.”
“Now that you have your commands, you’ll follow them even when you’re out of this trance, but you won’t find it weird that you’re acting like this. Now, when I snap my fingers, you’ll wake up, feeling refreshed,” Sonata said, then snapped her fingers.
Fluttershy’s head snapped back up as she blinked her eyes.
“How do you feel, Fluttershy?”
“I feel… good? Did you hypnotize me?” Fluttershy asked, wondering what just happened.
“Sure did, but follow me,” Sonata said, grabbing Fluttershy’s arm and dragging her down the sidewalk.
“Where’re we going?” Fluttershy asked, trying to run so she wouldn’t be dragged along.
“You'll see,” Sonata said, smiling a Pinkie like smile. She continued on walking down the sidewalk, but suddenly stopped and quietly said, “It should be around here somewhere.”
Fluttershy was panting like one of the puppies at the shelter as she asked, “What’s around here?”
“Don’t worry about it. I’m just looking for… THAT!!!” Sonata yelled, as she resumed dragging the shy girl with her. She opened the door to a small shop and walked inside as quickly as possible.
Fluttershy didn’t know what happened. One moment, she was in the store, and the next, she was in a small changing room. “Sonata, what’re-?”
“No time. Here,” Sonata said, opening the door of the dressing room and handing Fluttershy a folded piece of cloth, “Put this on now!!!”
“Why do I-?”
“Just do it,” Sonata said, closing the door as she left the small room. “I’ll be waiting outside, so come out once you have it on. I’m so excited!”
Fluttershy just shrugged and started lifting her shirt up.
Sonata had been waiting for a couple of minutes for Fluttershy to come out and wondered what was taking her so long. Knocking on the door, Sonata asked, “You okay in there?”
“Um... yes... I’m just finishing up in here,” Fluttershy said from the other side, sounding a bit nervous.
“Well, come out then. Let’s see how you look,” Sonata asked, barely containing her excitement.
“Just a second… Just need to… fix this.”
Sonata was wondering what was going on in there when she heard the sound of the doorknob turn.
The door opened and Fluttershy stepped out in a very tight dress. The dress itself was a dark green color as it flowed into a pencil-like skirt for her. The torso part of the dress was just two straps that showed off cleavage and her bellybutton. She did a quick turn, showing off her ass being squeezed as her breasts threatened to pop out, as she asked, “Well, how do I look?”
Sonata gave a quick once over and said, “Can you give me a little twirl?”
Fluttershy gave a small nod and did a slow spin, showing off her back side and her tightly squeezed ass. “So?”
“Perfect,” Sonata said, giving Fluttershy a big thumbs up.
“Oh, thank goodness. I was wondering if the dress suited me,” Fluttershy said, trying to smooth out the skirt.
“Well, it suits you perfectly. Now, why don’t you change back into your clothes, and we can leave,” Sonata said, glad that the hypnosis worked.
Fluttershy went back into the dressing room and returned a couple minutes later, wearing her white tank top and green skirt. Once she put the dress into a basket outside the dressing room, Fluttershy followed Sonata outside and gave her a big hug while saying, “Thank you, Sonata.”
Sonata let out a joy filled laugh as she returned the hug to the once shy girl. “It was no problem, but there is the matter of my payment,” Sonata said seriously.
Fluttershy let go of the girl and quietly said, “But I don’t have a lot of money on me.”
Sonata scratched her chin as she hummed to herself. “No money, huh? Well, I guess I can have you pay me in another way, if you want,” Sonata said, turning to face away from the shy girl.
“W-What is it?” Fluttershy asked, unsure that she wanted to know.
Sonata turned back to face Fluttershy with her arm up in the air and said, “You can pay me back by having fun at this convention, silly.”
Fluttershy blinked before giggling a little and said, “Okay, Sonata. I’ll have fun at the convention.” Fluttershy blinked once again and yelled, “I have to call Rarity. Anyways, thanks again, Sonata.”
Sonata just smiled and said, “No problem. Now, go and talk to your friend.”
Fluttershy ran away as fast as she could, leaving Sonata alone by the store. She started to kick her feet as she began to walk down the road herself. “I really do hope she has fun. Wish I could go and see what all the fuss is about,” Sonata said, mostly to herself. She then smiled to herself and said, “...Miss Fanta did want to see what people do for fun.”
The next day
“Oh, I’m so glad you changed your mind, darling. It would have been ever so dreadful if I had to come here by myself,” Rarity said, buckling her belts.
Fluttershy was fixing her yellow top and said, “Well, I had some time to think and thought that I should at least try this once.” She knew that was a lie, but she didn’t want her friend to blow this out of proportion.
“Well, none the less, I’m happy you’re trying out new things, Fluttershy,” Rarity exclaimed, pulling her sleeves a bit.
Fluttershy just put on a brown jacket that showed off her stomach and said, “Well, I always wanted to cosplay, ever since I started to watch some anime.” She buttoned the jacket up and grabbed the belt off the table before putting it on. Once the belt was fastened, Fluttershy looked behind her to see that the skirt was on perfectly and grabbed the bag holding the last part of her costume.
Fluttershy turned to face her friend and saw the costume Rarity was wearing. She was wearing a pair of skin tight shiny black pants that mostly cover her high heels. Rarity was wearing a shiny red long sleeved top, with black sleeves under them, that had no neckline and showed off the teal necklace and a generous amount of cleavage. And the finishing touch were the glasses she was wearing, with her hair pulled back into a ponytail.
“Is that what you’ll be wearing?” Fluttershy asked, thinking that Rarity’s outfit was very fitting for her friend.
Rarity smiled and shamelessly said, “Why, yes, it is. I played one of the older shooters called Sin Episodes and just loved Elexis Sinclaire’s outfit. And you pull off that Yang look very well.”
Fluttershy kicked her foot and said, “Well, I always liked how kind and easygoing she was. She was always ready to fight for her friends, no matter what.”
Looking at the clock on her wall, Rarity gasped and said, “Look at the time. We have to hurry, or we’ll be late.”
Fluttershy just nodded and followed Rarity out her bedroom and out her house door. It only took them fifteen minutes to get to the convention and another five to get inside.
“Well, here we are, dear,” Rarity said, looking at everything inside the convention. She could see many people in costumes, rows of vendors and even a stage all the way in the back. “I can’t wait to see what they’re selling here,” she said excitedly, holding her hands in front of her and squishing her breasts together.
“I’m hoping to find a new plushie or maybe a cute anime,” Fluttershy said, scanning the vendors.
Rarity looked at her friend and asked, “Why don’t you finish putting on your costume?”
“I’m sure I have everything on,” Fluttershy said, confused and looking down to see she had the right shoes, skirt and top on. She even had the orange scarf around her neck, so what was she missing?
“Darling, you forgot your gloves.”
“Oh, thank you for reminding me, Rarity,” Fluttershy said, opening her little bag and pulling out a pair of gloves with large gold bracelets. She slipped on the gloves, one on each hand, and buckled the bracelets on. Once they were on, a voice echoed inside her mind.
“You will act out the role or character you’re dressed up as. You will act out the role or character you’re dressed up as.”
As the command went through her head, Fluttershy’s eyes closed and opened, gaining a fire inside them. She stretched a it and cockily said, “Alright, let’s get this show on the road.”
Rarity looked at her friend in confusion and asked, “Are you okay, darling?”
Fluttershy gave her a smirk and said, “Of course I’m okay. Now, let’s rock this place with a Yang.”
“Very well, darling. Shall we move on?” Rarity asked, having an uneasy smile on her face.
“Sure, maybe we’ll find an awesome game or something,” Fluttershy said, pumping her hands in the air like she just didn’t care.
Rarity just looked at her friend, thinking she was acting a bit weird, but pushed it to the back of her mind. Fluttershy was acting almost like her friend Rainbow Dash, but why did she feel a bit scared of that?
“Then, let’s go this way first,” Rarity said, pointing to the left.
They began walking around, looking at the various shops and vendors there. After looking around for a while, Rarity was carrying a bag full of games, fabric and a few cosplay items, while Fluttershy had a bag with a game and a poster.
Fluttershy was feeling a bit bored and said, “We gonna just walk around, or are we gonna do something exciting?”
Rarity smiled and said, “We will, don’t worry. We’ll just check a couple more stalls and …”
“Excuse me?” a new voice said.
The two cosplaying friends turned to see an older man in a black suit with a green scarf holding the hand of a little girl in a black dress and red hood. “I’m sorry to bother the both of you. You see, my daughter wants to ask you something,” the man said, as the little girl hides behind him.
Looking down, he said, “You can ask them. They won’t bite.”
The little girl in the cloak peaked out from behind her father and slowly walked in front of the two girls. She looked down at the ground and asks, “Can I hug you? Pretty please?”
Fluttershy bent down till her knees were on the floor with her arms spread. “Of course you can. Come here, you sweet child.”
The little girl looked up and had a smile on her face, as if Christmas came early this year. She then ran at Fluttershy with her arms open and gave her a big hug while laughing. Fluttershy returned the hug as she stood up.
The father smiled at the cute scene and said, “Would you mind if I got a picture?”
Fluttershy winked and said, “Anything for ‘Ruby’ here.”
“Alright, just stand still,” the father said, pulling out his phone and pointing it at them, “Now, say ‘Grim’!”
“Grim!” Fluttershy and ‘Ruby’ yelled as they posed. The phone flashed as ‘Ruby’ had her hand raised, making the peace sign, and Fluttershy did the same thing. Once the photo was taken, Fluttershy bent back down, setting the little girl down, and giving her one more hug before letting her go back to her dad.
The father looked at his daughter and asked, “Now, what do you say to the nice lady?”
‘Ruby’ turned to face Fluttershy and said, “THANK YOU, YANG!!!”
Waving gently to the adorable girl, Fluttershy said, “Anything for a sweet girl like you.”
The two left, with the little girl waving like crazy. Rarity had a kind smile on her face as she saw her friend do something kind for that sweet little girl. “Shall we get going, darling?” Rarity asked, wanting to look at the last few stalls.
“Yeah, I want to see if there’s… anything… cool,” Fluttershy said, looking at something to the side.
Rarity looked a tad worried and said, “Are you alright, Fluttershy?”
“Yeah, yeah. Just gonna go over there,” Fluttershy said, walking towards one of the stalls.
Rarity followed Fluttershy to a small table that had a bunch of plushies on it and on the wall behind it. The plushies ranged from anime characters to even iconic mascots and animals. She saw that Fluttershy was examining one of the plushies that looked like a Welsh Corgi, if she remembered correctly. Since she was occupied looking at the plushies, Rarity decided to look at another stall near there.
“Zwei,” Fluttershy softly said, stroking the stuffed animal before cuddling it as if it was real. Turning to the vendor, Fluttershy asked, “How much for Zwei?”
The vender, a young blonde man wearing a black hoodie, blue pants and some white chest plate, looked at something off to the side and said, “For that one alone, it’ll be $30. But if you want, you can buy another one, and it’ll be $50 all together.”
Fluttershy didn’t like how high the price was and said, “That’s a bit high for a plushie.”
The guy scratched the back of his head and said, “Sorry, but the prices are set by my friend. Wish I could help you though.”
Fluttershy was about to argue with the vender, but then thought of something else. She gave the vender a little smile and said, “You sure you can’t lower the price just a bit?”
“I’m sorry, but I can’t,” he said, shaking his head a bit.
“Not even if I do a favor for you,” Fluttershy said leaning forward to show a bit more cleavage.
The boy blushed a bit and stammered, “I-I can’t d-do that. I-I m-mean... I’ll g-get in trouble.”
“Now now, I’m not asking for them to be free. I’m just asking for a lower price,” Fluttershy said, giving him a suggestive wink. “What do ya say?”
He looked around nervously, trying to see if anyone was watching him. Swallowing the lump in his throat, he said, “Okay, I can give you a small discount. For the two it’ll be $45.”
“Still a bit too expensive. How about $30 for both,” Fluttershy said, leaning forward a bit while licking her lips.
“$40 is as low as I can go,” the boy said, trying to keep his eyes on her face. It was harder than he thought, when they were practically in his face.
“$30, and I’ll give you a special surprise,” Fluttershy said, winking.
He didn’t say anything for a moment before he sighed and said, “Sure.”
Fluttershy grins and said, “Awesome, now close your eyes.”
The boy narrowed his eyes and harshly said, “I’m not falling for that trick. What’s to say you won’t leave as soon as I close my eyes?”
Fluttershy had a gentle smile on as she said, “I promise I won’t run. Now, close your eyes.”
The boy closed his eyes and grumbled, “Not like this isn’t the first time.” He just stood there, waiting for something to happen when he felt a hand on his head and his pocket moving. He was wondering what was going on when he felt lips touch his own. Opening his eyes, a flash went off in his face.
“Here you go,” Fluttershy said, handing him a few dollars and a rectangular object.
One look at the object, the boy knew it was his phone and unlocked it to see an interesting image. The image itself was the girl he was just made a deal with kissing him on the lips. He was staring at his phone for a while and said, “No one’s gonna believe this.”
Fluttershy was humming to herself as she hugged her Zwei and Beowolf plushies to her chest. “Best deal ever,” she said, as she bumped into someone, “Sorry.”
A familiar voice said, “It’s okay, Fluttershy.”
Looking at the person she bumped into, Fluttershy saw a familiar blue haired girl in a black and white maid dress with a headdress and stockings. “Sonata, what’re you doing here?” Fluttershy asked, surprised that her friend was here at the convention.
Sonata dusted off her dress and said, “Well, you got me interested on what it would be like to come here, and I wanted my friend to come with me.”
“It’s not Adagio or Aria, is it?” Fluttershy asked, looking around for any orange puffy hair and purple twin tailed girls.
Sonata got a sour look on her face and harshly said, “They wouldn’t come here, no matter what. Adagio would be like ‘I wouldn’t be near these simpletons’ and Aria would say ‘Only losers go to those things’.”
“Um… If they’re not here, then who’s your friend?” Fluttershy asked, generally curious.
Sonata moved her hands to her left, in a showing kind of manner, and said, “My bestest friend, Fanta, is here with me.”
Looking to where Sonata was showing, Fluttershy awkwardly said, “Um… Sonata, there’s no one there.”
“What you mean no one’s here?” Sonata asked, looking to the side to see no one there. “Fanta, where did you go?”
“I’m right here.”
They turned around to see a girl with light brown skin, long black hair and silver eyes. She was wearing a cream colored suit jacket, plaid skirt, white button up shirt and a red tie. The girl also had black nylon stockings, nice red shoes and an adorable pair of cat ears on her head.
Sonata let out a sigh and said, “Where did you go, Fanta? I thought I lost you.”
The girl, Fanta, just smiled and said, “I’m sorry, Sonata, but I saw some books that I could use.” She looks at Fluttershy and said, “Is this the one who told you about this gathering?”
“Yup. This is Fluttershy. Fluttershy, this is my bestest friend, Fanta,” Sonata said, introducing the two to each other.
“Hello,” Fluttershy said, holding out her hand.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Fluttershy,” Fanta said, grabbing the offered hand and shaking it. “I must thank you for telling Sonata of this gathering. It’s been an interesting experience,” Fanta said, letting go of Fluttershy’s hand.
“Oh, I just talked to her about a problem I had, and she helped me out,” Fluttershy said cheerfully.
Fanta gently smiled, glancing at Sonata, and said, “Of course she helped.”
“By the way, what were the books you got?” Fluttershy asked, as her mind went to a very graphic subject.
Fanta opened a bag she was carrying and pulled out a few hard covered books. “I found a vender selling these books that had a few clothing designs in them. I thought they would be good another time,” Fanta calmly said, as she put the books back in the bag.
“Cool! So, we can use them?” Sonata excitedly asked, bouncing up and down like Pinkie Pie.
“Of course,” Fanta said.
“YAY!!” Sonata said, doing a little twirl and causing Fluttershy to giggle to herself.
“Fluttershy, where are you?” an accented voice said.
Fluttershy turned to see Rarity looking frantic as she called her name. “Over here!” she said, waving her arms around.
Rarity came rushing over and said, “There you are, darling. I almost thought I lost you.”
“Naw, I was just talking to a new friend,” Fluttershy nonchalantly said, as she pointed towards Sonata and Fanta.
Rarity looked at the two and said, “Isn’t that Sonata Dusk? And who’s the other woman?”
“Yeah, that’s Sonata and her friend, Fanta. She seems to be interested in custom clothes or something. She got some artbooks for it,” Fluttershy said, shrugging her shoulders.
“Oh, she is? Well, maybe I should introduce myself,” Rarity said, mostly to herself. She walked over to the two and said, “Hello, you two.”
Sonata stopped her little dance and waved at Rarity, while Fanta politely asked, “Hello. May I help you?”
“Well, my name is Rarity, and I was just talking to my friend, Fluttershy. She told me you were interested in some clothing designs. I just wanted to tell you I could help you if you’re ever interested,” Rarity said, looking at the silver eyed girl.
Fanta nodded her head and said, “I might have to take you up on that offer. Do you have a way I could reach you?”
“Of course,” Rarity said, as she took a piece of paper and pen out of her cleavage. She wrote down her number and handed it back to Fanta and said, “If you need some advice or want to order a custom outfit, just give me a call.”
“I’ll make sure to keep that in mind,” Fanta said, taking the paper and putting it in her pocket. “Unfortunately, we must be going. It was nice to meet the both of you, and we’ll meet again,” Fanta said, walking away with Sonata following her.
Rarity saw the two disappear and said, “Well, should we continue on our way, Fluttershy?”
“Sure, but let’s get some grub,” Fluttershy cockily said, as she rubbed her stomach.
Rarity sighed and said, “Sure. I’m feeling a bit peckish as well.” The two walked off, looking for the food court or a vendor if possible.
A few hours later
The two girls were laying down on Rarity’s large four poster bed, with their stuff all over the place. Rarity was on her back, still in her costume minus the heels and glasses as Fluttershy was slowly taking off the jacket.
“I have to say, this was exhilarating,” Rarity said, not moving from her spot on the bed.
“It was tiring, but it was fun,” Fluttershy quietly said, not affected by the hypnotic suggestions. “Maybe we can do this again next year?” she asked, as she removed the belt from her hips.
Rarity had a tired smile on her face and said, “Maybe we can, but we’ll have to plan our next outfits soon. I always liked that one character from the Fire Emblem game.”
Fluttershy just nodded as she looked around the room for something. “Rarity, where’re my clothes?” she asked, not seeing her usual white tank top and green skirt.
Rarity groaned as she propped herself up and said, “They should have been near my hamper, darling. Can’t you see it?”
“Um… No, and I can’t find your hamper either,” Fluttershy said uncertainly.
“Mother or Sweetie must have done the laundry then. Check my closet. I should have a spare outfit you can wear,” Rarity said miffed, as she fell back into the soft mattress.
“Okay, thanks,” Fluttershy said, walking towards her fashionable friend’s sizeable closet. Opening the door, Fluttershy walked inside and started to look for any kind of clothes she could wear until she got home. She looked on at a few of the dresses, inside a couple of drawers and even in a rubbermaid container but only found one of Pinkie’s spare cheerleader uniforms.
Holding up the purple uniform, Fluttershy was wondering if it would be okay to wear this. “I’m sure Pinkie has a few other uniforms for some emergency,” Fluttershy said, putting the outfit on a shelf. She began pulling off the rest of the costume, the shirt and the short shorts, leaving her in her green bra and panties.
Fluttershy wrapped the skirt around her and said, “I’ll just wear this till I get home.” With the skirt on, she grabbed the shirt and put it on as a voice echoed in her head.
“You will act out the role or character you’re dressed up as. You will act out the role or character you’re dressed up as.”
Fluttershy closed her eyes and opened her eyes as a huge smile formed on her face. She felt full of energy and ready to cheer but heard someone knocking on the door.
“Fluttershy, did you find some clothes?” Rarity asked from the other side of the door.
“Yeah, just finished changing and ready to go!” Fluttershy yelled out enthusiastically.
“Alright, darling. I’m gonna be getting in the shower, so just leave whenever you want,” Rarity said, walking away from the door and into the hall.
“I feel like I’m missing something,” Fluttershy said, wondering what she was missing. She turned to see a pair of rainbow pompoms and a rainbow colored hair scrunchie. “That’s what I’m missing,” she said, grabbing the scrunchie and pulling her hair back into a ponytail and grabbed the pompoms.
“Okay, I’m ready to cheer the team to victory!” Fluttershy said, coming out of the closet and walking out of Rarity’s bedroom. “Wait, when’s the game? I want to spend sometime with the boys after the game,” Fluttershy pouted, pulling out her phone from her skirt.
Turning her phone on, Fluttershy saw that it was 8:47 pm. “Awww, it’s too late to do anything, and I have a curfew. Maybe I should go home and get a cute outfit ready for the boys tomorrow,” Fluttershy said, sounding happy again.
Fluttershy started to skip away. Once she was outside Rarity’s house, she started humming to herself cutely. She couldn’t wait for the next day.
Author's Note
Hypnosis and cosplay, a winning combo.
Thanks to Regreme for editing and his input on this.
The hypnosis was a bit shorter because Fluttershy wanted it to happen instead of resisting it.
And Yes, Fluttershy was Yang from RWBY, Rarity was Elexia Sinclaire from Sin Episode and Sonata was a maid.
