Chapters I am a pony living in Ponyville, but unlike most ponies I’m a hermaphrodite. We’ll get back to that later though. My mane was short and had a poor grooming job. I’m a unicorn. My horn was sharper than most unicorn’s horn. My coat is a gold color with silver speckle spots going throughout my body. I am rather tall for a pony as I dwarfed my whole family in size, but was one of the youngest and skinniest pony among my family. My iris’ were silver but it was hard to tell because of the white part of my eye. I had two other siblings. Their was my older sister and my older brother. My sister was a pegasus. Her coat was pink with silver stripes similar to a zebra. She was the eldest, but you couldn’t tell because of her height. Then there was my brother. Quite frankly we had a mutual love. If it wasn’t for my constant bullies getting beat up by him I would probably never tell that he loves me. He was an earth pony. His coat was blacker than the darkest shadow. He was just an inch smaller than me and was a lot stronger than I was. He was tough love and tougher than most all the time. This would all change after my incident though, and It all started when I found a book are parents had left.
My parents were dead. If it wasn’t for our older sister. Me and my brother would be put in an orphanage, but since it was so recent the authorities decided that it was best to keep the room where the incident happened until they found the culprit, but I was still a hard headed asshole back then, so I walked in. I found this really complex spell in the magic books that my parents had left lying around. Being the dumb ass unicorn, I decided to try and cast it. It was a gender transformation spell. My body’s magic did not have the ability to cast the spell, but by some miracle I casted it effortlessly. I failed somewhere in the middle because I felt certain organs shifting around, and it scared the living hell out of me. All I knew was when I stopped it, the whole house was echoed with a loud popping noise. I felt pain in my nether regions and where my stomach met my lower intestine. Not knowing what to do I cried out.
“WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED!!” yelled my sister, Angel, from the her room as she was trotting as fast as she could towards the crying in the “off limits room”.
“I have no fucking clue, but It sounds like Genes.” said my brother, George, as he quickly followed angel.
They slammed open the door and saw me crying on the floor in a puddle of blood. Angel quickly flew over to me and put me on her back. Luckily I was really lightweight. “How did this happen?” Angel asked me as I pointed at a book on the floor. She quickly glanced at the spellbook, and she realized what spell I had casted. “Oh fuck, we need to go to the hospital right fucking now.”
“No fucking kidding.” said my brother sarcastically as she glared at him as they exited the room. I was beginning to black out from blood loss. All I remember was that damn spell.
Ponyville Medical Clinic...
Last night was all a black blob. Okay technically speaking I was out for the whole week, but you get the idea. When I awoke, I found my sister’s cutie mark on the side of my bed. It was a picture of a feather. Then I was the one to wake up everybody.
“W-What happened? Oww. Oww. Oww. Did I miss anything important?” I asked startling my sister and my brother.
“Phew, for a second there I thought you were gonna die.” George said with sigh of relief, but was then attacked by a pillow my sister threw.
“What George was trying to say was good to have you back Gene.” she said as I blushed a little bit. “We had to delete the memory of what happened to you because it was just that scarring.”
“Wait. Then why do I still remember the spell?” I asked. They both just shrugged. “Okay well then why can’t I remember what gender I a?” I asked next they were both hesitant to answer, but Angel spoke up.
“The doctor said that it was the one thing needed to delete in order to make sure you don’t come out feeling lost and broken.” said Angel as the door opened.
A nurse walked in. “Oh, you're awake we need to tell the doctor about that, but first I need to speak with you two” as she said pointing at my sister and my brother. As she took them out of the room. As they left the room, I decided to check out my injury. They didn’t bandage it up because they needed away to urinate. The place where my whatever it was was an “X” shaped scar. “Well there goes my legacy,” I thought to myself as I looked at my gender specific part gone with the dust.
I noticed another thing had shown up on me as well. On my butt sat a cutie mark. It was a gender symbol with three parts on the one circle. There was the male symbol on the top right of the circle, the female part on the bottom, and on the top left sat a combination of the two gender symbols. I was gender transformer. ‘Cool my cutie mark. So apparently this accident was supposed to happen, but why a gender transformer.’ I thought to myself then facehoofed myself. As I thought of my full name, Genderswapped. Gene was a nickname because it was two long to address by my full name all the time.
Meanwhile right outside my door...
“What?” my siblings said in unison with a questioning look on their face.
“In order for the procedure to work we needed to integrate both genders into one, so his mind stays confused and certain memories don’t become revealed and kill him from pure shock.” she said and finally took a breath.
“What do you mean both genders?” asked George. As Angel nodded in agreement.
“Gene can is technically a hermaphrodite. Which means he/she can get pregnant as well as get a mare pregnant.” said the nurse.
“I get the pregnant part, but how in the hell is Gene suppose to impregnate another mare with out you know... a penis?” she asked as the nurse shrugged.
“Gene just can. I never said it was easy.” said the nurse.
“So wait, wait, wait, does Gene have an estrus cycle.” George asked. The nurse just shrugged.
“This is technically a first for us. We will know when Gene gets to that stage in Gene’s life. Let’s put it this way, Gene looks like a mare in the front, but can do things certain mares can’t do. Gene acts like a stallion and does certain things a stallion can’t do.” said the nurse. “A couple more things before we talk to Gene, do not ever speak of what happened in that room. Another important thing, I know this is going to be incredibly too early, do not let Gene have intercourse until of appropriate age.”
“Why? Don’t get me wrong we understand, but why?” asked Angel like the responsible sister she was.
“In Gene’s condition, Gene could get pregnant at anytime because of the stallion parts always being ready for you know.” she said as it took the two siblings register what she meant, but quickly got “oh, right face”.
One difficult explanation of the birds and the bees...
“EWWWW!!! WHY?” I asked in disgust.
“To make you, me, and George.” said Angel.
“Now explain to me... WHY IN THE WORLD DOES THIS APPLY TO ME AT THIS CURRENT MOMENT IN MY LIFE!?” I asked again. Angel sat their for a loss for words as the door open.
“That’s easy and all questions will be answered.” said the doctor as he calmed a rather intense situation.
“First can you please try and what you did to me?” I asked.
“Well when you casted that spell it was in a transition between turning your reproductive organs into a different part. In turn you merged them together permanently. The popping sound was was a few of the veins that were used in the reproductive parts breaking. We really needed to remove the deformed penis from your womb.” said the doctor.
“Okay, now my second question. What’s a hermaphro-” I asked.
“A hermaphrodite is a pony or species of animal with both male and female reproductive parts.” said the doctor.
“My final questions. Why am I hermaphrodite. Also when can I eat and go home.” I asked.
“First you can have babies as well as make other ponies have babies. Secondly you are welcome to leave when you're ready we ran our final tests earlier on when you were sleeping.” said the doctor as he left.
“Gene are you going to be okay?” asked Angel.
“Yeah, we want to know?” asked George.
“I don’t know. I really don’t know. For once in my life I am actually confused.” I answered.
George wanted to comfort Gene, but as of right now he was lost. Angel was also speechless, but quickly shook it off. “Let’s put this in a positive light,” Angel said as I looked at her with confusion, “Well technically speaking you can virtually be whatever you want. Since you count as two genders you can’t be turned down because of gender rules.”
“True, but I still be bullied.” I said.
“That’s why you have me nerd.” said George
“That’s true. Maybe you guys have a point,” I said as I hugged them both, “I love you guys.”
The funeral was the other thing that stuck to my memory like glue. It was heart wrenching. I only knew my parents for 12 years, but my siblings knew them for far longer than I did. My brother was 16 and my sister was 18, so you probably know how they felt about losing their parents. The authorities found who the culprit was, but they decided that they let the princesses handle the situation. The murder was a certain draconequus, eventually he was re-stoned. I on the other hoof would have ended his life right then and there. Apparently the elements of harmony don’t kill.
We were all present at the presentation of the will. My sister was given the house and money. My brother was given the family business and money. I was given money and the same spellbook that turned me into my current state. Anyway the family business. Our business is to sell anything that would make a couple bits. We sold anything from candy and toys to condoms and sexual toys. Those were obviously in back because scarring children is bad for business. My brother did not like that idea though he happily obliged it. He was planning to go to college and get a real job. Now he had to watch over the dumb shop. He then realized that after he got home from high school he could make money to pay for college by working at the shop. He was now okay with his parent’s decision. My sister was joyed that her parents gave her the house. Now she could watch over us both and not have to pay for rent in an apartment and buy food for all three of us. She already had a job. She was a biologist. She studies birds. As for me I rather treasured the spellbook. It was filled with thousands of spells. Some were simple and some were rather complex.
So over the years I did stuff that stallions did. As well as I did stuff mares do. By the time I was ready to head out into the world without my sibling, I was able to do virtually anything I wanted to do. If I wanted to play sports with my I could. If I wanted to have a makeover with my sister I could. The world was a book, and It’s my job to fill anyway I wanted to, but today was a big day. It was my 18th birthday and you won’t believe what I got for my birthday.

Sports, A Special Punishment, and a Birthday
I was interested in two things growing up, gender bending and sports. As you can probably tell it wasn’t easy for me to do either. While gender bending was my hidden talent. It was still one of those things most ponies would look at and say ‘Why?’, and don’t even get me started on sports. Sports were some of the most heavily gender specific activities a young pony could do. They leagues for fillies, colts, mares, stallions, heck they even had a transgender league, but I could fit into all those categories and then some. When I decided it was my turn try them out, the world had mental collapse. It wasn’t until I had to get a doctor’s note that the world finally just gave up and let it pass. My favorite sport was basketball. I know what you're saying, Gene that’s sports for griffons. Yes it is true that the sport was built for griffons, but some ponies found a way to play, and actually succeed in playing without claws or any sort of fingers. I on the other hand used my magic while I played. I was the first player ever to have two teams. I played on the filly’s team and I played on the colt’s team. Since I was the only basketball playing unicorn, I had somewhat unfair advantage, but I didn’t know it until 8 years into my young career.
At the time of my first basketball game, I was getting beat up by the stronger earth ponies, and the pegasus could hover above the basket and dunk it, so I was spending most of my time on the bench. Over the years I would continue the play only for the experience. Then on the middle school championship game, I had enough. It was in the first quarter. When I saw a unicorn levitating a snack. That’s when it occurred to me that I was looking at my role on the team in the wrong way. I had one advantage over all of them, but at the cost I would be left with a headache which was fine but it still sucked. So my coach subs me back in, and I was ready to go. I lit up my horn and a gold aura surrounded the ball. I was able to control the ball while also paying attention to game at hoof. This had never been done before. Mainly because of the concentration required and the magic fatigue. I was able to maneuver the ball in any direction. As the earth ponies and pegasi were moving all over the place trying to grabbed the ball as I quickly would bounce the somewhere else. Then it came time to score. I floated the ball with the levitation spell and dropped it right over the rim before any of the pegasi could stop it. The crowd was just sitting there stunned at what just happened as I walked back to play defense. Even my teammates were shocked.
“DDDDDAAAMMMNNN,” said George from the crowd as him and Angel were both cheering me on as always, “Do that again, but on defense.”
I lit up my horn and went to work. I started to bring us back from a twenty point game down to a ten... a five... and tied. It was the fourth quarter, and the story of a unicorn that didn’t even leave the ground brings a blowout game back to even. It was all resting on my shoulders now. The other team was going to be unforgiving if they lost this game. We had thirty seconds to put up a basket. Our coach decided that it was only fair that the pony who got us all the way back here, take us to the win. I was all magicked out from the other quarters, so this one was going to be won by my sheer skill. The other team noticed that I was starting to tire out. The whistle blew and we were back on the floor.
“You look a little tired freak.” said one of the foals on the other team as their whole team started laughing.
“Yeah, but I still got a little left in the tank, fucker.” as I said back the kid glared back at me. My confidence was through the roof at the moment. The referee passed the inbounder the ball I made myself an opening and grabbed the ball. I got it and lit up my horn and bounced the ball on the ground. I was finding an opening as well as dodging all kinds of ponies trying to steal it. Then I noticed the clock. 10... I need to get him out of my way. 9... he forcing me left I think I’ll go right. 5... I made my move and the foal fell over. 3... I found a space and flicked it up with the last bits of magic I had. 2... It bounced on the right side ran up the backboard. 1.... It made. The buzzer sounded and the whole crowd was cheering our team for an exciting game that came to the buzzer. My team carried me out of the gym. They were excited beyond belief.
I was an eighth grader when this happened, and one of the high school scouts attended the game to see the student that I had just made tumble on the ground. I was 15 in my eighth grade year.
“Gene is it. I’m Coach Sam of Ponyville High.” said Coach Sam.
“Hi Coach Sam.” I said.
“Do you have any idea what you just did in that gym?” asked Coach Sam.
“No.” I stated
“That boy that you made tumble over was the top kid in Equestria, and you made him look like he was a role player.” said Coach Sam.
“So you’re telling me that kid was Star Strutter. The Star Strutter.” I replied as Coach Sam nodded his head.
“Anyway I came to ask you did you ever considering playing varsity in high school?” asked Sam as I shook my head, “Well maybe we should change that because if you can play like that then you're more than definitely ready to play on our basketball team. Anyway here’s my card and here’s the female coaches card.” He handed me two cards with addresses on them and he left me there shocked. For the next 3 years I would develop my magic, so I don’t get headaches and teach my skills to the other unicorn’s on the team.
Present...
Today was an exciting day not only was it my eighteenth birthday. I realized today was the start of the 11th grade, and that meant two things. One it meant that I get brand new set of teachers, and two I get to play basketball.
This year started out like shit. Not only did my friend on the basketball teams get moved to other high schools. I was practically the only unicorn on our basketball team again. The freshman all sucked as to be expected and we only got one unicorn. Her name was Spice. Spice was an orange filly with a green mane and tail to match. Her bones were fragile as we were told, but her will was made from iron. She wasn’t the one for physical contact and was more adept shooting from really long distances. If we were to put her on the girl’s varsity team she would probably die, but she would never let you know that until it was too late.
Then there were my teachers. Each of them could go to hell. They were A doing this job just to pay the bills. B enjoy kids struggling to answer these complex questions without any help, or C plain hated kids altogether. My parents may have made a fortune off their shop, but I would need far more money than they ever made to help me decipher these equations, articles, and science reports.
Finally, there were the bullies or as I like to call them rich bitch #1 and rich bitch #2. Every stinkin year we get rid of an asshole just to inhabit another one. First there was the senior Prince Blueblood, who was making life a living hell because he’s royalty. Then there was that other senior with an ego the size of Equestria. I believe her name was Rainbow Dash. Now presenting, the two fuckers Diamond Tiara with a Silver Spoon to scoop whatever shit Diamond Tiara’s asshole drops.
“Spice, you little prick. I told you to hand over the fucking lunch money, or I’ll have to break another one of those fragile limbs.” said Diamond Tiara as she gestured her hoof to hand over the lunch money. Spice was on the floor crying as she held onto her nose.
“Never... Oww... Fucker... Go... Oww... Have... Silver Spoon... Kiss... Your... Pussy...” Spice replied wincing in pain from her broken nose. ‘OOOOOOOOhhhhhh’ I thought to myself as I observed what was happening. I had decided if she wasn’t done trying by now I would intervene.
She was about to slap her again when I decided that I had seen enough and used my magic to stop her hoof from slapping Spice. They were startled by my appearance and were shivering in terror. “Well now I do believe this confrontation is over,” I said as I floated them in the trash can, ”Spice are you okay.” She shook her head and showed her nose. I winced in pain because it was one of those bones that you could already tell it was 100% broken. As I walked her to the nurse’s office. She thanked me.
“Why did you... Oww... do that?” asked Spice.
“Mainly because I know how it feels to be bullied. I especially hate it on my birthday.” I replied. She congratulated me on my eighteenth birthday and thanked me once again. “How about you come with me home today?” I asked. She thought for a while and simply nodded. “By the way great job on basketball today, especially for a freshman.” I complimented.
“Thank you-,” Spice said sticking out her free hoof.
“Gene,” I said and shook her hoof.
I decided that I would take Spice to the shop. Our shop was known throughout all of Equestria. My parents were some of the hardest workers ever, and it showed in our buy it and refund available question free. The shop hulled in at least 5 million bits a year. Like I said earlier, we sale practically anything. We also offered a wide range of services, and my special gift added a new one to the growing list. From massages to magical remedies we sold it all, and for a limited time gender bending. Gender bending is a complex task, and a rather expensive one. One gender bending usually costed 3500 bits or more depending on the individual's desire. What can I say, I’m an artist. I hated when people half ass their work. If the individual wanted to be a mare I would make them look like an attractive one, and the same goes for stallions.
One problem with this taboo was it only worked one way. Once I casted the spell on you, you were basically stuck until the day you die. So far I’ve only had to do it twice. Big Mac was my first, and his sister nearly killed me for doing something that he had asked me to do. I remember like it was yesterday. Big Mac came in my shop with 4000 bits and said do it. So I accomplished what he asked for, and he was now a she. Then the next day, Applejack was chasing me through my shop with her shovel claiming that I ruined her brother. Her new sister calmed her down and said it was her idea. Applejack then apologized for trashing the shop. I simply said don’t worry about it, but she insisted that she help. So she was the only employee at the moment.
The other was a punishment sentenced out by Celestia herself, and she actually came to see the spell performed herself. The one who was receiving the punishment was her nephew. Prince Blueblood had made a promise to her aunt if he ever mistreated a mare he would have himself turned into one. He meant this as a unserious joke, but Celestia had other plans. I remember it like it was yesterday.
“Welcome to the-.” I began as normal. Until I noticed who had walked through the shop door. “Your majesties.” I said with a bow. It was none other than Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Prince Prick, I mean Prince Blueblood. As they signaled me to rise.
“Well if it isn’t the legendary Gene and the family business.” said Celestia as I blushed a little. “Luna told me all about you and your history, but I only have a few questions.”
“As do I.” Luna chipped in. As Prince Blueblood had his head down in shame.
“First question,” Celestia said as I braced myself for anything,”Did you really cast that spell?” as she pointed towards my cutie mark.
“Technically speaking I did, but at the same time I failed it. There was an accident when I casted the spell. Instead of fully changing my “special parts”. I startled myself when I felt the spell change my special parts and in turn I merged them.” I answered in the simplest of ways.
“Another question, and pardon my rudeness what happened to the male part.” asked Luna as Prince Blueblood and Princess Celestia looked at her funny.
“Oh, they removed it. It was only going to get infected and cause problems?” I replied that caused the two Princesses to have a million other questions and Prince Blueblood just sat there in silent shock.
“May I ask can you and how you are able to reproduce, if able?” asked Celestia.
“First, yes I can reproduce. When I merged my reproductive organs together the male sperm sack sits behind my womb, so not only am I able to have foals I could also make foals. If I were to have sex naturally, the way the male sperm sack is positioned in my body I could accidentally impregnate myself, while being impregnated again by a male, and to top it all off I don’t have an estrus cycle and I’m always open.” I replied.
The three were lost in their own shock for a minute. “Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Prince Blueblood are you guys okay?” I asked. The three shook their heads back into reality.
“Thanks for your time, but we have a certain request.” Celestia spoke up.
“What is it that I could do for you today?” I asked.
“Prince Blueblood is going to be given a lifetime punishment for scaring off several mares at the last tea event.” Celestia said as she smiled slyly at the prince. “Can you cast the spell, we will pay for it like those who had done it before.” As I was trying to figure out was spell she was talking about, it dawned on me which spell she was talking about and I simply nodded.
“First he will needed to be asleep for the transformation as the transformation is incredibly painful if done while the patient is awake. Secondly I will need about three hours. Finally I need you two to keep casting a spell which I will give to you later.” I stated.
“Nephew I believe you are going to be asleep for a couple hours.” Celestia said as she lit up her horn and Prince Blueblood looked up in horror. As she casted a sleeping spell on him and he was out cold.
“Bring him to the back.” I said as Celestia levitated him to the backroom. In the back there was a whole lot of things back there because all of our inventory was either in the shop, or underneath us in the basement. Also this is where I performed our limited time offer. On the ground there was a carving of my cutie mark engraved into the stone. “Place him in the middle. Okay I need full concentration.” I said as I lit up my horn and began to work. First I started with the internal organs. I moved some stuff around and also got rid of something. I also added the new reproductive organs. Then we went outside. I shrunk him a little to accompany his new skin. Next was to make him or should I say she physically appealing. Finally I had to find the spell and give it to the princesses. The whole processes took about an hour to an hour and half. Nothing to big.
“Why do we need this spell?” asked Celestia
“If there is a negative reaction to the spell in her new form, you need to cast this spell as soon as possible, or she could very well die.” I stated.
“What negative reactions?” asked Princess Luna.
“Cramping, hair loss, magic fatigue, migraines, vomiting, and bleeding.” I stated. Thee two princesses just sat there in an awkward silence.
“One more favor.” Princess Celestia said.
“In a year can you speak with Princess Twilight, I’m sure she would love to meet you.” Princess Celestia said.
“Sure, but why?” I asked.
“She’s a scientist, and she loves to study stuff like your natural state.” Princess Celestia said. I shrugged my shoulders, and I agreed that I would meet up with the Princess of Magic. They left and paid the 4000 bits for the service.
As we entered the shop, it was packed to the brim with shoppers and tourists, again. Ever since our parents died, business was booming through the roof. The tourists were so interested that a shop could supply this many customers day in and day out. The shoppers and the tourists were also in love with how fair priced our items were, and how it made them feel closer to home. It also didn’t help that we were built next to the old library that Tirek burned down, so the tourists can see the castle.
There were only two really popular things to do in the shop. First is that you want to see the castle without having to make an appointment. You could see the castle in all its beauty, but you still needed to make an appointment if you wanted to see the inside of the castle. The other reason why you came this far out was to see me. Mainly scientists did this. They were always so interested in how in the hell I was able to merge instead of eradicate my reproductive organs.
That’s enough about the shop. Now I had spice wait outside for a moment while I handle my job real quickly. After about 20 minutes or so, I had practically made a profitable amount of bits in the short amount of time.
“Spice. You can come in now.” I said from inside the shop. As she did she was in utter shock as to what she had witnessed. All around her were knick knacks, carriages, spellbooks, candies, and other goods.
“W-Wow.” she said.
“Yeah, my siblings and I get that a lot.” I said blushing slightly. “Actually, George should be here watching the register. Anyways it’s just about closing time. I just came here to see if George was here, but he is apparently out and about.” I said as I closed up shop for today. I walked Spice to my home.
“We’re here.” I announced. Spice merely sat there dumbfounded. Before sat a simple two story cottage with no other homes insight for at least a good 3 miles. The house was painted a red color with white trims along the outsides. There were four windows in the front with the same pattern on the left and right of the house. Nothing to special other than the sheer amount of land our family owns.
“Where is every pony?” I asked. Then a thought occurred to me ‘Well maybe they were making final deliveries at the shop’. As I opened the door I walked in and let spice in. Then I flicked on the lights.
“SURPRISE!!” said my siblings as they startled the living hell out of both us. ‘Oh yeah, my birthday’ I thought to myself.
“Happy Birthday Gene!.” they both said as I blushed.
“Aww, thanks guys,” I said as I hugged them both.
“So who’s your friend?” asked Angel pointing at Spice.
“Oh. Angel, George meet Spice. Spice meet Angel and George.” I said as I introduced Spice to my siblings.
“Nice to meet you Spice. Any friend of Gene is a friend of mind.” Angel said as she shook hooves.
George on the other hand was at a loss for words. In front him stood the prettiest mare he had ever seen. He couldn’t even put simple words together. I shook my hoof in front of his face a couple of times, but to no avail he was still lost in his love drunken state.
“Well the non-existent pony over there is my brother. George introduce yourself.” I said. There was a black blur and George was gone.
“Ugh. I thought he was supposed to be more mature than that.” I said giving up on him.
After singing the birthday song and opening a few gifts, we were starting to get to the end of the ‘party’. We were getting to the last gift. When Angel stopped me before I opened it.
“Hold on. George wanted to see you open his gift,” Angel said as I happily obliged, “GEORGE!!! GENE IS ABOUT TO OPEN YOUR GIFT!!”
“WAIT!!! I’M COMING!!” yelled George. As the same black blur appeared, and George sat with the biggest and stupidest looking smile on his face staring right at me. “Okay, you can open it now.”
Author's Note
Allow me to try and set the tracks straight. Gene is a hermaphrodite. A hermaphrodite is a species of animal with both reproductive organs. There are over 66,000 species of them so they are rather common, but not extremely. An example of this is a snail. Another thing is that I am not a scientist by any person standards. Also when Gene casted the gender swapping spell in the last chapter and fused his/her organs together was only to add an interesting twist to the story. I know exactly should have happened. Gene's reproductive organs should have been destroyed, disintegrated, no more, but I wouldn't have a rather complex story now wouldn't I.
To the second problem. How in living hell are ponies supposed to hold a basketball. Well considering the fact that ponies can hold various objects in their hooves such as apples, books, and even bouncy balls. They should have no problem holding a basketball.
Sorry about not summing up his last chapter. I totally forgot to put author notes at the bottom of the first chapter. If there are anymore questions that you need me to sum up then instead of being confused comment and ask.
Enjoy this chapter.
Promotions and Unfortunate Events
I was ecstatic. In the box contained a silver pin. On it read “Manager: Gene”. I knew my brother was leaving for college, but it failed to register that he would give the shop to me. I always thought that he would give it to my sister.
“Gene, Gene, Gene!” my brother said waving his hoof over my face. That’s when I came back down into equestria. I tackle hugged him.
“THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!” I exclaimed with the excitement of a young filly receiving her cutie mark. My brother was probably hoping I would faint or something along those lines. Instead he was the one on the floor slightly dazed by what was going on around him. He was beginning to pass out until I hugged him again.
“Calm down. You’re gonna blow a magic fuse, again.” Angel said as I took a quick look around the room. Then I noticed a flame on the tip of my horn.
“R-Right.” I said embarrassingly as I put out the flame.
“Seeing as you put more work into the shop than I do you deserve the right to the own the shop. Also it doesn’t help that I am leaving next week.” said George as he coward in fear when I tried to hug him again. It was true that I wore my heart on my sleeves. Any chance I had to work in the shop I took it. I know that you think that makes me a no life, but on the contrary ponies love my enthusiasm and my willingness to work my ass off. I also made a couple million bits off of pure customer services. “Gene, there are a couple things you need to do to get ready.” stated George.
“What?” I asked.
“You need to inform your employees that there‘s a change in office.” said George. “Another thing you must do is, hire a new carriage repair man.” said George.
“What’s wrong with Mr. Gallops?” I asked.
“He retired after he nearly died last week, remember.” said George. As I vaguely remember a shopping cart almost ran him over. Then to top it all off he had a heart attack due from shock. It was almost as if death was hunting him exclusively. Then in the hospital he was shocked with a lightning bolt. Either Mr. Gallops was the luckiest pony alive, or the unluckiest pony alive.
“Oh, right.” I said. “But he was the best mechanic. How in the world am I supposed to get a pony to top his handy work, show up to work, can do attitude.” I said sadly.
“You're asking me, Manager.” said George slyly as he went back upstairs to his room.
“Hhhh. I need time to think about this.” I sighed.
“You know we need to go pick up your glasses tomorrow. If you finish your homework we could just hang out tomorrow. I never get to hangout with you one on one. Also you still haven’t open my gift.” Angel said as she gave me a small rectangular package. As I opened the small box my eyes lit up for the second time tonight. Inside there was a watch. It was silver. The rim of the watch was black. The numbers on the watch were gold, and the arms were a silver that matched the rest of the watch. Carved in the back was my full name. The name was also colored in gold.
“W-WOW!” I exclaimed as I hugged my sister. “Where on earth did you get this?”
“Well I knew how much you wanted a watch with your favorite colors on it, but when I went out to look for one, they simply didn’t have one. So I went to a watch shop and had one custom made. It’s waterproof, and I had the pony at the shop put a slight magic enhancer in it.” she said as I hugged her Again as I put the watch on. The magic enhancer was doing it’s job. I felt a slight jolt in my energy as I was able to move around faster and my horn’s magic glowed brighter. “If anything happens to the watch all you have to do is give it to shop. I had made sure I had gotten a lifetime warranty.” stated Angel.
“Thank you, so much.” I said as I realized that I probably should walk my friend home. “Spice, I think I should walk you home. It’s only polite.” I said as I turned my attention to my friend. She was nearly sleeping as she was awoken when she heard her name.
“Thank you.” she said politely as we left the home.
As we entered Ponyville, there was chaos. No not Discord’s chaos. A different kind of chaos. Panic. There was a fire raging on one of the buildings. Smoke was fogging the sky. It was hard to breathe and the amulet bearers were trying to help in anyway possible.
“What the?” I asked as my lungs were filled with the scent of smoke. Luckily for Spice her nose was unable to smell at the moment due to it being broken right now. That’s when Spice realized where the fire was coming from. She ran as fast as she could towards the fire. “SPICE! WAIT UP!” I yelled at her as she was sprinting.
There were a lot of orphan girls moving out of the burning area. Some were being ushered by nurses because they were burn or having really bad asthma attacks. That’s when Spice knew one of the girls being ushered by one of the nurses.
“Feather Brain!” Spice said with a heavy sigh of relief. As she examined her over. She noticed that one of her wings was scorched and there were burn marks all over her. Her wing was completely black. Spice helped the nurse elevate her back to her legs. She looked like she was completely scared
“Pip... She’s still in there.” she said pointing at the fire. She was shivering as if she had seen a ghost. Spice throughout all common sense at that moment and ran in after her. “Spice!!” Feather Brain yelled at her, but she was too late she had already enter the death trap.
I was watching in utter shock and silence. I decided that I would watch from a safe distance. I casted an x-ray spell and a hearing enhancer. I saw that she was struggling to find her friend under the bright burning flames. I saw her friend, and she was hanging in there, but she wasn’t going to be their for long if we don’t hurry. ‘I need to get my spellbook.’ I thought. Luckily for me the shop wasn’t too far from here, but I still had a top of ten minutes maybe less. I ran as fast I can towards my shop. When I grabbed the front door of the shop I had to quickly unlock it with my magic. I ran to the back and grabbed my spell book. I quickly ran back with it in my magical grasp. By the time I got back I saw that Spice and her friend were at the window. Spice noticed me.
“Gene what’s the plan!” said Spice as Pipsqueak face hoof, but immediately winced in pain.
“I hope you don’t mind getting wet!” I yelled back. The amulet bearers were evacuating the orphan girls out of the burning area.
“Haha. That’s what she said!” yelled Spice as the two were laughing like hyenas. I shook my head and giggled to myself, but I quickly regained my focus.
I turned, my very well organized, spellbook to the weather section. Then I closed my eyes and began reciting the spell, “Rain Rain come my way. Now take away the drought at bay. Until hell’s torch is put back at bay.” I whispered under my breathe as rain clouds appeared and it began to rain hard. When I opened my eyes I saw that the fire was quickly being subdued. As I noticed that my watch was glowing. ‘What do you know.There really is a magic enhancer in this watch.’ I thought to myself. As I walked over to the blackened building, I saw Spice with her tiny friend on her back carrying her out of the building.
“Spice,” I said as I hugged her.
“Oww! Hey watch it!” yelped Pipsqueak.
“Oops. My bad. Spice that took...” I said back as I looked at my friend like she was my hero.
“Balls. I know. Now can you turn off the rain now, I believe the fires out.” she said pointing at the weather. I was about to when a nurse approached us took Pipsqueak from Spice.
I magically teleported an umbrella. “I don’t really have the magical energy right now.” I said when the magic fatigue caught up to me.
“Really because you just teleported an umbrella like it was no-.” said Spice.
“OOH!! SHIT MY SPELLBOOK!!” I exclaimed as I levitated it towards me. “Phew that was close.” I said panting.
“Lemme guess. Magic Fatigue.” Spice said.
“Ding Ding... we... have... a... winner.” I said panting holding my spellbook in my hoof. That’s when the princess of magic approached us. We both immediately bowed.
“Rise, The others and I would like to speak to both of you at my castle.” said Princess Twilight.
“Yes... my... liege.” I said still panting from my magic fatigue.
“Yes Princess Twilight.” Spice said with a bow.
As we entered the castle, I had an odd feeling. The feeling of being watched. That’s when I realized that the amulet bearers had their attention fixated on me. The blue one, Rainbow Dash, and the pink one, Pinkie Pie, both had the same confused look on their faces as if they had just seen a ghost. The white one, Rarity, had a look of intrigue and question on her face. Then there was the shy one. Fluttershy, who looked like she was going to puke from shear stress. Then there was Applejack who was trying to look everywhere but at me. Then there was the Princess. Her face was priceless. She was so confused to the point that she couldn’t form words at the current moment. Then their was her dragon who was trying to bring her back down to reality.
Finally Twilight had snapped back into reality. “Okay. Umm... Let’s start with Spice.” began Twilight, “THAT WAS STUPID BEYOND BELIEF!! DO YOU KNOW HOW BADLY YOU COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED!!”
“Yeah, That’s even riskier than anything I’ve ever done and I’m the extreme one.” chipped in Rainbow Dash as the other four nodded their head.
“But you did a save a life today. Spice you pulled something off that any of us would have ever done in their entire lives without thinking it over. For that we give you our thanks.” said Twilight.
“Yeah! That was awesome,” said Pinkie Pie excitedly.
“I’ll will say that was rather impressive even if it was rather reckless,” said Rarity.
“Same here.” said Applejack as her eyes were still avoiding me. Rainbow Dash just nodded.
“Good Job.” said Fluttershy said quietly. As Spice just blushed.
“Spice you are free to go you will be rewarded later this week.” said Twilight. Spice waved to us goodbye and went on her merry little way. “Now on to you.” said Twilight.
“I’ll take it you all have questions.” I said. They all nodded. “I’ll also take it you are confused as well.” I said as they all nodded. “Hhhh. Fine.” I sighed.
“Start with how you ended up like this?” asked Twilight as the others nodded.
“Well. I was young. I found this spellbook. I read a spell under subsection gender, line 34b, spell name gender warp or gender swap,” I said levitating the book to show them the spell, ”I read the spell. I began the metamorphosis. I got startled and stopped it when it began changing certain areas. I still don’t remember what happened, but when I awoke my areas were merged together. They had to remove the male area though do to fear of infection.” I said. The six of them were shocked at how organized the presentation was.
“One how did you present that so precise, and what do you mean by merged.” asked Rarity who once thought that she had an idea what I was, but was now completely lossed. As the others all were just as lost as her, even Twilight.
“Okay, I’m a business owner and I sell my life story for a small amount of bits. Also when I mean merged I mean I can A: get pregnant or B: get some other pony pregnant.” I said as the others had their jaws dropped to the floors. As I noticed them shake themselves back into reality, they were either lost at this point, or had the look of a thousand questions.
“That’s sad.” said Rainbow Dash as the others scolded her. “What it’s true.” she explained as the others scolded her harder as she just shrugged them off.
“How much money do you make?” Pinkie Pie asked as the four change the directions of their scowls to Pinkie Pie. Her hair deflated as she sulked.
“Sadly we are a respectful business, but I will say money is not of concern to me.” I said flatly.
“What do you mean not of concern.” said Applejack.
“Can we um change the subject?” I asked.
“Fine, but can you at least put it into perspective.”
“Sure. I could build this castle 20 times over burn them all to the ground and still have enough to live out my life and then sum.” I said as they all had their jaws wide open, “Now any questions about my biology or are we going to ask questions about my personal life.”
“Okay back to the whole pregnancy thing. I understand how you could get pregnant. Which I’m only guessing is a womb, but where does the sperm come from?” asked Twilight.
“Located directly above my womb is a sack. In it is filled with sperm.” I said as the others nodded their heads.
“Umm... Not to be rude. Wouldn’t that put you at risk for umm... self impregnation. So how would you umm “release pent up stress”.” Fluttershy said softly as they all had that look on their face like “I was going to ask, but I did not want to make this anymore awkward than it needs to be. I on the other hoof could not hear her.
“Excuse me what was that I couldn’t hear you?” I asked.
Fluttershy was going to speak when Rainbow Dash, “How do you mastrubate safely.” as all four of the others scowled as she chose to ignore them.
I was blushing at the color of a tomato at the sound of the question. “Well I... umm... I umm... don’t.” I squeaked out.
“So wait you’ve never touched yourself !?” asked all of them simultaneously. As my blush soon went from red to blue.
“HOW!?” they all asked again.
“Well... umm... My... umm... umm... “organs” act like a umm... boner sort of.” I said with a shrug.
“Umm... You're free to go we all need to umm... think about whatever the hell just happened.” Twilight said as she pointed to her blacked out friends on the floor. Their noses were bloodied slightly which was odd. With a shaky nod I left.
“Spice.” I said as I hugged my friend in a recovery room with pipsqueak.
“Gene where have you been. It’s been like 4 hours.” Spice said.
“Umm... Long talk.” I said, “So how are you friends doing.”
“Not great. Pipsqueak passed out when we gave her to the nurse and Feather Brain is going to have to learn to fly again. AGAIN!” said Spice
“That sucks. Umm... I was wondering if you want to stay at our place.” I said, “Seeing as your “home” was burned to the ground.”
“Sure, but when they rebuild it I’m going back.”
“Angel, George can I speak with you both in the kitchen.” I immediately said as I immediately walked through the door. As my siblings came down and we were in the kitchen.
“Where have you been?” asked George.
“Yeah.” chipped in Angel.
“Well we went to Spice’s home.” I began, “When we got there it was on fire.”
“WHAT!?” they said in unison.
“Yeah and she’s out of a home, so I thought that she could stay here until further notice.” I said.
“Are you two okay!?” asked Angel.
“Yeah we’re fine, heck we even save the day.” I said with a smile.
“Lemme guess, rain spell.” said George.
“How did you know?” I asked.
“Uhh... it mysteriously started raining out of nowhere. IN THE MIDDLE OF JULY!!” said George as I winced.
“Sorry I was in a panic so I casted a spell that would work, but it worked a little too well.” I said.
“Okay, but that still doesn’t explain why you were gone for four hours.” said Angel.
“Then the amulet wearers or Princess Twilight and the Elements of Too Many Questions congratulated us, and questioned me like I was an alien.” I said.
“Oh, that makes sense. WAIT! YOU GOT TO TALK TO ANOTHER PRINCESS!!” Angel exclaimed, “Aww... I wanted to come.”
“Anyways, Spice will have to sleep with you- I mean sleep in your room.” George said as he blushed with embarrassment. ‘I am so masturbating about this later’ george thought as he turned and walked to his room.
‘Sick bastard’ I thought as I noticed how obvious his dirty thought was. “Allow me to show you to my room Spice.” I said as I we walked up the stairs. My brother is one of my favorite ponies in the world he has his down sides. One of them was that he was a pervert. Another is that he thinks he’s a ladies man. “Psst... Spice between me and you don’t go into my brother’s room.” I whispered to spice as she nodded.
When I opened my door, Spice’s eyes burned. She rubbed her eyes and it took her a good five minutes to adjust to the brightness. What she saw stunned her again. Everything in the room was gold, silver, or black. The walls were gold and highly reflective of the sun’s glows. There was a silver bookshelf with tons of spellbooks on it. The soft rug beneath them was black. Their was a gold and silver dresser. On the ceiling was a large image of my cutiemark. There was a rather large bed. It was gold with black pillows and a silver comforter. There was an alarm clock on the dresser. There was a large stuffed animal. It was a golden dolphin the size of myself.
“Welcome to my humble lamode.” I said sarcastically.
“Wow.” Spice said.
“Over there is Mr. Snuggles.” I pointed at the oversized stuffed animal, “Behind him is a futon that is where you will sleep.” Spice looked at the couch that turned into a bed. As she layed on it, she felt as if she was laying on a cloud. As I let Spice lay there in lala land I thought to myself. ‘Aww... damn it I have to go to the spa tomorrow. I hate the spa. The only reason I go is because my sister goes and even then I hate that. Maybe I can convince her to do something else.’ Being a semi-tom coltish in nature, I disliked going to the spa.

If you haven't noticed by now then allow me to put the questions to rest. This is in the same universe as Snails Spicy Secret so same rule 63 tags still apply to Snails, Feather Weight, and Pipsqueak.
Enjoy the Chapter.
The Dream, a Challenge, and an Outfit
I was running. All I remember that I was running, but from what. I couldn’t look back because if I did it would catch me. Then I tripped. I fell down and turned around to see the monster. It was an octopus? At this point, I was officially lost. How in the hell is their an octopus on land? It’s tentacle grabbed my leg and dragged me towards it.
“Oh, I’ve finally got you.” said the octopus.
“Please don’t eat me.” I said whining.
“Now why in the world would I do that,” said the octopus as I gulped, “No all I want is some... fun.”
I shivered as I asked “What kind of fun?”
As it’s tentacles crept closer. “Oh you’ll see...” said the octopus.
I was awoken by the sound of the alarm clock. ‘What a weird dream.’ I thought. That’s when I noticed a wet sensation located at my nethers. ‘Please. Please. Please. Don’t be pee.’ I thought. As I sniffed the air it didn’t smell like pee. In fact there wasn’t even a yellow stain indicating I peed. I noticed another thing about the liquid. It was somewhat sticky. I realised what it was immediately. ‘Oh God. I couldn’t have had a wet dream. Nah.’ I thought blushing as I noticed that Spice was looking at me and blushed too.
“I see that you enjoyed your dream.” Spice said sarcastically trying to fight off a giggle.
“Shut up!” I said as she fell on the floor laughing. “Oh come on. You know what I think I’ll go take a shower.” I said defeated.
“I promised not to tell,” she said as I sighed with relief, “If you share what happened in your dream.” As I turned into a pony tomato.
“Well... Umm... their was umm... an octopus.” I replied.
“Wow and I thought I was a pervert.” Spice said as I glared at her.
“Anyway I need to go get ready for today,” I said with a slight annoyance in my voice, “So what do you plan on doing today.”
“Oh, Umm... My job I guess.” she said with a shrug.
“What do you do?” I asked.
“I’m a model for Rarity. I also help her with specific materials.” Spice said as I gagged at the thought of modeling. “Well, not everypony is a athletic ruffian.”
“What are you saying?” I asked.
“It would probably kill you to put on any kind of formal attire.” she stated.
“Is that a challenge?” I asked.
“If you could do all the things I have to do on regular basis. Then I’ll be your slave for the day.” Spice said as I nodded.
“If I lose.” I said as I put my contacts in.
“Then you have to go with me to the dance next week and you have to wear a dress there.” Spice said as I almost swallowed my toothbrush.
As I gulped I said, “Fine.” The agreement started after I go hangout with my sister. Speaking of which. I wonder what we are doing today.
“Here you go.” said the pony at the front desk. We thanked him and we left the store. I took off my contacts and put them in my saddle bag. I them inspected my new glasses. They were silver and the lens shape was circular. I put them on. I could see again and this time it wouldn’t burn my retinas every time a piece of dust flew on my eyes.
“So, how do you like your glasses?” asked Angel.
“I love them. The pain is gone and I don’t have to poke myself in the eye.” I said. Angel smiled. She knew how much it pained me to put on the contact lens. “So what did you want to do today?” I asked.
“Lunch, We have to find something nice to wear for your job now. You’ve got to look good you're the manager now.” she said as I sighed.
“Okay.” I said. After lunch, we went over to the Carousel Boutique. That’s when it failed to register that Spice work there. Which wasn’t typically a problem, until I remembered our challenge. We had a talk until we reached the place.
Then she popped the question. “Gene, female or male?” asked Angel as we entered the store.
“Huh?” I asked
“Male or Female.” she asked again.
“Why?” I asked.
“If you had to choose. Male or female. What would it be?” She said making the question more understandable.
“I don’t understand why I have to choose.” I said
“Well we have to find a suit or a dress. So male or female.” She said as she opened the door to the boutique.
I needed time to think about my answer. I really don’t like wearing a dress as we experimented last year. I especially don’t like wearing a suit. They’re usually too tight for me anyway.
“Well... I could... umm....” I stuttered.
“You don’t know don’t you.” said Angel sarcastically.
“Welcome to the Carousel Boutique, Gene and..” Rarity began.
“Angel.” answered as she shook Rarity’s hoof.
“Well then how may I be of service.” Rarity said. ‘Geez. She’s good.” I thought.
“Gene needs something to show that Gene is the manager.” said Angel. Rarity replied with a nod. “Do you think you could help us with that.” said Angel. Rarity looked at me as if she was already giving me outfits in her head.
“Of course I can darling, but first I need to get an idea of what you want Gene.” said Rarity as she and my sister turned to look at me. As I sat there speechless for a moment and an idea came to my mind.
“Can you make a top half a nice dress shirt with a bow-tie and the bottom a pleated skirt with my cutie mark on it.” I said as Rarity nodded with a smile on her face. Angel was confused, but quickly realized why ordered it like that. As Rarity wrote it down, she realized that she was missing something.
“Excuse me, Gene. What colors?” Rarity asked.
“Gold, Silver, and/or Black. Please. Thank you.” I replied as she wrote it down. She told us to come back in three days and the order should be ready. As we left the shop, Angel said she had to go do more adult things, and we parted ways. Just in time too, the challenge was about to begin.
