The Flying Problem

‘Dasssssshhhh!’ I wailed from under the house, it was still a pain to get her attention, especially with her house floating so high and me being all the way down here. ‘Daaaaassshhh, I’m here! Did you get the clouds?’

The front door opened slightly and I heard a muffled voice ‘Hey Sports! I’ve got em’ right here! Just gimme a few minutes to get them out the house! These things are super fluffy! Hope you didn’t eat much for breakfast!’ Dash shouted back, clearly she was struggling to gather up all the clouds in one go. The obvious came next: ‘Yeah actually, I’m gonna leave them right here – I’ll bring em down to you one at a time, okay?’
‘Sure, sounds good! So what’s the plan?’

There was a sudden whistling of wind as at her usual breakneck speed Dash flew from her doorway and down below, a little slower this time. Under her right arm she was hugging the largest, fluffiest white cloud I had ever seen.

It was about the size of clouds you mostly see in the skies of Ponyville, except maybe a little smaller – its most notable feature was it looked more…dense that the regular clouds, like it was packed tighter. Clouds were mostly water, but it looked like this one had a lot of water in it. I had no idea how water was going to help me fly, in fact I figure if anything it was going to weight me down. I figured Dash knew what she was doing. As Dash brought it closer I eyed it in more detail, certainly as I suspected before, similar in size to Ponyville clouds, which is about 2 ponies if they stood next to each other and spread their hooves and legs out. How was I going to eat that? Maybe she was going to grab chunks of it at a time, or perhaps these special clouds could do something else I didn’t know about? And 10 in 10 minutes? It didn’t seem possible judging by their size, but there you go.

‘Wooooahhh, where did you get that Dash?’

‘I had to fly preeeety far to find this baby, and the 10 others that are floating around in my living room. It wasn’t easy getting them all here, but you know how super awesome I am. Anyway the important thing is you’re here and so are the clouds. Ready?’

‘Of course! I can’t wait to fly with you Dash, in fact I think this is the most I’ve looked forward to anything – ever!’ I squeaked with excitement. Hah, I can’t believe how eager I was to try this.

‘Alright, well get ready, cos here comes cloud number 1! Open wide!’

I opened my gaping jaw and watched as Dash raised it over her head, now standing on her two hind legs, and brought it down to my awaiting mouth. I thought she might have at least maybe broken it up into more bite-sized chunks but nope. The entire thing was now entering my mouth and going down my throat with incredible speed. I could feel the entire cloud contorting to match the shape of my digestive track which felt oddly nice. I knew clouds were fluffy and could be pushed around a bit before they would break up but I didn’t think they could mould this much before breaking. Dash continued to push down onto the rest of the cloud and stopped just as the last little bit went down my throat.

‘Not bad! That one went down in just over a minute, but you’re gonna have to pick up the pace if you want to beat my record. Here comes number 2!’ Dash rocketing back into her house and then out again in a flash to get the next one. Once again the entire cloud was shoved, not forcefully, but hard – into my waiting open mouth. Again it contorted itself as I swallowed it down, chewing as hard as I could to try to break it up a bit before it entered into my stomach. This time, with the first cloud still inside me I could feel the new cloud pushing up against it. I could feel a shift happening as my body was battling for space, I had always been super thin so my stomach wasn’t that used to all this food (If clouds could be called food). Suddenly there was a shift, and I felt the clouds go backwards slightly.

‘Woah, seems like your body’s compensating for the clouds pipsqueak, ummm’ and Dash was smirking at this point ‘Do you wanna see how? Turn your head.’

As I looked round suddenly I noticed two, much larger, bulging butt cheeks that had suddenly appeared behind my back. My eyes widened as I took in my new found ass that had my body had decided to bestow upon me, it was jiggling ever so slightly as I rolled over to move it into a more comfortable position.

‘Do you wanna go on? I mean when I did this I didn’t quite have…that happen, but it should help you fly, you just might be a little….bottom heavy.’ There was definitely a snort as she said this, but I didn’t take it in at the time, I wish I had, and told myself to stop.

‘Of course I wanna go on, and I still have to beat your time! Give me cloud number 3!’

‘Alright, cloud number 3 coming right up!’

As cloud number 3 went in I could feel it working its way down like the others, then pushing the other 2 further backwards into my butt. It was the same for cloud 4…cloud 5…cloud 6, each one I consumed my body had to deal with somehow, and each time Dash shoved one of them down my throat I could feel my ass getting bigger and bigger. Oddly though, and this is probably what actually kept me going and why I didn’t get Dash to stop – was I could feel myself rising slightly off the ground. The light clouds that were filling me up were definitely having some effect, aside from giving me a huge butt, which was also stretching my cutie mark across my flank. I could feel it expanding with my butt, which was now a fair size, at least double what it was originally before Dash started stuffing me with clouds, maybe more. It was starting to look like somepony had stuffed 2 huge bowling balls inside each cheek. As I was pondering this Dash asked looked at the time so far, this was still a competition after all.

‘So 4 clouds to go, and you’ve got 3 minutes left – looks like you’re not gonna beat my record after all, haha. Still good try Scoots, but once again I’m the undefeated champion.’

‘Give me the last 4, all at once!’ I yelled, wolfing down the last bit of cloud. What a huge mistake that was going to turn out to be.

‘What, no way – there’s no Pony that could eat 4 of the clouds at once, but if you reeeaallly wanna beat my time – hold on.’

Dash whipped away back inside and pulled out the last 4 clouds, somehow, all tightly bound together under her arms. She had squished them together so she could keep a hold of them easy enough.

‘Are you sure about this? I’ve pushed them together pretty tightly. But once they’re in you they’re gonna want to expand outwards again and well…’ Dash looked over at my butt that she was clearly still in awe off, its two football sized globes glistening in the sun. ‘I don’t think you’re gonna have a hard time flying, just keeping your balance, heh.’

‘Come on Dash, I can take it – you know I can!’ Again another terrible mistake, I had no idea what these last 4 clouds were about to do to me.
‘Alright – here they come, open wide!’

It was a struggle, at first, the clouds entered my gaping mouth and Dash was really pushing as hard as she could, but as soon as her hooves let go and she was just pushing – the clouds started to expand again as she had said they would. My mouth was so full it felt like my cheeks were going to burst open any second, I knew I had to do something. With Dash pushing with all her might I worked my throat as hard as I could to start swallowing the clouds. You know when you take some medicine and it gets lodged in your throat and you have to keep drinking water to try to force it down, and how uncomfortable it is? Imagine that, but ten times worse, and no water to help you – just your idol shoving as hard as they can into your mouth trying to help you digest what you were trying to eat.

Slowly but surely though, the clouds started to go down my throat and into my belly. Clearly this was taking its toll, it was grumbling a lot and making its fair share of strange noises as the clouds went in. It was doing its best and I could feel the clouds as they were making their way through my body. I picked up the pace and worked my throat and stomach harder, I had totally lost track of time and I still had to beat Dash’s record which I was determined to do. If I could just get these last clouds through I knew she would be proud of me. It was this that was driving me on to digest what I had faster and faster. I could feel the soft, malleable clouds working their way through my body and inevitably…towards my flank.
