The Flying Problem

Chapter 3: The Record

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

I could feel the clouds working their way backwards, this time though it was different – likely because there was 4 clouds now headed towards my already bulging flank. I could feel them pushing the other 6 that were already in there further backwards. As I gobbled down the last bit of cloud and turned my head to see what was happening, the only way I can describe it is someone had attached a small invisible helium tank to my butt because as I watched it was visibly getting bigger. Dash was in awe as well, I hardly ever saw her mouth gaping open in disbelief as it was now. She was just staring intently at it, her big round eyes transfixed on what was happening.

I moved one of my hooves onto my flank and gave it a push, it wobbled slightly as it expanded outwards and my tail was starting to get swallowed up by my cheeks, which were now starting to rise over my head. I could no longer roll over, my huge blubbery, but incredibly light cheeks now taking up a huge portion of the space behind me. As the last of the cloud went in and found a resting place in my titanic flank, I felt the expansion slow and eventually, come to a stop. It was an interesting feeling that I had never felt before. My ass was so huge now, so stupidly huge that I was going to have a hard time explaining this to anypony else, but it felt so incredibly light. I had no problem standing up, in fact I felt lighter than I did before I started. Even though it was originally a stupid prank from Dash, that had gone a bit crazy with the unexpected side effect of this stupidly big butt, it had actually worked.

‘So come on Dash, I gotta know – did I beat your record?’

‘Just’ She said, clearly dismayed that I had actually done it. ‘You got in there by about 10 seconds, I guess forcing those last clouds in all together really helped. Neat trick, I’m gonna have to try that someday if I ever do it again.’
‘So what do you think, can we try flying? That was the whole point of this right? That I would be light enough to get off the ground – I feel much lighter that I did before we started this!’

Dash suddenly had a look of regret on her face, which was morphing into panic. ‘Look Scoots, I’m gonna level with you, this kind of maybe started out a stupid prank to see how far you would go along with it. I never imagined that you were going to go all the way! Eating clouds can be pretty hard, not because they’re difficult to eat but really hard to digest, whole, like you did. Sure we could have broken them down but then you would have never beaten my time. I was also kinda curious to see if you could take it…’ She trailed off after this, clearly a little bit embarrassed about what she had done to me. At this point as well I was clearly annoyed, because my face showed it which is why she stopped talking. I was determined to make this work regardless.

‘Okay Dash, I get it was a stupid prank, but even though it was a stupid prank it seems to have worked in a weird, probably not intended by you, way? I mean I do feel lighter, even though this...’ at which point I pushed my bulbous behind, which again jiggled around. ‘may not be how it was intended to go, I still wanna try it.’

‘Alright if you wanna try it, start flapping!’

So I flapped…and flapped…and flapped. I closed my eyes and flapped as hard as I could. It was so much easier than before, I could feel my body rising, I wasn’t straining like I normally did. My flank was rising with me, its huge round shape, like 2 small wrecking balls attached to my body, was rising with me as well – in fact it was helping me gain lift. I felt the ground disappear beneath my hooves and then suddenly I opened my eyes, and I was level with Dash’s house, which is when I came bouncing back to reality.

I think the fact that I was, for the first time, flying under my own power was suddenly all too exciting and I was so happy that my whole body decided to lock up on me. I remember Dash telling me a while ago that happened to Fluttershy when she tried to fly while frightened, I suddenly felt my wings snap to my body and utterly refuse to move, no matter what I did. Suddenly I was plummeting towards the ground, butt first, which was rushing up towards me. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Dash trying to get to me in time, but she just couldn’t make it.
I hit the ground butt first, and lucky I did – all the clouds in there had given it a huge cushion with which to bounce against, not to say that it wasn’t painful, because well, it was. I felt my butt flex as the cheeks smooshed into the ground at high velocity, and then as the clouds in there still pushed back, flex again and bounce me up ever so slightly, and I toppled forward onto the grass.

‘Oh my gosh, are you okay!? What happened???’ Dash practically screamed with an obvious air of concern in her voice. ‘Are you hurt?’
‘Yeah a little’ I said, rubbing my flank, now starting to bruise slightly. Then a twinge of pain shot across it. ‘Actually, a lot – I think I need a nurse.’

‘Stay right there, I’m gonna get some help and we can get your across town to Ponyville hospital no problem, ohhh, I’m so sorry!’
All I could do now was lay there, rubbing my still huge tush until some help arrived. I was starting to admire its size, it was pretty big and I think if it wasn’t filled with clouds I could do some serious damage with it. The two great wrecking ball sized cheeks and my massive cutie mark stretched wide out from my body which had somehow retained its original shape, and now looked totally strange against the massive butt that seemed to be attached to it.

Suddenly Dash re-appeared. ‘I’ve got help, don’t worry it’s only Applebloom and Sweetie Belle, but 3 of us should be enough to get you across town. I’ve got something inside I could use as a stretcher so as long as we can get you onto it, we could be okay!’
Oh no, not my friends, anypony but them! I could have died of embarrassment at the thought of my 2 friends showing up and seeing me in the state I was in. I had no idea what they were going to say about my huge flank. Still, at least they might be impressed by my huge cutie mark!
