The Flying Problem

I could see both Applebloom and Sweetie Belle coming towards me, at first at a gallop, then a trot. Then they turned both their heads to face each other and I could see what was going through their minds. There was a few seconds of silence before I decided to break it.

‘Okay, you can say it! Yes, my butt is huge thank you very much – you can blame Dash for it.’

‘But how?’ Said Applebloom. ‘I don’t understand. How can your flank be so big but the rest of your body is…so normal?’

‘I don’t know, I think its something to do with how the clouds I’ve eaten have decided to make themselves at home. Look is Dash back yet? She said she was going to get a stretcher and you 3 could carry me across town to the hospital.’

But it was no good, I think the words were just a muffled noise to them – both of them were utterly transfixed on my flank, and my cutie mark.
‘Scootaloo, your cutie mark…it’s so…big. I mean it covers pretty much most of your already oversized flank now.’ Applebloom said in disbelief.
‘Yeah, I mean it’s so…large? I can say large right? Please don’t be mad’. Sweetie Belle quickly followed up with. ‘I mean I know we all wanted them so badly, and now we’ve got them, but you didn’t have to show it off that much’.

‘Do you think this was intentional? That I thought it was going to work this way? I thought I was just going to be made light enough to fly, but ohhhh no – another one of grand pranking master Dash’s hilarious jokes. I don’t think though she even meant for this to happen.’
‘Can I uh…oh man this is gonna sound odd, can I touch it?’ Said Applebloom. ‘It’s just it’s so…big, I wanna see how it feels.’
‘Okay, but just be gentle, its really sore.’

‘Ohhh’ she said, rubbing her hoof gentle against my oversized butt. ‘Feels kinda soft actually, you said its full of clouds? I think they are making it super squishy and kind of bouncy.’

‘Well don’t get too used to it, I’m hoping to get fixed up. Where is Dash anyway?’

And as if right on cue, Dash re-appeared carrying a makeshift stretcher. ‘Okay you two, we need to get Scoots onto this and then high tail it across town as fast as we can. I will go at the front and pull, you two take up the two rear bits and carry it from behind. Scoots can you get on?’
‘Sure, but I think I might need some help – just to lower down onto it so I don’t bruise myself further.’

‘Okay, just say when.’

I stood up, again light as a feather and shifted myself over sideways on top of the makeshift stretcher.

‘Dash, it’s kinda thin. You know my cheeks are gonna be hanging over the side as we go across town right?’

‘We can deal with that as we get there, okay both of you, lets help Scoots down – find something to grab onto. I’m pretty sure there is an obvious, large object we can grip fairly well.’

And suddenly I felt 3 pairs of hooves, all under my flank feeling up against it as they helped me lower down onto the stretcher. It felt kind of nice, actually. I was gently lowered on and then the 3 picked it up and took up positions around to cart me through town.

‘Wait, won’t Ponies see me?’

‘Look do you wanna get better and seen to by a doctor, or do you really care about if any other Ponies see you? Personally I’d want some help.’ Retorted Dash, you could see she was getting a bit impatient and wanted to get going.

‘Alright fine, just don’t go to faaaassssstttttt, woah!’

And we were off, going as fast as all their legs would carry them, and me by extension. As we made our way through Ponyville every pony we passed stared at me. It was quite a sight I guess. 3 Ponies carrying another on top of a makeshift stretcher, with me on top and my huge butt practically overflowing from each side. As Dash, Sweetie and Applebloom ran I could feel my huge butt jiggling behind them as the stretcher bounced up and down as they ran with it. My ass was digging slightly into it as they did, and I would have likely actually enjoyed it if it wasn’t bruised so much. I could feel it bouncing up and down, hard. I did try to have a few looks behind me but all I could see was my two huge ball-like cheeks bouncing up and down, with my tail going up and down with them. Across town we went, my butt bouncing around behind me as we went. I was so relieved when we finally made it to the hospital.

And that’s where we are now. The doctors said there is a simple procedure for getting rid of the clouds, this isn’t the first time they’ve seen this. Dash had things to do so had to go, kept apologising practically as she was walking out the door. Sweetie Belle went home to tell me parents and Applebloom offered to stay with me. She kept looking at me intently, and I just had this total look of anger and annoyance on my face. Finally she said…

‘I think we’ve found your flying problem…’

Urgh.
