The Phoenix's Guardian

I sat in the doctor’s office tapping my foot as I waited to be seen.

Sunset had been worried when I told her I was going to be missing the morning classes to go, but I was able to allay her concern, hopefully at least.

“Talisman?” A nurse called out.

I stood up and walked over to the door the man was standing at.

After getting all my vitals, I found myself sitting on an exam table waiting for the doctor. After only a few minutes, a woman with red hair and creamy skin entered.

“Hello, I’m Doctor Tenderheart. How are you doing today young man?” She asked.

“Doing okay other than these weird cramps in my stomach. Started happening last week and, while random, they haven’t stopped.” I replied.

“Okay then, go ahead and take your shirt off and lay down.” She said, making a couple of notes before pulling on exam gloves.

After I did so, she began to poke and prod my stomach.

“I’m not feeling anything obvious. Give me a moment to get an ultrasound in here.” Tenderheart said as she left the room.

As I lay on the table, another cramp hit. Fortunately I had a high pain tolerance that had carried over from my old life. Getting shot and hit with shrapnel is never fun.

About five minutes after she left, Tenderheart returned with a portable ultrasound machine and technician.

After plugging in and booting the machine up, the tech squeezed the gel out on my stomach making me jump.

“Can you not warm that stuff up a bit? At least to room temperature?” I groused, causing the pair to chuckle.

As she ran the wand over my stomach, the tech stopped and made an adjustment to the machine.

“Well this is strange.” She said.

I gave her a flat look. “That usually does not mean anything good.” I stated.

Tenderheart looked at the screen for a moment, then looked at me and then back to the screen.

“Talisman, do me a favor and drop your pants.” She said finally in a clinical tone.

I blinked for a moment, before shrugging and after the tech moved back, kicked of my boots and removed my pants.

“Underwear as well.”

I rolled my eyes and stripped down completely.

“Okay lay back down and spread your legs.” She said.

I raised an eyebrow. “What kind of hospital are you running here?” I said with a smile as I complied.

I then had to deal with the doctor feeling my bits. Quite uncomfortable to tell the truth.

“Well, Mr. Stryke. You have just become a medical anomaly.” She said after a few moments of examining my crotch.

I propped myself up on my elbows and raised an eyebrow.

“The cramps appear to be from you growing a uterus and ovaries.” Tenderheart said in a clinical tone that masked her confusion.

I blinked. “What?” Came my intelligent reply.

“You are growing female anatomy. I can’t even begin to explain how either.” She said.

I groaned as I feel back onto the bed. I could probably explain it, but telling a doctor that magic is responsible for me growing new plumbing is probably a quick way to get locked in a padded room.

“I understand that you attend Canterlot High?” She asked.

I nodded as I looked at her in confusion as she had the tech scan lower on my stomach.

After a moment she spoke up again. “And it appears that your male organs are unaffected.” She said, curiosity in her voice.

“So spontaneous intersex? How the hell is that even possible?” I asked.

“That I could not even begin to speculate. Though from what my sister, your school nurse Redheart has told me, and what I have witnessed myself when I went to the Battle of the Bands, I am open to the idea that magic may be to blame.” Tenderheart said.

I looked at her in shock before nodding. “It sounds like a reasonable deduction. I do have magic, though it is different than what you were witness to.” I explained.

Tenderheart nodded. “I figured. No one else at the school to my knowledge is having to deal with a change if gender. Any ideas as to why your particular magic would cause this?” She asked.

I thought for a moment. “Well, I started regularly cross-dressing about a month ago and I am more comfortable wearing my female clothes than my male ones. It could be that since my body is still going through puberty, my magic is just adapting my body to something I am more comfortable with.” I replied with a shrug.

“It is as good a theory as any.” Tenderheart replied. “I am going to schedule a series of follow ups every two weeks to monitor the changes. If it weren’t for the fact I would have to give up my license, I would ask if we could make this a case study. But I would be laughed out of the medical field for suggesting magic is causing this.” She said.

I nodded as I got dressed.

After going home and changing, I arrived at school just in time for lunch. Sitting at our usual table, I handed Sunset a salad I had picked up on the way in.

“So how did the visit to the doctor go?” She asked, the others looking on curiously.

“Well as it turns out I am growing new plumbing.” I said, pulling out my own salad.

The stares were expected and made me chuckle.

“So yes. At some point in the near future I will be sporting some new organs and all that it entails.” I said after a moment.

Fluttershy was the first to say something surprisingly. “Well, there goes some of the cuteness.” She said pouting

I raised an eyebrow.

“No futa?” I asked.

“No futa.” She said firmly, making Pinkie and myself laugh.

“So you are going to have both sets?” Sunset asked.

I nodded.

“Huh. That will be interesting to see you deal with.” She said with a smirk.

I bumped her shoulder with mine. “Brat.” I said.

“Yeah, but you still love me though.” She replied with a laugh.

“I do.” I said giving her a kiss on the cheek.

The rest of the day passed without incident.

Soon enough Sunset and I were at home, working on our homework as we ate dinner.

“So when were you going to tell me why you went to the doctor?” She asked.

“When I knew what was going on. Didn’t want to worry you unnecessarily.” I replied, meeting her teal eyes.

“Okay.” She said. “Though thank you for being honest when I asked how it went.”

I nodded. “Well, I knew for sure what the issue was, and since it is only mildly concerning, at least from a magic standpoint, I want you on this crazy path with me. Gonna need some support.” I replied.

“So it is your magic that is causing it?” Sunset asked.

“Best theory we could come up with. My doctor, Tenderheart is Nurse Redheart’s sister and she was at the Battle of the Bands. So she is in the know as it were.” I replied. “But everything is guess work at this point as to the how and why. It could be that since this body is still developing and that I find myself more comfortable when cross-dressing, that my magic decided to make my body on that I would be more comfortable in.” I said, a frown on my face.

“Did you not want to transition?” She asked.

“I have considered it before, but the thing is I would have liked to have had a choice in the matter.” I ground out. “That is what pisses me off.”

Sunset rested her hand on mine, which had clenched, shattering the pencil I was using.

Taking a deep breath, I opened my fist.

I scooped up the remains of the pencil and threw it in the trash.

As I turned to head back to the table, Sunset pulled me into a hug.

“We will get through this. You helped me when I needed it, so let me help you.” She said, resting her head on my chest.

I returned the hug and buried my face in her hair.

“Thank you.” I said simply.

Sunset pulled back slightly and looked at me before leaning up and kissing me.

The kiss was full of love and passion and deepened, our hands running through each other’s hair. Then one of Sunset’s hands moved the my chest to brace herself, and she squeezed the flesh, causing me to moan into her mouth.

Pulling back, we were slightly out of breath. Sunset looked to where her hand was and gently squeezed again, causing me to quietly moan again.

“Well that is different.” She said with a smile.

I nodded, not quite trusting my voice at the moment.

Sunset took a step back, and bit her lower lip for a moment.

“Do you think I could see them?” She asked nervously.

I nodded before removing my shirt, deciding to tease her a little, slowly unbuttoning the garment.

Finally opening the garment and letting jt hang loose exposed the slowly growing mounds of flesh. They weren’t anything to write home about, barely qualifying as an A-cup, but you could tell that they were breasts and not just pectoral muscles.

Sunset lightly touched them lightly, once more sending feelings of pleasure that I was quite unused to.

“Very sensitive I see. That might stop when they stop growing, or at least they won’t be as sensitive.” She said after a moment, stepping back and letting me button my shirt back up.

As we sat down, a thought came to me.

“I think I need to take a trip to Equestria.” I said causing Sunset’s head to snap up from her books.

“Why?” She asked.

“Because Rarity is good at making clothes, but I doubt she can enchant them.” I said.

“Okay, where are you going with this?” Sunset asked.

“Well, by the time this settles down, it will be summer.” I replied.

“And?”

I smirked wickedly. “Like you haven’t thought about how I would look in a bikini. Getting the Equestrian Rarity to enchant them would reduce any bulge and make it look normal. And only you and I would know what would lie beneath.” I replied.

Sunset gained a glazed look as she considered it and a slightly lecherous smile.

“You are really going to be in for it once I turn eighteen in this world.” Sunset replied once she came back to reality.

I laughed at her response. My eighteenth birthday in this world was a month and a half before hers, and we had made an agreement that anything beyond making out and some heavy petting would wait until then. There had been a few times that both our resolves had been tested, but we were able to pull ourselves back.

This summer would prove to most entertaining.
