ERT! ERT! ERT!

Aurora immediately shut off the alarm on her phone, long used to waking up in an instant. She had set it to 8:00 A.M. She had a big day ahead of her. Or night, as it were. She got up and went to the bathroom. She stood in front of the toilet and relaxed her bladder, still half asleep.

Aurora's eyes widened as urine streamed down her legs, "Aw, piss!" She immediately stopped peeing and knelt down, grabbing some toilet paper. Still gotta get used to pissing sitting down. She thought as she cleaned up the urine on the floor.

She sat down this time, and peed correctly. She sighed after she finished her business and started the shower. Before she went in, though, she grabbed a razor that she had borrowed from Pinkie Pie last night( why Pinkie was up that late, Aurora would never know.).

Just my armpits. Nothing else. She thought before starting to shave the hair underneath her arms. Her skin was more or less the same color as the short hair that covered her body, so she wouldn't have to worry about it looking weird.

She finished and entered the shower, hanging to edge while she adjusted the water temperature. She washed but stayed in the shower, a bad habit of hers. Still, it gave Aurora time to think. A stripper and a prostitute. Aurora shook her head in disbelief. I wonder what my parents would think...

Immediately Aurora's mood went down the tubes with the water. It's been, what...a year since I 'passed away'?

Aurora looked at her hands somberly. And now this. I'm a fucking pony. An anthro one, at that...

Aurora sighed. I mean...meeting the Mane Six is nice and all, but I want to see my parents again...or my girlfriend...or my other friends....

Aurora stayed in the shower for a few minutes more before forcing herself to shut off the water. She stepped out and dried herself. She looked at herself in the steamy mirror. Though...I hafta admit...I like being a female better than being a male... She punctuated this by poking at her breasts. Aurora giggled before grabbing her tooth brush.

After brushing her teeth, Aurora quickly got dressed and went to the living room of her apartment. There she had what was called a P-Box, which she found insanely hilarious. Unfortunately, ponies weren't big on violence, even in video games. Thus, the majority of the games that were out there were either racing or crafting games, neither of which really interested her.

Thank God I have some stuff on my iPhone. Aurora grabbed her charger and plugged her phone in. She grabbed a snack bar and started up XCOM EW. She started a new game. Hope I get a Mexican, so I can remake 'Humberto'. Aurora thought, giggling.

She actually did get a Mexican, and Aurora laughed as she renamed him. She managed to get to the Mutons when her stomach rumbled. She saved and pressed the home button, seeing that it was noon. She made herself a fruit salad. Ponies weren't big on meat, either. Luckily, the fruits and vegetables in Equestria was far better than on Earth.

She ate in silence, listening to her music. The earphones that came with her had fit moderately well, but the pony-made ones fit better. She couldn't use the Earth internet yet, but Twilight said she could theoretically do that. Aurora's mind wandered back to that moment.

Aurora knocked on Twilight's door in the castle. Said door opened and Twilight blinked at Aurora's unscheduled presence, "Aurora?"

"Hey Twilight...." Aurora fidgeted before continuing, "Can...Can I ask you a big favor?"

"Of course. Come on in," Aurora entered Twilight's room. Twilight spoke again, "What do you need?"

"..."

"Aurora?"

"I...Can...can you send me back? Back home?"

Twilight's face slowly turned into a grimace, "I...can't."

"But...you're really good at magic. I'm sure you can find Earth..."

"It's not a matter of finding Earth or not..."

Aurora looked confused, "Then what is it?"

"...You said you died on Earth, right?"

"Yeah...?"

"...You're body's dead. If I opened a portal and you stepped through, your soul would...disperse."

"...What?"

Twilight sighed, "Without a living body to go back to, your soul would evaporate into Earth's ether. You'd...disappear...forever."

Twilight felt like horseapples as she watched the hope in Aurora's eyes flicker and die. Tears fell out of her eyes, and she fought back sobs, "I-I'm...I'm s-stuck? I-I can n-never go home? I c-can never see my p-parents again?"

Twilight probably shouldn't have shaken her head, but she did. Aurora collapsed on her knees and bowed her head, sobbing openly now. Twilight walked to her and hugged her. Aurora sobbed into Twilight's shoulder. It was then Twilight noticed that Aurora had earphones in. Twilight's eyes trailed down the line and saw it disappear into Aurora's pocket. Twilight got an idea.

She waited until Aurora stopped crying then spoke, "Do you have the ponynet on Earth?"

Aurora sniffed, "Wh-what?"

"Do humans have ponynet?"

"...it's called internet, but yeah...Why?"

"...You may not be able to see your parents in person, but you can still talk to them."

"What?"

"I think I can get human internet on your phone."

"You...you can?"

"I think so. I'd need to see your phone for a few days, though..."

"Why?" Aurora asked as she got up. Twilight motioned her to a table. They both sat down.

Twilight thought how best to explain what she knew, "...Would you say your phone is a part of you?"

Aurora blinked, a bit confused, "I wouldn't say that...but I'd be very miserable without it..."

"Would you say you have a close bond to it?"

"Yeah. I take it everywhere. I even sleep with it."

"It has been noted that if a pony likes and uses an object enough, they can form a sort of...bond with it. In a sense, it becomes part of them. This is useful for tracking down missing ponies."

Realization dawned on Aurora's face, "Or connecting to other worlds...Are you saying-"

"That I can connect you to Earth? I think so... Nopony has done this before, so there's a good chance that it won't work. Or work very well."

"I'll take what I can get," Aurora was smiling widely, "Oh Twilight...Thank you!"

Twilight smiled back, "It's alright. You're my friend. And friends help each other."

That was two months ago. The good news was that Twilight was sure by now that she could get human internet on Aurora's phone. The bad news was she didn't know how long it would take; progress was slow.

But still, it gave Aurora hope. The hope of getting in contact with her friends and family again. Maybe even seeing them via streaming. To let them know she was alright.

To let them know I'm a pony now. And a girl. Aurora sighed. That would be a problem. She didn't know how exactly they would react. Hopefully she could easily convince her parents by showing them her phone and telling them stories that they both had.

Silver lining, Aurora. She wasn't dead. At least, not here. Plus, she met with the heroes of the show, albeit anthro versions of them.

She pulled out her phone again and started a new game, Terminator. Half the features was offline due to not having access to human internet, but it was nice to shoot Terminators.

Time passed, and it was time for Aurora to go.

Aurora got there half an hour early, another bad habit. She quickly found Scarlet, "Hey, Scarlet. I'm ready."

Scarlet Gem motioned her to the back room. When they got there, Scarlet turned to the grey pony.

“You ready for your first day on the job?” said Scarlet. Aurora nodded nervously, “Alright, here. These are your clothes. For now, you’re just dancing.”

Scarlet handed Aurora a lacy bra and a garter getup, complete with straps, belt, and leggings. Aurora quickly put them on and stepped out of the dressing room and into the EDM-blaring club. Aurora gulped as she ascended onto one of the stages.

Aurora could feel the stares of the stallions. She gulped again but started to dance. As she swung her hips, she grew less and less nervous. This was kind of...fun. She could do with different music but she could ignore that. She swung around the pole, smiling. She had no idea why this was fun.

“Hey!”

Aurora turned her head to see a stallion motioning her closer. Aurora walked to him, remembering to sway her hips. She squatted at the edge of the stage and looked at him with a hand under her chin, “Yyyes?”

“You’re new here, right?”

Aurora blinked, not expecting that question. She scratched the back of her head shyly, “Yeah...just joined today.”

“Well, I hope you stay. You’re really hot.”

Aurora blushed, smiling, “Thanks,” she blushed harder when he put a Buck in her garter strap. She winked at him and stood up.

“Hey! Over here!”

Aurora blinked at another stallion’s voice. She walked over to him. She stuck out her hips and put her hands on them, “What is it, sweetpea?”

He held up a few Bucks, “Lap dance, please.”

Aurora gulped, nervous again. She took in a breath and let out, “Alright.”

She turned around and sat on him, grinding her body against his. She rocked her hips side to side, stroking his legs. Aurora bit her lip as she felt his stallionhood. She wetted her lips, her sex drive taking over. She suddenly twirled around and straddled his lap.

Aurora pressed her breasts against his chest, “Y’know...we could have some fun~”

The stallion grinned, “Alright-”

“Onyx Hooves?!” a shrill voice came from the side.

They both turned to see a mare to the side. And she was pissed, shaking in rage. Aurora noticed something gleam on her hand and saw a ring on the mare’s finger.

Aurora quickly put two and two together. She got off of him, staring at him in astonishment, “You’re married?!”

The stallion shrunk down in his seat. Aurora stepped to the angry mare, “Miss, I’m so sorry-”

The mare slapped Aurora in the cheek. Aurora took a step back, clutching the stinging skin, “Bucking harlot!!!”

Aurora winced, her ears down against her head. The mare continued, “Harlots! All of you! Bucking whorses! You’re disgusting!”

Everypony had stopped what they were doing and staring at the unfolding scene, “I should have you hauled away and arrested for trying to seduce another mare’s stallion!”

“I-I-I didn’t know-”

“Cut the ignorance charade! You probably would’ve seduced him even if you had known! That goes for all of you! You’d bend over and lift your tails at the slightest provocation! Who do you think you are?”

“Ma’am,” Scarlet Gem walked up to the scene. The music had turned off. She was strangely calm, “I’m going to ask you to leave.”

“Oh, I’ll leave. After I give your whorse a piece of my mind!” The mare raised her hand again to slap Aurora. Fast as lightning, Scarlet grabbed the mare’s wrist. Scarlet grabbed the other wrist and held them at the mare’s sides, “Get your disgusting hands off of me!”

“I’m asking nicely. Take your stallion and leave. If you do that right now, we won’t press charges for assault.”

“I’m sorry?! Arrest me?! It’s you who should be in jail! Especially her!”

“She was just doing her job. The only two ponies at fault here are you and your husband. Keep a better lid on what your stallion does.”

“How dare you! Let go of me this instant!”

Scarlet glanced over the mare’s shoulder, “The way I see it, you have two choices. One, you can leave with dignity and never come back. Or, I could have the security that just arrived haul you two out of here. Your choice.”

The mare looked over her shoulder to see there were indeed two security guards behind them, “You little….this isn’t over.”

“Yes, it is. Choose now.”

“Fine!” Scarlet released the mare. The mare glared at her husband, “Onyx….we’re going to have a talk when we get home…”

The mare left, practically dragging the stallion away. Everypony didn’t move, trying to comprehend what had just happened. Velvet was the first one to speak, “Um...where’s Aurora?”

Scarlet grimaced. She raised her voice, “Sorry boys. We’re closing early.”

The dancers and Scarlet split up, looking for the newbie. Emerald was the one who found her. She was in the bathroom. Her mascara was running as silently cried. Her ears twitched at Emerald’s arrival, but didn’t say anything.

“...Aurora?”

“...am I a harlot?” Aurora didn't know exactly why, but being called a harlot...hurt. She'd rather be called a slut or a whore.

“Of course not!”

“...I was about to have sex with a stallion. For money. I think that makes me...a harlot.”

“Then I guess we ALL are harlots. And I’m find with that. I love sex, and if I make a few Bucks on the side, so what? Aurora...You shouldn’t be afraid of what other ponies think of you. That’s one of the first things you need to learn when you work here.”

“...what if I don’t want to work here?”

“...Then I guess we’d miss you. I mean, we hardly know you, but you seem like a nice mare. I’d love to be your friend.”

“...but I’m different.”

“So?”

“Really different.”

“Again, so? We’re ALL a little different here. You shouldn’t be afraid to show your true colors.”

Aurora looked like she was about to say something but thought better of it. She opened her mouth again after a while, “I do like dancing. I...guess I’ll stay here for a while.”

Emerald smiled, “I’m glad to hear that.”

Aurora still frowned, "I don't hear any music..."

"Yeah...we're closing early."

Aurora winced and sighed, "What a perfect first day."

"Nopony's mad at you, Aurora."

"You say that now, but when you get your paycheck and notice a full day without pay, you'll know who to blame."

"...well, I don't know about the others, but I don't mind. I blame that mare...! She hit you! Are you okay?"

Aurora touched her cheek, which was slightly red, "I'm fine." The damage is superficial.

Aurora sighed again and turned to Emerald, trying not to stare at the purple mare's chest, which was nude, "Might as well face the music. Or lack of..."

The two went out of the bathroom and found Scarlet. Velvet was with her. Aurora couldn't bring herself to look in their eyes, "Sorry..."

Scarlet raised an eyebrow, "For what?"

"For...forcing you guys to close early?" Why wasn't Scarlet mad? She made them lose customers.

"We'll survive a missed day. Are you coming tomorrow?"

Aurora blinked and looked up, "I...uh...yeah...I think I am."

"Good. Same time."

Aurora nodded and got re-dressed. She sighed as she went out the door. Silver lining, Aurora. She wasn't fired, so that was good. She got back to her apartment and sighed yet again. She was tired...

However, when she got into bed, she couldn't fall asleep. For some odd reason, she couldn't get comfortable.

Aurora knew why. She groaned and took off the blankets. Seeing that much breasts and bulges had got her worked up. Kinda hoped being a girl would curb my sex drive...apparently not...

She took off her underwear and started to touch herself. As she inserted her fingers into her increasingly wet tunnel, her worries drifted away. Silver lining, Aurora. Fapping as a girl is much better than doing it as a guy.

Aurora hummed in delight as one hand moved her fingers in and out while the other gently caressed her vulva. She smiled peacefully, sighing in content, "Mmmm..."

Aurora's fingers went faster, and her other hand went up to her clitoris, which was starting to show up, "Y-yeah...riiight there..."

Aurora breathed heavier and heavier, now starting to moan out loud, "F-fuck...That feels nice..."

Her fingers went faster, both the ones in her vagina and rubbing her clit. She eventually stopped thrusting in and out of her wet pussy and grabbed one of her breasts. The hand at her clit went faster and faster. Aurora was close, now. Very close.

"Oh God...Oh God oh God oh God ohGodohgodohgodOH GOD!!!"

Her legs locked straight, shivering as she mashed her clit in a rhythm as she came. Pure pleasure emanated from her vagina.

And then it was over. Aurora went limp, breathing heavily. Her limbs felt like lead but she managed to get back under the covers. She brought her hands up and smelled them, quickly falling asleep.
