Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Twilight Sparkle should have been asleep, but there were far too many butterflies in her tummy. She felt nerves all over, and all she could do was think back to her magic test she had completed a couple days ago. It was a lot harder than she expected, and she knew she messed up at some points. She studied and tried her best, but the test was just far too much. Her best wasn’t enough.

So she wondered outside to get some fresh air, trying to take her mind off the stressful test. There was a fun tune in the air that helped calm Twilight Sparkle down a little. She had strolled around, green grass underneath her hooves, until she stumbled upon a bowl. It was large and a bright pink colour, and when she peaked inside she saw that it was full of liquid.

“Hmm,” Twilight Sparkle murmured as the urge to taste the drink overtook her. She dipped her head into the bowl and took a few small licks, enjoying the bitter taste. She had never tasted anything like it before, and she wanted more. She opened her mouth open wide, letting the liquid pour into her mouth, the warm drink coating her throat. Almost instantly she felt something take over her, and it wasn’t stress this time. She felt a little dizzy, and a soft laugh left her lips when she stumbled slightly on her feet. She fell to the grass, landing on her butt, and felt a bubble rising in her throat. A small, soft bubble left her lips, and then another one, and then one more. Twilight Sparkle chuckled at the scene.

Twilight Sparkle was enjoying the escape from thinking about her complicated magic test. She wanted to blow more bubbles instead of being so worried. Standing up, she took in a small breath, a sudden change of music in the air. The happy tune had been replaced with strange sounding violins, a high pitch in the air. Twilight Sparkle wondered about the music alteration before letting the air escape from her mouth, and she noticed that the violins slowly dropped in tone. She made a long, thin bubble that suddenly morphed mid-air, stretching out to form a wider, round bubble. It popped, and that just increased Twilight Sparkle’s urge to create more bubbles.

The pony took in a deeper breath this time, and once again the high violins could be heard. It was like a whole group of violins were being played with the ever so high pitch. When the bubble left the mouth of Twilight Sparkle, she noted it had decreased in tone yet again. Twilight Sparkle didn’t have much time to worry about the strange music, as she was more preoccupied with the weird bubble she had just made. It wasn’t at all round and was instead in the shape of a square, sharp corners and all.

“That’s really weird,” she said, staring up at the cube shaped bubble, but then a thought crossed her mind.

She was going to blow the biggest bubble ever.

With a look of determination on her face, she heard the sound of bassoons in the background. They played deep notes, much like the sound a marching band would stride along to, not at all like the violins. Butt planted on the ground, Twilight Sparkle made herself as comfortable as possible before taking in one long, deep breath. As each second passed the violins got higher and higher, like they were joining in on the bubble blowing. Her eyes shut as her cheeks puffed out, mouth full of nothing but air.

When Twilight Sparkle felt she had taken in enough air, she let it all escape from her mouth with her lips in a small ‘O’ shape. The violins continued on with their pattern, and the tone decreased with each inch the bubble grew. With her eyes still firmly shut and the bubble finally leaving her small lips, the violins had suddenly stopped playing. A happier tune was in the air, a cheerful song that Twilight Sparkle felt much more comfortable with.

With the bubble fully formed, it floated gracefully in the air, all wide and slightly shiny. It wobbled a little as Twilight Sparkle smiled at her work, proud of blowing such a gigantic bubble. But her smile quickly faded when she heard a scary tune around her. It was all insidious noises, and Twilight Sparkle was certain someone (or something) was going to pop up behind her and scare her. The violins carried on with their terrifying tune, shaky notes in the air. She heard a flute in the background, and the instrument having its notes drawn out, as if it was leading up to something.

Twilight Sparkle gasped loudly when everything around her slowly began to change. No more green skies and pretty, purple and pink evening sky. It was all becoming pure darkness. That wasn’t the only thing that was changing. Out of the corner of Twilight Sparkle’s eyes, she saw the large bubble she had blown tremble in the air even more. She could just make out it throbbing and nearly screamed when she saw it turn into someone. Slowly it changed, growing arms and legs and a head.

It was… Princess Celestia!

Twilight Sparkle wondered how almost everything was the same, and how the bubble looked almost identical to Celestia. Same white skin tone, long mane and crown on her head, but she was all shiny and thin skinned. Just like a bubble.

Bassoons and double bassoons took over the previous music, replacing it with a marching tune. As the new song carried on, Celestia jumped into the air swiftly, the bassoons timing their notes perfectly with the leap, turning her head to look over her shoulder at Twilight Sparkle. The white coloured pony batted her dark eyelashes at Twilight Sparkle, almost in a calculating manner. Unable to react in any other way, Twilight Sparkle sent the pony a silly, almost shy smile. That smile was quick to fade as Twilight Sparkle really took in the scene in front of her. What on earth was happening? And why was the music around her so terrifying? Twilight Sparkle couldn’t help but let her eyes wonder from left to right, wondering where the violins were coming from. They were getting even higher, and the bassoon notes were even deeper now. They sounded like a giant’s footsteps on the ground, angry and loud. The woodwind instruments hadn’t stopped either, and Twilight Sparkle could still hear them, all shrill and loud in the background. The combination of instruments terrified Twilight Sparkle, and she felt her whole body shaking in response.

As she looked in front of her, Twilight Sparkle saw Celestia take in a long, deep breath. It was just like Twilight Sparkle had done earlier. As soon as the bubble left the pale pony’s lips, it began to morph, turning into a clone of Princess Luna. This clone was a deep, royal blue colour, and mimicked Celestia by taking in her own long breath. Once Luna’s bubble escape from her blue lips, it turned into a bright pink clone of Princess Cadence. Cadence followed suit and copied the other ponies, breathing in deeply and pushing out a bubble. This bubble made Twilight Sparkle gasp, because it morphed into her! It was a clone of herself, looking almost alike, all purple and bright eyed, just with shiny bubble skin. The shaky strings in the distance hit their peak, and Twilight Sparkle couldn’t shake the feeling that something awful was coming her way. She was terrified, and just wanted to leave this dark place and get back to her happy, colourful home.

The four ponies all lined up proudly in front of Twilight Sparkle, happy smiles on their faces. Their bodies pressed against one another, a squeaky noise in the air every now and then. The bassoons in the background finished with their deep, terrifying pattern, and it was at this point Twilight Sparkle absolutely knew something bad was going to happen. She could just sense it. She felt it all over.

The scared pony whimpered when she saw the four clones puff out their chests threateningly, extending their mouths to form long, thick trumpets. Their hooves danced wildly on their handmade instruments, and their smiles completely faded. They looked at Twilight Sparkle with a look of complete seriousness, determination in their now narrowed eyes. As the song carried on, their trumpets pushed closer and closer together, morphing to one rather large trumpet bell. It continued to expand crazily, a deep bass trombone escaping the bell as well as tuba notes. The bell soon changed colour, turning into a bright, shiny gold tone, and it had grown so much it completely took over Twilight Sparkle’s vision. She was too scared to run, and was forced to see into the darkness of the deep trumpet bell.

The bell shook wildly, unable to stretch and grow anymore. It played one last long, deep bass note, lasting for several seconds, before the end had come. The trumpet bell had been through too much and exploded loudly in response, a loud colliding of cymbals in the air.

CRASH!

Twilight Sparkle jumped at the sudden and loud noise and watched on in horror as she watched the clones escape from the bell. Luna, Cadence, and Celestia marched along happily, their legs slamming against the ground as they walked in a single line. With each ferocious step they took loud noises continued to fill the air, with deep bassoon notes and loud bass drums playing not too far in the distance. They were all a bright pink colour and with a hint of shininess. They used their stretchy bodies to modify their limbs, creating large trombones and xylophones.

Twilight Sparkle watched on in awe, her mouth slightly agape. She whimpered when she saw a clone of herself appear from the destroyed trumpet bell, marching along contently with all the other clones. A Cadence clone followed closely behind, and stretched her long legs out, the small Twilight Sparkle clone in between her legs. But Twilight Sparkle seemed to have similar plans, and as soon as Cadence crouched back down to normal height, Twilight Sparkle stretched her legs out, growing in height and stepping over the now petite Cadence. They made sure to stay in time with the music, their feet planting against the floor precisely with the tune in the air.

The real Twilight Sparkle shook her head in wonder at the sight. She had never seen anything like this before!

Twilight Sparkle let her eyes wander further back, and she spotted a small royal blue coloured Luna clone, happily trumpeting away. Behind her marched a rather round Celestia clone, all big and wide with a puffy belly. The Celestia clone cheerfully waved a cowbell in each hand. Celestia didn’t seem to be paying much attention, or she just didn’t care at all, because as she walked, she overtook the petite Luna, stepping on her tiny body. Celestia crushed Luna with three mighty steps, and each time Luna’s trumpet expanded wildly. The trumpet also released a blaring out of tune noise, a claxon noise in the air. Twilight Sparkle almost covered her mouth when she saw the little Luna be treated that way.

Luna gained her composure, scurrying forward to escape the heavy footsteps of Celestia. She looked back with an annoyed glare before carrying on with her music making. But Luna had no luck, and once again Celestia crushed the tiny Luna with heavy footsteps. With each step, the trumpet emitted a loud noise.

Step, honk! Step, honk! Step, honk!

Luna made sure to stay back this time, avoiding the large body of Celestia. She focused before bringing her leg back, shoving it forward, giving Celestia a heavy kick to her round butt.

Celestia flipped over after the kick, her body splitting into three smaller versions. They reacted angrily, staring down at the little Luna, trumpeting right into her face, blaring loud music right at her without a care. They pushed their chests out, threatening the petite pony.

Luna wasn’t too happy with the three aggressors, and used her body to stretch and stretch, becoming bigger than Celestia even was when she was all round and puffy. With her chest pushed out wildly, she seemed to intimidate the three bullies. They reacted in fear at her sudden growth, crouching down, and their trumpets once emitting a happy noise now decreasing in tone, all deep and heavy.

Luna looked down at the now tiny Celestia clones with a glare, golden, shiny cymbals suddenly appearing in her hands. She holds them in her hands in an almost teasing manner before crashing them together with rage, smashing the Celestia clones together. They clones weren’t squashed, however, and with the collision came the creation of even more clones. There were even more Cadence, Celestia, and Luna clones. There were even more Twilight Sparkle clones.

There were dozens of them, all bright pink with their mouths extended to form long trumpets. Twilight Sparkle watched on, shocked at seeing so many clones of herself. The Celestia, Cadence, and Luna clones also made her furrow her eyebrows in concern. How was any of this possible?

The four clones all lined up obediently, still trumpeting away, their stamps against the ground meeting the timing of the tune in the air. With each calculated step they took, the loud notes of the double bassoon were heard, repeating actively. The notes descended lower and lower with each step, before starting back up again, only to repeat itself. The Luna clone all the way in the front of the long line carried on with her own music creations, trumpeting away to a brand new song.

Twilight Sparkle let out a whimper when she saw the pony clones approaching her, and they were quick to take over, occupying every inch of her space. She wanted to push them away or tell them to leave. She needed room and she needed it bad, but what was the scared little pony supposed to do? All she could do was let them march away happily. She looked below her with wide eyes as they marched in single file, before they carried on, walking up the left side of Twilight Sparkle. She noted a sudden change in the tune in the air, the trumpets changing pace and the bassoons changing too. There was a new pattern, the notes switching up between high and low.

The lined carried on to the top, walking across the head of Twilight Sparkle now. With each stride they took their bodies grew wildly, expanding every which way possible. They got wider and wider, their bubble bodies stretching and pulling, their skin all shiny and practically see through. The music dropped, becoming a little deeper, and the clones didn’t even notice how much they had grown. Their once petite bodies suddenly grew large, all round and fat and puffy, but their minds seemed solely focused on marching away. Twilight Sparkle watched on in both fascination and fear as they completely took over the small square they had created. They filled up the frame, the round, squishy bodies pressing up against each other tightly. As they continued to inflate they used their large limbs to push and shove, trying to get some breathing room. They sent glares and growls to each other, trying to warn the one another that this was their room. They didn’t realise that fighting only made it worse. Squeaks filled the air with their sudden fighting, but their aggression was no use. Their bodies had fattened up so much that there wasn’t even a reason to fight. There was simply no more room for the growing bodies.

Their eyes wide, panic in their orbs as the realisation hit them. With their cheeks all puffed out and full, Twilight Sparkle was quick to cover her eyes, shielding herself from the horrifying scene. Their round bodies shook, their bubble bodies had stretched far too much and couldn’t handle the expanding anymore. It was all too much, and their bubble skin was already quite thin to begin with. The song’s final note hit, and it was then that the clones met their end.

BOOM!

A loud burst was heard as their bodies exploded, unable to take anymore crazy stretching and pulling. Twilight Sparkle could hear the trumpeting from earlier, and she slowly took a peek, terrified to see what was coming her way this time, but also strangely curious.

The darkness expanded on for what seemed like forever, and the only thing that could be seen was from a house not too far away. It was almost entirely black within the house, and for a moment the windows remained empty, the only thing visible in the darkness of the far-off distance. But soon the windows filled up with faces, the clones of Celestia and Luna peaking in, smiling wide all pressed up against the glass.

“Look out! Look out! Pink ponies on parade! Here they come!” Came a booming voice, filling up the dark house with ominous words.

With that came what seemed like a never-ending line of Celestia and Luna clones. The clones at the front of the line opened the home’s windows, storming inside as if they owned the place. The music in the background wasn’t as prominent, becoming minimal. They clones didn’t stop, and they all storm into the house, filling up every space the home had. They marched up and down stairs, invading every hallway and room they could find.

“Hippety hoppety. They're here and there. Pink ponies ev'rywhere!” The insidious voice went on. The marchers carried on without a single care, all the while a very large, round Cadence floated into the house. With a body so round she could only thrust her arms out, unable to keep them by her side, her body floated above the crowd in a calm manner. Her body shifted and tilted a little while in the air before she carried on with her floating, going up higher and higher.

The voice seemed to have no plans on stopping, and continued on. “Look out! Look out! They're trotting around the bed. On their head. Clippety cloppety,” said the voice. Several Luna clones marched proudly underneath a bed that was planted to the ceiling. They swung the arms back and forth while they walked on their hind legs. They had their chests all puffed out, looking intimidating and ferocious. Their pink bubble skin flashed with a bright yellow, skeleton pattern highlighted on their bodies. It almost looked like a marching uniform.

Everything suddenly flipped, the bed on the ceiling now on the floor and the marching Luna clones stalking across the ceiling. It was the clones that were the ones that were acting strangely, their feet somehow planted on the ceiling.

There was suddenly movement in the bed, and out popped a pale Celestia, tossing her covers to the side. Her eyes were wide and her mouth was agape, a loud gasp leaving her lips. The scene in front of her was terrifying. She had no idea how the Luna clones had their feet planted on the ceiling. It was all too much for her, and she was quick to go back underneath the covers, cowering under the warm blankets. As she ducked under the material, the voice carried on, continuing to cry out the warning. “Arrayed in braid. Pink ponies on parade!”

The bed took off, floating higher and higher into the never-ending darkness. Blackness completely took over, and Celestia and her bed could no longer be seen.

Not too far away, a pale, very white looking Twilight Sparkle clone popped up from underneath, a look of worry and fear on her face. “What'll I do?” Came the voice, while Twilight Sparkle looked on with dark eyes,

As soon as those words left her mouth, another pale and white pony appeared. It was a Cadence clone this time, also looking fearful. Cadence appeared upside down, ducking down from the top. “What’ll I do?” The voice repeated. “What an unusual view!”

The two light coloured ponies turn to look at each other before jolting their heads back slightly in fear. They darted back the way they came from, Twilight Sparkle ducking back down and Cadence pulling herself upwards. A low cymbal crash could be heard in the background while the small sight of smoke could be seen, floating in the darkness.

The voice carried on, this time with a much deeper, croakier tone. “I could stand the sight of mites. And look at hordes of parasprites…”

Further away, with the never-ending darkness remaining, a brightly coloured Celestia clone was seen, with a vibrant looking Luna clone close by. The Celestia clone was painted yellow with long horizontal stripes covering her entire body. Luna was a blue colour, with red vertical stripes going across her body. Their bright bodies stood out in the blackness. The two pony clones were facing each other head on as they walked, their hooves meeting the ground in the same pattern. They moved forward with their right hind leg first, then their right fore leg, then their left hind leg, and then finished off their particular walk with their left foreleg.

As they strolled along the ground that way, their bodies soon met each other, but there was no crash, no bubble bodies colliding. Their brightly coloured bodies instead fused together as they walked right through each other, becoming attached at their waist tightly. They tried to escape by stepping away, but they had become fused with such a strong, tight bond. Their colourful bodies had even combined to create a brightly coloured, stretchy image. They looked almost plaid like, like some form of uniform.

Their smiles and content look in their eyes had vanished and were replaced with looks of fear. They gasped in shock as they continued to pull and pull, trying to step away, but only making their bodies stretch even further. It was no use. They were completely stuck. With a few more steps the bonding at their waists looked as if it was minimising, and for a moment it seemed as if they had found their escape. They took one more step, hoping and praying to save their waists from such strong fusing… But it was of no use.

The voice picked up again, carrying on with a croaky approach. “But technicolor equestrians is really too much for me!” The voice ended with an almost evil sounding laugh.

Crash, came a soft colliding of cymbals.

Their bodies were violently pulled back, colliding harshly, their bodies creating a messy stream of bright colours in the air. All that was left was a splatter of yellow and red and blue, their bubble bodies no longer visible.

“I am not the type to faint. When things are odd or things are quaint,” carried on the voice, this time with a slightly higher pitch and tone. There stood a clone of Cadence, a bright pink colour, feet firmly planted on the ground. She walked in her spot, with a blue Luna on her left who was also walking. Celestia was on Cadence’s right, who was also walking along happily. Cadence’s body started to shift a little and she stretched her large wings out, almost hitting Celestia and Luna in the face. Almost immediately her body started to stretch as well, inflating quickly, her bubble body becoming wider and wider. Her round body pushed up against Celestia and Luna without a care, and the two ponies looked at Cadence with annoyed glares, their eyes narrowed.

Celestia and Luna were quick to respond to Cadence’s frustrating actions by following suit and expanding their own bodies. They had stretched their bubble bodies so far out they were even bigger than Cadence, their bodies much rounder than her own. Cadence was suddenly stuck, her now petite body being squished and roughly pressed up against by the two other ponies. Both her front and back bulged wildly, her round eyes practically popping out her head and her tongue being forced out of her mouth, sticking out in the air.

“But seeing things you know that ain't. Can certainly give you an awful fright!” The voice ended, and it was then that Cadence couldn’t handle it anymore. Luna and Celestia were pressing against her body too harshly, completely uncaring towards the smaller body. She felt the back and front of her body expanding to the point of no return. She exploded with a pop, bright, shiny specs of colour in the air. It was a mix of yellow and orange and green and red, all vibrant and eye catching, completely different from the darkness in the background.

“What a sight!” Called out a screeching voice. “Chase 'em away! Chase 'em away! I'm afraid need your aid. Pink ponies on parade!”

Out of nowhere appeared Nightmare Moon, and Twilight Sparkle gasped in response at the dark coloured, terrifying clone. She spread her black wings out wide, blocking Twilight Sparkle’s pathway. She had nowhere to escape. Nightmare Moon had her chest puffed out far in front of her in a dominating manner, proving her strength and making Twilight Sparkle shudder. Nightmare Moon spun around swiftly, with slight dramatic flair, showing off her well-toned butt. She swung her hips, moving her body left to right, emphasising her ass. It was round and perky, and while looking over her shoulder, she sent Twilight Sparkle a smirk. Her eyes narrowed at the small pony as she showed off.

Nightmare Moon took in a deep, long breath, and when she let the air out of her mouth her flanks suddenly began to expand. They continued to swell, becoming larger and rounder with each passing second, while all Twilight Sparkle could do was watch in complete and utter awe. Before she knew it, Twilight Sparkle could no longer see properly, as Nightmare Moon’s ever swelling flanks practically pushed up against her face. All she could see were the dark flanks of Nightmare Moon that seemed to have no end to their swelling.

“Pink ponies! Pink ponies…” Came the voice, slowly starting to fade away, the voice soft and gentle now. The flanks slowly vanished, fading into the never-ending darkness, her cutie marks standing out against the blackness. The white, bright coloured moon became larger and was pressed against the dark sky, becoming the actual moon, hovering above everything. It was the only source of light up above, with no stars for miles. The scene faded, and Twilight Sparkle was presented with a new environment to be worried about.

When her eyes were able to focus on the changing scenery, she was able to realise the space around her had changed into a desert like area. She saw pyramids with shades of deep blue and pointy ends, with an array of yellow dots on the ground. A tune in the background matched the scenery, and a sensual, almost provocative sounding song filled the air. Twilight Sparkle was almost a little relieved to be presented with a song that wasn’t as terrifying as everything else she had heard.

Twilight Sparkle watched on in awe as a clone of herself appeared behind a pyramid, looking at her with a small smile and happy eyes. This clone had a hump back, but Twilight Sparkle didn’t have any more time to observe the mirror image. It suddenly morphed into four separate cobras, all painted in different colours. There was a white one, a royal blue one, a pink one, and finally, a purple one. They swayed their long, thin bodies to the sultry song, moving left to right in slow, calculating moves. They hissed loudly at the pony, their small tongues peeking out.

Before Twilight Sparkle could once again let the scene sink in, the cobras began to alter their bodies, stretching and expanding. They turned into clones of Celestia, Luna, Cadence, and Twilight Sparkle, all with similar bubble bodies. They stood proudly on their hind legs as they danced, their hips swaying left and right, occasionally turning around to rotate their butts at Twilight Sparkle. They moved in a slow and sexy manner, their hips swaying and meeting the beat of the music. They looked like skilled dancers, like they had planned every step of this routine just for the pure joy of tormenting Twilight Sparkle.

They took slow, calculating steps towards Twilight Sparkle, slowing down their movements. The swayed their flanks and hips in a much calmer manner. It was almost hypnotising to see their motions. They spun on their heels, walking backwards towards the shuddering Twilight Sparkle, slowly inching towards her. She watched on with her mouth agape as their flanks got closer and closer, and before she knew it, they pressed right up against her face, warm and soft and feeling so delicate due to their bubble skin. Her lips and cheeks were up close against their flanks, and all she could do was murmur in response. Twilight Sparkle could feel her whole body heating up at the clone’s actions, and she was about to speak up and ask what they were doing when they suddenly disappeared.

“Huh?” She mumbled, peeking out and seeing that the belly dancing clones had vanished completely. “Where’d they go?” She wondered.

Twilight Sparkle saw some movement out of the corner of her eyes and saw four mustard yellow coloured clones of herself appear. They shot up from the ground with their hand made trumpets pointed straight into the air, proudly playing a tune. Their long bodies were fused at the sides, dark stitching visible, showing where they had been fused together. All stuck together they formed a long, thick, yellow curtain, and as soon as the curtain was front and centre in front of Twilight Sparkle, their loud trumpeting stopped. The Twilight Sparkle clones ripped themselves apart at the seams, producing a loud tearing sound. The curtain laid in shreds on the ground all ruined and useless.

Another Nightmare Moon clone appeared, standing tall and proud and confident. She stood in front of the shaky Twilight Sparkle with a smirk, looking at the pony as if she was assessing her. She looked Twilight Sparkle up and down, as if she was trying to find something out about the pony. Twilight Sparkle couldn’t help but feel a little insecure. I wonder what she’s thinking, the pony couldn’t help but wonder, I wonder what she sees when she looks at me. With a slight grin, Nightmare Moon’s horn lit up, bright sparkles escaping it as a spell hit Twilight Sparkle.

Twilight Sparkle whimpered as she felt her whole body change. She felt a hint of pain at first when the spell hit her, but suddenly she felt her body get lighter. It was like she was floating, even though her hooves were planted tightly against the ground. It felt good for a moment, to feel so light and airy, but that carefree feeling didn’t last long.

Nightmare Moon sent Twilight Sparkle a wink, the black pony’s eyes dark. Nightmare Moon suddenly split her own body up, creating three separate clones of herself. Twilight Sparkle cried out at these actions, wondering just how powerful Nightmare Moon really was.

Each clone had a smirk on their face and their eyes were all narrowed, staring directly at the terrified Twilight Sparkle. They all looked like they had some form of plan that was going to terrify the small pony. She could just sense something bad was coming. She wanted to run and hide, but she was far too afraid. Fear had taken over and she wasn’t even sure if she knew how to function with her new bubble body.

A loud and crude bassoon note filled the air as the Nightmare Moon clone on the left took in a deep breath, her chest heaving heavily. The clone raised her eyebrows repeatedly at Twilight Sparkle, making the smaller pony shiver. Inch by inch, a Celestia bubble left the mouth of Nightmare Moon, increasing in size only slightly before Nightmare Moon put a stop to it. She slurped the bubble up back into her mouth in one quick, loud motion, licking her lips when she was finished. Her lips were raised in a small smirk and she stared at Twilight Sparkle with a slight glare. The Nightmare Moon clone looked proud of herself, and Twilight Sparkle could practically feel the cockiness in the air.

The dark Nightmare Moon Clone in the middle watched the scene with a smirk before taking in a deep breath of her own. With her eyes and mouth wide open, she sucked a bunch of air into her mouth, her cheeks all puffed out. A few moments passed, the Nightmare Moon clone making sure she was completely full of air, before she opened her mouth up slightly, a small hole being formed in order to let the bubble escape. A Luna bubble slowly left her mouth, forming in the air, stretching only for a second before Nightmare Moon sucked the bubble back into her mouth. A slurp filled the air and Nightmare Moon sent Twilight Sparkle a smile of satisfaction.

Nightmare Moon’s third clone on the right let out a small cackle at Twilight Sparkle’s reaction. She had a look of worry on her face, her wide eyes darting from clone to clone. The third clone followed the pattern, taking in a long, deep breath, her eyes staying stuck on Twilight Sparkle, watching the pony intently. One Nightmare Moon was happy with the amount of air she had sucked in, she was quick to push it all back, letting a Cadence looking bubble escape from her lips. The Cadence bubble formed in the air for a short moment before it suddenly disappeared, flying back into Nightmare Moon’s mouth. She sent Twilight Sparkle an intense stare, giving her a small blink, a smile of smugness plastered on her face.

The three tall and terrifying clones stood in a line in front of Twilight Sparkle, each of them taking in deep, long breaths. Their faces went slightly red and their cheeks puffed out greatly. Even their chests were puffed out a little. These breaths seemed much deeper and harder to take than the other ones. It was as if they had been planning this for days, because they were so precise with their steps and actions. They all opened their mouths at the same time, they all sent evil glares to Twilight Sparkle at the same time, and they let out bubbles of three clones at the same time. They had all ganged up on Twilight Sparkle and seemed to want to torment her.

The Nightmare Moon gang each let the bubbles fly out of their mouths, revealing the clones from earlier. Twilight Sparkle could see Celestia, Luna, and Cadence, all with their bubble bodies and squeaky skin. The bassoon notes carried on, dropping drastically in pitch, all deep and intense as their bodies increased amazingly in size. Their bubble bodies stretched and stretched, being pulled in every which way. Their skin became tight and shiny to the point that Twilight Sparkle wondered if they would become see through. Their shiny skin pressed up against each other, high and loud squeaks filling the air and mixing in with the deep bassoon notes. Their bodies became rounder and fatter, all pressed up against each other, unable to find an inch of room. Their limbs collided, almost intertwining as they desperately craved more space.

Even their faces had increased in size. Their heads had stretched wildly and their cheeks pushed out, all full and round. Their faces were mere centimeters from Twilight Sparkle, who looked on at the terrifying scene with a small gasp. Their eyes grew wide, bulging crazily and drastically, all the while one long, ongoing bass note played in the air. Their bubble bodies began to stretch in the air, their large bodies unable to defy gravity and being pulled forward, crowding around Twilight Sparkle. She was surrounded by ever growing clones of her peers and her ears continued to be filled up with that now familiar squeaky noise.

The trembling increased, their bodies practically vibrating, and they stretched one more inch when their sensitive forms were not able to handle it anymore.

BANG!

An almost painful pop filled the air as the Celestia, Luna, and Cadence bubbles were pushed to their limits. Their bodies were not strong enough to handle so much pulling and stretching, and the only thing left for them to do was to pop with an ear-piercing noise.

Twilight Sparkle was quick to cover her eyes, rubbing at them, the scene way too much for her. Everything here was way too much for her. She had no idea how she had been able to tolerate this much. She just wanted to go home and escape this mess, this terrifying world, this strange place where she saw all her friends but they just weren’t quite the same.

When the pony was done rubbing at her eyes and hoping she could wake up from the terrible world, she gasped loudly at the scene before her.

There stood six of them.

Tall and lean and dark and terrifying. There were now six Nightmare Moon clones, all circling around Twilight Sparkle, their legs moving forward in a scheming manner. It was like they were planning their strides. They were practically strutting, and Twilight Sparkle did not like the high level of confidence they exuded. Each clone had a smirk on their face, staring at Twilight Sparkle as they continued to make a circle around her, blocking the pony from an escape. She was stuck here. There was no way they were going to let her go, and she knew she couldn’t fight off six Nightmare Moon clones. That was too much for her.

Striding along casually and calmly, one of the Nightmare Moon clones looked right into the eyes of Twilight Sparkle, looking relaxed and confident. The long-legged pony opened her mouth slightly, letting a bubble escape, floating into the air. The clone instantly grew in size with expanding limbs and fattening cheeks. The clone’s face bulged, her eyes wide and bubble skin stretched tight. The body of the clone became all round and plump, but before Twilight Sparkle could really take in the look of the clone, it popped loudly. A sharp noise filled the air, and for second Twilight Sparkle thought the ordeal would be over. Maybe the dozens and dozens of scary looking Nightmare Moon clones would take off and just leave Twilight Sparkle alone. All hope faded for the pony when she saw one of the clones take in a deep breath. She knew what was coming.

Twilight Sparkle watched on as the next clone in the line of Nightmare Moons parted her mouth ever so slightly, the evident shape of a bubble leaving her mouth. It took only a second for the bubble to take on its shape, morphinh and bulging in the air to reveal one of Twilight Sparkle’s dear friends. It was an Applejack shaped bubble, cowboy hat and all. This bubble followed suit like the other, and popped in the air sharply.

Letting her eyes wonder to the next Nightmare Moon clone in the circle, Twilight Sparkle watched as the bubble left the scary clone’s mouth, inching its way out. It eventually stretched once it was far enough past the lips of Nightmare Moon, contorting wildly to make a Fluttershy shaped bubble. The bubble had its long mane swept to the side, just like the real thing.

The next Nightmare Moon clone in line caught the attention of Twilight Sparkle when she heard it take in a deep breath. With a look of curiosity and fear, Twilight Sparkle looked further down the line, waiting to see what would happen next. The Nightmare Moon clone, once happy with the amount of air it had been sucked in, let its lips part and allowed a bubble to form. It swiftly left the mouth of Nightmare Moon, stretching slightly until it expanded into the shape of Rainbow Dash. The bubbled looked almost identical to the real thing with its rounded wings. This bubble left the presence of Twilight Sparkle with a loud pop when it exploded.

Twilight Sparkle dragged her wide eyes to the next Nightmare Moon clone, who was quick to let a bubble form and fall from its mouth. It grew and grew, stretching to become a bubble version of Rarity. Twilight Sparkle noted the bubble’s long, sleek mane, and its thick eyelashes. It looked just like her friend, and it popped in the air with a bang.

Twilight Sparkle heard a stomp on the ground, and she looked to the right, trying to find the source of the sudden noise. She turned to see yet another Nightmare Moon clone taking in a quick but deep breath. The clone had wanted Twilight Sparkle’s attention. The little pony gulped when she saw a bubble leaving its mouth and how it bulged in the air. It shifted until it turned into a bubble version of Pinkie Pie, fully equipped with a curly mane and wide eyes. This bubble followed the pattern of the other ones, and it filled the air with a sharp noise when it popped.

The shaking pony didn’t know how to react. Were they teasing her by showing her small glimpses of her friends? Did they like seeing Twilight Sparkle react with hopefulness in her eyes, happy to finally see familiar faces?

She expected yet another Nightmare Moon clone to tease and humiliate her when it stepped towards her. The long-legged pony stood right in front of Twilight Sparkle, her eyes blinking rapidly. The clone had widened her eyes and pouted her lips slightly, sending Twilight Sparkle a look of innocence. But that sweet look didn’t last long.

Twilight Sparkle watched on in horror as the Nightmare Moon clones forced her body to rapidly grow in size. Inch by inch she stretched, expanding her body, becoming round and plump. Its limbs went from lean and strong looking to thick and full. Her slender body filled up and grew by the second. Her face went from that sweet little pout to something much more sinister. The Nightmare Moon clone’s eyebrows furrowed and her dark eyes narrowed. The pout transformed into a snarl, and Twilight Sparkle just wanted to run, but her tiny legs were far too shaky. Besides, she didn’t even know where she could escape to. This whole world just seemed to be full of never-ending darkness and terrifying clones. Now all she could do was stare head on at the ever-growing Nightmare Moon clone who had a look of total determination on her mind.

Twilight Sparkle had no idea how to react to the scene in front of her. The fattening Nightmare Moon was far too terrifying. How did they do that? Twilight Sparkle thought. How is this happening? Twilight Sparkle wasn’t even given the proper time to handle the situation, and before she knew it, the round clone pressed her mouth roughly against Twilight Sparkle’s. For a second Twilight Sparkle thought she might have been forced into some strange, aggressive kiss, and she raised her eyebrows in response to the sudden action.

But it wasn’t a kiss.

Twilight Sparkle’s eyes widened when she realised what was happening. The Nightmare Moon clone was drastically pushing all of the air she had breathed in into the mouth of Twilight Sparkle. She could feel every gush of cold air being pushed down her throat and into her stomach, her body showing almost immediate signs of expansion. Every harsh breath Nightmare Moon let out could be felt, the warm breaths filling up Twilight Sparkle’s body. She couldn’t react at first, Nightmare Moon’s grip far too strong and tight. The taller pony’s lips were strangely powerful and all Twilight Sparkle could do was stand there as the clone pushed gushes and gushes of forceful breaths into her mouth and straight into her body.

Twilight Sparkle felt a strange tingling sensation in her form. It felt like sparks in her body, like something or someone was tracing the insides of her body. It felt warm, and Twilight Sparkle immediately felt her body expanding. Her limbs grew, becoming thick stumps, and she struggled to stay in her spot. Having such a drastic increase in her legs was hard to get used to and the only reason she was standing up so straight was because she was attached to Nightmare Moon by the lips. Twilight Sparkle’s limbs had fattened up so much that she even felt her hooves hovering above the ground. Her legs were filled up with too much air now. There was no way she could stay planted to the ground, even if she wanted to.

The small pony looked Nightmare Moon directly into her eyes, watching intently as the clone shrunk by the second. The clone was back to normal size now, looking petite in comparison to Twilight Sparkle, whose body was expanding. She felt her flanks growing, becoming fatter and fatter, and her stomach grew in size too. She floated up a little higher, her whole body now full of so much air she felt like a balloon ready to pop.

Twilight Sparkle heard her heart beat loud and fast when her eyes started to suddenly bulge. They felt like they were sticking out of their sockets, and it felt even worse when her head felt like it was getting fatter. Twilight Sparkle’s cheeks grew, going from a chubby, almost youthful look to a wild, puffed out face. Her tongue stuck out from her mouth, unable to control any part of her body now, colliding with the tongue of Nightmare Moon.

In combination with her loud heartbeat, Twilight Sparkle could also hear music in the air. It was hard to concentrate on the tune with Nightmare Moon pressed right up against her, but she couldn’t help but let the loud tune into her ears. It sounded like a bunch of violins, all playing in the highest note possible, an almost ear piercing, screeching noise. It kept getting higher and higher as Twilight Sparkle’s body had stretched out and ballooned up so much she resembled a blimp. With her air-filled body now floating lazily in the air, she resembled the giant aircraft greatly.

The fat pony wanted to press something against her ears as the music got even louder, the violins playing an insidious tune, making Twilight Sparkle wonder what was going to happen next. She just knew the music was a sign of something, a sign of something bad and dangerous… Her body trembled, vibrating in the air, her now stretchy, thing body not able to handle anymore expansion. She felt an overwhelming feeling from head to toe, an almost tingling sensation that grew worse by the second.

The music came to a sudden stop, a short, peaceful pause in the air, and for just a moment Twilight Sparkle thought she had escaped the nightmare.

BOOM!

Her round, fattened up body exploded with a loud pop.

Twilight Sparkle woke up in the itchy grass, her body a sweaty mess. She sat up instantly with a gasp, spinning around in her circle, taking in everything around her. Everything looked surprisingly… Normal. She checked over her shoulder for Nightmare Moon and the terrifying number of clones, looked to the left for any dancing cobras, and looked to the right to see if anyone was stretching their body wildly to create instruments.

She breathed in a deep sigh of relief when she saw none of those terrifying scenes, and was instead greeted with and pretty orange sky, the sun just starting to rise. The morning air felt nice and cool on her body, especially after such a terrifying dream where her body had heated up. She looked down at her legs, pressing them into the grass, making sure everything was still the same. No wide, thick legs or the never-ending stretching feeling.

Everything was fine.
