My Little Tactics

Chapter Forty Seven: The Plan.

The sound of the hose turning on was something to be thankful for as Dustan went about spraying himself off first and foremost as Dash had determined to aim away from most of her friends and thus hit him head on. Thankfully it was also a hot day out so a cool stream of water wasn’t the worst thing to feel at that moment.

“I am SO sorry.” The pegasus told him looking ashamed of herself at the moment.

Instead of telling her that it was ok, Dustan turned the hose on her causing her to squeal out from the sudden cold spray. “There, you hosed me with something, I hosed you. We are even.” Looking back to the shed though, the door had been ripped off its hinge and there was a spot in the grass that didn’t look good as Dustan had rushed out and ended up spilling his stomach as well. “I am more sorry that I broke down the door that was there.”

“I am sure I can fix it if it makes you feel any better, it…just needs to be cleaned out now before I want to be near it.” Twilight told him as she looked over the damaged door as it sadly hung on to the shed by a tiny bit of metal.

“Yeah, though you should all come over here to get clean as well, she may not have gotten you all directly but everyone has a bit on them.” As he said that Rarity was turning laps around herself looking for said spots before rushing over and taking the hose in her magic to spray herself. It surprised him how easily she did this.

Luckily Twiggles had the answer ready for him. “Rarity has always had the finest of control over her magic so she barely ever needed to draw on a lot to do things, so it actually makes sense that her magic functions almost normally.”

“Almost?” He didn’t notice any difference at all to be honest.

“Yes Darling.” Rarity called out from under the hose. “Where as it was like using a fine instrument to thread a needle, I now feel like I am wearing oven mitts while trying to do it. I am still able to do so but it is a lot harder to do so.”

A wet flapping sound came from his side and he saw Rainbow Dash struggling. “Urg you weren’t kidding Twi. It really is like wearing a sumo suit and trying to take off. I am awesome and can do it, but I don’t want to do so for long, though I think this might be some great training.”

Looking over to the patio Dustan told the girls. “Do you three mind rinsing the rest of the way off, I want to see if Patrick is home.”

Instead of answering Rainbow Dash took the hose from Rarity’s magic and started to spray them causing the two of them to run from her, well after they were clean at least. Rolling his eyes at their antics Dustan went to the backdoor and searched for the hidden key. Patrick had told him he would set one up and that it would be under a rock, no not a rock that was too obvious. What Patrick had done instead was set a starfish in the yard a little ways away from the door in honor of the cartoon character that shared his named. Finding it and the key, Dustan went to unlock the door.

He must have just missed a guest as he heard the sound of a motor revving away and the door opening as Patrick was looking a bit down. “Having a rough morning?”

His friend jumped at that and looked angry. “Nearly gave me a heart attack asshole.” The answer quickly changed to a genuine smile as he came over and gave his friend a hug. “Welcome back, though I am curious as to why you are wet. Look I know I am attractive but I didn’t think you swung that way.”

Rolling his eyes, he hugged his friend back. “Good to see you again too. As for why I am wet, well we had a bit of turbulence.”

That got the sandy blonde man rub his hair and look out into the backyard where he saw Dash chasing after Twilight and Rarity with the hose; she was managing to fly but not very quickly. “Huh, more than one this time. I take it that visits might be a bit more regular?”

“Looks like it, finally managed to get my work load down by a lot by hiring a secretary.” Dustan told him watching as it was now Dash’s turn to run away as Twilight had taken the hose from her and was chasing after her.

“Hope she is cute, maybe get a bit of extra service from her.” The designer noticed his friends wince at that. “She ugly?”

“It’s a he actually, and no. Just one of the ones I interviewed tried that, it’s the reason she was fired from her last two jobs. I rather not have someone like that be someone I stick anything into let alone my dick.” That got a chuckle from his friend though not for the reason he was thinking.

“I see.” Turning to him he saw a grin on his face. “Is Dustan going native? Sounds like you are considering ponies in a new light this time around.”

“Ugh yeah, finally. Then again, I never didn’t think of them that way, just-” Dustan stopped and searched for the words. “Apparently I am attractive over there and have been getting signals. I am only recently realizing that they have been there this whole time and seeing them as they happen is…a bit frightening honestly.”

“Dude you were considered attractive over here.” Gestured Patrick, motioning to the world itself. “You got signs all the time but you never saw them, so I guess some things carry over even into another world.” Then he started to laugh loudly so much even the girls outside heard him and looked to him curiously. “Oh my god. You get powers unique to you, you are strong, and you have woman liking you and finding you attractive all while you are in a new world. You are an Isekai protagonist.”

Dustan looked at his so called friend flatly. “I hate you, I hate everything about you right this instance.”

“I take it that we can come in right?” Twilight called out from the open door.

Throwing up his hands in frustration as Patrick continued to laugh he called to her. “Sure just ignore this asshole here and we will be good.”

That just made Patrick laugh harder. “Dustan, that is no way to talk about Patrick! He is your good friend.”

“Yeah Dustan, what about the magic of friendship?” The designer called out to him.

That caused Twilight to smile and nod. “See Dustan, Patrick gets it.” This only caused the laughter to return full force. “What?”

The flat stare from earlier came back as Dustan grabbed his pack. “I am going to change out of these wet clothes, Patrick mind getting the girls some towels to dry off?”

“That would be appreciated. As while it was refreshing and soothing outside, I find that while inside where it is seemingly much cooler that the water has turned from enjoyable while it clung to my coat to horrid and I would very much like to be warm now.” Rarity told them as she was starting to shiver.

“I don’t know what you are talking about, I am fine.” Though Dash did say that, she was shaking a little bit.

Moving to grab a few spare towels he would hand them off to each of the girls and smile. “I know magic is a bit hard so I will help out if you want.”

“I am fine.” Twilight said used to the magic tension in this world as she called it as she was drying herself off.

Dash said nothing as she went about drying herself off, Rarity hearing a male offer to wait on herself didn’t resist. “Well a strapping colt like you offering to help me out, I would be a nag if I refused such a thing.” The ponies in the room rolled their eyes as the blonde man worked her fur as best he could.

Dustan came around the end of the drying off and into an interesting conversation. “Wait why don’t you want me to dry your chest, actually what is that area on a pony called?”

“It is our chest yes Patrick.” Dustan saw Rarity drying her chest off herself as she made sure to be careful and then style out her fur. “I didn’t want you to damage my tuft here. A mare’s pride is her chest fluff after all.”

That got an eye roll from Rainbow Dash. “Please, you are only saying that cause you have a decent amount of fluff.”

“Oh really?” Rarity brought a hoof to the side of her face with a bit of a smile. “If you really think so why have I seen you sometimes puff our your chest to show off the bit of fluff you have there, though I do understand that you don’t have much so I can see how you would think more isn’t better.”

“I am a pegasus, we are made to be aerodynamic. Of course I wouldn’t have a lot of fluff.” Countered the prismatic pony as she was glaring a bit at her friend.

She seemed to have won but the tone of Rarity said it wasn’t over yet. “Right right, and Fluttershy’s tuft is so large why? Why it’s even larger then Pinkie’s and she has a lot of fluff.”

“Pfft, like she counts, she is weird in that area, taller than normal pegasus too.” Dustan wanted to interject but couldn’t get a word in edge wise from Dash.

Rarity once more countered that. “Oh, what about Slip Stream from your weather team, or even Derpy?”

It was clear Dash was getting upset now as her red blush was no longer from embarrassment as her eyes started to squint at her friend, this is where he drew the line and walked forward. Dash almost bumped into him as he got between them.

‘Ok that is enough.’ Though the displaced human. “So um…what kind of conversation did I walk into?”

“Rarity is trying to say a mare with a bigger tuft is more desirable and Dash is trying to say that smaller is better. I am just happy with my size, though I wouldn’t mind if it was a bit bigger.” Twilight told him though if it wasn’t a group of ponies in front of him having this conversation he would think they were arguing another point entirely.

Seems he wasn’t alone as behind the group Patrick made a motion to his chest and increasing in side before a confused look came over him. “You would have to ask a pony on this, I personally am not an expert on that type of thing. All I know is if a pony is nice to hug that is all that matters. You could have a lot of fluff or none at all.”

Rarity gave a rather wry smile at that. “Oh you hear that Dash, that is good to know right?”

He missed something for sure Dash blushed and was making a panicked motion for Rarity to stop while Dustan looked up to Patrick who was just as lost as he was. ‘Ok good, it’s not just me being an idiot.’ Ignoring the girls for a moment he looked to Patrick. “So what have you been up to since I last saw you.”

For a moment Patrick’s hand went to his chest where Dustan noticed he was wearing a necklace of some type. “Not much honestly, had a few contracts that I did. You just missed my…latest client I suppose since I will likely take the contract. I don’t want to but the benefits are hopefully worth it.”

“I hope so too, you deserve the best.” For some reason that got a reaction out of his friend that he didn’t expect.

Patrick just walked up to him and patted his shoulder. “You are too good for this world you know that?”

“Um…maybe?” Regardless of that confusing statement Dustan and crew made their way to the living room as he suddenly remembered something. “Oh you girls said you had plans already for what you wanted to do, I was curious about that.”

“Oh is it time already, Twilight is it time?” Rarity asked a bit giddy as she ran to her suitcases after Twilight nodded.

Rainbow Dash looked a bit nervous. “You sure about this, is it safe?”

“Absolutely, I have calculated it perfectly, though we are going to be staying inside today just to make sure.” As Twilight said that Patrick and Dustan exchanged another confused look.

Rarity came back and pulled out something from her case. “Tada!”

The unicorn held it out in her hooves and the human looked at it. “Ok, you have a t-shirt, though I don’t think that will fit me at all, it’s not the right size, same with the shape too.”

Grinning as Rarity looked over to her fellow unicorn charging up her horn. “Oh it’s not for you Darling.”

Before he could get a word in edgewise for more details Twilight’s horn exploded with light covering the three of them and creating a puff of cloudy smoke. “Hey are you ok in there?” Coughed out Dustan, he waved at the smoke trying to clear it out from his face though wasn’t having much luck.

“Hey don’t burn my house down here, I like living here.” Patrick called out though his voice was also laced with coughing.

Their voices weren’t the only one coughing as the girl’s could be heard out in the smoke as well. “I thought you said it was safe Twilight, what are you trying to do choke us to death?”

“I am sure there is an explanation, right Twilight?” Rarity voice tried to call out for reason as she too sounded a bit miffed.

“Yeah that is my fault, I was trying to compensate for the magical tension and put a bit too much magic into the spell and as a result the excess turned into harmless smoke.” Dustan was getting closer to them at this pace but it was slow going as he could see Twilight’s multicolored mane appear now and then.

A flash of purple here, a twinge of a multi-colored mane there as he got closer. “I don’t care just get me out of the smoke.”

Patrick left the room for a moment searching for something as Dustan went to give Dash her request and lift her up out of the smoke, except his hand came into contact with something he wasn’t expecting. ‘That…strange, soft and not fur, did Twilight blow the fur off Dash?’

As his thoughts raced there was a bit of a squeak from Dash as he surprised her with his touch no doubt. “I got you.” Patrick called out bringing out a fan he had in a closet for when the house was at that perfect temperature of not hot enough to turn on the ac but not cold enough to be comfortable. Plugging it and in turning it on the smoke cleared away quickly and what they saw surprised them all. Patrick’s started to giggling laughter bubbled up from his throat as he covered his mouth with one hand.

Standing there were not three mares, but three women, three human women, three NAKED human women, one of which had Dustan’s hand right on her breast. “Wha, huh, bu.” Dustan’s brain was flatlining at the moment for a response, luckily his friend had a response.

“Isekai, Protag.” His laughter couldn’t be held back any longer.

Dustan looked back to his friend with a glare then back to the tanned and toned woman whose breast he was currently holding and his hand resisted the urge to squeeze as he let go as if it were on fire. “You can put it back, it was nice and warm.”

Ruby colored irises looked back at him, her hair was the same multi-colored hybrid it always was but now laid flat and short on her body barely going down to her neck as it was still spiky from how short it was. She was toned and tanned, from the looks of it, if one were to guess she was definitely an athlete of some kind, track maybe, triathlon something. The breast that his hand had left was not a lot, a bit of a larger A-cup for sure with nipples that fit with her shape and size being neither too big or too small.

“Huh, I think your spell went wrong in other ways Twilight as this definitely weren’t what you showed me.” Rarity called out as she sat on the floor looking herself over. “Though I have to admit, I do not think I look to bad.”

“No you do not.~” Patrick called from the side.

He wanted to say something angry to Patrick but he agreed with him. The same purple hair that she always sported but it went down to the middle of her back and had natural waves in it that curled up at the ends. Her skin was what one could classify as creamy looking with how soft it looked as well as how smooth, she wasn’t pale either. She had the figure of a model but not runway those were too skinny, this was a model of a woman whose figure was curvy in all the right ways and worked hard to keep them in those curves. Her nipples and areolas were a bit small compared to the rest of her breasts but stood proudly atop of her C-cups.

“Huh, I didn’t think there would be that much variety between females but I should have guessed. I did account for it in my spell but seeing it versus theorizing is always different.” Twilight, the nerd showed off her nerd bod by sporting her multi-colored hair with colored stripes that now hung down to just the middle of her shoulders, purple eyes looking around questioning from her friend’s ruby colored ones to her other friend’s blue. The body which she sported was pale showing her indoor habitat as did it show her diet as she wasn’t fat, but she wasn’t skinny, she had a bit of playful pudge as some would call it on her. Her bust fit with her body shape though as she was a B-cup with nipples and areolas that seemed to fit her size rather well.

“Huh, your spell accounted for variety.” Patrick asked as the girls tried to stand up on wobbly legs, Dustan half wanting to help but not wanting to be mistaken for anything. “So, it made the curtain match the drapes, while neat, why did it trim you all to match your marks?”

Dustan’s eyes couldn’t be stopped even if he didn’t do it consciously, as he looked at the girls and found that they were trimmed yes, but not into shapes, more just hygienically. Looking over to his friend he seen him grin and realized he had been had. “Well played.”

The girls had not been paying too close attention to the comments but did hear the one about marks all of which were now on the upper thigh on the side relative to where they were on their pony bodies. “Ahh they are still there, good. Now girls, this is a timed polymorph spell. It should last three hours before I have to cast it again to return us to these human forms. That being said, while human we do not have access to our magic that naturally comes with us, I haven’t figured out how to make it work as of yet and I tried. It’s still there just can’t be released so don’t worry.”

Eventually they all got a hang of at least standing up, with some assistance from Dustan either helping to hold them steady, or them using his shoulders for balance and a few more differences came to light. The tallest of the bunch was Rarity at five foot six with one Twilight Sparkle right behind her being shorter by two inches. Rainbow Dash showed off her short pony stature even in this form though by being only five foot even. The second key thing was Dash’s martial arts training kicking in. Because she trained to stand on two legs while fighting she got the hang of her new balance a lot easier than the other two and was walking fine within a matter of moments. Patrick the entire time went without helping enjoying his friends uncomfortable positioning and condition. It also didn’t help that Dustan could hear the click of Patrick’s phone taking photos nor could he ignore the buzz of his own phone as he heard it receive some messages and knew what he was up to.

Twilight was the next to get the hang of it as apparently she had been practicing. “This was a lot easier when I had your magic helping me to stand up while you measured me Rarity.”

So that was it, which had been the plan and why Rarity was so sure she would be going, or at least partially. “Yes dear it was.” The former posh unicorn was bracing against a wall trying to use it to find her center of balance. “It’s hard to remain upright though when I have these things on my chest.”

“Oh those are the female’s mammary glands, their teets. They stay like that all the time; it’s to attract the attention of males, kind of like how we were talking about our tufts earlier.” She told them so in a matter of a fact tone.

‘Oh god that was basically what the conversation was wasn’t it?!’ Dustan regretted giving Twilight a basic biology book now as he had forgotten it had stuff about humans and some of their nature in it.

“Huh, so even as a human I am the bigger of us three when it comes to that. However mine didn’t attract a male as Dustan’s hand had found its way to Dash’s teet instead of mine.” Rarity looked smugly at Dash for some reason; he wasn’t sure why when she admitted to losing.

“Yeah, told you mine was better.” She puffed out her chest in response. Then a look crossed her mind as she went red and her arms went to cover her chest. “Hey I mean it was an accident I didn’t let him touch them on purpose and I wouldn’t have asked him to touch my tuft before.”

“Yes but you did ask him to put his hand back cause it was warm.” That smug look was shared by Patrick who could appreciate the set up job that Rarity had just played on her friend. “I understand though, a tuft is sacred but touching teets, that surely is a bit easier for you right?”

“That-that was before I knew what these were!” Looking at Dustan frantically the pony turned human asked him. “Tell them, it wasn’t like you enjoyed touching me right?”

Dustan’s eyes went wide as he heard that. “I have never heard a more loaded question then that one before EVER.”

Both Rainbow Dash and Twilight responded to that with a “Huh?”

Moving to catch Rarity as she nearly fell Dustan showed off a bit of his strength, making Rarity coo lightly as a result, by effortlessly picking her up and helping to steady her. “If I admit I didn’t like them, you will then realize what I just said and ask why I didn’t enjoy them and start making theories about it wildly. If I say I did well that could make me out to be a pervert which will upset you as well.”

She opened her mouth to try to counter him but…she failed. “Ok good point.”

Deciding to let loose his own set up, or rather finish it, Patrick called out. “Rarity, didn’t you mention before this all went down that you made human clothes for you all.”

It had been almost an hour now that Dustan was trying to help them, all while they strode around in the nude making him uncomfortable in ways that his imagination absolutely LOVED. “RIGHT CLOTHES! Let’s get you girls dressed.”

“Right, would you all help me get our ensembles out?” She smiled as she said that very much happy and looking forward to things. “I had to rush a bit with Dash’s clothing, which may be a bit too large and baggy on her as I had fit these all for Twilight’s size. Which means it might be too tight on me.”

Speaking of Twilight, since she was the most obvious to fit into the clothing, Rarity got her dressed. The top was a soft magenta color and was sleeved to her elbows, her cutie mark embroidered where a pocket would be normally. She also wore a skirt that was of a darker purple matching closer with her ma-hair color that reached just a bit past mid thigh. She then put on a pair of socks that were so dark of a purple they might as well be black, causing her to blush and giggle a bit saying something about how naughty it was, to which he didn’t understand. She ended up with a pair of slip on shoes as it was the best design and most comfortable that Rarity had ended up on.

Tying her hair up in a long ponytail before doing a twirl, Twilight letting her skirt flare up and out. “I think you forgot something.” Dustan couldn’t help but blush heavily even if he had just spent an hour with the girls while they were nude. Rarity looked over Twilight and couldn’t seem to figure out what he meant as he sighed. “Where are her panties?”

That lit up the former unicorn mare’s eyes. “Panties? Oh you mean the underwear right, I almost forgot those.” Dustan couldn’t help but glare at the almost part as she HAD forgotten. “Here you go Twilight.”

“Thank you.” Slipping them up her legs she smiled and wiggled though Dustan face-palmed as those weren’t panties but boxers. “Huh, these don’t feel like what I thought they would feel like.” Lifting up her skirt she showed herself off to everyone. “How do they look?”

“Um did you girls design your underwear after mine?” He asked only to get a nod and sighs. “Panties are what females wear, sometimes thongs, but boxers tend to be what guys wear.” He muttered and went to the kitchen needing a drink.

He was trying to slake the thirst he felt by slacking another type of thirst, it wasn’t really working. Dustan even went so far as to run his head under the water to cool off. Meanwhile his phone was buzzing again and again. Deciding he should look at what was sent just in case it was from his parents he was wrong. It was all Patrick showing the girls getting dressed, showing off, and even in one picture, which was the latest, were the girls groping themselves.

Deciding to give into the insanity he walked back into the living room to hear. “So it’s kind of like tuft you said right? Well I don’t think my tuft has ever been this sensitive, is that normal?”

“Try squeezing them, that felt pretty good to me.” He heard Dash respond to Rarity as Twilight was looking around for a note pad as she seemed to want to record things for her own posterity. Patrick, the good for nothing, was just enjoying himself and taking photos.

Rarity was now dressed in a white top with long sleeves that went to her wrists, a skirt that was slit up one side in the color black, and was wearing flats but no socks. Honestly she looked like a high class office lady if not for the fact everything was a bit tight on her, especially around her chest.

Dash was next and as expected everything on her was a bit loose. She had taken to a sky blue t-shirt whom she had knotted a bit at the front showing off her abs in the process and tightening it up to be a better fit. The pants she wore were more Yoga or Jogging pants as they had a pull string on the front-no wait she changed her mind. Apparently she was taking them off and she wasn’t wearing panties.

Patrick slipped up beside him as he was staring and whispered. “The panties wouldn’t fit, they slipped right off her.”

What could he say, the mare he knew had a crush on him was a human right now, bottomless and looking to change her clothes and she just bent over. Dustan felt his brain stop at that and he knew his eyes were boring a hole at Dash, but he couldn’t look away. As she was looking through the cases she was unconsciously wiggling her hips back and forth it was almost hypnotic.

The human lord thought he heard a giggle in the distance but it didn’t matter, the corner of his eyes registered Rarity whispering to Twilight and pointing at something before she too was giggling in on whatever the joke was. Wiggle hip, toss cloth, wiggle hip, toss cloth. The cycle went on for a bit before she gave up almost until she struck pay dirt judging by her cry.

“Aha!” Pulling out a pair of trunks that either looked to before exercise or swimming they slide up her toned legs as she grinned. “Better” She told them all as she pulled and tied off the strings. The trunks were a dark blue with light blue trim perfect for swimming, and colors he liked a lot and looked good on her.

“Um dear.” Rarity said while leaning against the wall. “I made those for Dustan. I was working on a few new things and brought them with me. I wanted to compare my work to human’s.”

Looking to Dustan she pouted a bit and lightly drew the shorts down just enough that her other tuft was peeking out. “Since they are yours I will take them off if you want, but it’s the only thing that fits so can I wear your shorts?”

“I need to go and…work out outside, right now.” Dustan said leaving the room and into the yard. He needed to focus on something else right now really badly. So much he went vertical to do pushups with one hand.

Seeing that, even Patrick was surprised. “Holy shit that is awesome.”

Looking to the human in the room the girls all agreed on the question in mind as Twilight asked. “Is that special for humans to be able to do?”

“Absolutely.” Patrick said as he watched his friend just blast through them as if they were nothing. “If you can do that you are likely considered in one of the most peek conditions you can be for a human. Even then it’s difficult for those that can do it. It requires not only a hefty amount of strength but balance and concentration as well.” The entrepreneur held out an arm and flexed. “I am considered a bit above the average person as I have a personal gym that I use regularly to keep fit and I couldn’t hope to do that.” As he said that Dustan simply hoped from one hand to the other causing his shirt to flip out from his clothing which he promptly tossed away. “Ok the scars are a bit much but damn look at my bro. He is fucking JACKED! I bet you could shred cheese over those abs.”

“Yeah I could.” Instantly all eyes went to Dash who went red in the face. “I mean yeah I could go for some cheese right now…right everyone ha-ha-ha…ha…”

That seemed to remind Twilight of something. “Oh right, I almost forgot everyone. While we are human we will tend to…think more human like. If you didn’t like meat before the smell of it might make your mouth water, you might find certain features, like abs, attractive more then you may or may not have before, basically things humans would like you are more prone to like now.”

Rarity pouted at that as Dash seemed to sigh in relief. “Oh yeah, it’s the transformation right.” Looking around the pegasus turned human asked. “Where is the little ponies room?”

“There are two, one on the main floor, down the hall second door on your right, or upstairs almost in the exact same place.” Patrick told her as she quickly nodded and fled after a minute.

Rarity grinned and looked to Patrick. “So, now that the foal is out of the room, I am guessing that Dustan’s need to go work out is the same reason in this world as it is in ours after starting at a mare that hard?”

Laughing to himself the normal human gave an affirmative nod. “Very likely. I am not sure how sharp your visions are now as a human versus a pony, but even a blind woman would be able to see what staring at that toned rear of your friend did to him.” Twilight left hearing that as she went to go check up on Rainbow dash.

“So if I were to, say bend over right now, you would stare at me?” Rarity said almost moving to bend over.

“That and likely give your ass a nice slap for good measure.” The former pony seemed to take offense to that. “Rude much. You don’t treat a lady like that.”

“Hey, I am an asshole if you had not heard.” He seemed proud of this fact as he pointed a thumb towards himself. “I know what I am, I embrace it. If you want a white knight he is outside, but given how he is, the white horse he will ride in on won’t be any of you, no matter how much you want to be ridden.”

A ‘Hmmph’ was given as Rarity turned her head to walk away, only to run into a red faced Twilight. “Ahh, D-don’t go that way.”

“Why not Darling? I would like to see more of this lovely home even if it does belong to a brute.” Her pointed glare went over to Patrick, he politely and playfully flipped her off with a smile causing her to turn her nose back on him.

Twilight’s fingers poked against one another and she looked down. “Dash is...taking care of her own stress in a different way.”

“Wait, what do you-” Then she got a grin on her face. “Oh is she, and how would you know?”

“Well I went to go check on her and as I neared the bathroom she was…quite vocal.” More fuel for the fire to tease Dash with she supposed. She wasn’t sure why she was teasing her so much, though if she had to guess it was because she had not known the tomcolt to be feminine and seeing her act like it at times made Rarity want to tease her.

“Really, I am surprised you can hear anything, I have notice it’s very much dull for sound.” She held her hands up to where her new ears where. “Either my…variable isn’t very good about it, or something is wrong.”

“That is actually normal.” That seemed to confuse the fashionista. “Humans don’t have as good of hearing as ponies do, but they have better Eyesight.”

“Oh, that does explain some things. I was watching Dustan a second ago and could notice he was sweating and how it ran down his body. I thought maybe it was just my brain focusing in on things that it wanted to focus on, but if I could see better that makes more sense.” She chuckled and looked to her friend. “Dash certainly was looking that was for sure.”

The girls once they had regrouped and Dustan came back feeling calmer decided that in a way Dustan had it right. Exercising would get them use their bodies so they started to discuss what they could do; Dustan said that a jog would be best to start out with since they were still adjusting to their bodies and how they move. That was where Patrick introduced him to his home gym a right piece of work for sure.

“Welcome to my personal home within my home. I went all out and paid for all kinds of state of the art equipment here, especially on the weight lifting since I don’t have anyone to spot me.” The blonde designer told them and then showed them to the two treadmills he owned, he owned two of everything just in case one started to working or if he was too exhausted to clean one off the previous day. The girls looked a bit unsure after hearing that and a bit grossed out. “Don’t worry, I always clean them off the next morning and all the machines are currently clean I promise.”

Feeling a bit more assured Twilight and Rarity went to the treadmills and were put on a walking setting for now. However before any of them got started they did make sure to stretch properly emphasizing how important that was which Rainbow Dash could only nod to. She was happy to see that stretching before exercising was universal no matter what species.

Since Dash could walk adequately already Dustan went to give her some light workout stuff, pushups, sit ups, squats, jumping jacks, anything to let her feel her body move and see how she did so it works. “Huh some of these are a lot harder as a Human and some are really easy. Then there are some that are just really different as you do them with two legs instead of four.”

Chuckling at that Dustan looked at her. “Well if you start going down the path like those in the castle with the class training, you will get a lot stronger. Look at me, at this point I am basically almost super human, right there at the edge of peek human in a lot of ways and if I keep training I could go there.”

“Then why have you slowed way down on your training?” Dash’s question honestly caught him off guard. “I get paperwork and all that, teaching, and more, but I hardly ever see you outside sparing anymore or training.”

“Honestly?” He asked her as he sat down on the mat and looked over to where the others were, out of earshot. “Between you and me I am a bit afraid.”

“Of what? I mean if you become super human wouldn’t that make you just like one of the Power Ponies or something?” She punched the air to emphasis.

The eyebrow on his face was felt raising as he looked at her. “I thought you didn’t like to read except Daring Do.”

“Pfft, comics are different.” She said moving her arms out to her side. “You don’t read them, they entertain you.”

‘Twilight might have an argument for you there if she hears about that.’ Regardless of his thoughts on that matter he would look down at his left hand. “I am afraid of what I might lose Dash. As it is right now, with my magic, with all that I can do, with what I have seen. I am afraid I am just barely hanging on to what keeps me human. If I go past that tipping point into super human will normal human issues not be a concern, will they bug me as they might seem trivial? Will I still be able to relate? Ponies are kinda the same way, though I relate less to them cause of the species barrier it doesn’t mean that I am totally disconnected from them. So if I move into this point where no normal pony or human can do anything to me, what will I do then?”

“So?” The blasé attitude startled him. “I am the fastest pony alive, I can do a Sonic Rainboom something no other pony can do. When it comes to speed none can match me, but do you see me going about things like I am above them?”

“You mean beyond the bragging?” He couldn’t help but throw that out there with a playful smile.

She grinned back at him and raised her arms stretching and he couldn’t help but note that it emphasized her small chest in a good way. “Hey if you have it flaunt it. Just don’t rub it in too hard is all. Besides, no matter how far you go into that super human area you are scared of, there is going to be something you can’t do better than someone else. There is also the fact that because you are number one at something doesn’t mean number two can come up and do something.”

That did make him feel better. ‘There are always checks and balances, no matter if I can’t see them.’ Looking up at her he gave a more confident smile. “Thanks, that helps out a lot. Still I am in no rush to push that envelop, I am happy teaching and really don’t feel like I need to get much stronger at the moment.”

“Be careful, that might come back to bite you.” She said a bit sadly. He wanted to ask her what she meant when suddenly there was the sound of shattering glass as each of the girls forms exploded in light before almost instantly reforming into their pony forms. This caused Twilight and Rarity to fall on the treadmills in an ungraceful fashion making everyone head over to them to see if they were alright.

“Guess the three hours are up. Wait, did we even have a timer to check to see if it was three hours?” The humans looked towards each other and it was clear no one thought to do so. “Ugh, no matter. I have plenty of reserves to cast it again and this time there should be no smoke.” The girls had all slid out of their clothing when they changed back as the clothing no longer fit on them properly.

Seeing that, Dustan turned around and pulled his buddy with him. “We will be in the other room so that you can get changed properly this time.”

“Hey I don’t mind watching.” Patrick called out.

Flicking his forehead Dustan told him. “Bonk, go to horny jail.”

“Excuse me?” Letting out a rather indignant response from him he replied with. “Says Mr. I got to go work away my wood.”

“I can probably throw you a mile away, you know this right?” Smiled Dustan.

Patrick opened his mouth to respond except he stopped. “Right, you win this one, but know you can’t always pull that excuse.”

Dustan flexed and grinned. “Tell that to me when I can’t throw you to the next county.”

That got a good laugh from the both of them.
