Author's Note

A word of warning to those reading this chapter, it does involve both Fillies and Colts in a mature situation. However, while Wish World is a NSFW setting, there is nothing in this chapter that would be considered "foalcon", unless you think that kissing can be classified as sex. While foalcon, and its non-furry equivalents, do not appeal to me, I really don't hold it against other people if they like it. As far as it goes, what's depicted in this chapter is about as close as I'll ever get to it, but I just wanted to let people know ahead of time in case they didn't want to read about foals making out. Feel free to skip if that's not your thing.

Filly Follies and Coltish Conquests

“Can’t talk now Princess!”

“Yeah, we got some girls to find!”

Those were the words of two colts on mission as they bolted past the Princess of Friendship. Snips and Snails had waited a long time that morning to get audience with the wish granting goat genie that had been the talk of the town that morning, and when given anything they could possibly desire, from endless supplies of pudding, to being good at schoolwork and sports, to being rich and famous, there was one wish that they determined to be the best option.

“We wish for girlfriends who’ll love us and not laugh at us.”

It was such an innocent wish, to look for love at such a tender age. Atamanna could only smirk at the purity behind it.

“I have no issue granting this wish,” said the Djinn, “I’ll even make the wish as good as I can… as a reward. From now on, any girl that you kiss on the lips will become your devoted and loyal girlfriend, falling deeply in love with the kisser. Enjoy you two.”

Those words floated around in Snips’ head as he ran through Ponyville with all his might. Any girl in Equestria could be his with a simple smooch. The same applied to Snail, who seemed to be excited about the prospect as well, but Snips didn’t think his slower witted friend had thought this through as far as he did.

This was practically confirmed when Snails said, “Uh, where are we going again?”

Snips already had somepony in mind, and was determined to get there as fast as his chubby body would let him. Lungs burning, legs feeling like lead, he went full sprint from one side of Ponyville, to the other, all while thinking about a certain red maned filly.

When Snips finally came to a stop, forced to stop when even his adrenaline filled veins was not enough to keep him going, both he and Snails had made it all the way to Sweet Apple Acres.

“Are you okay?” Snails said, watching his friend take short, deep breaths as he leans against a tree to keep from falling over. “If you were hungry, we could have stopped at Sugarcube Corner.”

“No... stupid,” Snips said, slightly frustrated that he was being delayed even a moment from his goal, “We’re not… here to eat…”

“Then what are we here for?” Snails questioned, almost having forgotten why they were running in the first place.

“I’m here…” Snips took one deep breath, trying to get out the rest of his thoughts without another huff, “Because there is a girl I like here and I want her to be my girlfriend!”

With his free hand, Snips covered his mouth, having said that last bit a little too loudly.

Luckily, it didn’t seem like anypony was around to hear it except Snails, who was silent for a moment, but then gave a gasp, “You don’t mean… You’re in love with Applejack!”

Snips groaned, “Not Applejack. It’s… Applebloom.”

The confession came out with a degree of difficulty for the unicorn colt, Snips having formed a crush on her some time ago, during the cutie pox incident, when she showed him a bit of attention during her loopty hoop demonstration. Ever since, he had always had a bit of a thing for the farm filly, but never could work up the nerve to tell her, the possibility of rejection too much for him to bare.

“Hey, good choice,” Snails said, “Well then, what are you waiting for?”

“What?” Snips replied, expecting to be made fun of over his decision.

“We got that wish from the genie, so if you want her, then you should go get her,” Snails said, thinking about the matter as simply as possible.

Snails was right of course, this was the reason he made the wish to begin with. He had the power to make sure that Applebloom would love him, having caught his breath, there was nothing stopping him from fulfilling what he had ran all that way to do.

“Come on,” Snips said, “I think I know where she’ll be right now.”

As the two colts made their way through the orchard of Sweet Apple Acres, Applebloom and Sweetie Belle were at the Cutie Mark Crusaders’ clubhouse.

“As soon as Scootaloo gets here, we’ll head up that hill to get what we need to help Chipcutter get his cutie mark.” Applebloom said, both she and Sweetie Belle having plotted out exactly what they’d need to do for a recent cutie mark related problem that had been brought to their attention.

“I hope she’s not over sleeping again,” Sweetie replied, the two having waited for some time already for the third part of their trio.

Both fillies were ready to get to work, doing what they were born to do, and helping fillies and colts get their cutie marks, but they couldn’t start until Scootaloo was with them. Sitting on the floor, the two were expecting to leave on their mission at a moment’s notice.

So when a couple of knocks came to their ears from the club’s door, Applebloom’s immediate response was, “That’ll be her now!” As she lifted herself off her rump.

“But… Why is she knocking?” Sweetie Belle asked, the club’s door never being locked, and of the three of them, Scootaloo was the most likely to just barge in.

Applebloom did think it was odd, but didn’t think anything beyond that as she got to the door. With a turn of the knob, the earth filly pulled the door open, and behind it were the two unicorn colts, prompting the earth filly to say aloud, “Huh? Snips and Snails?”

Snails was to Appleblom’s left, politely standing on the club house’s porch with his hands held behind his back. Snips, on the other hand, was looking a bit nervous, rubbing his hands together anxiously with a look on his face that made Applebloom think he did something wrong. She was wondering if something had happened, something he didn’t want to share with an adult, because the two colts had come a long way to, assumedly, see her or the other two Cutie Mark Crusaders.

“What in tarnation are y’all two doing h-?” Applebloom continued as she took a step outside of the club house’s interior, almost completing her thought, until Snips made his move.

The moment Applebloom got close enough, the colt stepped forward and brought his hands to her face. Clasping the earth filly’s head firmly, pulling it to him as he pushed his own forward with one thought on his mind; locking lips with Applebloom and sealing the deal that he made when his wish was granted. Tilting his head slightly to make sure his horn wouldn’t ram into the girl’s forehead, he planted himself onto the two fleshy pillows of flesh that formed Applebloom’s mouth, and prayed to whatever gods would listen that the goat wasn’t just messing with him, a thought that hadn’t entered his mind until this very moment.

Applebloom couldn’t move, at first because her disbelief made her freeze in place as a boy stole her first kiss. She, of course, knew that she wanted to remove her lips from his as soon as possible, but the thought of a boy so brashly planting a smooch on her lips made her body tense up so tightly that she could hardly move a muscle. This wave of frantic thought happened in less than a second, but before that small moment in time reached its conclusion, something started to change inside the earth filly.

The young mare could feel the resistance she had against the forced kiss turn to mush, and her body relax as it gave into Snips’ brutish advances. Before another second passed, Applebloom had forgotten why she was in any way apprehensive in the first place, her racing heart slowing down a little from shock, but staying fairly high as excitement started to fill her instead. By the time a third second came, the only thing she could think about was how amazing the kiss felt, how attractive snips was, and how much she loved him for… Well the only answer she could come up with was ‘for just being him’. When the forth second came, Applebloom’s thoughts on Snips had been changed so much that she was totally enamored with the colt, every memory of him to that point becoming admirable and spectacular to her.

After that, Applebloom could only look at Snips with thoughts of pure love for him. Hearts formed in her eyes as she joined in on the kiss as well, releasing a light moan of enjoyment as she put her arms around the unicorn colt, as if to tell him he could do as he pleased from here on out. When Snips felt her accept his affection, he was ecstatic that the goat had done exactly what she had said, and took the kiss a step further.

He had seen adults kiss before, and the lengths a kiss could go when two ponies really loved each other, and since he believed that he and Applebloom now had the peak of affection for one another, he went ahead and took their relationship to the next step. Sliding his hands down from Applebloom’s face, positioning one hand on her shoulder and the other on her hip, he pulled her in closely, their chests touching one another. Having brought himself this far, he showed little hesitation when he proceeded to slip his tongue into the filly’s mouth, as he had seen his dad do with his mom once when they thought he had left the house.

As innocent as the colt was in his intentions, he was giving Applebloom a very adult kiss, running his tongue over hers, as he assumed a kiss like this was done. Applebloom, being less experienced in even the mechanics of such a kiss, but compelled to find everything Snips did as attractive and desirable, returned his affections, rolling her tongue over the one invading her muzzle, following it into the unicorn boy’s mouth where she began exploring it with newfound determination, wish instilled passion guiding her actions.

Thinking back to the way his mom and dad kissed, trying to remember everything he saw like it was an instructional display, he did the next thing he remembered happening, and put the hand on her shoulder into her hair. It felt so nice in his hand, like silky strands between his fingers. Snips could see why adults liked kissing this way. He became so caught up in it all, that his body almost moved on to the next step he remembered automatically, with his hand taking hold of the lovely mane, before giving it a firm tug.

“MHMMM!” Applebloom screamed into the colt’s mouth, the pain of her mane being pulled forcing it out of her.

Immediately, Snips let go and broke the kiss completely. He had seen his mom react positively when she had her mane pulled during a kiss, but didn’t really understand why she had reacted that way. With everything else going as it was supposed to, he believed that must have been the right thing to do, but now he was terrified he might have hurt Applebloom. He might have brain washed her into loving him, while not understanding that was what he had done via his wish, but he didn’t want to hurt the girl.

“Are you okay?” he said, panicked, “My hand moved on it’s own, a-and…”

“I’m okay,” Applebloom said, rubbing her head a little, “Actually, it felt kinda... nice.”

“R-Really?” Snips asked, still not sure how that could have felt good.

“Yeah,” Applebloom reasserted, “Ah wouldn’t have thought somepony yanking my mane would have felt pleasant, but something about it felt like it jump started every part of my body.”

As the earth filly rubbed the pulled part of her scalp for a few more seconds, Snips could notice that she was wearing a never fading smile on her face. Not a big one, but enough to tell him she was not bothered by what he did. From what he could tell, she really was fine. Possibly even happy about it.

“Wow, I guess it worked,” Snails said, going to Applebloom’s side to get a better look at what he assumed was his best friend’s new girlfriend, “Way to go, Snips.”

“You guess what worked?” Applebloom asked, finding what Snails said odd. If he meant the kiss, there was nothing strange about her letting him kiss her like that. As far as she was concerned, she had always loved Snips, and was just waiting for the moment for him to do something like this.

“Applebloom, are you okay?!” Sweetie Belle said, running to the door after overcoming the sight of one of her best friends being aggressively kissed by Snips.

From her perspective, it looked like Snips just kissed her out of nowhere, and at the very least that had to be unpleasant for the farm filly. The unicorn wanted to make sure Applebloom wasn’t traumatized, and then scold Snips for pulling such a disgusting trick, but the moment her hoof touched outside the door, her way became blocked by a face coming in her direction.

It was Snails, swinging his head from behind the doorframe with speed that belied his namesake. Having heard Sweetie coming, and saw her about to exit the tiny shack, he made his move. With incredible precision, he landed his mark, and planted a quick, light kiss right on Sweetie’s lips. The kiss he gave was neither mature or romantic in nature, like the one Snips gave, but for the purposes of fulfilling the wish, it didn’t have to be. The moment the kiss was planted, was the very moment her destiny was changed.

Unlike Applebloom, Sweetie Belle already had a colt that she considered her boyfriend, an earth pony named Button Mash. The wish didn’t care about that though, and just like with Applebloom, Sweetie started to believe that she had always had a crush on Snails. The unicorn filly still had all the memories of her and Button, but they quickly became skewed. What were once the best moments of her young life became clouded with the belief that while she had a good time dating Button Mash, that all those times she would have rather been with Snails. The filly couldn’t take so much as a step backwards before this all happened, her mental image of Snails making that of her now ex-crush look pale and pathetic, love she once had for the earth pony colt now belonging to him.

Once the wish had taken hold, the only thing she could have said about Snails’ invasion of her personal space was “Woah”, having just been kissed by the colt she had a life long crush on. She could feel her face turn red and her body heat up as an intense feeling filled her being. She was not ready for the colt she loved to just kiss her out of nowhere, but now he had and there was no going back.

“Hey Sweetie,” Snails said, letting himself into the clubhouse, “I was wondering if you’d like to be my girlfriend.”

Snails was being as subtle as a rampaging apple cart rushing down an active volcano, but his bluntness didn’t matter. Though Sweetie was filled to the brim with embarrassment, that string of words forced her reply.

“Yes! Thank you!” Sweetie said, rushing to Snails to embrace him in a hug. There was nothing else she ever wanted to hear more in her life, and she felt privileged to be the filly Snails had chosen to be his.

“I didn’t know you were in love with Sweetie Belle,” Snips said, his friend never having shown an interest in the white unicorn before.

“What do you mean?” Snails questioned in his usual, goofy way while looking over his shoulder at his friend, “We wished to have girlfriends, not to be in love with somepony.”

Snips slapped his face. Snails didn’t understand what a girlfriend entailed, and just picked the first filly that had come his way. While Sweetie Belle wasn’t a poor choice by any means, Snails was now going to be stuck with her, even if he decided he wanted somepony else down the line. You could only have one special somepony, after all.

“What’re ya’ll talking about, Snips?” Applebloom asked, completely oblivious to the weirdness of Sweetie and Snails suddenly becoming boyfriend and girlfriend.

“Oh, nothing,” Snips deflected, unsure on how deeply the wish kept the one they kissed held in the enchantment.

“Really?” Applebloom said, clasping her hands behind her back while bending forward slightly, being childishly flirtatious with the colt in front of her, “Because Ah heard something about ‘girlfriends’, and Ah’m starting to think ya came here for more than a quick smooch.”

“W-Well yeah,” Snips said, not expecting Applebloom to be so forward. Then again, she never was the one to shy away from saying what she thought, “I was wondering… If you’d be my… Girlfriend?”

“Well it’s ‘bout time you asked me that.” Applebloom replied, “I was startin’ to think that I’d have to make the first move.”

“So that’s a yes?” Snips said, still partially questioning if anything that had played out that day was real. Sure, he had made the wish, and it was happening just like the Djinn said it would, but everything felt so surreal.

Applebloom’s smile widened, her pearly whites on full display. For the poor, wish controlled filly, this was a dream come true.

A short time later, a certain orange pegasus made her way to the Cutie Mark Crusader club house, blazing a trail through the orchard on her scooter. She was late, but she knew that she was not late enough that Applebloom and Sweetie Belle would have started cutie mark assisting duties without her. If anything, they would have tracked her down before heading off on their own.

So when she got to her destination, parked her scooter, and climbed the ramp up to the club’s door, she had no doubt that her friends would be inside when she opened the door. What she didn’t expect was who else might be there, and what everypony would be doing.

Turning the knob, the pegasus swung the door open, announcing her arrival by saying loudly, “I’m here!” A part of her expected the other two fillies to be startled, but when the scene inside met her gaze, what she saw made her jump instead.

Sweetie Belle and Snails had taken up a position in the center of the single room building, laying face to face on their stomachs, propping their head up with their arms as Sweetie looked lovingly into Snails’ eyes, the colt wearing a pleased smirk, the two unicorns so close to one another they were casually rubbing horns. They exchanged light kisses with one another, Sweetie Belle having picked up the lower half of her legs to happily kick them back and forth between each tiny peck, and giggling with joy each time one was completed.

As bizarre as seeing Sweetie kiss a colt, one that wasn’t Button Mash, was to the pegasus, it was nothing compared to what Applebloom was doing. She and Snips had taken up residence in one of the corners of the room, Snips using a wooden crate stored in the club as his seat, while Applebloom used Snips’ lap as hers. The two were going at it, making out at full force as Scootaloo could see their muzzles create small bulges from time to time as one of their tongues pressed into the inside of the other’s cheek. The pegasus had never seen two foals give one another such an intense kiss, and she reactively covered her eyes when the two momentarily broke the kiss to take a breath, both heavily panting with their tongues hanging out, a steadily drooping string of saliva still connecting the two together while they were separated.

The two stayed apart only for as long as it took that piece of viscus fluid to snap, and then they were back too it, both making elated noises that sounded more adult than any pony their age had the right to sound. When Scootaloo spotted through her fingers that Snips’ hands were beginning to wander around Applebloom’s body, the pegasus decided it was time to put a stop to this.

“Uh, girls…” Scootaloo said politely at her friends, fairly mortified about the situation she was in. Her embarrassment waned a little though when she saw that everypony else in the room was just ignoring her. So again, she called out to the other fillies in the room, repeating “Girls”, but with a bit more confidence this time. Once more, no response, which really annoyed the pegasus. So taking in a deep breath, Scootaloo let loose her voice as loudly as she could, yelling “GIRLS!” so loudly that no pony could pretend she wasn’t there.

As expected, everypony stopped what they were doing, Applebloom having to take a moment to wipe some spittle from her lips when she realized there was another pony present. “Scootaloo,” the earth filly said, her face becoming flush, “How long have ya been standing there?”

“Long enough,” Scootaloo replied, “What the hay has gotten into you all? You didn’t mix up another batch of love potion, did you?”

“Oh goodness, no,” Sweetie Belle replied, picking herself off the ground, “Snips and Snails just came over today and to ask us to be their girlfriends, and we-.”

“Said yes,” Scootaloo interrupted, “I can see that, but this doesn’t make sense. Applebloom, you never said anything about being into Snips, especially not like… that!”

“Not out loud,” Applebloom admitted, hopping out of Snips’ lap, “But Ah’ve always liked Snips. Don’t you think he’s dreamy?”

Scootaloo watched as Snips went a little red from Applebloom’s compliment, giving a nervous laugh that felt like it was from a little more than public humiliation.

“And you, Sweetie,” Scootaloo said, going to the other member of the group, “What do you think Button will think when he hears about this?”

“Well...” Snails said, speaking his thoughts aloud, “He should just be happy that Sweetie Belle is happy, shouldn’t he?”

“Snails is right,” Sweetie said, latching onto Snails’ arm, “If Button really cares about my feelings, then he’ll want me to be happy no matter what.”

“What? That… That doesn’t make sense!” said Scootaloo, as even she could see the flawed logic in what Sweetie was saying, since it made it obvious that Sweetie wasn’t showing any consideration for Button’s feelings in all this. Knowing that Sweetie was not that kind of filly, Scootaloo walked right over to Snips and grabbed his arm.

“Hey, what are you doing?!” Snips said, startled by Scootaloo’s aggressive actions towards him.

“Hold still,” she replied, yanking his arm outward, inspecting it thoroughly, “I’m looking for evil items.”

Scootaloo didn’t think that Snips and Snails were evil. They were mischievous at times, perhaps a bit stupid, but they never did anything with malicious intent. However, Scootaloo knew from experience that even good ponies could be corrupted if they got a hold of powerful artifacts. She was suspecting that the boys had stumbled across some sort of evil object that were often found scattered around Ponyville, and that was the cause of the weirdness going on.

When finding nothing on his arm, and then the other, Scootaloo resorted to searching the colt’s mane, then lifting up his shirt, and going so far as to grab his pants waist and pull it out to get a quick glance inside. As she did this, Snips openly protested over the whole thing, giving a good amount of “Hey!”s and “Quit it!”s during the whole ordeal. When Scootaloo finished, she of course ended up empty handed, with nothing for her to find, even if her assumptions on there being some evil causing all this were factually true. Still, she wasn’t about to give up, there was one other colt to check. Thus, she bee-lined herself over to Snails.

“Now wait a second, Scootaloo,” Sweetie objected, “You can’t just go around frisking ponies without permission.”

“Aww, It’s ok,” Snails said, “She can search me if it makes her feel better.”

Scootaloo was a little suspicious, but still determined to figure out what was going on. So she went before Snails, and started patting him down, beginning at the bottom and working her way up. Of the two colts, no one ever thought of Snails being the brains of the duo. No one really thought of either being worthy of that title, but least of all Snails, so as Scootaloo’s investigation went on, she started to have doubts that Snails would have anything on him either, as Snips would certainly be the one to hold onto anything powerful if the colts had such a thing.

By the time she was checking his upper torso, she wondered if she was mistaken about everything, as odd as that was. Standing up to eye level with Snails, she relented, “Okay, I guess you’re cle-MMPH!”

With Scootaloo right in front of him, Snails took the opportunity, his head shooting forward to strike. He easily joined lips with Scootaloo, the last thing she was expecting being a kiss from the colt.

The two other fillies gasped, and Snips’ eyes went wide, “Snails, what are you doing?!” he yelled at Snails, thinking that his fellow colt had just did the worst possible thing he could think of.

“I’m getting her to stop worrying about the kissing,” Snails said, believing that he had found a simple solution to Scootaloo’s suspicions.

All eyes in the room were now focused on the pegasus, most wondering how she would react, half of them not knowing about the wish, and Snips questioning if the wish worked the way Snails implied he thought it would. Fortunately for the boys, Snails was right, and the wish was taking effect just like it did with Applebloom and Sweetie Belle. Unfortunately for Scootaloo, it was not as simple for her to change like they did.

The pegasus felt like her brain was exploding, as newfound feelings hit her hard. She had never felt affection for the colts in her class, never so much as humored the idea, but now a love for Snails was becoming her entire world. It grew until it became bigger than any form of love she had for anything else; more than helping ponies get their cutie marks, more than her tricks and stunts, and even more than her love for Rainbow Dash. For the insignificant amount of time she stayed herself, she felt like she was going crazy, like reality was shattering around her, but when all was said and done, her conversion took no more time than it did the other two girls to complete. The wish was absolute, and no amount of will or frame of mind could prevent it from taking hold.

“How do you feel?” Snails said smugly, able to tell by Scootaloo’s reaction that what he had done what he intended to do, “Ready for another kiss?”

Scootaloo, bent over and breathing a little hard from her drastic mental alteration, looked up at Snails and replied with, “Another kiss like that? Yeah, lets do it.”

Snails took Scootaloo’s hands in his, the pegasus displaying a timid bashfulness that was unusual for the normally outgoing filly as he did, before giving her a much longer kiss right on the mouth. The others watched with amazement, especially Snips, who hadn’t anticipated this outcome. He didn’t expect the wish to be permanent, that it could work on not just any girl, but every girl they kissed. Thinking back on Atamanna’s words, he realized that she didn’t imply any limits to the wish.

From now on, any girl that you kiss on the lips

That was the terminology the goat used, and that appeared to be what she meant. Of course, even if that was what she meant, Snips could see problems with this, problems that could be found in the very room they currently stood in. Turning his gaze away from Snails and Scootaloo, he looked to Sweetie Belle, who looked to be watching the two foals kiss… in awe?

“Sweetie Belle,” Snips said, “You’re ok with this?”

“Why wouldn’t I be?” Sweetie said, “If Snails wants to have another girlfriend, why should I be mad about it?”

“G-Girlfriend,” Scootaloo said, breaking the kiss, “You w-want to be my boyfriend? Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my-.”

Snails took the filly’s muzzle into his hand, and guided her into another kiss to silence her. He kept their lips locked until the pegasus relaxed, then brought it to an end to say, “From now on, you and Sweetie Belle are my girlfriends, and will do whatever it takes to make me happy, right?” Scootaloo nodded in agreement as hearts formed in her eyes, wanting more than anything else to make sure that Snails was always happy.

Snips was still in disbelief, not understanding everything that was going on, only able to utter from his lips, “Wha-. I don’t-. how did you-?”

“Geez, It’s not that hard to get,” said Snails, bringing Scootaloo over to Sweetie, “The genie said they would be loyal and devoted. So no matter what we do, they’ll still be our girlfriends.”

Snips couldn’t believe that, but as the two fillies Snails had converted giddily hopped up and down on spot at the prospect of being co-girlfriends with Snails, a thought started to form in his head.

“Hey, Applebloom,” he started, “Would you mind if I wanted to get another girlfriend?”

Applebloom didn’t even have to think about that question to answer, “Do ya want another girlfriend? Iffin’ ya do, Ah don’t mind.”

Snips shook a little, the idea of having any two fillies he wanted to himself a bit exciting. “And what if I wanted… more than two girlfriends?”

“Well how many ya want?” Applebloom asked, “Ten? Twenty? A hundred? Ah really don’t mind that much, so long as Ah can be one of them.”

Snips started to tremble harder, she was serious. He could get as many girlfriends as he wanted, and none of them would ever care that he was sucking face with a bunch of other fillies. Then another idea came to mind.

“What if… I wanted to see…” he said with a gulp, his mind going wild as some urges rose up to the surface, “You and another filly kiss each other?”

“Well Ah’ve never thought about kissing a girl before,” Applebloom said, placing a finger to her chin as she thought about it, “But if ya want to see it, then I guess it might be kinda nice. Yeah, Ah’d do it.”

Jackpot. The wish had opened the door to the colt’s fantasies. A dream he didn’t even think was possible, as he thought relationships could only be done in pairs, was now his reality. While he still liked Applebloom more than any other filly, there were others he had as second and third choices, and having tasted of the forbidden fruit of one tree, he was hungry for more.

“But hold up a minute,” Applebloom said, “As much fun as all that sounds, Ah have some questions about all this. How is it that Scootaloo was acting all suspicious of ya both a minute ago, but now she’s ready to be Snails’ girlfriend. Then ya start asking all these questions about other girls… Is something going on?”

Snips didn’t know what to say to that, but Snails most certainly did, “Oh, we wished on a genie that we could have girlfriends, and she made it so any girl we kiss will fall in love with us.”

“SNAILS!” Snips couldn’t believe it. If there was anything that could break the wish, that was it.

The girls exchanged looks with one another, and then looked back to the boys.

“Ya’ll two went through the trouble of wishin’ for girlfriends to get with us?” Applebloom said, more intrigued than outraged.

“That’s so sweet,” Sweetie Belle said, “Like something out of a story book.”

“You two didn’t have to do all that just to date us,” Scootaloo finished, still believing that she had always loved Snails.

Those replies confirmed it, the boys could do no wrong. Even admitting that they had done something to make the Crusaders love them wasn’t enough to make them not love them. Devoted and loyal, no matter what.

It was all a bit much for Snips, who had exhausted himself from self induced stress. He needed a break, at least for today. “Ok, well if that’s settled, then I think it’s time me and Snails went home.”

“Awww, but I wanted to do more kissing,” Snails said, a little upset that he hadn’t gotten as much time with his new toy as he had with Sweetie Belle.

“You can make out more tomorrow,” Snips insisted, “Right now, I need some time to think about how we should move. We can all meet up here tomorrow, first thing in the morning.”

The Crusaders agreed, with Scootaloo saying, “I’ll make sure to be here bright and early.”

“And girls,” Snips added, “Me and Snails need you to keep our wish a secret.”

“Sure thing,” Applebloom said compliantly.

“We’d hate for our boyfriends to get in trouble,” Sweetie Belle agreed.

Now feeling safe about their new secret, Snips grabbed Snails by the arm and led him out of the club house, intent on returning the following morning when his head was more clear.

The following morning, all five foals returned to the club house, with Snips a little more enlightened with his newfound powers. The unicorn colt had done a little testing after telling Snails to go home for the day, stopping at Sugarcube Corner. He had managed to kiss Ms. Cake, which only got him a light scolding and a bit of embarrassment, especially when she refused to give him free cupcakes after, which seemed to confirm that the wish didn’t work on her. It appeared that the wish followed the exact wording of how the Djinn said it, which meant that the kisses would affect any girl, but not any woman.

That was fine with him though, as he wasn’t trying to date adults, and it actually took a load off his mind when it came to showing his mom affection in the future, since the lightest peck seemed to activate the wish. Now that he was sure of how the wish worked, he knew exactly how he wanted to use it.

“I now bring to order the first meeting of The Snips and Snails Girlfriend Committee.” Snips said from behind the Crusaders’ podium.

The three fillies gave a small round of applause at Snips’ announcement, while Snails sat in blissful observation, one of his girlfriends sitting on either side of him.

When finished, Snips went on to say, “We are here today to decide which fillies from school will go to which colt in a draft, so me and Snails can decide now, and not fight over fillies later.” Pulling out a long pointing stick he brought from home, Snips turned around and aimed it to a long, nearly blank piece of white paper that only had his and Snails’ name on it, with a line between them separating them into two sections, “Since Snails already has two girlfriends, I’ll be taking first pick.”

“Sounds fair to me,” Snails said, honestly not that concerned with what particular fillies that he got, just that he got his fair share.

“Ok, then for my first pick I think I’d like… Diamond Tiara,” Snips said, taping a photo of Diamond Tiara onto the sheet. He had spent some time the night prior cutting up one of his old year books, so that he could have visual representation while each colt made their picks.

“Diamond Tiara?” Applebloom questioned, “Don’t ya think she’s a bit stuck up?”

“Well, yeah, she is” Snips agreed, “But I think that with the right colt reining her in, we can adjust that attitude of hers.”

Snips had no doubt that if he got control of Diamond Tiara, he could get rid of her mean streak. One kiss, and she would do anything to please him, even go against her nature.

“If you get Diamond Tiara, then I want Silver Spoon,” Snails said, wanting at least one of the high class fillies.

Snips put Silver Spoon’s picture up on Snails’ side of the sheet, expecting that outcome. “Ok, then I want Dinky Doo.” he said in turn, selecting his first unicorn.

“And I’ll take Sunny Days,” Snails said almost instantly after.

Snips kept placing pictures on the wall as the names were chosen. He would get Key Lime, and Snails would get Peachy Pie. He would get Lily Longsocks, and Snails would get Tag-A-Long. He would get Peppermint Twist, and Snails would get Babs Seed, whenever she came to visit Applebloom next. Each choice came with commentary from Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo, mostly with positive opinions after Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara were sorted. They were really excited with the idea of creating filly harems for their boyfriends, finding out who would become part of theirs, and eventually helping make it happen when it was time for a new filly to be brought into the fold, by force if need be.

Snips kept adding images up on the wall, never having felt so happy in his entire life. This wasn’t even all he had planned that day, as after this he wanted to decide on harem uniforms, intent on getting Applebloom to get out of her overalls and into a dress. Then he wanted to discuss pet names, dating schedules, and things that all the fillies could do with one another when he was occupied with another girl.

Most of all, Snips thought about how lucky he was to get this wish. For all of his short life, he had been attracted to ponies who had power, both him and Snails acting as lackeys to such ponies on several occasions. Now he was the one with power, a power so great that if he and Snails desired it, any… no, every filly in Equestria could be theirs with but a simple kiss. They say power can corrupt absolutely, and this power was absolute.
