Unexpected Changes

"Hey Twily, is everything okay?" Sunset asked as she carefully opened the door to Twilight's room. "Your mom called, she said you've been up here working for the last couple of days without coming down except to eat."

"Huh, oh, yeah," Twilight said as she rubbed her eyes a little and looked at the young woman with a tired smile. "Sorry Sunset, I've just been looking into something lately."

"Is there a problem? I mean, you only work like this when something important is going on," Sunset said as she gently wrapped her arms around the purple skinned girl. "Come on, your family and friends are getting worried about you, what's going on?"

"Have you heard about the recent rise of weird power surges in rural areas?" Twilight asked as she removed her glasses and sighed a little.

"Yeah, I saw something on the news about that," Sunset said with a shrug. "I thought it was weird, but they said it was just a glitch in the system or something. Why is that bothering you?"

"Its not a glitch, see, every time a surge happens I've been getting a massive reading from my own equipment," Twilight said with a shake of her head. "Its Equestrian magic, and I'm afraid that its not just in one area either."

"What kind of Equestrian magic do you think?"

"I honestly have no idea, I've been going through historical records, legends, anything," Twilight said. "The closest I can find is a story about a village that vanished near one of the sites. There's no information on what happened, just that it vanished into thin air one day."

"Weird," Sunset said and paused a moment as she thought about that for a long moment. "So, you think this might have something to do with Equestrian magic?"

"Yeah, I'm running a search for weird disappearances right..." Twilight said as there was a ding from her computer. "Did you find something?"

"Maybe," Twilight said as she pulled open the window and both of their eyes went wide when they saw the news article that had been found and the picture that was under it.

SEARCH FOR MISSING GIRL CALLED OFF.

The search for 8 year old Sunset Shimmer has finally ended after almost two months. The local orphanage that she was living in the town of Sunrise Lake has said that the girl had attempted to run away on several occasions before, and believes that this was another attempt. The police have searched the surrounding woods thoroughly, but there have been no leads on the whereabouts of the young child and she is believed dead.

If anyone has any information, please Call the Sunrise Lake Police Hotline at...

Below the article was an image of a young Sunset Shimmer that looked like she was about 7 or 8.

"But, that's impossible right?" Twilight asked as she looked up at Sunset. "This article is over 10 years old, how long ago did you arrive on Earth?"

"Not even half that long," Sunset said with a pause. "Is it possible this is the me from this universe?"

"Maybe... but then why did she go missing?" Twilight asked.

"And what happened to her..." Sunrise added and shook her head a little. "I don't know Twilight, something about all of this is weird. I don't know what's going on here, what's the connection?"

"Its where the first of the surges came from, and where the missing village was," Twilight said and paused a moment. "I don't like this, something about all of this is weird..."

Sunset nodded softly as she looked at the screen for a long moment. She had sometimes wondered where her own counterpart in the human world was, had she really been missing this whole time? Was it possible she was dead?

She sighed a little, that was going to bug her to no end, but for now they didn't have any options but to hope that if her counterpart was out there somewhere she was okay.

"Alright, lets see if we can find something else out, but you need to get out of the house," Sunset said. "Besides, we have a double date tonight with Rarity and Applejack remember? Do you really want to explain to them why we had to cancel on them?"

"Oh that was tonight?" Twilight asked and facepalmed. "I'm sorry, I've been so busy with everything I don't even have an outfit picked out yet!"

"Twily, calm down, you'll look fine no matter what," Sunset said with a chuckle as she kissed her girlfriend gently on the lips. "Come on, how about you show me what you've found and we can figure out a pattern. We still have a few hours before its time to go anyway."

"Alright, well the surges seem to be popping up at random," Twilight said as Sunset leaned over and looked at the screen for a long moment.

Neither of them noticed that Twilight's tablet had a notification of a new reading coming from Sweet Apple Acres.

<--->

"Rarity, Ah don't understand why yah have ta spend so much time gettin' ready," Applejack commented as she waited outside of her bedroom where Rarity was trying on outfits that she had brought with her to show off to her girlfriend.

Correction, the small mountain of outfits that Rarity had brought with her.

"Darling, I want to look my best! This is our first double date with Twilight and Sunset," Rarity said from inside.

"We ain't exactly goin' ta tha fanciest restaurant in Canterlot yah know," Applejack said with a roll of her eyes. Still, she knew that Rarity was going to look beautiful no matter what she dressed in, the farm girl sighed and looked out the window towards the barn where Big Mac was working, she chuckled a little when she saw a woman with lavender skin and a curly purple mane walking out of the car and off towards the barn.

"Looks like we ain't tha only ones havin' some fun today," she commented with a chuckle.

"What was that Applejack darling?" Rarity asked.

"Oh, nothin' sugarcube, Sugar Belle just came by is all," Applejack said with a shrug and started to look away from the barn when she stopped in mid-stride.

She could've sworn she saw a quadrupedal figure with a golden horn sticking out of a cloak moving out of the shadows near the barn. It suddenly snapped up and looked at Applejack in the window with barely visible green eyes.

"What tha..." she said and the figure vanished in a flash of green.

"I'm coming out," Rarity said and opened the door revealing the pale skinned woman dressed in a long flowing purple dress that hugged her curves nicely, but Applejack was still looking out the window. "Applejack, what's wrong?"

"Ah have no idea," Applejack admitted as she looked back at Rarity and smiled a little. "Yah look beautiful Rarity, sorry Ah just thought Ah saw somethin' outside is all."

"What did you see?"

"Ah, don't know... Ah swear it almost looked like a Unicorn or somethin', in a cloak," Applejack admitted as she rubbed the back of her head sheepishly. "Ah know it sounds crazy, but its what it looked like ta me."

"I see, well, maybe we should call Sunset," Rarity said.

"Nah, its probably nothin' more than mah imagination," Applejack said and shrugged a little. "Ah mean Ah know Unicorns are real in Equestria, but its kinda silly ta think that they're over here. We'll talk ta her about it tonight, Ah doubt its that big a deal."

"Oh all right, so how do I look?" Rarity asked and did a little twirl. "I just finished this today."

"Yah look amazin'," Applejack said and leaned in and kissed Rarity softly on the lips.

"Applejack, you say that about everything I wear," Rarity said with a smirk.

"Because yah look amazin' in everything," Applejack said with a chuckle as the two shared a long kiss.

They didn't notice as there was a soft glow coming from outside and motes of energy flew through the window into the two women. They glowed briefly before it faded just as they broke the kiss.

"Did yah just feel somethin'?" Applejack asked as she looked at Rarity.

"No, did you?" Rarity asked and Applejack shrugged. "Come on, lets get you ready for the date, I'm not letting my marefriend go looking like a slob."

Applejack just groaned and rolled her eyes as she let Rarity push her into the bedroom to get changed. "But Ah don't have anythin' nice ta wear."

"That's why I brought some for you silly," Rarity said with a giggle. "Don't worry darling, you'll look fine."

Applejack just snorted a little and shook her head as she let Rarity start to undress her and go over the clothing options that she had brought with her.

<--->

At the same time Applejack was waiting on Rarity, Big Macintosh was working on getting his chores done in the barn. He had finished feeding the animals and stretched out a little bit, he knew that Sugar Belle would be there soon so he was hoping to get everything done so he could spend some time with his girlfriend with time to spare.

He smiled a little, it had only been a few months since he had met Sugar Belle and while it had taken some getting used to the fact that he had a girlfriend he had done his best to be the boyfriend she wanted him to be. He took a deep breath and smiled a little when he heard the sound of a car pulling up and he looked up just in time to see a cloaked four legged creature move out of his view.

"Hey Big Mac!" Sugar Belle said happily as she made her way into the bar and noticed the confused look on his face. "Is everything okay?"

"Eyup, just finished here," Big Mac said as he looked at Sugar Belle who was dressed in a cut off t-shirt and shorts, she gave him a big smile. "Ah just thought Ah saw somethin' weird is all, it was probably just mah imagination."

"Well, I'm glad to see you again," Sugar Belle said as she leaned in and kissed Big Mac on the lips as the same motes of energy that entered Rarity and Applejack swirled around and entered them. "So, what did you have in mind for today? You said your sister and her girlfriend was going out later."

"Eyup, Ah was thinkin' we could take a ride out ta tha lake," Big Mac said as he nodded to a couple of horses that were already all saddled up. "Ah made us a nice picnic that we could enjoy together, and just, yah know..."

"Enjoy each other's company?" Sugar Belle asked with a smile as she gave him a soft smile and pressed closer, Big Mac blushed a little as a scent hit his nostrils that he didn't recognize.

"Eyup," he said with a shake of his head as he tried to ignore the scent. "So, do yah want ta go?"

"Sounds nice," Sugar Belle said as they got up on their horses and they started off together.

<--->

As the couple reached the lake, Big Mac climbed off first and offered his hand to Sugar Belle who took it and climbed down and into his strong arms. As the two had traveled though, things had started to get weird without them noticing, Big Mac's skin had turned red and fur was starting to grow over his body and Sugar Belle's ears were migrating to the top of her head and becoming more pointed.

As the two came in close contact with each other, tails grew out of their tail bones that formed fur that resembled their hair. The couple didn't even notice as these changes were progressing and Big Mac set out the picnic that they had brought with them.

"This is really nice," Sugar Belle said as Big Mac finished laying it out. She smiled as she took a seat and picked up a sandiwch before taking a bite. "Mmm, yummy, did you make this yourself?"

"Eyup, nothin' but the best for mah Sugar Belle," Big Mac said as Sugar Belle smiled and leaned in and kissed him again, the smell hitting his nostrils once more. "Yah smell great today Sugar. What is that smell?"

"Really? I'm not wearing anything new or anything," Sugar said with a blush but smiled a little when she saw the growing bulge in his pants. "Mmm, somepony's happy to see me. Did you have an ulterior motive for bringing me out here Big Mac?"

"Enope," Big Mac said with a blush as she leaned forward more. Actually he really had just wanted to enjoy the day with her, he hadn't even considered it but now Sugar Belle was pressing up against him and pushing him back against the ground.

"Mmm, too bad, I guess we have to improvise then," she said with a smile as she pulled off his pants revealing his erect shaft. "Improvisation can be fun though, what do you think?"

"Eyup..." Big Mac said and leaned back a little. This was admittedly his first time, and as far as he could tell it was Sugar Belle's first time too, so he had to admit he was a little nervous, but he couldn't help but be aroused as she removed her shirt and bra, revealing her bare chest and fur covered breasts underneath. "Are yah sure..."

"I'm very sure Big Mac," she said with a smile as she leaned down and ran her tongue slowly along his shaft's tip. He let out a whinny of surprise as he felt her tongue work and the changes the two were undergoing suddenly started to accelerate from the sexual contact between the two.

As the magic began to concentrate, their hands started to fuse into hooves and a bump began to form on Sugar Belle's forehead.

<--->

"Rares, Ah feel like a mannequin," Applejack said as she rolled her eyes and held her arms out while Rarity worked on making sure her outfit was just right. "Do yah really have ta keep workin' like this? Why don't Ah just wear somethin' in mah closet?"

"Applejack, you need to look presentable," Rarity said with a roll of her eyes. "You keep fidgeting and I keep having to re-do measurements for some reason. Its a good thing I always bring my emergency sewing supplies with me."

"Yeah, good thing," Applejack said with a roll of her eyes and let out a light eep when Rarity wrapped the tape around her chest to measure her bust. "Yer enjoyin' this aren't yah? Havin' yer girlfriend completely at yer mercy like this."

"A mare has to enjoy what she does," Rarity said with a giggle as she kissed the back of Applejack's neck lightly. "Besides, if you're good I may give you a nice reward tonight. What do you think, does that sound good?"

"Ah suppose, but Ah think its silly, its not like we normally wear clothes," Applejack said with a roll of her eyes as she swished her newly grown tail behind her a little. "Ah mean, we're not human fer cryin' out loud even if we kinda look it, what's even tha point of actin' like we are?"

"Because humans have their little hang ups on public nudity and we're not exactly equine looking," Rarity said with a roll of her eyes as she swished her tail a little. "Besides, I think you'll look wonderful in this. Don't worry Applejack, I'll make it up to you tonight."

"Yah better," Applejack said with a huff as she felt Rarity's hands working. "Ah still feel silly wearin' this thing."

"Well, at least do it for me, okay?" Rarity said with a smile as she finished working on it. "You're going to to look beautiful darling, and besides, I'd rather not have those silly humans checking out my beautiful marefriend."

Applejack blushed a little and smiled as Rarity moved up and kissed the farm girl gently on the lips as she wrapped her arms around her waist. The two shared a long kiss, closing their eyes as they started to deepen it, as much as Rarity wanted to wait she had to admit she was tempted to pounce on Applejack right then and there.

"How about we..." she started to say when her phone started to ring and she sighed a little before checking it, it was Sunset Shimmer and she answered it. "Sunset darling, we were just getting ready for tonight."

"Rarity, are you at Sweet Apple Acres right now?" Sunset's voice asked on the other end.

"Yes of course I am Sunset, I had to make sure that Applejack looks her best when we go on our date tonight," Rarity said with a smile as she looked over at Applejack and gave her a wink. "Why do you ask?"

"Well, uh, do you see anything strange going on over there?" Sunset asked. "We're getting some strange magical readings coming from your area and I wanted to make sure that nothing is going wrong."

Rarity blinked a little as she walked over to the window and looked out, her tail swishing a little behind her as she looked around the farm. She had no idea what she might be looking for, but as far as she could tell there was nothing wrong where she was.

"No Sunset, everything looks normal here," she said. "Is it possible you're getting a false reading or something? I'm sure its nothing."

"Yeah, maybe," Sunset said with a sigh. "Sorry, we've just been really on edge lately. If you see anything unusual, could you let me know?"

"Of course, I'll tell everypony here to keep an eye out," Rarity said. "I'll see you and Twilight later, okay? Try not to be late this time, I know you two have work to do but you should always be punctual for a date."

"Alright alright," Sunset said. "I'll make sure Twilight doesn't keep us."

"Good, I'll see you later," Rarity said as she hung up her phone and looked back at Applejack with a smile.

"What was that about?" Applejack asked as Rarity returned to her side and made sure that everything was in place.

"Oh, Sunset and Twilight were worried because they were picking up some sort of unusual magical readings coming from the farm," Rarity said with a shrug. "But since nothing seems to have changed or whatever, I doubt its anything to be worried about right now."

"Yeah, Ah hope so," Applejack said as she looked at herself in the mirror. "Wow, Ah look..."

"Beautiful? I know, I really went all out on this one," Rarity said with a smile as she wrapped her arms around Applejack from behind. "I love you Applejack, I couldn't ask for a better marefriend."

"Ah love yah too Rarity," Applejack said with a smile as she turned around and gently kissed the pale skinned woman on the lips. "So we still have a bit before we have ta get goin', so what did yah want ta do before?"

"Oh, I'm sure you can figure it out," Rarity said with a giggle as she played with the straps of Applejack's dress a little. "Come on, lets just enjoy ourselves for a bit."

The two women kissed each other passionately as they started to pull their dresses off slowly, careful not to rip them.

<--->

"What did she say?" Twilight asked as she looked at Sunset worriedly. "Did she see anything in Sweet Apple Acres that might explain the magical surge?"

"No, she didn't seem to think that anything was out of the ordinary," Sunset said with a shrug. "Is it possible its just a false reading or something?"

"Maybe," Twilight said as she looked at the information again. "This is very sensitive, so its possible that it just picked up their crystals or something. I wish I knew though, maybe we should go to..."

"We'll worry about that later," Sunset said with a laugh as she kissed Twilight gently. "We don't have to go right now you know, if Rarity doesn't think anything unusual is going on then its probably fine."

"I hope so," Twilight said with a shake of her head. "I'm still worried though, I haven't seen this much magical activity in... well, I don't think I've ever seen this much magical activity. Something about this whole thing is weird, like there's something we're missing and I can't place my finger on it."

"Yeah, I know what you mean," Sunset said with a sigh and a shake of her head. "But Rarity and Applejack know this stuff as well as we do. I'm sure that if they say everything is..."

Sunset paused a moment when she thought back to the conversation she had with Rarity. Rarity had said "everypony" not "everyone." That was odd when she thought about it, why did Rarity say that?

"Is something wrong Sunset?" Twilight asked as she looked back at the flame haired girl. "Something seems to be bothering you."

"Its just, I don't know, something about this doesn't feel right to me," Sunset said with a shake of her head. "I can't put my finger on it, but I get the feeling that something bad is going on there. Maybe we should go see what's going on."

"I think we shouldn't worry right now," Twilight said as she leaned in and gave Sunset a soft kiss on the lips. "You know how those two are, they're probably more in tune with the local magic than we are so they know better than we do what the situation is like. We'll talk to them about it when we see them tonight, I promise."

"Alright, I'll take your word for it," Sunset said with a nod. "I just hope you're right and it really is nothing, the last thing we need is more Equestrian magic causing trouble around here."

"I know, and I'll help as best I can," Twilight said with a smile. "But for now we just need to get ready for the date and maybe look into some more things. I'm sure if we put our heads together we can figure out what's going on here, right?"

"Yeah, I hope so," Sunset said with a smile as she looked back at the readings. "I just have a really weird feeling about this. I can't place my finger on it, you know? Its like there's something going on here that we don't know all the facts to."

"Don't worry Sunny, we'll figure it out," Twilight said with a smile. "Now come on, lets get ready, besides, I'm sure everything is just fine over at Sweet Apple Acres. What's the worst that could be happening?"

<--->

Big Mac let out a whinny as his seed spurted out of his growing shaft into Sugar Belle's mouth. She smiled up at him as she licked her newly formed muzzle to get the juices off and pulled back a little. The pair was now almost completely unrecognizable from their human selves, resembling more humanoid ponies that could barely stand on their hind legs.

"Mmm, hey stud," Sugar Belle said as Big Mac looked at her and his stallionhood slid back out of its sheath when he saw that she was on all fours and had her tail pushed to the side to reveal her winking marehood. He could smell the pheromones coming from her, and he realized she was in heat. "What do you say big boy? Take your mare like you know you want to..."

"Are yah sure? Ah mean, yer..." Big Mac said as he could feel his arousal starting to grow. "What if yah get pregnant?"

"Do you think I care? I want to do it... I want to carry your foal," Sugar said as she swished her tail and let out a light moan. "I don't care if I might get pregnant, I want it... I want you more than anything."

Big Mac blushed a little as he stared at her flanks a long moment. He honestly wasn't sure exactly what to think of that, it wasn't that he didn't consider having a foal with Sugar Belle, but they hadn't even talked about it before. They weren't even married yet, but he was starting to consider doing it anyway.

The scent of her heat still pressed against his nostrils, enticing him. There was something about this that bugged him, but he couldn't figure out why. It was like he didn't remember her being like this at all, like she had been different before but he couldn't imagine why, he shook his head and looked between her legs again as her marehood winked at him.

"Big Mac, I wouldn't ask this of you if I didn't think you'd make a great father," Sugar Belle said with a smile as she looked back at the stallion. "I love you and I want to bear your foal..."

Big Mac didn't need much more prompting, he wanted to mate with her more than anything, but something kept pressing at the back of his mind. "Sugar Belle, do yah, think that somethin' is weird?"

"Like what?" She asked.

"Like, we ain't what we're supposed ta be," he said with a shake of his head.

"Nope, we're like we've been for years," Sugar Belle said with a smile. "We were born ponies, we haven't ever been anything different."

Big Mac paused a moment, he certainly remembered that. Spending time with his sisters, his parents, they weren't anything other than ponies. His memories felt fuzzy though, but at the same time he had no reason to doubt them, he was what he had always been and he wasn't anything different.

And his instincts as a pony were telling him to mount the mare in front of him. He loved her and he wanted to have a foal with her, they both wanted this and they weren't about to pass up this opportunity.

He nodded a moment before he moved in close and rubbed the tip of his shaft against her slit. She moaned and turned back and looked at him with a smile. "Does this mean you want to do this?"

"Eyup," Big Mac said with a smile as he placed his weight on the mare as her unicorn horn completely formed out of her forehead.

"Then take me big boy... I want you inside me so badly..." Sugar Belle said as she wiggled her butt at him a little "Come on, mount me you know you want to you big stud."

Big Mac needed no further prompting as he put his full weight on her, wrapping his forelegs around her a little as he thrusted into the waiting mare as she whinnied loudly. Any doubts left his mind as Big Mac thrust faster and deeper into her, the two ponies driven more by instinct than anything else as they mated.

This wasn't the first time they had sex together, but the sensation never felt better for the two of them. Sugar Belle let out a whinny as she felt his stallionhood, now at its full length, rub against her inner walls as he pushed past the medial ring. She moaned as he thrusted faster and deeper into her, nearly getting all of it into her as he did.

"Ohh... yesss... yessss..." she said as the medial ring rubbed against her g-spot. "Don't stop, I want you inside me so badly..."

Big Mac just grunted in response as he thrusted in deeper, his balls pressing against her as the sound of wet fur rubbing against wet fur could be heard. The stallion threw his head back as he felt himself getting closer, his stallionhood pressing up against the entrance to her womb as they both let out a loud whinny as he filled her with his seed.

Sugar Belle's marehood clamped down on him, drawing more out as they started to slow down a little before Big Mac finally dismounted from her breathing heavily. The two fell onto all fours, not even realizing how much had changed since they had first arrived, their bodies and minds were completely different because of whatever magic had done this.

"Wow, that was, different," Sugar Belle admitted as she fell back onto the blanket, blushing a little as the mixed juices leaked out.

"Eyup," Big Mac admitted as he looked at Sugar Belle and smiled softly. "Ah love yah Sugar Belle."

"I love you too," Sugar Belle said and leaned in and kissed her stallionfriend gently as the two laid there for awhile. "We should probably eat this lunch shouldn't we?"

Big Mac chuckled as they started eating together, not noticing that they were being watched from the shadows just as an apple appeared on Big Mac's flanks and a cupcake on Sugar Belle's.

Their transformation was complete.

<--->

After awhile the couple headed back to the farmhouse where Applejack and Rarity were just now getting ready to go. Rarity smiled and waved at them as they arrived, a Unicorn horn now sticking out of her forehead as she unlocked the car doors.

"Looks like someone had fun while they were gone," she said with a chuckle as she looked at Applejack and gave the other girl a kiss on the lips. "So, shall we get going?"

"Yeah, lets go," Applejack said as the two got into the car together with Rarity behind the wheel. "Ah still feel silly wearin' this dress yah know."

"I know, but I think you look beautiful," Rarity said with a soft smile as she leaned over and kissed Applejack again. "Besides, its only for a few hours. I promise, I'll make it up to you this evening."

"Yah better," Applejack said with a chuckle and nearly jumped a little when she felt a light pinch on her butt, which just made Rarity laugh. "Hey, no fair usin' yer Unicorn magic!"

"All's fair in love and war darling," Rarity said with a laugh as she started the car up and took off towards Canterlot.

The same cloaked figure looked towards where they were going and smiled as she looked down at a glowing pendant around her neck.

"Excellent, it is only a matter of time before I have all the power I need," she said as she levitated the pendant up and looked at it. The glow was coming from two gems that were in it as it glowed with intensity. "And with the magic in this city, I'll soon have everything I need to get rid of humans once and for all."

She chuckled as her horn glowed green again and she teleported away from the farm, her work here was done and she just had to find more victims now.
