“Onward!” Twilight declared, pointing her hoof at the ceiling. She slithered towards the door.

“Wait, Twilight. Wait a minute,” Moondancer said. “We can’t go out there looking like this, especially not all at once. Ponies will notice us!”

“Moondancer’s right,” Fluttershy said. “If we just go out into the open, we’ll get caught, and probably taken to Celestia, and then we wouldn’t able to feed our hungry bellies,” Fluttershy rubbed at her belly, speaking like it was a baby she had to take care of.

“Okay, okay,” Twilight said. “Calm down, everyone. I have a plan.”

“Is it a ‘go down on each other’ kind of plan?” Pinkie asked, waving her tail. “Because I have to admit, I’m kind of horny.”

“No, it’s not that kind of plan!” Twilight snapped. “For Celestia’s sake, Pinkie, keep it in your pants for a hot minute. There will be plenty of time to go down on each other later. No, my plan …”

Twilight’s horn flashed and filled the room with the color of her magic. After the flash was gone, the four lamias were all turned back into normal ponies, or so it seemed.

“Is a disguise spell,” Twilight said proudly, gesturing towards the door. “It’s not perfect. A strong enough shock will dispel it, our shadows will give us away, and our weights will match our real bodies if we end up on a scale, though I don’t see how that could happen. But other than that, we’re completely normal to the naked eye.” She opened the door and bowed. “Shall we?”

The others giggled, excitement bursting within them, as they went out the door.

“What to do, what to do first?” Pinkie Pie wondered, rubbing her hands with anticipation. She scanned the Canterlot homes. “So many ponies … so many options.”

“The best course of action would be to split up,” Twilight said. “It won’t take long for our other friends in Ponyville to wonder what’s wrong if you two stay here too long. Go back home and … let them know I’m alright,” Twilight smirked, her euphemism clear. “Moondancer and I will stay here and take care of Canterlot.”

“But what if Celestia finds you?” Fluttershy asked.

“Leave that to me,” Twilight said, “I’ll deal with her. Sweet-talk to get her off our backs long enough that we can keep going … and if that fails, well …” Twilight mimed the closing of a jaw, bringing her fingers together into one lock. “Chomp. In she’ll go.”

Fluttershy giggled, though that and the compliment which followed seemed to be more out of delirium from her recent hypnosis rather than genuine amazement. “You’re so smart, Twilight.”

“Okay, bye!” Pinkie and Fluttershy waved as they broke away from the party.

“While they do that,” Twilight said, “where would you like to hit up first, Moondancer?”

“Isn’t it obvious?” Moondancer said. “I would like to pay a visit to our old friends, Minutte and Lemon Hearts.”

“Ooh!” Twilight squealed, getting a terrifying glint in her eye. “I like the cut of your jib, Moondancer.” She ran a hand over her stomach. “Those two ought to be quite filling, yes.” Her stomach rumbled eagerly at the thought of consuming Moondancer’s friends.

Minuette and Lemon Hearts wandered around the library, looking for signs of Moondancer. They hadn't heard a peep from Moondancer for a day or two and were beginning to grow concerned. It wasn't unusual for Moondancer to be asocial, but she would normally at least put a note on her door explaining she didn't feel like hanging out or got caught up in a research project.

"Where could she be?" Minuette asked Lemon Hearts.

They had gone to Moondancer's house to see if maybe Moondancer had posted a note to the door where there was none yesterday, or the day before, that might explain her whereabouts and grant them some relief. Alas, no such luck. They had gone to Moondancer's house, gone inside Moondancer's house, walked around in search of her, called out her name, and found nothing with no response from her. They even tried her lab, but the door was locked tight and they couldn't get inside. So Lemon Hearts had suggested the library, which really, should have been their first choice after the house, but they had gone and searched the lab and they were here searching in the library now.

"Moondancer!" Lemon Hearts called. "Moondancer!" She risked getting into trouble with the librarians by raising her voice ever so slightly.

"Who is calling me?" Moondancer's voice came from around the corner. Lemon Hearts and Minuette clapped and turned to each other as if to confirm they heard the same thing, smiling. "Who’s interrupting my reading time?"

Moondancer walked out from behind the bookshelves, holding an open book in her hand, balancing it on her palm. She turned to see Lemon Hearts and Minuette, then pushed her glasses up to make sure it was them.

"Moondancer!" Lemon Hearts screamed, running up to Moondancer and forcing her into a hug, causing Moondancer to drop her book. "You're okay!"

"We've been so worried about you," Minuette said, wrapping her arms around Moondancer, joining in the hug. "We haven't heard a word from you in days! What's going on?"

"Nothing, nothing, I just ..." Moondancer wrapped her arms tighter around the other two. She moaned breathily. "So warm."

"What?" Lemon Hearts asked, confused.

"Nothing, it’s nothing," Moondancer parted from them and adjusted her glasses. "So, how have you guys been?"

"We just told you; worried sick!" Minuette placed a hand over her heart. "How come you didn't leave a note on your door? Why didn't you send a letter, or a spell, or say hi in the grocery aisle, or something?"

"I was busy," Moondancer said, taking a nervous posture.

"Doing what?" Minuette said. "What could you possibly be doing that would make you too busy for your friends?"

"Oh, look, you made me drop my book," Mooondancer said, going to pick up the book as if she hadn't heard Minuette. She licked her finger and thumbed through the pages to inspect them for any damage from the fall.

"I believe I can answer that," Twilight said, appearing from behind the corner. "Moondancer was busy taking care of me."

"Twilight, what a surprise!" Lemon Hearts said. "It's nice to see you again."

"Nice to see you, too," Twilight said, hands behind her back. Lemon Hearts didn't notice Twilight lick her lips. "Very nice." She started moving towards Lemon Hearts, but Moondancer stuck a palm into Twilight's stomach and stopped her cold. She shook her head, as if reminding Twilight of something.

Twilight nodded. Lemon Hearts and Minuette could only guess what words had passed between them in their silence.

"So, care to join us?" Twilight offered. "We could sit down and read, go out for a drink, maybe have a snack or two ... all sorts of things."

"Reading sounds lovely," Lemon Hearts said, bracing a hand against her chest. "Ooh, this is all happening so fast. First Moondancer disappears for days, now you show up, and then we learn you were sick! So sick Moondancer had to take care of you? Slowing down with a decent book might be a good way to get my heart rate back down."

"I know just the thing," Twilight said, picking a random book off from the shelf. "How about A History of Magic, Volume XIII, Revised Edition, Now With Updated Footnotes And Back Summary?"

"Er," Lemon Hearts and Minuette glanced at each other. Neither of them wanted to dig into something as big and meaty as a history book, but they also didn't want to hurt Twilight's feelings by rejecting her first suggestion.

"Oh, I get it," Twilight said, "you two think history is boring."

"No, no, that's not it at all!" Lemon Hearts said. "We both know history is ... important and good to learn from the past, but ..." Lemon Hearts paused. "We do find reading about it a little ... unengaging."

"No, no, it's fine," Twilight said, flipping through the book idly before putting it back. "The font on this printing is terrible, anyway. Let's see, what else is there ... oh, I know!" Seeming to know exactly where every book was, she picked out three which looked like a random selection to Lemon Hearts and Minuette, but she and Moondancer knew better. This had been carefully planned.

"How about some books on recipes, hypnosis, and acceptance?" Twilight offered, holding a book each on the respective subject.

"That's ... random, but okay!" Lemon Hearts said. "I'm sure Celestia's state dinners could do with a bit of spicing up."

"And I could use the hypnosis to help with my bad sleep," Minuette said. "Been having just a tiny bit of trouble lately.”

"Oh, don't worry, Minuette," Twilight gave a warm and playful smile. "Moondancer and I know exactly how to get you to sleep just fine." She glanced at Moondancer, who stifled a giggle.

"Shall we find somewhere to sit and read these?" Twilight suggested, and the rest of them went along with. They found a table to sit at and four chairs to go with it so they could gather together and read their books.

"Ooh, this kiwi lime pie looks amazing," Lemon Hearts commented, turning to a random page on the textbook.

"It does, it really does," Twilight agreed. "But you know what looks even better? The stew on page 136," Twilight reached over and flipped the pages for Lemon Hearts and pointed to the picture. Lemon Hearts gave a big 'ooh.'

"That does look nice," Lemon Hearts said.

"Yeah," Twilight said dreamily, "nothing better than a meal where you don't have to do anything but sit back, relax, and let it happen. Just sit there and ... let it stew." She stretched her arms and leaned back in her chair as if to demonstrate.

"I'm curious," Minuette said. "You said Moondancer was taking care of you while you were sick, Twilight?"

"Yeah."

"What were you sick of?" Minuette asked. "It's not contagious, is it?"

"Contagious?" Twilight looked at Moondancer. "Oh, I don't know, it's a little contagious." She and Moondancer covered their mouths as a giggle passed between them.

"What's so funny?" Lemon Hearts asked, alternating looks between Twilight and Moondancer in her confusion.

"Oh, nothing," Twilight insisted. "Yes, it was a little contagious, but I'm all better now, thanks to Moondancer." She leaned over and gave Moondancer a peck on the lips. Lemon Hearts and Minuette blushed, not sure what to think of Twilight doing that.

Applejack leaned against the outside wall of the Carousel Boutique, waiting for Rarity to come out. She didn't have to wait long.

"Applejack!" Rarity expressed with surprise when she did come out of the building not too soon after Applejack had placed herself there. "What are you doing out here at this hour?"

"I'm worried," Applejack said. "Twilight, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie haven't been back from Canterlot in what, almost five days now? We told Fluttershy and Pinkie to bring Twilight back. What if whatever got Twilight got to them, too?"

"Now, now, Applejack, you're worrying too much! That's bad for you, you know. You'll get wrinkles." She pinched Applejack's cheek. "Why, I think I see some already."

"Ha ha." Applejack swatted Rarity's hand away. "This is serious, Rarity. What if in they're in trouble?"

"I am sure they are just fine," Rarity said. "It's no problem if they want to stay in Canterlot for five days, or even a week, or more! Who wouldn't stay in Canterlot, given the chance? The glitz, the glamour! The rich and wealthy elite!"

"Uh, is that last one supposed to be a selling point?" Applejack asked dubiously.

"My point is, Canterlot is a very lovely city, and we shouldn't begrudge our friends for wanting to take full advantage of everything it has to offer during their stay. Why, it's even possible Twilight decided to stay for awhile because she was feeling nostalgic for her old home town."

"I guess so," Applejack said. She heard a familiar wing beat with rhythm she knew.

"Hey guys," Rainbow Dash said, flapping overhead. "What's going on? Why are we all at Carousel Boutique! Ooh! Is Photo Finish coming over for another photo shoot? Or Sapphire Shores? Or Hoity Toity, or-?"

"I was just explaining to Applejack that she shouldn't be worrying so much about our friends in Canterlot just yet," Rarity wisely cut Rainbow Dash off while gesturing to Applejack as she spoke. "It's not unusual for ponies to want to stay there a week or more. However ..." she pressed a finger against her chin. "It is possible we will want to start worrying if they're not back by a month's time or so."

"Huh. Okay, well, I can fly right over to Canterlot right now and check on them if you want. In fact, I think I'll do that right now!" Rainbow reared up to go soaring off to Canterlot.

"Rainbow!" Applejack snapped. "Y'all may be a Wonderbolt, but you can't just go flying off like that! You can't make the trip all the way from here to Canterlot in a day without some provisions!"

"Are you sure?" Dash asked cheekily. "I mean, I can see it from my house." She grinned smarmily.

Applejack narrowed her eyes and glared daggers.

"Thank you, Rainbow Dash, but that won't be necessary,” Fluttershy said as she and Pinkie arrived.

"Fluttershy!" Applejack expressed with delight.

"What am I, chopped peppermint?" Pinkie asked.

"And you too, Pinkie," Applejack tipped her hat. She ran up to Fluttershy and embraced her, barely paying attention to the shiver Fluttershy gave in response. She attributed it to Fluttershy's shyness and issues with being touched and personal space.

"Where have y'all been?" Applejack asked, parting while keeping her hands on Fluttershy's shoulders.

"Uh, to Canterlot?" Pinkie Pie answered. "You know, to go check on Twilight Sparkle? Like you sent us to do?" She idly did one of her usual cartwheels, rolling away from the group before cartwheeling back.

"Well, yeah, I know that, but what took ya so long? And where's Twilight? Why isn't she with you?"

Fluttershy pressed a finger to Applejack's lip to silence. She gave Applejack a lustful glare and giggled before answering.

"Twilight is just fine," Fluttershy said. "She's just getting to know Moondancer."

"I thought she did know Moondancer," Applejack said, scratching her head in confusion.

"She's been getting to know Moondancer ... intimately," Fluttershy said. "As for us, well ..."

"Okay, well, first, when we got there, we were hungry," Pinkie Pie said, and Fluttershy perked up at the word hungry, "so we went to get some oat fries, but then we bumped into Moondancer, and we asked how Twilight was doing, and she told us she was taking care of Twilight and wanted us to butt out - she didn't quite put it like that, but that was the message - and then after awhile we followed her, but she wasn't at her house, or so we thought, but then Twilight and Moondancer popped out from behind us and-"

Fluttershy stuffed a hand into Pinkie's mouth to shut her up.

"It’s just that a lot happened," Fluttershy said. "Pinkie and I wanted to get back to our normal, Ponyville cuisine, but Twilight wanted to stay with Moondancer and try a few new restaurants that opened up."

"See?" Rarity said, resting a hand on Applejack's shoulder. "I told you they were fine. Well, darlings, now that you're back, what would you like to do? Maybe go to the spa with moi? Or do you just want to head back home?"

"Actually," Fluttershy said, rocking on her feet coquettishly, "I am feeling a bit peckish. I could go for a bite."

"We can do that," Applejack said. "And what about you, Pinkie?"

"I'm good," Pinkie Pie said, bouncing up and down, full of energy as always. "All I want is to hang out with Rainbow Dash and Rarity.."

"Naturally," Rainbow Dash said proudly, gesturing to herself. "Who wouldn't want to hang out with me?"

"Ooh!" Applejack stomped her foot and shook with rage. "Between you and Rarity, Rainbow, I can't decide which one of you has the bigger ego! Come on, Fluttershy, let's go find someplace to eat and get out of here."

"Hmph. Well, I never!" Rarity huffed and went back inside the Boutique.

"Come on, Pinkie Pie," Rainbow Dash grabbed a cloud and flew down, picking Pinkie Pie in the cloud. "Let's find someplace cool to hang out."

“Actually, Rainbow Dash, can I get a rain check on that?” Pinkie Pie asked. “I’ve had a really exciting trip, and I’d rather sit down inside the boutique first. I’ll tell you about it later.”

“Okay,” Dash flicked her tail. “That’s cool.” She flew off, desperately trying to keep her insecurity issues from flaring up at being Pinkie’s second choice.

The rest went their separate ways, Pinkie going with Rarity and Applejack going with Fluttershy.

Applejack's temper remained in a flared up state, something which Fluttershy easily noticed.

"Hey," Fluttershy said, placing a hand on Applejack's shoulder. "I know you're upset right now, but you shouldn't be mad at Rarity and Rainbow Dash. They haven't done anything wrong."

Applejack sighed, her anger deflating some. "I know that, but sometimes they can just be so annoying with those big egos of theirs. With Rainbow's "I'm so awesome" this and Rarity's "I told you so" that ..." Applejack sighed in disgust.

"I know," Fluttershy cooed softly, massaging Applejack's shoulder. "Believe me, I know. I've known Rainbow Dash for longer than you have. But I wouldn't still be her friend if she didn't have some redeeming qualities."

Applejack chortled. "Yeah, that's true. Say, uh, Fluttershy? Could you let go of my shoulder?"

Fluttershy uneasily popped her hand off. "Sorry."

“These sure are a lot of good recipes,” Lemon Hearts commented, flipping to another page in the cookbook.

“Yes,” Twilight said, making lovey-dovey eyes at Moondancer before getting a hold of herself. “They are lovely, aren’t they?” She reached over and cupped Lemon’s chin, stroking it. “So many different varieties of food to eat, to drink. To sit and slurp and suck and chew on and relax with …”

Minuette became very uncomfortable with Twilight’s stroking. She gave a nervous chuckle. “So, um, Twilight! I hear you live in a gorgeous castle now. Tell me what that’s like?”

“Oh, it’s nothing much,” Twilight said. “It’s pretty, but not all that deep. Very cold. Not like me or Moondancer.”

“Yeah,” Moondancer wrapped an arm over Twilight. “We’re full of warmth and love.”

Minuette chuckled awkwardly again. “Say now, girls, we’ve been in this stuffy library for awhile. Why don’t we go outside for fresh air and get something to eat?”

“Eat?” Twilight and Moondancer perked up at the idea.

“I would love something to eat,” Moondancer said.

“Yes, that sounds fantastic,” Twilight agreed. “But why should we have to go to a restaurant to find something, when we have a delicious meal right here?”

“Uh, do you have, um, some bagels on you or something? Because I don’t see any food here,” Minuette said.

“I think you know what we’re talking about,” Moondancer said, giving a wink.

“I think I do!” Minuutte said with fright. She grabbed Lemon Hearts by the shoulders and lifted her up out of the chair. “Come on, Lemon Hearts, let’s go back home.”

“Home?” Lemon Hearts asked. “But weren’t Twilight and Moondancer going to take us out for a meal?”

“Yes, Lemon Hearts,” Minuette said, “Twilight and Moondancer were about to take us for a meal.”

“I don’t get it,” Lemon Hearts said.

“Aah, all these talk about meals!” Moondancer shouted, slamming her hands on the table. “I can’t take it anymore! I’m sorry, Twilight, but I need to feed!” She rose up, dismissing Twilight’s illusion and revealing her tail as she rose up.

“Oh,” Lemon Hearts said. She looked at Minuette. “I see.”

The two of them let out a scream and ran down the library aisles, calling out for help.

“Ssh,” Twilight said, dispelling her illusion and climbing onto the table, slithering up and over it. “Don’t you two know better than to be loud in a library!?” She shot a beam of purple light from her horn, which rose up over the bookshelves and spread, forming a dome around the library shelves.

“A cone of silence!” Lemon Hearts shouted with dismay.

“Yes, Lemon Hearts, I know what it is and what it does,” Minuette replied, annoyed.

“Come back here!” Moondancer shouted. “We just want to eat you up! I promise, it feels much better than it sounds!”

“For some reason I don’t believe you,” Lemon Hearts said as she and Minuette rounded the corner and dove down another library aisle.

“Minuette,” Twilight called, “Minuette! Come out, baby. Don’t you want to feel nice and relax and stew in our stomach fluids like we talked about? How nice it would be to sit back and just let yourself stew?”

“Stew,” Minuette said, blinking her eyes. She began to move out from the aisle, but Minuette caught her by the shoulders and held her back.

“A hypnotic trigger,” Lemon Hearts said. “I should have known. Horse apples. What am I supposed to do now?” She dragged Minuette back, bumping into the library desk as she moved. Thankfully, she didn’t make too much noise.

“Minuette, sweetie!” Twilight called. “If you really want to be eaten by me so you can stew, I need you to let me know where you are!”

Minuette was about to call out, but Lemon Hearts put a hand over Minuette’s mouth to silence her. “Get it together, Minuette! Do you not understand they want to eat us?”

Minuette grumbled something. She grabbed a book off the shelf and dropped it to the floor, making a thud.

“Ponyfeathers,” Lemon Hearts thought.

“Ah-ha!” Twilight and Moondancer exclaimed, peering in down the aisle.

“I knew you still had to be somewhere in here,” Twilight growled as she and Moondancer
slithered inside.

“Oh, um, ah ...” Lemon Hearts thought in alarm. She looked at the shelves and got an idea. She picked up a book and held it open. “Don’t come any closer, or I’ll tear this book apart!”

Twilight and Moondancer paused.

“You wouldn’t dare,” Moondancer said.

“I would dare!” Lemon Hearts said. She opened the book and began flexing it so hard the spine began to stretch. Moondancer grimaced, covering her eyes in pain at the sight of a tome of knowledge being abused in such a fashion.

“Moondancer, if there’s one thing I’ve learned since I went to Ponyville, it’s this; books are not always as irreplaceable as you think they are,” Twilight said. She aimed her horn and fired, blasting the book and making it disappear.

“What … but ...” Moondancer stammered, looking at Twilight with shock and hurt at this betrayal. Twilight’s horn flared, and the book reappeared in her hand, good as new.

“Gah, um ...” Lemon Hearts got another idea. She grabbed two books from the shelf and threw them, bonking Twilight and Moondancer on the heads. Twilight rubbed the spot where the book hit and growled.

Lemon Hearts grabbed Minuette and ran down the aisle. She occasionally stopped to knock a few books off the shelf to leave a roadblock, or to pick one up and take blind aim, tossing it without looking in the hopes of striking either one of the lamias on the head.

“Minuette, I know you must be feeling pretty foggy in the head right now, but I really need you to wake up and focus,” Lemon Hearts said, slapping Minuette across the cheek.

“Ow! Oh, um ...” Minuette stammered. “What’s going on?”

“Twilight and Moondancer have turned into snake pony things and are trying to eat us.”

“Eat us?” Minuette asked in surprise, before getting a dreamy expression on her face. “Eat us ...” she said this like it was the most lovely thing in the world.

“Focus!” Lemon Hearts said, slapping Lemon Hearts again. “We need to figure out how to make them not eat us, or, at the very least, how get away from them before they do!”

“Okay,” Minuette said. “How do we do that?”

“Well, they’re moving pretty fast, we’re in a library, and Twilight put up a cone of silence,” Lemon Hearts recapped. “So I’m all for ideas.”

“What about the fire exit?” Minuette suggested.

“That’s … that’s brilliant, Minuette.. Why didn’t I think of that?”

Minuette blushed. “It’s just what I do.”

"Oh, Minuette!" Twilight called, appearing before the two and blocking off their escape. She flicked her tongue out at them and hissed.

"Come here, Minuette," Twilight called, crooking her finger. Her eyes turned into pink and purple spirals which quickly ensnared Lemon Hearts in their dazzling gleam.

"Uh?" Minuette groaned, her eyes matching Twilight's.

"You're so cute, Minuette. I could just eat you up," Twilight said.

"Eat me up," Minuette repeated, moving towards Twilight.

Lemon Hearts slapped a hand around Minuette’s eyes and pulled her back, trying to keep distance between them and Twilight.

"I have had just about enough of your interference," Twilight said. She shot out her tail, hitting Lemon Hearts in the gut and knocking Lemon Hearts onto her back. Lemon Hearts grunted when she hit the floor.

Minuette groaned and wobbled, caught in an awkward state of half-hypnotized and half-not.

"Where was I? Oh yes, Minuette. Come here, Minuette. Come here so you can relax and stew."

"Stew!" Minuette beamed and merrily went over to Twilight. Twilight curled her tail around Minuette's ankles and lifted her up, hanging her upside while wrapping her tail further down Minuette's body.

Twilight locked eyes with Lemon, cupping her cheeks. "Are you excited to be eaten by me, Minuette?"

Minuette giggled, her eyes filled with rings of purple. "Yes, Twilight. I'm excited."

"Can you ... show me?" Twilight asked, pulling down Minuette's pants. "Show me your excitement, Minuette." She gently pressed a finger against Minuette's labia, giving Lemon Hearts a soft stroke.

"No!" Lemon Hearts shouted. She got to her feet and grabbed a book from off the shelf. She arched back, preparing her arm, but something grabbed hold of the book and pulled it back, prying it out of her grip.

Lemon Hearts turned around to see Moondancer raising up from the other side, using her magic to hold up the book.

"End of the line, Lemon Hearts," Moondancer said. "That'll be enough interruptions from you."

Lemon Hearts gasped. She looked down the aisle and saw there was a space between Twilight's coils and the shelves wide enough for her to fit through. By now, she knew she couldn't save Minuette. But she could still save herself.

"That's what you think!" Lemon Hearts declared, grabbing two books and hurling them at Moondancer. She caught Moondancer off guard, and though Moondancer was able to react in time to stop the books with magic, it was enough to let Lemon Hearts dash out from the aisle and slip past Twilight.

Twilight glanced over as Lemon Hearts passed her by, wondering what to do.

"I've got her," Moondancer said, slithering after Lemon Hearts with a speed uncanny for a large snake.

With Lemon Hearts taken care of, Twilight turned her attention back to Minuette. "Now, Minuette, can I trust you?"

"Of course, mistress," Minuette said. "You can trust me."

"I can trust that you want to be eaten by me?" Twilight asked seductively, cupping Minutee’s chin.

"Yes, I want to be eaten by you."

"You want to go into my mouth and down my throat?"

"Yes! Into the mouth, down the throat, into your belly!"

"And ..." Twilight looked on with approval as Minuette's vagina put out some pre-cum which got all over her finger. "Once you're in my throat, you'll cum?"

"Yes, yes, I'll cum, just let me inside you!" Minuette said.

"Even if it means cumming yourself silly?" Twilight teased.

"Especially that!" Minuette said, struggling and writhing. "Just - just eat me, please, already! I can't stand it. I want inside you, Twilight." She began to tear up.

"Now, now, don't cry," Twilight wiped away one of her tears. "I won't keep you waiting for much longer. I won't keep you waiting at all, in fact."

Twilight opened and unhinged her jaw. Minuette moaned and smiled softly, her vag spewing out more precum in anticipation.

Twilight lifted Minuette up over her mouth like a crane, then uncoiled her tail, letting Minuette drop inside. Twilight moaned with pleasure as Minuette’'s upper body hit the inside of her mouth. She ran her tongue over Minuette's face, her cheeks, her neck, down to Minuette’'s breasts as Minuette's body made its way inside, slowly, like a vermin pushing against a plastic wall.

Twilight moaned, half-closing her eyes. It felt so good to have a pony inside her mouth again after taking so long to get to this point. Her own vagina twitched, and she couldn't stop herself from sticking her tail into her labia and stroking herself.

Minuette squealed and moaned, loving the squishy sensations as she slid down Twilight's esophagus. She opened her mouth wide as she creamed herself, cum squirting and dripping down her vagina.

She hit the floor of Twilight's stomach with a grunt, but she shrugged off the pain. All that mattered was that she was inside Twilight now. That she came inside Twilight, and could do it again and again until she had filled Twilight up with her cum.

Images of Twilight flashed through her mind. Minuette’s clit ached, begging for attention and her left hand obliged, while her right hand gently massaged her breasts.

Fill Twilight. Cum for Twilight.

She slipped one of her fingers into her wet pussy, then another one and another one. Digestive and transformative liquids covered her body as she squirmed in ecstasy. She kept pumping in and out of herself, even as small, smooth scales appeared on her legs.

More. More cum for Twilight.

The scales continued to spread with every wave of pleasure rocketing through her body as she filled Twilight’s stomach with more and more of her girl juice.

More. Not enough. Must cum more!

A massive pressure built up in her groan as she kept going and going. So close. She could feel it. Something big was coming.

“Ah!” Minuette screamed in utter pleasure. Her whole body shuddered and she threw her head back as a mind-shattering orgasm accompanied her legs merging into one long scaly tail completing her transformation.

Twilight moaned, rubbing her stomach and relaxing. She was about to sit back and let the process for Minuette go on until she heard the alarm bell ring. Lemon Hearts had gotten to the fire exit.

Grumbling, Twilight turned and slithered away somewhere private. She recast her illusion spell to give herself the appearance of her normal legs, then dismissed her cone of silence before anyone could see it. Casually, she walked towards the exit, blending into the crowd of ponies who rushed to the exit at the sound of bell, keeping her eye out for both Lemon Hearts and Moondancer.

"Boy," Applejack said, "arguing with Rarity sure does work up an appetite." She and Fluttershy were sitting at a table with their menus out.

"Does it?" Fluttershy asked, her menu still on the table. "I wouldn't know."

"Of course you wouldn't," Applejack said. "You ain't got much of a stomach for arguing, do you, Fluttershy?"

"Stomach?" Fluttershy said. Applejack didn't notice the twitch in her eye, nor the pursing of her lips.

"Gee," Applejack said, unimpressed with the restaurant's menu. "You think a place like this would have a better list of things to eat."

"Eat," Fluttershy repeated.

"I mean, look at this dreck." Applejack smacked the menu. "Most of this stuff wouldn't even feed Granny Smith, and she's got the appetite of well, a granny. Uh, Fluttershy?" Applejack noticed Fluttershy covering her ears, looking like she was about to blow her top like a volcano. "You okay?"

"No!" Fluttershy answered, swatting the silverware off the table, to Applejack's shock. She stood up and slammed her fists on the table. "I was going to wait before I did this, Applejack, get you comfortable, set the mood, maybe take you back to my place, but I can't take it anymore! You just had to go on and on about food and eating and stomaches! We're doing this now!"

"Well," Applejack said, "we are at a restaurant." She chuckled awkwardly.

Fluttershy glared at Applejack. She grunted, lifting up the table and tossing it onto its side, drawing the attention of other restaurant-goers.

Applejack saw Fluttershy's bottom half replaced by a large, yellow tail, and she knew she was in trouble. More had gone on in Canterlot than she and Rarity had been led to believe.

"Uh-oh." Applejack murmured to herself. She bolted out of her chair and made a beeline for the door, Fluttershy hot on her tale, Fluttershy’s tail shifting from side to side as she gave chase.

Author's Note

There were some changes in the draft of this chapter over who got away and who didn't, so just in case I didn't catch every instance and correct it; Minutte is the one who gets hypnotized and eaten. Lemon Hearts escapes.

The commissioner themself contributed a little bit of writing to this chapter. Just thought I'd acknowledge that.
