It was a party not even Pinkie had been prepared for, but there was no doubt it was the occasion for a party.
Twilight sat in disbelief. She could tell that it was going to take a long time to convince herself that anything that had happened that day was real, even with physical reminders of it. Even though the whole party consisted mostly of her friends taking turns fawning over her wings. It felt weird to say: her wings. Sure she'd wondered what it felt like to have wings, who hadn't that wasn't a pegasus? But she never expected to find out, or so aggressively. Her friends were enthusiastic about them, pulling them, running their fingers through her feathers, in Pinkie's case shoving their faces in them. It was an avalanche of foreign sensations.
The wings were the easy part too. She was a princess now! Celestia herself had said it; it made her dizzy to think about. She stood up to get some punch. Twilight felt awkward, but she wasn't sure why. Gaining two new limbs was such a drastic change that it made her uncertain of every other sensation. But as she moved she felt something that didn't seem like it had anything to do with her wings.
She stopped suddenly enough to get looks from the others.
"You okay, sugarcube?" Applejack said. Her question overlapped with everypony else asking similar questions.
"I... don't know? Everything is still so strange." She thought for a moment, trying to narrow just what her issue was down. "It feels like there's something in my skirt."
She lifted the garment a few inches to what it was that seemed to be under it. There was indeed something in there. It took her a couple of seconds to figure out what it was. And as soon as it clicked, she slammed her skirt back against her legs, blushing brightly; she sank to the floor, covering her face with her hands.
It made her head spin even more than the wings. That was a penis. She had a penis now. Not only that, but she had just shown it to all her friends. She forced herself to look between her fingers, the most she could do. Their exact expressions varied, but awkwardness was the rule. It was clear they all wished they hadn't seen it as much as she wished she hadn't shown it.
Then Rainbow suddenly broke out in a scowl. "Fuck! That's how it is now? Celestia fuck—" she stormed out of the library.
Another layer of awkwardness settled over the group. Rainbow's outburst, sadly, didn't distract for one second from Twilight's situation. If anything, it just made it worse. Nopony said anything for a long time, or even looked at each other.
Applejack took it upon herself to break the silence. "I can't believe her. That was a plain nasty thing to do to ya. I didn't think she was like that." Applejack shook her head.
"I agree," Rarity said. "That was quite inappropriate. In fact, I'm not sure I even want to be friends with a mare who thinks like that." Rarity stamped her hoof definitively, but her face was far more uncertain.
"Girls, girls," Fluttershy said, getting more attention out of the mere fact of raising her voice than her actual words. "It's not what you think. Rainbow has her reasons for being upset, but she doesn't have a problem with Twilight's, um, new body."
"Then what was she all worked up about?" Applejack challenged.
Fluttershy backed away. "I... I can't talk about it. It's her business. But it's not what you think, I promise." She walked up to Twilight and helped her back up to her hooves. "You need to go talk to Rainbow."
Twilight still didn't know whether she should be more shocked about herself or Rainbow. But keeping her friends was more important than whatever was happening in her pants. "I guess. Where would she be, though?"
Fluttershy put a hand on her shoulder. "I can take you to her." She smiled softly.
Twilight had wings now, but she very much could not fly yet. At least she could walk on clouds—she didn't quite believe that she could yet, even as she did it, but she could—which was a relief to Fluttershy who had to carry her through the air. They had quickly agreed that it was best if she didn't try flying herself yet. With great effort her friend lifted her from cloud to cloud. Twilight would have felt bad about making her work so much, but she was absolutely determined to get her to Rainbow Dash.
At last they found the mare. Fluttershy was exhausted by that point and dropped Twilight heavily on the cloud. She turned to thank her, but she had already flown away. It was meant to be a private conversation, it seemed. Rainbow didn't seem to notice her arrival, or didn't act like she had.
Twilight did the only thing she could, which was to approach Rainbow. "Are you alright?" she said.
"Oh. Hey Twi." Rainbow said, finally noticing her.
"So, uh, what was all that earlier?" Twilight said.
"Don't worry about it. It was nothing."
"It didn't seem like nothing. Is... is there something wrong with who I am now?" Twilight did the best she could to keep any shaking out of her voice.
That got Rainbow to react. She turned around. "What? No. Of course not! It's not you... it's just. I can't believe Celestia would do that to you."
Twilight sat. She had the feeling they were going to be there a while. "Do what?"
"You know what," Rainbow said. "She changed your body. She made you a freak."
That... what malice there was in Rainbow's voice wasn't directed at her, but it still hurt. "What do you mean a freak? I'm perfectly normal, I mean, yeah, I'm a Princess now, apparently. But I'm still a pony just like you."
"Just like you," Rainbow said in a mocking tone. "Do you even know what that means? Here's a hint: no, you don't. You might be smart, but you still have no fucking idea what you're talking about."
Dash didn't make any sense. "What are you talking about? Rainbow, I don't understand." Twilight was pleading with her. She was desperate to keep her friend, but she just didn't know what she was thinking.
"You're fucking dense, Twi, y'know that? Fine. I'll show you, then." Rainbow turned to Twilight and looked her in the eye. She waited for a moment, to let Twilght get a good look back. Then she pulled down her shorts. A penis sprang out, and not a small one. "I'm a dickmare, just like you are now. There, you happy? You have everything you need to bully me now?"
"What? Rainbow, I had no idea. And I'd never bully you," Twilight said.
"Yeah right. Like you said, you're just like everypony else. That means you know I'm a freak too."
"You're not a freak. You're my friend. Nothing can change that." She meant it. She also couldn't help but stare.
Rainbow slumped. "Yeah. I know, I know. It's just, being like this kind of sucks. At least you didn't have to grow up with it."
Twilight lay on her back next to Rainbow. She had spent most of the evening trying to acclimate to the feeling of suddenly having wings, but now the feeling of It moving around between her legs was what stood out. Evidently it never quite stopped standing out. For Rainbow to be in the mood she was was very unusual. It took a lot to bother her.
"Oh, and another thing," Rainbow said. "Good fucking luck getting a date now. Nopony wants ponies like us."
Twilight was silent. Everything was so new to her, she hadn't had time to think about half of what had happened. She hoped Rainbow was wrong, but it did make a sad sort of sense.
Rainbow continued. "Turns out lesbians don't want somepony with a dick. Who knew?" She said everything with a bitter sneer. "I guess stallions won't either, if you're into that. Gay or straight it's the same problem."
"I'm bi," Twilight said. It was an impulse, an automatic response to Rainbow's statement. She regretted it instantly, saying it implied things she hadn't meant. "I mean I wasn't saying anything about you, or—I, I..." She didn't know what she was trying to say. Tell her friend she was into that, or something. Or, not quite that she was into it, just that she didn't mind. It was hard enough to figure out in her own head, there was no chance she'd be able to explain any of it.
"You're allowed to say 'fuck,' y'know," Rainbow said.
Twilight waited a moment. Then, "FUCK!" loudly. It brought on a new wave of embarrassment, but that was much better than what she had been feeling the moment before.
"So... You like mares and dicks, then?" Rainbow didn't sound as mad anymore. Or as cocky as she usually did.
Twilight had hoped they'd be able to smooth over her comment. Apparently not. "I... guess?"
Rainbow swerved. "Huh. Neat. Well, if you ever want help figuring that thing you've got out, you can ask me."
"Sure. I mean, I'm gonna be asking you for help flying, why not that too?" It felt awkward to say, even though she avoided mentioning It.
"Cool," Rainbow said. "Soon you'll be the second coolest dickmare with wings."
They lapsed back into silence after that. Rainbow didn't seem to want to embarrass Twilight too much; that was how she interpreted it at any rate. Celestia knew she had the right to. She had put herself out there.
Rainbow was a strange mare. Twilight had heard perfectly well how badly she had been hurt, how much resentment she felt over her body. But she seemed relaxed now, even though her "anatomy" was still on display. Her shorts were still pulled halfway down. Twilight eyed her as discreetly as she could. Twilight liked stallions, she knew that, but she had never gotten a good look at a real penis. Even she wasn't nerdy enough to masturbate to medical diagrams. So why shouldn't she be curious?
"Well, I guess we should start by seeing what you got," Rainbow said. Without waiting for a response, she leaned over and lifted Twilight's skirt. She wrapped her hand around Twilight's member. She gasped at the new sensation, as thousands of new nerves lit up. And though the feeling was unfamiliar, there was no doubt that her new anatomy was a sex organ. It started to stiffen and swell, and this brought yet more unknown sensations, as well as some familiar ones: she felt herself getting wet underneath it.
Twilight bit her lip as her first erection rose in front of her. She lit her horn to get a better view of it. It was unlike any other part of her body, it was tall and veiny, and the skin was thin. But the most exciting part of it was the sight and feel of Rainbow's hand on her.
Her friend scooted over next to her. Her other hand was stroking her own shaft. "I just wanna see how they match up," Rainbow said. The comparison revealed that Rainbow was a little shorter, and noticeably more slender. "Dammit, you even got a bigger one."
Twilight looked at her, confused. "I thought you said you didn't like having a penis? Now you're disappointed yours is smaller?"
"I don't. But since I'm stuck with a dick, I at least want to have the best one.
"Alright, so basically whenever you're bored, you just do this." She started stroking Twilight, gently pumping her had up and down. "How's that feel?"
"Uh. Good, I think?" Twilight was too busy trying to get acquainted with the sensations to do much categorizing. It sure didn't feel bad though.
"Let's try this." Maintaining her loose grip, Rainbow shifted her hand higher up, letting her thumb come to a high point just at the edge of the head.
Twilight was now much more sure that it felt good. She also found herself growing impatient. She—or her penis—wanted more.
Rainbow seemed to sense it before she could say it. She rolled onto her side and gripped Twilight near the base with her other hand. To make it even better she increased her pace. That finally was what she needed. She let her head roll back as Rainbow worked her. She literally didn't know what to do with herself. It was a new organ, with new skin and new muscles.
It wasn't so unfamiliar that she couldn't recognize what a building orgasm felt like, even if it wasn't in her vagina. She was astonished at how quickly her body was responding. It couldn't have been five minutes since they started and she already felt the pressure growing.
She started to buck her hips, thrusting into Rainbow's hands, who sped up the stroking even more. She was breathing hard now, the feeling of Rainbow's hands on her shaft and her body at her side. Faster than she thought was possible it hit her. She clenched involuntarily as her cock pumped out her first load. She watched the first hot spurts of cum fly out of her and over the edge of the cloud. More dribbled out and ran down her length.
A calm came over her for the first time on that incredibly long day. "Thanks, Rainbow. That was great," she said after a while.
"Yeah, I get a lot of practice with this thing," Rainbow said, laying a hand on her own dick.
"Really, thank you. I would have no idea what to do with this without your help."
Rainbow didn't react to the compliment like she expected. The other mare bit her lip, thinking more deeply than Twilight was used to seeing.
"Hey Twi, so, uh, this whole thing was actually pretty gay. It's not that different from a pussy, y'know? Regular friends don't really do this."
Twilight hadn't considered that. They had both been lost in the moment, she supposed. Rainbow was certainly right. As close as her friends were, she couldn't see herself going and fingering them, or expecting it in return. "Oh. I'm sorry about all this. I hope it doesn't make things uncomfortable for you."
Rainbow shook her head. "No, no. It's not that. I was just thinking, since we're this far in already, would you maybe wanna go out sometime? Like on a date?"
Twilight hadn't been ready for that. Under normal circumstances she would have panicked, but compared to everything else, being asked out by one of her best friends was nothing. She did mull the question over for a few seconds. Rainbow was an unlikely marefriend, but it wasn't like they didn't have anything in common. Especially after that night. And she remembered there earlier conversation. Was Rainbow asking her just because she was one of the few ponies who had a chance of understanding her situation? It made her heart hurt to think about. And yet she knew Rainbow well enough to know she wouldn't want it just out of pity.
Could she see them together, even for a little while? They got along well enough, Twilight had know her for a while. Rainbow liked to read, even if it had taken coaxing. And—Twilight looked at her—she was hot. "Sure," she said, "that would be fine with me."
"Cool," Rainbow said. "One more thing, I didn't really mean to get you all the way off, so if you want some practice..."
"Well it's not going to get any more awkward," Twilight said. She leaned over and grasped Rainbow's cock.
