Celly vs. Earth

Wednesday morning.

You are having breakfast.

Luckily you have a late shift today, so you can have a long nice breakfast with Celly. She is about to have a "call " with her sister, to keep her updated on the progress of the spell and on a briefing on how things are at home, politics mostly.

At this very moment a completely different call arrives. Cellys phone is ringing.

"Hello Prince? Ah, Hello Miss Jacobs...Really... I... THANK YOU!... Yes, I´m coming in tomorrow... Can you please send me this as a mail?...Okay...Great!... Thank you so much! ...See you tomorrow... Goodbye!"

She beams at you tears of happyness in her eyes.

"I´ve got the job, Anon."

She flys around the whole apartment, walking on air and whinnies happy.

"I did it! I did it! I did it! I did it!"

She hoovers up to you and gives you a hug.

"And I couldn´t have done it without you, Anon. Tomorrow I´ll sign the contract, I´ll be starting on the first of next month. We did it. Thank you."

She stops and quickly trots into the living room

"Oh, I must not forget"

She takes her usual position in the corner of the room, near the window to communicate with her sister (she said the reception is best there).

It looks weird.

She is closing he eyes, her horn engulfed in a golden glow, and it looks like she is silently talking to herself.

"...That´s good news, Luna. Keep it up, I trust in you... Ah? Good, I´ll call him. Anon could you come please come over? My sister wants to talk to you."

You are suprised and a bit confused

"Uh..okay, but how?

-"Just touch me, that should do it."

You touch her neck and feel something like a light static shock. Suddely you hear a voice in your brain. The voice is regal similar to Cellys voice.

"...if this is working, sister. Oh? Greetings, Anon Ymus. I am princess Luna of Equestria. I learned that thou looked after my dear sister in the recent year?"

You are suprised as you hear her as she is standing next to you, also you are a bit amused since she seems a bit uptight with her stilted speech.

"Um, Greetings, your highness, Luna. Yes, I helped her a little to adapt to my world. Its the least I could do."

-"I see, my sister has been talking in the highest terms of thee. I would like to take this opportunity to extend the eternal gratitude of the whole realm of Equestria and my personal gratitude opon thee, Anon Ymus."

Celly rolls her eyes.

"Thats a bit too thick, sister.."

Luna sounds embarrased

"Oh...I...excuse me. However, thank you Anon. Thank you for providing my sister with shelter and help. These are dire times for us, but your actions are a beacon of hope. Again thank you."

You are a bit embarrased.

"Gee, thats all right. I did what I had to do."

Luna continiues.

"I also wanted to tell you personally that my sister won´t stress your hospitality for much longer."

You are shocked.

"WHAT?"

Luna doesn´t notice your jarring.

"Yes! We have finally found a way to stabilize the portal to your world. Unfortunatly it works only one way, towards your world so far but in a few months give or take...what?"

You hear some commotion. Luna is talking to somebody...somepony.

"No, we have been through this times and again sergeant. You will not... WAIT! NO! SERGEANT THIS IS A DIRECT ORDER FROM YOUR PRINCESS! STOP! Bucking manure..."

The connection is interrupted. You look at Celly.

"Wh...what just happend?"

She looks worried.

"I...I don´t know, Anon!"

In this moment a burst of light flashes in your living room. A tiny lilac unicorn with a short cut strawberry mane and tail is lying on the floor. She wears what looks like a roman centurions armour.

Celly looks visibly irritated and steps up to the pony.

"What is is meaning of this?!?!"

The pony notices her, is shocked and jumps up, standing in attention, saluting with her right front hoof.

"Uh..Erm, your majesty! Maam, Equestrian defence forces, Royal Guards to the Princesses, Staff Sergeant Hard Biscuit, reporting for operation rescue and protect the princess, Maam!"

Celly looks at the unicorn like it has grown a second head.

"Excuse me? I...never.... What?"

The pony is still saluting.

"Maam, I came though the portal to protect you in this hostile enviroment and ensure your safe return to Equestria, Maam!"

She finally spots you.

"BY THE SUN AND THE MOON! Look out your highness! This beast is about to attack!"

She is about to pounce you as she is stopped midair by a golden glow. Celly hovers her in front of her face.

"Stop sergeant! This is Anon, my close personal friend and a hero to Equestria. You will not lay hoof on him or face the consequences, UNDERSTOOD?"

-"Ulp...Maam, yes, maam."

Celly puts her down and looks at her slightly irritated.

"You will not move an inch, while I talk to my sister."

While Celestia is moving to the corner to contact Luna, you look at that tiny unicorn.

She is so small!

Celly is allready small compared to an earth horse, but that little thing, she is barely the size of a large dog. And she looks so chubby and puffy. Are they all like that? Is that why Celly calls them her LITTLE ponies?

You look at Celly, she is talking to Luna.

"Yes... yes she is here and she is unharmed... Oh.... I see..."

The guard unicorn notices you staring at her and glares angry at you.

This is so cute!

"Sooo, Hard Biscuit, is it? Are you are child...foal or..."

She gets angry and huffs

"What? Are you talking to me you vile ape monster? I´m a full grown mare!"

You grin, lets tease her a little.

"Huh. I could have sworn. Compared to Celly you look so tiny. Are you a midget? You are so small! You are a tiny little thing!"

She snorts out

"How dare you! You will adress the princess properly!"

You squat down in front of her.

"Of course, pardon me, I mean Princess Celestia. Aw, don´t look at me like that you cute little thing."

You pinch her cheek.

"Do not touch the royal guard."

You take both hands and sweeze that adorable, pissed off looking face and mockingly talk to her in baby speak.

"Well, wutchu gunna do about it, you widdle chubchub?"

-"Dwu nod doudch de woyal gawd!"

You have to laugh.

"Hell, you are just too prec..."

You have no idea what happens, suddenly you lie on your back and the livid guard pony is standing on your chest, staring straight into your eyes, the tip of its angry red glowing horn just millimeters from your right eyeball. You see now up close that while she appears small and chubby, she is incredibly muscular under her fluffy fur.

You break in cold sweat as you realize that you just antagonized the equestrian version of a secret service agent/Marine, which is a very bad idea.

She growls at you.

"Do. Not. Touch. The. Royal. GUARD!"

You´re in luck, Celly just had finished her call with Luna and magically rips Biscuit of your chest and places her on the ground.

Hard.

She appears calm, but you hear from her voice that she is quite displeased.

Celly walks up to Biscuit, her voice is slightly trembling with supressed fury.

"Sergeant, I really have to wonder if you have a problem understanding the orders my sister and I give you. I clearly orderd you to not touch Anon. Just as my sister orderd you earlier not to go through the portal! Would you please be so kind and explain yourself?"

Biscuit looks like is about to shrink even smaller and hide behind the bookshelve as she looks up to Celestia.

"You Majesty, h..h...he started it! He insulted the crown and the royal guards!"

Celly stomps her right front hoof.

"That is for me to decide, Sergeant. And I was actually talking about why you disobeyed my sisters direct order NOT to go though the portal."

-" Your Majesty I just wanted to help! I brought my plan for a rescuing mission forward several times and every time it was declined by her highness Princess Luna and the commander of the guard as well as by her highness Princess Twilight Sparkle. B...but I HAD to do something! I had to take action, you are trapped for too long in this vile, filthy, horrifying place!"

You quip

"Thank you very much, that is my home you are talking about!"

Celly gives you a side-eye that tells you "Not fucking now, Anon" and you shut up.

Celestia lowers her head to look Hard Biscuit straight in the eyes.

"All right Sergant, your plan was to come here and do what? First of all, I am fully capable of protecting myself, I´ve been doing so for the last year. Second how did you intend to rescue me? My sister did tell you that the portal did only work one way at the moment and that only towards earth. All you did with your recless action was destroying the portal, which will take months to reconstruct, IF it is possible to reconstruct, you wasted 1.21 Gigathaun of magical energy, that my sister, Twilight and the others needed months to store and you jeopardized my, as well as now also your, safe return to Equestria!"

Hard Biscuit looks like she is about to cry.

"Y...your M...majesty... I..I... just wanted to do the right thing. I just wanted to help..."

Celly is calming down, but she is still pissed.

"Your loyalty and good intentions are duely noted, Sergeant. They will be assessed for your benefit when I´ll have you court-martialed for your reclessness and insubordination when we return, IF we return that is. Dismissed."

She turns away from Hard biscuit who is looking absolutely miserable and walks out of the room. You follow her to the kitchen. She sits down on the floor and looks quite miserable herself.

"You just were quite brutal with her there."

Celly sighs

"I hate doing that and being like that to one of my little ponies. But the thing is... I know her. She is a royal guard for five years now and this was not the first time her recless and thoughtless behavior caused trouble. One time she arrested the mayor of Fillydelphia, who was about to have a meeting with me, because she thought he was a changeling spy. I know she means well, but..."

-"She is an idiot."

-"Anon! I would never say something like that about one of my little ponies! She is just... not a very smart pony..."

You both look at Biscuit through the door. She has recoverd from being chewed out by Celestia and looks around the room. She discovers the TV remote on the coffee table and touches it curiously with her hoof. The TV springs to life with Game of Thrones on.

"AAAAH Dragon! Have at thee, beast!"

Hard Biscuit attacks the TV and it falls onto her. Celestia facehoofs.

"No, you are right, Anon. She is a complete and utter imbecile."

You see Biscuit struggle from under the TV. The sceen has a crack.

"HAH! I defeated the beast!"

Celestia groans. "I´m sorry, Anon. She is my responsibility, so I´ll pay for a new TV."

You look at Celestia, still annoyed about the TV

"So what are we gonna do with her?"

-"Honestly, I don´t know. She is fairly capable with magic, I could teach her the disguise spell and create a identity for her too."

You look at Celly with a doubtfull expession.

"Do you really shink she is capable of slipping in a fake identity?"

You look at Biscuit who is sniffing at the broken TV, only to get a small electric shock.

Celly just looks tired.

"I don´t think so..."

-"Seriously, doesn´t your military have intelligence tests for recruits?"

She looks at you almost insulted

"Of course we do! The thing here is that her family have been royal guards for almost 400 years, so because of her families service to the crown, her results were...deemphasized. Goodness me, she really makes Rainbow Dash look like Starswirl the Bearded..."

-"I don´t know who these people are, but I think I know what you mean. I find it kinda comforting that nepotism is also a thing in your world..."

You walk into the living room and help the twitchhing mare up.

"I won´t even ask why You attacked the TV."

-"I defeated the dragon, and don´t touch the royal guard, you troll!"

You shake your head.

"That was a TV show, you dumbass. A film. Don´t tell me you don´t know what that is, Celly told me you have films in horseworld."

Biscuit is visibly confused.

"But I...Hey! Told you to adress the princess properly!"

Celestia steps in the room.

"He has my permission to adress me like that, Sergeant."

She lets out a looong sigh

"Since you are stuck now too we´ll need to take care that you don´t hurt yourself and others."

Biscuit kneels down.

-"Please, your majesty! Give me a chance to redeem myself! I will protect you from any harm in this world. I live to serve you!"

You look at Celly.

"Are ponies doing that worshipping stuff all the time with you?"

Celly doesn´t answer but gives you an eyeroll that says "Yeah, all day, every day."

"As I said earlier, I do not require your protection, Sergeant. This world, at least this part of this world, is a relatively safe place. I can disguise myself as one of the locals to blend in. I even have found work."

Biscuit looks confused.

"I... don´t think I understand, your majesty."

-"Okay... Look."

With a flash of light Celly turns into her human form.

"aaaaaAAAAAAAHHHH! YOUR MAJESTY! WHERE ARE YOU? WHAT DID YOU DO WITH HER, SHE-BEAST!?!?!"

Celly looks dumbfounded

Lightflash, Ponyform.

"Your Majesty! For a moment you were gone! I feared the worst!

Lightflash, Humanform.

"AAAAAH!"

Lightflash, Ponyform.

"YOUR MAJESTY!"

Lightflash, Humanform.

"AAAAAH!"

Lightflash, Ponyform.

"YOUR MAJESTY!"

Celly and you look at each other baffled.

This is going to be very difficult.

Celly transforms back into her human form

"AAAAAH!"

You get annoyed

"Fucks sake, stop screaming, you moron! The walls in this building are made from cardboard and my neighbours probably think I´m murdering somebody in here."

Celly makes a calming gesture to you.

"Its okay. Sergeant, listen to me. Listen to my voice. Its me, Celestia, I transformed into this form to blend in in this world, its a changeling spell..."

-"THE PRINCESS IS A CHANGELING?!?!?! AAAAAH"

Celly facepalms.

You are really getting pissed

"I think I´m actually GOING to murder her!"

-"Is that a threat, apemonster? I kicked your flank earlier, remember?"

-"Oh yeah? But Celly commanded you not to touch me, so I can kick your ass while you can´t do anything about it!"

You look at Celly

"...right?"

Celly is outraged

"ANON! No, I would never allow something this awfull!"

Then she mutters to herself

"It does sound kind of tempting thou...."

Finally Hard Buscuit understands.

"Y...your majesty? Is that you. Why are you in that hideous form?"

Celly lets out asigh of relief.

"Finally. As I said, I transformed into this, not at all hideous, form to blend in with the natives and to live with them for the time that I am here. Equines are not sapient in this world, unfortunately, so a human mare is fine too. I actually sort of enjoy being one of them."

Biscuit is revolted

"Your majesty! With all due respect! This... this is beyond obscene! Our divine princess should not lower herself to the level of these beasts! You can´t be serious!"

She suddenly stares at you

"YOU! You did something with our pure and holy princess. You brainwashed her to make her your slave and conquer Equestria! You will pay for this heresy!"

Celly transforms into her pony form again and she is not pleased.

"Enough of this, Sergeant! I am completely in control of my senses and I can only stress again that I won´t let you harm Anon in any way. We are only guests in his world, but you are nothing but horrible to him ever since you came out of that portal. He is our friend!"

-"B..but..."

-"No but! You are embarrasing me!"

Celly is talking to you now.

"Look I´m sorry, Anon. I..."

You smile.

"Its okay, Celly. I´m not mad at you. I´m not even mad at her. She thinks she doing the rightious thing."

Biscuit glares at you

"I don´t know what evil spell you did put on her, but I will end it, even if it means that I will end you...."

Celly is engulfed in her golden glow magical glow, she shouts at Hard Biscuit.

"NONE OF THIS!"

A beam of golden magic hits Hard Biscuit.

Hard Biscuit looks horrified as the magic begins to take its effect and she begins to shrink smaller and smaller. At the end she is merely a few centimeters tall. Celestia steps forward and Biscuit looks up to her sovereign that is now mountainsized to her. She cries in a squeaky voice.

"Y...y...y...your highness...Please..."

Celly gently picks her up with her magic and places her on the coffee table..

"I´m sorry, Sergeant, I did not want to do this, but you didn´t leave me a choice. I will return you to your normal if you come to your senses and start to behave like a decent pony. But for now you will stay like that because you pose a threat to yourself and others."

-"I am sorry, your highness!"

Celly answers with sadness and disappointment in her voice.

"Not as sorry as I am, Hard Biscuit."

You are horrified, but also amazed. Actually you are more amazed. Biscuit is so tiny! You say the first though that comes in your head.

"She looks like a toy!"

Celly is not really in the mood.

"Anon, please stop it..."

-"No, hear me out. Tiny pony dolls. That would be an amazing toyline! You could make a frachise out of this! With a cartoon series! You could call it..."

You make a dramatic "big billboard sign" hand gesture

"Tiny Horse Action Force!"

You look at Celestia

"Great, huh?"

Celestia gives you a "How about no" look.

"Sorry Anon, don´t take it personal, but thats one of the dumbest ideas I have ever heard."

You look at the tiny miserable unicorn on the coffee table.

"Oh well, I like the idea. Maybe it the name needs a little work."

You make a mental note to call your old school friend who works for Mattel later.

"So what are we gonna do with her? Will you leave her like that? I know, she is a reckless, thoughtless, violent, possibly homicidal, military zealot, but... I feel sorry for her."

Celly gives you a warm smile.

"Your compssion speaks for you. Don´t worry, I love all of my little ponies. Even thouse who are missguided. But there is one thing here I can not tolerate. She did make an unprovoked threat to your life. This is unnacceptable, even if she is under the delusion that you somehow put a spell on me. She will stay like that untill she has learned the errors of her ways and untill I´m sure that she is not a threat for any one."

She directly adresses Biscuit now

"Did I make myself clear, Sergeant? I am very dissaponited and displeased by your behavior! You may consider this as punishment for your insubordination to both of your princesses. Use the time to think about the errors of your ways."

Bisuit looks defeated

"Maam, yes, your Majesty, Maam..."

You are a bit flushed.

"About that magic... You can actually shrink and grow stuff and living beings...? I mean could you also shrink and grow...yourself?"

Celly answers in a playfull innocent tone.

"Oh yes! It is actually a variation of the transformation spell. I could also apply this to myself, even when in disguise..."

She gives you a wry, knowing grin.

"Your question doesn´t have any connection with that folder labeled "Macro/Micro" on your computer, does it...?"

OH SHIT! You feel as your face turns beet red.

"I...I...I...I... Oh , just look at the time! I really have to go to work now! Have a nice day, Celestia! You too, angry midget!"

You grab your jacket and your backpack and run out of the apartment, almost forgetting to slip in your shoes, hearing Celly chuckle.

You are Celestia now.

Anon just left. You didn´t mean to embarrass him like that, but you found his collection of artworks on his computer and we´re amused as well as intrigued. You have seen online that apperantly a lot of humans had fantasies like him or similar. Ponies are different in things like that. They are more liberal concerning homosexuality than humans, but when it comes to sexuality far less... experimental, less creative. To be honest, you didn´t understand the appeal of most of these phillias you saw. And some did seem to you like crossing into some mayor taboos, but as long as it didn´t hurt anybody it seems good to you.

You smile as you prepare your stuff for your big day at your new work tomorrow, you really look forward to this. You have found a profession that gives you not only some chance to be an active part of this world, but you will be able to improve the lives of many others.

"Your majesty?"

Its Hard Biscuit. You really want to ignore her at the moment, as you still feel a little cross about her. You still choose to answer, albeit a little brusquely.

"Yes. What is it, Sergeant?"

She has walked up to you.

"Maam, please, I know I may have overstepped my boundaries, but I did it all for you! I´m a royal guard, and it is my life and pride to serve the royal sisters!"

-"Sergeant, if that is the case, why do you constantly choose to disobey orders, even by my sister and me? Why don´t you, just for once, think before you act? Times and again you missbehaved and embarrased the royal guards, my sister and me. And always I was trying to find excuses for your behavior, because I believe that everybody deserves a second, third or even fourth chance. Tell me, how many chances did we give you? And how many times did you dissapoint us? I am tired of finding excuses for you. Now, while I probably won´t have you court martialed, your career as a royal guard is certainly over."

Hard Biscuit breaks down crying.

You hate to do this, and you feel terrible to punish one of your beloved little ponies like that. But, you are the mother of your people and a mother has the duty to punish a child that missbehaves. And Hard Biscuit did more than just missbehave.

She actually threatent to kill not an innocent being.

Not only that, but a being that means very much to you.

Not that that would change anything.

Thats just as bad as if you wouldn´t know, respect and really like Anon.

Wait, did you let your affinity for Anon influence your judgement?

That would be terrible!

Meanwhile Poor Hard Biscuit is a sobbing and blubbering mess. She hugs your front hoof and begs for your forgiveness.

"Please, your majesty... Forgive me! Don´t take it away from meheheheheee. I would do anything, anythihihihing for you!!! I have nothing in my life that the guard, and youhuhuhu! You are my life! Plehehehease."

You really hate it when ponies do that.

You never wanted to stand yourself over them, yet they did put you on this pedestal, some even treat you as a living deity. You don´t even know where this comes from! You never claimed to be a goddess, nor did your sister. You managed it to get rid of most of this religious idolisation in the last few centuries, but occasionaly some of the more pious ponies did fall back into it. And Hard Bisduits entiry family was VERY pious.

"Sergeant...Please stop this. Of course the crown will assist you to find a profession that is a little more...fitting for your...talents. For now you stay where you are and don´t casue any trouble, Not for me, nor for Anon,"

Hard Biscuit is still sobbing, trying to pull herseft together.

"Yes...*Sniff*... you majesty... I´m sorry to have failed you. *sniff*"

You roll your eyes, but then you notice something you should have noticed far earlier.

"Say Hard Biscuit... Your Cutie Mark... Its a cookie, isn´t it?"

-"Uh... Yes, your highness. What about it?"

You smile

"Well, a cookie is not exactly related to guard duty, is it? When did you get it?"

Biscuit is suddenly deep in thought.

"Well, I think it was back when I was a filly. I really enjoyed baking cookies and cakes then, and my friends in school said I was great at it, thats when I got it, then I joined the guards when I got older and stopped baking, because it was the tradition of my family to join the guards."

Her eyes grow wide as she starts to understand.

"But... Your majesty, do you think I..."

You give her a gentle nod.

"Yes. That might be the reason why you were not fit as a guard in the first place. You were acting against your special talent, your cutie mark."

-"But... It was tradition in my family for centuries!"

-"Maybe its time for a new tradition. Let me make you an offer. When we return to Equestria I will talk to the royal head chef. He always need ponies that are willing to give their best. Maybe, just maybe, we can arrange an apprenticeship with the royal kitchen."

Biscuits eyes water again, this time with tears of happyness. She jumps on your hoof again this time to kiss it.

"Oh thank you, your majesty, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!"

You sigh

"I will promise you nothing, Sergeant. If you think the commander of the royal guard is tough, you will be suprised how brutal chef Lamb Sauce can be.

Hard Biscuit is looking up at you, a puzzled, yet wary expression on her face.

"Your majesty, if I may ask, what is it with this Anon creature? I´ve never seen a beast like him."

-"Anon is not a beast, he is a human. They are the native beings of this world."

She looks a bit uneasy.

"You mean there are more of that kind?"

-"Oh yes. Billions actually."

She grows pale.

"Bi..,how is a number like that that even possible? Are there also ponies here?"

-"Well, yes and no. There are creatures similar to us, but they are non-sapient animals, the humans use them as beasts of burden."

Biscuit is outraged.

"So they do enslave ponies!"

You shake your head.

"No, no Sergeant its not like that. Its complicatet. You see, it may appear similar, but this world, this universe is completely different from ours. You have probably noticed it, this world is completely devoid of magic. Here is not a micro-thaun of magic in the air."

Biscuit has suddenly an expression on her face as if you just told her that she is swimming in an ocean full of sharks.

"Oh my... Now that you mention it... Thats horrifying!"

-"We can manage because our bodies produce enough magic. There is a theory by some scolars in Equestria that the ubquitous background magic of our world influenced the way creatures evolved, why so many races like dragons, griffins, minotaurs, hippocampi and ponies became sapient. In this world humans are the only sapient beings, they clawed their way to the top of the foodchain, literally. They are the alpha predators of this world in which survival is far more brutal than in ours, not because they were stronger than other creatures, or had sharper teeth or claws, no because they are adaptable, cunning and creative. They had to be, in this world nature is uncontroled, cruel and unforgiving. The weather is not controled too, as well as the sun and the moon."

Biscuit look horrified.

"This is a nightmare. We must get away from here, back home."

You give her a gentle, calming smile.

"We will Sergeant. But while we´re here I want to study this world as much as possible. These humans do intrigue me. They are beings as extreme as their world, capable of great acts of compassion and kindness, yet at the same time capable of atrocities unimagenable to ponykind. Their intelligence and craftiness has lead them so some incredible triumphs in art, science and culture, but their creativity is also boundless when they have to find ways to kill each other. Maybe I will write a book or two when we return on humans and this world."

You see that Biscuit has a hard time digesting all of this. She takes a moment to collect all of her courage to ask the next question.

"Your majesty... please forgive me for comitting the heresy of asking, but... The way you look at that hu-man Anon. Are you... well.. are you... attached to him...?"

You look surprised at her, and she instantly covers in fear.

"I´M SORRY! I´M SORRY! I´M SORRY!!! It was just, again forgive me, it almost seemed like he was your very special somepony. Oh, sun and moon... I´ll go to tartarus for this."

You blink. Then you have to laugh, you have to laugh like you haven´t laught in a very long time. Poor Biscuit seems confused.

"Your majesty...?"

You try to pull yourself together.

"Hehehe, Oh my... No, Sergeant...Heheh...I... am very found of Anon. That much is true, but I value him as a true and good friend. I appeared here in this room, his living room, lost and confused. He was just as scared and shocked as me, but he tried to help me from pretty much the first moment. He gave me food and shelter. And he introduced me to his world and its great works of culture."

You make a mental note to rewatch Dragonball Z with Hard Biscuit.

"He offerd me help when I needed it and he offerd to extend that help to you. For this I am eternaly gratefull to him. And so should you."

Biscuits looks down to her hooves and thinks about it for a minute before answering.

"Yes, your majesty. If you trust him I will try to do the same. Now... could you please grow me back to normal size?"

You grin.

"Not now, Sergeant. This is supposed to be your punishment after all, remember?"

You bow down and muzzle her gently then you give her a lick

"Besides... I do kinda like you like that, my little pony..."

You extend your hoof down to Hard Biscuit.

"Hop on, little one.I want to take a closer look on you."

-"Y...yes, your majesty."

She climbs onto the frog of your right front hoof. How light she is. How small, adorable and delicate. You begin to understand Anons phillia as you lift her to your snout. This is...titillating! How interesting!

"Hop onto my muzzle, Sergeant I want to have an eye on you as I finish preparing for tomorrow."

She follows suit and gasps as walks onto your muzzle.

"Your majesty... You coat is incredibley soft!"

She sits down and snuggles into your fur. You chuckle as it tickles you a bit.

"Thank you, Sergeant. I try to keep it in good condition."

She looks down at your work.

"Your majesty, may I ask what you plan for tomorrow?"

-"You may. Tomorrow I, or rather me in my human personae, will be signing a work contract for an employment at the local social services office. That way I can make myself usefull instead of sitting on my flank all day, help Anon, with some money and can help people that are in need."

-"You actually go out? In that hide... I mean in that human disguise? Are you sure that this is wise? You said that this was a cruel, unforgiving world."

Her worries for your safety warm your heart.

"That may be true, but you know that I am very powerfull, I can defend myself with my magic against almost any danger in this world, and even without magic I am physically much stronger than an human. There is no thread for me as my disguise works perfect. Well, almost..."

You can see that she wants to protest, but gives in as she sees that there is no point.

As you watch the small guard mare on your snout, you realize how much you missed seeing one of your little ponies. But there is something else... You have felt a weird uneasyness all morning. You watch Hard Biscuit very closely. She is not an attractive unicorn mare in the classical sense, she is quite short and muscular, and her jawline is just a tad bit too masculine, but there is something about her that makes you tingly, she has a really nice flank too...

Wait, why are you thinking this about her...

Oh.

Oh dear.

THIS time of the year is coming.

While you and your sister are actually over 1400 years old you are both biologically still healthy mares in their physical prime. And you both have certain...needs.

Last year you body canceld your estrus, due to the shock and stress of being stranded on earth, but that means that it will come back this year with a vengance. In Equestria you and your sister have servants that assist you in this time, they are stallions and mares selected for their physical qualities. The palace is quite hush-hush about it, officially the royal sisters don´t have sexuality, a stupid and prude leftover from the times in which ponies actually worshipped you as living deities. Should you ask Biscuit for assistance? Or Anon? You accidentally saw him naked once. He is quite well equiped...

Oh, stop it!

You magically lower Biscuit down to the table. She seems confused by that and looks up to you with a quizzical expression.

You bite your lip.

"Sergeant... There is something I would like to ask you... It is a... well, unusual request..."

Her face brightens up.

"I will do anything for you my princess!"

You clear your throat.

"Well, you know. I am your princess... But I am also a mare. I... Uhm.. No, let me put it this way...You have been a guard of five years now, do you remember what usually happens around this time of year?"

Blank stare

"You mean they start selling summer sun celebration candies? Yeah, they do that earlier every year. Everything to get some extra bits..."

-"N..No... In the palace. Do you remember all of the extra staff we employ at this time of year? All of those... able mares and stallions?"

-"Huh? oh yeah! What about them?"

-"Do you know WHY we employ them every year?"

She still doesn´t understand.

"Not really. Well, there were some rumors by the senior officers that you... But that was just some locker room talk. borderline heretic nonsense. I mean, you are our eternal princess of the sun! You would never..."

Her face shows doubt and confusion.

"Would you...?"

You feel kind of bad for ruining her image of you like that.

"Sergeant. Hard Biscuit. I am at the end of the day a mare just like you. So I do have the same... body functions as you. What you feel about once a month, I feel every year, only much stronger. I would really appreciate your assistance with this."

The poor little mares eyes grow really wide.

"Y...Y..YOUR MAJESTY!!! You cannot possibly mean this! This is... I...I...I... I don´t think I´m worthy to serve you in such a way anyway."

She is blushing bright red.

"You are a fine mare, Sergeant. You have always been loyal to us. Misguided and of poor judgement but loyal. I ask you because I feel that my estrus is coming up and it allready starts to affect me."

She winces a bit as you say the word "estrus", thats something you don´t really want to hear from somebody you deem as a demigod.

"I was wondering about asking Anon about this, but..."

-"NO! No way I let that beast defile my princess! I will do it, your majesty! For you! For Equestria!"

You give her a grin.

"That is the spirit, Sergeant."

You turn around and lift your tail. Your marehood starts to wink and is allready wettening. Hard Biscuit is approaching it and starts to give it a few genle kisses. You barely feel it but her touch send shivers through your body. You have an idea.

"Keep going, Sergeant. I thinkI shall join you."

You start to shrink slowly. No notice Biscuit is stopping for a moment, she notices what you do, but then she starts working on you much with much more vigor. As you shrink you slowly relocate yourself onto the coffee table.You are still 3-4 times bigger than her, as you fully stand on the table. She has to stand on her rear legs to pleasure your mare hood with her tounge, she even nibbles on your clitoris, which sends lightning bolts of pleasure though your body.

As you finally have shrunk down to her size you turn around and look her in the eyes.

"Your majesty. I´ve... I´ve been dreaming about this. I love you."

You give her a kiss and start to lick her horn. She gasps. Unicorn horns are incredibly sensitive due to the many nerves in the skin. She answers giving gentle kisses on your neck.

You lie down presenting your belly and teats to Biscuit.

"Now Sergeant, if you keep up the good work I will return the favor."

She understands and lies down sideways in front of you too, facing your privates while presenting her hot, moist marehood to you. You probe her with your tounge, she is quite tight. She lets out a cute whinny. You start working on each other for hours.

This is bliss.

Hours later, you are Anon now.

After a long shitty day you finally arrive home. You just remember that the little idiot broke the TV. You hope Celly chewed her out for that. As you walk through the door you are greeted by Celly.

She seems oddly happy and rubs her head onto you? Whats wrong with her?

"Oh, welcome home Anon! I hope your day was good."

-"Eh, could have been better... Whats going on? You´re acting weird."

She giggles

"No, I´m good, great actually."

You walk into the living room. Hard Biscuit is asleep on a pillow on the coffee table. She is snoring. Celly smiles at her gently.

"Aw she is all tuckered out."

You have no idea what the fuck is going on, and something in the back of your head tells you that you dont want to know.

You sigh and sit down on the couch, taking your notebook.

"Well, guess its youtube for entertainement then."

Celly snuggles to you, You are confused by her behaviour but you don´t really mind. You lay your arm around her and pat her side.

Suddenly you notice something.

"God, whats that smell?"
