Celly vs. Earth

Its been an few exiting weeks for Celestia and you (and Hard Biscuit).

Celestia got through her estrus with your assistance, you discovered an interesting weird side effect while fucking each others brains out, appearantly human semen somehow diminishes the symptoms of their estrus. You both have no idea how the fuck this is possible, you both think this is rather bizarre, but you both are kinda glad it works.

Celestia started her work at the social department of F-City and, to your pleasant surprise, she is really damn good at it! She is quite passionate about it and you see her often in the evening studying legal texts and files. Hard Biscuit is still tiny, but you get along better, she actually started to open up to you a little (she still is kind of a stupid cunt). She spends much of her time watching shit on YouTube.

One day you come home from work early. HB is sitting in front of the laptop watching her baking videos.

"Maam, I... Oh, sorry, its you Anon."

-"Sorry to dissapoint you. Celly called me on my way home earlier. She stays a little longer at work because she needs to finish a case."

HB still flinches when you call Celestia Celly, but she grits her teeth and accepts it because Celly likes it when you call her like that.

"I hope she comes home soon, because I found another recepie for cakes that I would like to try. I will bring back an amazing libary of new recepies home to Equestria as soon as we get back."

You sigh, it kinda breaks your heart that she ignores the fact that she probably has to stay here on earth for years or even the rest of her life.

"If you get back..." you say to yourself.

Unfortunately HB has good ears.

"What do you mean by that? Of couse we will return soon! All of Equestrias best wizards, witches and sorcerers are working tirelessly to open the portal, there are even some necromacers working on it, creepy guys. But they will soon have found a way!"

You shake your head.

"Bisquit, they are working on it for almost one and a half year and they are not closer to a solution."

HB is starting to panic

"B...but they HAD a portal, the one I came here with, remember?"

-"That was a deadend, as it only worked one way and would have killed Celestia when she went through. Celestia told me that they had to start from scrap, but are not really closer to a solution yet. I think Celestia has allready come to terms with the fact that she probably has to stay on earth."

Biscuit shakes her head tears of anger in her eyes.

"No. No! NO!!!
Her majesty would not give up, thats a lie! She will find a way to get us home!"

-" She hasn´t given up. But she is not ignoring reality. She is an incredible intelligent and wise being. And she believes in you ponies, but she knows that there is the possibillity that they will not find a way to bring you home. Thats something she had to come to terms with. And so do you."

-"I...I..don´t"

HB breaks down in a sobbing mess. You feel sorry for her. Obvously she didn´t even see the posibility that she may never see her world, her home, her family never again. It all comes crashing down on her now. You awkwardly pat her back.

"Its okay. Celestia is here for you. And...and I am here. I know its not much but... well I don´t know. I´ll be your friend."

HB sniffs and looks up to you.

"You...mean that Anon? After all the time I´ve been mean to you?"

You smile. She is not as beautyfull as Celly, but quite cute in her own way.

"Of course, I will help you to get along on this world! Celestia has it all figured out, so she can probably create an human identity for you as she did for herself. Should be easier, now that she is in the system. But I can help you with getting around in our culture and help you with the horny mare stuff as I did with Celestia..."

You slap your hand in front of your mouth.

Oh fuck!

You fucking blabbering idiot!

HB focuses you with a stare of barely contained fury.

"What did you do with the princess."

HBs stare intesifies to almost a laser. She is too small to harm you in any way, but still she suddenly scares the living crap out of you.

"I...I.. Look... It was HER idea. And it did relief her a great deal. I did serve her in a way. Yeah! I did serve the crown! Sure, it was crazy kinky fun, but... Oh geez..."

Biscuit takes a step forward, trembling with rage.

"You dirty, filthy MONKEY!

You defiled our most noble, most sacred princess!!!

I´m going to.

Kick!

Your!

FLANK!“

With this she makes a weird face.

For a moment you think that she has an aneurysm or a stroke from her rage, but then you see that her horn lights up as she concentrates on a magic spell.

Suddenly She surges a little bigger.

"YES. It works! Wait untill I´m back at my normal size. I will END you, ape!“

-"W..wait! You made a promise to Celly...your princess that you will not harm me!"

She grimmasses.

"I...Argh...horseapples... wait, something is wrong..."

As she grows bigger she seems to get fatter.

She looks panicked as a faint hissing sound is getting audible.

"What is happening. I can´t... Ugh."

Her body grows more and more spherical, her legs and her head grow fatter, even her horn seems to widen.

"EEK!"

She blushes deep red as her teats between her hind legs pop out into two smaller spheres. Soon her increasingly stubby fat legs cant reach the ground anymore as she grows to the size and shape of a medicine ball. Her hooves wiggle helpless as her legs get swallowed up by the grith of her ever faster balloning body, as does her increasingly puffy head.

"Biscuit... You...you made your point... You can stop it...

Her eyes bulge in terror.

"I can´t stop it!"

Her panic somehow seems to fuel her growth as the ballon of her body surges far beyond her regular size. She begins to fill the room. To your horror you realize that she is blocking your only exit. Another problem appears, her body starts to get shiny and emmits sounds like an overinflated balloon.

"For the love of god! Biscuit Stop it!"

You manage to shout in horror as the ballooning mass of her body pushes you againts the wall.

"I...Can´t...Take much more!.. Huff... I fell like...like I´m gonna blow. But... at least I´ll take you with me... This is the price... Huff... you will pay for... your sacrilege... I´m ready... Huff... I´m ready for the great meadow in the beyond!!!"

For fucks sake, that little loony is going to snackbar you!

Her body creacks as it rubs against all walls and the celing. So this is it. The fortune teller was right when she told you that you will die smothered by a fat crazy female.

You are Celestia now.

Finally you are back home. You love your new work as you feel that you are really helping people and make a difference for those who are less fortunate. Today went well. The commission greenlighted your idea for the youth meets the elderly programme and which will give generations a chance to learn from each other and at the same time reduce costs for youth and elderly programmes by combining them. You hum as you lock open the apartment door.

"Anon, Biscuit, I´m ho... What in the name of my sun is that?!?!?"

Growing out of the living room door is a shiny, lilac bubble for the lack of a better word, filling the enire doorway and giving an omnious groaning sound. Wait, what is that image on the side. It almost looks like a...cookie...

Hard Biscuit!

You try to piece together what happend. Quickly you place your hand on the bubble and cast an quick analysis spell. It seem like Biscuit tried to reverse your spell that left her tiny, but her rather humble, to put it this way, magical abillities combined with the spell cast in anger caused it to backfire.

Wait, why was she angry?

You feel another presence in that room...

"*Sigh* For bucks sake, Anon..."

You have to act swiftly, otherwise Hard Biscuit could get stuck like that, or worse burst which would kill her. You need to relief the pressure before you can cast any spells. You rush into the kitchen and grab a roll of package tape from the tool drawer as well as a needle. You place the tape generously on theside of the bubble which used to be Biscuits flank. Then you carefully punkture the skin through the tape. The skin doesn´t rupture and a stream of warm air shoots out as soon as you pull out the needle. Good! You puncture her two more times. You let out a breath of relief as the bubble starts to shrink. Soon you can enter the room ad see Anon, who is distressed and confused. Also you see Biscuits face who seems equally distressed but as soon as she sees you gasps in relief.

"You Majesty! Thank you for ssssaaaaaavvviiiing meeeeeeee....."

She crumples down and fills most of the floor like a deflated pool toy. You sense that she is still alive. You pick up a side of the deflated shape and start to fold her together. Anon stares at you then at Biscuit, then back at you.

"FUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!"

You let out a sigh as you roll up Biscuit into a ball and cast a spell to reform her into a pony.

"What did you do this time, Anon.

Anon only lets out a studder: "I...uhm..she... uhm...you..."

Hard Biscuit chimes in, still groggy

"YoOoOour highneesss, Did he really defile you? Iiii tried tooo groOow back to bring him to justice..."

You give Anon your best dissapointed teacher look

"Seriously, Anon. I thought we agreed to NOT tell her about this."

Anon looks defeated

"I´m sorry, I didn´t mean to. It just slipped my tounge."

Biscuit looks up to you, she looks like a part of her world had just collapsed

"So, its true? But..but your highness! Its... You are THE PRINCESS! How could you with a creature like ...This is... so obscene!"

You resist the urge to roll your eyes and give her a gentle smile

"Hard Biscuit, I think we´ve been through this. Yes, I am your princess. But I am also a mare with natural urges. Anon helped me with it and... well...I want to be frank with you, we both did really enjoy it."

Anon blurts out

"Oh its awesome, she even turns me into a stallion sometimes! I would have never thought that I was into that!"

You give Anon a quick glance and he shuts up

"However. Yes, we enjoy it so we decided, as two mature adults, to turn our friendship into a friendship with benefits. We didn´t want to tell you because we knew that it would upset you. But now that you know, I ask you to accept it. You do not have to like it, but please tolerate it."

Biscuit is almost crying

"Yes your highness..."

You turn back into your pony form and gently stroke her with the tip of your wing

"I understand that it is hard for you, you are loyal and faithfull like all ponies in your family, but I never asked you ponies to see me as some sort of deity. Yes, I am the ruler (Luna too of course), I have lovingly guided and protected my little ponies for over a millenium and intend to do so when we return, but at the end of the day I´m not a virgin, pure goddess, I´m still a pony, I´m a mare and, even if it disturbs you, I do have a sexuality. Please accept that, I ask you not as your princess but as your friend."

Hard Biscuit looks down at her hooves, tears in her eyes.

"Yes... I understand, your highness... I...
Its.. hard thou, especially since..."

She mumbles something almost unaudible, but you hear what she says.

"Oh, Biscuit. I love you too, but not like that. I love you like all of my little ponies."

She looks up at you, pain in her eyes.

"No, your highness, I know. I loved you for all of my life, but I know it will always be onesided. But thats why I want to serve you with my heart and soul. You are my sun, and will always be, till the end no matter what."

She swallows hard before she said the last sentence with a stubborn pride.

You bow down to her and give her a kiss,

"I know, my dear little pony. I want you to know that you have my love and eternal gratitude for your loyalty."

Anon stands on the side and looks a bit uncomfortable.

"So... You told me that they do that a lot, but isn´t that freaking you out?"

You give him a smile

Its okay Anon. My sister and I are used to it. I think we are the topic of a lot of colts and fillies fantasies growing up. And thats nothing compared to the love letters my dear Cadance as princess of love is getting, even thou it thankfully winded down a little after she married and had her foal. Some of the mail was a bit disturbing..."

Anon laughs.

"So you have pervs and stalkers too. I think thats pretty comforting that we humans are not the only race in that department!"

Biscuit is outraged

"I am NOT a perv! I just... the princess is... When I grew up..."

Anon is grinning now and he is looking at you.

"Oh no! Biscuit! Don´t tell me you did naughty things while thinking of the princess!"

Biscuit is red as a beet and almost melting into the table, and you feel that you start to blush too.

"Anon, stop it you are embarrassing m..her!"

He falls over laughing and you can´t help to start laughing too.

Its true, you know that your sister and you, Cadance and recently even Twilight have become the sexual fantasy of a lot of ponys. You try not to think too much about it, because you feel as much flattered as you feel creeped out by that. Luna told you about some dreams she has seen and... Well lets just say there are some things you would like to try and a lot of stuff that is an absolute no go.

"I have to take a shower behave you two!"

You step out of the living room cotemplating the though of being not only worshipped as a deity but a sex symbol.

You are Anon now.

Celly has left the room why you where still giggling. You may have gone to far again here. You look at Biscuit, she looks mortally embarrased.

"Hey, sorry Biscuit. I was pulling your leg."

You carefully pat her back.

See, I think I have finally found something we both have in common."

She looks up at you, a puzzled expression on her face.

"Well, we both really love her."

You sigh, and continiue

"But we both know deep inside that our love will not be answered in the way we would like it. She is out of our league, my dear."

Later that night.

Celestia, Biscuit and you sit on the couch and watch TV.

Earlier, after Celly prevented her from blowing up in your face, Biscuit and you had a long talk. You understand her a bit better now and noticed that you have quite a few things in common, like overbearing, terrible parents. You really think you have adressed pretty much everything between you two and the strange relationship the three of you now have.

You are watching the newest episode of Supergirl.

Biscuit is amazed

"I can´t believe you have comicbooks and superheroes in this world!"

You are suprised

"Wait comics are a thing in your world too?"

Celly smiles
"Oh they are, I didn´t read much of them before coming to earth, so I´m actually more familliar with earths comics than with equestrian comic books, but they are a thing, my sister really loves them."

-"Your sister? You mean Luna? She didn´t really sond like that. I mean I don´t know her, but..."

• "Oh, believe me. Lulu is a giant dork. She loves to act all courtly and feudal, much more than me, in public, but she has a giant comic collection. She got her bat pony guards to play "Ogres & Oubliettes" with her. She went to Daring Do and Comic conventions incognito. You´d love her, I hope you can meet her and talk about comics one day."

-"I´d love to!"

Celly smiles and rolls her eyes

"Just be prepared for a three hour rant how the comic "Knightmare - Pony crusader of the night" is complete copy of her..."

Biscuit is completely serious

"Her highness is not joking. My brother, who is also in the guard, once said how "Knightmare" is kinda goofy with princess Luna listening." She looks down at her hooves "He never was the same afterwards..."

You still try to wrap your head around the concept of pony superheroes

"So, are there actual comic publishers too?"

Biscuit pipes up

"Oh yeah, of course! The biggest one is Marevel Even thou they got kinda lame in recent years."

-"How so?"

• "Well, they got all preachy when they started to punch for more diversity. I mean I am okay with more stallions as superheroes, Also a griffon Superheroine and the cross over of the Yakkernaut and the Saddle Rager was pretty sweet but now a changeling superheroine??? Thats ridiculus!"

You blink and have some flashbacks to stuff you have witnessed before online and in your local comic shop.

"I don´t really know how to respond to this..."

Celly smiles

"I actually like this entertainment. I notices that some heroes like Supergirl and Goku are in similar situations as me: extremely powerfull beings, stranded on a strange world that became a new home."

You nudge Celly

"Yeah, right. Thats just what we need, you getting out there and fighting crime or intergalactic warlords. Hahaha!"

• "Hmmmm...."

You stop laughing. She is making THAT face again. She is having one of her ideas. You need to distract her.

"B...by the way! I talked to my friend who works at the toy company about my "Tiny Horse Action Force" idea, and he said he is willing to get us a talk with the big wigs in the company if we make a good concept for the toys, I could use some help from you with the concept and the characters! I got really stoked for the idea after you told me how much your boss liked the idea!"

-"Oh, sure! I had actually started to write some stories and character pitches. Do you want to see them?"

Celestia hands you a note pad she scribbled some characters and story idess onto. There are six main characters, and Celestia as well as her loyal guard "Cookie Cutter".

"Really? Those are basically Your student Twilight and her weirdo friends you told me about. And those stories... wasn´t that stuff that actually happend? I know you told me about one or two of those stories..."

Celly scrunches her face.

"Weeeeeell... It may be based on true events. Look, why change good existing characters? They are a balanced group and complement each other. Also it will give people a lesson that even people with completely different personalities and interests can be friends. I feel like this is an important lesson for this world, especially in the divisive times you people live in."

You think about it for a moment.

"Yeah, I think you got a point there, but maybe you should rethink the names you give them... "Dawn Glitter"? "Zapple Apple"? I don´t know..."

Celly pouts

"You know names are hard... Oh well, may be I could..."

Celly furrowns her brow and looks around.

You are concerned

"Whats wrong?"

-"I don´t know...
I just sensed...something...familiar...
As if...
Something just happend...
Something magic related.
Close.
But now I don´t feel it anymore.
Well, that was weird."

You chuckle
"Was it a disturbance in the force, Obi Wan?"

Celly slaps playfully the back of your head with her hoof.

Biscuit just stare blankly.

"I don´t get it."

Meanwhile on a meadow a few kilometres outside of F-City.

You are ??? now.

Headache.

Your eyes flutter open.

A cloudy muddy night sky.

You are alive?

Huh.

That is unexpected. Last thing you remember was those accursed princesses turning you into a garden decoration, along with those two fools.

The indignity!

The insolence!

How dare they doing this to you!

After all those ponies allready took from you!

Defeated.

Again.

Well, at least you appear to be alive.

Regroup and plan for revenge.

You try to get up and this is when you notice that something is off. Your body feels weird. You look down on yourself and...

"What madness is this!"

You appear to be a scrawny biped, clad in some weird robes. Your front legs end in some weird appendiges like the ones that big red oaf has, you think he called them hands.

This will not do.

You try to transform back into your beautyful, glorious self.

Nothing.

You try again.

You stay a scrawny biped.

This is bad.

You look around you.

Nearby lie two figures, a huge bulky one and a tiny one.

They look different but you instantly recognice them.

Its the oaf and the brat.

They appear to be some sort of ugly monkey creatures.

You look down at yourself and instanly start to boil with fury. And when you thought you couldn´t despise those ponies any more.

"How dare they do this to me!"

You hear a groaning next to you.

Its the oaf.

He slowly gets up and looks at you.

"What?"

He looks at the brat.

"What?"

He looks at himself.

"WHAAAT? IS THIS SUPPOSED TO BE HUMOROUS?!?!"

You find his fury pleasing, at least you dont suffer alone.

"I´m not exactly sure. I assume ist either our punishment or an attempt of a "fffriendship" lesson."

You spit out the F-word with the most disgust you can muster.

"Knowing those damn ponies probably the later."

Tirek makes an annoyed grunt

"These ponies and their forgiveness. They should have gotten over with it and killed us. Don´t they realize that we will try everything to get back at them and destroy them? Their naive faith in mercy will be their undoing."

You agree

"Yes, we will get our revenge, but first we have to find out what they have done to us and how to undo it. Also..."

You look around you, there is something very strange about this place and you can´t put your hoof on it.

"Where are we? This is not Equestria!"

Tirek nods

"Yes, I doubt we are even still on Equuos anymore. This place...It..."

His eyes grow wide with sudden horror.

"There is no magic here. Not a microthaum of magical energy! In Equestria everything, the air, the plants, the rocks, is loaded with magic, but here, it... it is a magical void!"

You notice with dread that he is right. You couldn´t even imagen that such a place existed.

"So this is why they sended us here. No magic. We are powerless. It is a perfect prison. I would have never thought that they would be capable to such cruelty."

A part of you actually wants to admire that.

"Mhmmm... Gn... Whu?"

Oh fantastic. The brat just woke up.

Cozy sits up and stares at you and Tirek with a confused expression. Then she starts laughing.

"Pffft. KYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! They turned you into monkeys! GNIHIHIHIHI You both look so stupid! HIHIHIHIHIHAHAHA Well, do you want a banana? Or some peanuts? HAHAHAHA!"

Tirek and you just look at each other.

Tirek gives you a mean smirk

"Soooo, do you want to tell her, or..."

You cant help but let out an evil little cackle.

"Oh, no no. Go on, I insist..."

Tirek leans forward to Cozy with a wide grin

"Well, little Pegasus, you might want to look in a mirror soon."

He leans forward a little more, his grin growing wider.

"Actually make that little EX-pegasus."

Cozy looks confused for a brief moment, then she realizes that she was transformed as well, her face turning into a grimasse of disgust and pure rage.

Oh, this is just delicious to watch. You always hated that little brat, and seeing her having a mayor meltdown is extremely satisfying.

"ARE YOU BUCKING KIDDING ME?!?!?!
HOW DARE THEY!
HOW DARE THOSE BUCKING, MANURE-EATING, OLD NAGS TO DO THIS TO ME!!!
I WILL END THEM! I WILL RIP OFF THEIR HORNS AND SHOVE THEM UP THEIR FLANKS!!!
I...I cant even fly anymore! And to add insult to injury, I´m still stuck in a childs body!"

Wait, what?

Tirek heard that too.

"What do you mean with that...?"

Cozy grows pale for a second as she realized that in her fury she may have told you too much, but quickly puts up her facade.

"Oh Golly, I don´t know what you mean, Tirek, old buddy."

Tireks eyes narrow.

"Wait a minute... Oh, Ohohohoho. I always knew there was something off about you. I mean, I should have realized it, when they threw you into Tartarus. Ponys would never do that to a little filly, its not their style."

He leans in very close and focuses Cozy.

"But you, you are not a filly at all, are you?"

Cozy Glow tries to hold up her charade.

"Gee, you really act silly now, big guy, don´t you?"

• "CUT.

THE.

MANURE.

I think I also speak for Chrysalis, when I say that we are sick and tired of your disgusting saccarine act."

Cozy stops for a moment and then the weirdest thing happens.

Her whole posture, her body langlauge, changes. Its is the most impressive transformation you have ever seen from an non-changeling.

"Well then."

Her voice is the voice of an adult mare now

"I guess the cat is out of the bag."

Cozy Glow leans back and crosses her hindlegs.

"Its true. I am not a filly. I am actually 38 years old. I have a rare condition that stopped my physical development when I was just 6 years old. I had to watch my peers grow up and have a normal life and the realisation that I will never have that was endlessly frustrating. It is not fair! So I decided use my situation and just take what life denied me. I was fairly successfull as an impostor and crook, swindeld quite a number of ponies out of their bits, untill I had to skip town to Ponyville. I thought this ridiculus "School of Friendship" was my big break, but, well you know the rest..."

She sighs

"I was actually contemplating telling you about my...condition, but I hesitated because I was unsure about your reaction."

She suddenly has a salacious grin on her face and crawls over to Tirek.

"In a way I am glad you found out. That way I don´t have to hide anymore that I feel very, VERY attracted to a certain individual of our little gang..."

Tirek looks confused but as he realizes what she implies he starts to look disturbed, horrified even.

"WHOA! WHOWHOWHOWHOA!

STOP!

RIGHT!

THERE!

You little freak!

I would never touch a filly in such a way!

I may be a bad guy, but I am not *THAT* sort of a bad guy!"

• "WHAT? I JUST TOLD YOU I´M LEGAL, YOU DINGUS!"

-" YOU STILL LOOK LIKE A FILLY, monkey-filly?, WHATEVER! THIS IS TOO BUCKING WEIRD FOR ME!!!"

-"YOU WILL NOT DENIE ME!!! I HAVE LITEARLLY DECADES OF PENT UP LUST!"

Tirek almost jumps several hoofs in the air from his sitting position.

"STAY AWAY! I DON´T WANT TO HEAR THIS!!!"

While this disturbing scene plays out in front of you you still try to process it.
That little pony actually managed it to decieved you, the queen of deception, for several months. In hindsight much of her behavior makes sense now. She was always too clever, too shrewd to be for her supposed age. Yet you didn´t suspect a thing! As much as you really hate to admit it to yourself, you are actually impressed. You stare at Cozy Glow and start to laugh.

"You fooled me. Your deception was almost perfect. Almost. It is a shame that such talent is wasted on a pony, you would have made a fantastic changeling, a true, proud changeling, not these disgusting, pastel degenerates, that this vile, little, treachorous ursuper Thorax has turned my hive into."

You stand up.

Standing and walking on your hindlegs is no problem for you, as you posed as all sorts of biped creatures before. You just wonder why you wear those impractical contraptions on your... Hooves? Paws? What are these things at the end of your rear legs called anyway? Well, they make you appear taller and more imposing when standing up, thats a plus. Just now you notice that some sort of small bag or purse made from black leather is hanging over your shoulder, you decide to check it out later.

You adress your two allies in adversity:

"Stop this nonsense, we need investigate where we are, we can´t stay here on this confounded meadow all night!"

You march to a crest of a small hill, the other two following you, shakey as they have some problems adapting to walking on just two legs.

You see behind the hill as sickish glow on the sky.

As you pass the crest of the hill you see a impressive scene in front of you.

A large plain with, what you can only describe as a humongous city, much, MUCH bigger than anything in Equestria, all illuminated by millions of bright artifical lights, it all stretches out for countless miles with a center of tall skyscrapers, taller than even in Manehattan.

The three of you stand there for several minutes in stunned silence.

Cozy is the first to speak.

"We´re definitively not in Equestria anymore."

She looks at you

"So, you think these ugly ape bodies we have, is that what the creatures in this world look like?"

"Could it be...?"

Tirek says, mostly to himself.

"What?"

You turn around to him

"Do you know this place?"

-"No, its... Its an old legend of my people, ages before I was even born. It is said that back then we used magic portals to raid other worlds, other dimensions for wealth and slaves. One of these worlds was a world void of any magic, the only sapient creatures there were hairless apes, quite cunning and crafty, but aggressive and tribal. They were primitive, just had discoverd how to use fire and craft basic wepons from sticks and stones. We soon lost the ability to create those portals, and it was assumed that the apes would all kill each other as soon as they were able to craft more complex weapons like swords or spears..."

He shakes his head

"..but that was merely a silly old legend mothers tell their children, It can´t be."

You snort

"Well, we´ll see about that."

You start to walk down the hill towards the city.

Soon you reach some sort of path, on a bench you see a discarded news paper.

Cozy Glow saw it too.

"Maybe we can learn more about this world from this?"

The three of you sit down on the bench and look at the paper, you do not question the fact that you can read it, you assume its part of your transformation.

The headlines are VERY interesting...

"10 dead in mall mass shooting"

"T millitary invades northern S - High civilian casualtys feared"

"C gouverment cracks down on peacefull civilian protests in H"

Tirek smirks.
"This world... So much greed for power, so much aggression. There is so much potential!"

You have to agree.

"Yes, there is indeed a certain... rustic charme to it. At least it is not as infested with "friendship" as Equestria. Obviously!"

Cozy pipes up.

"You know, if we play our cards right we can get a looong way here."

-Yes, but at the end of the day our goal must be returning to Equestria and get our revenge."

-"Oh certainly!"

As you flip through the pages you see on the photos that the only creatures are indeed those ugly apes, like you and your partners in crime.

Suddely Tirek straightens up, as if he had recieved a shock, he starts franticly flipping through the pages untill he gets to the local news in the back.

"No.... No, it can´t be... Its her!!!"

He points with shaking finger on a photography of a female ape. You don´t know what it is but you immidiatly despise her.

"Its... Its Celestia!"

-"WHAT?"

You and Cozy scream in unisono.

"She... is disguised as one of those creatures, but it is unmistakenly her. She just radiates her magic, even more so in this magicless world, her magic was imprinted in the picture and the print of the newspaper, I can smell it, I can taste it! Its is a taste I will never forget!"

His voice trembles as he starts licking his lips.

You read the line under the image:

"Open house day at the city hall - Tia Prince, a new employee at the social department, volunteers to guide visitors."

"TIA PRINCE?!?!?"

You cry out in rage.

"This is what she calls herself here? The gall of her, the audacity! It is as if she is mocking me!!!"

Cozy is very silent but suddenly speaks up.
"But... If she is here. Maybe there is a way back to Equestria? Maybe she is not alone. We should investigate, but need to be carefull..."

You hate to admit it, but she is right.

"True, we need a base of operation first..."

You remember your small bag, you take a look in it and find a small wallet, in it you find some coins and colourfull paper with bridges and numbers on it.

"What is this stuff?"

Cozy.

"Oh, I think this is money. I read that some realms outside of Equestria started to experiment with papers that have a value in gold, its more practical than luging around a purse full of gold bits."

You humpf and look though your wallet untill you find a small card with a picture of a female ape that... wait is that you?!?!? You read what is written on the card.

"Federal Republic of G" Identity card. "Regina Cryssal"

"...what the hay?"

Tirek notices something, he grabs at a pocket on his flank and pulls out a wallet himself. He pulls out a similar card:

"Tarek Bulba"

He looks at the sky

"Tarek Bulba... I... I kinda like it!".

Cozy beams.

"Oh, my turn!"

She takes off the litte pink saddlebag from her back and starts rummaging in it. Her face grows sinister as she, aside from a juice box and some candys, pulls out a small maroon booklet reading only "Federal Republic of G - Childrens Passport" with a small heraldic eagle in the middle.

"Childrens passport. Of course."

she groans. She flips it open.

"Cassie O´Glower... Well this is not too bad... WHAT?!?!?! WARD OF REGINA CRYSSAL AND TAREK BULBA?!?!?!"

You and Tirek start to laugh.

Tirek quips.

"Well, whaddaya know! I always wanted a daughter!"
You chime in.

"Oh, don´t worry little one. I have some experience raising young!"

Cozy gives you a sadistic glance

"Is that why all of them rebelled against you?"

You feel a sting in your heart.

"Don´t you dare..."

You manage to hiss.

Tirek ahems and tries to defuse the situation.

"We should really look for some shelter..."

Silently you walk the path down to the outskirts of the city. You approach a large road.

Machines!

Loud stinking metal carts driving by themselves, spewing out fumes, you see apes sitting in those contraptions. You carefully walk along the sidewalk untill you reach a low rundown building with a sign reading "MOTEL - Vacancy" in illuminated letters.

You walk inside. The creature behind the counter is hideous, even by the standarts of these apes. He is short, fat with a hairless head and hairy arms. He looks tired at you.

"Yeah? What can I do fer ya?"

You try to not look disgusted by him.

"Innkeep we need a room!"

He looks at you, then at Cozy.

"Yeah, no. I don´t need shit like that happening in my motel. Not again."

-"What? Oh, no, she is our... daughter."

He looks at you as if he doesn´t really buy it.

"Suuure..."

Then he turns around to the shelve with the keys.

"Whatever. Room for three. That will be 25.- bucks a night."

You slam three green bills with a 100 on it on the counter.

"We take it for several days. And no questions asked."

He looks at the money and rises his eyebrows.

"Yes Ma´am!"

The room is disgusting. The beds looks like they are filled with all sorts of parasites, mold in the bathroom and you are pretty sure there are some bloodstains on the wall.

Tirek claps his hands.

"Well perfect. This will do as a base of operations for the moment!"

You let out a short disgusted snort and take the opportunity to look at yourself a full length mirror. You are indeed a female of these apes. You are tall and skinny with long arms and legs, You skin is quite pale. Your mane is long, black with a greenish shine. You wear what appears to be a dark green suit, like some clerk, with a skirt. Your lower legs are clad in some thin, flimsy fabric which apperantly has the only use of making your legs more shiny. And of course there are those uncomfortable things on your (as Tirek called them) feet. You cant even run in these shoes (again Tirek called them that, He had contact with similar dressed beings before). Annoyed you kick them off.

Then you take a look at the other two.

Tirek is a huge male of those creatures, maybe a silverback? He has a bulky muskular body, fairly dark, almost brown skin, his mane and beard is black with some grey in it. He wears a red shirt with short sleves and some kind of blue tight pantaloons as well as brown leather boots. He stares out of the window onto the road, watching those dreadfull machines passing by, deep in thought.

Then you look at Cozy. She is sitting in an armchair looking bored, she is an (seemingly) infant female, with skinny arms and legs. her skin is fair with a pinkish hint. and red freckles on her arms and face. Her mane is fiery red and she still has those silly curls. She is wearing a sickingly cutesy pink dress and a matching bow in her mane. She wears white socks and black shiny shoes on her feet.

She looks at you.

"So. What are we gonna do now?"

You look at her with some annoyance, you have not forgotten her comment about your hive earlier.

"Well, I will take a shower now, then we sleep. And tomorrow we will begin our quest to crush Celestia!"
