Chapter One
Experimentation

⠀

⠀
Maybe if the spell hadn’t been developed by the great Starswirl the Bearded, Twilight wouldn’t have been so eager. She wasn’t normally one to jump into self-experimentation without thinking it through, after all. But this spell was developed by Starswirl, Twilight’s idol since she was a filly, and Twilight did jump into it.

“You’re sure about this?” Starlight asked her before they could complete the spell.

Twilight smiled. “Well, we have to see how the disenchantment works to base our spell off of it, so we need to cast the enchantment first.”

“I guess, and it’s not like it would work on me.”

That was the other aspect of it. This was to help Starlight, and of the two of them, only Twilight had the right equipment for the spell to work.

“Should probably lose these…” Twilight muttered to herself as she reached under her skirt and pulled off her panties. She was very soon going to not fit them, after all.

Starlight turned away to give Twilight some privacy, not that she minded too much. She was very close with her friends, and they had all seen each other naked at that public bath. Well, except for Starlight herself, who had chosen to wear her underwear into the bath, but still, she had seen Twilight before, so there wasn’t anything to hide from her.

That was the day they had first started talking about this. They’d assured Starlight that none of them cared that she had a dick, but she had been too insecure. It wasn’t like they didn’t understand. Even if Equestria was an accepting place for trans ponies, it didn’t make it easier for Starlight to be stuck with a body part that made her so uncomfortable.

Then Pinkie asked her if she’d be more okay with it if she had a vagina, and Starlight had said yes. And then that had sparked a discussion of whether there was any way for somepony to change their genitalia, and the unfortunate truth that yes there was, but only if somepony wanted to turn their vagina into a penis.

And all of that had led to the decision that Twilight was going to help her best friend get a vagina one way or another. And of course, help many other trans ponies in the process. The two of them were among the most brilliant mares alive when it came to magic. If anyone could do this, it was the two of them.

Which meant Twilight had to grow a dick. For magic, for friendship, for the good of ponies everywhere, Twilight would give herself a dick!

Well, the two of them both would. She and Starlight concentrated on the spell. They sat facing one another and locked hands together, the standard position for dual casting spells. In between them was the magic conduit that they would channel their magic into – a ridiculous phallic statue pointed right at Twilight.

At least she didn’t have to stare at that thing the whole time. Twilight closed her eyes, and she knew Starlight would be doing the same. She focused her magic into her horn and thought only of the spell they were casting together. She could feel the magic well up, and then it left her body. Even with her eyes closed, she could almost see its path as it travelled into the artifact.

And then it shot out of the statue and directly at Twilight, who yelled and fell backwards from the force. A yell from Starlight informed her that she had taken her friend down with her, which was doubly confirmed a moment later when Starlight fell on top of Twilight.

Both mares groaned and Starlight pushed herself off of Twilight. “Sorry about that… I wasn’t expecting –”

Twilight opened her eyes and looked at Starlight, wondering why she had stopped speaking so suddenly. She followed Starlight’s eyes and saw they were pointed at Twilight’s hips, which confused her for a moment. Only a moment, then she realized it was not her hips that Starlight was looking at.

“I’m sorry!” Starlight said suddenly, covering her eyes and she scurried away from Twilight.

Twilight looked down and lifted her skirt. It was bizarre, and there was no other way to put it. Where her vagina used to be, there was a penis now. A fairly sizable one, she was pretty sure, although she didn’t have a lot of experience to go on.

She broke into a grin. “Starlight, look! It worked!” Twilight gently prodded at the dick that hung limply between her legs, noting that her new body part was a bit sore from having just grown out of nothing.

“I, er, see that.” Starlight grinned sheepishly as she looked down at Twilight’s dick. “Well, you sure aren’t shy about it.”

Twilight giggled. “It’s not like it’s really mine. I mean, it is, but it’s just a temporary thing. I was a lot more embarrassed for everyone to see me naked before when it felt like it was really my body.”

“I guess that makes sense.” Apparently emboldened by Twilight’s comment, Starlight got a little closer. “Geez, I’m glad mine isn’t that big. Good thing you won’t have it for long, that thing would be a monster to tuck in.”

Twilight prodded at it some more, then moved the penis out of the way to examine the testicles. Those were even more sore, but from what she understood of her new anatomy, that made sense. “I thought it seemed big. I guess if you’re trying to get a magic penis, you might as well go big.”

“Fair enough.” Starlight looked up at Twilight and smiled wryly. “Cute pubes.”

Twilight dropped her skirt and blushed intensely. That was something she really didn’t need Starlight to notice. “I just like it to be neat down there!”

Starlight laughed. “Hey, it’s okay! I don’t blame you for wanting to trim the bush. Does that mean you’re expecting company though?”

“No!” Twilight frowned and glared through her blush. “Anyway. Let’s look into that disenchantment.”

“Yeah, okay,” Starlight agreed, so they went back to the book they’d gotten the spell from. It was a high level physical augmentation spell book, something that most ponies would never be able to get their hands on. Indeed, even someone as accomplished as Starlight would have had trouble getting access to it without help from her princess friend; most ponies who were allowed to see it had special licenses to perform these spells in a controlled setting.

Twilight flipped ahead past the enchantment. She’d already read that multiple times over, and she had the proof that they’d done it perfectly dangling between her legs.

But then as she turned pages, she found herself looking at a completely different spell. Where was the disenchantment instructions? Spells weren’t like mechanics, she couldn’t just do it in reverse and wind up with a vagina again.

“Starlight…” Twilight said as her heart sunk. “I don’t see a counterspell.”

“What?” Starlight stepped beside her and looked through the book herself. “But there has to be a counterspell! There’s no way an enchantment like this would exist without a disenchantment, right?”

“I don’t know, I didn’t think…” Twilight shook her head and looked down at her skirt, which now sported a sizable bulge. She had not signed up to keep this thing for longer than it took to conduct the counterspell.

“I can’t believe it. Is there a second volume of the book?”

“Even if there is, why would they put the spell and counterspell in different volumes?”

“But that could only mean that… that it’s permanent…” Starlight flipped back to the spell page, looking it over again for something they might have missed. Twilight knew she wouldn’t find anything. “Why would Starswirl make an enchantment like this and not develop a disenchantment?”

Twilight realized why, and not for the first time, she asked herself how someone so smart could be so stupid. “Because he’s Starswirl the Bearded.”

Starlight cocked her head to the side. “Yeah, and?”

“Do you know how he got that nickname? Why out of all his accomplishments, ‘the bearded’ became his title?”

“Well, it is an impressive beard…”

“It’s because he’s a trans pony, and his studies into gender are legendary. He’s the one who discovered how to do hormone replacement spells.”

“Wow.” Starlight shook her head. “I never knew about that… So if he’s a transtallion, then that means he… Oh no…”

Twilight sighed. “He didn’t have a reason to develop a disenchantment, because he didn’t want one.”

“Oh, Twilight, I’m so sorry.” Starlight hugged Twilight close. “This is all because I couldn’t be happy with my own body…”

“No, Starlight.” Twilight forced a smile and patted the back of Starlight’s head. “This is because I didn’t think to look ahead. We were already planning on figuring out how to get a mare a vagina, now we just have twice the incentive.”

Starlight pulled away and nodded. “I promise we’ll figure this out together. We’ll get you back to normal!”

“And you too,” Twilight said. “Well, I mean… you know what I mean.”

Starlight giggled. “Yes, I do. Guess we better get to work then, huh?”

Twilight cast one more glance at the book, then looked down. She could see the outline of her dick through the fabric of her skirt, realized that Starlight must have been able to feel it against her when they hugged. She had to get rid of this thing. “Yeah, I guess we better.”

Author's Note

This is new for me in a lot of ways and I can’t promise I’ll be that great at it, but maybe by the end of this story I’ll be halfway decent? I dunno, we’ll find out as we go I guess!
