Chapter One- So It Begins

Once upon a time in the small town of Ponyville, Twilight Sparkle was preparing to enjoy a lovely lunch with her friends.

The dining room table was set with a fair assortment of vegetables, fruits, and drinks.

Twilight sat a plate a daffodil sandwiches just so on the table a stepped back to admire her work.

Everything was set neatly and the favorite foods of each of her friends remained closest to their assigned seat.

It hadn’t been easy preparing the food and setting the table herself.

Spike and Starlight were away in the Dragonlands trying to help Dragonlord Ember with some friendship problems that were occurring there, so much of the work around the castle fell onto her.

She hoped they’d be back soon.

Suddenly a knock could be heard at the front door to the castle.

Twilight teleported herself from the dining room to the front door before opening it with her magic.

A mail pony stood on the doorstep with a package in hoof.

“Package for Princess Twilight Sparkle.” Said the stallion, bowing in respect.

Twilight blushed.

She wasn’t sure if she’d ever get use to ponies bowing for her.

“Thank you sir.” She said as he handed her the package before giving her a nod and flying off to continue his deliveries.

Twilight closed the door and teleported herself back to the dining room, placing the package on the table before opening it.

Inside was a scroll and sphere that appeared to be made of some kind of glass.

It was perfectly smooth on the outside and easily fit in her hooves.

It almost reminded her of a crystal ball.

She placed the sphere aside before opening the scroll.

“Dear Twilight Sparkle, recently myself and Luna have ordered a full scale inspection of our old castle in the Everfree Forest. While most of the possessions of ours and the castle residents were removed a thousand years ago, you yourself know there is much still there among the rubble.

One such item that has been uncovered thus far is this sphere. Myself and Luna do not recognize it and Starswirl is unsure of exactly what it is either. While ponies here in Canterlot are searching for any mention of it in records and texts, I thought it would be best to send it to you in hopes that you may find out what purpose it serves.

I will let you know if we find anything out here and hope that you will do the same. With much love and appreciation, Princess Celestia.”

Twilight laid the scroll down and picked up the sphere again to inspect it further.

Aside from appearances, she could tell using her magic that the item possessed some kind of magic properties.

The only thing that made sense was to channel her magic into it and see what would happen.

She sat the item on the ground in front of her and concentrated, focusing her magical energy and shot it toward the sphere.

Upon finishing this action, the sphere began to glow a soft purple color, blinking intermittently.

Twilight grabbed the letter from Celestia and flipped it over to make a note of this phenomenon.

As far as she could tell the artifact was activated, but surely it did more than just blink color?

Just as she was finishing making her note she heard the door to the dining room burst open.

Turning to see who it was, Twilight saw her good friend Pinkie Pie bouncing toward her, followed by the rest of her friends not far behind.

“Hi Twilight! We knocked at the door but you didn’t answer so we just let ourselves in. Hope that was ok. Hey! What’s that?” Pinkie Said, grabbing the sphere from Twilight and looking at it intently.

“Pinkie careful! That’s an ancient magical artifact Princess Celestia sent me to investigate.” Said Twilight.

“Whoops. Sorry Twilight.” Said Pinkie as she went and sat the sphere on the table.

It was at the moment the sphere began to also blink a pink color as well. Pink, purple, pink, purple over and over again.

“Now it’s blinking pink also.” Said Twilight as she scribbled down this observation.

As the sphere blinked, Twilight and Pinkie both began to feel slightly light headed.

Not enough for it to be a problem for them, but just enough for it to be noticeable to both ponies.

Before either could say anything about the matter though the feeling passed and so did the colors blinking in the sphere, returning to its natural white shade.

Twilight again made note of this observation. “Very odd. I’ve never seen anything quite like it.” Said Twilight.

“Neither have I darling.” Said Rarity as she picked the sphere up with her magic and looked at it closely before setting it back down. ‘It certainly isn’t a precious stone I’m familiar with.” The sphere then began to glow a white color.

Applejack wondered over and picked the sphere up in her hooves. “It certainly doesn’t look like a tool I’ve seen used for anything.” She said as she placed it back on the table.

Both Applejack and Rarity began to feel a light headedness come over them as the sphere began to flash orange and white before stopping, along with the farm pony and fashionista’s light headedness.

Twilight again took note of the change. “It seems to do something when two ponies hold it but aside from that I can’t figure it out. Do any of you feel different?” Twilight asked Applejack, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie.

All three shook their heads. Finally, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy looked over the sphere. Again it flashed colors of yellow and blue but nothing else seemed to happen. Except for the both of them feeling slightly light headed for a few moments.

“I’ll have to look more into this later. I’m sure I’ll get to the bottom of it eventually. For now though, let’s eat!” Twilight Said as she placed the sphere and the scroll with her observations on it back into the box and sat it next to her seat on the floor.

The six friends chatted as they ate about their going ons in life and how each of the classes they were teaching at the School of Friendship were going.

Before long their hour long lunch was over and each friend went their separate ways to accomplish other tasks they had for the day. Twilight said goodbye to her friends and made a small task of cleaning up. She wanted to get started researching the strange sphere.

Using her magic, she quickly cleaned the table and the dishes in mere moments, making sure the dishes were put back in the kitchen cabinets and chairs were pushed in.

She then grabbed the box and headed for the library, placing the box down on a table before walking off to find a book that might reference the artifact.

Little did she know however that this artifact would hold a secret surprise her and her friends would never see coming.

Chapter Two- A Shiny Apple

Applejack strolled down the country road toward her farm.

Having lunch with her friends was fun, but like always there was work to do on the farm. As she made her way into the yard, she began going over what needed to be done in her head.

She knew that the section of the orchard she agreed to work on today was in the front of the orchard, back the way she came from. She began to head toward the barn to grab a cart and baskets.

Maybe you should freshen up before going out darling.

“Rarity why would I-” Applejack looked behind her but there was nopony there but her.

Who said that? It sounded like Rarity but, Applejack thought to herself. After looking around to see if somepony was tricking her, she shrugged and continued toward the barn.

A mare should always look her best.

I’m not going to the gala, I’m going to tend the orchard.

You’ll be the talk of the town.

No I won’t. ‘Cause I ain’t freshening up.

As the Rarity voice continued through her head, Applejack found her hooves changing direction toward the house, and as her subconscious continued to argue with it, it seemed to become louder and louder.

For the last time I’m not gonna—

Freshen up?

Applejack looked down and realized that she was in her room, plopped down in front of her vanity.

As she looked in the mirror, she began to think that maybe a little make-up wouldn’t hurt. Even though she looked the same as she always did and never minded before.

She began opening drawers and taking out what make up she had. Blush, moisturizer, eyeliner, all things she would typically only put on if she were going to Canterlot or somewhere else fancy.

She set to work, paying extra attention to every brush stroke she made until she was satisfied, smiling to herself as she got up and headed back downstairs and toward the barn again, ready to take on the day now that she looked-

Fantastike!

Yes. That was the word for it.

She strapped the cart to her body and headed out to begin her work. As she began to place buckets around the first tree, she was interrupted once more.

What are we doing out here?

Collecting apples for the farm.

What do we need all these apples for?

Well, pies, jams, pastries, to sell in bushels…

That sounds like a lot of work. Let’s go shopping!

I’m not go’in shopping! There’s work to be done!

But what if you have to meet with elites later?

Why would I be—?

Spending time with the upper class? Why, because they’re interesting darling! We should go out tonight to the business district and see what’s happing! We’re gonna need a new ensemble though!

I don’t need—

To do dirty work? Thought not!

Applejack found herself walking away from the orchard towards town, laying her hat on the cart before making her way down the path.

I’ve never been dress shopping besides at Rarity’s… How do I know where the other boutiques are?

Don’t be silly, we visit them every other week!

Applejack knew she had never been to the blue and pink storefront before, but its fancy sign seemed so familiar, like she’d seen it a thousand times.

Applejack walked through the glass door to the building, and as a bell rang to announce her arrival, she saw a mare from behind the counter walk towards her.

“Can I help you?” The shop pony asked.

Without even thinking, Applejack blurted out, “Why yes dear. I simply must find a new dress for my night out on the town.”

“Not a problem. Head over to the mirror and I’ll bring over some that will match your colors.” Said the store pony as she headed to the back room.

Applejack again found her hooves marching toward the pedestal in front of her, despite her trying to go the opposite way. She also noticed that her walk had changed. Before she would carry herself with confidence with her chest first. Now though as she walked she noticed her body taking such care as she made each step like a model, and her hips swayed side to side seductively as if to try and catch a stallion’s attention.

Applejack began to freak out.

What’s happening to me? Why am I acting like Rarity? This isn’t who I am. This probably has something to do with that sphere I handled at Twilight’s! I have to go and get Twilight’s help!

Despite her repeated attempts to try run out of the store, her body just wouldn’t listen, taking its spot right on top of the pedestal.

Come now darling! Why be dirty and sweaty, when we could be like Rarity?

I don’t think I should—

Think? What’s to think about? I’m thinking we should just be like Rarity. All those memories will settle into place before Twilight can get them out anyway.

I don’t think I should be—

Applejack? You’re right; we tried that for a while, and all we got was messy. Why not just let go? Why not just—

Be like Rarity?

Yes! Just be like Rarity. Just be like Rarity. Be just like Rarity. Be just like Rarity. Be like Rarity. Be like Rarity. Be Rarity. Be Rarity. Be Rarity. Be Rarity.

Just then the store pony returned with a rack full of dresses. “Here we go hun. Plenty to choose from. Let me help you get this on.” She said as she made her way toward Applejack with a white form fitting dress.

Applejack screamed in her mind, trying to get her body to run, but instead it simply held up its fore hooves and stepped into the dress with ease.

As the store pony zipped up the back for her Applejack’s mind became completely changed.

Gone was the hardworking farm pony everyone in Ponyville knew. All her knowledge of farming was replaced with knowledge of garments and lifestyle. Looking amazing was now one of her top priorities. Other than being honest with her friends when they needed her to be.

Her body also began to change. Years worth of toned muscle throughout her body from apple bucking began to slim down in other places and gain fat in others. Her stomach became petite while her butt, thighs, and even her breasts began to gain a healthy amount of fat. Reflecting a pony that had spent years doing specific diets and exercise to have a body the stallions wanted a piece of and the mares all wished they could have.

Her mane and tail were next. Gone was the carefree straight hair that ended in tails. A curly mane and tail that looked like an artist had crafted it took its place.

Then came her eyelashes. Thick false eyelashes appeared to accentuate her beautiful eyes.

Lastly were her country girl freckles, disappearing to reflect her flawless skin and coat.

“What do you think?” asked the store pony who was unaware of the changes. As far as she remembered the pony before her came in like this.

Be Rarity …

“Be…Rarity…” She whispered softly to herself.

And when she opened her eyes that’s who was; Apple Jewel. Who she’d always been.

“Oh it’s simply divine!” Said Apple Jewel as she gave a little spine.

She loved how the dress showed off her gorgeous figure.

She’d certainly bag a stallion tonight in this.

Her voice was now noticeably different, lacking a southern draw that was replaced with a voice of elegance and class.

Apple Jewel tried on and purchased a few dresses, shoes, and even some lingerie before fetching the bits from her designer saddle bag that laid by the door.

She bid the store pony farewell before departing the store and making her way across town to browse other establishments.

She could feel the eyes of every pony staring at her as she strutted down the street. She relished in the attention.

It wasn’t long before she made her way to the end of the street and toward her own store.

Carousel Boutique. It was here that she designed and made designer clothes for all the big names in Equestria and managed the finances and business end of the her family’s farm.

She wished she could see them more often, but a filly has to keep moving to stay ahead!

She made her way to the door, giving a final sway to her hips as she stepped inside, the door closing behind her.

Chapter Three- Dashing into Shape

Fluttershy made her way toward her home on the outskirts of Ponyville.

Now that she had her lunch, it was going to be time to feed all the animals under her care.

She opened the door to her cottage and greeted her pet bunny angel before starting on making the days meals.

Angel’s of course was first as he would not leave her alone until he had it. She quickly fixed up his garden salad and he ran off to eat it alone as usual.

Now she could move on to the other animals.

Time to go for a fly!

“Aaaahhhh!” Fluttershy screamed, ducking down and covering her face with her wings. “Rainbow Dash! I thought you agreed to stop sneaking up-”

She uncovered her face expecting to see Rainbow Dash standing before her but her kitchen was entirely empty.

“Rainbow Dash! You better not be trying to scare me again!” She said as she opened some of her cabinets to try and spot the blue pegasus.

After spending a few minutes though with no success at finding Rainbow or anypony else, she turned back to preparing the food, believing she must have imagined it.

Come on! It’s time to get some exercise!

No it’s not. It’s time to feed the animals.

Oh please they’ll be fine. It’s not like all the food they need isn’t already out in nature for them.

Well yes, but-

That’s what I thought! Now come on! You’ve been slacking for too long!

Fluttershy looked down at her body. She had never been the fittest or skinniest of her friends.

Given her mostly relaxed lifestyle and only leaving her home for supplies or to see her friends, she had a figure that could best be described as chubby.

Her tummy stuck out a bit more than most ponies, her butt was a bit wider, and her breasts were generous to say the least.

Although that may have to do with her supplying milk to the baby animals who needed it for nourishment. Even still though, she wasn’t nearly as big as Pinkie Pie.

Well, maybe a quick jog wouldn’t hurt-

That’s the spirit! Let’s go!

Fluttershy walked toward the door to her cottage and went outside. As she was about to begin her run however, the Rainbow like voice in her head stopped her.

What do you think you’re doing?

Oh, um, going for a jog like you said.

You can’t just go for a jog! You gotta stretch first!

But I don’t know any stretches!

What are you talking about! You’re doing them right now!

Fluttershy looked down at her body and realized she was in fact stretching, bending her limbs this way and that in a way that made her look like an experienced athlete.

Even though she had never learned these stretches before.

Aw yeah! That’s what I’m talking about! Now let’s getting moving wide load!

Fluttershy took off and began her jog. Not too fast, but just enough to get her heart rate up.

Faster!

Fluttershy increased her pace.

Faster!

Fluttershy increased her pace again.

FASTER!

Fluttershy was now in a full on gallop, tearing down the road at a break neck speed.

Usually she would only be running if it was away from danger, but this felt invigorating!

She continued her run until she was in the town square in Ponyville, stopping at the water fountain to hydrate herself and cool down.

Once she had relaxed a little, she turned back toward the direction of home.

Where do you think you’re going?

Home. I still need to check up on the animals.

That’s not cool. Let’s go to the gym instead.

But I just ran two miles! Isn’t that enough?

Heck no! We’ve gotta work out your other muscles!

Fluttershy found herself walking off the path toward home, heading instead for a building a few blocks away with a large dumbbell on top.

I’ve never been here before! How do I know where it is?

Are you kidding? This is our favorite place to work out!

As Fluttershy walked through the door to the gym, she was greeted by a busy environment full of ponies all doing a variety of exercises, from wing ups, pushups, lifting weights, swimming, jogging, and so much more.

There was even an obstacle course designed specifically for pegasi in the back.

A pony from behind a desk walked over to her.

“Hi welcome to the Ponyville Gym, the place to lose weight until late. I’m slingshot. Looks like it’s your first time here. Let me hook you up with one of our welcome bags. It has a couple of things to help you get started. Let me know if you have any questions.” Said the pony as she gave Fluttershy her sales pitch and free bag before heading back toward the counter.

Fluttershy again found her hooves moving foward without her telling them to. This time toward the gym’s locker room.

What’s happening to me? I don’t wanna be here! I wanna be home with my animal friends! I need to find Twilight and fix this!

Fluttershy tried her hardest to turn around, to run and never look back, but her body continued to ignore her, entering the locker room and taking a seat on a bench before rummaging through the bag.

Come on! Why be a reserved nobody when you can be awesome like Rainbow Dash?

But I don’t think that’s—

Think? What’s to think about? I’m thinking we should just be like Rainbow Dash. Besides you’ll never reach Twilight in time to reverse this.

I don’t think I should be—

Fluttershy? You’re right; we tried that and all it ever got us was scared. Why not forget? Why not let yourself—

Be like Rainbow Dash?

Yes! Just be like Rainbow Dash. Just be like Rainbow Dash. Be just like Rainbow Dash. Be just like Rainbow Dash. Be like Rainbow Dash. Be like Rainbow Dash. Be Rainbow Dash. Be Rainbow Dash. Be Rainbow Dash. Be Rainbow Dash.

The whole time the Rainbow Dash voice was arguing with her, Fluttershy failed to notice her body pulling out random things from the bag.

A pair of spandex gym shorts, a sports bra, and sweat bands were laid out on the bench.

Had anypony bothered to pay attention, they would’ve noticed the bra and shorts seemed to be for a pony a couple sizes smaller then her.

As she began to pull the shorts up her legs and onto her butt, her mind began to change.

All her knowledge of nature and animal care was swapped with the knowledge of sports, dieting, and exercise.

Keeping in top shape in order to be in the Wonderbolts was her top priority.

That and being kind toward any creature that asked for her help workout wise.

Her body also began to change.

Her chubby body began to slim down all over.

Her stomach became as flat as a board while her butt, thighs, and breasts also lost their mass and became toned with muscle.

Her breasts were the most noticeable change, going from the size of melons to barely noticeable at all.

Her body now showed a pony that dieted and exercised to achieve a body that was completely stream line.

Had anypony simply glanced at her, they may have even confused her for a stallion.

Her mane and tail changed as she slid the sports bra over her head and on to her chest.

Gone was her long and feminine mane and tail that she would often hide in.

Her mane and tail shortened to a length most mares would describe as tomboyish, but what she would describe as helpful when she was flying at high speeds.

Lastly came her eyelashes.

The mascara she put on her lashes every morning to help accentuate her big caring eyes vanished, giving way to eyes that always burned with the fire of determination to win.

As she pulled the last sweat band over her head, she heard the voice in her head repeat one last time;

Be Rainbow Dash …

“Be…Rainbow Dash…” She whispered softly to herself.

And when she opened her eyes that’s who was; Flutter Dash. Who she’d always been.

She stopped to admire herself in the locker room mirror on her way to the workout area.

“Aw yeah do I look awesome!” She said as she flexed her biceps in the mirror. “I’m so getting the head flying role at the next Wonderbolt performance.”

Her voice was now noticeably different, a confident and slightly cocky tone now came from her mouth where a quiet and reserved voice once bellowed.

Flutter Dash spent hours at the gym, working over every muscle group excessively until she completed what she believed to be her daily workout regimen, even though she had never done it before.

She made her way back to the locker room and showered, rinsing the sweat off her rock hard muscles.

She the dried herself and put her gym cloths back in her gym bag before leaving the gym and flying off toward her cloud home.

She couldn’t wait to get home and tell Tank about her day and knock out another chapter of her new Daring Do book.

Sometimes it’s hard being this awesome

She laughed at her joke as she continued to speed off toward home.

Chapter Four- Partying by the Book

Pinkie Pie was bouncing along through Ponyville, waving to everypony she passed.

She had such a fun time with her friends, but now it was time to get serious.

There were parties to plan after all!

She entered Sugarcube Corner and waved to the cakes as she entered her room and slide down the hidden slide to her party cave, taking a seat in her gumdrop beanbag chair and looking at the party files laid out on her desk.

Silver Spoon’s birthday was coming up next, so she decided to start there.

As she was looking through the file to see what color napkins she should order, a voice spoke to her.

Wouldn’t doing research help to best plan a party for a filly of the elite?

Pinkie Pie laughed. “Twilight that may work for you, but you know my method of befriending everypony and getting to know them is the best way to-”

Pinkie Pie looked back expecting to see her friend Twilight Sparkle standing behind her, but her only present company in her cave was her variety of party supplies.

“Twilight? Hello! Are you hiding from me? If you wanted to play hide and seek, you just should’ve said so.” She called out as she peeked in her drawers, looked through the balloons on her ceiling, and even glanced under her desk for any sign of the purple alicorn, but came up empty hoof.

She giggled to herself. “Silly brain. Are you playing tricks on me again?” She said as she patted her head with her hoof.

Usually she didn’t see things unless she ate more than three full size cakes in a two hour period.

She settled down at her desk once more and began looking at Silver Spoon’s file again only for the voice to speak to her once more.

There’s bound to be books about high class tradition at the library…

Well of course there is silly, but I have enough about Silver Spoon right here to plan her party.

But don’t you want to be sure? You want her party to be perfect right?

Well yeah, but I still don’t think-

Nonsense! The library will have all the answers we need!

Pinkie found her body getting up on its own, trotting back up the slide and stepping outside to the streets of Ponyville.

Pinkie tried to will herself to turn back around. She even tried to wave to all her pony friends she passed, but her body simply kept moving, heading back to Twilight’s castle.

Since Tirek had destroyed the Ponyville Public Library, the question of what to do to replace it had been dragging through the local town hall meetings at a snail’s pace.

Some ponies wanted the library resurrected as it once was, some thought it should be made smaller to make room for other businesses, and others thought it should be made even bigger.

It had gotten to the point where the mayor, Twilight, and the school teacher Cheerilee had come to a temporary agreement.

If a school filly or colt needed a book, they could check it out from the school house library, with requests from neighboring schools in Equestria able to supply a book if it wasn’t in Ponyville.

If a full grown pony needed a book, they could submit a letter to Twilight and she could supply it from her own library, or request the book from a library in a neighboring town.

Twilight herself had offered to assist with helping to fund the new library’s construction, but until a vote could be cast on what the direction of the new library would be, Twilight had her old duties as librarian added to her Princess responsibilities to handle.

Along her forced trip to Twilight’s castle, Pinkie tried to get through to the voice in her head to stop, but it was no use.

Ok brain this isn’t funny anymore! I don’t want to go to the library!

Don’t be silly! Reading is so much fun! Think of how much you can learn.

I already know everything about parties! I’m the best party planner in Ponyville!

Oh? What about Cheese Sandwich? He certainly seemed better then you. Probably because he’s read plenty of books on party subjects.

Wha- Bu- I-, ok first off, I inspired him to be a party pony! Plus we threw Rainbow’s party together and she loved it! Why do you think you can judge my party-

Ah we’re here! Perfect!

Pinkie took notice of her surroundings.

In the entire time she had been arguing with the Twilight voice in her head, she had traveled all the way through town and through the outskirts of Ponyville to Twilight’s castle.

She had even made it through the castle halls and opened the door to the library.

See? Look at all the wonderful books! Have you ever seen anything so amazing in your whole life?

Uh, yeah I have.

Pinkie thought with an annoyed tone.

She liked to read every now and again, but mainly found it boring.

There were so many fun things to do with friends besides burying your head in a book.

You know, Twilight probably wouldn’t like somepony touching her books without asking, we should go and find her first and ask.

Nonsense. We spend all of our time here and she never says a word.

We do?

Pinkie’s head began to feel all fuzzy, like a bottle of cider.

Vague memories of her spending late nights reading seemed to appear in her head ever so faint.

Pinkie’s body wandered the library finding books on the shelf and placing them on her back before moving on to find more.

Had Pinkie been able to notice, she would’ve found the books her body was grabbing had nothing to do with parties, instead covering a variety of subjects such as alchemy, science, legends, and even Equestria history.

Once her body was satisfied, it made its way over to a comfy looking couch where a blanket that depicted the night sky lay folded, just waiting to keep somepony cozy during a good book.

What’s going on? Why am I acting like Twilight? I need to find her and ask her for help!

Pinkie Pie tried to scream, she tried to get her body to obey her, but it continued to ignore her, placing the books on an end table before taking a seat on the couch.

Now it’s only logical! Why act crazy and party when we can be smart like Twilight?

But I don’t think that’s—

Think? What’s to think about? I’m thinking we should just be like Twilight. Besides you’ll never be able to get Twilight to hear you in such a big castle.

I don’t think I should be—

Pinkie Pie? You’re right; we tried that and all it ever got us was laughed at. Why not forget? Why not let yourself—

Be like Twilight?

Yes! Just be like Twilight. Just be like Twilight. Be just like Twilight. Be just like Twilight. Be like Twilight. Be like Twilight. Be Twilight. Be Twilight. Be Twilight. Be Twilight.

As the Twilight voice was arguing with her, Pinkie’s body reached for and grabbed the blanket that laid next to her.

As she began to wrap herself up in it, her mind began to alter itself.

All her memories of partying were replaced with the amount of knowledge that would make an encyclopedia jealous.

Learning and being organized were what was most important to her.

Well that and making her friends laugh when they needed it with her endless assortment of jokes she’d memorized.

Her body wasn’t immune to her transformation either.

A lifetime of sweets and sugar had given her a body that could best be described as chunky.

She wasn’t fat in an unhealthy sense, but she certainly had one of the roundest tummies in town with a pair of breasts and thighs to match.

This wouldn’t be for much longer though, as her curvy body began to slim down all over.

Her stomach lost inch after inch in seconds, her butt, thighs, and breasts also lost their generous amount of chunk and became slim and thin.

Her breasts changed the most however, going from the size of small watermelons to the size of peaches.

Her body radiated a pony that kept a regimen of proper diet and exercise to maintain a body that any doctor would describe as perfectly healthy.

Her mane and tail were the last to go.

Her poofy mane and tail became flat and straightened.

A solid yellow highlight appeared to give her hair a bit of style while remaining uniform and proper.

As she finished making herself cozy, she could hear the voice speaking to her, finishing it’s work;

Be Twilight …

“Be…Twilight…” She whispered softly to herself.

And when she opened her eyes that’s who was; Pinkie Perfect. Who she’d always been.

She flipped forward in the book to where she had left off last.

“Chapter 54, The Formation of Equestrian Government. Eeee! So exciting!” She said to herself as she read for hour after hour until the sun was beginning to set.

Her voice now sounded astute and fine, lacking much of the excitement and wonder she once held.

She got up off the couch after much reading and made her way to her desk which had appeared only a few hours ago, but to Pinkie had been there for years.

She was the town librarian and planner after all!

She had gotten so much done in this very spot.

She was so glad the Princess allowed her to work in her castle and perform this duty for the citizens of Ponyville.

She had even allowed her to keep a bed in the room opposite the library for when she spent late nights reading and didn’t want to go home to Sugarcube Corner, which was quite often.

She finished up her duties in a flash, checking to see what books were due and sending notices, putting returned books back, and tiding up a bit before heading back to her book.

She couldn’t wait to finish the chapter on how the Equestrian tax system was devised!

Chapter Five- A Diamond in the Rough

Rarity strutted down the streets of Ponyville, occasionally winking at a ripped stallion along the way.

She had such a divine time having lunch with her friends, but now it was time to get back to work.

She entered the door of her home and quickly made her way back to her work room, taking a seat in her gorgeous leather office chair and grabbing the next order to be completed on her desk.

This commission was for a young Canterlot mare that was set to be married in a few months.

The dress called for lots of sapphires and gold accents that would make the bride shine as she walked down the aisle to her new husband.

Rarity smiled warmly at the thought. Making wedding dresses was one of her favorite projects to complete ever since she had made Princess Cadance’s dress just a few years ago.

As she was beginning to calculate how many sapphires she was going to need to complete the dress, she heard a familiar voice.

Why don’t you head through town and help some ponies?

“Applejack darling? I didn’t hear you come…” Rarity turned toward the door expecting to see the orange farm pony but instead found silence only greeted her.

“Applejack? Are you there?” She said thinking maybe Applejack just hadn’t finished making her way back to her yet.

Once again though she found nopony replying to her question.

She shrugged and thought she must have been hearing things, putting her attention back on the task at hoof.

Think of how great it will feel and how happy it will make everypony to help out.

I’m doing that right now. This client is counting on me to make her wedding dress.

Aw that can wait. There are plenty of ponies that could use our help right now!

Well I suppose so but-

That’s right! Now let’s go out there and get to it!

Rarity found herself getting up from her desk and walking right back outside where she had come barely twenty minutes ago, heading right for the market section of Ponyville.

Her body was walking with such a sense of urgency to it, like it was on a mission from Princess Celestia herself.

First she ended up at Burnt Oak’s stall, where he seemed to be struggling to unload his wagon of wood to sell.

“Let me help you out there partner!” Rarity blurted out as she made her way over to the wagon.

Ok fine I’ll help Burnt Oak. A bit of magic will get this job done quickly anyway.

Nonsense! That’s taking the easy way. We’re using our hooves!

WHAT?!?!?

Rarity screamed in horror as her body gathered the logs in her manicured hooves and placed them on her well groomed coat before taking them over to Burnt Oak’s stand dropping them neatly in a pile.

She then made her way back to the cart for another load.

Burnt Oak seemed to give her an odd look upon seeing the unicorn not use her horn to complete the task but shrugged.

Any kind of help was appreciated in his old age.

Soon the logs were unloaded and Rarity was left with cracked hooves and a coat covered in tree sap and bark dust.

Burnt Oak thanked her for her help and off her body went again.

Good. We helped somepony. Now can we go home so I can clean up the dirt you’ve put all over my body?!?!

That’s stinking thinking. There are plenty of other ponies that could use a helping hoof.

You cannot possibly be serious!

But the voice in her head was, making the rounds throughout the whole market.

Rarity helped the flower ponies sweep up flower trimmings, again opting to use her mouth instead of her horn to sweep.

She helped Grand Pear unload crates of pear jam, and so many other ponies with their unloading, loading up, and cleaning up.

By the time she had made her way back to the front of the market, her coat was matted and covered in all matters of mess, her mane and tail had things stuck in it and had split ends, and her body was sweaty from all the manual labor.

I can’t believe you made me do all that! And without use of my magic no less!

But didn’t it feel good helping everypony and seeing their smiling faces?

Rarity thought back on her past few hours of work.

It was nice helping out and getting to know everypony better.

She felt a sense of pride at the work she accomplished.

Her body seemed to be heading back home too, so everything seemed to be going well now.

Had she been more attentive however she would’ve noticed she wasn’t steering her body toward home herself, nor was she walking with her usual strut and sway, once again just trotting along like any other common pony.

It wasn’t until her body passed right by Carousel Boutique that she realized the Applejack like voice was still controlling her.

Where are we going now!?! We helped everypony in town! I need to get back to work and get cleaned up!

Of course we are you silly filly. We’re heading back to the farm now to get started.

The Apple family farm? What are you talking out! I don’t work there!

Of course you do sugar cube. We come here every day and tend to the orchard.

Her body continued its way out of town, down the path to Applejack’s farm.

Rarity was beginning to get very worried now.

She first thought maybe this was her conscious or some form of Equestrian magic telling her to do some good in the world, but this was getting a bit out of control.

Her body stopped when it found a wagon parked off to the side of the road, with buckets placed under a apple tree nearby just waiting to be bucked.

What is happening to me?

Why am I acting like Applejack?

Could this have something to do with that sphere she and her friends looked at back at Twilight’s castle?

She had to find her and ask her to fix her!

Rarity begged to the voice, trying to get it to relinquish its power over her while trying to get her hooves to turn back toward town, but it was no use.

The voice was already rearing her hind hooves and bucking the first tree, sending apples falling toward the ground with strength she never knew she possessed.

Come on now! Why act like a pretty priss when we can be tough and helpful like Applejack?

But I don’t think that’s—

Think? What’s to think about? I’m thinking we should just be like Applejack. Besides, you’ll never make it to Twilight’s in time for her to fix you.

I don’t think I should be—

Rarity? You’re right; we tried that and all it ever got us was a few flattering looks. Why not forget? Why not let yourself—

Be like Applejack?

Yes! Just be like Applejack. Just be like Applejack. Be just like Applejack. Be just like Applejack. Be like Applejack. Be like Applejack. Be Applejack. Be Applejack. Be Applejack. Be Applejack.

As the voice spoke to her, Rarity’s body reached for and grabbed the tan leather Stetson hat that laid on the cart and placed it on her head.

As it settled on her head, her fragile mind shattered and began to rebuild itself.

All her memories of grooming herself, dieting, fashion, and trends left her to be replaced with the knowledge of growing and harvesting apples.

Working hard for her employers, the Apple family, and any other ponies she helped matter most to her.

That and being generous with her time to help her friends and fellow town ponies.

Her perfect body also began to fade in place of a new one.

One look at her body would have left anypony who gazed upon it either infatuated or jealous of how she managed to look so good.

This was not to last however as changes began to rock her body.

Her stomach which had been thin and petite began to firm up and harden, showing a vague six pack under her coat.

Her breasts which had been the perfect size to be considered generous but not giant shrank from a tasteful double D cup to barely a single B cup.

Her butt and thighs weren’t spared either from the changes.

Her luscious plot and thighs slimmed down and became tight and firm, with the toned muscle beneath her skin practically bulging underneath it.

Her body reflected that of an experienced farm pony, her chiseled physic only match by the faint scent of apples and sweat that never seemed to stop clinging to her.

Her mane and tail changed as well, her perfectly styled hairdo straightened, two red hair ties appearing and tying themselves just above the end of her dual pony tails on the side of her head and the end of her tail.

She also gained bangs which were swept to whatever side her mood suited her.

Her thick false eyelashes vanished, leaving her lashes as natural as they’d been since the day she was born.

Freckles appeared on both her cheeks replacing her flawless skin with that of a pony that spent all her time in the sun.

As the changes finished adjusting her body to her new life, the voice spoke out once more;

Be Applejack …

“Be…Applejack…” She whispered softly to herself.

And when she opened her eyes that’s who was; Raritini. Who she’d always been.

She gathered the full baskets of apples and placed them in the cart before grabbing more empty baskets to buck apples into.

As she got about seventeen trees in, she took off her hat and whiped her brow of the generous amount of sweat that had gathered there.

“Woo-eee! It sure is a hot one today. Can’t wait to finish up and wet my whistle with a generous glass of cider.” She said in an accent only a country mare like her possessed.

Her elegant way of speaking before now seeming so silly to her simple mind.

She looked at her hat before she placed it back on her head.

Bright Mac had given it to her on her first day of work on the farm.

She struggled at first to find where she belonged, being a unicorn that barely used her horn for much other then menial tasks.

She just liked using her hooves more.

She was so happy to have been welcomed into the apple family not long after she started working there a few years ago.

They allowed her to live on their farm rent free and paid her well for her hard work she provided and took pride in.

She loved ending the day with dirt on her hooves. It was the sign of a job well done after all.

She often missed him and Pear Butter. They treated her like their own daughters.

She sniffled in remembrance before getting back to work.

Before long the work was done and she strapped the cart to her back and headed back to the barn.

She left the cart inside and went to get washed up for dinner, passing Big Macintosh and Apple Bloom as she headed toward the farm house.

Part of her wished she had tried to get Big Mac’s attention before he meet Sugar Belle.

He was such a charming and strong pony. Who was she kidding though?

She loved work more and was glad he was happy.

She trotted on inside to the farm house, letting the screen door slam behind her. Life was good.

Chapter Six- Shying Away

Rainbow Dash soared through the sky, feeling the wind course over her body like an airship.

Now that she had lunch with her friends, it was time to head to the Wonderbolt Academy gym to train.

She opened the door to the gym and went inside, finding the gym empty.

This wasn’t too big a surprise however. Most bolts only spent their weekends on the base when they were required to be.

Rainbow liked having the gym to herself. Just meant she didn’t have to wait to hop onto the next station to complete her workout.

She walked into the locker room and made her way to her locker, opening it to grab her official training suit.

It resembled what she wore in the air shows, but this one was spandex instead of cloth, designed to help a wonderbolt work up a sweat.

She pulled the suit on and zipped it up tight, the suit wrapping itself tight around her every limb.

She posed in the mirror as she made her way out to the gym floor; she loved how good she looked in her uniform.

She was about to hop onto the treadmill to complete her five mile run when a voice spoke out to her.

Um, wouldn’t you rather be spending time with some cute critters?

Fluttershy?

Rainbow looked around the gym, darting her head in all directions.

She could have sworn she heard Fluttershy speaking to her, but the only pony in the gym was her.

Shrugging, she stepped on the treadmill and started warming up.

She started out at a casual jog then turned the speed up to max to really get her heart rate up.

Wouldn’t being outside in nature be so much more fun?

Maybe? But now it’s time to train.

But spending time with animals is better.

Maybe sometimes, but training is fun too! Not to mention necessary.

Can’t we take a break? You seem awfully tired.

What’re you talking about? I just started…

Rainbow Dash suddenly found the treadmill getting away from her.

She was panting wildly and began to panic as her legs gave out, causing her to fall onto the belt of the machine which sent her flying backwards onto the floor in a heap.

“Ugh, my aching head.” Said Rainbow Dash as she rubbed her temple. She couldn’t believe she just did that.

Oh my. You better take it easy for the rest of the day.

Rainbow sighed. Maybe she should skip training today. One day wouldn’t hurt.

Plus she really wasn’t in the mood after failing that hard at her relatively simple run.

She headed back to the locker room; shoulders noticeably slumped as she threw off her uniform, put it in her locker, and headed out the door of the gym and into the sky.

She was so busy feeling disappointed in herself that she didn’t notice her body had changed direction in flight.

Rather than heading towards her cloud home, she was now headed back toward the ground, past the outskirts of Ponyville and approaching Fluttershy’s cottage.

She didn’t even notice where she was until she had opened the door and stepped inside the house.

What the… why are we at Fluttershy’s?

To check on the animals silly! Don’t you remember?

I never agreed to that!

Rainbow found her body moving forward toward the kitchen, finding a book resting on the counter that contained all the meal specifications for the animals under Fluttershy’s care.

Her body quickly set to work despite her protests on filling bowls with a variety of plants, seeds, and proteins, before taking them outside one by one to the waiting creatures.

Wait, how did I know where the food was?

Don’t be silly! We feed them every day!

Rainbow knew this wasn’t true. She kept hoping at any moment Fluttershy or somepony else would turn up to help her, or to tell her this was all some kind of prank, but no such luck came.

Her body marched back inside to the kitchen with the now empty bowls and cleaned each one before returning them to their rightful place in the cupboard.

Good. Now all the animals are fed. Can we just go home now so I can sulk in my disappointment?

Oh every creature hasn’t been fed just yet.

Rainbow was puzzled. They had gone through every entry in the book! What else was there?

Her body made its way up the stairs to Fluttershy’s room, taking a seat in a comfy armchair before grabbing a book that laid on the table beside it labeled, “Orphan Animal Nourishment Intake”.

Upon opening the book, there were only a few entries; a fawn, a wolf pup, and a calf.

Old entries had been crossed out before them, likely because they had been released into the wild.

Next to each animal was a label of how many ounces of milk to give each animal, as well as special feeding instructions.

I don’t get it. Why does Fluttershy keep this book here and not in the kitchen? Did she leave it up here by mistake?

Oh Rainbow. The book is up here because the milk is pumped up here! You know that.

Pumped?

Rainbow’s hoof reached down on the other side of the chair and pulled a knit cover off a machine lying next to it.

The machine was a small box with two tubes coming out of it that connected to two bottles with caps that looked like horns on top.

Rainbow immediately realized what this machine was for, and what her body intended to do with it.

Nope. No way. I’m not using that. You can’t make me.

Rainbow tried to will her body to get up.

To run away and find somepony that could help fix this mess.

This had to have something to do with that sphere Twilight showed her.

It must have messed with her head! She was acting just like Fluttershy!

Now now don’t be nervous. Why should we act like a showoff when we can be kind and make the world a better place like Fluttershy?

But I don’t think that’s—

Think? What’s to think about? I’m thinking we should just be like Fluttershy. Besides, the baby animals need you.

I don’t think I should be—

Rainbow? You’re right; we tried that and all it ever got us was too much attention. Why not forget? Why not let yourself—

Be like Fluttershy?

Yes! Just be like Fluttershy. Just be like Fluttershy. Be just like Fluttershy. Be just like Fluttershy. Be like Fluttershy. Be like Fluttershy. Be Fluttershy. Be Fluttershy. Be Fluttershy. Be Fluttershy.

As the voice spoke to Rainbow Dash, she didn’t even notice her hooves reaching down and grabbing the two bottles, placing the cups against both her nipples just below her tummy.

As her body flipped the switch of the machine on, everything Rainbow Dash ever knew began to change.

The memories she had of winning races, playing sports, and learning how to be a trained athlete left her brain, replacing them with memories of animal care and first aid.

Caring for and showing love to every living creature was what she lived for.

That and always being there for her friends when they really needed her.

Her thin and streamline body also began to go through changes.

Rainbow had prided herself on maintaining a work out and diet regimen from a young age that rewarded her with a body that was strong, yet streamline.

The new reality taking hold though was much different.

Her stomach, which had been flat as a sheet of paper, started to puff out slightly, giving her just a bit of tummy roll.

Her scrawny plot and thighs also began to inflate with fat, gaining a bit of chub in her thighs but a generous amount more in her trunk, giving her a butt that would gain the appreciation of many stallions.

Her breasts were by far the greatest change. She had been teased in school for her barely existent A cup breasts, but had grown to like them for not getting in the way of her exercise.

Now though her boobs began to swell like water balloons, passing cup after cup size until they finally halted at a firm G cup.

Gazing at her left no doubt she was a pony with a caring demeanor, one that was innocent and gentle toward all living things.

Her mane and tail changed as well, her short tomboyish mane growing like a weed into a flowing mane and a tail to match that looked soft enough to snuggle in.

Her eyelashes, which had been natural moments ago, now sported slightly thicker falsies, just enough to showcase her cute face, but not enough to suggest she was looking for attention.

Lastly her face, chest, and fore hooves each gained a little bit of fat as well to reflect her slightly carefree and easy going nature.

As the changes finally came to an end, the voice spoke softly for one last time;

Be Fluttershy …

“Be… Fluttershy …” She whispered softly to herself.

And when she opened her eyes that’s who was; Rainbow Shy. Who she’d always been.

She let out a sigh of relief as the machine worked its magic, extracting the nourishing milk from her breasts.

With caring for baby animals so frequently that had lost mothers, she had a need for milk to help care for them.

Cow milk that ponies drank was too processed for them however, so she had begun taking supplements from early adulthood to produce her own milk naturally.

It had been a hard adjustment at first. Her larger assets were hardly something she could hide.

When her friends and family inquired about how they had gained so much bulk, she simply replied that it must have been a growth spurt.

Her mother’s were nearly the same size as hers so everypony simply accepted this as the likely explanation.

She liked to pretend sometimes that it was a foal drinking straight from her teats.

She loved the idea of being a mommy, given her caring nature.

Maybe she’d volunteer at the local hospital to be a milk maid. Not like she couldn’t make more.

She chuckled a little as she turned the machine off, carefully removing that cups from her breasts and the bottles from the machine.

She measured and screwed nipples onto three baby bottles before taking her nursing supplement and heading downstairs and out the door to the back.

Every since she was bullied by other ponies in flight school she had been reserved and quiet.

She found it much easier to talk to animals and shower them with all the love and attention she was never given.

Thankfully with the help of her friends she had gotten better at being assertive in recent years.

She soon made her way to her barn out back and opened the door, stepping inside to feed the hungry babies their milk.

Everything seemed like it was going to be just fine.

She smiled to herself, closing the door behind her softly.

Chapter Seven- A Twinkle of Pink

Twilight looked through the books on her shelf, trying to figure out which books might hold the answer to the spheres use.

She had a nice lunch with her friends, but now it was time to get cracking!

She had just grabbed a book off the shelf when a surprise voice startled her.

This is so boring! Let’s throw a party instead!

“Bwah!” Twilight screamed dropping the book she had just grabbed.

“Pinkie Pie? I thought you left with the others!” Twilight said, looking down at the floor below her expecting to see Pinkie Pie standing there.

The library was currently empty however, Twilight being the only book horse there.

She shrugged and flew down to the ground, picking up the book and making her way over to the table in the center of the room to begin her research.

Just as she began to skim the first page, the voice spoke to her once more.

What’re we reading this old book for?

To figure out what the sphere does! Princess Celestia is counting on me!

This is soooo boring though! We should be making ponies smile!

Now’s not the time! We’re supposed to be-

Planning a party? Great idea!

Twilight found her body walking toward the door to the library, despite her not telling it to!

She tried to resist and turn her body back toward the table she was just in front of, but it was no use.

This had to have something to do with that sphere!

At least she still had hold of the book with her magic. Maybe she could find the answer on how to fix this!

But just as Twilight made this realization her magical hold on the book was lost as well, her magic levitating the book and depositing it in a basket next to a desk by the door marked “Returns”.

Twilight groaned inside her subconscious. It seemed for the time being, she had to go where her body wanted to.

Her body made its way through the castle halls and out the front door, making its way toward town.

This would have been a pretty usual spectacle for every creature in Ponyville, but Twilight’s body had decided to hop its way through town with a big smile on its face as she went.

Town ponies looked on puzzled as the Princess of Friendship made her way through the street like a school filly that had just gotten her cutie mark.

Why the heck am I bouncing? Ponies are staring at me!

Because bouncing is so much more fun than walking!

Twilight tried to get herself to stop, to try and ask somepony for help, but it was useless!

She couldn’t even use her magic to try and cast a spell.

Before she knew it, she had bounced all the way to Sugarcube Corner, transitioning back to a walk as she made her way through the front door and inside the shop.

The bakery was relatively empty at this time, as school hadn’t let out yet and most ponies had eaten lunch for the day.

Only two ponies at a table in the corner occupied the eating area, engrossed in a conversation about buck ball, and the Cakes could be heard in the kitchen, baking away.

This allowed Twilight to make her way to the staircase up to the living quarters without being seen, and then to the attic stairs which lead to Pinkie Pie’s room.

What are we doing here?

Silly Twilight, we’re planning our next party!

Twilight’s hoof reached out and touched the banister of the stairs that lead to the building’s roof.

The banister, shaped like a soft serve ice cream cone, activated, collapsing down and activating the secret trap door that lead to Pinkie’s Secret party cave.

“Weeeee!” Twilight screamed as she slide down the slide and into the secret room.

Twilight’s body made its way past the various party supplies to a desk against a wall sitting down in a bean bag chair and grabbing a file on the desk from a small stack.

It was one of Pinkie Pie’s party files. This one was about Silver Spoon. Her birthday was just a week away!

Twilight found herself going through and planning each pony’s party that was in the stack, from the food, invitations, supplies, venues, even a gift to give to each pony.

This would have taken any pony days to plan just one party, but Twilight found herself working through them at a rapid pace, filling out forms and invites with the necessary details before placing them in envelopes and placing them in a box at her side labeled “outgoing mail”.

Twilight actually found the organization and planning somewhat enjoyable. She almost forgot she didn’t have a choice in this matter to start with!

In just three short hours, all the ponies’ parties for the next month had been planned to a T.

That was actually kind of fun planning every pony’s parties. Now that that’s done, can we go back to the castle?

Twilight hoped since the voice had gotten what it had wanted that maybe it would let her have control of herself back now. What else could it want?

Good one silly! You know all the parties aren’t done yet!

Her body made its way back over to the desk, reaching underneath the table and pressing a button that resided there.

This caused a wall to click and open on the far side of the room, which her body began making its way toward.

I don’t get it. Why does Pinkie Pie have a secret room inside her party cave?

You know why silly! For all the secret parties some ponies don’t need to know about!

Twilight was shocked as she entered the next room.

It was set up much like the party cave, with a desk, filing cabinets, and shelves for party supplies, but these supplies were much different!

The shelves were adorned with a large variety of sex toys, suggestive lingerie, potions, lubricants, oils, movies, dolls, and all mater of items designed to cater to a pony’s special needs and fetishes.

Why does Pinkie have this room?

Because there’s lots of ways to make ponies smile! And one of the best ways is to make sure they have an extra fun time being honest with who they are with like minded ponies like them!

Twilight was trying to wrap her head around this logic as her body made its way over to the desk, taking a seat on the chair shaped liked a big teddy bear wearing a skimpy pair of underwear around its waist.

Her hoof reached over for a file and flipped it open. This one had Starlight’s name on it!

Upon opening the file, Twilight was greeted with a summary of Starlight’s most secret kinks.

Starlight Glimmer likes poofy pink diapers, incontinence potions, breast feeding, but she’s afraid of hiding games.

The rest of the pages showed pictures of Starlight with a diaper around her flank, some more used then others, playing with baby toys sucking on pacifiers, and even breast feeding!

There were other ponies in the photos too that she recognized.

Mr. and Mrs. Cake could be seen in a few photos diapering and feeding a few ponies in foalish garb.

DJ Pon3 and her girlfriend Octavia Melody could be seen humping each other’s diapers with looks of euphoria plastered on their faces.

Even some students she recognized from the school of friendship were in some of the photos, each enjoying acting like babies.

I…I never knew Starlight had this side of her.

Sure you do! You remember teaching her friendship lessons after she came to Ponyville.

You told her to make friends and told her to try and find ponies with things she had in common.

She confided in us about liking being treated like a baby filly, and we introduced her to ponies just like her so she could make other baby friends!

Twilight knew that wasn’t true. She figured Pinkie must’ve helped Starlight somehow find ponies that shared her odd interest, but how she found out about it was something she really didn’t care about finding out.

She had her own kinks, but definitely didn’t want them shared with ponies she knew!

Her body made a few notes like with the other party plans; how many diapers and potions to bring, what toys were required, and who to invite.

She finished all the required forms and put them in the outgoing mail as well.

Rather then proceed to the next file though; she began to walk toward the shelves of kink items.

Wha… What am I doing?

We have to try out and make sure all the supplies work for the party silly!

No! No please! I don’t want this! I’m not Pinkie Pie!

Twilight tried with all her might to do something. To run, to scream, to teleport herself far away, but it was no use. Her body wouldn’t let her.

Aw, don’t cry. Why should we act like a boring Princess when we can make everypony happy like Pinkie?

But I don’t think that’s—

Think? What’s to think about? I’m thinking we should just be like Pinkie. Besides, there’s lots more fun parties to plan here.

I don’t think I should be—

Twilight? You’re right; we tried that and all it ever got us was stress. Why not forget? Why not let yourself—

Be like Pinkie?

Yes! Just be like Pinkie. Just be like Pinkie. Be just like Pinkie. Be just like Pinkie. Be like Pinkie. Be like Pinkie. Be Pinkie. Be Pinkie. Be Pinkie. Be Pinkie.

The voice continued to coerce Twilight as it grabbed the supplies that needed to be tested.

A supper thick diaper, a nursing potion, an incontinence potion, a pacifier, and a vibrating wand were all gather and placed on the desk she sat at previously.

As her body unfolded the diaper and taped it around her plot, a loud pop sounded through her ears.

All her memories of learning math, science, history, and literature were swapped in favor of jokes, sweets recipes, and social skills.

Making every pony around her happy was what she lived for.

That and teaching everypony how to be a great friend of course.

Her average and perfectly healthy body began to transform as well.

Twilight had spent her life learning about and keeping her body in the best shape possible, making sure she aligned herself perfectly on her height and weight chart as she aged.

The new her had a much different idea about dieting and exercising.

Her stomach, which had been flat as a book cover, started to swell rapidly, inflating to give her a tummy that clearly enjoyed its fair share of sweets often.

Her petite plot and thighs also followed suit, growing to give her a beautiful amount of chunk that a stallion would not be able to keep his hooves off of given the chance.

Her breasts also received some extra attention. She had never had a problem with her B cup breasts, finding them perfectly fine for a pony of her figure.

Now though her boobs began to gain more and more mass like they were filled with dough, rising to a perky F cup.

Gazing at her left no doubt she was a pony that enjoyed her pastries as much as she loved getting to know new friends.

Her straight and tame mane and tail began to curl all over, shortening slightly; her mane loosing its bangs so her smiling face was always on full display.

Lastly her face, chest, and fore hooves each swelled up a bit also, leaving no doubt in anypony’s mind that she was a pony who didn’t give a buck what she ate as long as her tummy liked it.

As the changes slowed to a halt, the voice echoed the thought that became Twilight’s new reality;

Be Pinkie …

“Be… Pinkie …” She whispered softly to herself.

And when she opened her eyes that’s who she was; Twinkle Sky. Who she’d always been.

A big smile spread across her face and she felt the poofiness of the diaper strapped around her waist with her hoof.

“They pass the waddling and comfy test, now to test the other supplies!” Said Twinkle.

She took a medicine dropper and placed a drop of the nursing potion and a drop of the incontinence potion on her tongue. Just enough for the potions to take effect for a few minutes.

Moments later, Twinkle could feel her body feeling strange.

The space in her diaper became slightly smaller, as her F cup breasts became engorged with milk to a massive H cups that she could feel leaking into her diaper.

She could also feel her tummy rumbling, causing her face to contort.

She stuck the pacifier in her mouth and suckled profusely as she soaked the front of her diaper and loaded the back with a nice amount of pee and mess.

She laughed at the potions effects, giving them a passing grade as well.

Now it was time for the really fun part.

She grabbed the wand and switched it to max power, shoving it against her yellowed diaper front.

Even through the diaper’s thick bulk, the wands vibrations could be felt perfectly as they stimulated her breasts and crotch, making Twinkle cum in a matter of minutes into her diaper, panting in bliss as she switched the wand off and collapsed on the floor, mashing her mess against her.

After catching her breath, Twinkle spoke to herself, “These babies are gonna love this party so much they aren’t gonna wanna leave!”

She giggled to herself as she felt the potions affects subsiding, untaping the diaper from her wide rear and letting it fall to the floor with a plop.

She quickly levitated some wipes over to clean herself off in a jiffy before taping the diaper up and throwing it in the trash with the wipes.

She made her way back to the desk and made an order for some onesies, pacifiers, and wands to put in goody bags for everypony.

She then moved on to her next file. Filthy Rich.

She rolled her eyes. She didn’t really like catering to older ponies parties.

They tended to more enjoy just the sex without really getting to know everypony at the party.

But he and his business partners paid so well it helped her make other ponies parties special.

She made her way over to make sure she had her special lingerie in his favorite color set aside.

She pulled the bra over her head and made sure it rested tightly against her chest.

She then took the thong and pulled it up her legs to her waist, letting the elastic fly out of her hooves and fly against her flank with a loud snap, making her shutter in pleasure.

She looked at herself in the mirror, making a few sexy poses before giving her butt a smack, smiling as she saw it jiggle a little before settling back in place.

The other mares could keep their scrawny behinds. She knew she had what the stallions really wanted.

She giggled as she took the lingerie off and placed it back in its place on the shelf.

She skipped back to her desk and picked up the last file on her desk. Thunderlane.

This one was more of a special request. He wanted a wide variety of species to have fun with at his birthday party with a few like minded stallion friends of his.

This was not a problem for Twinkle however. She wrote letters to a few dragons, changelings, gryphons, and even kirins to come and show the stallions a good time.

But there was no way she was missing out on a party just cause she was a pony.

She strolled over to her potions shelf and picked up a vial and brought it back to her desk, taking the medicine dropper and placing a drop of the white creamy liquid on her tongue like she did with the other potions.

Her body began to tingle as changes rocked the purple alicorn’s body.

Horns sprouted out of her head, becoming long and pointed like a bulls.

Her tail lost hair, becoming long with a tuft of hair at the end like a cow’s.

Her mane grew out of control, gaining bangs that came down and covered her eyes while her mane lengthened into braids on either side.

Her torso became engulfed in fur, quickly consuming her legs, waist, and chest. She also gained a large hump that took up much of her upper back.

Her hooves became black and cloven, splitting down the middle.

Lastly her face pressed forward slightly and became a bit bigger, along with the rest of her body which grew to three times its size.

There was no mistaking what Twinkle was. She was a female yak!

The former pony looked at herself in the mirror and chuckled, her voice now a bit gruff sounding.

“I sure hope Thunderlane can handle this piece of ass!” She laughed whole heartedly.

As she looked in the mirror though, she felt she was missing something.

She stomped over to her collection of lingerie and looked through it until she found something that made her smile.

She picked up the panties and bra in her teeth and sat them on the floor before rushing over and grabbing a potion from the shelf, returning to the outfit and dumping the liquid on the garment.

Before her eyes, the garment began to get bigger and bigger, far surpassing any pony’s size before stopping.

Twinkle picked the garment up and slide the bra and panties over her yak body.

The hot pink outfit made her look all that more appealing as she gave her massive yak rear a shake.

It was at that moment the potion wore off however and Twinkle returned to her pony form with a poof of smoke, the panties and bra falling off her small frame and onto the floor.

Twinkled cracked up at the awkwardness of the situation before picking the massive garment up and setting it aside, making a note in Thunderlane’s file to bring it to the party.

All the parties planned, she turned around and exited her secret secret party cave, closing the wall softly behind her.

A lot of these kinks were necessarily her cup of tea, but they sure were fun to try!

She grabbed a piece of cake from her party cave and scarfed it down, making her way back up the slide and back to Pinkie Perfect’s room.

She had been so happy when her librarian had allowed her to keep her secret party cave hidden inside her room.

That made it all the more secret. Plus it made it a lot easier to order and make cakes at Sugar Cube corner for all the parties she threw to help ponies make friends!

Speaking of which, it was time to foal sit for the Cakes! She knew she was their favorite babysitter and couldn’t wait to see them!

She quickly made her way down the stairs to the two tots and their parents, with all the happiness in the world contained in her smile.

Chapter Eight- A Dragon Lighting the Way

Starlight Glimmer stepped off the train in Ponyville, her friend Spike by her side.

The two friends had just returned after a weeklong trip solving a friendship problem in the dragonlands together.

It had taken a lot of work, but the two managed to get the job done.

“I still can’t believe those two male dragons had stopped being friends just because they both liked the same girl.” Said Spike as he hoped off the train, carrying his and Starlight’s backpacks in his claws.

Starlight reached for and grabbed her bag from Spike.

“I can’t believe she agreed to date both of them! Much less that they were all fine with that.” Said Starlight.

“Well they all seemed to have a really strong connection with each other. Kind of like you at Sunburst.” Said Spike.

Starlight blushed. She didn’t want anypony knowing just yet that her and Sunburst were dating.

They had decided to give it a try after he accepted the job of co-headmare at the School of Friendship alongside Starlight.

They had written frequently back and forth their romantic thoughts about one another ever since.

It would only be another week or so until he would arrive in Ponyville and move in.

The two of them made their way through town and down the country road to Twilight’s castle, opening the door and stepping inside.

“Twilight! It’s us! We’re back!” Spike yelled as he and Starlight made their way through the castle halls.

No one responded to Spike’s statement however.

He and Starlight made their way up the stairs the next floor of the castle to the library, expecting to find Twilight inside with her head buried in a book.

Instead however, they found a familiar looking pink pony sitting on the couch, wrapped in Twilight’s blanket and reading a large leather bound book.

Spike and Starlight gave each other slightly worried looks. Ponies were allowed to check out any book they pleased from the castle, but they certainly weren’t allowed to just come in and make themselves at home.

“Uh, hello?” Starlight said to the pony.

The pony looked back at them and gave a warm smile before getting up, the blanket falling to rest on the couch.

“Spike! Starlight! So glad you’re back!” Said Pinkie Perfect, giving her two friends a hug.

“How was your trip? I want to hear all about it!”

Spike and Starlight looked at each other puzzled.

The pony in front of them certainly looked like Pinkie Pie, but her mane and tail looked exactly like Twilight’s, and her voice sounded much more like a scholar then the usual party pony they associated her with.

“Pinkie Pie? Is that you?” Said Spike.

“Pinkie Pie? What an odd sounding name. You know who I am Spike! I’m Pinkie Perfect! Your friend and local librarian.”

Spike pulled Starlight aside into a huddle.

“That is Pinkie Pie right? There’s too much of a resemblance for her not to be.” Said Spike.

“Only one way to find out.” Said Starlight.

She aimed her horn and shot a beam of magic at the Pinkie pony, enveloping her body in a greenish blue aurora before disappearing.

“That’s Pinkie Pie alright. But there’s some kind of strong magic surrounding her. I’ve never felt anything quite like it.” Said Starlight.

“Oh my, look at the time. I need to organize the books. We’ll have to catch up later.” Said Pinkie as she walked over toward her desk by the library door.

Spike went and followed her, with Starlight about to join him when she noticed a box lying on the table next to her.

It’s not like Twilight to leave garbage around.

Starlight thought to herself as she investigated further.

She looked in the box and saw a strange white sphere, which her horn immediately recognized as emitting the same magical energy as Pinkie was!

She then noticed a piece of paper and quill lying next to the box with Twilight’s handwriting on it, listing what appeared to be what she witnessed the sphere doing.

She then read the back, which contained Celestia’s letter.

Starlight gasped as she finished reading the letter.

Clearly Pinkie had somehow been affected by the sphere!

She ran over to Pinkie, the sphere held in her magic so it wouldn’t be activated.

“Pinkie! Did you or any of our other friends touch this thing?” Starlight asked her in a panic.

Pinkie looked into the box.

“Oh yes! Twinkle Sky showed it to us at our last lunch together. Apple Jewel, Flutter Dash, Raritini, and Flutter Dashie were there too! I told Twinkle I’d look into it, but I haven’t gotten around to it yet.”

“If you want to get started, this book would probably be a good place to start.” She handed Starlight a book that lay on top of the stack of returned books, called “Ancient and Obscure Magical Artifacts”

Starlight looked at the book, then back at Pinkie as she marched off with the book cart.

Wait. Pinkie mentioned five other ponies had lunch with her here at the castle. If Twilight showed them all the sphere, then that probably means…

Starlight quickly ran back over to the table and began flipping through the book.

If all her friends had been altered somehow by the sphere’s power, then she had to figure out all the information on it quickly so she could get them back to normal!

About half way through the book, she found what she was looking for.

“’The Sphere of Psyche’, while the origins of this item are unknown, it contains great power. Once activated, two ponies simply need to touch the sphere one after the other and soon will swap lived experiences, making each pony act like the other. In order to reverse this process, the sphere must simply be activated and the process must be done in reverse order. Be warned, a skilled unicorn in the art of magic should mediate when using this item, as the ponies affected by it will have no recollection of the changes taking place.”

Starlight placed the book back on the table. It looked like all she had to do was find her friends and complete the reversing process.

She quickly caught Spike up on all the details.

“Well since Pinkie is here at least, we should have her come with us and try and find Twilight first.” Said Spike.

“Good idea. Pinkie Pie! Where are you!?!” Yelled Starlight.

“Uh, Starlight. She’s probably not gonna respond to that. Remember, she said her name was Pinkie Perfect.” Said Spike.

“Oh right. Hehehe.” Said Starlight embarrassed.

Upon looking through the rows of books however, they found the pink pony was nowhere to be found.

“Darn it! We lost her.” Said Starlight.

“Let’s try looking around town for the others. We’re bound to find her eventually. Maybe if we look at their new names, we can figure out who they switched with, and that will help us find where they are!” Said Spike.

“That’s a great idea Spike! Let’s get started!”

The two ran out of the library and began heading back toward Ponyville, deciding to find Applejack first.

They found her inside Carousel Boutique, trying on all the new cloths she had bought that day.

She insisted on trying on everything before coming with them.

This didn’t bother Spike too much however; he liked seeing Apple Jewel pose seductively in the mirror.

Soon though she settled on an outfit and they headed to find Raritini.

They found her at Applejack’s farm, eating dinner with a very confused apple family.

Once they had the two friends together, Starlight activated the orb and had both ponies touch it.

There was a puff of smoke, and when it cleared both Applejack and Rarity stood where the other had moments ago, although Applejack was now wearing her hat and Rarity was wearing the short shorts and tank top Apple Jewel had on seconds prior.

Both of them could not recall what they had done in the previous hours since leaving Twilight’s castle, but agreed to help Starlight and Spike on their mission to help the rest of their friends.

They then went by Rainbow Dash’s house and found Flutter Dash, who insisted on showing them the new tricks she had mastered that day before coming with them to what she insisted was Rainbow Shy’s house.

They found Rainbow back in the barn, feeding a wolf pup a baby bottle.

Once Rainbow had finished giving the baby animals their bottles, Starlight again had the two ponies touch the sphere, a cloud of smoke appearing and disappearing to reveal the Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy as their normal selves.

The five ponies and dragon were now heading back toward town to try and find Twinkle Sky.

“If Pinkie was acting like Twilight, then that must mean Twilight is acting like Pinkie, and should be at Sugar Cube corner right?” Said Applejack, happy to be herself again.

She had asked Spike and Starlight how they had found her, and shuttered at the thought of what she might have been up to as a fashionista.

“Unless there’s a party in town, in which case we may never find her.” Said Fluttershy with a bit of worry in her voice.

“We have to try. We found all of you didn’t we?” Said Starlight.

The group of friends entered Sugarcube Corner, finding the cakes tending the front counter.

“Oh thank goodness you’re here. Something seems really wrong with Twilight! She came down from upstairs an hour ago saying she was ready to watch Pound and Pumpkin, even though we never asked her to! We figured it’d be fine since Pinkie didn’t show up.” Said Mrs. Cake.

“But she’s been acting a lot like Pinkie! Her hair is all poofy and her body looks like she’s eaten a weeks worth of cakes!” Said Mr. Cake.

“Where is she now?” Asked Spike.

“She’s up in Pinkie’s room!” The cakes said in unison.

Starlight headed up the stairs, followed by Spike and the rest of her pony friends.

When they reached Pinkie’s room, they spotted Twinkle Sky flying up at the ceiling, the cake twins sat atop her back.

“Twinkle! Can you come down please. We need your help!” Yelled Starlight.

“Looks like it’s time to come in for a landing babies!” She said as she dove toward the bed at an almost dangerous speed before doing a loop to catch the cake twins in her arms and land on the bed with a big bounce, making her and the twins break out into a fit of giggles.

“I’ll just drop the twins of with the cakes and then I’m all yours!” She said as she put the twins on her back and marched down the stairs.

Starlight looked at Twinkle Sky with uneasiness.

Seeing her teacher acting and looking so different was really throwing her off. She was just so chunky and bubbly!

Twinkle left the twins with their parents before making her way outside with her friends.

“We’re gonna need Pinkie too. Do you know where she is?” Asked Rarity.

“Oh I’m sure she’s probably holed up in her room at the castle reading some boring book like she always does this time of day. Let’s go get here!” Said Twinkle as she began bouncing along at a fast pace, her friends struggling to keep up.

The group of friends followed Twinkle inside the castle and up the stairs.

She made her way to the door opposite the library, opening it and stepping inside.

When Starlight and company entered the room, they were surprised at what greeted them.

Stacks of books and parchment lay everywhere, a small desk and a few photos were the room’s only furnishings, except for a bed where Pinkie Perfect lay, a book sat at her side.

“What’s up girls?” She said as she rose to her hooves.

“I just wanted you and Twinkle here to take another look at the sphere. I think you’ll find something quite interesting about it.” She said as she passed the sphere to Pinkie, who then passed it on to Twinkle.

Just like before, a puff of smoke bellowed and when it dissipated, the chunky pink party pony and the elegant purple princess were back as they belonged.

The two ponies looked at their friends, then at each other, and lastly at themselves, bewildered at how they had gotten there.

Items in the room also vanished as the room’s past reality returned, leaving it filled with random items that were in storage.

Starlight ran forward and gave her teacher a big hug.

“Oh I’m so glad you’re back to normal!” She said as she hugged Twilight tightly.

Twilight looked at Starlight then looked down at her hooves to see the sphere sitting on the floor.

“So, what exactly happened?” Said Twilight.

The group of friends found themselves once again in the dining room of Twilight’s castle, sipping on refreshing glasses of lemonade as Starlight and the others filled Twilight and Pinkie in on what had happened.

It had been such a busy day, and everypony was glad to have everything back as it was.

Twilight filled out a quick report to Princess Celestia explaining what had happened, along with her advice to put the sphere of psyche somewhere secure and safe where nopony would ever be faced with its ill effects again.

She then sealed the box and sat it on the floor, having Spike send it off to Celestia with his magic flame.

“Well it’s a good thing Starlight and Spike arrived when they did. Otherwise we might’ve gotten into even more of a mess. A toast to our amazing friends!” Said Twilight.

“Cheers!” Said everypony and Spike.

It was always good to know that no matter what came there way, the magic of friendship would always help them find their way back home.
