*RIIIING!*

Normally, I would've been dismayed to hear the sound of an alarm clock.

But today, on my first full day in Equestria? I was ecstatic.

I leapt out of bed, eager to start the day. Stretching the kinks out of my wings, I made my way to the bathroom. Pausing in front of the mirror, I checked my reflection.

...

Were those eyelashes always there?

Meanwhile, in Chaosville, Discord grinned evilly as he felt a high-pitched scream echo through the very fabric of reality.

"What the hell??" I screamed in a much more feminine tone than normal. "Am I a girl!?"

Looking across my body, I noticed several subtle differences; my limbs were slimmer, my feathers were slightly shinier, and my fur coat was smoother.

Oh, and I was also missing a certain thing between my legs.

I paled. I just became a girl overnight. I had no idea how, but it happened nonetheless. I momentarily considered that I might be dreaming, but a quick splash of cold water from the sink disproved that.

What was I supposed to do now? I could certainly still function as a person, and it wasn't as jarring of a change as becoming a griffon, but at least I chose to stay a griffon!

I took some deep breaths; panicking wouldn't help me. I needed to think: what would my friends do? If one of my friends suddenly changed genders, what would they do?

Why, they'd go to their friends for help, of course. But could I even go outside like this? I was still brand-new in town, and something like this might—

Again, I had to breathe. Everyone was friendly enough; they wouldn't ridicule me!

But just in case, I grabbed a blanket from my bed, and tied it around myself as a makeshift cloak. With only a moment's further hesitation, I opened the door and began rushing towards someplace I knew could help.

*Knock knock knock knock!*

Fluttershy paused in the middle of pouring food for her animal friends. Somepony was knocking on the door, and from the sound of it, it was urgent!

The pegasus rushed towards the door, fearing the worst. Upon opening it, however, she found me. "Graff? Is something wrong?"

I nodded.

"What is it?"

I glanced back towards the road, then quickly hurried inside and shut the door.

Fluttershy must've gotten a glance under my hood while I moved, because she said, "You look kinda different."

I cringed. Alright, moment of truth. Slowly, I pulled down my hood, and looked her in the eye. "H-hi, Fluttershy..."

Her expression went from concern to shock, then to confusion. "Are you... a girl?!"

My face flushed red as I nodded furiously. "I have no idea how it happened! Please, please tell me you've got some kind of explanation, or a cure, or anything!"

She took a moment to process this development.

Then something seemed to cross her mind, and she started blushing furiously. "You've really become a girl? Like, um.... fully?"

I blinked, then also blushed even more than I already was. Why'd her mind go straight to that? "Y-yeah?" I managed to stutter.

She looked away, and I could've sworn I saw her wings stiffen slightly. "H-have you, um, come into contact with anything strange recently?"

I shook my head, "Nothing stranger than a parallel dimension with talking ponies, magic, and Discord."

She thought for a moment. "How about flowers? Have you come across any strange flowers?"

"Only the ones you sent me."

She blinked. "I didn't send you any flowers..."

I did a double-take. "Then who sent the flowers that I put on my windowsill?"

Her face grew a bit worried. "Were the flowers blue?" I nodded, and she groaned. "Those were Poison Joke!"

I paled. "P-p-poison!?"

She clarified, "Not actual poison. They're like Poison Oak, but instead of giving a rash, they pull a prank on anypony who touches them."

A prank. A PRANK??

Actually... "Well, I suppose this is kinda funny... Y'know, in the grand scheme of things."

Fluttershy blinked, before continuing. "Luckily, the cure is simple; you just need an herbal bath."

I sighed in relief, "Oh, thank goodness!"

She turned and headed off into another room, leaving me with my thoughts.

Now that I was calmed down, a thought occured to me: I had a rare opportunity on my talons. How many people could say they'd become the opposite gender? If the cure was so simple, and so readily available, then what was stopping me from having a little fun with this?

An extra hour or two wouldn't hurt, right?

I stole a quick peek at my undercarriage. Alongside the non-manhood, I could see two small nubs protruding from my pelvis area. I found that interesting, as I was pretty sure cats had six of those, while birds didn't have any.

I glanced at the doorway that Fluttershy had gone through; she was still gone. Unable to resist, I slowly reached a talon under my cloak and felt myself.

Almost immediately, I had to stifle a gasp. I was so much more sensitive than before! My tougher-than-normal hands made it slightly awkward, but I quickly got adjusted and began feeling my way around the area.

It felt like a set of luxury pillows down there; so many curves, so many places to explore! It was a whole new experience for me; I'd never been with a woman before, and my curiosity was getting the better of me. I continued to trace my fingers along the edges of the sensitive areas, holding in little shudders of pleasure as I—

"Graff?"

I damn near hit the ceiling at the sound of Fluttershy's return. My hand jerked away from my lower section and into a more neutral position as I sweated bullets. "H-heya, Fluttershy!" I tried (and utterly failed) to sound casual.

She blushed, "W-were you just...?"

"N-no!"

Thankfully, she didn't press it. Instead, she held up a paper bag with her wing. "Um, anyway, here's the herbs. Just pour about half a pound into your bath, and it should fix you up. I can, uh, come over later and help you get rid of the Poison Joke, if you want..."

I nodded, taking the bag in my talon. "Thank you so much, Fluttershy. You're a real life-saver."

She smiled demurely at the compliment, which just about melted my heart. After replacing my hood over my head, I waved goodbye and headed back home.

Some time later, Fluttershy arrived at my house. "I'm here, Graff!"

I poked my now normal head down the stairs. "Heya, Flutters! You here to get the Poison Joke?"

When she nodded, I pointed to the kitchen windowsill, which held the vase of flowers. She grabbed a napkin in her mouth, using it to help her grab them without touching them, and took them outside to who-knows where.

"I'm kinda curious," I began off-handedly once she'd returned, "what happens when you touch Poison Joke?"

She froze, blushing slightly. "I, uh... my voice changes."

I raised an eyebrow, "How so?"

She hesitated for a moment. "We, uh, call it 'Flutterguy'."

My eyes widened considerably. I couldn't even imagine something like that! "Are all the pranks related to gender?"

She shook her head, "Not at all. Rarity, for example, had her fur and mane become all long and ratty."

I held back a chuckle. "Wish I could've been there to see it."

Fluttershy gave a light chuckle. "Yeah, we all got pretty messed up that day. Well, I have to go now; see you later!"

I waved goodbye, and she left.

....

After taking a moment to make sure she wasn't coming back, I headed back upstairs to my bedroom. Looking up to the windowsill, I smiled as I checked on the single blue flower I'd saved from the bouquet.

Y'know, for no reason in particular.

Author's Note

It's been a while, huh?

I've been debating releasing this chapter for a while now, because of that rather sexual scene. I've not written anything like it before, and I was kinda unsure how to feel about it.

But now? Screw it; I'll release it anyway and see what you guys think.

Edit (3/10/2023): General polish, colored the dialogue, and added a secondary 'Mature Content' warning in case people don't read the description.
