Test #001
Experiment: Lunar pony swallowing ability.
Subject: Specter

A blurry black and white vision of Midnight Blaze's face filled the screen, staring intently with his tongue in his cheek as he used his magic to fiddle with the camera. The view shook and distorted a few times before finally focusing into a clear full-color image.

With a satisfied smile Midnight stepped back, and the view widened to reveal his workshop. Space had been cleared in the middle of the room, and Specter sat on the floor wearing a helmet covered in wires that were plugged into a number of machines displaying various readouts. He was staring speculatively at a large watermelon in front of him.

"Alright, test number one." Midnight spoke, looking into the camera. "This experiment will test the newly discovered swallowing ability found in certain lunar ponies. Please say hello to Specter, my volunteer subject for today!"

Specter looked over, giving a little wave and flashing a smile.

"In this experiment, Specter will be demonstrating this ability by consuming an entire intact watermelon."

Specter stuck his tongue out at that, causing Midnight to sigh in exasperation. "Some professionalism please, volunteer. You may begin when ready."

Specter rolled his eyes and turned his attention back to the watermelon.

Picking it up in his forehooves he cradled it carefully, orienting it so it was lengthwise. He lifted it up over his head in front of him and opened his mouth wide. Very slowly he started pushing it in, struggling as his jaws refuse to spread wide enough to encompass the large fruit.

After several moment of seemingly futile efforts, there was a barely audible 'pop,' and the watermelon abruptly sunk halfway in, bulging the lunar pegasus's cheeks out comically. This seemed to be the tipping point as the melon quickly sunk in further, disappearing down his gullet in a series of wet slurps and gulps.

Specter's throat bulged as a massive round lump travelled slowly downward. He panted, tongue lolling out as the bulge reached its destination. When it did, his normally toned stomach expanded outward and rounded out.

Finished with his meal, Specter let out a satisfied belch and stood up, stretching out his legs a bit to show off the small potbelly that hung down beneath him.

Midnight turned back to the camera. There was a slight blush on his face, and he had his back legs crossed tightly. "E..excuse me for a moment." He said in a flustered tone, turning and dashing off camera.

Several minutes passed, and by the time Midnight returned Specter's belly had returned to its normal appearance as he idly toyed with some instruments on a workbench.

"Hey, what did I tell you about touching things in my shop!?" Midnight yelled, causing Specter to jump back in alarm.

Midnight turned back to the camera. "Sorry about that. Now…where was I?”

He shuffled through his notes briefly before continuing. “Anyway, as you've seen this ability not only allows for the swallowing of larger objects than normally possible, but also boosts acid and enzyme production, massively speeding up digestion. As you can see an entire watermelon, rind and all, has been broken down in less than..." He paused, checking a nearby clock. "Fifteen minutes! These results have effectively proved two of my initial assumptions to be correct.”

He lit his horn, and the screen went black.

**************************

Finishing up some last minute additions to his notes, Midnight slapped a label on the finished film reel and slipped it into a neatly organized file cabinet.

"So." Midnight started, turning to Specter. "There is one other thing I wanted to test. I said a while back that I also posses the ability, and I'd like to see what it's like. I think the best way to do this is to swallow you."

"I don't know.." Specter replied, scuffing his hoof on the floor nervously. "Wouldn't it be better to try it with something smaller first?"

"Well, I also wanted to test my theory of being able to safely contain another pony by consciously suppressing the digestive process, and I'm not sure it'll be possible to do with anything less."

Specter flicked an ear at that last statement, giving Midnight an apprehensive glance.

"In order to reduce any risk..." Midnight went on, "I will have some potions on standby to get you out safely should anything go wrong. So...are you up for it?"

"Alright, I trust you." Specter replied. "But you owe me one for doing this."

Midnight almost spluttered at that. "I owe you!? Did you already forget the time I spent trapped in your smelly gut? If anything we're even after this!"

Specter rolled his eyes at that, but relented. "Fair enough. Let's get this over with."

To be honest, Specter was curious what it would feel like himself to be inside another pony. 'At least in a way that's somehow less lewd.' He chuckled to himself.

Not wasting anymore time, Specter lowered himself to the floor, laying flat on his belly with his hind legs stretched out behind him. Wasting no time Midnight reached out with his magic, lifting the lunar pegasus carefully and lining his rear hooves up with his muzzle.

Specter felt a shiver run through him as a wet warmth encompassed his rear legs. His hooves were squeezed tightly as they were pulled into the opening of the blue unicorn's throat, seeming to meet resistance for a moment, eliciting a sharp gag from the lunar unicorn, before finally opening up to admit them.

The initial hurdle overcome, progress accelerated quickly, and in moments Specter was up to his haunches in Midnight's throat as it greedily sucked him down.

Midnight suppressed a moan. With Specter's rear this close to his nose, his nostrils were filled with the sweet musky scent of the stallion. His thoughts started to drift to what was under that tail that lay flat across that toned rump. 'No!' He mentally berated himself. 'One should not be having thoughts like that about their friend!' Sure, they were both open to mares and stallions, but he had seen Specter with a mare at his side more often than not.

"Something wrong back there?" Specter inquired, wondering why progress had stalled.

"Nuhm mm." Midnight grunted in response, following up with another strong gulp.

Specter slid in up to his belly, and Midnight almost lost focus again as he felt the stallion's firm velvety sack drag across his tongue, assaulting his mind with its salty, yet strangely pleasant flavor. Reluctantly pushing it out of his mind, he made another strong swallow, bringing the lunar pegasus in up to his shoulders.

Crushing heat and pressure surrounded most of Specter's body, making the parts of him that remained outside feel cold by comparison. As he sunk lower, his eyes caught sight of the large mirror mounted to the wall on the far side of the room. He watched in silent awe as his shoulders disappeared, leaving only his head and forelegs visible. His own golden eyes gazed back at him as his face was rimmed by Midnight's mouth. The blue unicorn's sides bulged, and his stomach already drooped well below him. He could even make out the occasional movement of his rear legs as they poked out slightly, leaving small imprints in the taught flesh under Midnight's coat.

The last thing the lunar pegasus saw of the outside world was his face almost completely engulphed by the pulsing pink tissue of Midnight's throat. It sunk in further, and the world faded to black as the slick flesh covered his face.

'GULP'

One last swallow and Midnight could feel the rest of Specter's weight settle into his stomach, curled up in a tight ball within that bulged out his sides and hung down, nearly touching the floor below. Remembering his own experience, Midnight fought back an overwhelming desire to burp, swallowing down a few gulps worth of air instead.

He moaned deeply, reveling in a feeling of fullness ands satisfaction beyond anything he'd ever felt before. Carefully, so as not to jostle his friend within, he rolled onto his back, allowing his massive gut to spread out over him. It pressed his back into the floor as the weight of a full grown pony settled in on top of him.

Midnight concentrated, filling his head with thoughts of protection and care. If the ability did have the power to stop digestion to hold a pony safely, it would almost certainly be tied to willpower considering lunar pegasi did not have the means to actively channel magic.

"Doing alright in there?" He asked, giving his belly a soft pat.

"A bit tight and slimy, and I'm sweating my plot off, but I'm okay otherwise." Replied Specter's muffled voice.

Concern alleviated, another pressing issue immediately made itself known to him. At some point he had grown a massive erection. He hadn't noticed at first as it had been concealed by his hanging gut, but now that he was on his back its flared head was visible peeking out from behind it.

It rubbed against his belly, every movement from within sending a jolt of pleasure along its length. Any thoughts of decency were shoved aside as that swelling need mixed with that feeling of unbelievable fullness. Unable to resist, he reached out with his magic and wrapped his stallionhood in a turquoise arura.

Midnight panted, running his magic up and down along his shaft, crushing it against his belly as he stroked it. He thought about his friend inside him. So close. Closer then any pony could be to another, yet completely unaware that he was pleasuring himself to thoughts of him. Of his delicious plot, and the way he had swallowed down that watermelon with such ease. Of the time he had spent inside him, and the way he had been so careful to protect Midnight from any harm.

Waves of pleasure shot through Midnight as he climaxed, his forbidden thought pushing him over the edge as his cock throbbed, dampening the fur on his belly as spurt after spurt of thick cum splashed onto it.

When his orgasm finally subsided, Midnight was flat on his back as he breathed deeply, mind clouded in a deep haze of swirling emotions.

Suddenly Midnight snapped back to reality as he felt a sharp kick from his belly and a muffled voice cried out."Midnight. Midnight! Lemmeoutlemmeoutlemmeout!"

Panicking, Midnight lit his horn. Abruptly the weight atop him vanished, and there was a turquoise flash accompanied by a loud 'crack' as Specter popped into existence next to him. Midnight immediately got to his hooves when he saw the state his friend was in.

'Rough' did not even begin to describe the lunar pegasus as he swayed on his hooves. His coat was a matted slick mess, the fur missing in broad patches along his back, and the skin beneath red and irritated.

Before Midnight knew it, he was shoving a glass flask filled with red liquid between Specter's lips, forcing him to drink. As the liquid flowed down Specter's throat he seemed to glow, and slowly the redness faded from his skin, new fur sprouting to replace what had been lost. The bottle clinked as it fell to the floor, and Specter just stood there in a daze.

For a moment all that could be heard was a dripping sound as droplets fell from Specter's wet coat onto the floor.

"Specter, I..." Midnight began, but it died on his breath as Specter turned to him, his eyes watering on the verge of tears.

"You.....you almost digested me." He said in a hushed tone, barely above a whisper.

"I'm sorry Specter, I..." Midnight started, but Specter cut him off again.

"No..." Specter sighed. "I'm just as much to blame. I felt it happening, and I would have called out sooner, but...." He paused. "For a moment there I was at peace with it. We've known each other for a long time now, and for some reason the idea of becoming part of you permanently didn't bother me." He paused again, starting to blush. "I think...I think I might have some deeper feelings for you..."

Midnight stood there in shock, every word jolting through him like a blow from a hammer.

Specter sighed, casting his eyes to the floor. "I didn't think you'd unders..." He started, but was cut off as Midnight wrapped him in a tight hug. Their lips met, and they shared a deep, passionate kiss as tears streamed down both their faces.
