If there was one thing Firespot learned after all the pegasi got their flight back, was that flying through storms was full-out amazing. The rain on your coat, the bolts of lightning flashing around you. The dark tunnels of the clouds. For as dangerous as it was, Firespot found it to be such a rewarding experience.
Well for the most part anyway.
One issue with trying this was you needed a strong body and sturdy wings. Something the scrawny Firespot just didn’t have. As such the wind knocked him around more than it bent to his will like he’d seen others manage. He loved the thrill, but just didn’t yet have the body for it. As such he could barely squeeze in a few minutes of flight time in such conditions before having to give up and regroup.
Today was another such day as he made his flight away from his beloved storms and into calmer, brighter settings. Well it wasn’t quite like the inside of a storm, but the unicorn settlement of Bridlewood had its own charm and beauty. One he had come rather fond of as he gently glided into the treetops, headed to his favorite rest stop.
* * *
“Sorry Greyscale, that was time.” Alphabittle said as he smacked his hoof against the timer switch, shutting it off. Really useful little thing. He’d gotten it from Maretime Bay if one could believe it. He’d still use his bell on occasion, but had found this to be a lot less intimidating.
“Rats!” ‘Greyscale’ exclaimed as he slammed the half-finished puzzle box down on the counter. While the unicorn stallion was true to his name with his coat. Everypony couldn’t help but find it off that he had recently dyed his mane and tail a bright neon pink.
“Sorry, but those are the rules. Hand over the payment for your drink.”
With a shrug, Greyscale fished out the few coins needed to complete the transaction and placed them upon the counter. “I’m going to get a free drink from you one of these days Alpha.”
With that the larger, just as gray, stallion chuckled. “Anytime Grey. I’ll be here.” While he didn’t exactly do the deals he used to anymore, he still kept up his challenges. Now a days it was for a free drink or little knick knack here and there, but sometimes if he knew the patron well he’d be willing to ramp it up again. Truth be told, he still loved the thrill of such challenges.
He still couldn’t manage to get a rematch with Sunny at Just Prance though.
“You’re on Alpha.” Grayscale replied with a laugh as he finished his drink and trotted off, whipping his head around to fling his mane about, letting it sparkle. Oh so that’s what was different about it today. He had added some glitter. It was so strange how quickly life was changing after Sunny Starscout, Izzy Moonglow, and the rest of her friends had managed to bring magic back to them all.
The biggest difference was just how many of his fellow unicorns had begun to really liven up and become more expressive with themselves. Hence stallions like Greyscale changing his colors like that. He guessed Izzy had been better off than the rest of them for a long time now. Friendship truly was something special.
The door to his shop swung open to reveal another patron. Alphabittle had barely turned toward it before he brightened up considerably. Speaking of friendship, the pony that walked in was a stallion that while just a few months ago would have caused panic and chaos if he’d walked in then. Now, despite a few ponies having questionable reactions, most simply glanced his way and went back to their teas. Well for the exception of a few stallions thinking a pretty mare had just walked in. A fact that Alpha knew to bother the pegasus.
“Firespot!” Alphabittle exclaimed with the biggest smile. “Good to see you! Ya come to challenge me with more of those amazing Zephyr Height tech as the prize?” The red pegasus laughed as he shook his orange-tipped wings a bit as if to shake the fatigue away. It was almost a shame that Firespot was a stallion. His colors would make him a rather pretty mare, the orange on his wings were a nice compliment to his red coat, and the yellow mane and tail.
“Sorry Alpha not today. Fraid I’m just here for a warm cup of tea and not much else.” He said trying to ignore the looks certain stallions were giving him. It wasn’t like he wasn’t used to it. Just another reason he hated being so scrawny.
Alphabittle pouted in mock disappointment. “Awww, it’s been a few weeks now since we last had a proper match.” As he spoke he mixed up a cup of lemon zest with a decent mix of honey. Firespot’s favorite.
“I promise to bring something next time.” Fire laughed before taking a sip and giving Alpha the oh-so-wonderful sigh of enjoyment. Alphabittle may be a glutton for a good challenge, but he did pride himself on making a good cup of tea.
“So how’s life?” Alpha asked, as he began to wipe not only a few cups down with his hooves, but the countertop as well by enveloping a rag with his magic. It was so wonderful being able to do this. Made weeks like this where he’d given his little helpers time off more manageable too. Usually, they’d be crawling about doing this and that for him. Always felt odd when they weren’t here, but even they needed time away now and then.
“Same old.” Firespot sighed as he nursed his tea. “Still can’t manage to do a proper storm flight. At this rate I’m not even sure how long they’ll keep me on. I can’t be getting the same data the others are.”
“Ah come on champ, don’t give up. I’m sure you’ll get it.”
“Easy for you to say. If I had your bulk I wouldn’t have any problems. Heh, you’d think being slim would make it easier to do this.” The pegasus sighed. “Princess Zip Storm can do it just fine. What am I doing wrong?”
Alphabittle shrugged. “Hard to say. If you’re so sure it’s your bulk I could try and help you with a workout?”
“Ha, I bet you’d love that.” A nearby purple unicorn mare chortled. “Firespot is so slim he may as well be a mare. As is, I'm half tempted to take you to bed despite your stallion bits.” Meanwhile, Firespot was trying to hide his uncomfortable blush from that.
“Alright Misty Trails, lay off,” Alphabittle said in a deep stern manner. Said mare just giggled and went back to her tea.
“Hey don’t let her get to you.” He added to his pegasus friend, but Firespot just waved a wing. It was always strange to see him do that. For his small size, his wings were actually larger than most pegasi he’d seen. Course it was still early after the three tribes began to mingle again. It’s not like he’d seen that large a number of them yet.
“It’s fine, it's fine,” Firespot said downing the rest of his tea. “I’m used to it.”
The dejected tone of his friend made Alpha frustrated. Firespot had been one of the first pegasi to check out Bridle Wood, and his rather competitive nature had made them fast friends. Alphabittle found himself looking forward to said visits more and more. This though, this wasn’t Firespot’s usual self. He knew his body’s image had been bothering him for some time now, even Alpha had thought he was a mare upon first glance.
Before it always seemed like that just drove Firespot to try more and more to succeed. A trait that had led him to enjoy the challenges with him more and more. Now though. What could he even do to help? He didn’t know of any get ripped fast tricks.
So he did the only thing he could for the moment.
“Hey, how about another cup? On the house.” He asked, teapot floating in his magic. Firespot looked up surprised for a moment before cracking a very small grin.
“Oh? No game of cards to win it? Or is the challenge that you’re going to float the cup to the actual top of your house here?”
Alphabittle rolled his eyes. “Har har, take it or don’t featherbrain.”
“Insulting your guest as well? How do you ever expect to keep yourself open?” Fire shot back, but at the same time waved a hoof toward his cup, indicating he’d take the freebie.
“Oh I’m sure I’ll manage.” Alphabittle grinned back.
“You could start by hiring some cute mares!” Misty yelled from her nearby table. A few other stallions, Greyscale included, all gave a “here here!” to that.
“If you’re looking for a job Misty, the answer is no. You’d scare everypony off.” Alphabittle shot back. Misty just snorted and waved her hoof at him. All in good humor. Though Alpha did in fact wish he could hire some help, there were… complications with that. The fear of how Misty might react to them among them.
“I mean we could just put Firespot in a dress.” Greyscale added.
“No!” Firespot growled back. Some laughed, but Alpha could see it really getting to his friend. Again, he wished there was more he could do.
The day continued like this for a while. Firespot took this cup of tea a lot slower, joining in various conversations as the hours ticked by. Alpha doing his best to keep the teasing to a minimum. Before they knew it, they had hit the slow time of the day. Leaving only Alphabittle and Firespot in the place.
“Well, it looks like it’s time for a break,” Alphabittle said using his magic to lock the door and draw the blinds down. It still thrilled him every time he did that. He wondered if having magic again would ever feel old.
“You don’t need me to leave?” Firespot asked getting up from his seat. Alphabittle shook his head.
“Only if you really want to.” He began to get things ready for the evening rush in a few hours as he spoke. “I’ve come to consider you a close friend Fire. I wouldn’t mind chatting a bit longer if you’re up for it.”
Firespot actually had to stop and marvel at how simple this all seemed now. If you had told him last year one of his best friends would be a unicorn, he’d have thought him a flat out lunatic. Yet here they were. It was nice.
“Well, I guess I don’t mind.” He said getting up to stretch his wings. “Not like I know of any other storms in the area to go scope out. Not sure I’d be up for it anyway.”
“Well this place is always open for you.” Alphabittle placed a hoof on his shoulder as he said that.
“I… thanks Alpha. It means a lot to me. Honestly.” Firespot gave him a genuine smile. It was good to have a friend to talk to. “You know I’ve been thinking of making this a habit after work. You make some fine tea.”
“I try.” Alphabittle began putting the various games used for challenges away. “You know I can’t remember, why was it that the pegasi are studying storms anyway?”
“Well, according to our ‘Queen’ and by that I mean her daughters, and by them I mean Sunny Starscout, we pegasi used to control the weather outright. If the legends are true we can not only walk on clouds, but mold them into whatever we want, and make them do whatever we want.”
Alphabittle blinked. “Wait seriously?” He quickly confirmed from Firespot’s expression that he wasn’t pulling his horn. “That’s impressive! Wait but why fly through storms? Wouldn’t it be safer to just take a small cloud and experiment?”
“We’re doing that too,” Firespot answered, flexing his wings. He always seemed to do that when excited. “It’s a lot slower than you’d think though. Magic has been gone from our lives for so long, we have no idea how to get clouds to react the way we want, and believe it or not, our past data for predicting the weather isn’t all that useful in helping.”
“Wait, why not?”
“Because of the return of magic,” Firespot said simply, he paused a bit for dramatic effect before continuing. “What I mean by that is when the three tribes lost its magic, a lot of the ambient magic in the world began to dwindle away. With its return, it’s begun to collect in the most curious of places. Natural locations with legends about the properties of the area are starting to have a bit of truth to them, while many old artifacts and other items have sparked to life again.”
‘So that’s what’s kept Sunny so busy.’ Alphabittle thought. No wonder he couldn’t get her to come over for a dance rematch. “Okay I think I follow, but how do the storms factor into this?”
“Simple, storms also have begun to show magical properties again. As such they aren’t quite acting like we’re used to. Hence the need for new data.” Fire sighed. “Data I’m not being much help in gathering.”
That again.
“Hey now, don’t go getting all depressed again. We were just having fun.” Alphabittle childed while giving him a slight nudge. For his part Firespot tried to shake it off naturally.
“Sorry sorry, it’s just… I dunno I’m not sure what I can do about it. I’ve tried to build up some bulk, but you see how I look. How others perceive me. If such a thing is even possible, it could take quite the number of months before I show any results at all, let alone match you.”
The pegasus looked down at his hooves. “I just… I finally found something I’m enjoying, and the way things look. I’ll have to give it up.”
Alphabittle stayed quiet for a moment as his friend brooded. He wasn’t really sure what he could do to help with a problem like this. He might see about sending a letter to Sunny and ask if she might know anything. Hay, maybe it was worth asking Izzy as well. Those however would take time to bear any fruit. For right now there was only one real thing he could think of to help at all.
“I wish I had an answer for you pal.” He sighed, reaching behind his counter for a familiar block. “Hopefully things will get better soon.”
“Thanks Alpha. I guess that’s all I can do right now.” Another sigh. “Seriously though I wish I had your bulk. I bet with that strength I’d be able to steer myself better. Most think my larger than average wings is why I can’t fly as well as I should.” He snorted. “And perhaps everypony would stop mistaking me for a mare.”
“Well sadly I can’t give it to you.” Alphabittle replied with a sad chuckle. “What I can offer you however is a distraction.” He placed the puzzle box on the counter. It was a simple puzzle. Each side consisted of several small squares, whose rows could be rotated in several different ways. All you had to do was match the six colors to each be one side of the box. Upon seeing it Firespot chuckled.
“You really can’t go a day without a game challenge can you?”
Alphabittle shrugged. “I’m a simple stallion.”
Shaking his head, Firespot lightly flapped over. “Okay fine. You’re on, but I still don’t have anything to bet.”
“Hey friends, don't need to bet anything.” Alphabittle laughed. “Unless you want to take Misty and Greyscale up on that offer of dressing up like a mare. I could maybe present you as my female assistant!” Fire’s eyes widened like saucers.
“W-what? You can’t be serious!”
Alphabittle rolled his eyes. “Of course I’m not, but hey it’s something to bet. Just know if you took it I’d hold ya to it.”
“Ugh no thanks,” Firespot said with a shiver. “Besides, I doubt you have anything to bet on your end that’d feel equal to that.”
“Likely not,” Alphabittle replied with a shrug. “But hey since we’re just having fun. How’s this? If you beat my challenge, I’ll give you the majority of my ‘bulk’ as you put it.”
Firespot snorted. “Okay you’re on there. If that was possible I’d take it in a heartbeat.”
Alpha raised an eyebrow. “Even if it meant crossdressing?”
“In exchange for a muscled body?” Firespot countered with laughter. “You bet your horn I’d take that challenge!”
Alphabittle couldn't help but smirk as he held out his hoof. “That’s the Firespot I know! So we got a deal then?”
Firespot eagerly grasped it with one of his wings and shook. “Deal!” He cried with a smirk of his own.
Little did the two friends realize that their little act had caused one of the many miscellaneous items upon Alphabittle’s trophy wall to light up. It was a rather odd scale using crystal orbs for the two side weights. The center was a beautifully carved yin-yang symbol from white and black crystal respectively. The moment they had said deal, the middle crystal had begun to very slowly spin, a soft glow collecting in its depths.
“Normal rules apply for the most part.” Alpha was saying as he set up the timer. “Though for you I’m only giving you one minute to get as far as you can.”
“Hey, that's like not even half the time you give normally!” Firespot shot back.
“True, but you’ve done this a few times before,” Alpha replied as he set the timer. “Besides, if I’m giving up the majority of my muscles and such, it has to be a worthy challenge.”
“Alright fine,” Firespot said with a cool expression. “However, here's how we do this. I grab another puzzle box like this from back there, and we both try to solve the one we didn’t pick. Makes it more interesting than I try, and then you.”
“Oh? Interesting.” Alphabittle stroked his beard in mock thought. As if he wasn’t one hundred percent on board with this. “You’re on.”
A bit of preparation later, both stallions held a puzzle box in their hooves. Both stared the other down in anticipation.
“Alright, Firespot. I’m going to count to three, then press the timer start. Soon as I do we start working on our puzzles.”
Firespot nodded. “Understood. Get ready to lose all your muscle mass.” Though trying to take it seriously, the absurdness of the reward kept him from keeping his voice steady. Alphabittle was also having trouble keeping a straight face.
“I’m sure I’ll manage.” He shot back before gripping his puzzle. “Okay ready?
One…
Two…
Three!”
With that, he hit the timer button and quickly launched into clearing his puzzle as quickly as possible. These were a bit larger than his other ones. While those had about four small squares per side, this one had nine per side, making it substantially more difficult to complete.
Despite their relaxed banter, both were giving it their all. Much to his surprise, Firespot was lining up the sides at an alarming pace. About as fast as him! Looking up to meet Fire’s eyes, the pegasus seemed to catch on that he’d noticed.
“I bought one from Izzy last time I was here.” He said as he continued to line the colors up. I was determined to give you a proper challenge.”
At this Alphabittle’s eyes lit up. “Bring it!” He shouted trying to double this speed. This was what he loved about this! This thrill! The fact it was with a friend like this. Both just enjoying the moment, testing their skills. There was no better feeling than completing a challenge!
“Ha!” Firespot yelled slamming his fully completed puzzle box on the counter. Alphabittle was so stunned he almost stopped working on his puzzle completely. As it was he didn’t finish before the timer rang out. Looking down at his own puzzle box, he had about half a side left before he completed his own. Firespot just barely got the win, but he had gotten it!
“NICE!” He exclaimed looking it over. “You have been practicing!”
“Told ya.” Firespot beamed as he fluffed up his chest. “It’s more fun when we’re more closely matched. Now pay up.”
Alphabittle laughed. “Well, you beat me fair and square. My muscle and bulk are yours.”
He had intended to pour them both a cup of tea after that, except a sudden intensity of the scale’s glow caught their attention.
“Uh hey Alpha? What’s that?”
“It's a decorative scale I got off an old unicorn. Said it was some sorta family heirloom. Had it up there for a year now I think.”
“A decorative scale that glows?”
“Well uh it’s never done that before so- GAH!” Alphabittle let out a yelp of surprise, as one of the crystal orb weights suddenly shot a beam of magic directly at him. In a few minutes the light of the beam seemed to be flowing back toward it, as it appeared to ‘suck’ something from Alpha.
It didn’t take long for either of them to realize what that something was.
“A-Alphabittle! Y-You’re shrinking!” Firespot exclaimed as he saw his friend lose a few inches of height as the light did its work.
“I’m WHAT?!” Alphabittle cried trying to wave away the beam of light. It was no use though. The light continued its suction even if he blocked it with one of his hooves or any other object he held up. Slowly flowing through his body he felt this sort of… relaxing rumble across his features as if something was giving him a massage.
Trying to focus, he turned to ask Firespot something when something odd hit him. Was Firespot as tall as him right now? Wasn’t he a good several hooves taller?
“I-It’s taking away your bulk!” Firespot exclaimed suddenly as he watched in stunned horror.
“It’s what!?” Alpha cried back looking down at his hooves. Much like Fire said, as he watched it was like the very size of them was being drained away, causing them to become smaller and more compact.
In a matter of moments, Alphabittle went from being a big stocking stallion to a very slim petite one. Much like Firespot looked now. If you put him in a dress it’d be hard to tell he was actually a stallion. Finally, when he reached said look, the beam of light sucked back into the orb, which was now shown with brilliant magical light.
“W-What just happened!?” Fire cried, racing to his friend’s side. “How did it do that!?”
“I-I don’t know!” Alphabittle replied, his voice having lost a bit of the gruffness it had once held. Heck if he sucked in a bit of helium, he’d sound like a mare! “It was just a decorative scale! I mean what else could it be? Instead of plates on each side it has those round crystals! It’s not like I could use it as an actual scale!”
“Okay okay, we just need to calm down,” Firespot said, trying to keep them both from panicking. “There has to be a way to get it to reverse whatever it just did and… wait what’s it doing now?”
Alphabittle had just enough time to look up and see the scale begin to tip toward its other side, the brilliant light it had collected flowing over to its other crystal as it did so. Once the light had switched sides, it fired another beam from that one.
Directly into Firespot.
“Ah! No! I’m slim enough as it is!” Fire cried trying to fly out of its range. It proved pointless to even try. The moment it impacted his chest, he felt his body lose all of its tension, the soothing rumble flowing into him, causing a pleasant sensation despite his panic. “Alpha, help me!”
“W-wait Firespot!” Alpha cried as he watched the beam a bit more closely. “I don’t think it’s sucking the bulk out of you…”
“What? Then wha-” He quickly cut himself off as he noticed Alphabittle seemed to lose a couple of more inches. Oh no! Was Alpha still shrinking somehow? With the loss of his mass, they had become about the same height so why… wait was that table always so low? Oh ancient pony leaders! Alpha wasn’t shrinking!
He was getting taller!
“M-My body…” Firespot said in amazement as his hooves began to increase in size.
“Is… are you getting my muscle and bulk?!” Alpha exclaimed in both confusion and amazement.
Firespot wanted to respond, but the pleasant sensation of his body being given a shot of pure masculinity kept his mind too muddled to talk. As he watched, his body quickly began to fill out, becoming as big and strong as Alpha had been. The odd thing about all of it is it didn’t appear to be a one-for-one alteration. While Firespot was indeed gaining muscle mass, it was more as if his body had simply become more stallion-like. Bulking up only in the areas that a pegasus stallion likely would.
After a few more seconds, this beam of light also dissipated, though unlike the first time, the yin-yang symbol in the center slowly stopped spinning and glowing till it looked just as it did any other time Alpha had looked at it.
Both stallions stared at each other in silent shock. For Alphabittle, he couldn’t believe that this… hulk before him was the former Firespot. He hadn’t exactly gotten the shape Alphabittle had as a stallion, but he had indeed filled out. His chest, his neck, even his flank were all big, stern, and presentable. It was so strange to see him like this. There was no way anypony would see him as a mare now! If anything he looked rather intimidating.
Meanwhile, through Firespot’s eyes, he was freaked out at the small scrawny effeminate-looking stallion that stood before him. Alphabittle had gone from a big stocky unicorn tank to a small delicate looking almost doll-like colt. If it wasn’t for his beard, he’d swear this was mare before him. A bit of a plain-looking one, but a mare nonetheless.
“A-Alphabittle?” Firespot finally managed, a bit surprised at how deeper and smoother his voice sounded. “I-Is that really you in there?” The almost mare nodded.
“Yeah it’s me. Is that really you Firespot?”
“Y-Yep. This is me. Whoa, I feel so tall!” He said looking around. Everything just seemed so much smaller to him now. It was surreal.
This caused Alphabittle to look around himself. Yep, much like everything looked smaller to Firespot, everything, in turn, looked so much bigger to him.
He didn’t like it.
“Y-yeah you uh got my bulk…” He said looking up at his friend. For his part, Firespot did pick up on how awkward this must feel for his friend.
“O-Oh crap! I think you’re right!” Firespot shook as he looked over himself. Damn! He was looking good! He bet he’d have no problem flying through a storm now! Maybe he should test that! He could go for a quick flight, see if he could find one. It wouldn’t be the end of the world if they stuck like this for a few days right?
His gaze lowered back toward his friend, looking small and unnerved. It was likely only his long history as the kind of stallion he was that was keeping him from freaking out.
Firespot stared at his friend for a good few seconds and then back at his new body.
It would have been so wonderful, but it’s not the right thing to do.
“So… how do we reverse it?”
Alphabittle almost blinked at that statement. Reverse it? This was everything his friend had wanted and yet… His first reply was how to fix it. With a huge sigh of relief, Alphabittle thanked the heavens this was his friend.
“R-right well I think it’s obvious that the scale had something to do with this.” He said, staring up at it. Hesitantly he slowly connected his magic to it, wincing as he did so, fully expecting it to fire back to life and alter him further, but instead it simply sat like a lifeless rock in his magical grip. With no effort at all, he managed to float it down to sit on the counter between them.
“Well my magic seems just as strong as ever.” He quietly remarked.
“That makes sense, I only asked for your muscle and bulk. I don’t think magic fits that bill.” Firespot nodded as he too stared at the scale. “Then if this thing gave me your muscle, the question is why? How?”
“N-No idea. I-I mean it never did this before and I’ve done tons of challenges!”
“So it’s never lit up before?”
Alphabittle shook his head. “Not that I’ve ever seen! I don’t understand this. Why did it take my bulk and give it to you? Was it somehow fulfilling the bet we made?”
“W-well I think we’re spot on with it fulfilling our bet,” Firespot said slowly poking at said scale. “I wonder…”
“Wonder what?”
Firespot stroked his muzzle’s underside. “Remember when I said that with magic returning to us, some old artifacts began to work again?”
Alphabittle nodded. “So you think the fact this was an heirloom-”
“It’s an ancient magical device? Bingo.”
Alphabittle poked at the scale himself. “So… what do we do? Hey, scale. I’d like my bulk back. Can we reverse this?”
The scale didn’t answer.
“Maybe we make another bet?” Firespot suggested with a shrug of his wings. Wings that looked too big on his old body, fit this new one perfectly.
“Another?” Alphabittle repeated, thinking about it. It made sense. “Yeah… Yeah! Like how I let ponies try and win their bet’s back, that’s what we do here!”
He gripped two more puzzle boxes in this magic. “We made a bet that caused this transfer, so all I have to do is make another to win it back!”
“Exactly.” Firespot nodded. “Or at the very least it’s worth a shot. So uh, I hereby offer up your bulkiness back to you if you win this challenge.”
“And I offer you uh… free drinks for the next month!” Alphabittle shot back once he thought of something. Sticking out his hoof he looked Firespot in the eyes. “Deal?”
Much as he wished he’d have a chance to try out this body, Firespot wasted no time gripping the offered hoof. “Deal!” The two shook on it and set things up. The moment the timer began, Alpha flew into action, quickly and smoothly putting his puzzle together and slamming it on the counter.
“Ha!” He yelled in triumph. Firespot merely smiled at him ignoring the disappointment inside of him. “Oh well, easy come easy go. Your bulk is yours again.”
They both stood there staring at the scale and waited. The clock ever so slowly ticking by. A minute passed. Then another. Then several.
“Oh come on!” Alphabittle screamed to the ceiling. Nearly five minutes later, and the scale wasn’t doing anything. “Why isn’t this working!?”
“I don’t know!” Firespot groaned perplexed. Inwardly he winced at the small joy of still being big and massive. This wasn’t about him! He had to help fix his friend!
“I mean I was barely even trying,” Fire added poking at his puzzle. “You very clearly won that.”
Alphabittle stopped at that. “What did you say?”
Firespot blinked, “uh that you clearly won that?”
“No no, before that.”
“What that I was barely trying? I mean the idea is for you to win.”
“Well yes, but you clearly let me win,” Alpha said, looking at the scale. Ironically enough the fact his friend wasn’t even trying in that round bothered him a bit, despite the fact that it made the most sense. They wanted him to win his bulk back after all, so it just made sense to stack things in his favor. Still even knowing that he couldn’t help but feel as if they were cheating. Well in a way he guessed they were. Could that be it?
“What if that’s the problem?” He said slowly, still watching the scale. “What if the scale knew that wasn’t a fair challenge so it didn’t activate?”
“Wait so it won’t reverse it because I wasn’t really trying? Well, that’s annoying!” Fire groaned as he grabbed his puzzle again. “Well I guess You can just offer me free drinks for a day or something, and we’ll keep going till you win. Shouldn’t take too long, you almost had me the first time.”
“Sounds good to me.” Alpha nodded, “First let’s reset each other’s puzzles. Then we’ll try again and again till we fix this. Just remember to go all out like we always do.”
Firespot nodded and re-set up Alphabittle’s puzzle box so the challenge would be fair. Much as he wanted to leave it mostly complete, he figured the scale might not accept that either. Well this day has certainly been interesting so far.
“Okay, once more I offer up to you your bulk back,” Firespot said, readying himself.
“And I offer you not just free drinks for the day, but all your meals free as well.”
“Meals? You don’t offer food.”
Alphabittle shrugged. “I’ve been planning on expanding.”
“Who’s cooking you? I don’t think I’ve tried your cooking. If it’s anything like you make tea, I’m looking forward to it!”
Alphabittlefelt an odd sense of pride from that remark. Heh in his current body it was almost like he was a housewife offering to cook for their husband.
The thought of being Firespot’s wife flashed through his mind causing him to frown. Okay that was weird. Did the scale do something to him? All the more reason to fix this as soon as possible.
“Right, anyway, let’s go.”
“Right right,” Firespot repeated. “Okay ready? One, two, three, go!”
Once more both stallions flew into action trying to complete the puzzle the fastest. Firespot had to take extra care not to hold himself back. He couldn’t risk that affecting the fix. Luckily he felt he was doing his best. Deep down he wondered if it was because he really didn't want to give up his new body? The thought hurt.
How could he be so selfish?
“Ha! Ha ha ha!” Alphabittle cried again slamming his completed puzzle box on the table. This time it was the reverse of their first game. It was Firespot who had one last side to complete.
“You did it!” Firespot yelled, nudging the smaller stallion with a wing. “Time to go back to normal!”
“Y-Yes!” Alphabittle huffed as he tried to catch his breath. “Come to papa!”
Once more they sat there and stared at the scale. Stared and was greeted by another whole bunch of nothing.
“Gah why isn’t this working!?” Firespot growled feeling like flinging the scale against the wall. Truth be told if it wasn’t the likely only way to fix them he might have. “You won that fair and square!”
“I don’t know!” Alphabittle groaned pacing back and forth. “We made our bet, we shook on it, and we even gave the game our all! It should have worked! Is it out of power or something?”
“L-Let’s not think that way.” Firespot said angrily at the happy flutter of his heart at the sound of that. “Damn I was looking forward to that cooking too.”
“Oh I’ll give that to you anyway.” Alphabittle sighed, rubbing the spot between his eyes. “You were going to get some free drinks regardless of the outcome.”
Those words sunk into Firespot’s mind. Alphabittle himself had said that it might not have worked because Firespot hadn’t been taking the challenge seriously last time. Like it could tell there was a cheat in place. Could… could this be along those same lines?
“What if that’s another problem?”
Alphabittle looked confused. “Pardon?”
“I mean you said it didn’t work last time because I wasn’t trying right? Do you think… do you think because that wasn’t really a prize you cared about losing it didn’t take?”
“I…” Alphabittle stood there considering that. “When I bet my bulk I didn’t think it could happen, but it was clearly something I’m not happy about losing.”
“And while I doubt we’d have gone through with it, I definitely didn’t want to dress up and act like a mare for a day…” Firespot added. “A-and much as I hate to admit it, I’ve wanted to be this big and strong for a while. I don’t… I don’t exactly want to give it up. But I will!” He quickly added at the end.
Alphabittle looked at him and nodded with a smile. “I can’t really blame you, and the fact you are still trying uh… that means a lot alright?” Nervously he rubbed the back of his neck. Damn it he wasn’t good with things like this! Never mind that for some reason his new smaller stature was making him feel weird toward his friend.
“I… I’m still sorry.” Firespot sighed.
“I know.” Alphabittle nodded again. “But if that’s the problem. What am I supposed to bet to get the scale to work? A year of free drinks and food? I mean I need to make money, but I’m not exactly concerned if you won that. Gah, what can I offer that matches you giving me back my bulk?”
“I-I don’t know,” Firespot said, turning his gaze away. “I mean what even matches that? Your magic? I wouldn’t take that if you offered, I have enough problems being a pegasus, I don’t want to try bothering with a horn on top of that!”
“Yeah magic is still too new for me to be betting it anyway,” Alpha added pacing around. “I could give you ownership of the store, but I’d rather be stuck like this than bet that.”
“And I don’t want you making some bet that risks your life or something over this,” Firespot added. “Damn it I just wanted to be a bigger stallion, and look at how I’m all flustered over this. Yeah, some super-stud I am.”
“You kidding?” Alpha chuckled. “You match me easily with good looks. You’re finally not the mare-looking stallion you’ve hated being. I’m pretty sure you could pick up any mare you wanted if you asked them out.”
Firespot blushed. “A-Alpha be serious. I can’t do that!”
“Why not? You’ve said you’ve never had a mare friend before. Well, you can now.”
“Alpha! I’m not going to leave you like this okay? You’re my friend! I want to help!” He shook his head. “See? The fact you’re keeping it together like this is why you’re the bigger stallion. I could never measure up to you.”
Those words echoed in Alpha’s brain. Measure up.
Could that do it? Alphabittle was hesitant to suggest it, but somewhere deep inside he was curious. What would happen if he lost that? Why was he even considering this? What would it do to Firespot?
For some reason, he couldn’t hold himself back. This would be a risk. A dangerous risk.
So why did that excite him so much?
“O-Okay then I bet you my male pride.” He said quietly. Firespot tilted his head.
“Do what now?”
“My male pride,” Alphabittle repeated. “You said it yourself. Even like this, I have plenty of experience and pride. I could probably bulk myself back up eventually. S-So yeah I bet you the very essence of my stallionness. If you win, you’ll become the strong confident stallion you’ve dreamt about, but if I win I will go back to normal.”
“Are you insane!?” Firespot shouted, stomping a hoof. “And what happens if I win? What will become of you? Forget it! I don’t want to keep your strength, but I’d rather stay like this than put you in danger!”
“I’ll be fine!” Alphabittle growled back. “Also we’re going to be playing a different game, one I’m certain I’m much better than you at!”
“I… There has to be something else we can wager.”
“If there was, we'd have come up with it by now,” Alphabittle said plainly as he put the puzzle boxes away and pulled a cord, causing some curtains to rise, revealing the pride and joy of the establishment. The Just Prance dancing game. Now new and approved with a working motor to power it. Something that was good given his helpers were still on vacation at the moment.
“Think about it. It’s something I don’t want to lose, and I think it’s a good counteroffer for my old muscles and bulk.”
Firespot hated to admit it, but there was some sense in what the stallion was saying.
“Besides the entire time I’ve been playing this, one and only one pony has ever beaten me, and even then it was because I said they just had to beat me one time out of three. I’d never have lost if we’d just played naturally.”
Reaching out he placed a hoof on his friend's chest. “Firespot. I’ve got this.”
The pegasus still didn’t like it, but Alphabittle did have a point. No one could beat him at Just Prance.
“O-Okay fine, but I still don’t like this.”
“Noted,” Alphabittle said once more jutting his hoof out. “So we have a deal?”
With one last sigh, Firespot took his hoof and shook it. “Deal!”
This time they both knew it’d work right away as the scale began to glow again, its center slowly starting to spin.
“Guess it accepted the terms…” Firespot said slowly.
“Just means I can’t lose to you!” Alphabittle shot back, stepping upon the machine. “You ready?”
“F-fine let’s get this over with!” Firespot took his spot next to him on his own dance pad. Alphabittle, using his magic, began to spin something inside the motor, getting it to warm up. Firespot wasn’t exactly sure what he was doing as he couldn’t see it clearly from this angle, but in a few moments the thing roared to life and the game powered up. In no time at all, the music reached his ears as the directions flashed on the panels before him.
He’d only really played this once before, but it was easy enough for him to catch on to. After all he’d taken some dancing lessons when a colt, though of course he hadn’t a big bulky body like this back then. He was certain that’d hinder him enough for Alphabittle to win.
Focusing on the game at hoof, he thought about what would have happened if he actually won this. Could you imagine if he’d got even more manly? He still wasn’t sure what would happen with Alphabittle, but the extra masculinity would be welcome. Thankfully he didn’t need to worry. There was no way he’d-
Ding! The little crown dropped down indicating his victory.
The world ground to a halt as she stared at it.
“W-wait what!?” Firespot yelled looking over to the shocked and rather frightened Alphabittle.
“I-I didn’t account for my smaller frame!” He screamed in a panic. “It threw my entire rhythm off! I-I couldn’t adjust quickly enough!”
“What do you mean you couldn’t!?” Firespot yelled as he glanced over at the scale. He could already see the energy collecting in the crystal again. “W-wait! Maybe we can make it two outta thr-”
His statement went unfinished as the beam shot out and impacted with Alphabittle’s chest. Once more it acted as if it was sucking something out of him, the pleasurable sensation much more intense this time around. For Alphabittle, he felt his entire body begin to burn.
Burn with pleasure and arousal.
“A-ah! AHHHHHHHHH!” He screamed out as his voice began to rise several octaves. Losing what little gruff it had left to become a rather wonderful, almost musical and very feminine sound erupted from his lips. As the magic continued, Alpha couldn't help but moan out more and more in this new voice, the sounds of which were having an effect on Firespot that he was ashamed of.
The sound of that voice was turning him on. Helpless to it, his stallionhood began to poke out underneath him.
“T-this feels so… so weird and yet.. So good!” Alpha cried as his body began to pad itself in the rear, turning his plain flank, into something alluring to the eye. It was now nice and plump, begging to be touched, slapped even. The rest of his body was slowly adjusting as well. His muzzle pulled in, becoming shorter, more rounded. Eyelashes fluttered into existence above his eyes, giving them a rather inviting look.
The beard that he’d kept even after losing his bulk quickly faded away, seemingly pulling into his face and re-distributing it to his mane and tail, which both took on a slightly longer, feminine look and style. It even seemed like the texture of his hair changed. Becoming smooth and silky. The type of mane Queen Haven had.
After that, he felt two ‘lumps’ grow underneath him. It took him a few moments to realize they were teats! He had teats! Just the thought of having them caused them to harden, sending more pleasure through him. Finally, the moment he feared the most began to happen. He felt his dick, which had long ago ended up stuck out and erect to these feelings begin to twitch.
With each twitch he felt it lose an inch or two as it grew smaller. Too stunned by these feelings that he didn’t even think of some way to stop it. All he could do was stand there as it happened till it was all gone. Shivering he let out a loud lust-filled cry as his new slit came into being directly under his tail.
Finally, just as soon as it began it was over. Leaving him as a very confused and very aroused mare.
“A-Alphabittle is that still you?” Firespot asked in his own panic. While obviously concerned for his friend, he was hesitant to touch the stallion… mare.
“M-More or less,” Alpha responded before snapping his mouth shut, hearing just what their voice had become. Hayfeathers, he sounded like a damn pop star. How was he going to deal with this!?
“Oh geez Alpha I’m so sorry I-I wasn’t trying to. I didn’t mean to win!” He cried before a thought came to him. “W-wait the essence!” Firespot exclaimed looking back at the scale. He almost forgot the next part. As it was, the energy was already collecting in the other crystal.
“Q-Quick! Get in the way!” Firespot cried. In one swift motion, he maneuvered himself next to Alpha and grabbing her sides, moved her in front of him.
To Alpha, this meant a big strong stallion had just lifted him as if he weighed nothing and held him up before themselves. Shocked, he simply hung there with a healthy blush on his new feminine face as his friend hid behind them.
Much like before the beam of light shot out and went straight toward Firespot. However, much like when Alpha had tried to block the light before, it simply went right through his now mare body and hit Firespot instead, acting as if Alpha wasn’t even there.
“No!” Firespot cried as the energy flowed through his body. Much like when it had before when it flowed into him, it was like injecting pure pleasure directly into his veins, though this was much stronger than last time. Trying his best to keep himself in check, he grunted as he felt his body tense up even more. The little bits of flab he had left quickly turned into pure muscle. He was sure there was more than that happening, but the pleasure was making it hard to think.
Alpha definitely picked up on a few things as the changes happened. For one the body frame, he felt against him, went from having a slight softness to it to feeling almost rock hard. Another thing that they noticed right away was the musk coming off Firespot’s new body. The smell was… wonderful. So wonderful that it was making him feel slightly light-headed.
What’s happening to me? She cried in her head as her body began to feel aroused again. Was this happening because of Firespot’s musk? That was insane! She was a stallion not a mare!
Wait… she was a stallion right? So why did thinking of herself as a mare feel so right? So good? Dear heavens, she wasn’t feeling turned on by being close to a stallion was she!? Why did trying to think of herself as a guy feel so off? So wrong?
Finally, there was one change to Firespot they definitely both noticed. As the energy continued to flow into him, his dick twitched. It was already at full mast, but the energy caused it to literally grow larger. In both length and girth. Enough that it actually poked into Alpha’s new belly, causing another healthy blush and for her to involuntarily wink with her new mare bits.
Then, just as soon as it all began. It was over. What was left was a rather cute and sexy petite unicorn mare, and an absolutely wonderful specimen of a pegasus stallion.
“I-it didn’t work!” Firespot groaned, letting Alpha go. “Oh geez I’m sorry! I tried! I really did!”
“I-I know I…” Alpha began as she turned around to face him. The moment they locked eyes, however, her mind blanked. The pegasus specimen standing before her was… handsome, very handsome. Like every part of his body seemed perfectly chiseled to aid in him being an absolute hunk. Her mind began to waver again. Something inside her wanted to jump him right here and there. How the hay was she having these thoughts? Had she lost it? She was a stallion not five minutes ago! She certainly didn’t want to press her body against him then!
Shaking her head she tried to clear her mind. What was happening to her? Was she really looking at her friend like a piece of meat? She was even fully embracing thinking of herself as a female, a mare. It was like there was nothing left of a male inside her.
Wait… the essence of what made her a stallion. Oh mayonnaise, did she just make herself the perfect little housewife type? It couldn’t be that easy to go from a straight stallion to a straight mare, could it?
“A-Alphabittle? Are you okay?” Firespot’s voice was asking. Truth be told, Alpha barely registered it. Her entire body not only felt so different, but it was hot. She felt pretty somehow. Pretty and she wasn’t even sure what she actually looked like. Well, there was a way to fix that last part.
“Mirror! I need a mirror!” She cried rushing to the restroom. The Crystal Tea Room only had one, but it had a mirror, and that’s all that mattered.
Running in she stopped dead once more staring in awe at what stood reflected before her. There in the mirror was not just a perfectly natural unicorn mare, but she was indeed rather pretty. In fact she was beautiful! Almost like a princess! She should know, she’d met two of them!
“T-This can’t be me…” She whispered, placing a hoof upon her reflection. Looking like this she could get any stallion to bend over backward for her. The thought both aroused and terrified her.
“Y-Yeah it is,” Firespot said from behind. “Oh man Alpha this is all my fault.”
“How? How is this your fault?” Alpha growled, turning on him. “I’m the one who challenged you!”
“Well yeah but… Damn it whatever this wasn’t supposed to happen! Now what do we do!?”
“I-I don’t know. Wait it out?”
“Wait it- Alphabittle you’re a mare! I doubt that’s going to wear off! You can’t even bulk yourself back up anymore! Well at least not to the size you were before! I… this is a nightmare! I wanted to be big and stoic like you, but not if it costs this! Not if it bucks you over!”
Alphabittle was silent for a moment. She could barely think given all the new sensations her body was giving her. One of the reasons she had cut back on just how aggressive she’d been with her challenges was because Sunny and company had made her realize that by being that way it’d bite her in the flank someday. She never expected it’d do so like this.
“W-we have to make another bet.”
Firespot’s eyes widened. “What!?”
“Maybe just for part of my stallionhood and bulk back. Like you said I can bulk back up with time. It’s not perfect, but what other choice do we have?”
“I…” Firespot began but couldn’t speak. He couldn’t let another mistake happen. “Alphabittle we’ve already gone too far with this. I think we need to talk to that Sunny Starscout. She brought back magic, maybe she can find a way to fix you.”
“We can fix some of me right now!” She shot back. The truth was the longer she stayed like this, the more she feared what thoughts would begin to run through her head. Already she was longing for things with Firespot that she couldn't believe.
Said pegasus gritted his teeth. Even as a mare, she was so stubborn!
“And what are you even going to bet!?” Fire shot back. “If you haven’t noticed I just took every last bit of stallionhood from you that you just became a rather sexy, and might I add, beautiful mare!”
He was expecting her to continue to argue. He was not expecting her actual response.
“You… think I’m beautiful and sexy?” She felt her heart speed up at that. Horsefeathers, this was getting out of hoof. That muzzle of his, those wings. That big strong body. It made her weak just thinking of what he could do to her. Something was very wrong with her mind right now!
He blinked, stunned. “What? Yes? I mean, for a mare body that’s really nice, um. That’s not what’s important right now!” He cried trying to hide his blush. “The issue is you’re not supposed to be a mare in the first place!”
“Y-Yeah, so that’s why we should do one more bet.”
“No way! Besides you’ve nothing left to bet!” He stood firm and tall. That should put an end to that. They had already established they weren’t risking her magic, and put simply she had nothing left to offer.
“If you win you get to rut me.”
Firespot’s brain broke.
“I guh?”
Alphabittle couldn’t believe she just said that! It had just slipped out! Still, it would make a good prize, so maybe…
She took a deep breath and looked him dead in the eyes. “If you win. I’ll let you stick this monster,” she said, poking the still very erect penis with her hoof, “into my wet little snatch.”
Fire’s brain still wasn’t able to properly process this. Especially with her referring to it as her ‘snatch’.
“T-the what to what now?!”
“You heard me, or am I not sexy enough?” With that, she did a little pose. Hoping she was pulling it off well. Her mind was abuzz with questions. Why was she doing this? Would she really go through with it if he won? Was there really no other way?
“You… I… What the hay!? What in the name of the three tribes are you saying!? Have you lost your mind!?” In truth she wasn’t sure if he wasn’t right about that.
“Look it needs to be something you want, and something I’m not all that eager to lose.” She said slowly trying desperately to convince herself it was indeed something she didn’t want to lose. “So I think my mare virginity is a rather big thing to bet, and Hey, if I lose this somehow, at least we know I won’t change any further.”
Fire’s mind was slowly coming back online.
“N-No but you forget the part where I have sex with my best friend turned sexy mare!”
‘Damn that shouldn't sound so good.’ They both thought at the same time.
“So… You don’t want this?” She said turning around to shake her flank at him. This caused his rather impressive dick to twitch in eagerness.
“A-Alpha knock it off! What’s gotten into you! This isn’t you!”
“Yes it is!” She screamed back with such volume that Firespot ended up taking a step back. “This is who I am! I make bets and I challenge ponies to games! And I always, always hold up my end of the bargain. I always give it my all, a-and I…”
Her entire demeanor seemed to deflate as she sat there shaking. Gone was the large rock of a stallion. Right now all Firespot could see was a small frightened mare.
“I don’t know what else to do…” She said in such a low whisper that Fire almost missed it. She didn’t know what was happening with her, but she did know bets, she did know challenges. That was familiar, desirable. This was how she liked to live her life.
“Alpha…” He said, wrapping a wing around her. Too late did he realize what he was doing. It was something he’d do for his sister back when they were younger. He just sorta reacted without thinking about it. Alpha tensed up at the warm feathery goodness that enveloped her. It was so warm and comforting.
“O-Oh sorry.” He said moving away. Alphabittle looked stunned for a moment but quickly regained herself.
“I-It’s okay.” She whispered collecting her thoughts “R-regardless I’m serious. You can… you can rut me if you win this time. In exchange for at the very least my maleness back.”
“A-Are you really sure about this?” Firespot asked quietly. Truth be told it was hard to see this beautiful creature before him as his friend Alphabittle. Part of him wanted nothing more than to take her, but it was all so weird, so fast.
“Yes. I’m sure. So please… what do you say?” She wasn’t sure why she felt like this now, but she did know that she liked the idea of what could come of this. If she won, she was fixed. If she lost… Well, she wasn’t as scared of that as she probably should be.
“I…” Fire sighed. “I don’t know. We’ve already messed up so much, and what if that’s not enough for the scale to activate?”
“Then… then if you win I’ll first suck you off, then you can rut me. You can fill me with your hot hot seed.” Her body shook in what she feared was eager anticipation. Had she really changed so much from that transfer? Or was this some deep part of herself she just never explored before?
“S-suck me? Okay, this is getting crazy. I mean it was already insane, but-”
“Yes or no big boy,” Alpha said, taking charge. Mare or stallion. She knew how to command a situation. “You lose, I go back to being a stallion and get as much of my stallionness back as the scale allows. You win and you get a night with what you said is a beautiful sexy mare. Sounds fair to me right?”
Firespot just shook his head. “This really is insane, you know that? How can I possibly say yes to this?”
“Simply you just do,” Alpha said, moving closer to him. “Tell you what, you let me do a couple of practice rounds on the machine before our match. That way I can get used to this new body and then we go. If I lose after this, we call it quits.” She blushed. “B-besides we’ll likely be too busy anyway.”
Another groan came from Firespot. “Look just… just do your practice rounds and I’ll think about it okay?”
“Fair enough.” She said moving over to the dance pad. Everything really was happening so fast. Not a half-hour ago she was a big bad stallion and now? Would any other pony even recognize her anymore? Why wasn’t this freaking her out? Instead of being disgusted by the prospect of losing she was… actually curious. Could she really follow through with her end? It’d be a challenge that’s for certain.
A smile almost came to her lips as she thought that. That’s right it would be a challenge wouldn’t it? And if there was one thing she enjoyed more than anything else.
It was a challenge.
Ignoring the world around her, she let the music flow through her as she tried to dance. Having a much smaller and slimmer body made it difficult to match the rhythm of the song, but she was slowly getting the hang of it. In fact she felt so light and so free. It was as if the music was truly becoming part of her. Was this how Sunny felt that one time?
‘She’s not serious about this is she? Why would she, he… why would Alphabittle go this far? Why is this even happening?’ Firespot tried to wrap his mind around how quickly everything was spiraling out of control. It was insane to think that they’d just suggest sex so casually like that! He couldn’t really go through with such an idea if she lost right?
He moved to focus on her trying to get her rhythm on the dance pads. His eyes gently landed on her flank. It was bobbing up and down, swaying left and right as she let the music wash over her. Her entire body was covered in sweat as she danced. She looked… She looked…
Majestic. The dick he was still having trouble calming down surged back to attention in an instant. Great! So much for trying to calm himself down! Gah! Was he really getting so turned on by Alphabittle?! This was his best friend! A best friend that’d look so sexy pinned under his massively large bod-
He violently shook his head trying to dislodge such thoughts. Bad brain! Bad!
“O-Okay, I think I have it,” Alphabittle said after a few attempts. She had gotten about as much of a feel for her new form as she was likely going to get so soon. It’d have to do. “So what is your choice? Do we have a deal or not?”
“Is there really no way to talk you out of this?”
She shook her head. “I know it’s weird, believe me, I know, but… I still want to try this. I want to try and solve this the way I always do.”
‘I guess she just wants to prove it’s still her in there…’
“Okay, it’s a deal.” He held out his hoof. Much to his surprise, Alphabittle seemed almost giddy at his response.
“Deal!” She repeated before getting ready on her dance pad. Firespot took his place and prepared himself. With another kick start of the motor, they were off, feeling the beat and dancing along as best they could to it.
This time Alphabittle was making much better time, her little lever quickly rising up. She danced her heart out, unsure if she wanted to win or lose.
Firespot began feeling a bit off rhythm. Not only was it difficult to dance with a huge freaking monster hanging underneath him, but he barely wanted to try as it was. If it wasn’t for the fact the scale wouldn’t accept it otherwise, he’d have stood still.
The image of Alphabittle bouncing around swaying her sexy little flank popped back into his mind. To think if he won she’d not only lift that little tail of hers so he'd have access to her cute little pussy, but she’d start the entire thing by sucking him off! The mere thought nearly caused him to trip. Buck… Buck it all. He wanted to win. He wanted to ram his big throbbing dick into her tight little-
He shook his head again. He couldn’t do that. He just had to pray he lost. Pray that he wouldn’t be given the temptation.
DING! The end game sound sent shivers through his mind.
Both dancers stopped at once looking up with a mixture of hope and dread at their scores. Both had made it so close to the top. They’d nearly tied.
Yet only one crown had dropped out declaring the winner. The crown on the right. The side Firspot was occupying. With a feeling he couldn’t quite describe he let this fact sink in.
He had won.
“Well… you did it Firespot.” Alpha said calmly. Much too calm for his liking. “You won, fair and square.” She tried unsuccessfully to stifle the increasing excitement she felt rising up inside her. She had tried, really tried to win, but the image of that big hunk beside her had messed her up. She just wasn’t able to keep her steps up, and thus, had lost.
“I… look, we don't have to do this.” Firespot rattled, backing away. “There’s no way the scale can make you do this right?”
“Doesn’t matter.” She said, shaking her head. “You won and I lost. W-we have to fulfill the terms.”
Firespot growled. “The hay we do! We can just walk away from this, pretend we didn’t do this last one.”
“Firespot do you know me to have ever backed down from a challenge result? The one time I did I nearly prevented us from getting our magic back. I swore I’d never make that mistake again!”
“This isn’t about magic or the world somehow! T-This is about you! I…”
He shut his eyes. “I just don’t want to force you into anything.”
Alphabittle looked up at him and smiled. Smiled a genuine thankful smile. “It makes me happy to hear you say that Fire.” She trotted over to him, placing a hoof on his chest. “But I’m not forcing myself to do any of this.”
With that she moved her hoof to touch his dick, letting her mind soak in the sensation of touching it. Naturally this caused Firespot to jerk.
“A-Alpha!”
“Geez look at the size of this thing.” She said rubbing it a bit with the same hoof. “If you tried to pick up mares looking like this, most would say yes simply by learning of this!” Not letting Firespot react, she bent down and took a big whiff of it, scared and excited by the reaction that it was giving her body.
The musk itself was very pleasant to her nostrils. Its scent caused her new slit to heat up. Something must have happened when the scale had taken away her male essence. She wasn’t entirely sure what it was, but she knew without a doubt that she wasn’t a stallion anymore. In body or mind. She was definitely still Alphabittle in some form or other, but this body was of a mare, and as a mare, she needed this.
She wanted this.
So she got her fill of smelling and gave the side a little lick. It was… strange. Like licking a potato sack full of veins. Yet it’s taste. It was oddly pleasing actually.
“A-Alphabittle!” Firespot cried, trying to get himself to move. He had to stop this, stop her from doing these things. Of course seeing a sexy and beautiful mare like this ducking under you to give you a blow job, naturally it’d be hard to want to stop such a thing. As such his body refused to move.
“Mmmm, “ she mumbled, ignoring her friend’s protests. It was too late to stop this now. She was going to get her fill. Giving it longer, more drawn-out licks, she quickly moved her tongue all over its sides, working her way to the tip, lathering the thing in her saliva, the entire time holding it in place with one of her hooves. She felt hungry. So hungry for this. She wanted to feel it. Taste it.
Feeling herself get more worked up by the second, she gave the tip a long sloppy kiss, before parting her lips and letting it slide into her mouth, past her tongue. Fighting back an urge to gag, she relaxed, letting it go deeper and deeper. Her entire consciousness focuses on this task at hoof. All she wanted was to become one with it somehow.
“B-buck!” Fire grunted feeling his new massive limb disappear mostly inside Alphabittles muzzle. He couldn’t believe how much of his new self she had managed to fit down there. He nearly came right then and there.
And then she began to bob her head back and forth.
The sensation was more than he could ever imagine. As the scrawny girly-looking Firespot he’d never had any luck with the ladies. Now not even an hour yet of having this new body, he had the sexiest mare he’d ever seen sucking him off. The fact this was his former male best friend didn’t even make a dent in his arousal anymore. He just couldn’t focus on who this was past the beautiful mare she had become.
Both of them let themselves get lost in the feeling. Though it wasn’t long, half a minute at most before Fire realized he wasn’t going to hold out much longer. Not wanting to suffocate Alpha somehow, he frantically began tapping her on the head, trying to warn her about his approaching limit.
“A-Alpha! I-Alpha!”
While neither of these two things really got the point across, it did annoy her enough that she began to dislodge, most likely to ask what the hay, when he felt himself give. With a massive shudder, he shot the first strand of rope right down her guzzle, causing her eyes to widen to the size of saucers.
With a muffled yelp, she pulled herself off just in time for the next rope to spray across her coughing face. Doing his best to help out, Fire tried to move his dick so it wasn’t aimed directly at her eyes or anything, only to practically bathe her in his cum. Rope after rope flew out, getting all over her flank, her mane, her cutie mark. Even her horn had a few globs dripping from it. Once he was finally done, he assessed the damage and winced.
The pure white cum showed up rather well over her gray coat. It was a bit more hidden in her mane and on her tail, but one could still make it out with a close enough look. As she stood there dripping in it, he caught her gaze just long enough to see her swallow a bit before panting, letting the rest ooze out of her mouth as she sat there with her tongue out and a dazed expression on her face. To Fire she looked like a cum drenched horny slut ready for another round.
The mere thought made him hard again, much to his disbelief.
‘I literally just came all over her, and I’m still at full mast? What kind of monster did that scale make me!?’
Alpha’s mind was going a mile a minute. She had just sucked off her best friend. She had just sucked off her best friend and not only swallowed some of his cum, but let him drench the rest of it all over her body. She felt so dirty, so sticky and used.
So why was she still so horny? Why did she want more?
“So… that’s what sucking a dick is like.” The words came out in such a calm collected manner that she shocked even herself.
“D-did that really just happen?” Firespot asked, trying to pinch himself with his own wing. “What… what did we just do?”
“W-well I fulfilled part of my duties and sucked you off.” Alphabittle said matter of factly. “And by the looks of it, you’re ready for round two.”
“Whoa whoa whoa!” Firespot cried holding up his hoof. “Alpha you’re covered in my spunk as if you were some slut, and now you’re talking about doing more? Alphabittle you look and sound like a bitch in heat right now, you realize that right?”
Alpha just stood there staring at him. What was she even supposed to say?
“So… did you not like my blow job?”
Firespot face hoofed. “Like? Do you hear yourself? You shouldn’t have, we shouldn’t have done that in the first place!”
“But… did you enjoy it?”
“Alpha-”
“Answer the questions Firespot!”
“I- I loved it okay!” Fire cried, the experience running back through his mind. “I don’t know if it’s because I’ve never had one before or what, but that felt amazing! I loved every moment of that, and if you weren’t my friend trapped in that body, I’d be just as eager to pin you down and buck you wild, but we can’t! We’ve gone too far as it is!”
“It’s… crazy isn't’ it?” Alpha replied softly looking over her body. That scale had done something to them alright. There was no way this was normal. Yet those feelings of sucking his dick. The burning she felt in her snatch even now. She just couldn’t bring herself to think ill of them.
“This is beyond crazy,” Firespot replied plopping down on his rear, his dick still upright and on display. “This is beyond even insane. I can’t believe you just sucked me off because of that scale.”
“...you didn’t notice did you?”
Fire’s heart lodged in this throat. “Notice what?”
“The scale didn’t do that spiny glowy thing when we made that last deal. It didn’t accept the terms.”
Silence. Neither knew just how long.
“I better put the emergency closed for the day sign out before the night rush,” Alphabittle said suddenly before trotting off to the front door. The last thing they needed right now was customers. Firespot tried to process what he just heard. It took only a few moments for Alpha to finish said task before she was back at his side again.
“Then… Alpha what just happened? Why?”
She looked away. “Honestly? I don’t know. I don’t know if this is just some suppressed part of my subconscious, or the scale did a number on us. I mean in my mind I keep saying it had to but….” She shook her head. “Even then I’m not sure I’m all that bothered by it. I mean don’t get me wrong, I’d never had dreamed I’d be sitting here as a sexy little mare covered in your jizz, but… like it doesn’t sicken me or anything. I-I actually think I rather enjoyed myself.”
“Y-You’re serious aren’t you?” Firespot asked in disbelief. His response was a slow but firm nod of her head.
“I, what are we supposed to do, Alpha? Truth be told when I got your bulk and muscle mass I was ecstatic. I’ve wanted a body like this for the longest time. Or at least a body close to this. This body of mine. This is more than I’d ever dreamed or hoped for.” He picked up a nearby glass, gazing at himself in the muddled reflection. Even like this he could tell he was what many would consider handsome.
“I really did try to give it back, but a part of me doesn’t. Hay part of me still doesn’t want to give it back, and yet I’d do it if I could figure out how.”
“I know Fire…” Alpha said, trotting back up to him, she laid her body up against his side. “I also know that if it didn’t accept that last deal, then I’m probably out of luck using it to change me back into a stallion.” Taking a moment she actually snuggled up against him.
“But is that so bad? Maybe we should just spend some time like this? You’d enjoy your new body and well… I’m disliking mine a lot less than I thought I would.”
It was a little gross having her pressed against him when she was covered in his cum, but honestly, he wasn’t sure how much he cared about that right now. In his mind he knew this to be Alphabittle, the big gruff stallion he had come to call a friend when first deciding to explore Bridle Wood. It had been rough at first, as the three tribes still didn’t exactly know how to get along, but Alpha had greeted him with a warm smile and a hot cup of tea.
Yes, it was hard to imagine this mare, who was pressed up against him so firmly that he could feel her warmth, was that stallion. So much in fact that even though it had seen it happen right before his eyes. He just couldn’t help but image this mare as somepony else. If anything it felt more as if this was a sister of Alphabittle’s or something.
Which made it really hard not to feel aroused by her presence.
“I doubt we really have a choice.” He sighed. “Still we need to contact Sunny and perhaps Queen Haven about this as soon as possible. Making it our top priority to fix this. A-as for right now.” He tried to gently move away so as to not have her fall over.
“We should probably clean you off. You got a shower somewhere in here?”
“I do..” She said slowly, having moved to stay pressed against him, she looked up with her big beautiful pleading eyes. “But we’re not done yet.”
The blood rushed back to Firespot’s dick. “N-Not done?”
“We’re not really going to leave it at this are we?” Moving slowly and purposely, she gently began to nuzzle his neck. “Please Fire, I-I feel so hot.”
Firespot grunted, the mare’s arousal finally reaching his nostrils. By magic she smelled wonderful.
“We, we just went over why this is a bad idea.” He replied softly. He had just been scolding her on this very fact, but try as he might. He was still a healthy young stallion, and she was a very sexy and obviously willing mare. He wasn’t going to be able to resist this forever.
“W-would it be so bad?” She whispered in his ear, her breath feeling so warm and inviting. “S-Sunny and Izzy taught me that we should keep an open mind about new experiences a-and what newer experience can I have than this?”
“B-but if we do this… We might regret it later.”
“I can live with that.” With that Alpha let herself go, embracing her new body as she found herself planting her lips over his.
At the same time, feeling her kiss, Firespot also stopped holding back. Both of them had been stallions who would jump headfirst into danger. Enjoying the challenge. Perhaps it was just their nature to live in the moment, and at the moment he had a very pretty mare kissing him. A very pretty mare with something leftover in her mouth.
“Bleh!” Firespot spat, “I forgot you swallowed some of my cum. That’s not something I needed to taste.”
Alpha actually giggled. “I didn’t think it tasted that bad, but if you like.” She finally moved away from him, taking a few steps in front of him and then raised her tail to reveal her new marehood in all its glory. “I have something else you can taste…”
Facing forward out of embarrassment, she tried to brace herself for his response. However, after what felt almost like a full minute, she nearly turned back to see what the hold-up was when she felt a very wet and large tongue plunge into her depths, eliciting a rather loud and high-pitched squeak that quickly progressed into a moan.
Every taste of her he took caused what felt like every nerve in her body to scream out in pleasure. She quickly found her legs turning to jello after only a short while. Finally leading to her front legs just flat out giving out, as her muzzle crashed to the ground, her back end somehow remaining upright.
“Whoa, you okay down there?” She vaguely heard Firespot ask.
“I… good…” She muttered out, still reeling from what she had just experienced. How was it that mares felt this good? Being a stallion felt like she’d been robbed.
“Okay, we’re gonna have to give you some support.” Fire said as Alpha felt his wings wrap around her trembling body. Before she could register what was happening, she felt herself being carried somewhere. Picked up and moved as if she was a doll. Even in her frazzled state, she couldn’t help but marvel at how small and light she had become.
“Here we are.” She heard Fire say again as she felt her front half land upon something low and hard. Interestingly enough, her back legs weren’t on it as well, leaving them somewhat propped up as the rest of her rested upon whatever hard surface this was. Trying to gain some sense of her surroundings, she was just able to acknowledge that she had her front half propped up on the small stage she had for ponies to do poetry sessions. The perfect platform to rut her senseless.
“You have no idea how sexy you look.” Firespot’s voice came to her as she suddenly felt his weight press down upon her back. As he slid up her, she could feel his fur rubbing against her own, sending more little pinpricks of wonder through her.
“L-Last chance to stop this.” His voice whispered in her ear. She could tell from its tone that much like her, he was lost in these sensations. Next, she felt his tongue begin to lick her neck.
“Mmmmm.” She cooed while drinking in the sensation. She very briefly wondered if he was somehow avoiding the bits of cum still on her, or just didn’t care. Either way, her choice was made.
“T-take me… please.”
She guessed he needed no further convincing as she suddenly felt his massive monster of a dick rubbing against her flank, trying to find her needy little slit. Having waited for this long enough, she tried her best to line herself up with it, letting out little whines of need the entire time. Whines that were spurring Firespot on if the twitches of his body atop her were any indication.
She felt her heartbeat increasing again as Firespot got closer and closer. Was she really doing this? Was he really going to- OH!
Finding his mark, she could feel the head of ‘little’ Firespot pressing against her mare hood. Not that there was anything little about it, the thing felt massive! She was quickly reminded of just how hard it had been too deep throat, what was she thinking? That wasn’t a dick, that was a massive serpent ready to split her in half!
“W-wait are we sure you’ll EEEEE!” She screeched with a sudden convulsion as he pressed the tip inside her. How could something so rough feel so good!?
Another loud and lustful moan escaped her lips as he slowly slid himself deeper and deeper inside her. Whether it was to protect her, or simply to tease her, he took it slowly, maybe pushing in a half-inch at a time, every little push causing another moan to wrack her body. At this point she was just leaving her mouth wide open as each one slid out. Her mind flicking in and out of awareness.
“I-I want you.” Firespot growled, pushing further inside. His voice had changed. Instead of the concerned and scared stallion he had sounded like ten minutes ago. Now the voice he used was deep, commanding.
Dominating.
“I-I’m yours… I’m all yours.” She whispered back, trying to move her hips back in order to take more of him in. Any thoughts of her stallion self had evaporated the moment she felt him penetrate her. She could truly and definitively only see herself as a mare now. In both body and soul. She wanted more of this, needed more of this. She wanted him to claim her, to keep her. She wanted to feel him cum inside. She had to know how that felt.
Firespot however was still taking it slow. While she thought he might have hilted inside her, she quickly found he still had a few more inches. Inches she couldn’t believe were disappearing inside her. Perhaps the scale had made sure she’d be able to take all of him. Maybe it was just a happy coincidence. Whichever it was, she saw it as a blessing.
Finally hilted in his mare, Firespot let himself enjoy the sensation of having her wrapped around his dick. He’d never been with a mare before, and he certainly hadn’t thought his first time would be like this! Alphabittle was perfect. The perfect sexy and beautiful mare, and right now she was his. HIS mare.
Feeling her need, he finally decided to give her a break and began to rock his hips back and forth, letting his dick nearly slide out before quickly sliding it back in. He very much wanted to just ram himself full force but was still fearful of hurting her.
Well, that and her moans and cries of sexual frustration were such a turn-on.
As he continued to please his mare, his eyes took focus on her horn. It was right there just below his muzzle almost. His head slightly moved to the side so he didn’t accidentally poke himself with it.
He knew from personal experience that the wing joints of a pegasus were particularly sensitive and teasable. He always imagined both Unicorns and Earth ponies had similar things. So… could a unicorn’s be the horn?
Well, this was the perfect time to find out. Careful still not to get jabbed by it, he slowly maneuvered his head into a good position to get a good angle at her horn. He observed its carvings for a moment, before throwing caution to the wind, and giving it a small lick. Huh, it oddly tasted like peppermint.
“AHH!” Alphabittle felt herself gasp the moment she felt a tongue touch her horn. A unicorn’s horn had been a bit sensitive even before the return of magic, but the moment unicorns had gotten that magic back, that sensitivity had shot up to eleven.
Much like the arousal in a male-focused itself inside the penis, every unicorn’s magic seemed to collect in their horn, eager to get out. Alphabittle hadn’t experimented much with it himself, but as a stallion he’d heard that a few couples had learned of this and the rumors slowly began to spread. Right now Alpha could very much confirm them!
“OH!” She screamed as another surge of magical ecstasy shot through her horn, this time even causing little sparks to fire off from her tip. Being a unicorn mare was amazing! Thank the heavens she had been born one!
Firespot smiled at the twitching mess that Alpha had become underneath him. Her body trembling with each thrust, her voice firing out various coos and moans, among all sorts of squeaks and other arousing sounds. Now she was firing off pretty little displays of sparks with each lick he gave her. He could barely comprehend why he had resisted this for so long. Feeling her under him like this. It was perfect. She was his, and he wanted nothing more than to keep her like this.
A brief fantasy played through his mind as he worked. A fantasy of him coming home to this establishment to find her happily working away in a sexy apron. Her tummy extended outward with their foals. He’d smile and pull his newlywed wife into a comforting embrace, fully intent to make that night another one to remember. His dick throbbed at the thought.
Alphabittle’s body had begun to shake more than usual. Something was happening, something different. She could feel some sort of pressure building up inside her, growing bigger and bigger with each passing moment.
What was that? What was she feeling? It was so hard to think, but she knew this feeling somehow. She’d had it before, just different. Slowly the realization dawned on her as she felt it begin to consume her. Wait was she about to c-
The explosion of sensations that came when the pressure popped was something she’d never been prepared for. She knew she was making noise, but her ears had gone deaf. Her vision had blurred into a waterfall of colors. She swore she could taste smells. The small sparks that had been erupting from her horn had been like mini fireworks, but they were nothing compared to the massive one she felt explode inside her body.
The world remained fuzzy all around her as she slowly became aware of her own body again. Just long enough to register another build-up of pressure, right before it popped, causing another explosion to take her.
Firespot had been surprised when he heard Alpha suddenly cry out and spray his dick with some sort of liquid. So enthralled with rutting her he was, that it took a moment for him to realize he’d just made her cum! That liquid was her juices!
Feeling proud of himself he began to rut as fast as he could, trying to push himself over the edge, occasionally feeling another climax wracking her body below him. Each scream of joy she gave with each orgasm spurred him further. So close… he was so so close…
Neither of them knew how much longer it took, but eventually, Firespot felt his dick begin to twitch and shudder out of control. With one last aggressive cry and thrust, he rammed into her, finally feeling his body breakthrough its threshold. Feeling his own mind numb, he felt the first wave of foal batter push inside her. It felt like trying to insert into her a water balloon of jizz, and even then it wasn’t over as spurt after spurt pumped into her.
Alphabittle had already been reduced to mush as climax after climax had begun to hit her, so she barely registered that he was filling her with his seed, and only then she was able to because her body was able to recognize that something wonderful and warm was being pumped into her waiting womb.
The magic of the moment likely only lasted a few seconds, but to her it may as well have been an hour. She had no idea when they stopped, but eventually she began to feel not just the feeling in her body begin to return, but the feeling in her mind as well.
Firespot was nestled atop of her, his wings embracing them both as he rested, his dick still buried inside her snatch, not that she minded. She was ever glad she put up that closed sign earlier because there was no way she was dealing with any more work today.
She knew that at some point they’d have to move. They’d have to get up and clean themselves off, as well as whatever surfaces they’d ruined in her tea shop, but that was for later. Much later.
Right now she just wanted to remain pressed against her friend like this. Snuggled under him for as long as she could. Tomorrow she’d begin to deal with what this might mean, and what they should do now. Tomorrow she’d have the talk about what they just did and how and if it’d change their relationship.
Still that wasn’t for now. All that could wait until tomorrow. Right now she is an exhausted and content mare, and for right now? That was fine.

Two Months later
“And done!” A rather beautiful gray unicorn mare cried as she slammed down the puzzle box she had been working on.
“Dagnabit!” Greyscale cried slamming his own uncompleted puzzle box on the counter. The gray stallion sighed and flicked his now bright blue mane out of his eyes.
“Sorry hun, but you know the rules.” The mare childe. “Not only am I not obliged to fulfill that little request of yours, but you gotta either order a cup of tea or one of our new pastries!”
“Yeah yeah,” the stallion grumbled as he placed a few coins upon the countertop. “I guess I’ll take one of those dough sticks with the cinnamon.”
The mare smiled and scooped up the change as she walked over to a small heated container that kept the said delicacy in it. According to Izzy who had given her the idea for them, they were called ‘churros’ though try as she might, she couldn’t get Izzy to tell her where that name came from.
“Here you go sweetie.” She said passing it over with her magic. Greyscale grabbed it in his own magical aura before frowning dejected.
“I’m going to get that kiss from you one of these days Achroite.”
“There’s always next time!” Achrote said with a giggle as she went back to clearing her bar. She had worried that her sudden change to a mare would have more fallout, but it seemed like most of the town had come around rather quickly.
It had been a bit weird for those first two weeks, sure. It had also taken a lot of work to convince her roly-poly staff that she was their boss just in a much sexier package, but they eventually accepted her.
In that time she had not only tripled her clientele, upon many of the stallions finding out her little cafe was now run by a beautiful mare, but she’d also managed to incorporate some food onto the menu. Just a few pastries for now, but she was thinking of finally hiring a couple of mares to help her cook. Before as Alphabittle Blossomforth she hadn’t had much luck getting staff as her reputation as the large challenge-loving stallion had likely scared many possible employees off. Misty Trails, one of her regulars, didn’t help matters either. Given her flirtatious nature with any mare that took her fancy.
As Achrote Bloomforth however, that deterrent had vanished, and for better or for worse, Misty was too interested in scoring with her to go after anypony else. What’s more, ponies weren’t exactly afraid of a beautiful mare, even if said mare still liked a good challenge. Of course, now, most of her challenges were of stallions that either wanted a kiss or a date. Or whatever Misty might want. She supposed she didn’t mind too much. After all, she hadn’t lost a game yet.
Still, given what she found out yesterday, she really needed to have a talk with the one stallion who had bested her.
As if on cue she heard the door open and said pegasus stallion strode in. If things had changed for Achorte, things had certainly changed for Firespot. Even now every mare’s eyes, hers included, shot his way, drinking in his visage.
Achrote doubted there was a single mare around that hadn’t fancied dreaming of a night with him. Probably a few of the married ones as well. Yet Firespot had made it very clear he wasn’t about to betray his marefriend. A marefriend he never went into detail about, but she knew very well it was her he was thinking of. The thought still made her so warm inside.
“Hey there, stud.” She called to him as she trotted over. She absently pulled her ponytail of a mane infront of her to show off the purple ribbon that kept it tied. A gift from him last week.
“Hello yourself beautiful.” He shot back with a grin. He marveled at just how true that statement was. She was truly beautiful, but not just in body or style. He found everything about her beautiful. Her eyes, her laugh, even the way she slept. Most of all he found her new outgoing and rather feminie personality beautiful.
He loved every moment he got to spend with her.
“So how’s the storm flying?” She asked as she made a cup of lemon zest tea with honey.
“Amazing as always.” He shot back with a smile. “With this body they’re no longer a problem to navigate.”
“Glad to hear it.” She fluttered her eyelashes as she pushed his cup toward him. “I think my former maleness looks good on you.” She winked.
“Can’t say I’m not fond of it.” He repeated, taking a zip of his tea. “But that does remind me. I recently heard from Sunny!”
He didn’t seem to notice the odd expression on Achorte’s face as he said that. “Oh?”
He nodded. “Yeah, so… um hate to say it but she’s convinced the scale is a lost cause at fixing this. She says the only likely solution is to find another artifact that can alter bodies. She says she had Queen Haven and her daughters sweeping their kingdom for anything that might have begun working again. Which means you’re likely stuck that way a bit longer.”
He waited for her response. Ever since that night things had been confusing for the both of them. He’d do what he could to help her, though they both tried to avoid going to bed together again. Still whatever connection they had forged that night hadn’t gone away. As the weeks crawled on, they both found themselves flirting with each other, along with the occasional peck on the cheek or touch. He still very much wanted to help her return to normal. He didn’t really want to see the mare before him vanish, but it was his duty to help her. This was what he had to do.
“Hey Firespot?” Achorte’s said, waving toward her critters to do something. “Can you give Sunny and them a message for me if you see them first?”
“Oh uh sure what is it?”
One of her critters scurried up with a box on its back, apparently what she had told it to bring.
“Can you tell her I’m not going back to being a stallion? Like ever?”
Firespot was about to retort, when he saw Achorte’s magic envelope the box and open it. Revealing a single white strip that had a bright red plus on it. He simply stood there frozen staring at the pregnancy test laying there, before his eyes slowly rose to face her.
There she stood, looking as radiant as ever, with a very healthy blush.
“Y-You?”
She nodded. “And you. I never did that again after that night. So uh you were the only one.” She quickly closed the box so as to not alert the other patrons, though her eyes never left his own.
“Though given the circumstances, I’m very open to more of those nights between us… A-And I wouldn’t mind some help with uh… future residents” She gently rubbed her belly.
Maybe a couple of months ago, Firespot would have hesitated or stressed over this news, but not now. With one swift motion, he leaned forward and kissed her, hard and deep. A kiss that while it surprised her, she eagerly gave back just as strong.
“Hey no fair! Why does he get a kiss?” They heard Greyscale yell from somewhere, but neither paid him much mind. Instead, they enjoyed the moment. Had they looked around though, they may have noticed the many jealous looks they got.
Finishing the kiss, Firespot took her hoof in his and held it tightly. “Achorte Bloomforth, will you marry me?”
She felt her heart flutter. “Only if you can put up with me still letting ponies challenge me for a kiss here and there.”
“I guess I can live with that,” Firespot replied to the cheers of many stallions. He wasn’t happy about the idea of his future wife making out with other stallions, but it was just her nature to accept such challenges. Besides, they’d have to beat her first.
“Can you live with being a sexy little wife and future mother of my foals?”
Achorte grinned.
“Sounds like a challenge!”
Author's Note
Generic cover as oddly enough there aren't really any Rule 63 pictures of Alphabittle. Who could have guess? ^^;
The rule 63 name comes from the one pic there is, though it's not one I feel fits the fic for a cover pic.
Well this was a dumb idea I got from watching the new movie. I'm not sure if anyone might actually think it, but just to be clear. There is no more of this coming. This is it. This is all I'm writing of this idea.
Also I think I'm the first one to write genderbending smut for the new movie. Go me.
Edit: Fun Facts!
Lemon Zest with Honey tea. This is like the only tea I ever drink. Used mainly when I'm sick or have a sore throat. Otherwise I don't drink it. Never been a tea or coffee person.
Those little armadillo things that Alphabittle has. So I got about halfway through writing this when it dawned on me that those were a thing, and I hadn't mentioned them. So I had to make the quick excuse they were on vacation or something.
I did watch the scene of Sunny and them in the Crystal Tea Room to remind myself of certain things it had, and how Alphabittle presented himself while writing this. As such I had to fix a few things on the dance game. Such as I actually just called it "Prance Prance Revolution" at first before I saw that wasn't its name at all in the movie.
If anyone is interested in drawing Alphabittle as a sexy mare, I'm willing to pay for a commission.
The one rule 63 pic we have of Alphabittle had them with said ribbon in her mane, so I decided to incorporate it in her look here.
This was another random RP idea that I ended up deciding to turn into a story. I just really liked the idea of Alphabittle betting his stallionness to another and losing, becoming a mare. Then of course I had to have sexy times after that. ^^;
