“So, um…is this good, Mrs. Cake?” Cozy Glow asked, holding out a bowl of cookie dough.

Mrs. Cake scooped up a bit with a small spatula, licking some of it up. “Mmm! It’s more than good! It’s the perfect amount of sweet for this batch!”

“Ooh, really?” Cozy’s eyes sparkled with wonder at Mrs. Cake’s praise.

“Really! These will make wonderful cookies! I’m certain the customers will love them!”

Cozy Glow beamed with pride. “Golly, I sure hope so!”

Mrs. Cake started putting the cookie dough onto the baking tray. “I’m really grateful that you volunteered to help me out today. It makes the day go by a little quicker with some extra hooves!”

“Aww, you know,” Cozy blushed. “You’re usually so busy working here all day, and I know you could definitely do this all by yourself, but I figure I could do what I can to make life a little easier for you!”

“Well, you certainly did!” Mrs. Cake giggled, putting the tray into the oven. “This should be the last thing to bake for today! Wow, we’re done much earlier than I thought! I almost don’t know what to do with the extra time!” she exclaimed, wiping off some sweat as she looked at the clock.

“You could always have Pinkie run the store and take Mr. Cake out somewhere nice!” Cozy suggested, grabbing a towel to clean up the excess food mess.

Mrs. Cake gasped in excitement. “Ooh, that’s a wonderful idea! It’s been forever since we’ve gone out! Oh, he’ll absolutely love it!”

“You know that thing where Thorax and Pharynx transformed into you and Mina and started having sex with each other?” Cozy asked.

Ember immediately raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms. “Wait, how do you know about that?”

“Uhhh…” Cozy’s eyes darted from side to side. “Just…heard about it from a friend, don’t worry about it!”

“Uh-huh…”

“Point is, you and Mina could totally double date with Thorax and Pharynx, they’d probably love that!”

Ember pursed her lip in contemplative thought, thinking about what it’d be to double date with Mina. “Hmm…I guess I could see it happening…”

“Plus, you could totally hard-dom Pharynx later! Y’know, after the month is over with Mina,” Cozy added.

Now that was something to sway Ember’s mind. The idea that she could find someone to take all the rough stuff gave the dragon lord some devious ideas. She started smirking and chuckling to herself, already thinking up some scenarios. “Interesting…”

“Yeah, you can do all the rough stuff you wanna do but you’re too scared will hurt Thorax!”

“Alright, how do you know about that?”

“Uh…lucky guess?”

“Hmm…I’ll give it some thought, Cozy…but it does sound like an opportunity to do some things I’d love to do!” Ember grinned.

“Heeeey, there you are, Cozy!”

Cozy Glow looked up to see Silverstream dropping down from overhead.

The hippogriff put her claws on the mare’s shoulders and excitedly shook her. “I just wanted to thank you so much! The last few nights with Sandbar and Yona have been AMAAAAAZING!”

“Heh, you’ve really been getting your use out of those things, huh?” On the outside, Cozy was smiling, on the inside, she was lamenting the damages that were possibly done with all her stuff.

“Oh yeah! At first I thought we’d all be jealous of Gallus, Smolder, and Ocellus, but this is like, waaaaay more fun than just waiting for a whole month! I kinda wish we did it all sooner. Oooh! We should all just do this instead next year!”

Cozy chuckled nervously. “Well, if ya do that, it wouldn’t be as special, ya know? Plus I don’t think Sandbar’s gonna have the stamina.”

“Mmm, maybe you’re right,” Silverstream giggled. “Still! I wanna thank you so much! It wouldn’t have been nearly as fun without them! When did you want them back?”

“Eh, any time in December’s fine. Who knows? Maybe you’ll be making the other three jealous!” Cozy smirked.

“Awesoooome! You’re the best, Cozy!” Silverstream picked her up and spun her around in circles with pure horny delight.

“...A-And make sure to wash them all before you give it back…Please.”

“You! I found you!”

Cozy turned her head to see Limestone Pie making her way towards her. She almost didn’t recognize the mare at first, considering she had an actual, genuine smile on her face.

“There you are, Cozy Glow. I’ve been taking your advice, and…I think me and Gilda are actually dating now!” Limestone said, letting out a small laugh in disbelief of what she just said.

“Well, congratulations! What made it feel official to you?”

“I took your advice, and…I started taking her to places I think she’d like, and I think she was pretty happy. But today, she surprised me by getting us tickets to a Wonderbolts show! And like, I didn’t think I’d care that much, but…I was just…happy to be with her.” she explained, her cheeks getting redder as she explained herself.

“Aaaand speaking of Wonderbolts, guess who I have to thank for helping me snag one of my own?”

Zephyr flew down in the middle of their conversation, immediately putting a hoof around the other pegasus.

“Cozy, you are a GENIUS! I mean, I gave Rainbow Dash that gift just like you suggested, and she was starstruck!” Zephyr cleared his throat, speaking with sincerity. “Just…thank you, you really helped me out.”

“Yeah,” Limestone nodded, not even annoyed that Zephyr butted himself in. “I don’t know what I’d do without you.”

As Cozy confidently strutted through Ponyville, she heard another voice call her name, and it was one she was kinda hoping she’d go the whole month not hearing.

“Cozy Glow? Do you have a moment?”

Cozy’s fur stood on end, frozen in shock. She took a deep breath, swallowed her pride, and turned around. “Hiya Princess Twilight! Can I help you with something?”

Twilight shook her head. “I just wanted to talk. I’ve been hearing from others that you’ve been speaking with them, is that true?”

“Um…y-yeah?” Despite the innocent grin she put on, a drip of sweat went down the side of Cozy’s head.

Twilight’s concerned look quickly turned to a smile. “Well, that’s great! They’ve been telling me all about how much you’ve been helping them out!”

“Oh…!” Cozy felt a huge weight lift off her. “They’ve been talking about me?”

“Yep! It seems you’ve been really helpful lately! I’m glad to see you making some friends after all!”

“Well, it turns out that helping out has got a great payoff!” Cozy grinned. Her words were partially true, she did feel that weird warm fuzzy feeling inside when they were showering her with compliments, but…

Chrysalis stopped in place, her brow furrowing in worry. Something felt wrong, she just couldn’t place exactly why. All she knew is that the closer she got to her house, the more her heart sank in her chest.

Her concerned trot turned into a full-blown sprint, racing to her home to try and right whatever wrong awaited her.

But all she found was Cozy Glow. In her house. Again.

“Heya, Chryssie!” Cozy casually greeted while lounging on her couch. She waved around the bag she was carrying with her. “Wanna cookie? Don’t worry, these ones are actually mine for once.”

Chrysalis instantly shifted to annoyance, but the terrible feeling in her chest wouldn’t go away. “Why are you here?”

“Aw, don’t be like that! Can’t I just pay a friend a visit?” Cozy fluttered her eyelashes, still playing cute and innocent.

Chrysalis took a step towards her and snarled. “Even if I wanted you over, I would have to be home first in order for you to visit-” a gasp left the changeling’s lips without her knowing it. She backed away, now looking at her in fear.

“Y-You…W-What is this?” There was an unmistakable aura coming off of Cozy Glow. A powerful sensation that made her weak in the knees just to be near.

Cozy barely held back her smug grin and watched Chrysalis tremble with big, innocent eyes. “What? Why are you backing away? Didn’t you wanna get closer and give me a big ol’ hug to show how much you love me?

“No…! Get away!” Chrysalis felt herself sweating bullets as a chill washed over her entire body. “What did you DO?!”

“What, me? I did exactly what I promised! I didn’t do anything bad at all this month!” Cozy explained as she stood up. “In fact, I did a whole bunch of good things for others!”

Cozy stepped off the couch, taking only a single step towards Chrysalis. “And you know what? It actually felt really nice! All of them were really grateful for my help! You might even say they…loved it…”

Even the word “love” coming out of Cozy’s lips made Chrysalis shudder. “No…you? B-But…!” What the pegasus was confessing to sounded nearly impossible to imagine Cozy doing, and yet Chrysalis couldn’t exactly deny the results. She was already dripping between her hind legs.

“Well, I did a lot more than lend my hoof to a few errands!” Cozy chuckled, taking another step forward. “Some of them were feeling a little lonely, ya know? And lemmie tell ya, they were super happy when I helped hook them up! Good thing too, especially with the orgy coming up, there’s gonna be plenty of love going around…”

Chrysalis fell onto her knees, too overwhelmed by Cozy’s aura of love to stand up. “Get…back…!”

Of course Cozy took another step forward. “Just imagine all those new happy couples you’ll be with in December!”

The closer Cozy got, the more love and lust Chrysalis could feel radiating off of the pegasus. Unable to control herself, she was drooling and panting on the floor. She could practically taste the love right in front of her.

Without thinking, her hoof went between her legs. “I…I…” Her last attempt at begging faded away as she closed her eyes, rubbing herself slowly with the tip of her hoof. “Hnnngh…”

“Did you know that Limestone Pie and Gilda just went on a date today? All because of me!” Cozy added, just to drive it home. “Oh, and I also helped Mrs. Cake get a nice night out with her husband, so…”

Chrysalis was barely listening to a thing Cozy said, already lost in a haze of lust. Cozy’s mere presence already did most of the work, Chrysalis had rubbed her hoof up and down her vulva for only a minute before she climaxed from the overwhelming feelings. She opened her eyes and smiled at Cozy, far too giddy to be furious.

The next potion bottle at Zecora’s hut shattered, making another messy stain as the others began to witness a changeling love overload.

Babs Seed returned back to reality from the vision she just saw, immediately hollering in joy. “Dayum, you go, girl!”

Twilight pursed her lip. On the one hoof, Cozy using others for her gain did leave a bad taste in her mouth. On the other hoof, despite the ulterior motive, she did actually help out a lot. Making Chrysalis suffer like that was also a nice bonus.

Ocellus covered her mouth with her hooves, trying to hold back her anguished screams. Thankfully she was already in her dorm room, so she could easily jump into bed and muffle her frustrations into her pillow.

As Chrysalis lay defeated, Cozy lifted up her chin and smirked. “Golly, turns out doing good does make you feel good sometimes!” The crafty pegasus munched on a cookie before leaving. “Tastes pretty darn sweet, too!”
