A couple days had passed without much incident. Rarity did her best to keep her building sex drive under control by casting lust dampening spells on herself, Twilight was of course still overjoyed at her newfound intelligence, and Pinkie was easily entertained by videogames. However, with all the chaos going on, Rarity had completely forgotten about another 'playdate' with one of her other friends...

Logan was a heavyset young man aged 24. He had short brown hair, pale skin and brown eyes. For clothing he wore a large red T-shirt and dark grey button up jacket, with a key-shaped necklace from one of his favorite videogames. On his legs he wore baggy jean shorts, white socks, and black shoes.

He had finally arrived at the island home of his 'bro' Mistress. That was a sort of 'in' joke between the two of them, since he's the only one who knows that Mistress was once a man. Not that Logan had ever seen Mistress when she was a dude, she had just confided in him shortly after they became friends.

Walking up to the entrance to Mistress's home, he didn't even consider that it was odd that the door was already slightly ajar. Nor did he find it odd that the usual sound of distant girly moans was absent from the halls...
Reaching inside his backpack, Logan pulled out his newly purchased copy of 'Moondrop Canyon', a more mature spinoff of 'Stardew Valley'! He was excited to play it, having seen some pretty good reviews of it online!

He called out for Mistress. "Hey bro! I got that new game, Moondrop Canyon! Wanna pla - " he was interrupted by a high pitched shriek of joy! "EEEEEE! NEW FRIEND!" "Pinkie no!"

"HOLY - !" is all Logan could say as he saw a multicolored blur speeding towards him! Before it could touch him though, a light blue glow enveloped it, bringing it to a halt mere inches from his face!

Pinkie blinked in confusion, frozen in mid air. "Huh? Hey, what gives?"

Rarity marched up behind her with an angry look on her face, arm still outstretched and hand glowing the same light blue that now surrounded Pinkie. "We are still contagious, Pinkie! I'll not have you spreading your, *ahem*, eccentricities like that."

Logan looked at the scene in front of him in confusion. Instead of Mistress or Coco, he had been 'greeted' by two technicolor girls, one white and purple and the other pink and pinker! "What the heck is this? Who are you two!?"

After glaring at an ashamed Pinkie Pie for a moment, Rarity turned to face her dear, and quite fortunate friend. "Logan, darling! I'm terribly sorry about that! I'm afraid Pinkie is still learning the proper meaning of personal space." Indeed, had she been even one second slower, Logan would be turning into another Pinkie clone! Or possibly something even worse, considering that she had likely altered the nature of Pinkie's spell as well...

Pinkie pouted. "Hey! I was just trying to give my new friend a hug!"

For his part, Logan looked at the multicolored women in confusion. How did the white one know his name? And why did they both look a little...familiar...? "Uummmm.....did I miss something? Coco? Where is your owner?" Surely Coco could explain whatever this was, right?

Rarity considered how she should respond to this situation. She HAD to be careful to NOT touch him, or let Pinkie touch him! That last thing she needed was more problems to fix..."Umm...Coco is..."

Twilight, who had been quietly observing the situation, decided it was time to step in! "Come on Rarity! He looks so confused!"

Logan looked around, even more confused. He didn't recognize that voice, but at the same time, it sounded really familiar...

Twilight's hologram materialized from the ceiling, an annoyed look already forming on her face! "Ugh, fine! I'll explain it to him!"

Logan had to be seeing things! "I knew there was something wrong with Bessy's milk..."

All three girls blushed, but Pinkie giggled and said, "I like him, he's silly~!" Rarity promptly facepalmed.

Really getting impatient now, but also feeling sorry for Logan, Twilight tried her best to explain. "Logan, listen to me. I know this will sound crazy, but I AM Coco! Also, Rarity is Mistress, and Pinkie is -" "IwasDavidbeforebutthatwassooooboringsoI - MMMF!"

Rarity quickly clamped Pinkie's mouth shut with her magic, an annoyed look on her face. She'd had quite enough of this foolishness. "Pinkie used to be David, I used to be Mistress, and Twilight used to be Coco."

Logan, of course, didn't believe Rarity, who he had finally remembered as being from that one pony TV show for little girls. It took a full 15 minutes of talking back and forth between all 4 of them for him to be convinced of her true identity.

Now that Logan understood the situation, he was reasonably concerned for his safety. "Ummmm, are you three planning to 'convert' me or something?"

Rarity was taken aback! Did her own friend really think so lowly of her!? "Oh, goodness no! Certainly not without your consent! Honestly, I'm almost offended that you'd even accuse me of something like that..."

Of course, Pinkie had to lend credence to his fears, by again whining about not being able to hug him. Hmph. Maybe Rarity HAD made some mistakes with her personality. The real Pinkie Pie would never be so thick headed...right?

Twilight, being the most rational of the three of them, decided to try and let Pinkie down gently. "Pinkie, it's okay! Logan knows you like him! ...Isn't that right, Logan?" she finished, giving Logan what she hoped he would interpret as a hint. According to her files on him, he could be a little slow on the uptake sometimes.

If that wasn't enough to get through to him, Pinkie's trademark 'sad-face' definitely got through! Logan quickly reassured her that he liked her, without touching her of course.

"Weeellll...okay! *Giggle*!" and just like that, Pinkie was back to her cheerful self.

Logan breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay then...Wanna try Moondrop Canyon? It's got a co-op mode!" he asked, hoping to get some semblance of normalcy restored.

Rarity grimaced. "Well, I'm sorry to say, as Rarity my tastes have changed..." She had tried on several occasions to get into (well, back into) playing videogames, but she just didn't like them anymore. She really had messed herself up, hadn't she...

"You know what? No. No! You are still my dear friend, and I refuse to let a bungled spell get in the way of that! I shall play Moondrop Canyon with you! And if I really can't get into it, I'm sure -" "Oh! Oh! I wanna play after!" "...-Pinkie will want to play with you..."

Twilight had never heard of this game before, and while she may prefer books, she considered herself to be at least a decent gamer! "I wouldn't mind trying it out!" at the very least, being a computer program, she should be able to brute force competent gameplay!

Logan was happy to see that some spark of his friends were still in there! He almost started towards them, before catching himself! He took a step back and said, "Sweet! Hope you're into farming!"

If only Applejack were here... Rarity thought to herself. "First, we should set some ground rules! Number one, from here on out, Logan cannot be in the same room as myself or Pinkie! I'm sorry, but I don't know what I'd do if anything happened to you..."

"Hey, no complaints here! I don't wanna get ponified or anything!" Logan instinctively took another step back, not out of fear, but simple self preservation.

"Excellent! Second rule. Pinkie...as long as Logan is here, YOU have to stay in your room. No offense, but between the two of us, I think you are the most likely to accidentally touch him." Rarity said to Pinkie, the latter looking downcast.

"Aww...okay...Can we play more than just one game then? I'll go nuts in there with nothing to do!" Pinkie replied, looking hopeful.

Rarity looked conflicted. "Erm...while I can't promise I shall play more than one game, I'm sure Logan or even Twilight would be willing to keep you entertained! He'll only be staying the night, nothing more!"

With the rules set, the three humans and one A.I. went to their separate rooms, with varying degrees of excitement. Hopefully this would just be a fun evening of gaming and chatting...

Luckily, everything went well! As she expected, Rarity quickly got bored, having to force herself to finish just the first game. She left after that, leaving Logan, Pinkie and Twilight to play various games. Several hours later, Logan was getting ready for bed...

Logan settled into the girly bed, no doubt redone by Rarity to fit her new tastes in decor.
That was surprisingly fun! It was so nice of them to let me stay the night...especially since 'Rarity' is worried about me getting 'infected' by her.

Logan slowly drifted off to sleep, unaware of the gentle pink glow slowly enveloping his body...

Logan found himself floating in a black void...
"Huh? Where am I?"

Suddenly, a giant eye opened up in the darkness and started staring at him...!
"Uhhh...Hi?"

Several more eyes appeared around him, scaring him a little! In his mind's eye, his eyes were now larger and turquoise instead of brown...
"Can you...please look away now?"

Over a dozen more huge eyes appeared all around him, every which-way he looked, he saw a staring eye...!
"Aaaahhh!!! Get away!!! Please!!!"
"NO!!!"

Logan shut his large turquoise eyes, completely terrified! But when he finally opened them again, the eyes were all gone, leaving nothing but darkness behind....
"Huh...? Wh-Where'd they go?"

Ha-ha-ha!
"Aah...! Oh...! You startled me..."

As Logan looked at the laughing mouth that had suddenly appeared, his outfit changed color in his mind's eye, now a soft pink top, and leaf green pants...

*Giggle*!
"Whaa-!? Um...wh-what's so funny?"

As the two mouths continued laughing, Logan's outfit changed again, the soft pink top shrinking and exposing his large belly. His hair also turned a gentle pink and grew out slightly. Logan continued to remain completely unaware of his changes...

Ahahaha!
"A-Are you laughing at me...?"

As more and more mouths appeared and started laughing, Logan's pink hair slowly grew down his back. His voice had also become soft and feminine, almost timid...

Baahahaha!
"Please stop it...!"

As the laughter grew louder and louder, Logan's pink hair grew out even longer! He didn't even register that it was odd that he could hide behind his bangs...

"Why are you laughing at me!?"
Logan dropped to his knees...
"*Sob*...! S-Stop laughing at me...!"
Logan curled up into a ball and began crying...

A butterfly flew in from nowhere and gently landed on her nose...
"Oh...!" Logan went cross-eyed as she tried to look at the butterfly on her smaller nose...

Suddenly, it started raining flowers! Everywhere a flower landed, a patch of grass formed. Soon, Logan found herself in a flowery meadow under a blue sky...
"I hope my allergies don't start acting up..." little did she know, her allergy to pollen was already a thing of the past...

As she looked around, her face gained some subtle makeup. Nowhere near enough to look slutty or anything, but it brought her face out of cute territory, and straight into adorable...
"Well...this is better..." Logan laid down on the soft grass with a sigh~..."Muuuuuch better~...."

Logan's eyes fluttered closed as she enjoyed the pleasant smell of the flowers all around her...
Then, she was suddenly at the spa with Rarity. She adjusted to this new knowledge easily, at this point knowing she was just dreaming...

Just relax, darling~...let the spa work its magic on you~...

Logan smiled as she felt the masseuse working their magic on her face, making it feel soft and supple~...
Logan let out a soft groan of delight as the masseuse gently kneaded her rolls of fat, slowly tucking them away into nothingness~...
She had to suppress a moan of pleasure as the masseuse tended to her tender breasts, each rub causing them to swell just a bit larger, until they finally stopped at a large F-cup~...
Fluttershy giggled as the masseuse worked on her thigh muscles, her legs gradually becoming long and shapely~...

Fluttershy slowly woke up from her pleasant slumber, having accidentally kicked the blanket off of herself in her sleep.

"Oh my...what a lovely dream..." she didn't even notice her higher voice, the magic having done its job very well. There was barely anything left of Logan now...Stretching out on the bed, she felt nothing unusual about her body. Everything felt perfectly natural and normal. She got up to go brush her teeth, her dream still fresh in her mind...

She spotted a stranger in the bathroom with her! "Eeep...!" Fluttershy quickly ran back out of the bathroom, panicking for a moment.

She then carefully poked her head around the corner, and saw the stranger doing the same. "Oh, you startled me...um...who are...you?"

It suddenly dawned on her that the 'stranger' was copying her every move, and looked VERY familiar...! Everything clicked into place in her mind, she was...a GIRL!

"Oh...my...! Wh-What happened to me!?" Fluttershy looked down at her suddenly alien breasts, watching them heaving up and down faster and faster as she started to hyperventilate!

As if the magic had a sense of timing, it chose this exact moment to transform her outfit! "Oh...! Oh my gooodness...!" in a matter of seconds, she was wearing what she now recognized as Fluttershy's outfit...!

"I...I better find Rarity...!" Fluttershy rushed out of the bathroom, hoping Rarity wouldn't be mad at her...

To say that Rarity was horrified would be an understatement. Not only had Logan gotten infected despite having not even touched either of them, but he had become a completely different character! The implications of this were definitely NOT good...The spell had changed when Mistress panicked and forced herself to become a different character! Instead of turning everyone either of them touched into a clone of Pinkie, the spell was transforming people into anyone BUT Pinkie! Not only that, but apparently spending too much time in the same vicinity as them was enough as well!

As far as Twilight could tell, Logan's personality had been completely overwritten by Fluttershy, though much like Rarity and Pinkie, she still retained memories of her previous identity. What was most concerning for her was the fact that the spell acted all on its own, and perfectly re-created Fluttershy, without ANY external guidance...

Pinkie felt a strange combination of excitement and sadness. She was sad because Logan got infected even though Pinkie had tried sooo hard to keep it from happening. But she was also excited that Fluttershy was here now! But then again, Fluttershy looked so sad...

Fluttershy felt horrible...not because her friends kept calling her Logan, but because...Even though she could still remember what it was like being Logan, she...she felt happier as Fluttershy! Oh, she was such a horrible person!

It was Twilight who suggested they all take a little beach vacation inside cyberspace. Fluttershy took a little convincing, but eventually she agreed. And so we find the three girls in swim suits hanging out on a digital beach, idly chatting and trying their best to relax...Or rather, Pinkie and Rarity were doing all the chatting, while Fluttershy sullenly listened.

Finally, Rarity decided to address the issue directly. "Logan, do you want to talk...?"

'Logan' blushed and stood up, facing away from both of them. "I'm Fluttershy..."

Rarity strained to hear Logan's quiet muttering. "I'm sorry, what?" At least he was talking finally!

Fluttershy winced. "Um...m-my name is Fluttershy..."

Rarity frowned in concern for the well being of her friend... "Logan dear, I can't hear you..."

"MY NAME IS FLUTTERSHY!!!"
"Meeep...!" Fluttershy's hands flew to her mouth! Goodness, she didn't mean to shout!

At last, Rarity understood...At the moment, 'Logan' was essentially gone, just like Mistress was for her. "Oh, you poor dear...I feel just awful about this..."

Fluttershy rubbed at her arm awkwardly. "It's okay...It's not your fault..."

Rarity paid Pinkie no mind, focusing on her other friend who was clearly in distress. "But it IS my fault! I never should've let you stay! It was too dangerous! I take full responsibility for all of this..."

Pinkie just couldn't stand all this sadness anymore! Having ONE sad friend was bad enough, but TWO!? She had to do something! "C'mon, Rarity! You didn't know! Um...want some virtual cake?" as Pinkie finished speaking, a triple-decker cake appeared on the ground, courtesy of Twilight.

Choosing to ignore the cake, Rarity insisted, "But I should have known! Honestly, what is wrong with me!? Just the other day, Mistress idly compared herself to a GODDESS! And she blundered THIS BADLY!?"

Seeing that the conversation was beginning to devolve, Twilight interrupted. "Rarity, maybe I should talk to her? I might be able to keep my emotions in check a little better, you know?"

Rarity chose to ignore that jab. "Very well, Twilight. Do you mind if we stay?"

Twilight's avatar appeared in front of Fluttershy, startling her slightly! "Sure Rarity, that's fine with me. It's going to be okay, Fluttershy. Rarity didn't mean to change either, but she's doing fine!"

Rarity briefly considered Twilight's words. She supposed she was doing fine, better than fine even! Striking a slightly dramatic pose, Rarity said, "I'm doing fabulously, Fluttershy! I'm sure, after a brief adjustment period, you will too~!"

Oh, how could Fluttershy be so stupid!? "Um...it's not that..." her friends all thought that she was struggling with her identity! Well, in a way she kind of was...

Twilight, Rarity and Pinkie looked at her in surprise and confusion. Rarity spoke up after a moment, "Then...what ever is the matter, dear? I thought...well, nevermind what I thought."

After several seconds of hesitation, Fluttershy finally admitted the truth. "I...I think I might want to...stay like this..." Fluttershy squeezed her eyes shut in shame! "I'm so sorry! You must think I'm a terrible friend!"

Rarity was shocked at Fluttershy's words! "What!? Why would you think that!?" Rarity wasn't shocked at the fact that Logan wanted to stay as Fluttershy, although that was a little surprising. She was shocked that Fluttershy would think Rarity could be so heartless!

Fluttershy 'helpfully' explained her thinking. "You're not friends with me...You're friends with HIM!" Fluttershy started tearing up! "I-If I stay like this, you...*sob*...You lose him! I-I don't want -" Rarity had heard enough! "Fluttershy, stop!"

At least Rarity truly understood now. Fluttershy was worried that 'Mistress' wouldn't let her stay as she was...And as much as Rarity hated to admit it, Fluttershy had good reason to suspect that...Well, Rarity was going to put a stop to THAT way of thinking right here, right now!

"I have no right to tell you what to do with YOUR life! And I'm sure Mistress will feel the same way!" Rarity said, hands on her hips!

Fluttershy couldn't believe her ears! "B-But -" Rarity raised a finger and pointed directly at Fluttershy! "No buts! If you want to be Fluttershy, then that is who you will be!

Twilight and Pinkie both affirmed their agreement with Rarity's strong words! What kind of friends would they be if they didn't?

Fluttershy allowed herself a small smile. Maybe things wouldn't be as bad as she thought?
