Mistress's Downfall

Applejack screamed as hard as she could, so loud that her throat hurt. It was all true...Granny...Big Mac...even Applebloom...None of them were real! She felt tears streaming down her freckled cheeks...She just couldn't handle it.

Having gone through the first two stages of grief, her mind started working on the third. Bargaining. Maybe there was some way to make them real? Maybe...maybe there was! After all, SHE was real! And from what Twilight said, that wasn't always the case! If SHE could be real, then she knew her friends and family could be real too!

Her mood went from sad to hysterical as she started laughing and crying at the same time, knowing what she had to do! She just had to find out how she was 'created' or somethin'! And then do the same thing, but for all her friends and family! She rushed back inside the bunker, hoping that Rarity wouldn't be too mad at her for knocking her down like that...

She found Rarity talking with Twilight, the latter lookin' all shimmery and see-through. "Hey! Ah'm uh...sorry about before." Applejack sheepishly apologized.

Rarity and Twilight both let out a sigh of relief. They were discussing contingency plans for how to imprison Applejack if they had to, and were now both very glad that it probably wouldn't be needed. Rarity walked up to Applejack and hugged her, their boobs squishing together.

Applejack pushed Rarity off of her after a moment. "Heh-heh, okay, okay, c'mon Rarity. Ah think we both got stuff we need to say here."

Rarity had tears in her eyes. "We heard your scream up there...I cannot express how sorry I am for erasing you, Jack...And yes, I know you have no memory of him. I'm just apologizing to him because I don't know what else to say..."

Applejack gave Rarity a sad smile. "Oh Rarity...Ah know ya didn't mean to. Also, thanks for tellin' me this was because of somethin' you did. Ah was about to ask who made me 'real', ya know?"

Rarity frowned at Applejack's phrasing. "Oh my...there really is nothing left of him in there, is there? I just don't understand...Twilight, do you have any idea how my spell got so out of hand?"

Twilight frowned in thought. "Well...based on my records of Mistress's magic, the only logical explanations are either that you made a mistake, or that he encouraged this to happen somehow. I didn't watch him change for privacy reasons, but I did listen. He seemed to be really enjoying it right up until he forgot who he was..."

Applejack tilted her head in confusion. "Ah'm sorry, but who's 'Mistress'? Is that...you Rarity? Or who ya were before?"

"Ah, yes! I am, or was, Mistress! And unlike you, I actually remember being her! I should be able to transform myself back to normal in a few days, but I'm afraid the same can't be said for you...With nothing to anchor to, and no backup of him, Jack is essentially gone. If I were to try and bring him back, I would in effect be killing you..." Rarity finished with a downcast look on her face.

"Uh huh...well, Ah'm Applejack now. And Ah want my family. And Ah know you have the power to make that happen." Applejack glared at Rarity, as if daring her to deny her request.

Rarity gasped, having not expected that! "Y-You want me to do what!? But...I cannot just create life out of nothing! I'd need a living victim to transform! And I doubt I could find anyone who would want to become your family, especially an old lady like Granny Smith...Er, no offense to her of course!"

Applejack frowned. "Ah need my family...but Ah don't wanna erase someone else just to get them. What do you reckon we can do?"

Rarity sighed, not really having an answer...then she remembered the bimbos! They were practically brainless anyway! Surely Mistress wouldn't mind parting with a few of them...then again, maybe she would. "I'm afraid I don't really have an answer, but...Mistress might! Once I am able to turn back, I'm sure she'd be willing to help you! In the meantime, you at least have a few friends to keep you company here!"

Applejack didn't like the idea of being stuck on some island, especially in a bunker. "Yeah...could we maybe go somewhere else? Ah never really liked being underground..."

Rarity sighed again, agreeing with Applejack. Being trapped underground was awful..."While I do agree that these circumstances are less than ideal, I'm afraid we are contagious. Just a single touch will cause anyone who isn't already...like us, to transform into a character from the show. We musn't leave until I or Mistress is able to make it safe to be around us."

"Oh...boy howdy, Mistress really messed up this spell, huh? Are you sure it's not gonna, ya know, spread all by itself?" Applejack asked with legitimate concern.

Rarity was going to say no at first, but then she realized something. Mistress had no idea this was possible in the first place! Who's to say it wouldn't spread on its own, given enough time? "I...certainly hope not. But I don't know for certain."

"So uh...what now? You said we gotta wait a few days, right? What've you been doin' to pass the time?" Applejack asked, leaning against the cold metal wall.

Twilight decided to pitch in. "I suggest we get all five of us together! It would be a good way to break the ice and get everyone more comfortable. I even have a fun game in mind~..."

Applejack looked to her left, then to her right. She carefully considered her options...

"Never have Ah ever, worn a corset." Applejack made her choice.

"Oh dear..." Rarity said with an annoyed look on her face as she lowered her hand. "That hardly seems fair!"

Pinkie grinned at Rarity's plight, her hand still raised, along with everyone else's. "Oh c'mon Rarity! No need to be a sourpuss!"

Rarity stared at her friends in shock! "Really? None of you have ever worn a corset? Not even one time?"

Fluttershy looked a little embarrassed. "Um...they just seem so uncomfortable...not to mention embarrassing..."

"I never even thought of wearing one! Plus, I'm a computer, so..." Twilight felt a little guilty playing the 'I'm a computer' card, but the whole point of the game was to win, right?

Rarity sighed as her virtual shirt was removed, revealing the lacy purple bra underneath! "My turn!" Rarity considered her options for getting back at Applejack for that cheap shot..."Never have I ever...gone more than 3 days without bathing!"

Applejack facepalmed. "You did that on purpose, didn't ya?" Applejack felt her green crop-top vanish. "Apple farmin' is hard work! Sometimes Ah just don't have the time to get clean..."

Rarity gave Applejack a teasing grin. "Oh come now Applejack! You knew for a fact that I wear corsets all the time, it seems only fair that I -" "Got it~!" Pinkie said, having finally gotten her jacket off past her hair!

Rarity was surprised! Why would Pinkie not bathe for that long? "Pinkie? Really? Why ever would you not keep yourself clean?"

"Sometimes I party so hard, I forget to clean up after!" Pinkie was only a little embarrassed. "Like, there was this one time at Sugarcube Corner, I had 8 parties in a row! *Giggle*! Boy, that was crazy..."

They were all of course allowed to use their 'fake' memories as well, since it wouldn't be much of a game otherwise.

"Well, I guess technically I don't need to bathe, but I'll take my shirt off anyway! Wouldn't want to be left out after all!" Twilight said with a blush on her digital face, already enjoying the kinky game~...

"I wanna go next!" Pinkie said excitedly! "Never have I ever, opened a Hearths Warming present early!"

"Oh come on!"
"*Groan*..."
"Oh no..."
"Well, there was one time..."

"*GASP*! All of you!?" Pinkie was aghast at this horrifying news!

"It was when I was a little girl..." Rarity said dramatically as her panties were revealed for all to see! "I just couldn't help myself!"

"Ah swear it was an accident!" Applejack said defensively as the rest of her top was removed, leaving only a bra to cover her! "Ah tripped on it, and it opened!"

"Um...I..." Fluttershy was embarrassed as her shirt vanished, revealing her modest bra. "I-It was a poor kitty trapped in a box! I couldn't just leave her in there!"

Twilight blushed as her bra came off, lewdly exposing her nipples to her friends~..."I could tell it was a new book, and I just had to read it...Plus, Spike and I have a tradition to open one present early, but I don't know if that really counts."

Pinkie couldn't believe it...All of her friends broke the most important rule of Hearths Warming! "Wow...you think you know someone..."

Twilight happily raised her hand, knowing exactly what to say! "I'll go next! Never have I ever, needed to use a calculator to solve an equation." Nailed it.

"Welp, bye bye shirt~!"
"Okay, this is getting ridiculous!"
"Dagnabbit..."
"Not again..."

Twilight watched as all of her friends lost more articles of clothing~..."Why am I not surprised?"

"Only when I was younger!" Rarity felt like that wasn't entirely fair!

"You ARE a calculator, Ah call shenanigans!" Applejack knew that wasn't entirely fair!

"Don't be a party pooper, Applejack~!" Pinkie didn't care that it wasn't entirely fair!

"Um...c-can I go now?" Fluttershy wasn't entirely sure she liked this game...

"But of course! You don't need to ask permission, dear!" Rarity was simultaneously saddened and amused that Fluttershy felt the need to ask permission to take her turn...

"O-Oh...okay...um..." Trying her best to suppress her anxiety, Fluttershy raised her hand. "N-Never have I ever, sang in the shower." She looked around at her friends, but none of them had put their hands down..."Um...isn't this the part where one of you...?"

"Ah sing in the shower all the time."
"Me too!"
"I don't shower exactly, but I do clean my files, and sometimes I sing while I do, so..."
"I've done it a few times."

Fluttershy felt her heart drop right into her stomach..."Oh no...th-that means...!"

Fluttershy's hands flew to cover her breasts just as her bra vanished! She just couldn't take this anymore! "Um...c-can we play something else, please? I-I'm not really enjoying this...!"

Rarity suddenly felt very stupid. "Oh, of course dear! We don't want to make you uncomfortable!" Of course this would make Fluttershy uncomfortable! What was she thinking!?

"Aww..."
"Pinkie!"
"Whoops! Sorry!"

Still clad in just her boots and underwear, Applejack tried her best to help Fluttershy relax. "It's fine Fluttershy, we'll just do somethin' else! Who wants to play poker?"

"Ooh, could we play strip poker~?"
"Pinkie...!"
"Whoops, sorry!"
