Twilight came running out of the bathroom panicked and yelled out to everypony else.

“GIRLS SOMETHING HAPPENED TO ME!” Twilight shouted.

“Ugh… can you keep it down…” A male voice replied.

“Huh?” Twilight said when she saw a figure sit up from behind the couch.

Bearing the same rainbow mane and tail as Rainbow Dash.

“H-huh?!” Twilight backed away “Who are you?” Twilight demanded.

“What are you talking abou-” the rainbow stallion paused and coughed a little “Ugh, did the blast damage my throat or something? My voice sounds… deeper,” The rainbow stallion said.

“I asked who you are, why do you look like Rainbow Dash?!” Twilight said lighting his horn.

“What are you talking about? I’m Rainbow- Hang on who are you?” Rainbow said getting up.

Twilight noticed all the similar features this stallion possessed to Rainbow, save for the parts replaced by a studly male physique.

“I’m Twilight… wait a minute… if I woke up like this then…” Twilight paled “Oh no, you really are Rainbow Dash, and that also means-” Twilight spun to see a fancy white stallion with a purple mane exiting the pile of books.

A muscular orange stallion emerged from out of the corner of Twilight’s vision, rubbing his head.

A yellow stallion was on the ground near Rainbow still groaning but getting up.

And a pink stallion stepped out of the pile of books looking dazed as well.

“Oh no… no no no” Twilight stuttered.

“Huh? What happened, who’re yall?” Applejack demanded.

“H-huh? Aah!” Fluttershy scooted back on the ground from all the unfamiliar yet familiar faces.

“Oh…oh dear! What- What happened to me?!” Rarity cried.

“Huh… so it was this kind of fic, cool!” Pinkie said shrugging off the odd events like she always does.

“H-how- this wasn’t supposed to happen! What happened to us- ah!” Twilight tripped on something and looked up to see a dragonees clutching her head.

“Ooowww… what happened?” She muttered.

That was the final blow and Twilight passed out.

“Ugh…” Twilight came too and looked up and saw colorful blurry shapes.

“Oh hey girls… I had this weird dream where we all turned into guys and Spike turned into a girl dragon… weird huh?...” Twilight said.

“I wish you were right about this being a dream…” A male voice replied.

“Huh?” Twilight groaned and rubbed her eyes, clearing up her vision.

And a male Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy and a female Spike were sitting over him.

“Its about time Twi,” Spike said in his airy girl voice.

“Huh?...” Twilight looked ready to pass out again but a smack to his face prevented that.

“Rainbow!” Fluttershy said offendedly.

“Hey she…he… whatever was about to fall asleep again, I’m not listening to his snoring for another hour,” Rainbow defended.

“Still,” Fluttershy said.

“Huh?!” Twilight said shaking the stars out of her eyes and remembering the events of the last few hours.

Waking up, she was he, they were he, Spike was she!? What is happening?!

“Oh no no more freakouts, or you get another,” Rainbow said.

“Ok ok!” Twilight said getting up and shaking his head before looking to everypony else in the room.

Fluttershy looked very uncomfortable in his own skin, he looked worried but being the kind soul he is he seems to be worrying about everypony else first.

Applejack was pacing in the background mumbling to himself that he should have seen this coming.

Rainbow just looked annoyed.

Rarity was looking in a mirror and looking completely distressed at his predicament.

Spike and Pinkie were the only ones that didn’t seem all that bothered by their situation.

“How did this happen?” Twilight asked.

“Beats me, I passed out when the ball exploded on my head, I'm just lucky dragons have tough scales or I’d be toast,” Spike said.

“The ball… yes it broke when you crashed into it, perhaps the magical overcharge being rapidly released did this?" Twilight said before looking uncertain. “But that doesn’t explain the effects, I mean, why did we all turn into stallions and you a dragoness?” Twilight asked.

“I dunno,” Spike shrugged her shoulders, making her chest bounce a little, something that didn’t escape Twilight’s notice and he couldn’t help but have a moment of bitterness that Spike has a bigger cup size than he had before the shift.

“Hello? Eqqus to guy Twi?” Spike waved her claw in Twilight’s face.

“Huh? Oh sorry,” Twilight said noticing he was staring.

“Excuse me?” Fluttershy asked tentatively.

“Huh?” Twilight turned to the yellow stallion.

“H-How long do you think it’s going to take to fix this?... I-I don’t like being like this,” Fluttershy whimpered.

“Ah agree, ah’m a mare, not a stallion,” Applejack said.

“I wish to return to normal as well, I’d be simply remiss if I am seen like this!” Rarity whined.

“Yeah, I kinda wanna go back,” Spike nodded.

“Everyone! Quiet,” Twilight said quieting the panicking mares turned stallions.

“We need to figure this out, now listen I need-” Before Twilight could finish a knocking sound happened.

“Huh?” The stallions exclaimed turning to the door.

“Oh crud, I forgot the book order I put in yesterday,” Twilight said nervously.

"Should we ignore it?" RD offered.

"No, it's a limited edition novel!" Twilight said firmly.

"I don't know if ya noticed but ya don't look like Twilight right now," Applejack said.

"I know! Let me think…" Twilight said, trying to think of how he could make the purchase without revealing himself before the knocking came again.

"Crap!" Twilight hurried to the door.

"Maybe you could reorder it we don't want to scare the mail pony," Fluttershy suggested.

"No time, gotta improvise," Twilight said.

"Hmmm…. Oh well must be busy," Derpy shrugged before turning to leave before the door opened slightly.

"Uh… hi!" Twilight raised his voice a few notches.

"Uh hey! You sound weird today," Derpy said.

"Yeah… uh," Twilight gave a few unconvincing coughs "I got a cold," he said.

"Ah, well get well soon, I just need you to come out and sign this," Derpy said.

"Um… I can't," Twilight said.

"Why?" Derpy asked with a head tilt.

"I don't want to get you sick," Twilight said thinking he had the solution.

"Oh don't worry about that I have a strong immune system,"

"There's always a risk," Twilight countered.

"Sorry but you gotta sign where I can see or I'll have to cancel, it's mailmare policy," Derpy said.

"Darn it, ok… promise you won't freak out then?" Twilight said.

"Why?" Derpy asked.

"There was a magic accident last night and… this happened" Twilight stepped out and revealed himself.

"Huh?!" Derpy exclaimed.

"Shh! Listen nopony can know until we figure this out got it?" Twilight said as he swiftly wrote his name and handed it back to Derpy before snatching the book and going inside

"Whew… it's alright girls…guys, disaster averted," Twilight said to his friends.

"She saw you, ah hardly call that averted," AJ said firmly.

"We can trust Derpy," Twilight said before hearing another knock.

Twilight opened the door again and saw Derpy holding out the form.

"You put the wrong name on the form," Derpy said.

"I did?" Twilight said.

“Yeah, easy mistake,” Derpy said handing it back to him.

“Uh, this is the right name, Twilight Sparkle,” Twilight said.

“Twilight Sparkle? Who’s that?” Derpy asked looking confused.

Twilight looked stunned “...What did you say?” he asked.

“Are they a friend of yours?” Derpy asked.

“N-no, I’m Twilight Sparkle!” Twilight insisted.

“Really? Odd, I’ve always known you as Prince Dusk Shine,” Derpy said looking confused.

“What?” Twilight said looking lost as Derpy peeked over his shoulder and saw the others.

“Oh your with your fellow guy friends, I’ll just take your real name, whichever it is and leave then,” Derpy said handing him a pencil.

“Uh… ok,” Twilight said writing his new supposed name down and handing it back to Derpy. “But wait, if you think I’m a guy then why were you surprised earlier?” Twilight asked.

“Oh, your hair is very messy, must be that magic accident you mentioned, better fix it soon,” Derpy shrugged and left with a wave “Say hi to Barbra and the rest of the guys for me!” Derpy said as she left.

“Who’s…” Twilight was beyond stunned and just numbly waved back before going back inside and walking back to his friends.

“What the hay was that about?” Rainbow said looking surprised.

“I think the spell did more than we thought…” Twilight said.

“What do you mean?” Fluttershy asked.

“Derpy… she knew my male form and knew me by a different name, I think… reality has been warped somehow,” Twilight said before shaking his head “That’s impossible though, even the massive amounts of magic I put in that sphere couldn’t reshape reality,’ Twilight said.

“So… everypony thinks I’m a legit female dragon?” Spike asked.

“And us stallions?” Rarity said looking distressed.

“It’s too early to tell, we need to investigate this, and find a solution,” Twilight said before turning to his friends “Everypony, though it’s hard to say, we need to live like this until I can fix it,”

“NO! I’m not staying like this! I am a proper mare and I do not belong in this body!” Rarity said.

“Calm down Rarity, I don’t like it any more than you do, but unless we can find out the extent of the changes to reality that have occurred, we won’t know how to approach this problem,” Twilight said.

“As long as ah’m recognized ah’m willing to wait,” Applejack said.

“I want to return now,” Fluttershy meekly said.

“Woot! I can’t wait to spend the next few days as a stallion, I bet it’ll be fun!” Pinkie cheered.

“Just make it fast Twilight, this feels awkward,” Rainbow said.

Rarity just looked bummed.

“Okay, I’m going to go outside and see how things have changed while you all get acquainted with your current situation-” Twilight was about to leave when suddenly Rainbow Dash stopped him.

“You… may want to change clothes,” Rainbow said.

“Why-... oh,” Twilight noticed he was still wearing female clothes “So that’s the reason Derpy was surprised… not because of… yeah…” Twilight said sounding embarrassed.

“I can take care of it, Twilight dear can you teleport us to my boutique?” Rarity said.

“I’m not sure if my magic output has changed in this form,” Twilight warned.

“Then we'll just have to sneak there ourselves,” Pinkie suggested.

“I’m not going to be known as the guy caught in drag,” Rainbow snorted.

“But you were originally a girl,” Fluttershy pointed out.

“Doesn’t matter, I'm a guy right now and if Twilight is right, everypony else thinks so too, I’ll be a laughingstock,” Rainbow said.

“We’ll we need new clothing somehow, Does Spike have anything in our size?” Applejack asked.

“Not calling you guys fat, but no,” Spike said.

“Then what-” Rarity was cut off by a familiar amused laugh and they looked around.

“Hey, I remember that laugh, Discord! Come out!” Rainbow called.

“Oh my dear friends, I am surprised you didn’t remember me, was the new situation that shocking?” Discord said appearing on an upsidedown couch.

“Hello Discord, I suppose you think we’re stallions too,” Twilight sighed.

“Oh no Twilight, I know your situation well,” Discord said.

“Huh? Wait, you remember?” Twilight asked.

“Of course, a simple reversion of reality isn’t going to brainwash this draconequus,” Discord said walking up to the group,

“Of course, why didn’t I think of it earlier?! Discord, can you change us back, surely a being as strong as yourself can pull it off,” Fluttershy pleaded.

“Sorry my dear, but no,” Discord said.

“What? Why?” Applejack demanded.

“I may be able to warp reality but this is ancient magic, as in Starswirl ancient, and the magic itself seems harmonious in nature, my magic won’t be able to work on it,” Discord said.

“How on Equus is this harmonious?! We have been robbed of our true selves!” Rarity snapped.

“Don’t ask me, Harmony magic is the one magic I don’t specialize in,’ Discord said.

The mares seemed saddened by this news before Rarity stepped up.

“Then can you please at least make some clothes for us? We’re kind of in drag at the moment,” Rarity asked.

“Oooh, the fashionista asking for my fashion opinion, that’s rare,” Discord chuckled.

“Please do it Discord,” Fluttershy asked.

“Oh very well stallionshy,” Discord chuckled before snapping his fingers and summoning a bunch of tape measures and the measures quickly began examining the group of stallions.

“Hey!” Rainbow yelped as one wrapped around his waist and lifted him in the air before dropping him.

“Hold still, I need every stitch to count,” Discord said as he made more measurements.

“Hey! That tickles!” Spike giggled as the measuring tapes measured his cup size.

“C cup nearly D, alright,” Discord mumbled, after some more measurements he made the measuring tapes vanish.

“I gotta say you all have decent builds too, thankfully I’ve done this before,” Discord said.

“What do you mean?” Twilight asked.

“Nevermind that, here you all go,” Discord then poofed up a pile of clothing.

“Wowie Discord, you might be a quicker seamster than Rarity!” Pinkie said.

“Pinkie!” Rarity snapped sounding upset.

“Sorry but it’s true,” Pinkie said.

“Why thank you Pinkie Pie,” Discord said

“How did you make them so fast?” Fluttershy asked suspiciously.

The streets of Trottingham were in an uproar as six random stallions and one mare suddenly found themselves nude in public.

“A magician never reveals their secrets,” Discord said with a chuckle.

“Um Discord, can’t ya just teleport them onto our bodies?” Applejack asked.

“And deprive you all of the chance to examine your new forms? I think you’d enjoy the experience,” Discord chuckled before pulling out a watch that wasn’t there before “Welp, I got chaos to create, see ya!” Discord said before vanishing.

“Discord!” Twilight called after him and when he didn’t respond he sighed and turned to the pile and picked clothes out of them.

“Alright…. Let's get this over with,” Twilight sighed.
