Holy Crap I'm sorry for how chunky this chapter is guys and girls, but I tried to get a few laughs with it and realized how large it was when I was done writing.
5: An exhausting day
Once Fluttershy comes back with a warm blanket and a fluffy pillow, you look at her and say, "Thank you for this kindness, I bid you a good night."
With a smile she nods and says, "Mhm, I hope you sleep better tonight as well." then makes her way upstairs as Angel makes himself comfortable on his bed at the foot of the stairs around the corner.
Heading outside to clean out your hooves, you wipe your hooves on the grass outside and head back in after double-checking their cleanliness and then gently close the door behind you. As the bunny eyes you with suspicious eyes, you roll your eyes saying, "I hope that you are a heavy sleeper because I wake up frequently throughout the night." You climb onto the couch, using your magic to lift up the blanket and settle into a comfortable position with your back toward the door, doubting that anything will change to allow you to have a good night's sleep anytime soon.
Angel drifts off into a peaceful dream where he is surrounded by elaborate carrot dishes and begins to enjoy one of them when a rustling noise wakes him from his slumber. Rubbing the sleep from his eyes with a paw, he sits up with a frown and sees the stallion sleeping restlessly as he rolls over to face him mumbling, "No...don't turn away..." then huffs in annoyance and faces away from him and tries to go back to sleep.
As you dream about the day you went to Stratholme, you hear Jaina say, "I'm sorry Arthas, but I cannot watch you do this." then walk away from you. You wake but don't open your eyes and turn over on the couch, drifting back to sleep when the dream continues as you head into the city with your weapon at the ready and spot Mal'Ganis standing a short distance away from you.
The bunny is about to bite into a new dish when he hears rustling once more and grumbles while sitting up again to hear, "Don't do it...they're your own subjects..." Annoyed at being woken again, he kicks off the covers in irritation and hops away up the stairs agitated. When he reaches Fluttershy's room, he climbs his way onto her bed and thumps his foot against the mattress at the foot of the bed to get her attention.
Fluttershy is dreaming of having tea with all her friends, including her animal friends when she is woken by a gentle prodding. Opening her eyes tiredly, she turns over to see that Angel is beside her with an annoyed look and pointing downstairs and asks, "What's wrong Angel, can't sleep?" Watching his motions, she then says, "Oh, you had a nightmare? How terrible, do you want to sleep on the bed with me?"
Angel facepalms himself with both paws and drags his paws downward and shakes his head, then tries to get the message across that the stallion downstairs is having a nightmare that is keeping him awake.
After watching him gesturing to her for several minutes, she gasps and finally says, "The pony on the couch is suffering from nightmares?! Oh dear, I better go check on him and try to keep his nightmares at bay." she then gets up and hops off the bed, kissing Angel on the cheek before saying, "Thank you for letting me know, Angel."
The bunny follows her down the steps and sits beside his bed, waiting to know when the stallion will stop waking him up, blinking in annoyance as he turns over once more with the blanket fallen onto the floor and taps his foot thinking, 'Would you just shut up and go to sleep already!?'
Fluttershy wonders what she should do to help him sleep, thinking of putting on some soft, soothing music to lull him into sleep. She then turns on her stereo and keeps the volume low enough to be heard, but not to disturb others and watches to see if it works.
A few moments pass by as the stallion continues to have trouble sleeping, hearing him talk in his sleep saying, "No...don't...that blade isn't the solution..." She stands there in curiosity as he starts mumbling, "Stop reaching for it...it...will lead...everything...to ruin..." She is about to try to light some soothing incense when he reaches out for something and gasps, saying, "No...you fool...don't you...see what...you did...by taking...that sword...help...Muradin." When she spots a tear trail down his cheek, she feels so sorry for him to be suffering and decides to try what her brother used to do when she was a filly.
With Blistering Blizzard facing the door, Fluttershy lays the blanket back over the couch and worms her way between his forehooves with her back towards his front and pulls the blanket down over the two of them while humming a lullaby, singing, "Now quiet down and don't you cry, I'm going to sing you a lullaby. If that lullaby doesn't soothe, I'm going to give you a kiss or two. And if those kisses won't do, I'm going to cuddle you. If my cuddle can't calm you, I will sleep by your side til morning's light." Smiling at how he quiets down and breathes steadily, she lays her head down on the pillow beside him and joins him in peaceful slumber.
You are surprised for once at how you are having a dreamless sleep for the first time since you got here, when you begin to reminisce about the happy times you have had with Jaina when you were younger. Finding yourself pulled into one of those memories where the warm sun shines upon the two of you on a cliff having a romantic picnic with her underneath a large red oak tree, lifting a finger up under her chin as you move to kiss her.
Fluttershy's dream shifts around her and finds herself in a meadow with a special somepony lifting her lips up towards his, feeling his tongue flick against her upper lip and parts her lips in response. When she feels his soft, wet tongue slip into her mouth, she is unsure how to kiss back and tries to use her tongue like he is. Kissing back rather clumsily, the sensation continues on as the dream fades away. Confused, she feels a slight discomfort in her neck as she starts to open her eyes, seeing a fuzzy image before her that slowly comes into focus. As the kiss keeps going, her eyes shoot wide open as she realizes she and Blistering Blizzard are French kissing, sending her into a panic as she screams in an extremely high pitch that causes her windows to rattle and a glass vase holding some flowers to shatter then uses her wings to zip up the stairs faster than she had ever flown before. Plowing into her own bed, she curls up under the sheets as she curls up on herself wrapping her wings over her head while her head and neck blush crimson in embarrassment, saying, "Oh no...oh nonononono! That was my first kiss! What am I supposed to do now, oh I don't know. Should I go talk to my mother about it? No, because she would think that he is my special somepony. Oh heavens, what should I do?!?" An idea then pops into her head as she says, "Oh, I know, I'll go ask Twilight about it!" then hurries down the steps silently so she doesn't disturb Blistering Blizzard's peaceful sleep.
As Twilight prepares to eat breakfast, she hears a frantic knocking at the door and says, "Spike, could you get that please?"
Spike nods and says, "Sure thing!" then hurries towards the door and starts to open it when it is suddenly slammed into his face, saying, "Oww...what just happened?"
Fluttershy frantically flaps her wings and hovers in the air above Twilight and says, "Twilight! I'm so glad you're awake! Something happened and I need your help!"
Twilight grabs her saddlebags and pulls Spike out from behind the door and says, "Alright Fluttershy, lead the way and you can fill me in on the way to our destination!"
She cocks her head and asks, "Wait, where am I taking you?"
The unicorn then looks at her friend and says with a confused look on her face, "To wherever this emergency is, of course."
Fluttershy then shakes her head and calms down, saying, "Oh, there is no emergency..." then lowers her voice and says quietly, " Not really..." She then sits down on the ground and taps her forehooves together shyly and asks in the same soft tone, "Uhm...what do you know about..." then lowers her voice to almost a bare whisper and continues, "Kissing?"
Twilight bolts upright and blushes fiercely saying, "KISSING!" then starts to fidget nervously and says, "Wha...wha...why do you want to know what I know about that?"
Spike feels a little grossed out by what he heard and heads for the door, saying, "Ick, so gross! I'm gonna go help Rarity." then leaves and closes it behind him.
The shy pony then blushes a bit and says, "Well...uhh...umm..." when her blush deepens, causing her to clam up.
Now that they are alone together, she looks at her shy friend and walks up to her, then places a hoof upon her shoulder when she hears a knocking on her door, turning her head toward it as it opens, and sees Applejack walk through it and closes it behind her and asks, "Good timing Applejack, what do you know about kissing?"
Blushing at being put on the spot like that, she then takes a breath and says, "Did your parents have the 'birds and the bees talk' with you about that yet?"
Twilight then relaxes and facehooves herself and nods saying, "Yes, I know all about what adult ponies do when they have a special somepony they are serious about and where foals come from."
Applejack then looks to Fluttershy as she quickly nods and confirms she knows about that too and wipes her right forehoof across her forehead and sighs with relief saying, "Well ah'm glad that ah won't have to explain that to either of ya." She then takes a seat beside the other two and says, "There are a few things to know when it comes to kissing. When it comes to a kiss between family, it can be on the forehead, cheeks, or even on the lips with some families. With a pony that ya are interested in, it can be done in several ways, such as a peck on the lips, or as a really intimate kiss using tongue." She then blushes as she admits, "Ah've never had my first kiss with a special somepony, what about yall?" and sees Fluttershy and Twilight both blush at hearing her ask with Fluttershy blushing a bit harder.
Pulling her tail against her flank, Twilight sighs and says, "I...kinda was hoping to talk to you yesterday about it, but a couple nights ago, Blistering Blizzard asked to learn more spells..."
Meanwhile, at Fluttershy's home
You awaken feeling lighter than you ever have felt before and look around to see that Angel is tapping his foot and rubbing his belly indicating he is hungry and ask, "Do you know if Fluttershy is up yet?"
Angel nods his head and then points to the door to indicate that she left.
With a nod, you say, "So she left then, in that case, I will go find her and thank her for letting me stay as well that you are hungry." and see the bunny nod and hop away, then make your way toward the door to go search for the shy pony.
Back at Twilight's
Applejack looks at her friend with awe as she says, "Ya kissed him on the lips...just for donating a bunch of old books?"
Twilight then says, "They weren't just old books, they were ancient books. They had to be at least 500 years old and some of which were even about magic, I even sent them to Princess Celestia for her to look over and she offered him a huge reward for handing them in."
The farm pony then thinks about her kiss and says, "From my point of view, I think that your kiss could be considered an accident because you did it on impulse. It would be up to you to decide if ya want to think of it as your first kiss or not."
Fluttershy then looks at them and says, "Well, mine may have been an accident too."
Applejack and Twilight both turn to the quiet pony as she says, "Tell us all about it, sugarcube so we know the whole story."
She then takes a breath and then says, "Well, it all started last night when I came across Blistering Blizzard as he was about to get a room at the Night Mare Inn and offered to let him sleep on my couch for a little while."
They both look at her with wide eyes and exclaim, "WHAT!" as Twilight says, "Please explain every little detail!"
Fluttershy then smiles softly and says, "I promised that I wouldn't share what he told me about his past, but he told me that he has no place of his own so he has to rent somewhere to sleep each night."
Twilight then cocks her head and asks, "Why does he not have a place of his own?"
She then shakes her head saying, "I'm sorry, I can't answer that."
Applejack nods and says, "Okay sugarcube, continue your story."
Fluttershy then says, "Well, he hesitantly accepted my offer and I led him back to my place where I introduced him to Angel Bunny who came to the door, after that I led him inside and shown him where the couch was. I then brought him a warm blanket and a pillow, then said goodnight and went to my bed. However, during the night, Angel Bunny came to me because he was having troubles sleeping due to his restlessness. So I went down to try to help him sleep peacefully..." and continues the story.
As you walk into town, you see the library and decide to go discuss what happened the other day with Twilight. Stopping at the door, you raise your hoof to knock and then hear a voice matching Fluttershy's say, "Then I started dreaming about a special somepony in front of me when he used his hoof to gently pull me towards him and started to kiss me...using his tongue." Unsure of what you should do, you hesitate outside the door.
Applejack and Twilight both lean towards Fluttershy with wide eyes and shout, "His tongue!/He kissed you with tongue!? What was it like?!"
Fluttershy blushes cherry red as she remembers the kiss and says, "Well, it started with a kiss on the lips, then he flicked my upper lip with his tongue, so I opened my mouth and felt his tongue slip into my mouth and lightly brush against my teeth. I didn't know what I was supposed to do at first and felt how his tongue moved around the inside of my mouth and started to caress my tongue, when I did try to use my tongue, I was rather clumsy." Wanting to finish her story, she then says, "When I opened my eyes, I saw that I was kissing him and that he was still asleep. My first reaction was to jump off the couch and scream in panic, I might have screamed so high that I heard the window rattle and a vase shatter. Immediately after, I raced up the stairs with my wings and curled up under the covers and tried to figure out what to do, which led me to come to ask for your help."
The farm pony then gulps and stammers a little saying, "W-Wow, tha-that must have felt strange to you, didn't it?"
She then thinks it over a little and nods saying, "It did a little, but then it felt...sort of...I don't know...uhmm...nice...I guess?"
The guilt becomes too much, which forces you to take action and raise your hoof. Knocking on the door, you say, "Hello, Twilight? Mind if I come in to talk? I didn't mean to eavesdrop, really."
Twilight watches as Fluttershy hides behind her and sighs, saying, "Okay, come on in before somepony gets suspicious of you loitering outside the library door."
You then open the door with your magic and close it behind you saying, "I just thought that I should let you know that I was shocked and surprised by your sudden kiss on the lips, Twilight, and it was my first time ever kissing anypony, especially on the lips." You then see a long, light pink mane and tail behind Twilight and sigh audibly saying, "And Fluttershy, could you come out please?" and hear a cute, little eep from behind Twilight."
When Fluttershy doesn't come out, Twilight gets up and moves aside, saying, "Be soft and gentle with her, okay?"
You nod and approach as the shy pony trembles while her face is cherry red with embarrasment, stopping a short distance in front of her and use your hoof to gently lift her head up to look each other in the eyes. When your gaze meets hers, you then softly say, "I deeply apologize for taking your precious first kiss from you since we are not romantically involved, though it was not smooth, I do think it was very nice for a first kiss. When I dream, my body acts on its own depending on the dream. Last night, I started to think back to my time with my former lover, but when I started to kiss her, the dream and sensation wasn't the same like it was with her. It wasn't neither bad or good, it was just...different. I understand if you are upset with me because of it." then release your hold on her chin and look away as guilt eats away at you.
When Fluttershy looks out from underneath her mane covering her right eye, she sees how he seems to look unhappy and slowly gets up to walk over to him. She then softly says, "Uhm...neither one of us should feel upset about what happened, I know that you didn't mean to kiss me. I will treasure it though because of how tenderly you kissed me, so thank you."
Turning back toward her, you look at her and nod saying, "You are welcome, Fluttershy, I have been meaning to thank you for letting me stay for a little while. I just now noticed that I feel lighter and more refreshed than I normally do in the mornings when I wake, thanks to you, I didn't suffer from any nightmares after you slept beside me." Remembering what Angel wanted, you then say, "I do think that Angel is getting rather hungry."
A heavy blush turns her face orange at hearing that and realizes that she hasn't fed her animals yet, making her gasp, saying, "Oh heavens, I completely forgot to feed them in my panic!" then hurries towards the door saying, "I hope you come back tonight, bye!"
After she leaves, you then turn to Twilight as she seems to be thinking about something and jokingly ask, "Are you debating whether or not you want me to kiss you?"
Twilight blushes as he guessed right and stammers saying, "Wha? Uh...uh no!" then clears her slightly squeaky voice saying, "Ahem, No, I was just wondering if you wanted to continue trying to learn new spells?"
Applejack then looks at him and says, "My brother Big Mac was impressed with how ya were able to bring in the apples, our baskets must have been quite the burden for ya to handle. He wanted me to see if ya were okay after that and what happened to ya at the restaurant. Ya doing alright?"
Concerned, Twilight looks at him and asks, "The restaurant? When were you at the restaurant, what happened?"
You look at the farm pony briefly and say, "I assure you I'm okay, I've handled a far heavier burden than several bushels of apples." then look to Twilight and shift your gaze between the two saying, "Big Mac treated me to dinner as thanks for the help, and we got there a little bit before you did. What happened was that when I went to take a bite of my rose petal sandwich, I was pulled away by a distant memory of mine. It started out slightly uplifting, but then turned sad towards the end."
The unicorn cocks her head a little and asks, "Oh, would you mind telling us about what happened?"
Shaking your head, you say, "Unfortunately not, because there is too much pain and misery involved in my past that I am not prepared to share with you all." then change the subject and ask, "Would you mind if I borrowed a few spellbooks to study?"
Sighing a little, Twilight then smiles and nods saying, "Well, if you ever do find yourself wanting to talk, you can always come talk with us. Go ahead and take a few books that interest you, then bring them back when you're finished with them."
You spend two months learning and perfecting the spells from the books in Twilight's library, finding yourself dragged along on several escapades of theirs. The only escapade you think remotely favorable is when you was able to see this world's version of dragons, managing to crack several scales along the dragon's side and neck before it hit you hard with its tail, knocking you unconscious. However, when you awoke, the dragon was gone and were immediately scolded for your actions by Fluttershy.
You are walking back into town after learning the last spell from the newest bunch of books you borrowed from Twilight, passing by Sugar Cube Corner when you spot a creature with strange markings on their coat wearing a tan cloak. You are reminded of a creature you once heard of on Azeroth and then turn to head over to talk to them when you are suddenly jerked backwards and pulled into the sweets shop saying, "What the heck was that for?"
Pinkie then says, "To save you from the evil pony, of course!"
Hearing them call the creature evil makes you laugh darkly and say, "I know evil creatures very well, but I am sure that is not one of them."
Rarity then trembles and backs away saying with a quivering voice, "H-h-h-how is it you know evil creatures?"
Deciding to be vague but truthful about your experiences, you look at their eager faces and say, "Well, what I am willing to tell you is that I once used to chase evil creatures as a soldier, after a number of years I picked up a faint way to sense if one is a threat or not."
After Pinkie spots Twilight and Spike walking through town, calling them both into the shop from the 'dangerous' creature, you tune out most of their conversation by looking through one of the spell books that have nothing further to teach you and hear her name is Zecora. As Pinkie begins singing, you groan in annoyance while they state a few things she has been seen doing around town once a month. When you spot Applebloom sneak outside, you put the book away and head after her to keep an eye on the troublesome filly.
As you follow the filly near the forest, you briefly lose sight of her but then find her standing in a clearing just inside of the Everfree Forest and make your way towards her. You hear galloping hooves behind you and stop in a patch of blue flowers, then turn to see the girls heading towards you.
When the girls catch up to Blistering Blizzard, they too stand beside him in the blue flowers when Applejack shouts, "APPLEBLOOM!? You get back here right this instant!"
You then hear the little filly gasp and turn around as you hear the zebra speak in a slightly deep, feminine voice, warning you in a rhyme against blue leaves being serious. You look at where you are standing and groan audibly, thinking, 'Great...I've just been poisoned. Looks like I need to start studying plants and potion-making as well as figuring out what poison I have, then develop a cure for it.' then turn and make your way towards Twilight's and look at Twilight saying, "Twilight, I'm going to head to your place and return these books, then grab a few more, alright?"
Twilight looks behind her at Blistering Blizzard and nods saying, "Oh okay, I'm fine with that."
As you return to town and enter the library, you search the shelves for any books regarding plants or potion-making. Able to find a few books on plants related to potions and potion-making, you spend several hours trying to learn what you can while trying to find out what poisoned you.
When Twilight returns to her home with Spike asleep on her back, it is nearing dusk and she is feeling quite tired after today's events. After closing the door to her home, she finds Blistering Blizzard reading up about plants and potions saying, "I'm going to head to sleep, try not to stay up all night studying, okay?"
You nod your head and say, "You should take your own advice."
Rolling her eyes, she continues heading up the stairs into her room saying, "I do, which is why I take the weekend off...unlike a certain stallion I know who shall remain nameless."
With a smirk, you resume studying and say, "Point made, goodnight Twilight."
Twilight then yawns and heads towards her door saying, "Goodnight, Blister."
Lying down on the floor, you hear the upstairs door close and keep reading through the books to learn what you can about making potions. However, a few hours into your studying, your eyes start to feel heavy as sleep swiftly overtakes you. Pushing the book away, you cross your forearms underneath your head and drift off into the first night of lost sleep in a couple of months.
When you wake up feeling groggy, you slowly struggle to get your hooves under you and look around to see nothing but a massive blur. You slowly start to wobble your way towards a strange blue wall that is a bit taller than you and attempt to climb to the top of it to get a better look around, taking you a good half-hour before you finally succeed and look around you when everything comes into focus.
Finding yourself still inside Twilight's home, you recall falling asleep on the floor by a book and look around to notice how huge everything looks. When you look ahead of you, noticing the wall is actually a platform of some kind which causes you to look down and realize that it is not a platform you are standing on at all. Realizing that you are actually standing on a book that is far larger and heavier than you, you start to wonder what happened to you when the door opens as Spike comes down the stairs and call out to him saying, "Spike!"
Spike stops halfway down the stairs and looks around while rubbing his eyes saying, "Huh?"
When you see Spike continue heading down the stairs, you try again and shout, "HEY SPIKE, I NEED YOUR HELP OVER HERE!"
He looks around and spots a small creature on top of a book and heads towards it saying, "Huh, how did a small creature like you get here?"
Groaning at how he doesn't recognize you, you facehoof yourself and say, "It's me Spike, I'm Blistering Blizzard and I need your help."
Spike then wakes up fully and says with wide eyes, "WOAH! H-How'd you get so small...and...what exactly are you?"
You roll your eyes at Spike and say, "That is a question I need help finding the answer to, I think the answer to the problem involves that plant from yesterday. Let's look through the books I haven't found anything in yet, those were stacked just to the right of this book here I'm standing on but wasn't able to finish."
The baby dragon then spends a few hours going through the descriptions in the books when Twilight races down the steps and starts pulling a book off the shelf and searches through it for answers, saying, "Good Morning Twiligh-woah! What is wrong with your horn?!"
Twilight tosses the book aside and pulls out another saying, "I think Zecora cursed my horn! Start searching for magical curses and cures!"
You watch the book warily as it sails in your direction, but lands a good distance away with a heavy thud and see Spike start to move towards a shelf when you say, "Hold on Spike, it might be similar to what is affecting me. We'll find the answer by finding what that plant is."
As you warily watch Twilight start tossing books into the air frantically while looking for a cure, a book comes right towards you, forcing you to run out of its path. When the book lands a couple feet behind you with a thunderous boom, it sends out a rush of air that sends you tumbling through the air. Somehow managing to land on your hooves, you then see another book heading your way and start running toward a clear spot on the floor shouting, "STOP THROWING BOOKS AT ME!"
Thinking that Spike said that, she turns to him and says, "I'm not throwing books at you Spike, I'm searching for answers, GEESH! Dramatic much?"
Spike continues looking through the rest of the blue book and puts it down saying, "I know that." then picks up another book from the pile and starts looking through it.
You run for your life as Twilight tosses book after book, slowly creating a deadly maze you have to navigate just to survive when another book slams down right in front of you with a thunderous boom. Blown back by the rush of air, you land outside of the maze and injure your hoof. With your movement lessened and without your magic, you run out from the path of another book sailing your way shouting, "SPIKE! GET HER TO STOP THROWING BOOKS!"
The dragon puts the book down and sees a book land right beside Blister and turns to Twilight as she chucks another one shouting, "Twilight, stop throwing books around!"
Not hearing anything due to being driven on by worry and panic, she skims through another book before chucking behind her and grabbing a much thicker one saying, "None of these have a cure, but there's got to be an actual reason for this. Is it an illness, or an allergy?" then chucks the book behind her and pulls out a light green one.
Spike watches the heavy book land and fall open right in front of Blister and shouts, "Twilight, stop panicking!" as she chucks the light green one behind her.
You see the book head right for you and look for an escape path out, but see nothing viable with your injured hoof and shout, "CATCH IT SPIKE, I'M TRAPPED!"
The young dragon races towards where Blistering Blizzard is surrounded by a mountain of books with nowhere to go and leaps forward to catch the book.
The book starts to fall in slow motion as your life here flashes before your eyes as you think, 'Great, I'm going to be killed by a knowledge, I'm sure that Tirion, Jaina, Muradin, and Varian would get a good laugh out of this irony.' Then imagines Tirion's voice laughing heartily, saying, "To kill the evil Lich King, all you need to do is squash him with a book!"
Spike gets there just in time and grabs the book by the spine shouting triumphantly, "I CAUGHT IT!" then turns to Twilight saying, "STOP THROWING BOOKS OR YOU'RE GOING TO HURT BLISTERING BLIZZARD!"
You then shout, "GOOD JOB, NOW GET ME OUT OF HERE BEFORE SHE THROWS ANOTHER!"
Spike then puts the book having a drawing of a plant with two fronds on its cover under one arm and starts looking around for where he last saw him, saying, "Okay, I'm coming buddy."
Freezing instantly, she then looks around saying, "What!? He's still here, where?!"
When Spike puts his claw down for you to climb onto, you sigh and lay down to rest your aching hoof saying, "Thank you Spike, from the bottom of my heart. You just saved my life."
The baby dragon then stands up straight holding his friend carefully in his hand and turns around to face Twilight saying, "Right here." and holds his clawed hand out towards her.
You lie down on his claw as Spike walks towards Twilight and stops before her, then stand up to look up at her as she looks upon you with curious eyes. Gazing at her with a slight scowl, you then begin to scold her saying, "Come closer so I can have a word with you, little filly!"
Twilight then gets much closer and watches her friend stand on Spike's clawed hand, sitting down instinctively as her ears lower and says, "How did you become so small, did Zecora curse you too?"
You then huff and narrow your eyes saying irritably, "I'll get to that later, now listen! You can't always let yourself panic when something unexpected happens, it leads to carelessness which then leads to injuries. In my current state, you could have easily killed me with how you were tossing books around frantically! If Spike hadn't gotten there when he did, you would have crushed me. If that were to have happened, all you girls would have been heartbroken about it and you could have even lost a few friends. So do us a favor and think before you panic...please!"
She hangs her head as sadness takes hold of her and sighs heavily saying, "Oh...I am so sorry for how I acted. I wish I had noticed you on the floor earlier. How are we going to fix this?"
With her lesson learned, you nod and then say, "With research, of course. So let's keep looking." and look to Spike saying, "Set me on one of those books upon the table over there so nopony steps on me. I don't like feeling so helpless."
Spike then takes him over to the table and sets him down, then starts looking at the book. When he lands on a page matching the description of the flower, he closes the book and holds it out for Twilight to look at, saying, "What about this one, it looks promising."
Twilight glances at the cover and says, "Supernaturals, huh?" then sighs and says, "Spike, the word supernatural means things such as ghosts, spirits, and zombies which are as fake as curses. That book is a whole lot of hooey."
He then looks pleadingly up at her saying, "But Twilight, what if you're wrong? It could be a..."
You then look to Pinkie Pie as she says something you can't understand, which Spike asks how it could be a purse. When Twilight asks her what happened, you see a lot of spit rain heading toward you and run to safety behind, shouting, "Thanks a lot for the offer, but I'm not looking for a bath!" The next second you hear something smack into the window and shout, "Use the door, why don't you!" Only to see her smack into it again while trying to talk, then backs up and slams into the wall before finally flying through the door, knocking it off its hinges, and accusing Zecora of being responsible. As she zips over your head, you fight to hold onto a book shouting, "Watch it!"
As you watch Rainbow lay on the ground for a few moments saying curse, you then hear Rarity speak up and turn to look at her. Trying hard to keep from snickering, you say, "Look at what the cat dragged in." then shout, "Looking fabulous, Rarity, but I'm afraid dreadlocks are out of style this time of year!"
Rarity scoffs and unsuccessfully tries to blow her locks out of her view, turning her nose up under her mountain of dreadlocks and saying, "HMPH! Says the stallion wearing leather saddlebags!"
Applebloom enters the library with her sister standing upon her flanks as hears her say, "Ah hate tell ya ah told ya so, Twilight but ah told ya so!"
Hearing a high-pitched voice, you turn to look at Applejack and say, "Welcome to the small pony's club Applejack!"
Applejack looks at where the voice came from and sees a snow-white creature with a golden blonde mane and tail standing on the table, then turns to her sister asking, "Take me over there, would ya, Applebloom?"
She then heads over to the table and stops beside the table, watching as her sister hops up onto it saying, "It's a curse, ah tells ya!" then makes her way over to the creature and asks, "Howdy, who and what are ya?"
Cocking your head and looking up at Applejack, who's now twice your size, you ask, "Do you really need to ask that? Just look at me, I'm small enough to sit upon your back like Spike does with Twilight!"
Applejack then looks them over thoroughly and says, "I can't believe that your curse turned you into a cute, little breezie, but it is even weirder that you were also changed into a mare!"
You look at her with a deadpanned expression, saying, "Of all the things you could have noticed...YOU NOTICE THAT!?" then huff and look away and notice that the girls are trying to talk to Fluttershy and look at her asking, "Okay, what is your affliction Fluttershy?"
Blushing at the rebuke, she then gets annoyed with the others' attempts to get Fluttershy to talk and gallops towards her and stomps a hoof saying, "Good gravy, girl! Would ya tell us what's wrong already!?"
Fluttershy silently sighs and then turns her head towards the wall in humiliation, saying in a deep voice, "I really don't feel like talking about it."
When you hear Spike sputter and start laughing, you hear him talk about how funny it is as he says, "Look, we have Hairity, Rainbow Crash, Spitty Pie, Appletini, Flutterguy, Breezie Blizzard, and...uh..." and look at him with an unamused expression as he fails to come up with anything for Twilight's flabby horn.
As Rainbow fights to get free, the girls begin to argue about it being Zecora's fault, making you roll your eyes when Rainbow starts zooming around the room recklessly, upside down and shout, "Would you get back on the ground before you put someone's eye out!"
Rainbow tilts her head back to look at Blister, saying, "I would if I could control my own wings...OW!" as she smacks into the bookshelf carved into the wall.
You see Applebloom hang her head slightly and walk to the edge of the table and look at her, asking, "What's wrong, little filly?"
Applebloom then sighs and looks at Blistering Blizzard, saying, "Well, I feel like this is all my fault."
You shake your head and say, "Well it isn't your fault kid, it's ours for not paying attention to what's going on."
She then sighs and says, "I just feel that none of this would of happened if I hadn't followed Zecora into the forest." then gets an idea and lifts her head saying, "I just have to set things right." and starts to walk towards the door.
As she starts heading away, you say, "Hold on, let me go with you. I have an idea as to where we can hopefully find some answers, so come closer so I can sit on your head by your bow."
Applebloom then stops, saying, "Okay." and moves beside the table, lowering her head a bit saying, "Is this good?"
You climb onto the bow and make your way down to the spot in front of her bow saying, "I'm ready, let's get going little filly."
Applejack spots her sister walking towards the door with Blistering Blizzard sitting on her head in front of her bow and eyes her suspiciously, saying softly to herself, "Now where does that little filly think she's going this time?" then makes her way from book stack to book stack on the table, and jumps into her sister's tail thinking, 'Thank goodness that she didn't have any beans last night for supper...' but then gulps when she recalls what all she ate and sweats nervously, thinking, 'Oh no...she had...CABBAGE!'
As the little filly races towards the Everfree Forest, having the same idea of seeking Zecora out, you watch something crawl through Applebloom's mane saying, "What the..." when Applejack suddenly pops up out of her mane.
She climbs up out of her sister's hair saying, "Now hold it right there, ya two." she then looks down at her younger sister's face adding, "Turn around right this instant and head back to town, missy!"
Feeling stubborn today, she smirks and says, "No."
Applejack is surprised at hearing her sister tell her no and says, "NO!?" then uses a hoof to repeatedly tap her head adding, "I'm your big sister and ya can't ignore a direct order from me!"
As you see her head lower, you make your way back against the bow and hold on tight when she quickly lifts her head and tilts it back, tossing her older sister into the air and quickly catching her in her teeth. When you see her trot towards a branch and set her upon it, you chuckle, saying, "That's one way to get rid of an unwanted hitchhiker."
She then laughs and smiles while looking at her older sister saying, "I'm sorry Applejack, but it seems I'm the big sister now." then walks away.
You watch Applebloom start trotting along the path to Zecora's again thinking, 'I wonder what her place looks like if she lives in the forest.' When the place comes into view you say, "I would guess that this is where she might live, go knock on the door and find out."
Applebloom then heads up to the door and knocks on it saying, "Hello? Miss Zecora are you here?"
Zecora then answers the door and looks down at the little filly saying, "Hello to you little filly, would you want to come in before it gets chilly?"
You then climb up out of the filly's hair and look at the mare with a medium-height black and white striped mohawk and say, "Madam Zecora, it is a pleasure to meet you, my name is Blistering Blizzard and this here is Applebloom, we were hoping to find you and ask for aid with our friend's maladies after we all stood in a field of those blue flowers you warned us about. Might you know how to deal with these strange afflictions?
She heads into her home and Applebloom follows after her, then stops and looks at the tiny breezie on Applebloom's hair, saying, "Why hello to you, Blistering Blizzard. The cure for that affliction is known to me, rest assured. There is a book that we must locate, if your friends' afflictions are to abate. The book in question is green in color, having a two-frond plant and Supernaturals on its cover."
You then look around her place for the book and see it up on a high shelf saying, "Its on the top shelf on the left wall, I would help retrieve it but I am far too small."
Zecora chuckles at the rhyme and says, "Thank you for finding it so quickly, now let us look inside and find a remedy."
Once she locates the ingredients, she gives Applebloom a small list of things to gather saying, "Careful should you be whenever you enter the Everfree. I will gather the ingredients located farther in, return here when you have them all so we can begin."
As you and Applebloom head into the forest, you start looking for the ingredients and spot a large cobweb straight ahead that she doesn't notice with a hungry spider hiding in a dark hole on a tree and shout, "Freeze! There's a spiderweb with a hungry spider lurking in a tree in front of you!"
Applebloom stops just before running into it and sees the large spider, then chuckles nervously saying, "Thanks for warning me about that."
With a sigh, you say, "You're welcome, but I was a little more concerned about becoming that spider's dinner."
When you two finish gathering the ingredients, you then say, "I think it would be wise to gather extra ingredients in case the others show up worried about you."
She then giggles and says, "Yeah, I think you're right because the others are being irrational."
After grabbing the extra ingredients, you return to Zecora's as Applebloom trots towards the door saying, "Hey Zecora, I think we found all those things you asked for."
When you see the mess inside, you sigh at how you had a feeling this might happen and grumble, "At least we were wise enough to gather extra." as Applejack sighs and expresses her relief that Applebloom is okay.
As Twilight then hops in front of Applebloom protectively, her tail swishes side to side in aggravation saying, "Because she is an evil enchantress that cursed us and plans on turning you into a soup!"
THE FOLLOWING SECTION IS A SLIGHT CLOP AND MIGHT BE UNSAFE FOR WORK, SO READ AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION OR FEEL FREE TO SKIP TO THE CONTINUATION OF THE CHAPTER!
You are taken by surprise when Applebloom suddenly lowers her head, causing you to slide forward on her mane. As she throws her head back, laughing hard, you hold onto a bundle of hairs for dear life, flying in the direction of the door when she quickly doubles over and throws her head forward and down toward the ground. Losing your grip on her mane, you are hurled towards the air end over end, slowly realizing that you are heading towards Twilight's tail and shout, "Twilight, your tail, your tail!"
Hearing Blister mention her tail, Twilight stops her tail from swinging, accidentally leaving it off to the side as she turns her head to look back saying, "Better?"
Still tumbling end over end, you see her tail off to the side and shout, NO! OTHER WAY, OTHER WAY!" when she moves it to the other side hastily and realize that you are inches away from the point of no return and shout, "CENTER! CENTER QUICKLY!" only to realize it is too late and hastily fold your hooves in against your belly while taking a deep breath as you continue heading towards her nethers.
Twilight groans and says, "Make up your mind alrea-" when she suddenly feels something enter her special place and tightens up exclaiming, "DYYY!" which causes her tail to jerk back to the center and the dock of her tail to hike up while her eyes shrink down to pinpricks as she loses the ability to think for several moments.
Seeing everything, Fluttershy gulps and asks, "Uhm...Twilight? Did...he just land where I think?"
She nods and answers in an unusually high-pitched voice, "Uh...huh..." when she starts to feel stimulation back there and snaps her head back saying with a light blush, "Don't do that!"
Applebloom then looks on with wide eyes at seeing it all, blinking slowly and saying, "Well......what just happened to Blistering Blizzard?"
Gasping at how her younger sister saw it, she shouts, "APPLEBLOOM, GET OVER HER RIGHT THIS INSTANT YA HEAR OR AH'LL TELL BIG MAC WHAT HAPPENED TO HIS FAVORITE TAIL COMB!"
The little filly jumps up in fright and squeaks, then sprints over to her sister's side, saying, "I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T MEAN TO BREAK IT! I WAS TRYING TO GET A KNOT OUT OF MY MANE!"
It is completely dark and slightly moist inside of Twilight's tunnel, unable to open your eyes at the risk of your eyes being damaged as you keep holding your breath and pawing frantically with your front and back hooves. Your progress occasionally grinds to a halt as you feel Twilight's inner muscles squeeze down upon you, drawing you further in and think, 'Damn it Twilight, each time I get closer to escaping this place, you draw me in further!'
Twilight's legs tremble as she fights against the strange tension within her, saying, "Please, don't go any...hah...deeper..."
Rainbow then looks around the room and says, "Does anypony have any idea how to save Blister?"
Zecora looks on, completely dumbfounded at what is happening and stammers, saying, "Ah...uh...Unfortunately for you, I have no clue! This situation is to me as new as it is with you, I know not what to do."
Twilight's whole body shudders lightly as her legs start to tremble even more, pleading, "Please...somepony, anypony...get him out..."
As you start using your teeth to pull yourself through Twilight's dark depths, you start feeling the need for air when you release your hold to get a new one. Caught by surprise by a sudden squeezing, you feel yourself sucked even deeper in and slam against a soft barrier.
She gasps as she feels him hit her hymen, her legs nearly giving out as her whole body shakes violently when something inside her snaps. Her muscles clench down instinctively as every nerve goes haywire when she feels a surge of ecstasy rush through her, feeling her inner thighs becoming very wet and looks behind her with hazy vision and asks, "Blister? Can you hear me at all? Please tell me you can." She prays that he answers her, but her hopes are dashed when she feels him start moving again which causes her legs to give out from underneath her as she pants saying, "Applejack...he is right there...where it is...please help me."
Applejack gasps and asks, "What do ya want me to do, sugarcube?"
Twilight looks at her and blushes even deeper, saying, "I need you to go in...after him. I...hah...don't know...hah...how long...he can keep...hah...holding his breath."
She gulps nervously and says, "Uhm...I'm not sure how long ah'm gonna be able to hold my breath for...but...ah'll do my best. Anypony have any small rope to tie around my barrel to pull me out with?"
Pinkie Pie waves her hoof frantically and tries to talk, saying, "PAH POO, PAH POO! PIH PAH PAETH!" then digs out her thick party string and sets in on the ground, saying, "PEEH PAH PO!"
Applejack then leaps off of Zecora's head toward the overturned cauldron, landing on it with a loud plunk and springing off of it and onto the floor. Running over to the string and pulling her hat off, saying, "Pick up my hat Applebloom, ah have a stallion to rescue!" She then ties it around her barrel and says, "Rainbow, get behind Twilight and feed me rope as I search for where the stallion is before anything worse can happen." Without a moment to lose, she gallops toward Twilight's rear saying, "When ah'm ready to be pulled back, I will jerk the rope three times!"
Rainbow picks up the spool as it starts to walk and skitter across the floor, then hurries towards where Applejack took off to and sees Twilight move her tail aside as her body shudders again. When she stands behind her, she sees Applejack trying to climb up to where her nethers are and extends a hoof saying, "Here, let me give you a boost."
She stands on her friend's hoof as she raises her up to the entrance and places her front hooves close to the middle of the opening and says, "Okay Rainbow, I'm locking my legs out, so count to three and then tilt your hoof down a little while pushing me in."
She nods and gulps, saying, "Alright...One... Two..."
Applejack takes a deep breath as her friend raises her hoof and tilts it while pushing her inside, feeling her front legs slide past her outer folds and leans her head forward. Soon, her nose slips past them followed by the rest of her body, then feels herself no longer being pushed in and thinks, 'Okay, ah'm in...time to go fishin' for a stallion, heheh.' As she starts crawling her way into Twilight's marehood, she feels her friend's inner muscles clamp down around her as her whole body becomes soaking wet. Feeling herself pulled deeper, she continues crawling along until she squeezes down again as a small gush of fluid washes over her and pushes her back a little bit.
You push against the soft cushiony barrier and finally manage to get a good hold to start pulling yourself out, determined to continue trying to escape her tight confines. Managing to crawl for a little distance, you open your mouth and taste a slightly salty, citrusy-tasting liquid enter your mouth. Unwilling to lose your expiring breath, you swallow it down and bite another piece of flesh to pull yourself further along. You make steady progress for a few seconds until Twilight's muscles clamp down even harder on you, trying their hardest to push you even deeper inside her and clench your jaw as tight as you can without biting through the flesh. Disaster strikes as a much stronger clench rips the flesh out of your mouth and slams you into the barrier hard, causing a hoof to slip through a tiny hole in it. When the squeezing subsides, you manage to get another hold and work your way back out.
She crawls her way through her friend's tunnel when she suddenly hits something solid with her right front hoof, then feels it bite the tip of said hoof and mentally sighs, saying, 'Ah've finally found you...' When the bite is released, she feels around again when she feels a sudden quivering, thinking, 'Uh-oh, ah know what that means, she's going over the peak again.' and plants her hooves on either side of her and bites down to maintain her position.
Twilight gasps and cries out loudly as something inside her explodes, setting her nerves ablaze as a massive orgasm hits her, unable to stop herself from shouting, "BUCK YESSS!"
Rainbow is about to look up when she is suddenly sprayed in the face and exclaims, 'WAHH! TWILIGHT, DON'T SPRAY ME!'
You feel yourself being sucked back even harder when you slam into the unyielding barrier, but tear right through it as you think, 'Oh shit...did I really just tear through her hymen? I doubt things will be the same between us ever again after this...'
She convulses and hisses in agony as a white-hot pain rips through her nethers while her muscles rapidly contract and relax, taking her a few minutes to get over as she then starts shedding tears and sobs, "No..."
The pegasus then starts noticing a trail of blood starting to ooze out from her asking worriedly, "TWILIGHT, ARE YOU OKAY?"
Twilight sobs a bit longer before saying, "I'm not hurt, not really...but it is gone, he tore through it." when she feels a slight pressure from deep within and places a hoof by her abdomen saying broken-heartedly, "He's so deep now...please hurry Applejack, before he gets pulled any further."
You find yourself up against an even firmer barrier, thinking, 'Oh crap, this is the entrance to her uterus...I seriously hope whatever I bit finds me before it opens up and I get pulled inside.'
Applejack hurries along as best she can while thinking, 'How come ah haven't found her hymen yet? Wait...don't tell me he got pulled through it!? If that's true, my heart goes out to Twilight.' She then feels herself pulled along as her muscles contract yet again, feeling more fluid rush past her as she mentally huffs in annoyance, thinking, "Good gravy girl! You're a right hair-trigger ain't ya!"
As you hold on with your teeth, you feel her muscles shift around you strangely when the opening starts to get wider, causing one of your hooves to slip through as your teeth lose their hold. When your crotch hits a hard lip, it sends a reflexive shudder through your body. Accidentally letting out a small bit of the expired breath in your lungs, your lungs burn with the desperate need for air. As you slowly find yourself losing strength, feeling yourself start to gradually relax.
Twilight continues to slowly sob and caress her abdomen, feeling it moving when she suddenly feels something slide further into her and disappear altogether, causing her to start sobbing anew saying, "There's nowhere else for him to go now...he's inside the room. Come on Applejack, he's getting so weak I can barely feel him moving at all!"
Fighting her way to the end of her friend's tunnel, she feels a hard surface in front of her and uses her hooves to figure out what it is. When she finds an opening, she gasps mentally and says, 'I can't believe that he got pulled into her foaling chamber! Things are never gonna be the same between us all, especially between him and Twilight...' Using the strength she has, she manages to squeeze her way through and slips inside of her friend's deepest place. Sliding down the side, she nears the bottom and bumps into something soft. When she starts using her hooves to find out if it is the stallion, she discovers that it is his cursed form but notices that he isn't reacting to her touch. Dreading the worst, she hastily wraps her legs around his back and holds onto him as tight as she can, and yanks on the rope rapidly in fear.
When you open up your eyes to find yourself in the empty black space you first showed up in, you hear loud moaning coming from somewhere around you and look around and see the alicorn Versa lying on the couch with her front towards you. Seeing two, hot pink nipples just in front of her wide, splayed open back legs as she holds her right front hoof between her back legs. Assuming that she is pleasuring herself, you then hear her let out a sharp scream of pleasure as a fountain of liquid shoots out from behind her. Not wanting to startle her and risk her wrath, you remain silent and try to pretend you didn't enjoy seeing that.
As she slowly comes down from her high, she collects herself and huffs in annoyance at knowing she was observed pleasuring herself and reaching her climax. Taking a deep, contented, yet irritated breath, she opens her eyes and gazes upon Arthas's unarmored human form and lets out a long breath, while dangling her right hoof over the edge of the couch to at least hide her teats from view and asks, "Did you enjoy the show, Arthas?"
Clearing your throat nervously, you then ask diplomatically, "Uhm...sorry, was I not supposed to, ma'am?"
Versa then huffs and smiles faintly saying, "It bothers me not, but good job for taking the diplomatic approach. I found your recent...experience to be quite interesting. Continue to intrigue me with your adventures and experiences, and I might be inclined to grant you a small taste..."
You then look at her and say, "I care not for physical, spiritual, or mental pleasures...but I do appreciate your kind, generous, and benevolent offer. The only desires that I try to cling to are my redemption and to keep my friends from knowing too much about me or my past..."
Cocking her head, she gets up off the couch and saunters over to him with a sultry look on her face, stopping to stand just before him and pulling his face closer to hers with her magic, saying, "Oh how cute, you thought that you had a choice in that...you will get that reward whenever I decide to grace you with my presence in Equestria. You should be more wary of your actions and try not to be so negative whenever certain things happen to you that you can't control because your soul now has a couple of small fractures in it, though I am doing what I can to repair it. You should be getting back now, I do think one of your friends is worried about you." then sends him back towards Equestria to his own body.
When Rainbow feels the rope being rapidly yanked, she exclaims through clenched teeth, "WOAH, I THINK SHE'S GOT HIM!" and starts to pull on the surprisingly heavy string.
As she feels a sudden urge to push, she takes a breath and tries to push whatever it is out of her and feels a shudder of pleasure rush through her as Applejack and Blistering Blizzard are pulled through her vaginal canal. A moan slips through her lips as she goes through one final shudder when her tightened spring finally snaps, hearing a very wet plop from behind her while her vision starts to darken, saying, "Heh..." before passing out and leaving her head to fall onto the floor.
Applejack quickly puts Blistering's unmoving body on her back and gallops out of the puddle they landed in and lays him down in a dry spot, shaking him a bit and slapping his face gently before shouting, "AH NEED HELP RIGHT FLIPPIN NOW! BLISTER AIN'T MOVING!"
Everypony gasps as they see the two covered in blood and hurry toward where they are as Fluttershy shouts in a deep male voice, "EVERYPONY STAY BACK! SHE NEEDS SPACE!"
Fluttershy stops a short distance away and says loudly, "APPLEJACK, FOLLOW MY INSTRUCTIONS VERY CAREFULLY, I AM GOING TO TELL YOU HOW TO PERFORM CPR OR CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION."
They all watch with worried looks as Applejack listens to Fluttershy, taking it step by step to try to get his heart beating once again. With bated breath, they wait with hope burning in their hearts that she can bring him back.
Forgetting how long she has been doing this, she presses on his chest harder a few times before breathing fresh air into his mouth saying, "COME ON, COME ON! DON'T YA DARE CONK OUT ON ME PARDNER! DON'T EVEN TRY IT!" then begins doing more compressions. As she begins to feel tears well up and spill from her eyes, she breathes into his mouth once more then goes back to doing compressions and pleads, "Come on, please come back to us..." She switches back and forth between breathing and compressions when she accidentally presses too hard and hears a few loud cracks, causing her to gasp and back away thinking that she killed him.
They all are startled when they see clear fluid come out of his mouth followed shortly after by a cough, they wait to see if he gets up at all as Applebloom prances in place happily crying out, "Ya did it, sis, ya did it! Ya brought him back to us!"
You take a long, much-needed breath of air and then struggle to get from your right onto your stomach as one foreleg hurts a lot and doesn't work properly. Figuring it is broken, you then say, "Applejack, help me roll onto my stomach will you, my foreleg's broke." You then let out a few deep, raspy coughs before being able to speak again, saying, "I never knew fresh air could smell so good." You then look down at yourself and then feel Applejack pull you into a hug, saying, "Watch it, that hurts."
Applejack eases up a little on her hug as tears of joy run in rivers down her and everypony else's face as they prance and hop around happily, cheering loudly, and says to him, "Ah'm mighty sorry about hurting ya, ah might have broken a few ribs trying to bring ya back."
When she finally sets you down onto your three good hooves, you then look her over and say, "Why are you covered in blood too?"
She then lightly smiles and says, "Well, after a few minutes passed, Twilight turned to me and asked if ah could go in after ya, and unfortunately, ah was the smallest and best choice for the job."
Turning your gaze to Twilight, you see her slowly lift her head up off the floor and look around in a daze and say, "Hello Twilight, let's talk about this mess later, okay?" We have a much bigger issue to deal with at the moment..."
With a gasp, Twilight swiftly nods and stands up a bit too quickly and wobbles a little, saying, "Right! The curse!"
THIS IS THE END OF THE UNSAFE SECTION, ENJOY THE CONTINUATION OF THE STORY!
Applebloom laughs and says, "Oh Twilight, have you let those silly fillies get into your head? You know that there's no such thing as a curse!"
You look around the place and ignore the conversation between them until you hear Applejack ask for someone to speak plainly and groan, saying, "Those blue flowers from yesterday are the cause of this all."
Once the girls all learn a lesson, you turn to Applejack and say, "I strongly suggest we not get seen in public like this or it might cause a panic, we look like we just came from murdering someone."
Applejack then takes another look at herself and sighs saying, "Ponyfeathers, ya have a good point." She then turns to the girls and asks, "Can one of yall hide us in yer manes or tails until we have a chance to clean up?"
Rarity then steps forward, saying, "I have been planning on visiting the spa after this anyway, so you can hide in the dreadlocks on my coat hair...oof! This hair is soo unseemly..." and stumbles over her hair as she heads towards the two ponies.
Thinking fast because she cannot see, you call out, "A spa visit sounds so good right now... Thank you, but wait right there, we will come to you! I have been on many battlefields in the past, but this is just ridiculous. Contrary to popular belief, when you're this small...even knowledge could kill you!" and start to make your way toward Rarity.
Twilight groans and watches him and Applejack walk toward Rarity, saying, "You're never going to let me live that down, are you?"
With a smirk you shake your head and say, "Nope, not as long as I draw breath, anyway." and hear a few of the ponies snicker at that and say, "You better lay down Rarity, somepony's gonna need to set me into your thick hair because of my leg."
Fluttershy smiles and says in her deep voice, "I can help with that." then walks over as Twilight apologizes to Zecora and asks her to make more of the cure, stopping beside him and turning her right hoof over so that he can step onto the underside. When he thanks her and steps into her hoof, she uses her right wing to move aside some of Rarity's hair and sets him inside it before pulling her wing back to let the hair fall back into place.
Once the girls head into town for the herb that Zecora needs, they talk to one of the panicked ponies and talk some sense into her. When they get what they need, they then head over to the Ponyville Spa and ask Aloe and Lotus for washing tubs.
When you are taken out of Rarity's hair and set on the rim of a tub big enough for Applejack to swim in comfortably, you then turn to her and say, "Applejack make sure that you don't lie on your back when you get big again, am I clear?"
Applejack rolls her eyes and says, "Yeah ah hear ya." then jumps into the tub while doing a cannonball.
Zecora then walks over to the two filthy ponies and rubs her chin in thought saying, Unfortunately for the two of you, I will first need to make another brew. That which cakes your whole body will alter the brew, for I shall first gather what I need for two cleansing brews."
As the others talk amongst themselves, you do what you can to get the stuff out of your mane, coat, and tail, Zecora returns and begins pouring in a small vial of liquid which causes it to bubble up around you. You look around as you start to feel a tingling sensation and say, "What in the world is this doing to me? It feels so weird."
Once she watches the potions do their work, she picks them up and sets the two on a ledge saying, "Wait right there, the two of you, I will replace this water for the second brew."
After you watch her set the two tubs down, half-full of water as Zecora dumps in some ingredients. When she sets Applejack on the rim, you say, "Remember what I told you!"
Not listening to him, she jumps in doing a cannonball on her back with her rear towards the second tub shouting, "Geronimo!" and hits the water with a splash.
You shake your head and shout, "You're going to regret doing that Applejack!" Then feel Zecora pick you up gently and carry you towards the tub and set you into the water, having a few moments to get into a good position before you start to feel tingles all over your body. Knowing how big you once were, and having a broken front leg as well as a few broken ribs, you are left sitting on your flank.
As Applejack is doing a backstroke, she feels her head hit the side of the tub, saying, "Did the tub just get smaller or is it me?" Realizing what is happening, she says, "Uh-oh..." as her body continues to get larger.
When you start to slowly grow larger, your eyes finally rise over the edge of the tub as you hold your front legs up saying, "I tried to warn you about being on your back, Applejack." and see her two light brown teats, including her marehood as her tail hangs over the edge. As your back hooves reach the other side, you quickly put your front forelegs down and use your strength to shift your position so you can raise your back hooves up so they don't cramp.
Unable to cover herself, she blushes fiercely and stammers saying, "D-Don't look at me, turn away!" and moves her legs closer together, then tries to cover herself with her front hooves unsuccessfully.
With your front hooves blocking her view of your sheath, you sigh and use your magic to lift her tail, saying, "Here you go, grab it and cover yourself with it."
With the heavy blush still on her cheeks, she says with a stammer, "T-Thank ya, sorry ah didn't listen." then grabs her tail quickly and pulls it between her legs.
You look around the room and catch Twilight staring at your sheath, but then blushes when her eyes meet yours and dives down under the water and huff saying, "Well, I can see that some ponies have been sheltered from many things."
Twilight lifts her head up and then looks up at her horn and sighs happily when she feels that it is back to normal, then notices Pinkie before her and giggles along with her.
When Lotus asks Zecora for the recipe, you hear Applebloom ask where Applejack is. As you hear everypony start to panic, you look over to Applejack in front of you with a deadpan expression on your face, thinking, 'You girls are way too silly at times...'
Applejack then huffs and looks over at her sister saying, "Ah'm right here, little sis, but ah ain't little no more!" Then looks around and asks, "Speaking of which, can somepony get me out of this thing?"
You chuckle briefly and say, "Let me help you with that." then use your magic to lift her out and turn her over before setting her back down on her hooves. Wincing each time you breath, you then look to Applejack and say, "Since I helped you, could you help get me out of this and over to a healer?"
She then nods her head and walks over to him saying, "Sure thing, pardner." Offering him a hoof, she helps him climb out of the tub and guides him towards the door.
Hopping along on three legs with one leg held in the air, you call to Twilight behind you saying, "When I have a chance, I will bring your books back to you and grab some more."
Twilight watches him go, forgetting all about the issue they needed to talk about, and says, "Alright, though I think you won't be going anywhere for a little while with a broken leg, so I will stop by to check on you and bring a fresh batch with me."
