"I got a lock on her!" Cadence's voice echoed in the room as Twilight awoke, startled. She had been sleeping on the couch as she had waiting for days. Occasionally doing paper work and getting caught up on things by Spike but mostly it had been her and Cadence working on getting the portal ready as the spell worked to find Flurry. It was a long task and one that seemed to hit speed bumps, such as the spell going out a few times as Cadence had to keep re-upping the spell. Which meant having to stick around nearby, unable to go too far or risk the spell going out again. Or the fact that the portal needed serious maintenance after years on non-use.

But it seemed that after many nights, several plates and food items now piled in the corner, books stacked high and both looking like the two alicorns hadn't bathed or slept properly in awhile, they had finally managed to get a match. Twilight eagerly watched as the dot on the floor seemed to pulsate. She picked it up with her magic, moving the magical dote into the nearby machine through a small hatch. The portal sputtered to life as the image of what appeared to be some kind of pool room appeared.

Cadence, who was currently was doing her best to get her appearance together, a few prestidigitation spells cast on her and Twilight, fixing her rugged looking lab coat and reminding Twilight to put some pants on, now stood ready. Her hand reached out as she tried to test the hole made in reality, making sure she could pass through just fine. As soon as her hand came in contact however, she felt a flash of powerful magic over take her. Images of something beyond her comprehension flooded her mind as she cried out in shock, backing away from the portal.

Twilight placed hand on her shoulder in concern. "Hey, what happened? You look like you just saw a ghost or something."

The alicorn took a deep breath and nodded. "Something far older than that actually. It seems we are being blocked from entering this things domain."

"What are you talking about?" Twilight reached out to touch the portal, immediately getting overwhelmed by a blast of static as her body was sent flying back, only stopped by the couch a little ways behind her. The purple alicorn gasped in surprise. She was unharmed but her lab coat was covered in light burns.

"Something is blocking us... Got it. Ancient Eldridge being is currently say no to us... This is a new one."

She slowly stood up and brushed herself off. "Ok, so now we have a new problem. How do we enter a realm that won't let us in?"

Cadence sighed and locked eyes with her. "By doing our research, finding out as much as we can and hopefully figuring out a way to appease it so it may let us through." She chuckled. "Better get to work, this may take even longer."

The two sighed and stared at the image, watching as the portal sputtered and shut itself off.

Flurry awoke to the feeling of a glass water bottle to her lips. Crisp, cold water entered her mouth as she began to drink hungerly, finding that she was incredibly thirsty. As her eyes began to adjust, she quickly recognized that the room was different. They were now in a windowless white room, a single door behind them, the walls were tiled, soft ambient music played from somewhere unseen and a few pillows lay strewn about. A lone pool sat in the middle with an underwater tunnel leading away from it.

Wave was currently scrubbing Ruby with a bar of soap while Aqua did the same to Saph. All four were leaning against the edge of the pool as they worked to scrub the cum stains from their bodies. Glancing up, two wonderful melons and the face of June could be seen. Flurry was currently resting on her outstretched legs.

"Morning." She said with a smile.

"Morning..." Flurry groggily answered back. She attempted to sit up only to feel a rush of fatigue and soreness take over, keeping her from moving much. She let out a low groan. "Where are we?"

"You can thank Wave and Aqua." The Changedling replied, taking a sip from her own water bottle. "They managed to wake up first and drag all out us into the next room. They both then went about, distributing water bottles from their bags and making sure everyone was tended to before they began scrubbing off the effects of the tainted aphrodisiac water."

Aqua got out of the water and walked over holding out her hand. "Yep and since you are awake, we should get you into the water. It will help the soreness, revitalize your body, and begin to help filter the other stuff off of you. We need to get going soon anyways. We are very low on water right now and while the stuff we swim in is drinkable... I think all of us can speak for bottled spring water instead."

Wave leaned against the side of the pool. "I think Aqua is just trying to skirt around the fact that we all have pissed in this water at some point and don't like the idea of drinking it while keeping that knowledge in the back of our heads."

Saph groaned. "Trust me, I understand this place filters it out eventually. Doesn't make it any less gross."

"But you are all fine swimming and having sex in it though?" Flurry asked.

Ruby raised her hand. "Easier to forget that tidbit over time. Also I personally think its silly, like do you really think that in a place this massive, its really going to matter? The chances of dinking that have got to be insanely low considering how powerful this place's filtration system. I once dropped a candy bar in a pool and this place managed to filter that out in a day."

Aqua shook her head. "Can we please stop talking about this and start swimming? This whole conversation is making me sick and I really don't want to have to resort to drinking this after considering everything this water has probably had to filter."

The unicorn helped Flurry to her hooves and to the pool, everyone getting prepped as June joined them. "Alright, we swim in a group. Flurry and June in the middle, Aqua and Wave in the back, me and my brother in front. If we need to stop, give our tails a yank or something to get our attention."

The whole group nodded, took a few deep breaths before plunging down into the tunnel. The group went into their formation, Flurry silently swimming next to June as the group slowly made their way down the long tunnel.

A good ways down, a small window caused Flurry to pause. She could just make out something that looked familiar but had to really stare hard though the thick surface. Placing her face close, she could swear she saw her bed. But that had to be impossible. Her hands glowed as suddenly June tapped her shoulder and pointed at an opening nearby. It looked like a balcony under the water and windowed doors next to it. It had to be impossible. She swam over and nearly let out all her air as she stared into what looked like her room she had left just days before. By this point, June was quick to pull on Ruby's tail and alert her. Saph seemed confused as he rubbed his eyes, staring at what Flurry could only assume had been a wall a few seconds ago.

Just past the balcony, there was some stairs leading up and out of the water. Flurry, now very confused, couldn't help but begin to work her way over to them, soon breaching out of the water and following them up and over, the stairs now leading down and turning to a corner to a large wooden door.

Water dripped from her body as she stood in silent shock, her friends soon catching up as they to stared in confusion.

Flurry silently opened the door and stepped in, almost feeling like fainting as she stared at her freaking room. Her bed was made, her wardrobe was there, the door leading to the bathroom, the fluffy carpet, even the small closet. Everything was here. The alicorn collapsed onto her bed. It had a familiar smell even.

"This is my room..." She said out loud, slowly. Unable to believe it herself.

Aqua wandered over to the bathroom door and glanced in, seeing a large bathtub, walk-in shower with a two seater bench, fancy sink and toilet. "Wow, you know I never guessed you lived in such a nice place. Your room is almost as big as our house."

Ruby and Saph wandered over to check in the wardrobe while June noticed a small fridge sitting near the bed. She opened it, feeling a bit of cold air wonder out as she took a few water bottles out. Wave went over as she put them into his bag before turning back to Flurry. "Sorry, probably should ask first... Mind if we take these?"

Flurry turned to look at Wave. "Sure, I am not even sure if this is actually my room or not. It looks and feels like it but... When I left I had clothes laid out and there should be some alcoholic cider in there instead of waters."

Saph turned to her. "I was about to ask why bother having an empty wardrobe. Wonder if it decided to forgo the clothing when decided to copy your place over. Gonna jot that down as a no go for the Entity it seems. Weird, not sure if it has ever copied over a real place or not. Gonna have to ask our parents on that one."

Flurry flipped onto her back and stared up at the ceiling, seeing the painted stars and moon above. June placed an hand on her shoulder. "Home sick?"

"Weirdly... Yes and no. I don't know how to describe it. I actually am really starting to like it here but I did suddenly leave a bunch of friend and family behind. I hate to worry them. But at the same time, a part of me really doesn't know what to feel. Seeing this place again, I thought I might be happy. But if anything, it feels weirdly empty and hollow. Maybe because its just a copy... Or maybe because I have started to feel bonded to you June. It just hit me that if I ever do make it back home, I could never share this bed with you."

She sat up and placed an arm around her, bringing the Changedling into a light hug. "I don't know what to think anymore. I feel so... Conflicted."

June glanced at her siblings and friends. "Could you... Give us a few minutes?"

Saph and Ruby saluted. "We can go scout ahead a bit."

Aqua and Wave nodded. "And we can do the same but we promise not to go too far."

The four left the room, closing the door behind them. June immediately turned and kissed Flurry, bringing her hands up and passionately locking lips with the Alicorn. At first, Flurry was surprised but her eyes slowly drooped as her mind began to calm down a bit. June slowly broke from the kiss but moved to straddle the Alicorn, placing their breasts against each other as the linked up, laying back down on the bed as the two laid in each other's arms.

"Flurry, you are the best thing to ever happen to me. I want nothing more than to spend the rest of my life with you... But I also know and understand this asking so much of you. I am not going to force you to make a decision. What you do is entirely up to you. I have no ill will against you if you have to go and I will do everything I can to get you home... But..."

Flurry smiled and softly kissed her nose. "I know, you probably feel conflicted to. I promise to weigh every option. It seems like this weird Entity has a stake in me being here to. I have a sneaking suspicion it is trying to butter me up even now. And here comes my own But...

She took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "Lets not worry about that right now. Lets take the time we have and enjoy everything. Have some fun. Have great sex. Be with each other and make memories. If I stay, we have something to look back on and if I end up going... I can say we had one heck of a time together."

"I can work with that." June said softly.

"Can we just... Cuddle for a few minutes? As much as I would love to scissor you until the bed's stained..." Flurry chuckled. "Lets just... Take a minute and just... Be together."

June smiled and kissed her neck. "Sure..."

Flurry glanced over at her bathroom and smiled. "Actually, I have something that might help clear both our minds a bit. What do you say after a few minutes, we take this to some place else?" June softly nodded, moving in close and softly kissing the neck of her favorite alicorn.

The two casually cuddled as the room seemed to grow slightly dim all on its own.

Juicy watched from a special floating orb, her face neutral. She was in a fairly large studio room that looked like it could belong in a Changeling hive. The walls seemed to be made of some fake chitin rock and there were green torches flickered. She had a luxurious green bed, a small dining and kitchen area and two curtains blocking passage ways out into a bathroom and a long hallway that led back into a large room filled with doors leading all over the place.

The Changeling sat on the bed, dressed in only a loin cloth and strip of cloth around her breasts, she was sipping what looked like red wine as she glanced upwards, eyeing a tentacle hovering in front of her. "Was that her doing or yours?"

A soft breeze blew as Juicy closed her eyes and nodded.

"Both? Fascinating. She is coming along faster than we anticipated." She glanced back at the orb and sighed.

"It seems she is still conflicted. Do you have anything else in mind?"

A soft tune played as she hummed softly. After a few minutes of silence, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "I see. It shall be done. Perhaps we should explain to her her role soon, before she reaches her journeys end so she has time to really think and understand what has been laid out for her. This is a big deal I know... But she still has free will at the end of the day and we can't force her into this."

There was a pause and it seemed like a soft breeze blew from somewhere else. The tentacle seemed to softly rub the end of itself against her cheek.

Juicy took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "No... You are right, best to take the time we have and use it well. The bond she shares with June is still incredible though. To think that after all this time, the pieces that needed to come together have finally fell into place. We can only hope that she is willing to accept this role."

A soft music played once more as Juicy smiled. "Yes, I will come to garden soon. Let us enjoy this moment of hope that has been long in the making."

***

Flurry stood underneath her shower, feeling a stream of warm water over her hair and down her body. At the very least, if she did end up staying, she could always look forward to something like this. She could feel June's hands slowly massaging her shoulders, working around her upper back and slowly moving downwards.

"I have something fun to try if you are interested. I am a Changedling after all and I unlocked something fun recently we can try."

A flash of fire erupted out for a quick second before Flurry felt something large grind between her legs. Glancing down, the Alicorn could see a fairly large dick now pushing upwards, its shaft grinding against her sex. "Woah, heard Changedlings can swap around a bit. Never thought I would get the chance to see it though." She shivered slightly. "Or even feel it for that matter."

June shivered as well. "I am a bit new to this appendage. It feels really sensitive. But if you are cool with it, I would love to try it on you."

Flurry placed her hands against the wall and leaned her ass back a bit. "How can I say no to my favorite Changedling. Or this wonderful new tool at your disposal?"

The Changedling grinned, gripped her lover's hips and guided the cock into the lovely feeling walls. "Whoa... This feels weird but good!"

The Alicorn nodded, feeling the large appendage push up inside her. "Feels like a stallion cock but with a hint of Dragon."

"Yeah, I am basing it off what I know. Hope it works." She plunged the dick forward and back out slightly, causing the two to let out a loud moan.

"Heck YES!" The now wet-in-more-ways-than-one mare cried out. "That feels awesome!"

June gripped the wonderful melons in front of her and began to hammer her new appendage back home again, feeling it get clenched by her lover's walls. Feeling her hips come in contact with that wonderful ass. "Oh man, this is so good. But I am not going to last long. This thing is..." She moaned harder. "Not ready to long use yet."

The dripping mare let out a low hard moan. "Its cool. Just got to get used to it. Build up some stamina. Does it...?"

"Yeah, I can cum." She pulled out and push back in again, slowly picking up the pace. "Changedling magic is weird though. I am actually not sure if this thing can knock you up. I don't think it can but..."

Another loud, hard moan rang out. "I am willing to take that risk. I got an antifertility enchantment on anyways. Go ahead and lets see how..." Without another word, Flurry suddenly felt June grip her tightly as she muttered. "C-cumming!"

With that, the cock was shoved deep inside her as the Alicorn felt a rush of seed pump deep into her core, filling her up, making her let loose a loud yell as her own orgasm rushed up to greet her. June pulled out, shooting cum onto the wall as she continued to sputter, shooting out another load onto her lover's back and gasping out in surprise.

"Whoa... That felt weird... And amazing." June said while falling back onto the small bench behind her. She let out a soft coo as more cum ran down the large appendage, softly grasping it as she examined the cum, finding that it looked real enough thought with a noticeable soft green color to it. "Magic is wild." She muttered.

That now slightly stuff mare turned and sat down where she was, letting the water rush down over her legs as she let out a low groan, softly fingering her entrance. "Wow, and just think, given enough time, I may be able to really ride that thing hard and long."

She slowly stood up and shutoff the water, leaning over June and licking her lips. "What do you say we take five and join the others, the have to be wondering what we are doing by now."

June giggled. "Sex, mostly like assuming we are doing exactly what we are doing right now."

Flurry smiled and sat down on the bench, leaning in close as she rested her head on the Changedling's shoulder. "I freaking love that by the way."

The Changedling grinned. "And, if you don't mind me being to forward... I really love-"

She was cut off as Flurry's lips planted against her own, the two softly moaning into each other's mouths. The Alicorn broke from the kiss quickly, chuckling while placing her hand against June. "No need to say it, I think we both got it by now. But if you want to say we are lovers, I am not going to stop you either."

June let out a laugh as the two cuddled close to each other, their worries about what's the come, drifting off in the moment.

Author's Note

Hope you are all enjoying the story so far. Anyone got any interesting theories? We are coming up on the final three (or possibly four?) chapters. I will continue to work on this when I can.
