For her part, Twilight was frowning, still immersed in a tome that Fluttershy wasn’t entirely sure would be helpful. It was entitled “Magic and Pony Anatomy” and boasted a large, detailed image of a muscled pony skeleton. “You sure that’s the right book t’ be lookin’ in, sugarcube?” Applejack cocked her head slightly as she tried to glimpse the words on the page Twilight was concentrating so hard on. “Ah don’ see anythin’ about how two mares c’n have foals in that section.” “Oh, that’s not possible.” The princess finally glanced up at her words, a look of wry amusement on her face. “The idea I have is completely different.” Her small smirk widened into a slightly menacing grin. “I’ve been dying to try a spell like this for a long time, too!” Applejack and Fluttershy exchanged worried looks as the alicorn’s horn lit up. “Um, Twilight, are you sure this is a good….” The pegasus meeped and hid behind her mane as a bolt of magic shot toward them. Fluttershy blinked her eyes rapidly to clear them from the glare of Twilight’s magic. She wondered if she’d ever get used to how it blinded her. “So, did it work?” Twilight asked excitedly. She clapped her hooves and looked expectantly at Applejack. Applejack frowned briefly in confusion, then shrugged and nonchalantly inspected herself for any changes. Her eyes widened and her face paled when she found her answer. “Eeyup,” she breathed in reply. Twilight let out a delighted squeal and jumped up from the table. “I have to write to Princess Celestia to let her know it worked!” She bounded into the next room to find Spike, leaving the dazed couple on their own. Fluttershy was trembling slightly as she asked the question begging to be answered. “Applejack, what…?” She followed her beloved’s gaze and promptly blushed harder than she ever believed possible. “Oh…” she squeaked. Applejack seemed to have already come to terms with her new anatomy, however, and grinned devilishly at the flustered mare beside her. “Ah reckon we’re gonna have a bit o’ fun with this, sugarcube.” The pegasus gave her lover a small pout as the initial shock of the situation receded. “How come you’re the one who gets the stallion parts?” Applejack reacted with a hearty guffaw, and kissed her on the cheek. “Well, sugarcube, we’ll jus’ tell Twilight we’d like t’ switch off. We’ve talked ‘bout wantin’ a sizable family, after all.” Fluttershy smiled warmly and nuzzled the farmpony. “Deal!”
