"Bellucio," she whispered. He wasn't there.
His bed left untouched, posters of his commercials arranged neatly on the wall beside it—three soft drink commercials and a second place in a semi-pro model contest. Caprice remembered that time. She had used magic to tell him, but ultimately Bellucio had decided to play it honest, rejecting a guaranteed winner for a quick punk hairstyle in the last hour.
"You looked so stupid then," Caprice chuckled as she sat on the bed. "All your friends said so. All my friends said so, but you didn't care."
Back then caprice had been a pony, drowning in her attraction by him. She knew she loved him, just as she knew he never would... not in the way she wanted. Thinking they'd be anything more than friends had been a foolish dream, a hopeless desire, and yet she had gotten her chance. A single wish upon the most magical of items and she had changed her body, casting away her wings for him. It had been everything she wished, everything she could hope for, and now he had grown to hate her.
"Was I so stupid?" She covered her face with both hands, trying to hold back the tears.
"One dumb bitch, yes." A cackle came from the window. Caprice turned around briskly. Floating outside the window, smirk on face, was the CEO's daughter, the very same that had tried to capture her and her Equestrain friends three times over.
Caprice's immediate reaction was to jump off her bead and fly up. Mid way she remembered she could no longer fly.
"Omph!" She plopped on the floor. Last time she was trying that in a human body.
"Touching." The CEO's daughter tilted her head. "And totally worthless. I can't believe you were so sex deprived you changed shape." The witch floated in. She was dressed all in black today—casual jeans and shirt, not her corporate uniform. "So, did you get some D before he found out?"
"Get out, Cassandra!" Caprice hissed. She still had some Equestria magic, but in such small quantities she might as well remain a human.
"Oh, you bet." Cassandra snapped her fingers, a cigarette appearing between them. "But not just yet." She put the cigarette in her mouth. Its end flickered alight lettering her take a puff. "There's something I want. You can give it to me."
Caprice narrowed her eyes. No way she was going to work with a corporate witch.
"And in return, I'll get you Bel." Cassandra smirked. "It's what you want, isn't it?"
Damn it! Caprice gritted her teeth. That changed everything.

Just a little something I wrote between chores. Seeing Bob's work gave me an idea. Hope you like it.

"Don't be so serious," Cassandra took another puff, floating closer to Caprice. The ex-pegasus could smell the fragrance of her perfume. "It'll be our little secret." The CEO witch put her left hand under Caprice's chin and gently lifted it up.
"You...?" Caprice's eyes shot open with shock and horror. This is a nightmare! It has to be! There's no way that Cassandra of all people would fall for me. Could she?! Droplets of sweat corned all over her forehead. "You want—"
"You're so gullible," Cassandra laughed, pulling her hand away. "You really thought I'd want that? From you?"
Caprice didn't say nothing. She had grown accustomed to humiliation these last few days. Still, if she were in pony form, she wouldn't mind bucking that birch in the face.
"Sorry, I'm not into horses." Cassandra took another puff of her cigar, turning her back to the equestrian. "I meant what I said. I know how to get Bellucio straight in your bed, and more. Who knows, you might enjoy a long happy life together." Another puff, this time forming a heart shaped ring of smoke in the air. "Or break up in a week. You never know. The question is, how much do you want it."

@Brush: Challenge accepted! (Yay, Brush noticed me!)

Suddenly, the door swung open. Without warning, Bellucio stepped in—very much to the shock and horror of the two girls in his room—and turned on the light. Throwing his backpack to the browned, he stretched a yawn then went towards the bed... only to see that his room wasn't as empty as he left it.
"Huh?" He managed to say, his glance moving from Caprice to Cassandra. "Wh—"
"Bel, what are you doing here?!" Caprice shouted, jumping to her feet.
"Err, I live here?" Bellucio crossed his arms. "And last I checked neither of you two did. Unless my mom has gone on another adoption spree." He looked at the ceiling pensively.
"But, but... you ran away! You were upset that I didn't tell you about being me and..." Caprice turned at Cassandra. "He ran away, right? I'm not imagining things, right? Right?"
"Don't look at me," Cassandra shrugged, taking another puff of her cigarette. "I'm not the one following him around like a sick puppy."
"S-s-sick puppy?!" Caprice stammered, red with rage and shame.
"Are you smoking in my room?" Bellucio pointed at Cassandra. "My mom will kill me! Magic that smoke out of here! And stop floating!"
"Whatever." Cassandra looked away, flicking the cigarette out of the window. "It's not like I like you or anything."
"Hold on!" Caprice crossed her arms as well. "What exactly were you going to ask of me?"
Silence filled the room. Two sets of eyes focused on the CEO witch, who for some reason was not as red in the face as Caprice.
"You know," she began, her back to both Bellucio and Caprice. "Like the thing no man can refuse? You, me—"
"Whoah," Bellucio whispered.
"I'm not hearing this!" Caprice shouted, pacing around the room, hands waving madly in the air. "This was your grand plan to get us together? This?!"
"Well, he isn't complaining," Cassandra pouted.
"That's not the point!" Caprice hissed. "It's—" she stopped. Did it matter? She was getting back with Bellucio, and as Cassandra said, it didn't seem he was terribly upset with the idea. "What the heck." She shrugged. It was going to be a long night, in the best of ways.

@Brush @Bob: Ha! :P
RRBB
@RRBB: ... what you did was like splashing a bar of chocolate onto a five star meal: it's terribly disgusting, yet you somehow find you enjoy it... despite the mountain of guilt.
Why, RRBB, whyyyy?

I wish I could write like that...

I wish I could look away. Damn it, girls! How do you expect me to fly straight after reading this train wreck? My CO is going to have a field day...

Dear all,
I'd usually be upset that you didn't use the NSFW filter, but I laughed so hard, my colleagues thought I had lost it, resulting in me being told to take the afternoon off.
Smashing work. :)

I fully approve!

I'm so confused... :(
