The Big and Cuddly Ursa Minor Returns!

by Foal Star


Chapter three: The Ursa Minor Club

The four Ursa Minors, Luna, Celestia, Twilight, and Trixie, were all sitting together and discussing their predicament together in the little bear house together. As the four settled in with the princesses still being rather squeamish, Twilight just stood there gawking as she couldn't believe the princesses were transformed into Ursa Minors as well. Luna then began the discussion regarding their predicament with her fellow Ursa minors. "Alright, we need to figure out how to get us turned back to normal, but first, we need to figure out how we were transformed?"

Trixie then gave a giant sneeze as she rubbed her nose with a paw and grumbled, "it must be my cold? Something happened where when I sneezed on Twilight, she transformed not long after that."

The violet mare smirked as she replied, "I agree though I still think you did it on purpose."

Trixie was somewhat annoyed by Twilight's accusations. "You keep saying that, but I'm serious. Trixie didn't know that my snot would turn you into an Ursa Minor."

The violet unicorn growled, "you've lied before; what makes you think we trust you now?"

"Because Trixie's stuck like this too!" Trixie roared back at her as she just had enough of Twilight's suspicions.

"Hey, quit it, both of you!" Celestia snapped at them; the two then stopped fighting and plopped down, still growling under their breaths. The white-coated Ursa Minor sat back down, "now why don't we talk things over rationally. First off, let's figure out how we got turned to Ursa Minors in the first place?"

The four Ursa Minors sat there tapping their paws at their chins; Trixie couldn't help but giggle at how adorable the others looked, especially Celestia and her giant tush. Twilight finally spoke up. "I think that Discord may be the one who did this somehow maybe snuck something to Trixie before we turned him back to stone."

The others nodded even Trixie nodded in agreement. She remembered vaguely Discord had her riding a unicycle and juggling balls during his rampage across Ponyville. Still, she couldn't recall him putting a curse on her. Celestia just rolled her eyes, "I agree that would be something he would do."

Luna gave a sigh and replied, "well…honestly, it doesn't matter how we were transformed. I'll explain my plan on how we'll turn back to normal. There's another world where creatures of other constellations gather together and live together. It's a dangerous realm like the Ursa Minor that attacked Ponyville. In the center of their realms, a pool can separate the curse of a constellation creature. I have found a portal that will take us to another universe, and it resides deep in the Everfree forest. There I'll lead you through the other side and that we will find this pool, take a dip, and then we should all be turned back to normal."

They all clapped and cheered as the light blue bear bowed before plopping back down on her rump.

"What are we waiting for, let's go!" Celestia exclaimed; she stumbled about, trying to leave only to stumble about and falling onto her rump.

Luna couldn't help but laugh, "before we go, we need to get used to these new bodies."

"Right!" Trixie exclaimed; the other just looked at her with a stone glare. The blue mare just scoffed. "Well, Trixie has been an Ursa Minor the longest out of all of you, so it only makes sense that I'm the one to teach you."

The blue-coated Ursa Minor rose up. "First off, let's go outside where we can practice."

"Alright, good idea." Celestia yawned as she rose up along with her sister and Twilight. The four-headed out to Fluttershy's yard where Trixie explained, "alright, let's go through a basic walk. Trixie will show you that you're probably two tons of mass than you're used to. So the idea is that you want to adjust your weight on your paws." Trixie held her head up as she walked around the yard, shifting her weight about like a natural. The other three shrugged and followed suit stumbling along after her. Twilight went slow, stumbling on her paws slowly to take it slow and steady. While celestia seemed to be using her large rump swaying it back and forth with a matter of pride. Luna seemed to be the most natural keeping up with Trixie. The light blue-coated Ursa Minor couldn't help but admire Luna and asked, "wow, you're doing really well better than your sister and Twilight."

"Well, I've studied creatures of the constellation for years, so I got the gist of how to walk Ursa Minor and Ursa Major," Luna replied as she nuzzled into Trixie. The light blue-coated bear couldn't help but shiver, getting gratification from one of the princesses! It's all she's ever dreamed of! She had to help them turn back to normal then they would be indebted to them. Trixie turned to see that the others all had gotten the hang of it but seeing Celestia swinging her giant tush about made her burst into laughter.

Fluttershy came over with a smile, "oh, looks like you four are doing well, "she took out giant foal bottles and gave each of the oversized bears one. Trixie took her's with no fuss, but Twilight just shook her head and snapped, "no way am I drinking out of one of those!"
"Come on, Twilight, you need to drink up," Fluttershy cooed as she held up the bottle into her friend's face trying to get her to drink. The yellow coated pegasus continued to coax her. "You know you can't digest anything else, and you need to eat; now go on."

Twilight growled and relented as she took the bottle and plopped it into her mouth. She suckled on the bottle for some time without even realizing it. Fluttershy went to the princesses; next, they both didn't fight as they just took their bottles and started to chug them down rather greedily. Afterward, Fluttershy turned her attention back to Trixie and asked, "so you all have a plan yet?"

"Yeah, we do…I think they're getting used to their new bodies, but from what Luna said, we might need to fight, so we have to do some wrestling," Trixie explained.

"Alright, but don't get too rough. "Fluttershy cooed as she left them. The light blue coated bear turned to her fellow Ursa Minors, who finished their meals, and she continued, "That's right, we need to practice some wrestling; now can I have two volunteers."

Luna raised a hoof, and Celestia looked at her sister with a glare and held her up as well. Trixie couldn't help but snicker under her breath. She definitely wanted to see the two princesses wrestle each other. "Alright, come one, you two face each other."

The two princesses walked over to each other as they did, Trixie asked, and they stared at each other. The blue-coated mare then came over and rose up on her back paws. "Now, rise up just like this; easy does it."

Luna rose on her back paws almost perfectly, rising up with her forepaws held upward quite gracefully despite her pudgy form. While on the other hoof, Celestia stumbled right onto her bottom, making them all laugh as the princess of the sun grumbled under her breath. She got back up as she bent her legs down and raised her claws. She glared at her sister, getting a bit peeved at how much better she was as an Ursa Minor. The two locked eyes as Trixie replied, "now fight on the count of three...one...two...three!"

The two slammed their forepaws into each other, roaring and growling at each other. The dark blue-coated bear started to overpower her sister as Celestia then let Luna slam her to the ground by the princess of the sun, using her momentum to throw her sister off her and across the yard. Trixie clapped her paws together and applauded the fight, "well done."

Luna got up and roared, she then went at a full charge at her sister, and Celestia rose up on her back legs, bracing herself once more, being ready for the charge. As the dark blue coated bear slammed into her sister. Celestia held her growling and grrrd, and then Luna tossed Celestia over her. Still, the white-coated bear smirked, sitting down on her sister, who roared and growled! Trixie rolled her eyes, "alright, Celestia, that's enough."

Celestia pouted but she eventually got off her sister, who in turn grumbled, "fat butt,"

"Showoff," Celestia snapped back as she walked off.

Trixie pointed a paw at Twilight; she was still rather angry at her rival and snapped, "All alright, it's your turn, you and me."

Twilight came over and readied herself, as did Trixie; they both glared at each other as Trixie raised on her paws with a smirk; Twilight slowly raised her as well, getting into a stance.

The blue-coated bear knew Twilight wouldn't make the first move, so she needed to move fast. The mare ran at the violet-coated bear at full charge. She bowed her head and let her body weight hit Twilight at full force. Twilight used her paws to wrap them around the blue bear and then slammed her on the ground. She had this smirk that made Trixie hate her even more. She roared and then threw Twilight off. They both then glared at each other, then they ran at each other at full speed and slammed into each other; they dug their back paws into the dirt, growling and roaring, snarling like beasts. Neither one was letting up as they were releasing all their anger on each other. Trixie, however, had more experience; she went for a hug around Twilight's torso and tackled her to the ground, and turned to Luna, who clapped. Trixie got off Twilight, who reluctantly helped her up. Fluttershy came over with a smile on her face, "sounds like you four are having fun,"

"Yes, we are!" Trixie cheered, still happy about her victory over Twilight. She came over and nuzzled Fluttershy, who dawwed, "oh, you're just so adorable! But are you ready for your little adventure?"

She looked at the three sweaty panting Ursa Minors; they looked beat, but she saw that each of them, even Twilight got a handle on their new bodies, "well, they need work, but we should be fine. Besides, we need to do this before ponies start to notice that the sun's been up for too long."

"Right," Celestia and Luna both replied in agreement.

"Alright, then well, I know that for all of you, this might not sound like a good idea, but I'm leaving Trixie in charge," Fluttershy replied rather sternly.

They all wanted to protest, but the pegasus held up a hoof. "Now, I know you might not agree, but she has the most experience as an Ursa Minor."

Luna glared at the mare and snapped, "but I'm the one who knows how to navigate the realm of the constellations."

"Yes, you may, and you can still do that, but Trixie has to make sure you don't overexert yourselves, make sure you're fed, and keep you safe," Fluttershy explained as she gave her an oversized saddlebag strapping it around the giant blue bear.

Trixie muttered bitterly under her breath. Fluttershy had a point, but…having to take care of the princesses and Twilight? That was a lot of responsibility, more than she's ever had in her entire life.

Trixie gave one last breath, "all alright, i’ll do it," She then rose up as Luna held up a paw, "Alright! Let's get going; the faster we turn back to normal, the better."

They then all headed off to the Everfree Forest Trixie looked back at her with a smile as the pegasus waved a hoof. Trixie didn't realize how scared she was going off on her own without Fluttershy at her side…she shook her head. Trixie couldn't forget she was a regular unicorn at one point, not a helpless cub. She had to find her way out of this mess. Trixie rose up and headed into the woods along with the other Ursa Minors, ready to be a leader.
