//------------------------------// // Chapter Twenty Six: Of consequence and Reveal // Story: That One Time: Two Princesses Enjoyed Their Harem Honeymoon // by TheCrimsonDM //------------------------------// Chapter Twenty Six: Of consequence and Reveal Twilight stared in horror at the mirror for a good long minute. She couldn't believe what she'd just done, and to make matters worse, she had no idea how to even go about fixing this mistake. She wasn't willing to try experimenting with more spells considering the last one turned her into a dude. "Well... this is just wonderful." Twilight lowered her head and her horn lit up. She teleported herself, not back to the Bluebird Manor, but rather to her room in the hall of friendship. The first thing she was going to do was put on some clothing. She found that simple green dress that Rarity had made for her all those years ago. Despite Rarity's constant insistence that green was a horrible color, she had admitted that it looked good on both Applejack and Twilight. Wearing the dress would not only hide her new mistake, until she could figure out how to fix it, but it would also let her go back to the others and nopony would be the wiser. The only question left was, how exactly was she going to tell Luna about this, when it required breaking into Luna's room and her diary to achieve this disastrous result in the first place? She was pretty sure the only answer came in the form of groveling. Perhaps if she showed enough guilt over her actions, Luna may not punish her for this. Twilight found herself feeling rather foolish now that her original inspiration had cooled down. She read a few things about Luna in that diary of hers that Twilight knew was meant to be private. Not at all for her eyes. Twilight slammed her head into the desk. "Why am I such a fool?" She pulled back, and found her horn stuck into the desk... again. Well there was one fix for this. With the might of an alicorn, she could just summon up some of her magic. A lot of her magic. In fact she was using pretty much all of it that was left. In one blinding flash, Twilight's world changed. *** Applejack had come inside with Celestia by her side. She couldn't have been happier with the dinner. She didn't usually care for fancy dinners, but Celestia had found the perfect small town diner hidden inside the Crystal Empire. Some places they could just spend time together, talk, laugh, flirt. It was wonderful. Finally it had grown late so they went home. Applejack wasn't picky, so she was just fine with going home and finding out what the others had been up to. Once home they found everypony was already here, in the kitchen, at the table and playing a card game. It looked like Uno, and it looked like Pinkie was winning. At least, Applejack assumed that was the case, because she really didn't play that game. Everypony looked over at them. Rainbow Dash had far too many cards in her hooves. "Pinkie, just, cheated." "Did not," Pinkie retorted. Rainbow Dash glared at her. "How many cards did you make me draw?" "Twenty." Rainbow Dash nodded. "Cheater." Pinkie grumbled. "Don't be a poor loser, if you played your cards right you'd have won by now." Rainbow rolled her eyes. "Whatever... you owe me." Pinkie stared at her. "I do?" "Yep, make me cupcakes and I'll forgive you for cheating." Pinkie grumbled. "You know I think you just want cupcakes, you're trying to trick me aren’t you?" Rainbow snickered. "Who me? Nah, you're thinking of a smart pony." Applejack simply smiled and pretended like she understood the rules well enough to know why that was bad. Still she was happy to see they were having fun. All in all, it looked like it would be a great night. The air above the table flashed as a pink light appeared in the room. Everypony jumped back as something heavy fell down onto the table with a scream. The table collapsed, cards went everywhere, and left in the mess of table debris was Twilight Sparkle, wearing a green dress, with her horn stuck in a desk. Twilight nearly shouted, "AH! This is not fair. I thought I could teleport out of the desk and I instead teleported with it! " This managed to get a good laugh out of everypony there eventually though, Applejack had to tie a rope around Twilight's mid section and pull to get her unstuck from the desk. Once she managed that, Twilight awkwardly walked away, and toward the bathroom. She closed the door behind her and locked it. Applejack snickered. "Seems she's embarrassed." Rarity smiled. "I don't blame her. This is the fifth time in two weeks we've discovered her with her horn stuck somewhere it shouldn't." Applejack rolled her eyes. "I am pretty sure the bathtub faucet was the worst one." Rarity giggled. "Oh no, that was the best one. She was begging us to save her. She's so cute like that." Applejack cleared her throat. "Cute?" "Oh hush now, don't be a prude. Now let's tease her until she cries." Rarity began trotting to the bathroom door. Applejack just stared after her. "That sounds a bit mean." Rainbow Dash joined in. "She's really cute when she cries, I'll help." Applejack blinked. "You two can't just pick on her because she's cute when she's sad." Luna chuckled. "Oh don't worry, me and Celestia will care for her. Just a little teasing isn't a bad thing. Especially when I get the feeling that maybe, she might have it coming her way.” APplejack looked at her. "Oh how would you know?" "Let's call it a magical hunch." Celestia frowned. "You saw it too." "Yes dear sister, our little Twilight seems to have learned our secret spell. Oh I wonder how she learned to do that?" Applejack looked back at the door. "I have a feeling things are about to get crazy again..." *** Twilight had to admit, hiding in the bathroom was the worst plan she'd had yet. And staring at herself in the mirror as she began panicking was probably not helping either. Why did she have to be the most clumsy of them all, couldn't somepony else be the clumsy one, maybe Fluttershy? She laid her chin down on the bathroom counter and snorted. "I think I hate today." From behind the door she heard Rainbow Dash's voice. "It's okay head-desk, you can come out." Twilight glared daggers at the door. What did Rainbow Dash just call her? Rarity's voice came in next. "Shh, don't let her make fun of you. It's perfectly fine if you want to become one with a desk, we support your decision." Twilight growled. Fluttershy's voice chimed in. "O-oh, I didn't know that she wanted to be a desk. Um... c-could you not do that? I like you just the way you are. Even if you and desks don't really get along too well." Oh come on, even Fluttershy had joined in? Pinkie's voice followed. "Twilight the Deskcorn, no wait, Twilight the Desk-pony, no, no wait, Desklight Sparkle!" Twilight's eye twitched. Oh, she was going to punish them all for this. Finally Applejack's voice came in. "Come on now, y'all are gonna upset her." Twilight out a sigh of relief. Good old Applejack coming to her rescue like the big sister she was. "If'n you really want to make her cry, talk about how she looks like a desk." Twilight roared, threw open the door and glared at all the ponies just outside of it. They were all looking at her excitedly. Slowly though, their smiles and expectations fell as they realized Twilight was fuming. Rarity spoke first. "Darling, you're supposed to be crying. That way you'd look cute and Luna could cuddle you." Twilight's eye twitched again. "I, am, very, very, VERY, angry. With all of you." Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow. "I uh... oh wow." Twilight stared at her. "Wow what?" Rainbow Dash pointed at her. "Your dress is ripped." "Why would I care about such a-" Twilight noticed all eyes on her. She looked down and saw what they were staring at. She quickly slammed the door shut and locked it again. "Okay, plan 'wear a dress' failed. Next plan, blow up the mansion. hide all traces of my criminal actions. Flee into the wilderness." Once she began to hear Luna's cackling laughter from behind the door, along with dark slimy magical tendrils slipping under the crack of the doorway and Luna's voice purring, "I know what you did Twilight, and I am very, very displeased with you invading my personal space." *** Twilight lay on the bed, her rear exposed and sticking up in the air. It was stinging after Luna’s punishment. Not that Twilight minded as badly as she thought she would by being spanked, though she perhaps wished she wasn’t spanked in front of all of her friends. Luna was now laying next to her and massaging some soothing oil into Twilight’s flanks. “There, there. Are you okay?” Twilight looked up at her. “No, no I am not. I am stuck with a boy part between my legs and it feels weird to lay on.” Luna looked down at Twilight’s rear. “Well the good news is you entirely screwed up the spell. You still have filly parts too.” “Oh great, I’m a disgrace of mother nature, just like Rainbow Dash said.” Rainbow Dash snapped. “Hey, I didn’t say you were a disgrace. Just that you couldn’t leave nature alone.” Twilight buried her head into the pillow beneath her. “I’m sorry. I violated your trust, and your privacy. I hope you can forgive me someday.” Luna giggled. “Oh, Twilight. I already forgave you. I only even punished you because you really seemed into it.” Twilight swallowed. “That’s mean.” “Was it?” “N-no…” “No, what?” “No, my love?” Luna giggled again. “Oh you’re so innocent sometimes. You’re supposed to call me mistress.” “Why would I do that?” Luna’s tender hooves were already taking away most of the sting in Twilight’s rear. “It’s okay, you don’t have to do anything you’re not comfortable with. Though… I’d like it.” “Fine, mistress.” Twilight felt so weird calling Luna a mistress, it didn’t feel right.  Luna shook her head. “You don’t have to force it.” Twilight looked up at her. “So you don’t hate me?” “Of course not. I love you. But I do have to ask you something. Why did you do this?” Twilight looked back at her friends, seeing them all still watching her with some mixed interest. Then she looked down at the pillow again and frowned. “Your spell doesn’t really work well enough for you to… well… um…” “For me to do what?” “I…” Twilight closed her eyes shut tight and buried her head into the pillow. “I wanna make everypony pregnant.” There was a collective gasp. Luna only chuckled. “Oh, so you want to be the one to impregnate us. I was planning on doing that with Celestia here, but… I suppose you can help too.” Twilight looked up at her. “Can… Can I get you pregnant?” Luna nuzzled into Twilight’s nose. “You can certainly try. I have to admit though, we alicorns have… a problem.” Twilight nuzzled her back and then looked away. “No we don’t.” “Yes, Twilight, we do.”  “No, we, don’t.” Applejack was nearby. “Twilight, Luna, what are you two talking about?” Celestia cleared her throat. “I suppose you’d figure it out already though I thought you’d have already understood. Alicorns struggle with childbirth. It can take many decades of repeated and constant effort for an alicorn to get pregnant. Just look at Shining Armor and Cadance, they’ve yet to foal and they're still trying very very hard.” Twilight felt something inside of her shiver and break a little. “Y-yeah… that’s the problem.” Luna nuzzled into Twilight’s head. “Oh don’t worry, we have an eternity, we can keep trying until you have babies too.” Celestia closed her eyes tight. “Twilight…” Twilight pushed herself up. Her rear still stung from the motion but she didn’t want to sit there anymore. Luna gasped as she watched. “Twilight, my love. Where are you going?” Twilight felt her heart breaking inside. Luna didn’t know. None of her friends knew. Celestia only knew because she’d raised her, she’d been to the doctors with Twilight when she was younger. She’d spent money, resources, and time to try and find a fix for it. Yet there really wasn’t one. Even turning her into an alicorn wasn’t likely to fix the issue.  Twilight sniffled. “I think I have allergies. I’m going to take a bath alone, if you don’t mind.” Rarity spoke up. “She’s sad… but this doesn’t feel cute. Something’s wrong. Twilight, honey, what’s wrong?” Twilight walked to the bathroom and closed the door behind her. She locked it and slid to the floor on her sore butt. With a flicker of magic she turned the faucet on the tub, pouring water into the tub, but it didn’t do enough to mask her sobs as she realized that this stupid desire of hers to get her friends pregnant, it wasn’t just because she loved them. It was because at the end of the day, she knew she’d never be able to get pregnant herself. Due to medical complications, she just couldn’t bear children, and it was a heavy weight that had held her down for more years than she could count. Now she just… would have to live with that fact forever.
