The evening was settling in. The sky had started giving way from blue to the lightest shades of pink and orange. Fluttershy was in her room getting ready for a meetup with Rarity, Coco Pommel, and Sassy Saddles. Her stallion friend, King Sombra in his usual (very near bare) regalia, came in to check on her. She was still in the middle of doing her hair and hadn’t started getting dressed yet aside from a green top as her loungewear. A very devious idea popped into his mind.
“Do you remember last Nightmare Night when I shifted into a creature from the depths of Tartarus to scare you?”
Fluttershy paused fussing with her hair and glanced back at him. “I really wish I didn’t, but yeah.”
The smirk on his face became a grin. “I’m capable of taking on other forms, you know. I can demonstrate if you’d like.”
She took a minute to think. “Sounds ominous and terrifying. No thanks.”
Turning to the living shadow, his crimson eyes glowed emerald green as he began to rearrange, as evident by the shifting of his voice. “I assure you it’s nothing frightening. I’ll show you.”
“Uh…” A shivering tingle raised Fluttershy’s spine.
Slowly, the shadow being began to reshape and solidify. The lower body was the first to be revealed. “There are some limitations when taking on the solid form of somepony else, but…” The voice reverberated, changing from male to female. “It serves its purpose well enough.” The torso, chest, wings, hair, and face were revealed next. Soon Sombra had finished taking shape, forming into an exact of Fluttershy! Just as an onyx beauty! Even his voice copied hers. “So what do you think? I’d say I did a rather accurate job mimicking your shape.”
Fluttershy was stunned into silence. And maybe mildly freaked out. While yes, it was impressive that her shadowy stallion friend could copy her shape, it was not something she could wrap her head around. She didn’t even want to. “Change back right fucking now,” was all she could say, and went off to shower. She may, or may not, have been feeling some…interesting things.
