Becoming Human
It had been a long week for Twilight, and an even longer two weeks ever since her coronation. Waking up on this particular day in the Canterlot Palace, was something she didn’t want to do, despite her diligence that didn’t mean there were days when Twilight just wanted to do nothing else than just sleep in her own comfortable bed. This was not meant to be however, she had to get up, and she had to attend to her duties of becoming a new Princess and Alicorn, not to mention she didn’t have everything figured out in that aspect either.
So with a slight groan as she woke up, still trying to become fully awake. Perhaps it was due to this fact, of her lack of coherence, she failed to recognize her direct change of setting, leaving her to fall flat onto her face while trying to get out of bed. Did I just fall off my bed and onto my face? Twilight asked herself with another tired groan Why does everything feel flatter... She wondered while pushing herself up, crawling forward in order to get her legs off of the bed, due to the fact of them being tangled around the blankets.
She was beginning to wake up a little faster, now noticing the oddities around her, or to be more specific, her own body. What is wrong with my legs... She paused a moment at that thought briefly. Legs... not hooves? Why would I think legs... Also my arms and hands seem to be slimmer and longer, and my fingers... wait a tick, hands... arm... elbows... fingers?
Twilight’s eyes shot wide open, as she sat straight up on instinct, instead of standing up as she normally would. Looking down at her hands while she blinked several times. “No, no, no, this isn’t right... wait horn, do I still have my horn?” She brought her hands up to her face feeling a flatter face, the face of something that wasn’t an equine.
She felt her entire face in slight panic trying to find out if anything else was missing. “No horns... mirror, I need a mirror,” she said, suddenly feeling the shift in her body mass and weight. Especially on her back, as her new wings also had shifted in weight as well. Twilight had never been particularly vain, she did however have this undying need to figure out things beyond her understanding or knowledge, and when said things pertained to her well... wouldn’t you want to see what’s happened to you?
Despite her own typical tendencies in falling into modes of unreasonable panic, or moments of brief insanity, and of course the occasional flare up here and there, this was not the time to be losing her mind, though that wasn’t to say it wasn’t awfully tempting to do so. Freaking out would solve nothing, even if her mind entered into a realm of chaos that Discord would love swimming in. She needed to go about this as calmly as she could, which meant to analyze and research everything that had happened to her.
Unfortunately this meant she needed to get to a mirror. It also meant walking, with a set of limbs she’s never used before. So needless to say, balance at this particular moment in time, wasn’t Twilights best foray. Nonetheless in her new body, she couldn’t help but stumble and crash into things, much like a baby learning how to walk.
This did not bode her well, as she soon found that she got injured more easily now. Which, at these painful moments, only made her want to yell strange obscenities. Before finally reaching the cupboard that held the mirror, more or less intact. Just when she thought, the worst was over. Only too once again crash, as her body continued to adapt to her new form.
That is to say crash head first into the cupboard with a loud THUD which caused tears to swell up in her eyes as she held her head. “Sweet Celestia oooowww…” As she fought back her tears, she brought her other hand up to the top of the cupboard as her fingers gripped the edges slightly, which allowed Twilight to pull herself up to look in the mirror.
Upon her looking into the mirror, she found her entire face and structure to be completely different. How odd… She thought to herself as she brought her hand up to her face feeling it. Smooth… no fur except on the top of my head, but I suppose that’s to be normal no matter what the form. A slight pause Wait no, that’s hair, not fur… She let out a slight sigh, as she furrowed her brow.
I can’t see myself very clearly… she frowned slightly, looking around, This place has a larger mirror somewhere… now where was it again? Twilight couldn’t make a full assessment of what she was just yet, even though she was beginning to have suspicions. After looking around her entire room, her eyes finally met their mark.
While she appeared to be calm, the truth of the matter was she was barely in control of herself. Ok deep breaths, don’t freak out, don’t freak out… you just need to see how the rest of your body looks. After all it can’t be that bad… can it? Twilight asked herself as she went toward the mirror.
One glance into the larger mirror, almost caused Twilight to break down, before she turned herself around quickly. Ok, deep breath Twilight, you can do this. She told herself as she inhaled as much air as she could before exhaling, repeating the process several times before she managed to calm herself down. At least that’s what she had thought, before a twitch appeared on her face.
Ok, keep it together Twilight, sure you’ve become… entirely different, but it’s not like you haven’t faced stranger… right? She told herself as she found herself beginning to pace. I say that, but nothing like this has ever happened in Equestria, I mean not even Discord altered our bodies. She continued to pace as she chewed her lips slightly. And then there’s this fact of walking on two legs instead of four, and… and… She paused for a moment. And it seems walking on two legs has become natural… huh… convenient.
Alright keep it together Twilight, all you need to do is, turn around and study yourself… Turning around, yeah easier said than done as her body seemed to fight what her mind wanted, it to do. That was if it truly was something she wanted to do… Ok deep breaths Twilight, just relax, and view it as a new problem. She told herself as she closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and from there summoned up her courage as she turned around to look at herself more closely.
Now that she could see her entire body, she realized just how naked she was, staring at herself a long while, before instinctively pulling her wings around her so as to cover herself up. She felt her face heat up as it turn red in the mirror. “Strange, I shouldn’t be embarrassed about this . . . should I?”
This was all rather strange to her, despite that however, she did have a fairly healthy physique she noticed. Get it together Twilight this is just a new body and you’re alone in the room, it will get you nowhere if you freeze up like this. After all examining the working of this new body is the first step to figuring out what else you can do. She reprimanded herself.
The legs, arms, hands, and fingers, were all quite easy to figure out, as she practiced the movement of each as well as the use for hands and fingers. Octavia, Lyra, Vinyl, and other musicians are going to be quite happy about this I believe. Twilight began as she had already opened up a new notebook, she had many of them but this one would eventually be titled Workings of the Human Anatomy. Mostly due to, I believe the delicate and adverse intricate abilities in their movements, that should allow them to play their instruments more effectively.
Whether or not there is same type of effect for others, is yet to be seen, I however, can say that is a lot more fun writing with my hand. Though it did take me a little while to get the hang of it… but it’s going to be nicer doing it this way than with the mouth, or with magic for that matter.
Twilight placed the pen down slightly as she looked back up at herself in the mirror. Deciding to risk it eventually, she ran her hands across her skin first her head, down to her neck, shoulders, followed by the arms. From there she went onto the thighs and the legs. Lastly she decided to now focus on the center of her body as she ran her hands across it, causing her to gasp and moan in certain places, not to mention shiver the occasional time.
Clearing her throat and her thoughts back into the analytical, logical side of her mind, she went back to her notes. It would seem upon examining further… that our bodies as they are now, are simply more sensitive… especially in erm . . . Three or four particular areas, not a bad sensitivity mind you. Twilight let out a slight wistful sigh before getting back to writing in the notes. It did feel rather good after all, just a bit strange, and a little frightening at first, this is after all a new body that we are dealing with. It now falls on me to focus on the last part of the physical examination, which are the wings.
With that Twilight looked back at herself, as she opened up her wings, as a slight movement and sound of wind coursed through the room. She turned the tips of them any which way she could, though they only could do flexible forward motions and not backwards. Nothing really changed there, though she did discover that they could now wrap around her entire body quite nicely.
Lastly she went onto touching the tips edges and feathers, which at first caused her to shiver, then shake and at one point she let out something of a mix between a squeal and a moan. Before collapsing on the ground shaking in what she recognized as bliss, once it was over, she managed to pull herself up barely. Breathing slightly heavily she wrote once again. I have discovered that my wings in particular, can’t say anything about the others, but my wings, seem to now be hypersensitive to physical touch that is beyond air. I can only say that, I feel slightly dirty about this, but also know should anyone discover this, I would but fall into their clutches… and that is a little frightening.
Twilight took a deep breath, calming herself down, before entering a new entry simply known as magic. It is here now that I have discovered the workings of my body that I must now find if magic is available to us in this form. Sure we may be able to live without it, but it would still be sad for us all if it just disappeared. Not wanting to cause too much collateral damage, Twilight moved to the center of the room before closing her eyes and focusing, mainly on magic. It was at this point Twilight felt herself in the center of unlimited raw energy waiting to be harvested and used.
A simple tap into this wellspring of energy, caused Twilights body to levitate, and shine like a bright star before bursting out in all different directions. Twilight found herself on her hands and knees after she had collapsed, laughing, nearing the state of hysteria.
“What… what was that?” She asked herself still in a slight daze. “So much energy… so much power, I could do so much with that kind of magical energy at my disposal.” She let out an unnerving laugh. “One could even become-” A flash of Sombra appeared in her mind. “-Corrupt…” She finished quietly.
Calming herself down once again, she turned the page in her notes and began writing once again. My writing is slowly getting better I find, likely an after effect as well, but that isn’t the purpose of this entry. I haven’t quite yet gotten a grasp on handling magic in this form, and tests have proven to be… inconclusive thus far. Perhaps if I had something to concentrate on, I could handle it better, which makes me believe that the horns for unicorns are a type of filter as it was. Now that this has come to mind I wonder if…
The first thing Twilight decided to focus on was telekinesis, looking toward a book, she began to channel the energy through a pathway. There were many places she could send it, but at the moment she decided to use her eyes, which in turn started to glow as magical energy started to seep out of them like smoke. It was a success as the book levitated off from the shelf toward her. Taking the book, she cut off the connection to the magic allowing her eyes go back to normal.
I believe. Twilight began to write after the experiment. That my theory on needing a filter is correct, if it is not directed through a certain pathway and channels, it simply becomes overpowering. She once again set the pen down, letting out a yawn she began to wonder how her friends were faring and if they too had also been affected.
In her friends quarters, Pinkie pie was the first to wake up, and the first to notice the change. Applejack would be up shortly herself, as both her and Pinkies job required them to be up early. In a typical day it would go between Pinkie Pie and Applejack to be the first two to be up, followed by Fluttershy who would be woken up by the animals, then it would fall upon either Rarity or Twilight as the next two who would wake up, and lastly but not surprisingly Rainbow Dash who would always sleep the latest.
This was however, not what one could call a normal day, as Pinkie Pie took it upon herself to wake everyone up. “Hey everyone wake up! Oh right you might want to watch your step too, and it might be a good idea not to scream either… or you know… freak out. Freaking out is definitely not something you want to do right now… or maybe it is, hmmm…” She said while ending up with a contemplative look on her face at the end.
“Pinkie Pie what in the hay are you goin’ on about?” Applejack asked as she opened her eyes looking at Pinkie Pie. She blinked several times noticing the change in Pinkie Pie. “What in the sweet name of Celestia happened t’ you?”
Pinkie giggled slightly. “Why the same thing that happened to you silly.”
“What do ya mean the same thing that happened t’ me?” Applejack asked as she sat up. It was then reality came crashing down on Applejack, “no… no way no how this is happening, this is just a bad dream… yeah that’s it a bad dream…”
Pinkie thought for a moment, as she tapped her cheek three times with her finger, “Nope, it’s not a dream, but if it helps I could pinch you? Besides how would you even know to dream about, this… in the first place? Have you seen this figure somewhere before? I’d think it would be kind of strange if you had, unless you’ve been talking to Lyra…” Pinkie peered closer at Applejack. “Have you been talking to Lyra?”
Applejack blinked. “Uh… no I haven’t been speaking to Lyra sold her some apples though...” Which wasn’t saying much, considering that Applejack had likely sold apples to everyone in Ponyville. “This is really happening isn’t it? An’ ya wouldn’ happen t’ know what caused this to happen would ya?”
“No clue!” Pinkie Pie exclaimed a little more cheerfully than she should have.
“Ah didn’t think so, worth a shot though,” Applejack said with a sigh.
“Yuppers, oh you’re going to want to try and walk, but don’t worry you’ll likely fall the first few times. Not to worry the floor will catch you…” Pinkie said pulling Applejack up before she had anytime to protest.
“Whoa nelly.” Was all Applejack managed to say as she immediately began to stumble, and then of course promptly fall thereafter. “Pinkie!” was naturally the next thing that came out of her mouth.
“Whaaaaat? You needed to get up!” Pinkie Pie said obliviously innocently.
“Ya coulda warned me!” Applejack said as she began to pick herself up off the ground before beginning to wobble, and trying to balance herself on two feet.
“I did!” Pinkie paused, tilting her head slightly. “I think…”
“What on earth are you ladies going on about?” Rarity finally asked when she opened up her eyes, upon seeing the change in everyone's bodies she simply said. “Oh… dear.” Then promptly fainted.
“No ya didn’t besides ya coulda helped me a little more…” Applejack paused as she noticed Rarity faint. “On second thought, maybe ya should go an’ bring her back t’ her senses.”
“Hey what about me?!” Rainbow Dash asked, “I need help too!” She said as she found herself collide with the ceiling, and then promptly going randomly around the room. “I get up, my entire balance is off, and now my wings aren’t doing what I want!” Noticing the oncoming collision with Applejack she winced slightly before yelling. “AJ watch out!”
“Huh what?” Applejack didn’t have time to react, before she noticed Rainbow Dash on a straight colliding course toward her. “Oh fiddlesticks.” Was all she managed to utter before Dash collided into her with a resounding thud.
The crash caused both of them to become delightfully tangled with each other. Luckily they weren’t too badly injured, though the position they were in would remind one of a game of twister gone awry. After the appropriate groan and moan of slight pain, they both recovered enough to try and untangle themselves. Which was a feat of it’s own, seeing as how both of them were new to these new selves of theirs.
“Ah hahaha…” Dash laughed slightly embarrassed. “Well… this is…”
“Awkward?” Applejack finished for her.
Pinkie in the meantime had managed to find some of Rarities more… potent smelling salts. Of which she held up to Rarity's nose to help her recover from her fainting spell. Stirring a bit Rarity started regain consciousness before beginning to open her eyes rubbing them slightly.
“My word, I just had the strangest dream… or was it a nightmare? Anyway…” she blinked a few times, coming to fully now looking at Pinkie, before looking toward the others. “And none of that was a dream was it? Lovely… well I guess it can’t be helped now can it?” The question was more rhetoric than anything else, as she stood up. “A Lady must remain poised no matter what may happen to her,” she said before finding herself falling over.
“Careful!” Pinkie Pie tried to warn her, but she was too late.
Finding herself on the floor Rarity let out a small, "Hmph," followed by, “this is most certainly unbecoming of a Lady! And the floors cold, and I think I hurt myself.” She whined slightly, before her eyes caught the tangled forms of Applejack and RD once again. “By the way what happened to them?”
“Oh they had a biiiiig crash and totally got themselves into a tangled mess!” Pinkie exclaimed in that same, hyperactive slightly airheaded self of hers, “I should probably go and help them now too…” With that, she was at their side before Rarity could blink.
Looking them over, and ignoring their protests Pinkie Pie began to untangle Rainbow Dash and Applejack, “Hmmm lets see… this leg goes here, and this wing over there…” she began as she moved the appropriate body parts, “and this arm goes here, and that leg over that arm and… done!” she said jumping up after moving the last tangled body part.
“Ah swear… ifn’ ya spread a single word about this Ah’ll-” Applejack began once she was back up standing, a little traumatized by the entire situation.
“Hey I’m not too thrilled about this either, I won’t spread a single word,” Dash said cutting AJ off before she could continue, still feeling a little awkward about what had just happened herself.
“Ahem… While we can all agree, to… never speak of what was done and witnessed ever again.” Rarity coughed a bit, “I can’t help but notice that Fluttershy isn’t out of bed yet…”
“I bet she’s just hiding, she would in this kind of situation,” Dash said as she began to experiment once again with her wings.
A soft “Eep.” Came from Fluttershys bed as she curled up under the covers even more, “This isn’t happening, I’m not some strange unknown creature, and, and, I’m staying in here until it’s all over.”
“Oh come on it’s not that bad! No one is going to judge you or anything,” Dash said as she rolled her eyes. She then paused a moment or two thinking upon this. “Well maybe it is, I dunno… but we still won’t judge you.”
“No, I’m not coming out it’s too embarrassing, especially… especially these!” Fluttershy said with a slight whimper
“Fluttershy dear, whatever is the matter? Besides of course, us all being changed into something different.” Rarity asked gently, as she tried to figure out how to get up and walk.
“They’re… they’re… so big!” Fluttershy whimpered.
“What’s so big?” Rainbow Dash asked impatiently, as she hovered over to Flutterhshys bed. Noticing something, she looked down at herself, “Ha! It’s working! I can use my wings again! Yes!”
“Well... um…” There was a fidget under the blankets.
“Oh for the love of… we don’t have time for this! If we had to deal with our strange bodies then so do you, even if we have to help you with it!” And with that being said, Dash pulled the blanket off of Fluttershy revealing her form.
Another soft “eep” was heard as Fluttershy instinctively tried to hide her form.
It was at that moment when realization dawned on Rainbow Dash as she looked at Fluttershy, “Eh?” Then looked at the others one by one, “eh?” And finally down at herself, “EH?! Oh come on this isn’t fair! Why am I the smallest?!”
“Is that really the most important thing to be focusin’ on right now?” Applejack asked with an arched eyebrow.
Rainbow Dash thought for a moment, “I guess not… but it’s still unfair I mean why am I the smallest?”
“It’s ok Dashie, it doesn’t matter if you’re big or small it makes no difference on who you are. After all, we’ll all love you anyway,” Pinkie Pie said as she was currently having fun jiggling her breasts, before further going onto random acrobatic feats.
“Easy for you to say, yours are just as big as Applejacks.” Rainbow Dash retorted. “Also how-”
She was going to ask how Pinkie Pie was able to do all she did, before Pinkie pie cut her off by saying. “I dunno, I guess instinct? I just follow the movement of my body.”
Which of course didn’t explain anything, but could one really be surprised by this considering who it was? It did make a certain amount of sense, but the methods were still a mystery. From here, much like Twilight had, they all began to find themselves adapting to their new form rather quickly. Some could say that it took the same amount of time it took for Twilight to figure it all out herself, others could say longer, and some could say shorter, but none of that really mattered.
Eventually Rarity figured out how to use magic as her fingers glowed and started to gather her materials for the clothes, as what some could call small magical threads extended from her fingertips to those items. It wasn’t long before she had her sewing machines set up, clothes floating through the air with the use of the movement of one hand, and thread with the use of the other.
“Are ya really sure this is the best time to be making clothes?” Applejack asked as she looked toward Rarity.
Rarity looked over at Applejack and simply chuckled, “Why Applejack, this is exactly the right time to be making clothes. After all we simply can’t be going out there like this, it’s cold, and simply undignified, to be seen naked just as we are.”
“You know we were naked as Ponies right?” Rainbow Dash asked in a slight sarcastic tone of voice.
“Oh but that was different, we had fur, which mostly covered us, imagine yourselves without fur and only skin, and that’s what we are at the moment.” Rarity motioned her hand slightly, “besides I’ve always been particular toward clothes, as you all know, and this of course gives me a chance to do something different with them.”
“Oh! Oh! Does different mean making clothes that fit our current bodies?” Pinkie Pie asked as she appeared beside Rarity.
“Yes that is exactly what it means Pinkie Pie, now if you all don’t mind holding still while I get your new measurements,” Rarity replied as she brought out five measuring tapes, one to of course be used on herself as well.
“Aw man. I have to wear clothes now?” Dash complained slightly, “That is so not cool.”
“Now Rainbow Dash, you should know better than that, you’ve worn them before after all.” Rarity slightly reprimanded, as she took Dashes measurements as well as everyone else in the room.
“Yeah but those were special events, not something I did every day.” Dash rolled her eyes slightly.
“Well if you’ll just give me a moment, I will show you just how, cool as you say, clothes can be.” Rarity held up a hand stopping the rest from talking, “Yes I still know what you all prefer, for Applejack, something practical and not too girly, for Dash, something ‘cool and awesome,’ ” Making air quotation marks on Dashes part before continuing on.
“For Pinkie Pie, something fun and energetic, and for Fluttershy, something modest.” Rarity finished, “I only hope Twilight will be a little easier to deal with,” She said with a slight sigh.
“We’re not givin’ ya that much of a hard time, are we?” Applejack asked.
“No of course not Applejack, you just all complain about what kind of clothes you want me to make for you. Yes I get that you’re not entirely use to it, but now I feel it’s going to be a necessary, everyday thing, whether you like it or not,” Rarity replied as she finally finished up everyones clothes.
“There are of course, many questions’ about… our delicate situation of course, and heaven forbid anything… to happen during this moment that may startle us. The point is we need to figure out how and why this has happened, which means as always to go to Twilight first,” Rarity said as she handed everyone their clothes to put on, “Hopefully she’ll know what’s happened to us.”
It was at this moment Spike entered into their rooms, blinking several times as he did so. He had left early in the morning to get something to eat at his favorite donut shop before returning, deciding to check up on Rarity first before going back to Twilight as he normally would have. Perhaps it would have been best if he had done just that. For what followed, was a scream and Spike suddenly finding himself, tied up, hung upside down, and blindfolded, quicker than he could think.
“Did it ever occur to you to knock first maybe?” Dash asked
Spike wiggled a bit, “Hey what happened? Why am I tied up? And what happened to you guys?” He asked trying to get himself loose.
“That’s simply none of your business,” Applejack replied with a slight hmph.
“Spike really, so rude, you should know better than to just walk into a Ladies room,” Rarity said as she finished putting on her clothes, “Come on Ladies, we simply must find Twilight, and get some answers.”
“Hey what about me? Aren’t you going to let me down?” Spike asked in a worried voice.
“Sorry Spike, we’ll be back after we’ve talked to Twilight, perhaps this will teach you to knock first in the future,” Rarity said as she left the room with the rest of the girls.
“For whatever, I did. I’m sorry!... Girls?... Girls?” There was no reply. They were already gone.
“Are ya sure it’s ok to leave him hangin’ like that?” Applejack asked as she looked back where they came from.
“Oh I’m sure he’ll be fine, an hour or so won’t kill him, if we’re even gone that long,” Rarity said as she continued to walk the halls toward Twilights room.
“Well if’n ya say so,” Applejack said as she walked along with them.
When they had finally reached Twilights room, it had been turned into a room of chaos, with books everywhere, and Twilight frantically writing down notes. It was at moments like these when no matter how many times you softly called her, she’d be too distracted to notice them.
Well that was until they all yelled in unison, save for the ever reserved Fluttershy. “TWILIGHT!”
The yell startled Twilight as she jumped, “Y...Yes?” She turned toward the door noticing her friends, “oh it’s just you girls, don’t startle me like that.” She said as she took in everyones figure.
From first look Rainbow Dash seemed to be the most petite of the group, which explained her small outburst in the other room earlier. Though not the shortest, slightly tanned as well and, of course her rainbow hair stayed the same, even in this form, all of theirs did as Twilight came to notice rather quickly.
Twilights eyes went to Applejack next, who was the most well tanned of the group, likely due to how much she worked under the sun Twilight could only guess. At little more toned than Rainbow Dash, with bigger thighs, and breasts about the same size as Pinkie Pies. Dash while athletic didn’t have the abs on her stomach like Applejack did.
Pinkie Pie, who had her typical cheerful grin on her face, was a little hard to ignore, with her bouncing around the room inspecting Twilights work, as Twilight noticed she was slightly more well endowed, and for being a pastry chef, in better shape than Twilight would have guessed, almost athletic from the looks of things. Not to mention that Applejack and she had the second largest breasts of the group following after Fluttershy.
Eventually Twilights eyes fell upon Rarity, who seemed to be the palest of the group, and holding the most grace in this new form compared to the others. It made sense really, after all Rarity without that grace, simply wasn’t Rarity. She seemed to have more of Twilights own build, as Twilight came to notice, save for being the second smallest in chest size but certainly not flat.
Lastly Fluttershy who had the biggest chest size of the group, along with being the second palest with about as fair a skin as Rarity... How was that even possible? Oh yes Rarity and Fluttershy got together weekly for their regular foray Twilight reminded herself.
The time it took her to analyze how everyone looked, was about the same reaction time for the others to not notice, except maybe Rarity who was eying her back due to her attention to the smallest details. Which didn’t take her long as Rarity noticed that size wise Twilight fell third into the category of height and breast size. As well as despite what others may think, Twilight looked fit, despite constantly being called an egghead. Unlike the others however, Twilight was completely nude.
“Well maybe if you had heard us the first few times, we wouldn’t have needed to yell,” Rainbow Dash said, “though it’s nice to know we’re not the only ones.” Rainbow Dash went over and hugged her.
This ended up surprising Twilight, she didn’t see Rainbow Dash as a, touchy feely type of girl, and while it was nice it did cause her to blush a little.
Noticing this Rainbow Dash smirked and whispered into her ear, “The things I could do with you.” Which, only caused Twilights face to turn a deeper shade of red.
“Dash, what did ya say to Twilight?” Applejack asked, narrowing her eyes suspiciously, as she next approached Twilight.
“Oh nothing,” Dash said innocently as she stepped away from hugging Twilight.
“Don’t worry ‘bout Dash, she’s jus’ teasin’ ya,” Applejack said as she came up and hugged her as well, in a typical southern way.
This only caused Twilight to gasp sharply, either Applejack somehow got stronger, or then this was what the regular strength of her hug was in this form, “Applejack… can’t… breath,” Twilight managed to gasp out.
Applejack laughed apologetically, as she released Twilight from her iron hug, “Sorry ‘bout that Twi, didn’ know Ah was that strong.”
“It’s alright Applejack, there’s a lot to our bodies we don’t understand yet.” Twilight said, and was about to continue before she was interrupted.
“Oh are we doing hugs now? I love giving hugs!” Pinkie Pie shouted in glee before she lunged toward Twilight.
“Pinkie wait, hold on just a-” Twilight found herself promptly glomped as she was tackled to the floor, “-moment,” she said after it was all said and done.
“Now ladies, if we are done, teasing, squeezing, and tackling our dear friend and Princess here. If you could but give her some room to think, I’m sure she would appreciate it,” Rarity spoke up as she saw Twilight get frisked, some subtle others not so subtle from three different sides.
“Oh whoopsie” Pinkie said with a slight laugh, before she got up in a slight bounce but still hyper “Hey Twilight! Twilight!” Pinkie bounced up and down with excitement, “These...” pointing to her breasts “Bounce! And... AND!” she started to do perfect cartwheels across the room, “Isn’t this AWESOME?!”
“Um… right… that’s… great Pinkie.” Twilight looked at Pinkie slightly bewildered before turning back to the others pointing to Pinkie. “Any of you care to explain?”
“It’s Pinkie Pie, do you really need to ask?” Rainbow Dash asked back with an arched eyebrow and crossed arms.
“No, I don’t suppose I do,” Twilight said with a sigh, “since you’re all like this, I can assume that everyone else is as well yes?” Everyone... not everypony? Twilight asked herself, “No don’t answer, that was a rhetorical question,” she said as she picked herself up off the ground
“Even if ya say that, Spikes still spike,” Applejack responded in her typical southern accent.
“So Spike’s still a dragon, which means whatever this is only affected us ponies? No don’t answer that either, just was thinking out loud.” So much was going through Twilight’s mind before she realized that they were all dressed. “Wait... you’re all dressed…” She turned her eyes toward Rarity. “Your work Rarity I presume?”
Rarity gave one of her ever so feminine chuckles “Oh but of course Twilight, who else would get us all dressed so fast?”
Twilight continued to look at Rarity before she conceded a sigh. “Touche, shouldn’t surprise me, I suppose. The clothing seems to match them all as per usual,” Twilight said with a slight shiver, before she started levitating items up off the ground.
“Of course they match darling, I wouldn’t be good at my job if they didn’t after all. Besides heading out cold and naked is simply undignified for a lady, so I set up to make them their clothes, well that was once I figured out how my magic now worked.” Rarity said as she began to go through her fabric while eying Twilight. “Mind you it took me a little while, but eventually I figured it out. In either case once that was all done, we decided to head over here… and speaking of clothes my dear you are in dire need of them yourself.”
Twilight upon seeing all the measuring tapes, and fabric, for some inexplicable reason found herself tense up and her wings wrap around her. “I’m uh… a little sensitive… still surely you don’t,” she let out a slight cough, “need to, use all that… do you?”
Rarity frowned slightly as she saw Twilight unintentionally resisting. “Now Twilight lets be reasonable. These measuring tapes will allow me to accurately measure you. I could just eyeball it I suppose, but then they won’t fit you exactly… you know that right?”
Twilight shifted slightly, “Well… yes, but still, I don’t know how I feel about getting fondled by tape in some of my most sensitive areas…”
Rarity sighed, of course this was bound to happen, due to all the unwarranted touching and frisking she had just received. Though why they had decided to go so far she could understand. Twilight was rather attractive in this form… just like in her previous one, most of the girls were but still. Or was it their personalities that caused them to go so far?
She was thinking too much on it, Rarity decided before shaking off the thoughts and snapping her fingers. “Applejack, Rainbow Dash, would you be so kind to hold Twilight in place while I take her measurements? Squirming isn’t exactly going to allow me to take them accurately.”
“Oh, are you kidding? It will be our pleasure!” Rainbow Dash said with a slight grin as she took one side of Twilight, as Applejack took the other.
“Now Twilight, t’ain’t nothin’ t’ be scared of, we’re all women here.” Applejack said trying to sooth her.
“Now Twilight if you could be so kind to open up your wings, lovely as they are, though I could get Dash to open them for you if you can’t.” Rarity said with her back turned to Twilight as she went through some fabric, the other reason was to hide her devious smirk. “After all, I’m sure she would know all the intricate ways of doing so.”
Twilights wings suddenly burst open, causing Dash and Applejack to duck so they didn’t get smacked in the face. “Ok, fine, point made.” The last thing she wanted was for Dash to find all her weak spots at the moment. She didn’t think Dash would ever let her live it down if had allowed her to do so.
“Well that was fast.” Dash said with a mischievous smirk. “A pity though, I would have loved to find out what makes your wings tick.”
“You’d like that wouldn’t you,” Twilight muttered slightly
“I would.” Dash whispered into her ear teasing her as Twilight blushed, before bursting out laughing. “Oh man Twi. You are so easy.”
“Ladies…” Rarity said sternly before turning around levitating the measuring tape toward Twilight. “Thank you.” She said once they stopped talking, as she began to take Twilights measurements.
Twilight shuddered when the tape touched her naked skin, for two reasons, the first one was feeling cold tape on her skin, the other, were the sensitive places it touched, thankfully with Applejack, and Dash there it wasn’t too bad.
Rarity once she got all the information she needed. “Alright you can let her go ladies. I’ve got the accurate measurements.” She said as she began to work on Twilights clothes. “I do hope you’ll be fine with a dress Twilight, after all you’ve been fine with them before.”
“Anything as long as it will cover me up.” Twilight said as she shifted once Dash and Applejack had let go of her.
“Excellent” Rarity said happily “Unfortunately, I’ve had... more trouble with some other people... huh that word... sounds rather strange on my tongue... Anyways, Rainbow Dash insisted on something sporty, so I reluctantly made her shorts and a sports T-Shirt.”
Rainbow Dash grinned “Isn’t it awesome?” Showing it off after letting go of Twilight It seemed that room at the back of her shirt had been left for her wings to fit through.
“Yes quite... ” Rarity responded, before continuing.”Applejack of course refused to wear anything ladylike, it’s just like her you know, but continuing on I gave her some jeans, and of course a cotton button up shirt, boots of course were a must, and her hat needed to be modified of course, but now she looks like a good ole fashion cowgirl.”
“She’s somethin’ ain’t she?” Applejack smirked after letting go of Twilight as well. “Still amazes me on how quickly she comes up with these designs.”
“Well it is only natural since it’s my talent after all.” Rarity agreed “But anyway, Pinkie Pies was relatively alright by my standards, she wanted a pink skirt and a matching shirt, that would look like fun to wear at a party, and so I did.”
“It’s the bestest!” Pinkie Pie shouted with glee, jumping up and down in the same said glee before doing a flying flop onto the bed with a long, “wheeeeeeeee” Following her as she did so, only causing the bed itself to bounce as well.
“Um... right” Twilight said still not sure, on how she should have responded to that.
Rarity smiled as she continued to work on Twilight's dress “I’m glad you like it Pinkie,” Rarity replied before continuing her story. “Fluttershy wanted hers to be modest so I made her a nice long sleeve shirt to go along with her adorable yellow dress. Isn’t she just a darling?”
Fluttershy blushed slightly as she shifted her toes slightly “It’s very nice, thank you very much, Rarity” She said quietly as usual.
“You’re quite welcome, Fluttershy” Rarity was almost done with Twilight’s dress by this point. “I of course made myself this fabulous light violet dress, made out of silk, and I found these absolutely gorgeous golden bracelets with gems inside them to go with it as well. As Fabulous as my dress is, your dress will simply have to surpass it, you are a princess now after all.”
“Um... a simple dress would be... fine?” Twilight asked slightly sheepishly
“Oh no, no, no, I’m afraid that won’t do, besides I’m almost done,” Rarity paused a moment. “Scratch that, I am done,” she held up a beautiful Royal Purple dress to Twilight which held a star in the center amongst a few sapphire stars near the end of her dress to give it an extra sparkle, “Isn’t it lovely?”
Twilight looked at it for a long while, a little stunned by it and how beautiful it was. “It’s very lovely.”
“Wonderful, now lets get this on you, not to worry your wings won’t feel constrained in it.” Rarity said as she began to help Twilight into her new dress, once that was done Rarity picked up a necklace, “we’re not done yet.” Before putting the necklace around Twilight, which was in the shape of a star with wings coming out of it, all gold, and in the center of the star a purple diamond. After that Rarity took her hands and put on a gold bracelet on each hand.
“Um Rarity... isn’t this a bit much?” Twilight asked, as she shifted a bit.
“Not at all,” Rarity said brushing Twilights objections off. Once she was done, Twilight for the first time looked just like royalty, except she was missing her Element of Magic Tiara, which would only be the last piece. “After all” She muttered slightly, “it’s almost next to impossible to convince you to wear something so glamorous, even though you’re a Princess now.”
“Right well…” Twilight coughed awkwardly, “now that I’m all dressed, I must say, on how surprised on how well and calmly you’re all taking your new bodies.”
“Oh that... um...” Rainbow Dash stalled, the truth was they weren’t all calm about it.
Applejack shifted a bit, looking away nervously. Trying to figure out how to voice their concerns.
Rarity coughed simply and pretended to busy herself with something else.
“Well um…” Was all Fluttershy managed before wishing she had something she could use to hide her face, so that her discomfort wasn’t shown.
“Oh! Oh! Me! Me! Me!” Pinkie yelled, “I got this” Coming closer to Twilight, as everyone else instinctively began to plug their ears.
Twilight was kind of confused by this, “Why are you all...”
And then it happened as Pinkie took a deep breath before shouting at the top of her lungs, extremely close to Twilights ears, “What’s going one, why are we in these strange bodies, are we Humans now? How are we adapting so easily? How are we going to go about our lives now, and HOW ARE WE GOING TO TURN BACK INTO PONIES?!” The last bit several octaves louder than the rest.
All of that left Twilight in what may be considered shell shock as she just sat there with a blank expression on her face, and her hair pushed over to the other side due to Pinkies yelling before it came back down. She just sat there for a few moments, trying to get her hearing back, and when she finally did, “Well that was... a mouthful... ” Now understanding why everyone else had plugged their ears.
Once she regained her composure she began to speak again, “Well before you all decided to enter, that is what I was looking into, well that and how to fully utilize my magic, and body, but in either case…” The books began to be put back into their proper places, “I haven’t been able to find anything on this level of magic, or effect in my own records which means, we will have to check the Royal Library, as well as the Archives if we hope to find out anything.”
Twilight paused for a moment, why wasn’t Spike here? Te normally came far before this time of day to help her out. “Before that though... where’s Spike?”
“Oh him?” Rainbow Dash said. “Well, he’s... kinda tied up... literally.”
Twilight arched an eyebrow toward Dash “Right... well then first we’ll go and retrieve Spike, as I’m sure he’s been tied up long enough... and then we’ll go straight to Princess Celestia, and then to the Royal Library, followed by the Archives.”
“Sounds like a plan.” Applejack responded finally “Shall we go then? Considerin’ ya know where yer goin’ better ‘en the rest of us we’ll let ya take th’ lead.”
Twilight nodded, as she got up putting on the shoes rarity had made for her before heading out of her room with the rest of the girls in tow.
