Princess Luna landed in the cool sand with a soft thud. Flapping her wings shut, she paused, letting her hooves sink easily into the dirt. She smiled, enjoying the feeling as she trotted across the sand dune to meet with her student, Twilight Sparkle. She was unsure as to why her student had brought her to the beach, but as she looked to her left, she couldn’t help but be amazed as the tiny waves rolled in and out from the ocean. Her very own bright, beautiful moonlight was the backdrop to this entire peaceful and romantic setting. The moon shimmered along with the stars, creating a gorgeous pale hue upon the waves. Luna stopped to admire them for a moment, taking a deep breath. If she looked close enough she was sure she could see them dancing.
Luna continued to trot along the edge of the water, until she soon noticed a smaller set of hoof steps in the sand. She smiled to herself as she began to follow them. As she continued following up the curve of the dune, it wasn’t long before she spotted her adorable purple marefriend. Luna felt her mouth twitch upwards into a smile. It was an automatic effect Twilight Sparkle seemed to have on her these days. Twilight was standing in the middle of the sand, her back was adorned with her signature cutie marked saddle bags. Luna stayed silent as she approached, watching bemused as Twilight seemed to be talking softly to herself. Luna strained her ears, trying to get a good listen, but she was unable to make out the exact words.
Twilight took one last deep breath as she recited the words in her head and focused her energy. She could feel the powerful spark begin to emerge from her horn and just as she was about to concentrate all of that energy into her spell, she felt two warm forelegs wrap tightly around her chest. Twilight gasped as the familiar scent of a certain Princess wafted into her nostrils. Luna nuzzled Twilight gently and Twilight quickly turned to stare at her smirking marefriend. Her cheeks burnt red as the energy in her horn subsided and fizzled.
“D-Don’t sneak up on a pony like that.” She squeaked, though she nestled deeper into Luna’s embrace.
“Sorry about that.” Luna whispered into her ear, gently licking the tip.
Twilight shivered.
“You looked so adoraKable for a moment there. I just couldn’t help myself.”
Twilight turned slowly in her marefriend’s embrace. “AdorKable?” she asked.
“Yes. Rainbow Dash told me it was a word for adorable nerds. You’re the cutest most adorKable nerd I know.” Luna teased, running a hoof through Twilight’s mane.
“I AM NOT A NERD!” Twilight protested.
“Yes you are a very cute nerd indeed. That’s why you are ADORKABLE!” Luna squealed, hugging Twilight tighter as the purple unicorn struggled in her grasp.
Unable to overpower Luna, Twilight pouted for a moment until Luna began placing soft kisses all over her muzzle. As the seconds passed, Twilight finally broke into a grin and her hooves wrapped around Luna’s neck warmly.
“So my little adorkable Twilight,” Luna chuckled. “Why have you summoned me to the beach? Not that I mind, it’s gorgeous and the company is wonderful.”
Luna winked as Twilight smiled for a moment, looking into the Alicorn’s turquoise eyes. She then unravelled herself from Luna’s grip and stood in front of her teacher, smiling brightly. She removed the saddle bags from her back and with a look of deep determination she pointed at Luna.
“I’ve been waiting for the day I could perfect this spell. I think I’ve finally got it now. Please let me show you?"
Luna looked surprised but nodded her head. She was suddenly aware of how excruciatingly quiet the night was. The only sound she could make out was the loud thumping of her own heart. She looked up into the sky as a light breeze blew past her face. Something exciting was about to happen and she could feel it.
Twilight stood very still and concentrated slowly. Luna waited, holding her breath. Again the breeze blew softly against her muzzle and it was as if she could feel the power surging from Twilight’s magic. Twilight opened one eye and smiled.
“Are you ready for this?”
Luna could only nod.
“Close your eyes.”
Luna blinked. Had Twilight really asked her to close her eyes?
Twilight motioned for her to close her eyes once more and the Princess huffed. Sensing Twilight was serious about this as the wind around her began to thrash and swirl, she reluctantly let her eyelids close. Princess Luna waited for several seconds that seemed to go on forever. Suddenly the wind died down and she could no longer feel the energy that had surged moments earlier.
“Twilight?” she called out, slightly alarmed.
When no reply was heard, Luna instinctively opened her eyes. It took a moment for them to adjust to the darkness. The moonlight that had featured so prominently earlier seemed to have dimmed and the only sound she could make out were the waves of the water as they repeatedly splashed against the sand.
“Twilight?” she called again, with more urgency.
“I’m here.” Twilight whispered.
Slowly Twilight emerged from the shadows and stepped into the small patch of light illuminated by the moon. Luna gasped softly as she tried to process what she was seeing. Standing before her was no longer the purple mare that had been there moments ago. Luna drew in a deep breath and blinked. Surely this was just a trick.
“Luna, it’s okay. I know this is a bit of a shock, but if you’ll come closer, you’ll see it’s really me.”
The Princess waited a few more moments before she proceeded to move towards the creature claiming to be her Twilight Sparkle. The creature smiled reassuringly at her, and Luna continued to inch forward until she was close enough to inhale the air surrounding the creature. She wrinkled her muzzle as an unfamiliar scent filled her nostrils. It was not unpleasant, but it was unlike any creature she had yet to encounter in Equestria.
“Luna...” the creature trailed off, before reaching out to the Princess.
Luna’s eyes widened as the creature extended its long, slender arm in her direction. Her eyes travelled down the creature’s arm, to the outstretched hand that was being offered, and the five fingers that wiggled, beckoning her closer. She felt her breath once again hitch in her chest as she slowly trotted forward. The Princess lifted her hoof, pressing it into the palm of the creature’s hand. She gasped again as her hoof was squeezed lightly.
Twilight waited breathlessly as she grasped Luna’s hoof tightly with her hand, using her fingers to apply more pressure. She waited for her marefriend to say something but Luna was lost in her own world. Twilight giggled. Luna was so cute when she was perplexed. The giggling caused Luna to look up at Twilight. She looked stern as she searched Twilight’s face. Their eyes met for a moment and Luna finally broke into a grin. Although her form was different, there was no mistaking her marefriend’s gorgeous violet eyes.
“Twilight! It IS you! But how?” The Princess asked, her voice rising with excitement.
“Do you like it? I thought you would.”
“It’s amazing! You’re...you’re....you’re.....” Luna tried, but the words failed her.
“Human?” Twilight supplied, smiling at her marefriend’s disbelief.
“Human!” Luna echoed, still in shock as she began to inspect her student’s new body.
“You haven’t seen anything yet Princess.” Twilight promised, as Luna began poking and prodding with her hooves.
Suddenly Twilight felt both of Luna’s hooves on the soft flesh of her backside. The Lunar Princess grasped at Twilight’s skin and began slowly kneading her bum.
“How absolutely incredible.” Luna said with glee. “No tail? Where did it go? This is the most complex transformation spell I’ve ever seen.” Luna mused, continuing her inspection.
Twilight shifted uncomfortably. “Uhm Luna, maybe you shouldn’t touch that because it’s very...ahhh...sensitive.”
Luna was in study mode and completely oblivious to the fact that her touching was having strong effects on her naked, blushing student.
“Your mane looks so strange.” Luna remarked, looking at Twilight’s shoulder length purple hair, complete with its signature pink streak running through the middle. “And these? How marvelous!” Luna quipped, as she wrapped her forelegs around Twilight’s midsection and began playing with her ample human chest.
“Princess...please...”
“So soft and squishy!”
“Ahh....stop...”
Luckily for Twilight, her marefriend was distracted yet again as she began to inspect Twilight’s fingers and toes. Twilight breathed a sigh of relief and looked down as Luna began a rant about the wonders of ambidexterity. To further illustrate the point, Twilight took both of her hands and gently cupped them around Luna’s muzzle. Luna closed her eyes as she nuzzled into the touch. Twilight’s hands were warm, and her fingers were now stroking gentle lines across the Princess’ face.
“Hands are wonderful.” Luna sighed blissfully, as Twilight used her fingers to reach up and stroke her marefriend’s mane.
Having fingers running through her mane and over her body was a completely different sensation for Luna. It was hard to explain the feeling, but she felt warm all over. Twilight’s saddlebag suddenly opened and a blanket flew out of it. She then sat down, motioning Luna into her lap.
“How did you do that without your horn?” Luna asked, dumbstruck.
Twilight grinned and raised her pointer finger. It sparked for a moment, emitting a small amount of magical energy before the light dimmed and it returned to normal.
“You managed to transfer your magic into this form as well?” Luna asked, incredulously.
Twilight nodded, reaching out with her arms to pull Luna down to the blanket with her. Luna looked up at her with awe.
“You....are....AMAZING!” Luna said, wrapping her forelegs around human Twilight.
“Have I shocked and amazed you?” Twilight chuckled, running her fingers up and down Luna’s tummy.
“More then you’ll ever know.” Luna cooed, loving the belly rub.
“Well Princess, I’m afraid you haven’t seen anything yet.”
Luna felt Twilight’s fingers as they ran up from her tummy, over her chest and once again to her face. Before she could question Twilight, she felt warmth on her forehead, right below her horn. Twilight smiled as her finger pressed softly into Luna’s forehead and she closed her eyes, concentrating slowly.
“What’s happening to me?” Luna asked, as her body filled with magical energy.
Twilight’s finger sparked once again and her saddlebag was opened. An object floated towards Luna and as she reached up to grab it, she realized it was a mirror. Her fingers wrapped easily around it and that’s when she realized something wasn’t right.
FINGERS????????!
Luna grasped the mirror shakily and looked at the figure staring back at her.
“OH SWEET CELESTIA!” she cried out. “I’M...I’M...”
“Human?” Twilight finished.
“GORGEOUS!” Luna grinned, breaking out into a huge smile as she admired herself in the mirror.
At that moment Twilight Sparkle experienced her first human facepalm.
