//------------------------------// // Chapter 8: Harmony // Story: Ink // by Cyanjames2819 //------------------------------// In the morning light, I opened my eyes and yawned. I rubbed my eyes and blinked a few times. I looked at Fluttershy and she slept comfortably. I breathed in and I felt two bulges on my chest. I froze and slowly looked to see what was there. I expecting to see Fluttershy's hooves but what I saw was nothing like that. "What in the" I quickly covered my mouth in shock and my eyes wide as diner plates. "Ooo" I said silently and I couldn't believe it, my voice was gentle and soothing. I got under the covers and looked in my shorts to check if my manhood was still intact. "Uh oh" I popped my head out and slowly got off the bed. I silently ran to the bathroom and closed the door. I turned on the lights and looked at the mirror. I quickly covered my mouth to prevent yelling out loud. My hair was long and wavy, I had breasts on my chest, my body was smooth and curvy and my manhood was missing. "Oh no" I said in disbelief. I looked out the door and looked around. I stepped out then saw a hoof come out of Fluttershy's room. I quickly got back in the bathroom and closed the door. "Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no" I said frantically and looked around. "Um, Winter? Is that you?" I heard Fluttershy. "Ye" I stopped myself and cleared my throat, "Ye-yeah" I tried to change my voice. "Are you okay? You sound a little funny?" she said. "Um" I couldn't hide my voice anymore and sighed in defeat. I slowly opened the door and looked out, covering my body, "No, I'm not Shy" I said to her. She took a step back, "Who are you?" her wings started to spread. "I'm Winter, James" I said to her, still covering my body. "W-Winter? But your, you look" she tried to say. "I know, but I don't know what happened. I just woke up like this" I said to her, "But I'm still Winternight, Fluttershy, I am" I tried to assure her. "O-okay, but why are hiding behind the door?" she asked. "Um, I'm exposed. Can you get my cloths please?" I asked. "Oh, okay" she ran to her room and came back flying with my clothing of her hooves. "Thanks" I grabbed my t-shirt, put it on, then my pants, and socks. I came out fully clothed and it was a little weird having breasts on my chest. "O-oh my" Fluttershy said when she saw me. "I know" I said and looked at myself. To be honest, I didn't look all that bad, hot really. "Maybe we should go show Twilight after breakfast" Fluttershy said to me. "Good idea Shy" I agreed. "Oh my, Winter? Is that you?" Twilight said, awestruck. "Yes, I'm Winter" I answered, sitting on the couch with Fluttershy beside me, "So can you fix this?" I asked and gestured to me. "I don't know, maybe, but if I don't know what caused it, then I don't know what to do" she said to me. I hung my head, "Great" I said. "Don't worry Winter, I'll try to find out what happened, but I have to stop on how to get you home first" she said to me. "Yes, yes! Please!" I said to her and hugged her tightly. "Mmmph!" I heard. I looked down and saw Twilight's head was stock between my breasts. "Oh! Sorry Twilight!" I started blushing. "I'm not use to having these yet" I said to her. Twilight blushed a little, "It's okay, I'm fine" she assured me. At lunch in Sugar Cube Corner, I had a hard time explaining to Pinkie that I was Winter and prevented her from making a welcome party for me again. In the school, I had to explain that I was Winter as well. The teacher Cheerilee believed me and I got out to find Applebloom. I spotted her on our little spot, taking out her fiddle. I got over to her, "Hey Applebloom" I greeted her and sat in front of her. I put down my case and opened it up. I looked at her and saw she looked at me like I was someone entirely new. "Who are ya'?" she asked, looking at me weirdly. "Oh I forgot, I'm Winter. Um, I… I have no idea what happened to me, but I'm still Winter, honest" I said to her. "Okay, if ya' are, then what was the song ya' gave me yesterday after school" she said to me and crossed her fore hooves. "Bunny Hope of course" I answered and started humming the tune. "Oh, ya' are Winter!" she looked surprised. "Um, so what now?" she asked. I took out my fiddle, "We play of course! Only have four days of practice left" I said to her happily. We practiced and practiced, taught a few new tunes and practiced. By the end of school, she learned three new tunes. "Very nice job Applebloom. You're going to better then me in no time" I said to her. "Thanks, and one more thin'" she waved me closer. I leaned in, "Ya' have yourself a few eyes on ya'" she whispered to me. I thought about it for a moment then my eyes went wide, "What? Oh no" I said. "Great, the last thing I need is a stallion hitting on me" I thought to myself. "So what're ya' doin' about that?" she asked. "I'll deal with it" I answered. "Okay, see ya' later Winter" she trotted off. "Later!" I replied and waved. I packed my fiddle in the case and started going. "Ah! Winter! Wait a moment!" I heard and turned around to see who called my name. Octavia trotted up to me, "Um, do you want a diner with me and Vinyl tonight?" she asked. "Uh, sure, okay" I answered. "Okay, see you later" she said goodbye and went back in the school. It was a little weird walking through Ponyville being a human female. I bet I looked a little weirder to other ponies with my curves, breasts, long hair and a slim body. When I reached the cottage, I felt so relieved. I got in, hung up my hat and took off my shoes. "Shy! I'm back!" I yelled and I heard fluttering wings going down the stairs. "Oh, hi Winter" she greeted me. "Need any help?" I asked. She lightly shook her head, "No, but thanks for asking" she answered. I started going up the stairs with my case on hand, "I'll be having a diner with Octavia and Vinyl in an hour" I said to her and started going through the hall. "Okay" she said. I got in the room, put the case on the bed and started going towards the bathroom. "If you don't mind, I'll be taking a shower Shy" I said to her. "Okay" Fluttershy answered. I got in, and started up the shower. I started taking off my cloths and looked at myself in the mirror. "Hm, not bad" I made a few poses and laughed before going in the shower. After twenty minutes and popped out my out of the curtains and forgot to grab a towel. "Oh great" I said to myself and turned off the shower. "Um, Shy!" I yelled for her. "Yes?" I heard. "Uh, c-can you get me a towel. I forgot to grab one" I asked. "Okay" I waited a moment then heard her again. "I got it" she said. "The door's open" I said. And slowly, the door started to open and Fluttershy's head got in first with her eyes closed and the towel on her mouth. "Closer" I said. She took a few steps closer, "A little closer" I said again. She took another few steps. I started reaching, "Almost got it… Whoa!" but then I slipped and fell towards Fluttershy. I landed on top of her, fully nude and wet. "Ow…" I rubbed the side of my head. I looked and saw Fluttershy under me. "Mm, huh?" she opened her eyes and her whole face started to turn red. "O-oh my" she said. I quickly got off and covered my body with the towel. "I'm so sorry Shy, did I hurt you?" I fixed the towel covering my body and helped her up. "Are you okay?" I asked again, holding onto her cheeks. "Um, yes, I'm fine" she answered. I hugged her tightly, "I'm so sorry Shy, I'm so clumsy" I apologized again and kissed her forehead. "I-it's okay, I'm fine" she said in her flushed face. I sighed in relief, "Good" I said. I got to my room and started looking through my extra cloths. I took off my towel and dried up my hair with it. "O-oh my" I heard. I completely forgot she was behind me. Right now, I was so thankful I didn't have my manhood or it would be very, very awkward right now. I grabbed the towel and wrapped it around my waist, "Oh, Shy, I forgot you were there" I said and covered my breasts with one arm and hand. "Oh, I'll be out now, s-sorry" she got out and closed the door. I sighed and face palmed myself, "Very clumsy" I said to myself and started putting on the rest of my clothing. I looked at the time and started heading down stairs. I got to the entrance, put on my shoes and hat. I looked back, "See you later Shy" I said to her on her couch. "Later" she replied, holding onto a book and reading it for the animals surrounding her. I knocked on a door. I looked at one window and there were lights flickering and changing color. Drum beats keeping good beat and muffled music silently escaping the room. The door opens and Octavia stood there, "Oh, hello Winter. Come on in" she gestured. "Thank you" I took off my shoes inside and hung my head on a coat hanger. "I'm sorry for Vinyl's loud music. She gets stuck in there playing and listening all day" she apologized. "No, it's okay, I don't mind it" I sat down on a couch. She sat down on another couch and gestured to the teapot, "Tea?" she suggested. "Yes please" I answered. "So, if you don't mind me asking, how did you get here?" she asked while pouring two cups for us. "Well, I was biking down a road, then a swirling rainbow of colors surrounded me and I found myself in the Everfree Forest. After a night there, Fluttershy found me and we were being chased by a Manticore" I answered. "Oh my, must have been terrifying" she took her cup. "Well, at first, but it was fun in some ways" I picked up the teacup. The door swung open and a white Unicorn with blue main yelled out, "Oh Yeah!". "Vinyl shush! We have a guest here!" Octavia glared at the unicorn. "Oh, sorry Tavi" she trotted up to me. "Never seen you around here before. You new?" she asked. I nodded, "Yes" I answered. She sat down on the floor, "So what's your name?" she asked again. "Winternight" I brought out my hand. "Vinyl Scratch" we shook. During the diner, I found out the two were very opposite from each other. Octavia was more classy and polite and Vinyl was rocking pony and modern. But Vinyl seems to have respect for her friend. "So Winter" Vinyl swallowed her food, "You listen to music?" she asked. "Of course" I answered and took a bite of my food. "What kind?" she asked again. "Anything kind except for metal" I answered again. "So how is your little fiddler doing?" Octavia asked. "Applebloom is doing very well, a natural really" I finished my diner. "I'm washing!" Vinyl took the plat and silver wearing from me. She opened up what looks like an amplifier for an instrument and tossed in the plat. She quickly grabbed hers and tossed it in as well. As soon as Octavia got her last bite, Vinyl grabbed her plat and fork from her mouth. She closed it up and started it. Then music started up, "Oh yeah! Love the Wubs!" Vinyl bobbed her head. I listened and figured out it was a Dub-step music. Octavia sighed; "Always with the wubs" she hit the table with her forehead. I looked at both of them and went up to Vinyl, "Hey Vinyl, you're a DJ right?" I asked. "Of course I am!" she said happily and continued bobbing her head. "Why not try recording Octavia playing her cello and you mix it up, so both of you would enjoy it" I suggested. "Not a bad idea Winter. Hey Tavi, grab your cello! We got some remixing to do!" she trotted into her room. Octavia looked at me "What did you do?" she asked. "Making your life a little easier Tavi" I said to her, "Now come on, let's get your cello and record you playing" I patter her on the back.
