Events: Alternate ending. ``The usual!`` Proudly exclaimed the voice of a white mare as she trot inside the spa followed by a nervous Pegasus mare. Upon seeing them the spa sisters instanly gain beaming smiles. ``Miss Rarity and Mrs. Fluttershy! You two are three days ahead of your usual weekly spa date! What can we do for you?`` Aloe ask eagerly to her two best customers. ``Fluttershy had some...Complications in her love life recently and I through moving our spa date to right now would do wonders in helping the poor dear to relax.`` ``Of course miss Rarity, we will do our best to help Mrs. Fluttershy.`` Lotus said with a smile, they then help the mares to the sauna room. ``So Fluttershy darling, what situation Dream got into this time? The last time we had to meet like this was when Twilight accidently regress his genetic with a spell and transform him into a horse.`` The two of them shuddered at the memory. ``W-well it’s not as bad as that, well I don’t think so at least... This morning when I woke up Dream was there but he was completely different but the same at the same time.`` Rarity look at her, confusion clearly showing in her features. ``Oh, I don’t know how to say this without being blunt... When I woke up Dream was a mare.`` Rarity cover her mouth but not before she could stop a unladylike snort. Fluttershy look at her a little disapointed in her. ``I’m sorry darling, I shouldn’t find this funny but imagine all the awkward situations he could get in like this.`` She tried without sucess regaining as serious expression. ``How did he or rather she took it?`` ``He-she wanted to be alone I didn’t have new from him since he left, I think she can handle it, six years ago she adapted being a pony withtout too much problems, changing of gender is a lot more easy than changing of species entirely.`` Rarity didn’t seem to share her opinion as an unsure look cross her face. ``I don’t know Fluttershy, six years ago she had lose everything she hold dear, the only thing she had left was her love for this world. But now she have her friends her neighbors, you and her daughter, even if I’m sure we will all still love her, we won’t see her the same way if she’s stay that way.`` ``Do you think Dream will devastated by being a mare if we can’t turn him back?`` Fluttershy ask worriedly. ``I don’t know darling, I can’t say I have much experience in this type of situation, but knowing Dream I’m sure she will adapt to his- I mean her new situation.`` Fluttershy had a unsure look she open her mouth to say something but the mare beside them, who act as through she had heard nothing, call them. ``Mrs. Fluttershy and miss Rarity, it’s time for the mud facial mask! Follow me please.`` Having been interupted Fluttershy decide to talk about the situation later as she follow Lotus to the next spa treatment. - - - - - - I expected the dinner with the apple family was going to be awkward with a random mare that just go eat at their table like that, but at the opposite they greet me as if I was a old friend of the family, which I was but they didn’t know this yet. The kitchen was silent, but not the uncomfortable kind of silence the family was simply hungry by working all day, Apple Smith look at me with a suspicious look. ``So young filly ya said ya were called Sleepy Star huh? Y’all seem awfully familiar teh me did ah see ya somewhere before?`` Ask the young looking grandmother. I should have know she would be the first to reconise me, the only pony who have the eyes for detail like Apple Smith is Rarity. ``Well... I come from the family of Fluttershy!`` I blurt out quickly. ``I’m her cousin she told me to visit her friends that why I came here!`` I said with the best poker face I could come with. Apple Smith look at me for a second before nodding with a smile. ``Yes that it! Y’all look like her daughter Meek Sky especially with that green mane of your.`` I resist the urge to sigh in relief when she return her attention to the apple pie in front of her. ``Sleepy Star can ya help me lifitng somethin in the barn? Your wings could be useful.`` Applejack said, her face was clearly saying ‘you and me gonna have a talk’ ``Hey! Why are you asking help from a stranger when your Pegasus friend is here?`` Rainbow Dash ask not too happy that Applejack would ask the help of somepony else when she was clearly the one who could do anything in ten seconds flat. ``Ah think ya help enough fer today sugarcube, I couldn’t ask a friend to help more than you arleady did.`` Applejack said, I could tell she didn’t straight up lied, but she didn’t say all the truth either, but I guess even the element of honesty can have her secrets. I nervousely follow the orange mare outside of the house, so I could ‘help’ her in the barn. - - - - - - We trot for a while, we pass the barn where I was supposed to help her but didn’t ask why we didn’t stop I just follow her, my mind was racing miles by hour, I knew all too well I will have to explain a lot of things, which one of them will probably be my identity and why I’m a mare. Applejack stop to walk when we arrive close of a big majestic tree, it was the tree that began all, the first tree Apple Smith and her family ever made grow, it’s was a sort of symbol to the family, each years it grew bigger just like the town itself that grew because of the farm. The cowgirl look at me with a frown before speaking. ``Listen here missy ah can respect ya want to keep some things to yourself, but ah won’t tolerate somepony straight up lying to mah family, it’s insulting when y’all create your own story out of nowhere and expect us to believe every word ya say as if we were simple foals waiting for a bedtime story!`` My ears fell at her tone, I didn’t picture my excuses like that, when Applejack want to she can be brutally honest with how she feel. ``I-I’m sorry Applejack I guess I didn’t think about how other ponies might feel.`` Her eyes soften at my words. ``It’s okay, ah think I’ve been a little too harsh on ya, friend?`` She said extending her hoof at me. I look back nervousely. ```Listen Applejack I need to admit something, my name is not really Sleepy Star.`` She lost her smile and she glare at me for lying more than she through, I tried to explain quickly before she could scold me again. ``It’s me Peace Dreamer! I’ve been change to a mare this morning and I really don’t know what to do!`` Applejack gain a shocked expression. ``D-Dream?! Granny was right when she said ya look familiar! How did this happen?!`` ``I don’t really know, I felt sick yesterday so I got to bed early and when I woke up I was like this.`` I respond, even to me it’s sound like a bad fanfic story. (Hey!) ``But that impossible, ponies don’t simply change of gender by sleeping! Ah would have been a stallion hundred of times if it’s work like that!`` ``Hey! I’m the one who is a mare how do you think I feel?!`` I glare at her annoyed by the shouting. ``Am sure yer pervert stallion mind is enjoying this way more than ya want to admit.`` She glare back at me. ``What?! Maybe Mark would enjoy this, but I’m not enjoying this at all! This could ruin my entire reputation in town!`` ``What reputation?! ya and the other humans are known for being in crazy situations like this every month!`` She scream back. ``Yeah? Well at least we don’t bring masters of evil and monsters in town every weeks!`` She had a hurt look and we both realise we might got too far in the argument. ``I’m sorry`` We said at the same time. ``I had hope you had a sort of idea what I should do with this situation, I guess you don’t know what to do either.`` ``Why didn’t ya go see Twilight? She would probably what to do with her knowledge on magic and such.`` I shook my head sadly. ``Zecora came be this morning she didn’t have any way to change me back, if Zecora of all ponies can’t help me, I don’t think Twilight could help much.`` Applejack frown at this new. ``What about Pinkie Pie she’s not the best to give advice most of the time but she can surprise us.`` ``I arleady saw her today, she’s happy I’m a mare since she can invite me to her slumber parties.`` I facehoof at the memory, that bring a small smile on the cowgirl. ``Well am out of idea sugarcube, ah guess y’all will have to find the answer yerself.`` I groan in annoyance, this entire visit was useless, well not entirely I had a good lunch so there that. ``Well thanks anyway I guess I will see you in town another time.`` Without giving her the chance to reply I extended my wings before taking off. ``Dream wait! Ya didn’t even finish to eat!`` Unfortunately the wind in my ear keep me from hearing a single word from the farmer. ``Oh pony feather what will ah say to granny? Don’t she know how she hate to waste food?`` She grumble something about anoying winged ponies before trotting back at her home. - - - - - - I glide down when I arrived at th cottage and sigh. ``Home, sweet home`` I said said under my breath before lighlty pushing the door. ``Daddy!`` I was insanly takled by my daughter as soon as she saw me. ``Whoa! I didn’t believe mom when she said you were a girl, does thi mean I have two mothers or should I still call you dad? I mean...Whatever you want to do is fine with me.`` I smile a little at Meek Sky. ``I don’t know for sure what I should be called, call me whatever your comfortable with.`` I was a little relieved Meek Sky took it this well, but I’m still nervous as to what to do with the situation. ``Oh Dream you’re home? I was begining to wonder if you would come home or not tonight.`` Fluttershy poke her head from the kitchen and smile at the scene before her before looking worriedly at he daughter. ``Meek Sky I through you said you were going to be late for Bolero birthday.`` ``Oh gosh, I almost forgot bye mom! Bye dad!`` She said before galloping in direction of sugarcube corner, I turn my attention back on my wife when I lost my daughter of view. ``I visited Applejack, she didn’t have any usefull sugestion as to what to do with this situation, I’m tired of all this I guess I’m going to bed early.`` I said dejectedly before going in direction of the stair, but before I could reach the stairs a hoof stop me and turn me back, I couldn’t look anywhere else than in the eyes of my wife. ``Fluttershy what are you doing? I said I’m going to sleep. `` In response she tighten her grip with her left hoof before her right forehoof began to rub slowly on my cutie mark. ``S-Shy what are you doing?`` The only times I saw Fluttershy act like this was in her heat cycle and I knew for a fact that October was in four months. ``I talk with Rarity today and she made me realise something, we forgot our fifth marriage birthday, so we can both make it up to each other right now.`` She said in a sultry tone. ``B-but you said you were straight! And I’m a mare right now!`` She only smile at this. ``I’m sure you’ve been curious of how it’s feel as mare don’t deny it, I’m also curious how different it is as a stallion but you’re the one who change of gender.`` ``B-but you still- mph!`` She cut me by pressing a hoof on my mouth. ``I told you once I was straight, but I said I love you thousands of time in the six years I knew you and nothing will ever change that, understood?`` I nod slowly and she smile. ``Now why don’t we take this in my bedroom?`` ``I’m not sure I can handle the difference of being a mare right now.`` I said worriedly. ``Don’t worry, I will be gentle I promise, I’m the not the element of kindness for nothing`` She giggle before pressing her lips on mine, my eyes widden for a second before deciding to just enjoying it and return the kiss. When she stop the kiss we slowly trot to the bedroom, we almost didn’t make it, but when we did Fluttershy tackle me on the bed. It felt wrong, it felt right, it was familiar and it was alien, It’s was as if I had lost my virginity a second time with the same pony. I knew my new gender would throw me a lot of challenges in the future, but for now the only things in my mind was pleasure and my beautiful wife. The End Lyra note: Yes I know it was too easy for Fluttershy to get over the fact that her husband was a mare, but when we write a bonus story we are limited in words, I wanted to finish this as soon as I could, two chapters were arleady too much, so I had to finish it like this. However it is possible I will do another chapter following the adventures of Dream as a mare but I make no promises.
