"So now what?" Shining asked Cadence as they sipped tea in Twilight's kitchen.
"Well, it really depends. Do you want to be changed back into a stallion?" Cadence asked.
"YES! I'll do anything to be back to normal!"
"Well, I can think of maybe three other ponies who could help at this point."
"Can you just try to fix me one last time quickly?"
"Sure." Cadence stood up and tried to reverse the spell again, but got the same result as every other time.
"Well, I guess we should go find some pony else to fix me."
"Sure, first lets try Celestia, she is supposed to have infinite power."
"Then why didn't we go to her first, you know, so my sister wouldn't know about this?"
"It's because Twilight is always here in her tree, Celestia tends to go to different cities every day."
"So, do you have any clue where she is?"
"Not one."
"Oh, umm, Cadence, Shining, I know where Celestia is." Twilight said.
"Where? Tell me now!" Shining demanded.
"I just saw her over at Sugar Cube Corner."
"Great, more people get to see me."
"Shut up Shining, lets just get over there, this may be the only time we know where she is!" Cadence grabbed her wife's hoof and she ran off to the confectionery.

Cadence stepped through the door with Shining in tow.
"Cadence, Shining Armor, what are you two doing here?" Celestia asked.
"We have a little problem, with an irreversible spell." Cadence explained.
"Cadence accidentally turned me into a mare, and neither of us can figure out how to fix it, even Twilight says only Cadence can fix it." Shining whispered in the white alicorn's ear.
"Oh, oh my. So you came to me even though the smartest mare in Equestria says that only Cadence can reverse it?" Celestia asked.
"Well, yes, but when you say it like that it just makes me feel like an idiot." Shining responded.
"As much as I like to think that Twilight is correct on everything though, I think I might be able to fix it. I do have unlimited power after all."
Shining waited for a few minutes. "So, you gonna fix me?"
"Oh, yeah, sorry, I just saw Soarin, isn't his ass nice?"
"I know right? Oh Celestia, help me now please."
"Ok, ok." Cadence backed up and began to cast a spell, her horn glowed a light yellow, so light, it was almost white. There was a familiar popping sound after a few seconds.
"No, why, what did I ever do to deserve this? I just want to be a stallion again!" Shining shouted.
"Well, maybe I'm just too hungry, you can go ask Luna though, she has boundless power like me, she's just over at the park giving her weekly magic lesson to the unicorns who can't afford magic school."
"Ok, thank you Celestia, lets go Cadence." Shining grabbed her wife's hoof and she pulled Cadence to the park, and Cadence turned around and started eating more sweets.

"LUNA!" Shining shouted.
"Ok, go take a quick break everyone." Luna said quickly. "What is it Shining, oh my Celestia."
"I need your help."
"With being turned back into a stallion?" Luna guessed.
"Yes, how did you know?"
"Well, first of all I can see you're a little smaller than usual, and your horn is more rounded, plus you're giving off a lot of hormones. Smells like you're in heat."
"Oh Celestia. So that's why I feel more attracted to Stallions lately."
"Yes, probably. Though my nose has been wrong before."
"So, can you please fix me before I do something I regret? Oh, that one's hot." Shining watched a stallion as he got a drink from the water fountain.
"OK, I'll try to fix you quick, but Cadence, you may need to restrain him, I mean her."
"Ok, won't be a problem." Cadence used her magic to hold Shining's back legs so she couldn't run off somewhere.
"Ready Shining? I'm not a master in love spells, so you have to accept the spell and do nothing that could possibly make me lose focus." Luna's horn began to glow when Shining nodded. There was another pop that was all to familiar to Shining and Cadence.
"No, what went wrong?" Shining asked.
"Well, I'm not sure. Maybe you want to stay a mare too much?"
"NO, I want to be a stallion again! I'll give anything!"
"Well, maybe you twitched at the last second. Let me try again, hold as still as you can."
"Ok, shoot me." Shining tensed up all of her muscles so she wouldn't twitch.
Luna tried again, but got the same result.
"Luna, I swear to Celestia if you're just doing this to mess with me, then you're dead!"
"No Shining, I'm not, maybe I'm just a little tired from giving my lesson. come back in maybe an hour or so."
"Fine."
"I really hope that we get you changed back." Cadence said.
"Me too." Shining sighed. "Now, can you let me go please?"
"Oh, sorry, here." Cadence released Shining from her magical grasp.
"So, who do you think could possibly help me now?"
"The only pony I can think of would be Zecora."
"No, please, any pony but her! I can't stand her rhymes!"
"Well, its either that or be a mare forever."
Shining thought for a few minutes. "This is a lose-lose situation for me, but considering I'm tempted to flirt with that guy over there, I think I pick Zecora."
