Well, What Now?

The First Day

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Ugghhh” Rainbow Dragon Dash groaned in his new voice that, he realized, sounded a bit like Spike's.

The mare, however, took the time to look herself over. “I guess this is payback, she did, technically, do what we asked… but all she did was switch our forms with each other,” Purple Spike pony sighed as she sat on her newly formed haunches “I wanna be a unicorn”

The wingless Rainbow jumped into the air in a futile attempt to go airborne. As expected, he promptly fell back on his tail in pain. “No, she didn't,” she groaned, “I wanted to be a huge fire breathing dragon! Or at least a griffin with huge wings! Not a lame baby dragon who can’t even fly!” he cried out, stomping his feet in anger.

“........Ow…..,” SpikeDash muttered as tears began to fall from her eyes.

DashSpike quickly realized his mistake, and waddled over to apologize. “Hey…. uh sorry, I’m just frustrated is all. I just miss my wings, and being this small is kinda weird for me.”

Spikerella quickly wiped her eyes and responded. “It’s ok, I get it, baby dragons suck!” she cried as her tears burst out. "I'm sorry that we're so lame!!” she cried, although completely unsure why.

He could only stare in disbelief. ‘Was I like this as a mare?” he muttered. “Nah, I was too awesome to be emotional, but still, wow.”

After a few seconds, Spikina managed to get her feelings under control, and spoke calmly. “So what now? I can’t date Rarity as a mare,…….. can I?” She put a hoof to her muzzle in thought.

“Don’t even think about it, she’s not into mares.”

Spines narrowed her eyes in suspicion. “How do you know?”

“I've been in her room. The only kind of stuff that she has are playcolt magazines, and pictures of Canterlot colts. You would not believe the stuff she has on Fancy Pants and-oof”

Before he could finish, the fanmare quickly hoisted the rainbow colored dragon up, face to muzzle, gazing at him with crazed eyes. “What kinds of magazines? Anything about dragons!”

Rainbow smirked. “Well you’re not a dragon right now, so does it matter?”

She gave a smirk in return. “Well, this is probably the highest that you’ll get off of the ground, does that matter?"

Before he could respond, the baby dragon's cheeks bulged out in alarm. Recognizing the signs all to well, Spike immediately turned his face away from herself, just in time for him to belch out a gout of flame that quickly condensed into a small scroll that rolled onto the ground.

The cyan dragon fell to the ground groaning. “Ohhhhh, is that what that's like? That felt worse than vomiting…”

Spikia gave a smirk, and went over to get the scroll. “Meh, you get used to it, and by that I mean you lose feeling in your throat after a while.” She leaned over the scroll, and prepared to pick it up, only to realize that she didn't have thumbs or claws anymore. Her first few attempts only worked to elicit a weak chuckle from the one still holding his stomach.

“Pick it up with your mouth dude…” He groaned out.

The purple mare made a slightly disgusted face when she looked down at the scroll. Her first few attempts at lifting it had only resulted in driving it deeper into the dirt. “Weeeeelllll it probably wasn't that important anyway,” she said as she kicked some dirt over to hide it, trotting innocently back over to the groaning rainbow.

“You ok, Dash?”

“Yeah, I’ll live.”

“So, Twilight didn't answer me, but where are we going to sleep? Your place?”

“Can dragons walk on clouds.”

Spike deadpanned. “I don’t know….. you guys left me behind when you all went to Cloudsdale.”

“Next time, don’t take a seven hour bubble bath with the music blaring,” he glared back. “You probably don’t know how to fly either.”

Spidash gave some experimental flaps, each wing completely out of sync with the other.

“Yeeaaahhh, I don’t wanna pull a Rarity, so let’s go with no. Wanna try her pla-”

“NO! Not like this, it’ll be like, incredibly awkward if I talk to her as her like this. We can't stay at her place!” she panicked while Dash rolled around on the ground laughing. “What about Applejack?”

Dash ceased laughing and sat back up. “No! She'll start saying stuff like; 'that’s what you get', or 'you shouldn't have pressured her intoblah blahblahhhh,” he mimicked while using his claws as a mouth. He realized what he was doing, and stared at his claws for a second before giggling. “That was pretty fun, I can see why you do it behind pony's backs all the time.”

“I know right. How about Fluttershy?”

“Nah, her place is too small for all of us.”

“Fine then, that leaves Pinkie’s place?”

“What leaves my place?”

The switched pony dragon duo jumped at the sudden appearance of the bubblegum earth pony. “Ohhh, I've never seen you two before, but you look familiar, are you new?” she asked in her excited high pitched voice.

“No, Pinkie,” BoyDash began” it’s us, Rainbow Dash and Spike. Twilight switched our bodies-”

“Forms,” MareSpike corrected”

“Whatever. Anyway, Twi got mad, and switched our forms around.”

“Why was Twilight mad at you?-" she gave a huge gasp "-Was it because of the fake party!!?”

The two began to fidget around nervously, occasionally glancing at one another.

“Rainbow Started it!” Spike blurted out.

“What!”

“You told me about it!”

“You joined in!”

“You chased her”

“You told me where she was!”

“You flew after her!”

“You burned the scrolls!”

“You...you….YOU CLOP TO HUMAN FANFICTION!!!

I WHAT???”

“I DON'T KNOW, I RAN OUT OF THINGS TO BLAME YOU FOR!!" she cried out.

“Girls, girls, you’re both to blame,” Pinkie stepped in. “So, what you’re saying is, Spike has Rainbows body, and Rainbow has Spikes body?”

Spike-mare rolled her eyes. “More or less”

Pinkie Pie beamed, and shook Spike's slender hoof furiously. “Congratulations Spike! You’re the new Element of Loyalty!!”

“Awesome, I always thought that I deserved it more than her!” she smirked.

Dash could only rolled her eyes. “Whatever, Pinkie, can we stay at your place for a week? I think that's how long Twilight said this would last.”

“Sure, the Cakes and the twins are gone to a family reunion, so I’m all alone for the week.” She grabbed both of them, and bolted towards her place. “Common, let's go to my house!”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“......so then we had to burn down the house to escape. Lyra said that it was the best party ever, but Bon Bon was soooo mad,” Pinkie finished as she hopped down the path to Sugarcube Corner.

“Yeaaa sorry about that, Pinks,” DragonDash muttered.

“Don’t apologize, Dashie." She paused for a second before continuing. "Say, you're a boy dragon now, right?”

“Don’t remind me,” the inner pegasus groaned.

“How does it feel? You getting any weird urges? How would you feel if I showed you a picture of Rarity?” Pinkie hopped in excitement.

Spike's green eyes shrank into dots in surprise.

Dash only shrugged. “Nothing really, I just feel short, and kinda frustrated…. and a little hungry actually.”

“Didn't I make you breakfast?”

“Didn't we chase after Twilight for like, an hour?”

“Here try this!” Pinkie said as she reached into her mane, and pulled out a small ruby. “You’re a dragon now, so you can eat these now, right?” she said, tossing the jewel to him.

Dash gazed at it for a second, not sure if he could even eat it. Looking up, he noticed Spike gazing at his palm with hungry eyes. Dash decided to eat it, just to tease her. He popped it into his mouth, and chewed it like it was a normal gumball.

It.



Was.



Orgasmic.

It felt like a cherry bomb had exploded in his mouth, over and over again. It was crunchy at first, but it tasted like it was full of juice, because the flavor never seemed to end, not that he never wanted it to. Eventually, he swallowed the remains, and began to like his claws furiously. “More....” he drooled.

“Sorry, Spike….oops, hehe, I mean, Rainbow, I only had the one."

Dash began to stare blankly into space, thinking back on what he just ate. That was amazing,” he said, mesmerized.

Spike The Pony stared down in jealousy, knowing full well that, as a pony, she couldn't eat gems like that anymore. ‘Sweet Celestia, I’m gonna miss that…..’ she thought.


~Sugarcube Corner~


“Welcome!! To the Cupcake Castle of Equestria!!!” Pinkie exclaimed, standing on her hind legs, forelegs spread to encompass the room.

Dash The Dragon rolled his eyes. “Yes, Pinkie, I've been in your room before.”

“Oh yeah,” Pinkie giggled. “By the way, what were you looking for that one time.”

“Oh… uh.. nothing.” Dash leaned over and motioned for Spike to lean down, so he could whisper in her ear. “Not. A. Single. Piece. In. Here.”

“No way!?” She whispered in disbelief.

“No seriously, I turned the place inside out. I swear she’s asexual……… or gay for cupcakes.”

“Probably,” Spike chucked. “So do you invade everypony’s house, and go through their stuff?”

“Yea, I've seen your stash too,” he jabbed.

“What!?”

Pinkie popped up in between them, “Whatcha talkin bout~” She sing songed.

Both backed away in an attempt to regain some personal space. “Nothing!” they both answered, neither looking her in the eye.

“So, uh where do we sleep?” Spike asked, changing the subject.

“Weeeeellllll” Pinkie put a hoof to her chin in thought. "The cakes forbaded….. forbidid…… told me not to go into their room, for any reason, and not to look in their closet,-”

If one looked closely, they could see a slight spark of mischievity in Dash's draconic eyes.

“-so of course I HAD to look, but they must have put some kind of deadlock on the door or something, ‘cuz it’s bolted shut.”

The spark died.

“So, you guys can stay in the twin’s room, but don’t be alarmed if it smells weird in there though,” she finished.

“Alright then,” Dash said, currently making mental plans to get into the locked room.

“Wait, who’s sleeping in that room, 'cuz I've heard Rainbow snore before, and since she’s a dragon now…..well lets just say that I’m not fireproof as a pony."

“Hey, I’m not that loud..” He muttered.

“Oh, well, ok, Spiky you can sleep in here with me then. It’ll be like a sleepover!”

“I am not doing any of that girly stuff, even if I am a mare,” Spikerella exclaimed in defiance.

~10 min Later~

“This isn't that bad actually,” Spikanina admitted as she lie back in a chair, while Pinkie covered her face in greenish colored mud, her eyes covered with slices of cucumbers. “Rarity uses this too right?"

“Yup. She told me alllllllll about the sleepover she had with Twilight and Applejack. She even told me about how Twilight made them act out the scenes in her fanfiction too.”

“Pinkie Pie, Twilight told me about that, and I don’t think that’s what happened."

Pinkie giggled lightly. “Oh right, that was the dream that I had about it that night.”

At this point, the still small, still rainbow colored dragon came back in, holding a burnt lock in his claws. “Well, I had to burn several locks, and solve a puzzle, but I managed to get in the- are you wearing mud?” he asked in surprise.

“Ohhhhhh," Pinkie squealed. "I always wondered what they kept in their room. What’s in there? Super party stuff, birthday presents, aprons, baby stuff? A coffee machine?!”

Dash looked confused at that last one. “Coffee machine?”

“Well, the cakes got really really nervous for some reason when I came home with a brand new coffee machine for the store. So they took it, hid it in their room, and told me that I wasn't allowed to have any coffee, and not to ever drink any either. They even made me pinkie promise!”

“No arguments here,” Spike mumbled to herself as she took off one of the slices covering her eyes.

“So, what’s in there??” Pinkie exclaimed.

“A whole crate full of weird stuff! Its like-” He paused when he stared at Spike sitting behind Pinkie, frantically moving her hoof across her neck, shaking her head in a universal ‘don't say it’ gesture. Pinkie stood there with innocent eyes, sparkling in anticipation.

“Uhhh…. a crate full of coffee beans, and…. uh…... aprons,” he finished halfheartedly, at least it wasn't a total lie.

Pinkie pumped a hoof in victory. “I knew it!” she exclaimed. Behind her, Spikabella heaved a quiet sigh of relief.

“It’s getting late, we should get to sleep,” Spike suggested, eating the slices that were previously covering her eyes.

“Fine, but just a little bit of advice, don’t sleep on your stomach. Makes it really awkward when you wake up in the morning,” Dash said as she went back into the other room.

Pinkie and Spike gave a confusing look at one another for a brief second before shrugging it off. Pinkie pulled out her guest bed, and uttered good nights, before dozing off peacefully. At some point, they began to hear Dash snoring, and the sound of fire billowing out. Pinkie assured her that, after the first time she babysat the twins, she both magic and fireproofed the entire room.


~The next day~


“Rainbow Dash! Wake up!"

Dash bolted woke up instantly when he felt himself being shaken furiously by the green maned mare. “Waaaahahahahahaaaat”

“I woke up this morning, and my wings were sticking up….. now they won't go down!” Spike exclaimed with a large blush covering her face, her bed head a clear sign that she had just woken up.

Dash smirked and laughed in her face.

“Told you to sleep on your back.”
