//------------------------------// // Chapter 3: A new day, and a spell // Story: Night of the anthro ponies. // by darkmage1997 //------------------------------// Slowly stirring in his sleep, Josh sat up in his bed, and gave a small yawn. "Wow, that was quite the night," Josh said, blushing at how hot Dinky looked in that schoolgirls outfit. "Well, maybe Mommy found something about the changes," Josh said to himself, while getting dressed. "But I should get some breakfast first, just in case she's busy," Josh said, walking out of his room, and making his way to the dining room. On the way to the dining room, he saw Crystal and Cory talking with Kelly. "Oh, morning guys!" Josh said with a smile. "Morning Josh!" Crystal and Cory said in unison. "So what's going on here?" Josh asked. "I was telling Crystal and Cory about what happened last night, and why Mommy and Trinity are looking through all their books," Kelly replied, before looking at Josh with an annoyed look, "And I also told them of how you reacted when you saw Dinky in her school girls outfit," Kelly said with an annoyed tone. Josh blushed at what his sister said, "I'm going to get some breakfast!" Josh said, stomping away, still blushing like mad, which made Crystal and Cory giggle at their blushing brother. "Well, we'd better get some food too," Cory said, motioning his little sisters to the dining room. Meanwhile in Twilights chambers, "So you're saying that you changed back into a pony once the sun came out?" Twilight asked her daughter, who was sitting on her mothers bed. "Yes, and its just like what Toby said," Nyx said, conjuring up a thought bubble, which had Toby in it, standing and smiling. "Remember, licking doorknobs is illegal on other planets," thought bubble Toby said. "WHAT?! No, that's not what he said," Nyx said, trying to remember what Toby said. "Werewolves are monsters that only come out during a full moon," thought bubble Toby said. "So with that fact, I assume that when if I changed last night, then the change ended when the sun came out," Nyx theorized. "Well I've sent a letter to the other princesses, so we'll wait for them to respond, why don't we go get some breakfast?" Twilight asked her daughters, whose stomachs answered her question, which made the fillies blush out of embarrassment. With a giggle, Twilight lead her daughters to the dining room. Meanwhile, back at Carousel Boutique, Stirring from their sleep, Silver, and Icezer woke up, and were puzzled at why they were sleeping on the floor of Carousel Boutique. "What happened? I feel I was run over by a train," Silver said, rubbing the back of his head. "The last thing I remember was seeing Sweetie Belle in that cute dress after she turned human," Silver said, giving a happy sigh at the memory of his unicorn fillyfriend. "Don't forget Twist! She was cute too" Icezer said, remembering how sweet Twist looked in her dress. "Ah boys, you're all awake," the trio turned to see Rarity standing in the doorway. "Rarity? What happened last night?" Silver asked. Rarity then explained what happened to the fillies, and how the other boys reacted to their new outfits, and how she was surprised to see Sweetie Belle back into a unicorn again. "Huh, so that's how we got here," Silver concluded, with Rarity nodding in agreement. "Well, we'd love to stay and chat, but we got to get home, c'mon Icezer," Silver said, leading his brother out of the boutique, and teleporting back to their house. . Giving a sigh, Rarity went back to her kitchen and began making breakfast for Sweetie Bell, Charity, and Conner. Meanwhile, back in the dining room in the castle of Friendship, "So that's what happened?" Nathan asked his cousins, who were all seated around the dining room table. "Yep, and we're currently waiting for Celestia, Luna, and Cadence to contact us," Twilight replied. Just then, Spike came in, not only with the cart of breakfast dishes, but a letter, which he gave Twilight, "Letter from the princesses!" Spike said, handing the scroll to Twilight, who took it with her magic. "Thank you Spike," Twilight said, smiling at her dragon son, who went to eat his breakfast of gemstones. Unrolling the scroll, Twilight read, Dear Twilight, From the letter we received from you last night, I along with Luna and Cadence are pouring through every spell book and scroll to find leads to what you described that is happening to the fillies. We think we may have found some way of keeping them in their pony forms, but the only catch, is that they can change back and forth between forms at will, so it isn't really a cure, but its all we could find in our castles libraries. Enclosed is 25 tickets for the friendship express, but I would like for you and these fillies to come near nighttime, so we can try to use the spell, which will hopefully give the fillies control over their transformations, You fellow princess, Celestia, After reading over the scroll a second time, making sure she didn't miss anything, she looked up o her children, who were all looking at her curiously. "Mommy, what did the scroll say?" Josh asked, curious as to what the letter said. "Well, my fellow princess may have found a spell that will help the fillies control their transformations, but its not a cure, and all they could find, so I want you and your friends to gather the fillies so we can head to Canterlot to meet with the princesses," Twilight explained, which Josh nodded in understanding, and went back to eating his breakfast. After the family all finished their breakfast, they went to clean their dishes, and went on their usual day, Cory heading to Sweet Apple Acres with Nathan in tow, Josh, heading to find and tell Dinky what is happening tonight, Kelly and Crystal both heading to carousel Boutique, along with Twists house to tell them what's happening, and Trinity was heading to Fluttershy's cottage with Nyx to tell Toby what was happening, so he could tell the news to Silver Spoon, while Twilight tried to get in touch with Rainbow Dash. Later that night, After most of the day went by, the large group of ponies were gathered at the station, "Ok, so is everyone here?" Twilight asked he friends and family, who all nodded. "Ok, the friendship express will be arriving soon," Twilight said, which the group all nodded in understanding. And true to her word, the train came to a stop at the station with screech of its breaks. After waiting for everyone to get off the train, the friends all entered the train, which after a while, started its way to Canterlot, where the group hoped to find the spell that would help the fillies. After almost half an hour of travel, the train came to a stop at the Canterlot station, where the ponies all made their way off the train. "It will be nice to see auntie Celestia, Auntie Luna, and Auntie Cadence again," Toby said, smiling at the castle. "Well, lets go everyone," Twilight said, leading the group towards the castle. Once near the gates, the group saw a couple of guards who took notice of the group. "Princess Twilight and friends and family, the three princesses are awaiting for your arrival inside," one of the guards said, opening the gates for the ponies. "Thank you sirs," Twilight said, before continuing to lead the party inside. Once in the main foyer, the group could see the other alicorns at the top of the stairs, and once Cadence and Twilight saw each other, they went to do their 'sunshine sunshine, ladybugs awake, clap your hooves, and do a little shake,' nursery rhyme from their youth. "Welcome Twilight, I trust the travel here was a comfortable one?" Celestia asked her faithful student. "Yes Celestia, and here are the fillies who turned human last night," Twilight said, presenting the fillies, who bowed respectfully to the princesses. "Ah yes, and don't worry girls, the spell is pain free, so you don't have to worry," Celestia reassured them. "Uh, yeah, about that Princess, we want to ask something first, we don't want to be cured," Scootaloo said, looking at the regal sun sister with respect. "Our coltfriends reactions were too funny," Dinky said, backing up Scootaloo. "And we love the outfits that Ms. Rarity made for us," Silver Spoon said with a smile. "So basically, can we keep this transformation?" Sweetie Belle asked. "PLEASE?" the fillies all asked, giving the princesses puppy dog eyes. "Cure? Who said the spell was a cure?" Celestia asked the fillies, who all had 'what did you just say?' looks. "The spell we found was not a cure, but a way for you girls to control your transformations, meaning you can change at anytime, even during the day," Luna explained, with a smug look, before turning to see that it was time for her and Celestia to switch the sun and moon. As soon as the moon was at its peak, the fillies began their transformations, again, with the adult mares watching in a mix of horror and amazement at what was happening to the fillies. After they finished changing, Luna spoke up again, "Well, lets go to the other room and commence the spell," Luna said, leading the changed fillies to the throne room. After a few minutes, the princesses came out of the throne room, with the fillies back in their pony form. "And if you want to turn back into a human, just think of your human form. Same goes for when you want to turn back into a pony," Celestia explained, before turning her attention to the others. "You all must be exhausted after today, so feel free to use the ballroom for another sleepover," Celestia said, with a warm smile. The ponies all smiled at this, and were lead to the ballroom. As they were walking, Toby noticed a worried look on Silver Spoons face. Being the caring child he is, he walked over to her, "Silver Spoon? What's wrong?" he asked the gray filly. "Oh, well nothings really wrong, its just, I'm wondering how Diamond Tiara will react when she sees me as a human," Silver Spoon replied, giving her coltfriend a sad smile. Putting his hand on her head, and scratching behind her ear, Toby looked Silver Spoon in the eyes, "Well, the cat will have to come out of the bag some time, so you should tell her as soon as she and Mr. Rich get back from their vacation," Toby suggested, petting his fillyfriend, who wagged her tail at being petted. "Oh yeah, right there behind the ears!" Silver Spoon said, practically melting as she looked back at her pianist coltfriend, "Thank you for your advice sweetie pie, but can you be there for me when I tell her?" she asked, giving a hopeful smile. "Don't worry, I will be here for you," Toby said, still petting his gray fillyfriend, who was still wagging her tail, which Toby giggled slightly at the motion, as they continued to the ball room. "Well, here you go," Celestia said, giving her student and niece fill use of the ballroom, "I will have a servant bring you some pillows, blankets, and some inflatable mattresses," Celestia said, as she and Luna took their leave, leaving the group of friends in the ballroom. "Uh, Nathan, you didn't happen to come across this necklace of mine before you went to Ponyville, did you?" Cadence asked her son, holding up a picture of herself, and a beautiful emerald encrusted necklace around her neck. When Rarity, and the others of the mane 6 saw the necklace, they had the same reactions that Conner, Icezer, and Josh had last night. "It tough being the strong ones, right girls?" Trinity asked her fellow beings of Harmony friends, who all nodded in agreement. Just then, a muscular stallion came out of nowhere behind the fillies and just said, "Hi babe,". When the harmony 6 saw him, they all shouted, "HELLO NURSE!" and all did back flips, before fainting from exhaustion.
