Dalton walked across the gas station parking lot, making a beeline towards the bathroom door. It had been nearly ten minutes since Kylie came back from talking to Johnny, informing them of the situation and he could hardly believe what he heard. What she said made perfect sense; it would explain the odd way he had been acting around him since the trip started. She had asked him to remain quiet about it though; saying she had pinkie promised Johnny not to tell.
Reaching the door, Dalton banged on it with one of his hooves, "dude, we need to leave!"
Silence.
"Johnny, I know you take long shits but we gotta go, wipe your flank and let's get a move on!"
Silence.
Dalton sighed, "dude, you better not be fapping in there..."
Clip clop. The sound of hooves hitting concrete could be heard from inside as Johnny slowly made his way over to the door. The door opened after a few seconds and Dalton was greeted by the leathery black face of his half changeling best friend. Johnny's face was surprisingly blank; not a single hint of surprise, or guilt, or anything.
Dalton cocked his head, a semi concerned look on his face, "please tell me you didn't develop a hive mind or something?"
Johnny shook his head slowly.
He sighed. "Whatever the buck is going on with you, we can fix it in on the road, come on," he began walking back to the camper with Johnny slowly shuffling behind him.
"YOU SON OF BITCH!" I screamed at the top of my lungs as I stormed into the empty cafeteria, giving the confused as hell Doppel a death glare that would have put my own mother to shame.
"W-what are you t-talking about?" The changeling stammered as he slowly backed away from the impending beatdown, his eyes widening as his backside hit one of walls.
"You damn well know," I spat as I drew closer to the cornered bug. "You could have bucking told me I'd be turning into a CELESTIA BE DAMNED SHEMALE!"
The bugs eyes widened in horrified realization and he let out a terror filled laugh. "I-I thought you knew... I mean you created me!"
I shook my head, standing a few feet in front of the terrified bug. "You know what I'm about to do, don't you?"
He nodded, eyeing a chair that was conveniently within arms reach of me. "D-don't do it... I'll fight back and you know it," the bug took up a fighting stance, aiming his horn directly at me.
I reached for the chair as a blast of green energy slammed into my chest, sending me skidding across the tile floor and hitting the far wall with a solid smack. Groaning, I looked up to see Doppel scampering through the exit back to the rest of the school.
"Get back here you bastard," I yelled as I got to my hooves and ran after him. Yeah, chasing after the one bug who could help me with the intent to beat the Ichor out of him wasn't the brightest of Ideas but, damn it, he could have bucking warned me about what was gonna happen!
When I passed through the door, I stopped blinking in surprise. I was still in the long hallway that bisected my high school except it looked more like a set to an Alien movie; everything was practically dripping with changeling slime and I was half expecting to see the Xenomorph pop out with its second mouth thingy. I spotted Doppel galloping down the hall and bolted after him; before promptly falling on my face with a wet slurp after two steps.
Oh this was going to be so much fun.
Kylie looked up her blank faced uncle, "Hello? Anypony alive up there?" She said, poking Johnny with a forehoof.
The still blank faced Johnny didn't even react.
"I think we broke him," Kylie muttered to herself, poking him some more.
I let out a triumphant yell as I landed atop doppel; causing the two of us to skid across the slime soaked tiles. I looked down at squirming bug with a mad glint in my eye.
"Not the face," Doppel yelped in fright as he covered his head with his forelegs. I just grinned; this was going to be so much fun. He totally wasn't expecting this!
I began tickling the bug like mad; everywhere my hands could reach that wasn't carapace was subject to my assault. Within an instant, he was reduced to a laughing squirming wreck.
"S-stop! For the love of Celestia! Stop! Please!" He managed to gasp between outbursts.
"Not unless you promise to tell me any and everything I ask you!" I demanded, not letting up. I had given up on beating his face after falling flat on my face the tenth or time; and I knew Doppel was extremely ticklish, so this wouldn't take long.
"Okay! Alright! I'll bucking talk!" He practically screamed. Wow, not even ten seconds, I'm good at this.
I got off the panting bug and sat next to him on the ground. "First off, I'm sorry for wanting to beat the goop outta you. I get hot headed rather easily; hell, it's caused me to get stabbed with a arrow before," I laughed a little, remembering that fight with my cousin.
Doppel looked at me confused. "Somepony stabbed you with an arrow?"
I nodded, "yeah an arrow. Kinda odd considering we scuffled in the kitchen where's there's plenty more stabby things."
"Why an arrow though?"
"My crazy ass cousin that's why, but it gave more cool ass scar on my arm."
"Okay," Doppel said slowly, "so... how about those questions?"
I nodded, "First off, am I still.... A dude?" I shuddered slightly; I could still feel it down there and it just felt wrong.
"Have you taken a leak recently?"
I nodded, a confused look on my face,
"Did it come out of your man parts?"
I nodded again, "what the hell does that have to do with anything?"
"It means you're still a dude numbskull," Doppel said bluntly, "the other set is just there so you can disguise as the opposite gender."
A few seconds passed as my brain processed the information before a happy smile appeared on my face as I grabbed the changeling and hugged him tight so hard he squeaked, "t-thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"
