//------------------------------// // S05E17 Brotherhooves Social // Story: My Little Pony: Friendship is Overpowered (Season 5) // by Shadowmane PX-41 //------------------------------// A knocking came from Twilight's room, and she flew down to answer it. "Oh, hi, Big Mac," she greeted the red stallion as he walked in. "What can I help you with?" "Princess Twilight. The Sisterhooves Social is tomorrow, and Applejack's gotta go off to Manehatten with Rarity," he said stoically. "I want to make sure that Applebloom gets a blue ribbon, but I fear that me dressing up as a mare is gonna get us both caught in the end. Do you think you could help me with that?" "Hmm... It's a bit strange, but I think I can work something out..." Twilight levitated a book off of the bookshelf and opened it up to reveal a page depicting a mare turning into a stallion. "Gender-swap spell. Only possible by high-level unicorns and alicorns only. It'll last until the day after tomorrow. Would you like that?" "Well, like you said, it is weird, but I need to make Applebloom happy, so why not?" Alright then," Twilight took her position. "Now you're gonna feel a little bit nauseous afterwards, as well as have more of a feminine personality until the end of the transformation, but other than that, you should be fine..." A pink ring circled Big Mac's feet before a pillar of magic swallowed him up entirely. Amidst the energy surplus, his hooftips grew extra hair, his eyes grew feminine lashes, and his Cutie Mark transformed into an blossoming apple tree. The magic then died down to reveal that the stallion known as Big Macintosh was long gone, and that a mare took his place. "Until the events are over, your name is Orchard Blossom," Twilight instructed. "Now you have fun with Applebloom at the Sisterhooves Social." "Thank you, Princess Twilight," said Orchard as she exited the castle. Orchard Blossom and Applebloom won every event at the social, racking up more blue ribbons than anyone could ever conceive. For the two of them, it was the best Sisterhooves Social they had ever had.
