I walked out onto the balcony of my house to stretch in the sunlight, yet for some reason there was a thick layer of cloud as far as my eyes could see. Since they were lower than my balcony, I walked out onto them. I tried to focus like Dash had told me, to feel the size and shape of the clouds. Perhaps the cloud I busted had been more luck than skill, since these clouds didn’t budge an inch.
The wind picked up, and I twisted my head over my shoulder to see if any of the other homes in Ponyville were blanketed in the dense clouds. My house, along with the roofs of my neighbors’ houses, were gone.
I returned to where my house should have been and stomped the clouds with my hooves, slowly dispersing them. A pit started to form until my hoof hit something solid. There was asphalt underneath, painted with two solid yellow lines.
When I returned my gaze skyward, the sun was blocked by a tall skyscraper. The buildings were charred black and windowless, with several of the tall buildings more than halfway crumbled to dust. I realized I was dreaming again and shook my head.
At least there’s no sign of—
“Awesome!”
A pegasus flew past me, blowing the clouds away, and turning around the corner of one of the buildings. As she vanished, I heard another voice behind me.
“Hey, Dawn, long time no see.” The female version of myself walked calmly across the street towards me.
“Yay,” I deadpanned. “It’s you again.”
“I have a name you know, or at least I picked one out. It’s Desire,” she explained.
“Well, no offense, but since this is my dream, I think I’ll be going now.”
“But you haven’t met Iris!” Desire whined. Her tone ate away at my nerves like a cheese grater.
I started walking away, shaking my head. “Nope! I’m not gonna entertain delusions, even if they are in a dream.”
“You’re still upset I want you to admit your true desires to be female? Fluttershy would date you if you were.”
Spinning around, I poked her chest with a hoof. “Hey! That’s none of your business.”
“Why not? I’m you! Or, maybe when you wake up you’ll find that you’re me!” She started laughing when a blur tackled her to the ground.
I watched as another pegasus quickly hoofcuffed her legs and put a gag in her mouth.
“Great, now I’m in a dream where mares are tackling each other and tying each other up. This is high school all over again.” I started to walk away again, heading towards one of the ruined buildings. I might not have been able to will myself to wake up, but I was not going to stick around here.
“No, wait! Dude, you’ve got to check this out!” A pegasus landed in front of me that looked a lot like Rainbow Dash. She had the cyan fur, but her mane only had the primary colors: red, yellow, and blue. I stole a glance at her flanks and noticed she lacked a cutie mark as well. “I’ve been practicing this to show you!”
Before I could object, she took off and started weaving in and out of the support beams of one of the hollowed out buildings. Her dexterity was amazing, and she was able to do tricks I’m not sure Dash could have. Then again, it was a dream, so how hard could it be?
She finished her routine and landed in front of me, sweat dripping down her fur. “Hey, I’m Iris! I see you’ve met Desire.”
“And who are you supposed to be?”
“Pfft, me? Just the awesomest pony around. I could totally teach you to fly like that, make you the coolest mare in Equestria.”
I chuckled. “Oh, great. Another dream me wanting me to be female, no thanks.”
“Dude!” She flared a wing in front of me so I couldn’t brush past her. “Mares run everything! You don’t wanna just be somepony’s baby-daddy? Not to mention all the coolest ponies are mares. Spitfire, Fleetfoot, Fluttershy, Twilight… Dash, of course, but that goes without saying! I mean, no stunt stallion can do half the tricks a stunt mare can. We’ve got more dexterity!”
“Convincing argument, but no, thanks. This whole dream is just reeking of multiple personality disorder, and I’d rather not open that can of worms. Why don’t you go play with Desire?” I pointed over at where Iris had tied her up. The mare seemed to be enjoying the bondage, rubbing herself against the pole of a street lamp. “Oh for the love of Celestia!”
I darted off around the building, flying as fast as I could to get away from the ponies behind me. It seemed to work, and I found a nice little laundromat to hide in. My mind focused on waking up and ending the dream, but it had no effect.
Sighing, I began to think about Desire. If she was some part of my mind representing my desires, why is she a mare? I was fairly certain I liked Dash just as much as Fluttershy, and if it weren’t for Soarin I could have taken a shot at a relationship with Dash. Did part of me deep down want to be a mare? It seemed absurd, and I was sure it was just a side effect of living in Dash’s body for so long.
A shadow cast itself across the room, and I let out an exasperated groan. “Can’t I go one night without dreaming of crazy stalker-ponies?”
“I don’t know, Dawn. What is troubling you?” the voice asked.
Turning to see Luna standing there was almost as shocking as waking up in another pony’s body. I floundered to my hooves and shook my head. “Is this another hallucination?”
“Relax,” Luna ordered. She walks closer to me and sits down. “We are in your dream. I decided to check up on you. It seems prudent you have somepony to talk to if you are having any difficulties.”
“Alright.” I sat down and pointed outside. “There’s a couple of ponies bugging me. One keeps talking about how I desire to be a mare, and the other is like Dash 2.0.”
“Do you desire to be a mare?”
“No!” I looked up at her and felt bad for shouting at her. “I mean, I don’t think so. There was nothing wrong with being a mare, but I wasn’t born one. I’m a stallion.”
Luna smiled. “Dawn, it is not unusual for ponies to wonder what it is like to be the other gender. You’ve lived as the other gender. It’s natural for you to have some lingering thoughts or doubts. It is also natural for these sub-conscious thoughts to take form in dreams; it is the only way they can communicate with your conscious mind.”
“I guess that makes me feel better. It’s not like Desire can make me wake up as a mare.”
“Indeed, they only have the power you allow them to in your dreams. I must ask, however, why you would dream of such a barren and inhospitable landscape.”
I shrugged. “Don’t know. I watched lots of movies like this on Earth. Zombies, aliens, or maybe a few stray nukes bring about the Apocalypse. A few lone survivors try to travel to a safe place to rebuild civilization.”
“Hmm.” Luna chuckled. “Well, even the backdrop to your dream is trying to tell you something. Do you know what it is?”
Looking around the laundromat for clues revealed nothing but broken washing machines and dryers missing their doors. It took a few minutes to piece it together in my mind, but I finally thought I had the answer she wants. “Since I’m all alone in Equestria, I feel like I’m the lone survivor trying to find a place to rebuild.”
She nodded. “Exactly. Your alienation, the thoughts you repress, they all manifest in your dreams. You will wake soon, and when you do, you must not be afraid of your thoughts or desires. Do not alienate yourself.”
Luna stood up and slowly faded out of existence. The fabric of the dream started to ripple and fade as I woke up. Desire stepped out from behind one of the washers before I woke up. She had a massive smile plastered across her face. “Rise and shine, sleepy mare.”
I woke up with cotton mouth and a thin layer of slime over my teeth. Forgetting to brush my teeth had given me a bad case of morning breath, and if I hadn’t been so damn comfortable I’d have rushed to the bathroom right now to fix it.
My teeth remained nasty no matter how much I licked at them, and I had little choice but to reach over for the glass of water I like to keep on my nightstand. I picked it up and took a drink, finally feeling proficient at using my hooves for manipulating smaller objects.
When I put the glass back on the cedar nightstand, I noticed my fur coat appeared to be pink. It was a light shade of pink, similar to somepony but I couldn’t quite put my hoof on it. I just knew I’d seen it before.
Shaking my head to clear my vision didn’t fix the problem, so I rubbed my eyes a couple times. My hooves had a nice glossy sheen, my pink fur looked well cared for, and as my mane swung around into view I noticed cyan highlights in the brown hair.
No way…
I lifted up the blanket and look down between my legs to confirm the dreadful suspicion.
Legs? Check. Tail? Check. Penis? Negative.
Dropping the blanket, I looked around as I started to hyperventilate and gave myself a headache.
How could this have happened? This isn’t possible! I need to recount what I did yesterday. . .
My memories raced as I recalled the last twenty-four hours. I was telling the Cutie Mark Crusaders a story, I promised Pinkie I’d go on a blind date, then I’d practiced with Dash and went to bed.
Pinkie. I’m gonna put hair remover in her shampoo for this! How could she?! Turn me into a bucking mare for missing a blind date?
I kicked the covers off and flew into the bathroom. I heard my cat screech as he was flung through the air along with the covers.
“Sorry, Bagheera! Bigger problems right now!”
Kicking the door wide open and flipping on the lights revealed a pink mare in the mirror. I looked exactly like Desire did: nice rounded facial features and all.
Hey, it could be worse. . .
[How?]
Well, I could be hearing Desire’s voice in my head.
[Like this?]
My eyes went wide in shock as I stared into the mirror and my hooves trembled.
Roseluck was watering her flowers in her front yard, three houses down the street from Dawn’s house. She looked up as she heard a flock of birds taking off from a tree, followed by a loud stream of obscenities. Her ears flattened against her head, and she looked around, hoping no fillies were present.
[I told you that you wanted to be a mare!]
“Shut up! This is all a misunderstanding!” I shouted into the mirror. There were several cracks in it where I had hit the laminated glass with my hoof.
[Aww, come on! I bet if we go over to Fluttershy’s house she’ll totally bang us as soon as she sees us!]
“No! I refuse to talk to you. I’m not crazy!”
[Well, you are yelling at yourself in a mirror when you could be rutting Fluttershy’s brains out, so… yeah, definitely crazy.]
You, just shut up! What happened to stalking me in my dreams like a good split-personality?
[I got tired of the reruns. I mean, honestly, if the ponies knew half the things you dreamed.]
I sat down on the floor, trying to slow down my breathing. This was a nightmare. I’d not only been turned into a mare, but it’d brought out another side of me. It was like having post-traumatic stress from my time inside Dash. I didn’t know what to do to fix this mess.
After relaxing for a while I got up and went downstairs to get some breakfast.
[Oh, get some daisy flavored corn puffs!]
Not talking to you.
[La la la la la la la la la la la—]
Quit it! I’m gonna fix this and make you go away.
[Aww, sounds like somepony needs to get laid.]
I groaned and opened up the fridge. There were some hard-boiled eggs in the drawer I had cooked earlier this week in case I needed a snack. I took out the last four and set them onto a plate, then carried it over to the table.
They would have tasted much better with a little salt, so I grabbed the salt shaker and shook it above my eggs. To my surprise, the lid of the salt shaker fell off, drenching the eggs in salt.
[Hehehe.]
Ignoring the totally-normal-and-in-no-way-insane voice in my head, I headed back to the fridge. Inside seemed rather barren, and all I could spot to eat were cupcakes. I pulled them out and set the box on the counter.
Inside were some red cupcakes, so I took one and tossed it in my mouth. It tasted a lot like cinnamon at first, but very spicy and hot. After making the mistake of swallowing one, I realized it had some kind of Tabasco in it. My mouth and throat started burning.
“H-hot!”
[Gahah! This is so much more fun than hanging out with Iris and the others.]
I turned the faucet on the sink to max, but no water came out. I slapped it a few times with my hoof, desperate to get something to drink. My eyes watered, and my forehead had beads of sweat forming.
Rushing back to the fridge I flung the door open and reached for the carton of milk. I ripped the top off and tilted it back above my open mouth, only to find it empty. I shook it a few times in disbelief before noticing a note on the side.
Nopony breaks a Pinkie promise.
- Pinkamena Apple Pie
This was the proof I needed that Pinkie had done all of this to me.
That bitch is dead!
[That’s the spirit! Let’s go buy a few cucumbers and tie her up, then we’ll—]
“Shut up!” I screamed.
My mouth was still watering, and I could feel my sinuses draining, snot started to run out of my nose. The hose in front of the house seemed to be my next best option. I raced to the front door, threw it open, and dove towards it.
I trampled the small flowerbed on the way to the hose but managed to turn it on, and directed the stream of cold water into my mouth. After gulping down as much water as I could stomach, I started to wash my face off.
[This is fun! You need to turn into a mare more often. Oh, or maybe you can just stay a mare! Yeah!]
“Excuse me,” a voice called out.
I turned to face the tan pony with dark pink hair. “You’re Rose, right?”
“Yes. Is Dawn home? I heard some. . .” she blushed, “screaming.”
My eyes darted around as I tried to think of an explanation.
Do I tell her Dawn’s a mare now? That he woke up and freaked out? That Pinkie Pie is a sadistic bastard? That’s it!
“Dawn broke a Pinkie promise. He’s currently indisposed.”
“Oh my, I’m so sorry. Are you two, uhm. . .” Rose smiled as her eyes ran over my flanks.
“No! We’re, uh, related. Definitely not sleeping together, nope, not gonna happen.”
“Hehe, well then, feel free to stop by my store. I’ll give you some of my special roses later,” she said.
I watched her leave and then turned off my water, leaving the hose in the puddle of mud that used to be petunias. Heading back inside I ignored the muddy hoof prints and flopped down on my sofa, defeated.
It was bad enough that being a mare again was all part of some childish prank, but I didn’t know how to fix it. I could track down Pinkie, but I wasn’t really in the mood to see her right now. Dash would probably spend the first thirty minutes laughing, before telling me to go see Twilight.
That’s it, I can just go have Twilight fix it. She fixes everything.
[Oh, bad news, champ. . . that wetness down there, isn’t from the garden hose.]
What do you mean?
I looked down and noticed the smell of a mare in heat.
Desire?
[Yes?]
I fucking hate mares.
[Aww, come on. It’s not that bad. We’ll just go take a shower.]
No.
[Hmm. . . Got any root vegetables?]
No.
[Flashlights?]
No.
[Remote control?]
No.
[Hairb—]
No! I am not clopping in this body, dammit!
[Pfft, a cat would have been fine too.]
What’s wrong with you?!
[Well, for starters, you finally get what you desired all this time and you’re being a little crybaby about it.]
I looked over at the clock and moaned. This was not how I expected today to go. I was late for flight practice with Dash. Twilight wanted to talk about the search for Shining Armor, and Applejack had asked if I was competing with her and Dash in the Iron Pony contest.
Crap, Dash. . . She’ll be here any minute to check on me! I need to get to Twilight’s and get this fixed before—
Somepony started knocking at my front door. I knew it could only be Dash. Thank Celestia she’d listened to me yesterday about learning to knock. I got up and flew to the back door.
“Dawn?” Dash knocked a few more times.
[Come on, this is a golden opportunity! You’ve already got hoofcuffs and a gag for her to use on us!]
You know they have antipsychotic meds to get rid of voices in your head? Just keep on being a smart-ass.
[Heh, I’m you. You can’t get rid of yourself!]
I closed the back door behind me and flew straight towards Ponyville’s main square. This low to the ground I doubted Dash had spotted me. She was likely in the house looking for me now. Once I was out of sight of my home, I landed and started walking towards the Library.
My mind kept wandering, and I found myself increasingly distracted by the heat radiating from my plot.
Come on, are you causing that?
[Nah, I’m just the manifestation of your desires. The crazy and the heat, that’s one-hundred percent you, baby.]
I think I understand where Dash was coming from now. . .
The further I walked into town, the more I noticed my legs slowing down. The dirt felt like molasses, sticking to my hooves with each step. The added weight continued to slow me down, and I could smell a sickly sweet scent in the air. My wings started to twitch, and I had the urge to spread them out, but resisted.
Come on, help me out here, Desire. Can’t you, I don’t know, postpone the whole ‘heat’ thing until I get to Twilight’s?
[And miss out on a good rutting? No way!]
My body continued to slow down, becoming harder and harder to control. I’d never felt anything like this and couldn’t figure out what the hell Pinkie drugged me with. I came to a stop, four hooves firmly on the ground. Looking around for help, I saw Big Mac.
And he saw me.
Big Mac was standing there, staring right at me. I tried to call out to him for help but the words got caught in my throat, as my gaze drifted down his chest.
My front legs buckled, and I found my tail twitching and wings flaring, as I assumed the position.
Dammit, what the hell? You’re doing this to me!
[Heh, no, but I sure am enjoying it! You’re such the little slut, Dawn. I’m so proud of you!]
The sickly sweet scent grew stronger as my fragrance filled the air. A musky odor soon joined it, and I could see Mac’s hooves as he walked behind me, seemingly hypnotized.
No, no, no.
[Yes, yes, yes!]
Something flashed by, tackling Big Mac. I could hear it, and felt the thud in the ground, yet couldn’t get a good view of it.
“What the hay, Big Mac? You can’t do that out here in the middle of a street. And you!” Dash stomped over to me, twisting a wing and lifting me back onto all fours. “You can’t just—”
“Ow,” I whimpered. I looked at Dash, the pain brought me back to my senses, as she scrunched her nose.
“Damn, I’ve never smelt a mare who had it this bad. No wonder Big Mac couldn’t control himself.”
“What in tarnation?” Applejack galloped over until she stood between me and Big Mac. “Did ah just see y’all gettin’ ready to rut in the middle of the street?!”
Mac’s eyes drifted to the ground. “Eeyup.”
“Yeah, this mare here—wait, I never asked your name. Who are you?” Dash asks.
“I’m, uh. . . Leia, Leia Skywalker.” I smiled, hoping she would buy my lie.
“Wait a minute, ah’ve heard that name before,” Applejack stated. “Yeah! It was that strange story Dawn told all the kids.”
Dash’s eye drifted to my flank, where the lack of a cutie mark stands out like a broken hoof. “Dawn?!” she whispers sharply.
“Yeah. . .” I sighed and looked at the ground.
“Applejack, you take Mac home. I’ll take care of this mare,” Dash orders.
[Yes! Hoofjob!]
Shut up!
“What the hell?!” Dash asked.
“Pinkie. I broke a Pinkie promise. That bit—mare is insane,” I stated.
Dash chuckled. “I dunno, this seems a bit much for her. Better get you to Twilight.”
She trotted off but my legs were still feeling a bit heavy, making it hard to follow. I managed to catch back up, my mind clearing itself of the haze it had been put into recently. Dash led me straight to the library, not talking much, but not falling over in laughter either. I didn’t expect her to handle this so well, as I knew how much she loved to pull pranks. In fact, she often went pranking with Pinkie.
I tripped on the step up to Twilight’s door and quickly got back up and followed Dash inside.
“Hey, Twilight, I got somepony for you to meet!” Dash shouted.
The alicorn rounded a corner to appear from the kitchen, and smiled. “Hi, I’m Twilight Sparkle, librarian, princess—”
“And egghead know-it-all,” I interjected.
Her mouth went agape as she struggled to think of a response.
“Hah! It’s Dawn, Twilight.” Dash pointed at my flank. “He broke a Pinkie promise, but I am not sure Pinkie would go this far.”
“I, uh, well the kind of magic needed to do this is beyond Pinkie.” Twilight walked over and opened my mouth with her hooves to look inside.
I batted her hooves away. “You and doctors, always looking in the last place you’ll find something wrong. If you want to fix me, start with the cooch.”
Twilight’s blushed and muttered something incoherent. Dash let out a nervous chuckle, and I realized I was making them uncomfortable.
“Look, sorry. I just woke up as a mare and started hearing this voice in my head. It is not a good day.”
“You’re hearing voices? Oh my, I really should have gotten you somepony to talk to before your, uh. . . condition worsened.” Twilight walked around me, her horn glowing.
I could feel the magic creep over me as it scanned me for problems. Even that little touch excited me.
[Remind me to thank Pinkie.]
Sure, right after I’m done covering her toilet in super glue.
[Oh, you could totally tie her spread-eagle to a bed. The best punishment would be a whip and some hot wax.]
You know, now that I can hear my desires given voice, you’re right. I’m a pervert, and I’m gonna work on that. But for now, just shut back up, okay?
[Aww, you know you love it when I talk dirty.]
I swear to Celestia, if I hear one peep from you after they fix this I’m checking myself into Broadhoof for a psychiatric evaluation.
[Party pooper.]
“Well, I don’t see anything wrong, but I’ll need to run tests to try and get you back to normal,” Twilight explained with a sparkle in her eye. “And that means I’ll keep you overnight.”
“Yay, sleepover.”
“Thanks, Dash, I’ll take it from here. Dawn, why don’t you find a book to read on the couch until I have the lab ready,” she instructed.
I sighed and went over to the couch. There were a few books on the table but I wasn’t in the mood to read. Instead, I just laid down and tried not to fidget as I waited for Twilight to fix this mess.
.....never break a pinkie promise............. not even celestia dare do that.
think you are one of the more frustrating authors for me on this site. on one hand, when you write stories like this and the original dash of humanity, they are damn good and i really enjoy them. when you write more slashy stories or stories with crazy, crazy plots and often psychosis to them.......... i am torn between despising the especialyl contrived oens yet acknowledging they re well written either way.
not discluding the clop ones in that analysis.
I didn't know it was even possible for Don/Dawn to get EVEN more cynical!
heh i get it now he was eating poison joke, totally didn't pick up on that in the last chapter.
The only thing worse than breaking a pinkie promise is her breaking a pinkie promise to you.
*Geiger counter goes off*
Is that a Half-Life reference that I'm detecting?
It seems like it's just leading to being the story of a man finding his inner woman, and accepting it, and Dawn lives the rest of his life with Big Mac and has tons of babies.
Like a certain other story *cough*Pinkie's Super Secret Extra Special I'm Sorry Cupcake*cough*
Dawn turns into a mare, desperately in heat... What the hell is this, Corruption of Champions?
couldn't stop laughing hysterically and yelling 'Oh my God'. was biting my hands just to keep myself muffled. mabey I could use that bit and handcuffs when reading this story for now on
so he did eat poison joke. I kept thinking he was going to but didn't think he did because it said "light blue flowers with long white stamen" but isn't the flower all blue?
If I went to Equestria, Pinkie would be the first on my long, long long... long kill list.
Pinkie Pie
Prince Blueblood
Soarin
Every "pony" in Canterlot minus Celestia and Luna
Every fashion designer in Manehattan
Rarity
Lyra
Bon-Bon
Diamond Tiara
And a whole shit more that I am not going to list because to lazy
Poor bastard can't catch a break.
I am sure you have a reason, but you (or, Dawn) seem to switch back and forth between past and present tense fairly often.
I will definitely favorite and upvote Dash of Humanity 2: Sexy Bits when it comes out. Because that is the kind of creepy pervert I am.

KBO.
I'm loving the voice in his head thing, it's gold. And that's why you never break a pinkie promise
heh great chapter. Yet it only further cements my dislike of Pinkie Pie. For example, if Pinkie gets so enraged at someone for breaking a Pinkie promise that she replaces the food in their house, what if they suffer an allergic reaction and die? What would Pinkies defense be?
'I was mad because he lied to me!' yeah that'll hold up in court real well.
...Fucking Pinkie
Turning into a mare is totally the poison joke, Dawn will be fine tomorrow, entirely calling it right now.
Everything else was
Though the food was the punishment for breaking the Pinkie Promise, I'm going to speculate (probably wrongly, but I don't care) that the Poison Joke effect was not turning him into a mare, but causing him to go into heat so badly. I think that something else (or someone else [á la Discord]) caused him to turn into a mare, which let Desire gain a foothold in his mind to talk to him.
Though Pinkie did say that she thought Don/Dawn would prefer to be a mare...
3831238 3831233
Well, Pinkie gave him spicy cupcakes and unscrewed his salt shaker, and left a note on his empty milk carton Sounds normal to me :)
The poison joke and its effects was all Dawn. Silly pony. Never graze on flowers near the Everfree!
3831215
WHen I write in a hurry, like trying to write 20k in 9 hours... I lose control of tense. Sadly, my editors were so frustrated they didn't catch them all. One even quit, lol. I suck as an author.
3831193
They're blue and light blue on the show. Artists seem to favor a solid blue, and I've seen fan art of blue/white. It was a clever little thing to look back and go "aha!"
3831185
I wish.
3831175
Nah, he'll have to accept a gender identity, and a special somepony. I don't want to give things away, but the story would be no fun if Dawn just popped out of Celestia's magical birth-canal and slid in bed with Fluttershy, knocking her up with fifty foals.
3831094
3831113
Yes the irony, the reversal of expectations! Pinkie must be insane, she turned him into a mare! Or... she just did childish pranks to his salt shaker.
3831022
And then I never give you enough... always with the cliffhangers and making you come back for more.
Dawn X Desire. I would totally be up for that.
i forgot he ate that poison joke...Good luck with that Dawn
Author guy just keep the chapters coming
3831317 actually i always give up on those ones.
3831284 Actually, there is only one cure for Poison Joke, a bubble bath with a specific blend of herbs. Twilight has the book with the recipe for the herbal bubble bath, she just needs to properly diagnose it. And you know how well that usually goes.
Well, I was gonna point out the tense mix-ups, but since those have already been addressed, I'll just say that I enjoyed the chapter and I can't wait for the next one.
Good luck with the moving and fuk u for that teaser in the author's note.....
3831173 That pun was bad and you should feel bad.
I do remember the slight, vague, mention of poison joke. Though I prefer to think of this whole changing into a mare thing as his inner mare wanting to be real so bad that it's actually messing with the magic that allows Don to exist. Like in the first story where him and Dash were switching who controls her body it will be Don and Desire except his whole body will change into that of a mare. Also, I get this feeling that Rose Luck was his blind date.
3831208 What did Fancy Pants and Octavia do to make it on your "kill list?"
Man, if this happened to me I would lose my shit something fierce. He may be a pony of body, but he is still a human of soul, so all the ponies may want to watch out for a "mare" that goes on a mad killing spree. Or at least that is where I would end up going, there would be no saving my mind after that point. Thank God that this kind of shit doesn't happen in real life.... am i right?
3831317 i know that, but one of my friends is deathly allergic to anything spicy. Even capsicums can send him into complete throat closing, eye burning spasms. Feeding people something like that against their knowledge is a dick move.
TL;DR Pinkie continues to prove she wants to murder everyone
Somepony's hiding in plain sight.
This chapter was hilarious.
Rule 48.
I follow with 49:
One cat leads to another
of course followed by rule 50:
Another cat leads to Zippo Cat.
generally Kaidan follows Rule 51:
No matter what it is, it is somebody's fetish. No exceptions.
Welp, this is tumbling down the hole of "Should Have Never had a Sequel" territory.
[Uh... Dawn?]
Is strange, that voice, it sounds like I would sound if I tried to imitate Fluttershy voice with my new girls voice.
Desire?
[No... my name is... Heart. Iris tied Desire up again and insisted that I talk to you.]
So... if Desire is my desires and I guess Iris is my ego or something, you are... what?
[I... I am not sure what I am. I am your heart? Your kindness? Your insecurities? Look... Dawn... Pinkie Pie didn't do this. Loyalty insisted doing this kind of thing was too much for her and I agree. Is... is hard to think being in heat, but I think you ate poison joke.]
WHAT?
[Look Dawn... if I am your Heart, would I lie to you? Think, why would I do that?]
I... I can't move... why can't I move? Oh and I guess you have no reason to lie to me. Why is every part of myself I have meet so far a mare?
[ I... I can't do this... I... I don't want to tell you...]
Then there was a sound that sounded like Fluttershy screaming in panic and running to hide under a table.
Then I remember that for some reason I cant move, I open my eyes and see myself in the tub, is probably Twilight, the water is cold, how long have I been here?
I get out the tub and dry myself up, slowly, so slowly.
What she didn't want to tell me? Was Heart so shy and insecure because that's how I feel myself?
[You are not alone Dawn, don't let being a mare in heat let you forget that]
Now that voice sounds like mare me trying to do Rainbow Dash voice.
And who are you supposed to be?
[Who are you loyal to Dawn? Who are the ponies you would do anything for?]
Loyal? Who I am loyal to?
Rainbow Dash, what she share together... is like we are family, she is like a cool big sister. Sure she is hot, but I think that if we ever had sex... it would be awkward.
Fluttershy... she is the mare I love, but she only likes girls. She says she is willing to be my friend but... it hurts. But then if I truly loved her, I would not let something like gender stop me, right? True love should be about doing anything to be with your chosen one.
Is Scootaloo my little sister? I know she will never see me how she sees Dash but... I want to be part of her life.
[Those are the ponies you care about, they are your fortress. Not everything looks perfect, but then, nothing is. Focus on them Dawn, don't let this beat you. But please, loyalty is not just about others, have you been loyal to yourself?
Wow, that sounded like... wise? Why I am moving so slow? And loyal to myself?
[It may be artificial, but you are in heat, you need release, and you don't even have the excuse of never having done it as a mare before.]
No, I am not a-
"Dawn, are you done? There is more tests that I want to..." Twilight Sparkle entered the bathroom
I looked at the lovely bookworm, she was so cute. And then... I decided, to just stop resisting. At least it was not a colt, not the handsome, strong, tall Big Mac... I bet he could just-
"DAWN!" Twilight Sparkle said, and I noticed I had somewhat pined her down to the ground, this is ridiculous, she has enough magic to make me release her if she wants.
"Twilight Sparkle... you are not resisting." The adorle princess blushes, is like haft of the mares around likes to play with other mares or something!
"No... I know is wrong, you are sick... but... " Twilight then kissed me, it was a timid, shy kiss, then she hauled me with her magic to the basement downstairs, and locked the door. I did not resist, I did not scream. I needed this even more than her.
[DAWN DO AND THE SECRET OF MAREHOOD!]
Dammit Iris!
I gathered he'd eaten poison joke, but I really didn't expect things to go this particular way. I think this captured the spirit of mean the plant embodies :P
You know what would be awesome? In a gratuitously mean let's kick a puppy sort of way, that is? That Soarin showed up for whatever reason.
Lastly, Damn that blacked out blank space!
I totally clicked on it :P
Well played, Mr. Author. Well played.

.... whut?
I wish is wasn't poison joke and Dawn would be stuck a mare forever! I like the mare Dawn with crazy voice in his head!

*goes back and doublechecks*
Ah so he did eat poison Joke.
Honestly that's too bad. Although given how most ponies only come into contact with it, I'm wondering if actually consuming it will have more permanent consequences.
And I was kind of hoping he'd be stuck as a mare... or randomly swapping between mare and stallion too.
Twilight got a "sparkle" in her eyes.
I thought it was Luna at first lol. NOPE
Pinkie promise for the win!!!
Got bored of 'Dawn' already? Or was this planned? 'Cause by-golly is it hard to read :I
Hm. This story contain: forced transformation, sex alteration, sex reffernces based on that, protag`s suffering.
And this story have "comedy" tag. What comical in said features? This story should be tagged "dark" and no less.
This is getting kind of hard to read. Don is bat shit crazy (understandably) and needs to be in psychiatric care, really badly. Which wouldnt be so bad accept that its plaid completely for laughs. Hopefully this story arc progresses quickly and we can either see resolution or just get to something else.
I don't know why exactly, but that line seriously cracked me up.
And the moral of today's story is: Do NOT break a Pinkie Promise. Ever. Otherwise your flank is grass.
3831653 first I loved this chapter it had me LOTF and it made who else is bounsing around in Dawn's head and I hope your right and thanks to Desire he will be jumping between both genders .And it's not the poison joke and I like Pinkie pie she cool and her pranks on him will teach him not to go around breaking Pinkie promises.And that was a close call with Big Mac and I hope to see more with other ponys and Dawn should become bi if he does have the power to switch genders have the best of both worlds.I can't wait to see what happens next to Dawn.

Dawn has voices talking in HER head, and she ends having sex with Twilight.

(written before chap 5)
Kaidan are you feeling a little repressed because of the slice of life genre change? I'm only asking because while the original Dash of Humanity definitely had it's share of pushing the limits of character eccentricities, this sequel seems to go above and beyond that because there isn't much of a over aching plot to focus on or keep the story on rails. Forgive the leap in logic if it is entirely false, but it seems like Desire is just your desire for something to happen. This character ultimately comes off as one note and really lacking any personality, and although that may be intentional since she is just a fragment of don, she's also a character like anyone else.
Also I'm glad Pinkie wasn't the one who caused the gender change that would have been just horrible and mean spirited. Not to mention if she did cause the gender change, cupeled with the off the wall personalities I might have mistaken this fic for "the unexpected love life of dusk shine"
Yes her favorite were the little blue flowers that taste like chocolate.
Here comes the choo choo train! *splatter kill*!
Glad it updated, not sure if I'm happy with getting into another gender swap problem and possibly insane voices. Was more ready to hear him trying to live like a pony with more social issues and drama between Sourin and Dawn. But I'll keep reading because I liked the first one. I'm sure this will be worth it though.
3833349 I like to think that the reason that he was in heat so bad was because it was built up. What I mean by that is... imagine never going in heat and then years later it finally hits you, all at once. All those years of not going into heat hitting you in full force, basically experiencing 5+ years of heat put in one.
3832092 What are you talking about? If your going to make a statement like that at least provide some coherent argument to back it up.

In Kaidan defense, Desire is just Don need for some loving. It does not represent, Love or his Heart. There are other two ponies that represent that. Don is a hormonal male in a town full of females, and his mind is screwed because he used to be a mare.
Remenber Dash of Humanity 1? Don have up being male and human because of Scootaloo, Dashie and the others. It was a sacrifice, that kind of change is not easily undone.
