The Big and Cuddly Ursa Minor Returns!

by Foal Star

Chapter Two: Spear Point saves the day!

As Fluttershy was dealing with Trixie and Twilight, Princess Celestia was sitting at her desk in her room going over some boring tax laws. That was until the strange friendship lesson burst out from her horn and plopped right on her desk. She then took the scroll and unfurled it out, and continued reading the lesson to herself. It was rather funny being in regards to Fluttershy teaching the Cutie Mark Crusaders about caring for animals. It seems that the yellow-coated pegasus left the CMC squad to care for Trixie, and it was quite an amusing tale. However, the entire ordeal did end up having the Ursa Minor cause a rampage through Sweet Apple Acres. The princess of the sun couldn't help but burst into laughter as she finished reading the lesson. Her sister Luna must have overheard her as the princess of the night opened the door and eyed her sister, then asked, "what are you laughing about?"

"Oh, you have to read this!" Celestia exclaimed, handing the scroll to Luna, who looked down at it with a curious look. The princess of the night then began to read the lesson; she then burst into fits of laughter as she threw her hooves over her face. "Oh my Faust! That was hilarious! Those cutie mark crusaders are quite the hooful!"

Luna took control of herself and looked up as she wiped the tears from her eyes as she looked upward, "well, that was a nice little read. Do these cutie mark crusaders have such adventures quite often?"

"It seems that those three have caught my interest, many young foals enjoy the search of their cutie marks, but I never seen the tenacity to find them as much as from these three," Celestia explained.

Luna gave this dreamy look as she looked upward. "I remember how desperate I was to find mine! I wanted one like Starswirl's."

Celestia couldn't help but feel the same way reminiscing about finding her cutie mark. The princess of the sun then looked back to Luna. She noticed her sister's body started to enlarge and become pudgier and heavier. The alicorn looked down at her own hooves and saw them now covered in a thicker coat of fur. Celestia stepped back with her wide-eyed, seeing her sister transforming in front of her eyes as she cried out, "Luna! Are you ok!?"

Luna groaned as she was bloating upward with her face morphing, becoming thicker and squareish, Muscles bulging; she then turned to her sister and started to make growling noises. Celestia, however, began to groan as she felt her own body beginning to change. The princess of the sun groaned as she felt her body starting to morph and bloat out. She looked downward to see her body was now covered in a thicker coat of white fur. She watched her horror as her hooves turned into thick stocky paws; she fell backwards onto her back and looked down to see her belly-bloating outward. But it didn't take long for Celestia to realize the both of them have been transformed into bears of some sort. The princess of the sun turned to her sister and asked, "What happened? What did we transform into?"

"I... I'm not sure?" Luna responded in a worried tone; the two both looked at a mirror, and that was when the princess of the night gaped in awe at what the two alicorns were transformed into. Celestia was now a stocky white coated bear with big blue eyes and little suns printed all over her body. As for Luna she was covered in a night blue coat plastered with silvery stars and moons all over her. The princess of the night then cried out, "how is this possible! How did we turn into Ursa Minors!?"

Princess Celestia could only blink and wonder as she turned over to her sister. "You know more about the constellations than me? What is this? We didn't drink the teat of an Ursa Major?"

Luna paused, seeming to be thinking things over, then she shook her head. "I...I don't know...but...I was..um...researching a way to turn Trixie back to normal, and I did come across something that might help...though it's a risky solution."

"What is it!? We have to try something we can't stay like this!" Princess Celestia cried out; she was desperate to get back to normal no matter the cost!

The princess of the night seemed to still be hesitant as she took a long pause, but she shook her head. "Not now, I'll tell you later, for now, we need to go to Ponyville. I can only assume something happened to Twilight. I'll discuss my plans when we're all together."

The princess of the sun realized at the same time her sister was right...to be honest, she was always more intelligent than her...but there's a big problem. Celestia looked out at her rather pudgy and adorable form; she couldn't let her subjects see herself or her sister like this. She looked up back at Luna and said, "we need to get there without any pony seeing us? Is that possible?"

Luna plopped onto her big fluffy bottom, tapping a paw to her chin as she was also pondering on how to leave without anypony noticing. Then as if on cue, a young pegasus soldier came through the door and looked around with a nervous expression on his face. He then just looked right at the two fluffy bears; they just stared back at him as he stammered, "Uh...I uh...um heard growls and...um...what happened to you two?"

The princess of the sun tried to explain that they were transformed into Ursa Minors, and they needed to get to Ponyville. But the guard held up a hoof and shouted, "Slow down! I can't understand you!"

He peeked his head out the door and looked around the hall, making sure nopony else was around to overhear. The guard then closed the doors, the stallion then looked around the room and spotted the scroll on the desk. The royal guard walked over and took the lesson and read it for some time, then he muttered to himself. "Ok, I'm assuming from you two being like this, it's a magical incident similar to that one with that mare..trix...Trickster or something in Ponyville six months ago…"

He continued to pace back and forth in front of the two Ursa Minors as he mumbled to himself. "From what I can see, there's nothing out of normal here except for this friendship lesson from Twilight. I'm assuming you must've been transformed around the same time you received it, which means that most likely whatever happened to you started in Ponyville!"

The two Ursa Minors both nodded their heads and clapped their paws in applause at the guard's intuition. Celestia herself then tried to ask if the royal guard can help them leave without anypony noticing. But the pegasus cheeks just flushed red as he replied, "sorry, I don't speak bear, but I think that I get what you're trying to say."

The royal guard then peeked out the door once more; the two Ursa Minors waited patiently. He then threw a hoof, telling them to follow him; the two chubby bears followed the stallion down the hall, trying to be as quiet as possible. AS they came down the hall the stallion held up a hoof again and Celestia accidently slammed her muzzle into Luna’s pudgy butt making her sister snarl. The guard turned around and, “ssshed!” them just as he turned to face another guard coming down the hall.

The pegasus shouted, "halt!"

The two bears paused in the hall, then they heard another gruff voice ask, "um...Spear Point, what are you talking about?"

"Um...I...um already patrolled this area, and there's no need to do it yourself." Spear Point squeaked out and celestia could see the pegasus was clearly sweating and acting way to nervous.

"Are you sure? you sound really nervous for some reason?" The other guard asked in a rather suspicious tone.

"Nope! Everything is fine! Now please leave so I may continue my patrol!" Spear Point snapped back.

The other guard shrugged then walked off as Spear Point continued to lead the two Ursa Minors through the castle to a lone torch on one of the stone walls. He then pulled on it, revealing a secret passage. Spear Point turned around and waved a hoof and shouted, "Come on! this way!"

"Did you know that was there?" Luna asked, her sister being a bit nervous at the sight of the secret passage.

Celestia shook her head, and she, of course, knew that this castle has tons of secret rooms and passageways. She looked at her sister and replied, "no, of course not, but I trust my guards. I'm sure Spear Point knows what he's doing."

Luna looked her sister over before commenting, "I'll go first then."

The night blue bear slowly waddled towards the tunnel entrance; she then attempted to go through first, only to get stuck in the narrow staircase. She kicked and growled, shouting, "help! Celestia, help!"

"I'm coming, sister!" The big white-coated bear roared as she ran over, came behind Luna, placed her giant paws on her massive blue butt, and attempted to push her through. The two bears were grunting and roaring as Spear Point just stood at the bottom of the stairs looking somewhat horrified, wondering if he just got the two princesses of Equestria stuck in the staircase.

Luna was snarling and growling as Celestia kept pushing up against her rump. The white-coated bear grunted and growled as she mustered enough strength to slam her giant paws into Luna, finally dislodging her. But as a result, Celestia fell after her sister losing her footing as the two Ursa Minors tumbled right onto Spear Point, and the three tumbled down the steps in a giant ball of fur. The three then crashed at the bottom of the steps, with the two Ursa Minors sitting at the bottom rubbing their paws over their heads. Spear Point also slowly pulled himself up and brushed the dirt off his coat and flexed his bent wings, and grumbled, "well, at the very least, we're at the bottom of the castle."

He came over to the princesses, helping them both onto all fours. He then came upon a row of chariots and saw one in particular there; it was pretty huge, doubling the size of the other chariots parked there. Spear Point's cheeks flushed pink as he turned to Celestia and explained, "We made this for you just in case if you got too big...ya know, just in case."

Celestia pouted as she crossed her paws in front of her chest while her sister roared in laughter. The white-coated bear snarled and slammed her paws into her sister making her stumble onto her back. Luna growled back, and the two were about to get into a fight, but Spear Point rushed over and threw his hooves up and shouted, "Hey, no fighting! The sooner we get to Ponyville, the sooner we can get you two back to normal! After that, then you can fight all you want!"

The two bears snorted then gave nods as Spear Point gave a sigh of relief; he then led the two Ursa Minors to the chariot and helped them get settled into the seats. The stallion then hitched himself to the chariot and spread his wings out, and exclaimed, "alright! This might take a few hours and a few stops, but I'm going to get you two to Ponyville!"

The princesses both gave each other disgruntled growls. Celestia herself was still rather angry being called fat, and she still wanted to wrestle her sister. Spear Point grunted as he pulled the chariot; the princess of the sun herself was surprised to see a pegasus being able to pull so much weight by himself. They eventually made it out into the courtyard. The stallion took a moment to catch his breath, then threw his wings out, looked into the air, readied himself then with a woosh! He took off into the air! The Ursa Minors both roared in excitement, throwing their paws in the air as Spear Point strained against the weight. He continued to fly through the sky; he grunted and wheezed, flapping his wings as hard as he could. Celestia sat back feeling terrible putting one of her guards through so much pain, but at the same time, was also hoping he wouldn't drop them!

Spear Point groaned as he continued the flight through the air; he was beyond exhausted with his back and wings feeling like they were going to fall off at any second. The two princesses weighed at least a ton; he was heaving and wheezing, but he was determined to get the princesses safely to Golden Oaks library. But as he came over Ponyville, he couldn't help but give a sigh of relief. He started the descent heading towards the library; it wasn't hard spotting the giant oak tree. He then flexed his wings at an angle and slammed his hooves into the dirt, squeaking as he landed rather hard as he dug into the earth, somehow ending up in a pretty deep hole. He then threw the hitch off and wheezed, "we made it…"

He then heard hoofsteps above and looked up to see Spike peering down, who then shouted, "you ok!?"

"Yeah, I'm fine! Are the princesses ok!?" Spear Point shouted back.

Spike looked over and grumbled, "define, ok?"

The guard chuckled under his breath, seeing the young drake must have seen the princesses in their new forms, and responded, "I assume that's a yes."

He then flew out of his hole and saw the young drake with his mouth agape seeing the princesses in their Ursa Minor forms. Spike just slammed a claw to his face as the tired royal guard came forward. "You...your um...Spikey, right?"

"My name is Spike! What happened to Celestia and Luna!?" The little drake shouted.

"Um...I don't know?" The stallion responded, still wheezing as he was still somewhat exhausted from the long flight. Still, he continued to explain regardless, "all I know is I found them like this, and I assume Twilight was involved."

Spike groaned, coming over to the two alicorns and assisted the two Ursa Minors out of the chariot and grumbled, "well...at the very least I'll take them to Fluttershy that's where the other two are."

Spear Point nodded, barely being able to pay attention as he collapsed on the street and wheezed, "can I have some water first?”

"No time!" Spike shouted as he ran off down the road leading the two chubby bears. Spear Point groaned as he got up and stumbled after the drake heading towards Fluttershy's cottage.
