What’s the hold up?” Scootaloo asked impatiently as she stopped on the overgrown path through Everfree. “Hold yer horses, ahm comin’…” Apple Bloom complained as she trotted to catch up. “We wouldn’t have gotten left behind if you hadn’t run ahead like that!” fumed a tired Sweetie Belle. Standing together, the three fifteen-year old fillies didn’t look like much. They were all about five feet tall. Scootaloo and Apple Bloom were in shape and fit (Apple Bloom more-so, due to all that work on the farm), while Sweetie Belle was a bit more slim, with slight developing curves. Scootaloo was dressed in some knee-length shorts and a tank top. Apple Bloom wore her favorite pair of worn-out jeans and a buttoned-up shirt with apples embroidered on. Sweetie Belle came in a t-shirt she claimed was autographed by DJ-PON3 (although the others couldn’t help but notice the signature looked a lot like her own…) and a skirt. “Look, if we’re gonna get to Zecora’s hut before she gets back from shopping, we’re going to have to hurry!” Scootaloo complained, already rushing ahead again. “Why’re we doin’ this again? I mean, ya’ll know what happened last time Ah tried to use a potion to git mah cutie mark…” Applebloom said as she kept pace with the eager pegasus. “Wait… for… ME!!!” Sweetie panted as she struggled to keep up. “We’re not going to try THAT again! Look I’ll tell you my plan WHEN WE GET THERE, okay? So let’s go!” “Alright, alright, but can we at least slow down for Sweetie? Ah don’t think she’s much accustomed to runnin’…” -~~--~~--~~- At Zecora’s hut, the trio found a note on the door (in rhyme, naturally) apologizing for her absence. “Well, she’s not home, guess we should try later, let’s go…” Sweetie Belle stated as she spun around to leave, only to be stopped by Scootaloo grabbing her by the hair. “Ow! What’s the big-” “Remember how I said, BEFORE she gets back?” Scootaloo explained, annoyed. “But how’re we gonna…” In answer, Scootaloo reached over and opened the door. “Zecora never locks her door. She lives in the middle of Everfree, for Celestia’s sake, who would try and steal from her?” “Umm…” Apple Bloom shifted from hoof to hoof nervously. “Us?” Scootaloo fixed her Earth pony friend with a hard glare before shaking her head. “We’re not stealing, we’re borrowing! It’s completely different! We’re gonna make it up to her, don’t you worry about that!” “And just what,” Sweetie Belle insisted, pulling her mane out of Scootaloo’s grip, “Are we making up to her FOR?” “Okay, okay, hear me out. Today, we are going to find out our cutie marks, if only for just a second! Cutie Mark Crusaders… we are going to turn ourselves into full-grown mares!” Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom stared and the dramatically posed Scootaloo. “Umm… how exactly’ll that help us?” Apple Bloom asked. Scootaloo dropped the pose and sighed. “If we can see what our cutie marks look like, we’ll know what to try to get them!” “But wouldn’t we just turn into mares without cutie marks?” Sweetie Belle interjected. Scootaloo face-palmed at her friends doubts. “Look girls, this is the best shot we’ve got. It’ll only be temporary. If it doesn’t work, then it doesn’t work. So, are you in or out?” The other two glanced at each other, worried. After a moment, Apple Bloom nervously said, “Ah guess Ah’m in…” Sweetie then followed by saying “Yeah, I’m in. But this better be worth it…” With that, the three Crusaders entered the zebra’s hut. ~--~~--~~--~ Scootaloo immediately sought out what appeared to be the shelves of Zecora’s most potent and mysterious potions. She was frustrated to find that none of the labels had words on them, just pictures, most of which were pretty vague. She saw a few with pictures of pregnant mares. Nope. There were some showing wing loss and horn growth, or vice versa. No way. She saw one with what looked like a stallion with a massive… Nonononono!!! “Hey Scoots, over here!” Sweetie Belle called out. Scootaloo raced over. In Sweetie’s hand was a bottle with a picture of a filly on the left, a larger pony on the right, and an arrow pointing from the one to the other. Yes! An age potion, I’m sure of it! She snatched it out of Sweetie’s hands excitedly, despite her protests. “So, Crusaders… who’s first?” Sweetie Belle pouted and crossed her arms, obviously upset at having the bottle taken from her. Apple Bloom just shuffled her hooves and mumbled some inaudible excuses. “Oh… are you foals, or mares? Fine, you don’t want to, I’ll go!” And before either could say a thing, Scootaloo had swigged a mouth full of the strangely salty tasting potion. As she wiped her lips, she heard Apple Bloom gasp and Sweetie Belle say “Oh… that’s not good…” “What’s going on? Wuh… URK!!” Suddenly, a searing heat flared through Scootaloo’s body, making her stumble, just barely catching herself on a counter before slamming into the ground. Her body felt like it was on fire! Dear sweet Celestia! What was in that shit?! She eased herself down as the heat continued to grow more intense in certain regions. Am I growing? Am I getting older? She couldn’t stand much more. Pain… fear… pleasure… all of these things raced through her. She let out a low moan as the feeling began to subside, leaving behind a calm, cool pleasing feeling. “Uh… S-Scootaloo?” Apple Bloom asked shakily, holding out two things for her to see. The first was a different bottle. On it was a similar image to the one she drank out of. However, this one was most definitely a filly to a curvaceous grown mare. So… what was the one on my bottle? She got her answer when she glanced in the mirror held in Apple Bloom’s hand. Staring back at her was an scared-looking orange colt with a short, spiky, purple mane. -~~--~~--~~- “No…” Scootaloo said in disbelief, staring at herself… or rather, himself. “No, no, no no nonononoNO!!!” He began to look over himself. Her toned, yet slightly curvy body had turned into his flat yet even more toned body. Goddesses, I look like I could actually beat Apple Bloom at arm wrestling! He was about half a foot taller than she was before. His muzzle was definitely that of a stallion rather than her mare muzzle. “Wow,” Sweetie Belle said, vocalizing what they all were thinking. “You’re a… a total… stud!” It was then that Scoot noticed the way his friends were looking at him. He recognized that trance-like gaze… It was the stare they used when they spotted a cute colt from their class or a hunky stallion on the street. Oh, no! They’re crushing on me! Despite his disgust at this, a certain… part of him seemed to enjoy the attention. A part of him that he had been desperately trying to ignore the existence of… but now made its presence known. A slight bulge in Scoot’s tight shorts started to grow in size, until finally, the head of it managed to poke out the top, almost popping the zipper to reveal itself completely. A moment of silence passed between the three… And then the zipper popped, allowing it to reveal itself. A rather large (for his age) cock, sitting right there for all to see, fully erect, with a matching pair of balls sitting right below. Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom couldn’t take their widened eyes off it. Scoot could swear he saw some drool trailing out of the open mouth of Sweetie Belle. Ooooh, no… Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom looked at each other. And smiled. Oh no oh no oh nonononoNO! With narrowed eyes and flirtatious grins, the two teenage fillies started to strut their stuff towards the cute colt with the big dick before them. And Scoot, despite his immense desire to run for help, found himself suddenly entranced by his two friends, with their blooming breasts and slender legs. Whoa… when’d they get so… sexy? ~--~~--~~--~ “N-now girls, let’s not get hasty or anything here!” Scoot stammered as Apple Bloom closed in. He tried to stand to back away, but his body was still feeling a little weak from the transformation. He was helpless as Apple Bloom sat down on his legs, licking her lips and eying that hot, throbbing rod in front of her. “Ya know, Scoots,” Apple Bloom drawled, undoing a few buttons on her shirt, “Ah eat a lotta apples. Apple pie, apple fritters, apple sauce… ya know? So ya’ll will understand if’n Ah get a little tired of apples and get a cravin’ fer… something else.” Scoot’s eyes went wide as Apple Bloom bared her breasts for him, sending perverse shivers down his spine. He closed his eyes to try and block out the view, which disturbed the part of his mind that was still filly… but there they were. He couldn’t stop thinking about how round and soft they looked… and how great it would be to give them a little suckle. With these perverted thoughts, he barely noticed his shirtless female friend slide into a different position. When he did open his eyes, he found her lying on top of him, face right next to his cock. Oh shit, she’s gonna blow me! Apple Bloom started by licking slowly, from the base to the head, bottom to top, bottom to top… Scoot let out a gasp each time, unable to believe how… good this felt. Then, she started sucking at the head of the cock. “How’s the popsicle, Apple Bloom?” Sweetie Belle teased. All the horny Earth pony could get out was a pleased “Mmmm…” As she started taking it deeper into her throat, Scoot started letting out pleased moans. He could feel a pressure… or something… building up in his loins, growing slightly more intense with each stroke of her mouth up and down his dick, her tongue licking the length of it as she went. Oh, Celestia, let him cum already! This is drivin’ me insane! Apple Bloom thought through her bliss, as she started trying to milk his cock deeper, harder, faster. Wow, she wants it bad, doesn’t she? Scoot thought through the crashing waves of lust-filled euphoria and ecstasy. Well, too bad! She’s gonna have to work harder than that to make me jizz! Apple Bloom had hit her limit. She literally couldn’t take any more cock in her mouth. She kept working, tried to pick up the pace and blow him harder and faster. Scoot smiled for a moment, then gritted his teeth in preparation for what was to come. “Apple… Bloom! I’m gonna… gonna… CUM!” In a massive burst, Apple Bloom’s mouth and throat became flooded with hot, gooey semen. Oh goddesses… so… much… cum… And she loved it! She greedily gulped down every last drop of it, even going as far as to lick the drooping dick clean afterwards. Scoot sat panting for a moment as his equine penis retreated into its sheath to rest. Despite being disgusted for having just had sex with one of his best friends, he felt amazing! It was like a damn had just burst in his crotch, bringing with it a light-headed sensation of joy and relieve. And in that moment, he felt like he had to have more! “So, Sweetie, how’re ya’ll feelin’? Hungry for some yer self? Luna knows it’s one heckuva meal!” Apple Bloom commented as she wiped her muzzle clean. Sweetie Belle just laughed, then began to strip as she spoke. “Nope. I’ve got something different in mind.” Scoot looked over just in time to have a pair of panties smack him in the face. As he picked them off, he felt a naked filly’s body pressing against him. He looked again… right into the shining eyes of his unicorn friend, just in time to receive a sweet kiss that made his stallion-hood start to reawaken. As she broke the kiss and fondled her breasts for Scoot’s enjoyment, she explained her plan, making Apple Bloom gasp and Scoot’s cock to go all the way erect. “Girls, today I’m going to lose my virginity… to Scootaloo!” -~~--~~--~~- Before Scoot could protest, Sweetie Belle had already started rubbing his enlarged prick against her virgin pussy, trying to get herself moist. Scoot grunted a little out of pleasure. Sure, it wasn’t much, but hey, he was starting to get used to this stuff! Sweetie lit up her horn, causing both pussy and cock to be momentarily enveloped in magic aura. “What was that for?” Scoot complained. Sweetie raised an eyebrow at him and smiled. “I like you and think you’re a hottie and all… but I don’t think either of us is quite ready for me to have your babies, Scoots!” Scoot couldn’t help blush at this. “Oh… right. Continue…” Sweetie Belle, feeling that her vag was ready, eased herself on to his meat, and began rubbing herself on it, sort of using him as a dildo. A big, hot, meaty dildo. As he watched her work at him, Scoot began licking his lips as more perverted teenage colt thoughts raced through his mind. Oh, wow, some of her sex juices are dribbling out on me… mmm… wonder if mare honey is as sweet as I hear? Maybe later I’ll get to eat somepony out! Damn, I’ve only just started, and already I feel like I’m going to cum on her… I mean him! Come on, Sweetie, hold it together! Determined to get the most out of this and to try and cum at the same time as him, Sweetie Belle began shoving down deeper onto the big cock, thrusting herself faster and harder each time. Oh, fuck me, he’s big! I don’t think I can take it all! Again Scoot felt the pressure building, but he again held on. Let’s make this filly sweat a little! She wants to make herself a mare off of me? She’ll have to earn it! Sweetie let out a squeal of pleasure as she felt her pussy flooding with her sexual fluids. “Oh, fuck! I’m cumming! I… I… I came…” With his loins soaked in mare cum and a naked, horny filly bouncing, fast and hard, on his cock, Scoot couldn’t help but grin through his sighs and moans. This… this is great! I should have fucked with fillies years ago… oh, wait… I just became a colt about an hour ago… riiiggghhht… Sweetie Belle was tired, sweating and panting from the workout Scoot’s still hard cock was giving her, but refused to give up. He has to be close, he has to cum soon! Otherwise… oh Celestia, I might just pass out… oh no, I think I’m going to cum again! “Oh goddesses… Sweetie… I think I’m getting close! I’m almost there! I need more! MORE!!” Scoot shouted, almost madly, at the panting pony on his cock, who doubled her efforts at his urging. “Oh Celestia, oh Luna, oh… oh Discord, I’m going to… not again… I’m going… to…” Suddenly, both Sweetie Belle AND Scoots released their loads, causing a flooding of sex juices into, onto, and all around the two. Sweetie immediately pulled herself off, and embraced Scootaloo like a long lost lover. “That… was… awesome...” they both panted in unison. “Dayum, lookit that mess… we’d better git all this cleaned before…” Before Apple Bloom could finish, all three friends heard the front door creak open. They all looked toward the door, terrified, knowing what they were going to see. Standing in the doorway, a bag of groceries slung over her shoulder, was a certain, buxom zebra mare. Zecora just stared, then sighed, dropped her bags, and rubbed her temples, muttering under her breath, “Why, when I go out to town, does it seem… that I always return to what looks like a bad dream…” ~--~~--~~--~ Zecora stood, arms crossed and face unreadable, as the three friends explained what had occurred since her departure, an explanation that might have gone a little too far into details and involved way too many vague gestures. Zecora just stood, nodding every now and then, not saying a word. Scoot had finally been able to stand, although he wished he hadn’t when he realized that Zecora’s eyes kept drifting to his large cock. Two thoughts raced through his mind. One was horrified and disturbed. Oh Celestia, she can see my dick! it thought. The other was excited by the attention, thinking Oh Celestia, she can see my dick! The latter caused his cock to grow erect, only increasing the blank stares. It was now that Scoot realized what a goddess Zecora looked like. She was tall (even in his taller male form, he only came to her chest!), her breasts had to be at least E cups, her waist was wasp-thin, and her rear end matched her boobs in size and roundness, giving her a perfect hourglass figure! And the way she dressed… he never really noticed how scantily clad she was! Her top was just a tribal, bikini-like strip of cloth, just barely concealing her nipples. And below… her mare-hood was blocked from view by a small, simple loincloth. Looking at her like this… it drove the male part of Scoot’s mind wild, imagining fucking that perfect body. Groping those giant tits… plunging his cock deep into the depths of her- His thoughts were cut off when Zecora finally spoke, her tone terse and serious. “For coming uninvited, stealing my work, and leaving this mess… I have some fitting punishments for each, which I shall now address.” “Mopping the mess goes to Sweetie Belle… For I now that much of it is her gel…” Sweetie Belle blushed at the mention of her cum on the floor, and ran to get a mop. “Apple Bloom, gather these ingredients you will…” She handed a list to Apple Bloom before finishing with, “For the antidote, and to replace the potion your friend did swill.” Apple Bloom nodded and ran out to Zecora’s garden to pick what she requested. Zecora then fixed Scoot in her hard gaze. “As for you, colt who once was a filly… I suggest that you come with me…” Zecora turned and trotted to a back room. Scoot gulped and followed, eyes glued to the swaying of her curvaceous hips. -~~--~~--~~- Zecora led Scoot into what appeared to be her bedroom. Scoot stood there, waiting to hear his punishment, shuffling his hoof a bit. What could she do that she wants me alone for? Oh, Celestia, save me! “I have but one price for you to pay, to make me forget what you’ve done today.” “To pay for my potion that you took, and for the antidote that I must cook…” “All I request is this one test to pass… can you slip your cock into my ass?” Scoot froze, mouth agape, as Zecora’s words rang through his mind. I’m going to fuck Zecora… I’m going to fuck with Zecora! He shook his head to clear his mind, just in time to see Zecora slipping out of her clothes, revealing her perfect, naked form. With a smile, she began to tease him by groping her mountainous tits and squeezing them, letting out a loud moan as she did so. Then, she turned to give him a better view of her hot ass. Damn! She’s even hornier than those two were! And even hotter too! With his cock fully erect, Scoot positioned himself just right, then began rubbing his hard length against her anus. So I just… put it in there? Alright… alright… He place his hands on her hips, got a firm grim, and carefully, Scoot began to insert his rod into her tight asshole. As he began slowly pumping into her, he could hear her lewd moans, could see her groping one of her milk mounds with one hand and working her pussy with the other. “Yes, yes, fuck my ass with your young length! Oh, so big! Divine Ones! Give me strength!” she started to scream as he started pumping her harder. Oh fuck yeah, she wants it bad, doesn’t she? Scoot thought to himself, strangely pleased to be the dominant one this time. Well now she’s got it! He was now fucking her as deep and hard as he could, forcing his cock in and out of her tight hole as fast as he could, making her scream and beg for more! He smiled as felt her spasm from a burst of cum. Wow, isn’t she a squirter! He watched her bring her sex juice soaked hand to her chest to fondle her other tit. She squeezed and tugged at her nipples as if trying to milk a cow… and seeing this just made Scoot even hornier. “Please, Scootaloo boy, I beg you, blow! For I fear that my sanity is about to go!” Alright then! She wants cum, she’ll get it! Time… for the grand finale! Feeling that he had hit his limit, he yanked himself out and deftly flipped her over. And then… he let a massive load of cum out onto the surprised zebra mare. When his load finished, she was coated… her tits, her face, her legs… all splattered with his hot goo. Zecora sat stunned for a moment before she started licking up some of the cum off of her face, a horny look on her face. She started toying with her breasts again for him, and the message was clear… Scoots smiled as he climbed on top of her and started squishing kneading at her massive breasts, with their rock hard nipples and their soft, supple flesh. He leaned in and started to suckle one of those black nipples, sucking and rubbing his tongue over it, every now and then giving a little nibble… Zecora’s moans and shudders told him that she absolutely loved it! As he pulled his head back, Zecora wrapped her arms around him to pull his head back down… right between the two squishy mounds of flesh. He let her embrace him, cooing sweet nothings and rubbing her hand down the back of his head, down his spine. The feeling of having his face shoved in those boobs… gave him a total wing boner. Huh… surprised I haven’t had one of those sooner… This time when he pulled back, there was no resistance. Instead, all he got was a loving smile. He leaned in again, scooting forward a bit, and turned that smile into a kiss. And that kiss led to one hot as hell make out session… hands groping asses… tits smashing up against abs… legs rubbing together… tongues intertwining… you get the picture. ~--~~--~~--~ After about another half hour, Scoot and Zecora came back out to find Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom, dressed and waiting. The floor had been cleaned, so that one would never know two ponies had fucked there, and all the ingredients Zecora had requested were piled neatly on a table. Zecora had cleaned herself off and redressed, though she had neglected to fix her messed up mane. Her alibi was that she had given Scoot a long hard talk about what she’d done wrong. It was obvious neither girl believed it, but Zecora didn’t seem at all bothered, and went right to work whipping up an antidote for Scoot. The three friends (at Zecora’s insistence) went outside to wait. “So, Scoots,” Sweetie Belle asked nonchalantly, “How was she?” “She was one big sex freak, that’s for sure!” he replied, still amazed at what he’d done. “Better than us?” Apple Bloom pouted playfully. “Oh come on, that’s not fair! She’s older than you! She’s had more experience! I can’t compare you girls to her!” Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom glanced at each other and grinned, then they both grabbed one of Scoot’s hands to drag him to the back of the hut. “Um… what’s going on?” he asked, suddenly nervous. “You said it yerself…” Apple Bloom began. “She’s older and has had more experience with sex,” Sweetie Belle continued. “Soooo…” “We’re both going to pleasure you at once!” the two fillies said in unison. Scoot gulped. Here we go again! Then he smiled despite himself. Best make the most of it… you’re going to turn back soon any way… The two friends quickly stripped once more, and began to rub their naked bodies together sexily. The effect on Scoot was almost immediate. “Damn, that cock can sure take a beating!” Apple Bloom commented as the rod became erect once more. “Well girls, are you gonna sit there and tease me or are you going to show me what you got?” And with that, both fillies pounced, knocking Scoot to the ground and pinning him there. They started by stroking his cock, each one wrapping a hand around it, gently giving him a dual handjob. They quickly began to pick up the pace, jerking him off in perfect synchronization. Right when Scoot began to feel a little pressure build up, they stopped… And bent down to place their budding breasts around it for a nice titty fuck! They began rubbing together, up and down. The sight and touch of those soft boobs made Scoot drool a little. Then, to help them pleasure each other too, they began alternating, with one going up while the other went down and vice versa. Each time their hardening nipples brushed up against each other, they both let out a sensual moan of pleasure. Scoot could feel the pressure building, but also knew that it could wait… more was to come before he could cum. The two got even closer to the cock for their finish… they brought their faces to it, and began to lick it, in the same fashion Apple Bloom had licked it earlier. Every now and then, when they both met at the top they’d stop and kiss, driving Scoot’s imagination and loins wild. And sometimes one of them would hit the head and take a second to suck it a little. Scoot could feel himself getting close, but held on… When his cock was good and wet, Scoot’s friends went back to the hand job, jerking him off faster and harder now that his prick was nice and lubed up from their tongues and cock kisses. Oh, wow these two are getting good! Heck, maybe we should try to find a talent like this… bet that’d be one sexy cutie mark… Hold on… Scoot heard something… a voice calling… calling her name… Who in Equestria could that be? Sounds really famil… oh… oh sweet, divine Celestia no! Not her… not NOW!! He desperately wanted to tell his friends to let him up so he could hide… but they had started stroking so hard… he… couldn’t hold it anymore! “Hey Scoots? You back here? Scootaloo?” Scoot wanted to cry… but all that came out was a gasp of relief and euphoria as a massive gush of cum burst into the faces of Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom. “Wow… that was amazing! So, we do better than Zecora that time? Scootaloo? What are you two staring a… ooohh…” All three stared, two of them feeling really guilty, the other like she was going to die of embarrassment, at the cyan-coated, rainbow-maned pegasus mare staring at them, eyes wide, mouth dropped. Her wings were spread as far as they could go, and beneath her favorite Wonderbolts T-shirt (which was a wee bit too small, but she didn’t care), they could see erect nipples. “S-S-Scootaloo!?” Scoots gulped, then managed a weak smile. “Hey… Rainbow Dash…” -~~--~~--~~- After Sweetie and Apple Bloom excused themselves (murmuring their apologies sadly), Rainbow Dash took a seat next to her… unofficial younger ‘sister’. “So uh… you look… good. Did something with your hair?” Rainbow Dash joked awkwardly. Scoot looked at Rainbow. Here was her idol… the pony she looked up to more than anypony else… here was the pony who had become like a big sister to her… and here HE was stuck as a stupid colt, literally caught with his pants down. And so, after a long, awkward pause, Scoots described everything that had happened… everything… Turning into a colt, fucking his friends, banging Zecora, and well… she saw that last bit for herself. Rainbow Dash sat there, listening intently. At times her wings began to stick out… and sometimes she blushed at a statement. But she listened and didn’t say a word until Scoot had finished. “Well… sounds like you’ve had a big day!” she commented at the end. Scoot just looked down sadly at his sheathed penis. “You don’t have to pretend anymore… I know… I know you probably don’t want to hang out with me…” Tears started coming to his eyes. “What?! Scoota… I mean, Scoots, what are you talking about? Of course I still wanna hang out! You’re still my awesome little sis… erm… bro. And don’t you ever doubt that! No matter what you look like, that will never change.” “Really?” Scoots sniffed, wiping away a tear. Rainbow Dash just smiled and pulled him into a hug. “Yeah, really. Just uh, y’know, don’t tell anypony about this, okay? I have a reputation to uphold, so I don’t want anypony hearing about any mushy stuff.” Scoot hugged back and nodded, just happy to have Dash with him. Then… something occurred to him… his face… was touching her boobs. At the thought, his wings launched up, startling Rainbow Dash and making Scoot blush furiously, turning almost as red as Big Macintosh. Scoot now started to look at Rainbow’s body from a colt’s perspective… he had heard many a stallion and colt say they’d like to bang her… and now he could see why. She had big, firm C-cups, a nicely toned ass… she looked fit without looking like some muscle-bound freak. In other words, to Scoot… she was perfect… even hotter than Zecora. He saw her eyes go wide and her own wings go boner mode again. When he looked down, he saw why. His lust for his hero and his perverted thoughts woke up his sleeping beast… now that not-so-little friend on his groin was growing big and hard once more. So… she’s starting to look at me from a mare’s point of view… He wasn’t sure whether to be pleased or worried. Rainbow Dash slowly walked over until she stood right in front of him. They both stared at each other… and then Rainbow threw herself onto him, kissing him full on the mouth. Scoot was shocked… but thrilled at the same time. I’M GOING TO FUCK WITH RAINBOW DASH!!! She broke the kiss and smiled. “Hey… how about we take this someplace… private? Don’t want anypony trotting in on us, do we?” Scoots blushed at her statement. “Where do you have in miiiiiiiiiii-” Before he could finish talking, Rainbow Dash had hooked her arms under his arm pits and taken off at full throttle, launching them both high in the sky. ~--~~--~~--~ Within moments, the two were standing on a large cloud overlooking Everfree. At Rainbow’s touch, the cloud ceased moving, guaranteeing that it wouldn’t drift off like the forest’s clouds normally do. Rainbow Dash immediately tossing something to Scoot from out of her pocket before undressing. Scoots was surprised to find that it was a condom. She must have seen the look on his face, because not a minute passed before she stated very tersely, “I am NOT getting pregnant today. Either you put it on, or I’m taking you back down and you can forget about doing anything sexy with me.” Scoot decided not to question why she happened to have a condom just yet, and began to put it over his dick obediently. Soon they were both ready. Rainbow Dash laid back on the plush cloud and spread her legs wide. Scoot was surprised that Dash was so willing to start out with him being the dominant one, but smiled and brought himself over to her all the same. He got on top and started squeezing her breasts, rubbing his cock against her wet loins. “Skip the foreplay and bang me already!” Rainbow insisted. Scoots momentarily became disheartened at her scolding, but rebounded and obliged her demands. He took his throbbing length and shoved it into her sex-hungry pussy, receiving a satisfying gasp of pleasure for his efforts. Slowly and surely, he began to pump. Not ten seconds had passed before her vagina sprayed out its juices onto his thrusting penis. Fast in the sky, fast in the bed, it would seem… He kept going none-the-less; he wouldn’t stop until either he came to, or she told him to stop. The panting and moaning he heard her make told him that the former would be the case. He was starting to hit a good pace, and he let out his own moan as he felt the walls of her vagina squeezing and convulsing around his cock. He felt the need to cum rising… he started fucking faster and harder, making Rainbow Dash’s boobs bounce a little with each hard thrust. “Scoo… Scoo-ta-loo-ooo-oo!” Rainbow Dash panted. “St-stop!” Scoot obeyed, despite his confusion and disappointment. Had he done something wrong? Rainbow Dash yanked herself off of him, ripped off his condom, flung it away, and shoved him onto his back. She then fell upon the pleasantly surprised Scoots and started to blow him… As she licked and sucked so hard he felt his penis just might pop off, he thought to himself, Holy cow! She’s even hungrier than Apple Bloom was! As she worked his cock, he felt the pressure, the need to release his cum, reaching the breaking point. He wanted to warn her… but he also wanted her to taste him, to take that cum in her mouth… He smiled perversely as he let go, sending a stream of his hot seed into her horny mouth. When he finished, she pulled back and swallowed, then smiled at him. “Sorry ‘bout shoving you… but you were taking too long to cum so… I thought I’d speed things up a bit!” Scoots smiled back. “That’s fine by me. Although… That means I didn’t get to finish you off… you only came once… sooo…” Rainbow Dash got back up and gave him a curious look. “So what?” To answer, Scoot pounced on her, making her let out a surprised yelp as he started eagerly licking her honey pot. Yes! Finally, I get to eat a mare out! And it’s Rainbow Dash! Heheheh… I get to taste the Rainbow! Sweet, sweet mare honey gushed into his mouth and his tongue brushed up against her clit. He kept going, thrusting his tongue into her pussy like he had done with his cock, then started squirming it around inside, making her entire body shudder gleefully. -~~--~~--~~- She came three more times before he decided he was finished. By then, his face was coated in mare cum and his tongue felt just a little sore. But… for his valiant efforts, he received a massive smooch from Rainbow Dash. The stood there on that cloud for a few minutes, making out and groping, just simply loving on each other. When they finished, Rainbow Dash quickly redressed before grabbing Scoots to fly him back down. As they landed in Zecora’s back garden, a few… questions came to Scoot’s mind. “Hey Rainbow?” “Yes, stud muffin? Uh, I mean Scootaloo?” Rainbow Dash blushed bright red at her little… slip of the tongue… “Um… Why were you looking for me today? I mean not that I mind, but… you know…” “Oh… alright well… you see I… kinda… broke up with my boyfriend today… thought hanging out with you would… help get it out of my mind…” “Oh… why’d you break up?” “Well… I was going to his house to… do what we just did. And, I found him in the shower…” “Uh huh…” “With another mare…” “Oh.” “And her mother…” “Oooh… wow… that’s um… wow…” “Yeah… I know right?” “Well… at least he kept it in the family!” Scoots joked lamely. “Oh, shut up you!” Rainbow responded, tossing in a friendly punch to the shoulder to emphasize her point. “So… that’s why you had that…” “Yes.” “Huh. Okay. Well then, glad I could help!” Rainbow smiled and tussled Scoot’s hair. “No prob! Oh, and you ever wanna fuck like that again? Then I’m game!” Scoot laughed… then frowned as something occurred to him. “Actually… I’m not gonna be a colt much longer… Zecora should be finished with that antidote soon… I’ll be back to a filly…” While he knew he should be glad to be turning back to normal… he couldn’t help but feel a bit downtrodden at the thought. Rainbow Dash kissed his cheek and said, “Well… doesn’t mean we can’t still have a little fun every now and then! To tell you the truth, I’ve always wanted to try filly-fooling! And there’s no filly I’d rather fool with than you.” “Really?” “You know it!” They began to cuddle together, when Zecora’s voice shouted out from the hut. “Young Scootaloo? I’m ready for you!” Scoots excused himself and rushed inside. Me and Rainbow Dash? Fucking… filly fool style?! AWESOME!! ~--~~--~~--~ Inside the hut was Zecora, hard at work filling vials with the bubbling concoction in her cauldron. Scoot noticed that on each vial was a label that looked like the opposite of the one she had taken. Nearby stood Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom, both looking a bit guilty from embarrassing him in front of his idol. He smiled and gave them a friendly wave to show that all was well, and it was obvious that this relieved them greatly. “Ah, boy Scootaloo. Come, sip from my brew. If you wish to change from he to her, then drink this to become what you once were.” As she handed him a vial, he couldn’t help reflect on what he’d done with this new body. He had become even closer to his best friends and his life-long hero, in a way that would stay with him forever, AND he had nailed the mare that many stallions lusted after but never got. All in all, it had been quite a run, and he was gonna miss it. But even after all this… this body just felt… wrong. A small part of his mind remained female, and this part wanted to be normal again. And so, with a sad smile on his face, he swigged down the potion. He immediately felt the effects. A cold rush flooded him, making his legs collapse beneath him. He coughed and sputtered… and could hear his voice going up in pitch. He could feel things shrinking… and other things growing! When it was done… Scootaloo sat back and sighed in relief. Finally! Back to being a filly! However… something felt… off. She couldn’t quite put her finger on it but… She heard a collection of gasps. What? What’s going on? She opened her eyes and looked around. Zecora… Sweetie… Bloom… Dash (When’d she come in?)… all were staring at her, mouths dropped. Scootaloo looked down at herself… The first thing she noticed was that she was notably curvier than before. I don’t remember my tits being that big… Heck, I’m about as big as Dash now! Then… she noticed something else… She had an old friend poking his head out of her crotch. I still have a cock… I’m a herm… a futa… whoa… It was a bit smaller than before, more proportionate to her age now, but yes, she had a cock, resting directly above her filly-hood. Zecora was the first to speak. “It would seem I received the wrong ingredients from young Apple Bloom. It is very lucky for you that this did not spell your doom.” She sighed, and began making adjustments to the large collection of vials she had just finished filling and labeling. “Well… it looks like maybe we could still fuck after all!” Rainbow Dash said with a laugh. Scootaloo smiled adoringly at her. Then a thought came to her. She smiled slyly, and turned to her still shocked friends (even more surprised now that they knew she had done it with Dash). “Hey girls,” she called out to them. “I think I just thought of another thing we could try…” -~~--~~--~~- The three friends walked back to town… with notably sexy figures, and slight bulges in their pants. “Cutie Mark Crusader Porn Stars? Are ya’ll sure about this Scootaloo?” “Trust me, after all that, I think we’ve got it covered already.” “But uh, don’t you need to be… you know… eighteen for that… because it’s, well, illegal otherwise? You know, child pornography.” Scootaloo rolled her eyes. “Look, all that means is we got three years to practice before we hit the industry by storm! Just trust me on this! It’ll be fun!” Sweetie Belle pouted as she said, “Trust you… like how we were supposed to trust you when you wanted us to try that ‘age potion?’ Because we all know how that turned out…” “Ugh! Do you always have to be so negative? Look, this is different! We already know we’re good at this!” “She’s got a point, Sweetie. We have been doin’ quite a lotta fuckin’ today!” “Yeah… yeah okay. You guys are right. Let’s do this! One… two… three…” On three, they all shouted, “CUTIE MARK CRUSADER PORN STARS!!!” And with that, they wrapped their arms around each other’s shoulders and laughed on their way back to Ponyville. And all was good. > Dashie Gets Applebucked > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was a beautiful day in Ponyville. The birds were singing, Celestia's sun was shining brightly, and there wasn't a single cloud in the sky! Well... actually, there was exactly ONE cloud in the sky. A small, fluffy white one. What was it doing here on what was supposed to be a clear day? Why, it was serving as the napping place of the captain of the weather team and self-proclaimed best flier in Equestria, Rainbow Dash! Yes, the rainbow-maned pegasus had been working hard to clear the sky that day, and so had felt that it would be alright to leave one cloud to rest on, at least until she was done with it. With a yawn, she peeked open an eye to glance at the sun's position, hoping to catch the time. "Huh. About... two, I guess. Alright." She closed her eye and smiled to herself. And then her eyes snapped open as it hit her. "Two!? Damn it, I'm gonna be late!!" With that, she jumped up and dashed off so fast that the poor little cloud was violently blown to bits. Oh shit oh fuck oh shit oh fuck oh fit oh shuck oh... wait what? She flew straight for Sweet Apple Acres, as fast as her wings would take her without getting too close to the sound barrier (she was STILL getting complaints about the last time she Rainboomed in public). Too late, she realized that she was coming in too fast, and desperately tried to slow... She collided with the branches of a large apple tree. As she attempted to untangle herself, a familiar-looking orange Earth pony trotted up, shaking her head with a smile. "RD, yer gonna have to stop droppin' in like this." "Yeah yeah..." Rainbow muttered as she finally freed herself from the oppression of the tree's branches. "Whatever you say, Applejack. So, uh, is-" Applejack laughed and shook her head. "Yeah, he's here. Reckon yer just in time, too. He's almost done with his chores. Thought that ya'll would be late again, didn't ya?" The pegasus blushed and mumbled something along the lines of "Don't you have trees to buck or something?" Applejack let out another chuckle as she tipped her stetson to Rainbow Dash and went back to work. "Just don't bug him until after he's done with his chores, ya hear?" "Yeah yeah, whatever you say mom," Rainbow responded sarcastically. Then her face turned cheerful. Nothing, and she meant NOTHING, could keep her in a bad mood long when she was about to see her favorite stallion. With that in mind, she trotted off in search of said stallion. Big Macintosh trotted along, a large wagon filled with buckets of apples strapped to his back. It was the last load, and while he was eager to finish, he also was eager to not screw this up. He shuddered as he remembered the last time he had dropped the load... oh, Hell had NO fury like a pissed off Applejack... He reached the apple cellar and began carefully moving the buckets down, putting them away monotonously, until finally the last one was placed and he could relax a bit. As he pulled the wagon back to the barn, he couldn't help but wonder... where in Celestia's name was- Suddenly, everything went dark as a pair of hooves covered his eyes. "Guess who, big guy!" He chuckled and decided to play along. "Lemme see... is it... Miss Twilight?" "Nope," the voice said, mimicking his own. "Is it... Miss Bon Bon?" "Nope!" "Iiiss iiiit... Miss Ditzy Do? 'Cause it sure sounds like her." "Nnnnope!" "Alright... then there's only one filly Ah know it could be. Is it... Rainbow Dash?" "Eeyup!" Rainbow said as she took her hooves off of his eyes to wrap him in a loving hug. "And whadaya mean I sound like Derpy?" Mac just chuckled again. "Ah was just messin' with ya'll, darlin'. Ya'll know that." Rainbow pulled back and flew around to face him, smiling widely. "Oh, you. So, done with those chores so that we can... y'know... have some fun?" Rainbow half-lidded her eyes and gave him a seductive grin, making him blush (hard to imagine his face getting redder than it already is, isn't it?). "Just gotta put the wagon away, Dashie. Then we can play." As matter of fact as always, that Macintosh. As he got the straps off of his sides, Rainbow thought back fondly over their relationship. They'd only been dating for about four weeks. And yet... it felt liked they'd been together for years. She couldn't help but chuckle at the memory of how he had bashfully asked her out. She accepted, on the condition that he beat her in a hoof race first. He agreed to it, and the set off right then and there. Rainbow let him win. She just wanted to see how dedicated to her he really was. And to be honest... she had had a crush on him for a while too. And now here they were, getting ready to have a little private time. It had only been a week ago they decided to take it up a notch, and neither regretted it. A few contraceptive herbs from Zecora, and they were good to go! Speaking of which... Rainbow took off her saddle bag and got out her dosage of the bitter herbs. She grimaced a bit as she chewed and swallowed them, but knew they were worth it in the end. Turning back to her lover, she saw him finishing his own dose. One for either of them should have been fine, but Zecora had insisted that they both take it, just in case. He noticed her looking and grinned. "Ya'll ready?" "You know it, hot stuff!" she exclaimed as she flew down to join him. And now, side by side, they trotted out back to a secluded little space in the woods... just right for what they planned. The clearing they had been going to wasn't very large... to be honest, it looked like it was slightly smaller in width than the Apple family's barn. But, it was perfect for two ponies to get away from it all and be with nothing but each other. The lack of tree cover made the sun shine beautifully onto the little glade. And they knew they'd be safe from predators such as timber wolves and manticores... Zecora had shown them how to ward them off by planting small mushrooms she called 'Beast's Bane', which let out a scent that disgusted carnivores, around the forest's edge. Even still, they preferred to do this during the day, just in case. As they stepped into the clearing, they couldn't help but glance and blush at each other. Macintosh couldn't stop thinking about how cute Dash looked. Dash kept on marveling at how handsome Mac was. And in a moment... both would be wondering how they ended up with somepony so unbelievably hot! They sat together in the middle of the clearing, at first, just resting in each others embrace. Then, Dash leaned in for a kiss, Macintosh meeting her halfway. What started as a simple kiss soon escalated. They started running their hooves through the others mane. They kissed with more passion and intensity, exploring their lover's mouth with their tongues. Their bodies began to rub together. Dash's wings shot upright as Big Mac's hoof brushed against her rear. And 'little Big Macintosh' got excited by Rainbow's moans and grinding hips. Rainbow broke the kiss to push Big Mac onto his back, as usual. She loved bouncing herself on that hard cock of his, and knew he loved it too. So... you can imagine her surprise when her coltfriend hesitantly asked her, "Actually Rainbow... do ya'll mind if we try somethin'... different?" Rainbow just sort of stared at him for a brief moment before responding with a confused, "What do you mean? I... I mean I know what you mean, I guess, but... um... what do you... have in mind?" She was holding back. She had wanted to start complaining, thinking that what he meant was that she wasn't doing a good job at what she did to him. But no, she would wait, see what he had to say. He deserved that, not a reminder of her short temper. "Well... I... I was kinda hopin' that... maybe... we could try... anal..." "What was that? Speak up a bit this time." "I wanted to try... anal..." "I swear, Mac, sometimes you're as bad as Fluttershy. Spit it out already!" "I want to try anal!" he finally exclaimed, immediately blushing at his outburst. Rainbow just stared at him. A deep blush took her face. Her eye twitched a bit. "You... want to do... anal? With me?" "Ee-eeyup," Mac nervously confirmed. "You mean you want me to let you take your cock... and shove it up my ass?" "Er... eeyup." "..." "Now, Rainbow, Ah ju-" "No. Just... just no!" Rainbow Dash pulled away from him with a suddenly indignant look on her face. "But Dashie, Ah-" "NO! You bucking know how I feel about that shit! It's degrading and I will NOT do it." With that, she turned and crossed her fore limbs, suddenly not in the mood for Big Macintosh's cock. "Why the hell would you even think about that? Why the hell would you think I would be okay with that!?" Mac just sat quietly for a moment, his expression full of hurt and sadness. Then, with a low sigh, he mumbled, just loud enough for Rainbow Dash to hear. "Ah just wanted to be in charge for once... Ah just... every time we do this, ya'll're on top, ya'll're buckin' me. Ah'd be fine if it'd be equal, but it's always all 'bout ya'll. Ah... Ah just wanted to feel like a stallion instead of... instead of your livin' dildo..." Rainbow turned to look at him, mouth dropped, eyes staring wide. I... I had no idea... I didn't know he felt like that... Mac... Oh, Mac! Tears almost started welling up in her eyes, but she forced them back down. Then she noticed Big Macintosh getting up to leave. "H-Hey now! There's no need to go! We- we can still-" "Nope." "Oh, c'mon Mac! You can't just... please, give me another chance, I'll make it-" "Nope." "Okay enough with the interruptions and one-word answers, please I didn't mean to-" "Ya'll've had your say. So... good day, Rainbow Dash." "But-" "Ah said, good day!" And with that... the red, heart-broken stallion was gone, leaving behind one lonely blue pegasus mare. What have I done? Later that evening... "I... I just can't believe... I can't believe I did that to him! I... I just feel like such a jerk! Do you know what I'm saying?" Rainbow Dash sat in her cloud home, confiding to the only living being that she felt could give the understanding and wisdom she needed right now. Tank stared up at her and blinked slowly. "I know, I'm sorry, it's just... well, he's a great guy, and I really like him. Heck... I... I think I might even love him. But... anal?" Tank gurgled a little. "Yeah, you have a point... if I really love him, I've gotta learn to compromise." Tank grinned at her. "I mean, it is my own fault in the first place... maybe I did get a little carried away with the whole 'dominance' thing..." Tank's head bobbed a bit. "You know what? You're right! I'm gonna go right now and make it up to him! Even..." she let slip a small, nervous gulp, "Even if that means letting him... butt fuck me..." Tank blinked again. "Thanks Tank!" Rainbow said as she pulled her beloved pet tortoise close for a hug. "Knew you wouldn't let me down bud!" And before Tank could even do something for her to interpret as "Good luck!", she was off for Sweet Apple Acres. Big Macintosh slumped into his room, ready to hit the hay. It had been a long and disappointing day, and he was ready for it to be over with. He felt a little bad about how he'd treated Rainbow earlier, but... Celestia damn it, would it kill that mare to think of how he felt even a little? He sighed, knowing there was nothing to do about it. Dash had made her feelings very clear to him. Right now, he felt that it would be best for them to spend a little less time with each other, until they could both cool down a little... He turned out his light, climbed into bed wearily, and had just closed his eyes... when there came a tapping at his window. He sat there and pretended to be asleep... he really wasn't in the mood for this right now... but whoever it was kept on tapping, louder each time. Finally, he got up and fixed whoever was outside a harsh glare. And his expression softened the moment he saw the look on Rainbow Dash's face. It was... regretful, sad, apologetic... it was hard to exactly pin down what it was about that face, but he just knew that whatever it was, it was important and couldn't wait. And so, trying his best to keep his composure (part of him was still mad... and another part was panicking, wondering what was wrong...), he got out of bed and opened the window for Dash. "What're ya'll doin' here Dash?" Rainbow winced a little when he didn't use his pet name for her... she kinds thought it was cute... but she quietly entered the room. "I... I wanted to apologize. About earlier." Mac raised an eyebrow. "Ah'm listenin'." Rainbow took a deep breath, then began. "Big Mac... I... I'm sorry about everything. About... me... I never realized how much that sort of thing meant to you. I... I was just being selfish is all. I l-.... I luh-... I love you, okay? And the way I've been treating hasn't shown it! So please, let me make it up to you." Big Mac just stood and stared, almost unable to believe what he'd just heard. Rainbow Dash? Admitting she was wrong? Admitting that she loved him!? Mac fought the urge to smile at this... he wasn't quite ready to forgive her yet. "So, what did ya'll have in mind. Fer makin' it up t'me an' all that." Rainbow looked him in the eye, put on a serious expression, and stated very plainly, "You. Me. Glade. Now. Buttsex. That sum it up?" By the time the two reached their private little glade, Luna's moon had risen enough to shine its light down upon them, illuminating the small forest clearing. It was a beautiful sight... but it wasn't what they came for. "Are ya'll sure?" "Dude, really? YOU'RE the one who wanted this so badly, and now that I'm for it you have second thoughts? I'm sure, now let's do it!" "Okay... so uh..." "... You have no idea what you're doing, do you?" "Well uh... Ah guess... we need t'get my rod... wet... so uh..." "Okay, Mac, you are REALLY cute when you're like this, but please... ugh... we need to lube up your cock, so I'm going to have to give you a blow-job and get it nice and wet. Alright?" Before he could respond, she had him on his back, and was licking up and down the length of his stiff stallion-hood. He let out a grunt as she quickly began mouthing the flared head, quickly moving down to suck him off. Damn! She's either really excited... or she really wants to get this over with... bettin' on the second one... Still, though, the rapid pumping was turning him on... she was being quite rough about it, and was being sure to lick all over him as she took his dick in her mouth. Soon his cock was at full length, hard as can be, and wet all over from the pegasus' sudden rapid blow-job. Satisfied with her work, she stopped sucking and turned, lifting her flank in the air and giving it a little shake. "Well, c'mon big guy, show me what ya got!" Hesitating only a moment at her apparent eagerness, Mac soon obliged, raising up behind her and quickly attempting to force his massive, saliva-coated equine cock into her tight, virgin anus. Rainbow let out a gasp of pain and pleasure as she felt her ass being penetrated. It hurt, it felt foreign and wrong... And she loved it! Big Macintosh stopped, concerned, and began to retreat, fearing he'd hurt her, that this was a bad idea. "What... the hell do... you think... you're doing? Get that amazing dick of yours back in there!" "But Dashie Ah don't-" "Oh no you don't! You wanted to be the dominant one, now finish what you bucking started! Fuck my brains out, make me yours! I want it! I want your big, hard cock all the way up my butt! Now!" Surprised at her outburst and afraid of what would happen if he refused, he quickly began thrusting his hips, forcing himself deeper into her with each shove. Her screams of ecstasy proved to him that he was on the right course, so he doubled his efforts, going harder and harder with each passing minute. Words could not describe how they both felt. For Big Macintosh, it was a long time fantasy come true. He was on top for once, making his mare cry out in a state of lust as he pleasured her. For Rainbow, it was something she'd never thought of... being knocked down a peg, being disgraced and defiled by somepony she loved... and that made it all the more hot for her! Oh Celestia, he's tearing me apart! Fuck... yes!!! Oh Luna damn it, she's tight! Listen to her moan and scream... Fuck, I think I'm gettin' close! "Rainbow, Ah'm-" "I-I know... I am too! I want it! Don't you dare pull out until I'm done!!" Grunting in understanding, he kept pumping himself on her, just listening her moan and scream like a little slut. Honestly, he didn't really want her like this... but he had to admit there was something primal... instinctual... that made this alright with him. He wanted her, he wanted her to be his, he wanted to make sure she knew that she was his! Rainbow panted as she felt her pussy tightening up and moisten, and she let out an almost deranged cry of "MAC!!!" as she felt herself cumming, letting loose a spray of sweet sex juices onto the grass. "P-pull out... f-finish it... I want to be your bitch! Cum on me, cover me in it all! Pull out now, or I will never forgive you!!" Mac didn't need to be told twice. He immediately forced his way out of her, and let loose the massive load he'd been trying to hold in, shouting out his lover's name as he did so. His thick, white semen burst out, coating her in its hot, sticky embrace. She had cum in her wings, cum in her hair, and while he was still going she flipped over to give him a few shots at her flushed, horny face. Her tongue lolled out and she let a moan as she felt herself let loose more mare-cum. It was just... so... HOT! They both flopped down on the sex-juice soaked grass, panting and wet with sweat, semen, and mare-honey. After a moment, they turned to face each other, staring into each others eyes, and in that moment they both knew that they had something wonderful, something worth making sacrifices for, something worth fighting for. They shared a smile, then kissed under the soft light of the midnight moon. Things were good... And as they broke their kiss, there was only one thing said... by both of them, at the same time. "Ready for Round Two?" > Reflected Interest > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spike the dragon, the noble yet witty companion to the glorious Princess Twilight Sparkle and the savior of the Crystal Empire, was bored out of his young draconic mind. Why, you may ask? It's simple, really. He had been left alone in his home, Golden Oaks Library, with a list of chores that needed to be done before Twilight got back from her research in the Canterlot Archives. A very very long list of the most boring chores he could think of. Sweeping, dusting, shelving, re-shelving, dusting again, cataloging, alphabetizing... you get the picture. It wasn't that though; he could get all of that done in almost no time. Heck, he'd already finished most of it, just had another round of dusting to get done and then triple-check the catalog and he'd be done. No, what really got him down was the knowledge that even if he finished his chores right away, he'd have nothing to do. Rarity was away at some fashion show, so he couldn't bask in her glory. He couldn't hang out with the Cutie Mark Crusaders because they were on a field trip. He had nothing to do. Sighing to himself, he lifted himself off of his seat on the couch and decided that he might as well get back to dusting. All he could hope was that something would come up to relieve this immense boredom. At this point, a Changeling invasion would have been a welcome change of pace for the young drake... Spike groaned to himself. He had just finished the last of the chores when it hit him like a well-aimed kick from a pissed-off Big Macintosh: he had forgotten to clean The Mirror. Not just any mirror; The Mirror. That mysterious relic Twilight had found in the deepest parts of the abandoned castle deep within the Everfree Forest. The very item Twilight had rushed off to Canterlot to research, in order to get a better understanding of its currently unknown magical properties. The Mirror that was still coated in so much dirt and grime that you probably wouldn't even know it was a mirror at first glance. Yay... Spike made his way to the basement laboratory, grumbling to himself, duster in claw as he descended the stairs. There it was in the far corner: tall and somewhat imposing, with an ornate frame and utterly filthy glass. "Well, Spike old boy, better get this over with..." he mumbled to himself, resigned to his boring and likely frustrating fate. As he scrubbed and dusted off the glass, revealing some of its shining features, he noticed there was something off about the reflection. He couldn't quite put his claw on it, but... well, he had cleaning to do, no time to worry about that just yet. "Mind's probably playing tricks on me..." he sighed. He looked around, swearing he'd heard a faint voice just then. Damn I hate this basement! Always freaks me out... After about half an hour of intense cleaning, The Mirror finally had some shine back in it. Satisfied with it for the time being, he decided to use the moment to do one of his favorite past-times: posing. As he looked himself over, flexing and grinning, he realized what was so odd about the mirror: it was inverted. Unlike normal mirrors, when he raised his right hand, the reflection raised it's right hand. He decided to test it further. After finding a piece of paper lying around, he held it up to the mirror to display the writing on it. Sure enough, instead of being backwards, the words in the reflection were still normal. "Huh... weird..." he said before looking around, eye's wide. He was sure he had heard someone speaking at the exact same moment as him. It was clearer now, but still a bit muffled. "Is someone there? Who is that? Quit messing with me!" Each word he spoke was echoed in perfect sync by the strange voice. Finally, he looked to The Mirror, and his reflection looked back. "Is that you? Are you talking?" both Spike and the reflection asked. Sure enough, the sound was somehow coming through The Mirror. Spike and his reflection stared at each other for a moment. Then they both stepped forward. Then they both stepped back. Then to one side, then the other. After doing this and several other meaningless gestures, Spike finally got up close to this mirror image and, after a brief pause, placed his hand against the glass as his reflection did the same. He first felt cold glass in his palm... and then a brief second later, his hand sunk into the glass, coming into contact with something warm, scaly, and very much alive. Instead of jumping back in fear like most would, Spike let out a loud "Ah-HA!" and locked grips with his reflection as the Mirror-Spike did the same. The two locked into a battle of strength, both trying to bring the other onto their side. Spike shuddered as his arms briefly phased through the glass, then retaliated, bringing a similar reaction from his counterpart. Finally, with a well-timed tug, Spike sent his doppelganger tumbling out onto him. "Gotcha!" he shouted, this time not receiving a response. "Yeah, you got me, faker. Big deal!" the other Spike replied after a moment. Then both blinked at each other in confusion. Their voices were... different. The mirror-image had a slightly higher pitched voice. Out of curiosity, both dragons sniffed at the other. Spike's eyes widened as he recognized the scent... of a female dragon. And judging from her eyes, she'd just found the opposite for him. "Wow... so that's what I'd look like..." both mumbled in awe, staring awkwardly at each other. Spike blushed as he realized something. "Um... could you please... uh... get off of me?" "Oh, uh... yeah, sure..." the young dragoness stammered as she pulled away from him, letting him up. "Um... I'm Spines, by the way." "I'm Spike. Wow... so... we're really the same dragon, only..." he trailed off... ... only to be continued by Spines. "... different genders. Yeah... looks like it." Spike looked over his female self. She was slightly shorter and slimmer than Spike, though she still seemed a bit pudgy to him. The spines running over the back of her head were smoother than Spike's, and he noted that her face had only slightly more feminine features. Then his gaze drifted down... and he saw her slit. Her vagina, her pussy, her sex organs, her privates, her... He mentally slapped himself out of it. He blushed at the thoughts that had run though his head. He had seen pictures of dragon 'parts' before in an anatomy book Twilight had let him read once, but this was the first time seeing one for himself, in the flesh. Too late, he realized that he was getting... excited. Out of his own crotch, slipping through a slit of his own, came his penis. Not that long, but average for a drake his age. He blanked at that moment. His cock was showing itself to a girl! Usually he was able to keep it down but... Spike rapidly tried to think of something to say, something to cover him and make this less painfully awkward. Thankfully, Spines did it for him. "Wow... so that's... what that looks like. Neat." "Uh... yeah. Neat... so wow, a whole other world where everyone's a different gender, how about that, right?" he lamely asked, desperate to change the subject. "Yeah... oh my Celestia, Dusk is totally gonna flip when he finds this out! I mean, a whole other world, just a mirror away! Oh... wow, Dusk and Elusive would be mares here... wow... that's... weird to think about..." "Yeah... not sure if I'd want to see Twilight and Rarity as colts... doubt they'd be as pretty as you!" Spike froze as he realized what came out of his mouth. Shoot! I meant to say mine, just say that and fix this oh crap oh crap oh... "You really think I'm pretty?" Spines blurted out, blushing fiercely all of a sudden. "Uh... yeah. You are. I've never seen a dragon as pretty as you before." (Hey, it was the truth. He's literally never seen a dragoness before now). Spines shuffled her feet and smiled. "Well, I've never seen a dragon as cute as you before." She suddenly froze, apparently just realizing what she'd said. "Wow... thanks!" "Uh... no problem!" For a moment, they both stood there, blushing and avoiding eye contact. Spike suddenly wanted to get closer to this girl, even if she was him. He wanted to, but he... "Hey, uh, Spike! I've got an idea that will make our Du-... I mean... our alicorn friends happy! Let's um... let's... experiment? Explore each other? Just uh, just to see the differences of course!" "Wha-... Oh! Oh yeah, that's a great idea! Yeah, let's uh, let's do that!" Both dragons, nervous yet intent on seeing this through, came up to one another. "So uh..." Spike stammered, "I just... uh... put it in?" "Um... I... guess so... yeah..." The two anxious young dragons got together, with Spike's erection pointing to Spine's slightly dampened slit (she'd be lying if she said she didn't get just as turned on as Spike did). "Alright... here I go then!" With that, Spike worked up his courage and slid his reptilian prick into her folds, eliciting a slight gasp from them both. Neither had ever had sex before, so this was a first, a new feeling for the two counterparts. Spike unsure of himself, started to pull out... but at the feeling, and the way Spine moaned at that, he got the idea, and slid back in. Gently and slowly, he slid his cock back and forth inside her, the damp, hot, tightness feeling amazing against the sensitive organ. Oh goddesses... so that's what its like! Spine's moans grew in intensity as his gentle thrusts found a nice rhythm. "Oooh, Spike... yes..." Spike grunted, picking up the pace slightly. He still wasn't sure what he was doing, but whatever it was, he must have been doing it right for it to feel this good. Suddenly, a gush of hot liquid flooded around his cock. Before he could ask, Spines let out a sigh. "Wow... so that's what an... uh... an orgi... an orgus... so that's what cumming feels like... wow..." He wasn't quite sure whether to keep going or not, but he could feel a slight pressure building up inside him. Figuring that he should try to... cum... too, he resumed his gentle thrusts, much to Spines delight. "Oh yeah! Again!" She let out another pleasured moan as he fucked her just a little harder, in hopes of getting himself off. "C'mon... you got this..." he grumbled to himself, pushing a little farther, but still not wanting to go too far in any way. He could feel that pressure rising, and the sound of Spines moaning helped drive it on. He pushed on, quickening his tempo a bit and going a little harder, bringing pleasant reactions from his partner. "Oh Spike! I-I'm gonna... I'm gonna... I-" She came over his cock for the second time. Spike didn't stop this time. He was so close himself, he knew it. He just had to finish. He wanted to know what it felt like too! He could feel the hot folds of her pussy clenching as she came, as if it were trying to milk him and get him to cum too. Finally, he felt it rising. He felt himself about to blow. And that's when he remembered what he'd read about stallions and mares... and he pulled out, terrified of releasing into her. Hot, draconic seed burst forth from his little friend, splattering onto the floor, onto himself, but mostly onto Spines. Spike felt... amazing. Never before had he been through anything so breath-taking, so intense. Needless to say, he loved it! He looked to Spines and blushed at how dirty he'd gotten her. "Oh... uh, hey, you want to use the bath? Think you'd need it more than me right now..." "Yeah..." she responded with a light chuckle, "That'd be great..." After getting Spines clean of all cum and the area in front of the mirror cleared up, the two dragons pulled together for an embrace. They hugged, and Spike briefly considered kissing Spines... but decided against it. For now. "I'll see you again, right?" he asked, slightly sad to see her go. "You know it, big guy! And next time, it'll be on my side!" After pulling apart, Spines went up to The Mirror and pushed through, the glass warping around her as she traveled back home. Spike went up to it after her, and the two waved to one another, smiling at their new found friend. Spike and Spines both put the finishing touches to their side of The Mirror, cleaning away the last of the grime to give way to a clean shine. With that, their work was done, and all they had to do was part ways. Twilight (and Dusk) would be home soon. And chances were they'd want to see the mirror for themselves. So with a sad parting wave, the two left their basements, vanishing from the view of each other. Sure enough, about half an hour later, a gruff, tired, and decidedly ungroomed Princess soon trotted into the library, grunting a greeting to Spike. "I'm turning in early Spike. I may have spent too much time researching, and I couldn't catch any sleep on the way here. If there's anything going on, tell me in the morning. I don't want to deal with it right now..." Spike blinked, opened his mouth to speak, then promptly shut it. It was best not to bug Twilight when she got like this. So, he let it be. Besides, maybe it would be best to keep that a secret for now... no telling how she'd react to hearing he had gotten laid with... well, 'himself'. Probably best to let her see The Mirror for herself. Spike groaned into his hands. Things had been looking so well. He had become friends-with-benefits with a female version of himself that, to be honest, he thought he might be in love with, and now this. When Twilight had gone down to examine the mirror, it had been just ordinary, reflective glass. No portal, no Prince Dusk Shine, and no hint of magic at all. It was then that she shared what she'd learned from those days of research. "The mirror is a portal, much like the other mirror in the Crystal Empire. Only this one leads to a completely different world. I couldn't gather much about it from the texts, but from what I can tell it's much more similar to our own than that. Unfortunately, there's a catch. Instead of working in a cycle like the Human world mirror, opening every thirty moons, this mirror opens and stays open until somepony has crossed from one side to the other and back. After that, it shuts down for ten years to recharge on the ambient magic in the general area. A much less efficient design if you ask me. At least the Human mirror was scheduled. Ah well, in any case it seems the mirror's lost its magic with time. It didn't react at all to my presence. Well, it's still a nice mirror. Might as well keep it as a memento, right Spike? Twilight had left to catch up with her friends, leaving Spike to think. He wouldn't see Spines again. He'd never be able to fulfill that promise to see her again on her side of the mirror. No... that's not true... He pounded his fist into his hand, suddenly determined. That portal opens in another ten years? Fine. I can wait until then. Dragons live long lives. We'll both still be around by then. We will see each other again. No matter what. Ten years later... Spike the dragon, current owner of Golden Oaks Library (Twilight had to move to a kingdom of her own about three years ago. Celestia's orders) and closest friend to Princess Twilight Sparkle, unfurled from his bed with a yawn. Ten years had been good to him. Gone was the chubby little baby dragon, now replaced by a lithe teenager, notably larger than the average stallion, with a faint trace of hardened muscle beneath his armor-like scales. He had no wings (apparently he was a wingless variety) but he didn't mind. He made up for it well enough with his strength and looks. As he'd grown older, many of the young (and some of the more mature as well) mares around Ponyville began to pay more attention to him, wanting to feel the strong embrace of the tame, intelligent dragon. And with many of them he had obliged. Rarely did he go for more than a one night stand, though. He was saving that level of attention for someone else. Smiling, he placed a closed sign on the front door of the library and descended into the basement. It was that day. The day he'd been waiting for for ten long years. He went up to The Mirror and flexed, smiling at the sight before him. In The Mirror was a lovely dragoness with purple scales and a long green fringe. Her lithe form had a slight curve to it, with just the right amount of mass in her hips and thighs to make her downright sexy in Spike's eyes. Spines posed sexily, giggling at the dragon boy before placing a clawed hand on the mirror. Spike mimicked, and felt his hand push into hers. They wrapped their fingers together, and without a second thought, Spike slipped through the glass, ready for the long awaited round two. > A Quick Fix for Crusaders > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was a normal day at Saint Mare's College, one of Equestria's most well-known all female schools. The young mares were on their way to classes, the professors were preparing lectures and quizzes, and all the lights in one of the first-year dorm buildings had gone out. Wait... No one was quite sure how it happened, but something had gone wrong with every single light in that dorm alone. Some of the mares had panicked at first, but the Resident Advisers and staff members were quick to dispel all worries, ensuring the students that the problem would be taken care of shortly. Everypony was to remain calm and go about their day; an electrician would be by to fix the problem in no time. There was just one problem: Short Fuse, the mare on staff who usually would deal with such things, was out sick. That meant that in order to deal with the issue quickly, the staff would have to call in help from outside. And they really only had one option if this was to be done quick and cheap... An option they didn't like one bit. Quick Fix, a young Earth pony stallion who worked for his father's electric company, was not having a good day. First, he'd been sent out by dear old dad to take care of "Some small job at the College". Then he'd been chewed out by the mare in charge, who repeatedly told him to "Keep your mind on your work, and keep away from the students!" When he finally got away to actually take care of the problem, he found out that it wasn't quite the "small job" his father had made it out to be. Turns out, each and every bulb had been burned out suddenly... meaning he had to replace them all by hand if he wanted to get paid. He had to go around to each dorm room and knock. If a mare was in there, he was to ask them to leave while he worked on every bulb in sight. If not, he would use the key he was given and move on. He was not to enter a dorm room if somepony was already in there. And from the death glare that old mare had given him, he was sticking to that. It was long, tedious, and downright boring work. He hated every second of it. What he wouldn't give for anything else to do right now. Anything to relieve the boredom. And it was killing him being around all of these mares; all around his age, most of them fairly hot, and quite a few giving him... looks. But he pushed on. He did not want to know what would happen if he broke his word and did anything with them. And so he worked... Fix was on what felt like the hundredth dorm room of the day. He had knocked, and as with many of the rooms received no answer. Sure that it was empty, he took out the key he'd been given and entered. Immediately, not wanting to waste anytime, he got to work fixing the first bulb, the one in the hallway. Just as he finished, he became aware of somepony giggling. Turning his head sharply, he saw that this dorm hadn't been as empty as he'd been told. There at the end of the hallway stood three cute young mares, probably a year younger than himself: a yellow Earth pony, a white unicorn, and an orange pegasus. Each one of them giving him... that look. "Uh... I'm sorry, but... um... you're not supposed to be-" Quick Fix quickly stammered before being cut off by the Earth pony. "Oh, we don't mind, sugar. Nopony's gotta know. Ah'm Apple Bloom, and this here's Sweetie Belle..." she gestured to her unicorn roommate. "Nice to meet you, dear," Miss Belle purred to him. Apple Bloom then gestured to the pegasus, "And Scootaloo." Scootaloo gave Quick a smug grin, then calmly asked the question of the century: "'Sup?" He nervously regarded the girls. They were each dressed... very casually, to put it lightly. Loose t-shirts, tight shorts... Rejecting those thoughts from his mind to get back to business, he firmly tried to state, "Nice to meet you all, but you really shouldn't be-" Sweetie Belle cut him off, stepping forward a bit. "Oh, come now dear, you have us at a disadvantage! You know our names now, but we still don't know yours." Her voice had an odd quality to it that sent shivers down Fix's spine. She had a slight, rich-sounding Canterlot accent to her voice, giving her a certain air of sophistication that her Sapphire Shores t-shirt somewhat clashed with. "Uh... I'm Quick Fix. Now, if you could please just-" "Whoa there, sugar, what's the rush? We know you've been workin' hard and all... why not take a little break? We wouldn't mind the company." Apple Bloom stepped forward as well, giving him a sultry look that made it clear what kind of break they had in mind. "I-I-I can't... You have to... I..." "Oh, shut the buck up already! 'You have to leave, you can't be here,' blah blah blah. Quit bein' such a pussy!" Scootaloo griped, crossing her arms and rolling her eyes at him. Quick just stood there, trying to think of something that could get him out of there. He really didn't want to be forced into something by these girls. No matter how hot they were. Shut up! Bad brain! Don't think that! Before he could gather his thoughts, Scootaloo's eyes widened with a revelation. "Hey girls, I think I know how to change his mind..." Then, without another word, she began to pull off her black t-shirt, revealing toned abs and petite breasts in a black wire bra beneath. Sweetie and Apple Bloom immediately caught on and removed their own shirts. Apple Bloom was almost as toned as Scootaloo, but with slightly larger breasts, about a C cup if Fix had to guess. He blushed and averted his gaze... only for it to land on Sweetie Belle. His gaze locked onto her chest in an instant. She was the largest of her friends, with a pair of lovely round D cups. He blushed, but couldn't pull his eyes away, not with the way she was rubbing at it through her lace bra. And then her horn briefly glowed... and then suddenly there was one less bra in the picture. Quick felt three things, almost at the same time, right then: the sudden urge to run, his stallionhood hardening in his pants, and said pants being yanked down by Scootaloo, who had slipped behind him while he was distracted. He froze as he felt the breeze against his suddenly naked legs, and was terrified that now the girls could see the rise growing in his boxers. "Well, now... Ah think that'll do just fine," Apple Bloom commented, stripping out of the last of her clothing as she made her way towards him and as Scootaloo got to work yanking down the last thing in their way. Finally, the hard rod that was Quick Fix's dick was free, stiff and ready for action (regardless of whether Quick Fix himself was). "N-now hold on! We can't- I mean you can't just- I mean-" "Oh, hush now, sugar. I'll be gentle!" With that, she dropped down in front of him, and began to lick over his cock greedily in what was obviously an inexperienced attempt at foreplay. Still, Quick couldn't say watching her didn't turn him on at all. And it did feel pretty good when she started trying to give him a sloppy blow job (albeit a little more wet than he'd like). She had been at it for barely a few minutes when she pulled back, licking her lips and getting down onto her back, legs spread. "What d'ya say, sugar? Wanna be mah first? I want ya in me so much." She began fingering her wet snatch to emphasis the point, letting out pleading moans of desire. Quick Fix was still hesitant. But... he'd already gone this far. He doubted that anypony would believe he'd been raped by these three, and he was feeling really horny at this point. And to top it off, she was really turning him on right now. Fuck it. I give up. He gave her a nervous grin, then got down on top of her to slip in his saliva-coated stallionhood. She let out a sharp gasp as she felt herself be penetrated for the first time. "G-Golly, that felt... good... p-push it in more, sugar!" Fix began to gently thrust back and forth, trying to pleasure them both while at the same time keeping it comfortable for Apple Bloom. It felt good inside her tight, virgin pussy, especially the way its hot, wet folds squeezed at his rod. There was a spike in her moaning, then a muffled shriek of pleasure as she came, letting out her first orgasm of sweet mare cum over his cock. As she lets out her first ever load, she rears up, grabbing onto Fix's shoulders and gripping tightly, digging in with her nails. When she finally finished, she sat panting, her hands still on his shoulders, and then she planted a big, joyful kiss on his lips before pulling out, leaving him unfinished. "Warmed him up for ya, Sweetie!" she stated as she walked shakily to the bathroom to clean herself up. "Thank you, Apple Bloom. Now, Mr. Fix, I'm sorry to say I can't let you have at my virginity. That wouldn't be proper, now would it? I must save it until my wedding night. But that doesn't mean we still can't have some fun. Dearest Apple Bloom didn't let you go did she? Well, I can fix that." As she speaks in her rich, sultry accent, she removes the last of her clothes and presses her large breasts against Quick's crotch. "I saw you looking at these girls. Do you want to have some fun with them? Because they certainly want to have fun with you!" Looking at those divine, perfect looking tits did excite Quick Fix, so he quickly nodded, not trusting his tongue at the moment. With his approval, Sweetie lay her chest upon him and began her beloved mounds against his engorged dick. The sight turned Quick on to no end, making him feel all that closer to blowing his load. But not yet, not until he was ready for this to stop. Sweetie leaned down and kissed the tip of his cock through her cleavage, giving it a little coaxing lick here and there, trying to get his flared wang to let out a little something for her to taste. She massaged her fingers into her breasts sexily, moaning at how sensitive they felt. She loved having that hot, wet penis between her breasts, and wanted nothing more than to have it blow a hot, sticky load right in her face. "Oh, please, dear, I beg you. Let me have it, I know you are close!" Quick held back still, wanting to make this moment last, though his endurance began to wear thin. Finally, he let loose when he heard Sweetie Belle demand (out of her posh, proper accent he noted) "Oh cum on me already! Cum on me now!" And so he did. Fix released a large stream of hot, salty semen into her face, hitting her in the hair, the eyes, the mouth... and she loved it. She lolled out her tongue for a moment, and then licked lustily at every drop of cum she could get that horny tongue on, moaning sensuously all the while. "Oooh... fuck... me... that was amazing!" she squealed as she pulled away, after licking some cum off of her tit. "Phew... thanks stu-... er, I mean, dear," she corrected herself, accent returning. "I have to go wash the rest of this off of myself. Must be presentable! Oh, and good luck..." She turned to head towards the bathroom as Scootaloo sprang, stark naked and horny as hell, out of nowhere, shoving Quick to the ground, pining him down. "You'll need it." Scootaloo grabbed Quick's flaccid cock and began stroking it, almost desperately, trying to get a rise out of it. "Come on, big guy, don't tell me you're done now! I've fucked guys half your size who lasted longer in bed!" Her ministrations and taunts soon manage to give him a slight, somewhat painful erection. Satisfied with what she'd gotten, she started rubbing her hot, moist pussy against that partially hard rod, coating it in her sex juices. It was obvious to Quick that this definitely wasn't her first time. And before he could complain, Scootaloo struck, plunging herself onto that wet, hard cock, and began riding that thing for all it was worth. She moaned and grunted as she rode him cowgirl style, fucking him hard and fast, much different from the other two's styles. Fix grunted, pain and pleasure (mostly pain) coursing through his sore groin as she rammed into him again and again, hitting her climax soon after beginning yet still going strong. She was, after all, only warming up. "Oh, fuck yes!" she moaned as she continued her crazed ride. Fix was coated in sweat, groaning in pain. He could feel another load, feel the pressure building. And he knew that when it came out, it was gonna hurt. Again Scoots came on him, letting out a sudden flood of mare-cum from her sweet honey-pot. "C'mon, you damn bastard! Cum for me already!" With a loud, pained grunt, Fix finally let loose, releasing a smaller burst of hot cum into her. As he lay panting, Scootaloo sighed in relief and rose to clean herself. "Thanks for the ride, wuss." All Fix could muster for a response was an unintelligible moan. "Thanks again, feller! Here's our numbers, call us if ya'll ever need another good bucking!" "Indeed darling. It was most divine, and we wish to do it again if you are willing." "Yeah yeah. You were alright. For a pussy. Look, we gotta get to class, so get back to work." Fix sighed and returned to work on the bulb. His groin had never been so sore. And those girls... they were crazy. But... it wasn't all that bad. He didn't get caught and they let him use their shower (and respected his wishes to do it alone) to clean up. Plus... crazy as they were, those mares were damn good in bed. Though maybe next time he'd stick with just one of them...
