> The Great Trans Challenge > by Michael Hudson > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > What It Means > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Featherweight swallowed hard as she sat in a small, curtained off room. Not an inch of cloth was covering her at this point, letting her look at her own body, from her lithe chest and stomach, her gangly limbs, and, of course, the thing that hung between her legs. The part of her that she wished would just go away, but that wasn’t something any of the unicorns in Ponyville had been able to do. But an alicorn from far away… She swallowed hard as she tapped her legs, her body shaking in anticipation. For a lot of the other males, it was just some big competition that they were willing to give up their pride for. A million bits, enough for most ponies to live almost the rest of their lives comfortably with, to the one who put on the best ‘show’. The one who took the most ‘love’. A lot of ponies were honestly criticizing the event for being a public porno, but she… She didn’t care. She liked Princess Cadance’s desire to let the stallions know how it felt to be a mare, even for only a few hours. To know how Featherweight felt, though she supposed in a much more forward sense. Still, the fact that they would also be fucking in their new bodies… “Miss Featherweight? Are you ready for the spell?” Featherweight jumped a little at the words, her hands coming over her crotch as her cheeks turned a bright red. After all, she was still naked, and still a bit on the shy side, so all of this… She wanted it so much, but she knew that the minute she said yes, there was no going back from the competition part of this. The fact that she would be so public in front of so many ponies… “Hey, I’ve got your back, no matter what. Just like you have for me, right man?” “Yeah! Besides, you need a team for this, so who better than the three amigos to take this?” Featherweight smiled a little at the words bouncing in her mind, before swallowing hard and looking at the nurse, giving her a small smile before whispering, “Y-Yeah. Thanks.” The nurse nodded, before slipping behind the curtains. Feather fidgeted in her seat, her ears burning as she tried to listen for others to say yes. Specifically, her two best friends. The two who never judged her for who she was. The two who, despite one being as much of a guy as she could think of one, were willing to do this with her. Then again, neither were all that loaded, so that could have something to do with it. She liked to think it was for her sake though. That Button Mash joking about normally playing girls was what was going on in his mind, instead of funding for his games. That when Rumble said he was doing it to make sure that she could start properly smiling, it wasn’t with the thought of continuing their lazy school days, something he had been complaining about since they all turned eighteen. Featherweight ran her arm over her eyes, taking in a shallow breath as she got herself ready. There wasn’t anything to be afraid of after all. Not when this was her true self. Not when she would finally get to be her… So why was it so utterly terrifying? To think that in a few moments everything that she hated about her body would finally be gone? “See, I told you she’d be freaking out.” “Yeah. Good thing Sweetie is friends with Twilight.” Feather raised her head, her heart almost stopping as Button Mash and Rumble walked into the room. They were as naked as her, a fact that got her heart racing for a moment. To be fair, she normally considered herself as being a lesbian too, but her friends weren’t exactly unattractive either. First there was Button, who stepped forward to give Featherweight a big, tight hug, just as he normally did. He never worried about anything like needing to say ‘no homo’ or anything like that. If you were his friend, you were his best friend. If you were his best friend, you were his family, and it was a lot easier for Feather to believe he was here for her. That did make the fact that he was still firm from Rumble’s workouts, cute as, well, a button, and the nicest stallion she’d ever known awkward for her, and she was a little terrified to see what he might look like as a mare. The real impressive one was also the only one of them who had sexual experience. It came from being on the hoofball team, a nice, if not sarcastic, stallion, and having a cock that reached down to your knee. Rumble was a guy, through and through, but any fears he had about becoming a mare were gone as he stood there. Then again, he never had anything to fear, not while he was the most normal of the three. But that just brought up, for these two nice, rule abiding stallions, why they were in her changing room? She leaned forward, pushing Button Mash away as she hissed, “What are you two doing here? These rooms are even silenced to be more private!” Rumble reached over, patting her on the head as he grinned at her. “Because we knew you were gonna be stupid and panicking about all of this, so we used Button’s connections to ask Cadance to let us be here with you for this. Or would you rather have to face the change alone?” Button hopped onto the table that Feather was on. He then reached over, gripping her hand tight as he smiled at her. “That, and we’re both really curious how pretty you’ll look as a mare.” Feather blushed like a madmare as she looked down, tears coming to the edges of her eyes as she whispered, “Th-Thanks. For everything, guys.” Rumble jumped a little, and Button and Feather felt soon afterwards why as a wave of magic ran through them. The stallion treated the spell with the same confidence he did most things though as he hummed out, “I think that’s about to be girls.” Feather could tell that he was right as the magic made its way through her body. She looked down at herself, blinking a few times as she watched the skin on her chest begin to smooth out. Any pecks she had were melting away, and she could see them beginning to rise. Centimeter by centimeter, before she had two, small, breasts. Her hands slowly rose to cup them, her eyes unable to close as she wanted to believe that they were actually there. And then she felt it begin to shrink. The monster between her legs recede back into her, and her body began to shake as she put her hands behind her. It was a powerful feeling, both from her own emotions as well as the magic, for it to go, and Featherweight thought she might collapse from it. Instead though, her arm brushed against one of Button’s, and the panic that had been filling her began to eb. When she gripped his hand again, it began to fade into the background. And when she reached around, kissing him like she had thought of doing dozens of times before, it went away entirely. For one moment, she was in the same bliss that she had always dreamed of as her body finally matched how she believed it should be. Too bad it was matched by sheer terror as she realized what she was doing with one of her best friends and pulled away. One of her hands came over her lips, and she began to babble out, “I’m so sorry! I swear, I didn’t mean t-” She stopped as Button waved it away, the other mare coughing as she looked up. And while Featherweight was unmistakably a girl, she was still tall, flat, and wobbly. Button looked like a girl. Well, he always had, but now… She had cute breasts that weren’t just soft, but squeezable. Feather would almost bet that they would fit in her hands almost perfectly, and it wasn’t just that. Button’s features were soft and curved, her cute, short hair now perfectly framing her face as she smiled. Button waved at her with the same, stupid grin he always had, only now with a much more feminine body, and said, with a softer, higher voice, “Damn, Feather, I’m happy I got my first kiss before my first fuck, but I didn’t expect you to be so good at it! Where did you learn to do that?” Feather let out a long sigh of relief. Her friend was still exactly who he was, just now in a girl’s body, and that included as innocent as ever. Still, she was beat red and covered her small breasts. “Umm, you know, practice, and, uh, stuff.” “Ugh. Sounds like you two had it a bit easier then.” The two turned to their final friend, who was picking herself off the floor, and their eyes widened to the size of dinner plates. If Feather had been asked before this what she expected each of them to look like, she would have nailed Button dead on. Rumble on the other hand… Well, he was a butch guy, so he should have been a butch girl. Wide in the chest, small in chest like she was now, and with a twelve pack instead of his six. Instead, she was still looking at what she’d call an amazoness, but only because he still sported a six pack. His arms were well muscled, but not the body builder sort that Feather had expected, and the same went to his legs. No, instead of muscled, she’d call her friend toned. Even his abs weren’t all that well defined anymore, and her face had softened. The biggest change to what either had expected were Rumble’s breasts. They were easily the size of either of theirs heads, and made Feather cover her small mounds even more. Why did he get the giant rack? Why was he so blessed to look like such a good girl, while she probably just looked awkward? Why did they have to be here for this? Rumble shook his head for a moment, before looking at Feather and smiling a little. “Well, I’m happy to see you got lucky as always.” Button beat Feather to the punch as he shouted, “Lucky? She’s got the smallest tits of all of us! With how long she’s been waiting for this, she should have breasts bigger than the princesses!” Rumble chuckled a little as he reached over and patted Feather on the head. “Yeah, lucky. Take it from a guy who has been everywhere, from a frat party to locker rooms,” he looked down at Feather, smiling at her, “you’ve got possibly the most unique body I’ve ever seen, and that’s a lot more attractive to me then if Samus Aran met Twilight Sparkle over there.” For a moment, Button opened his mouth, before stopping, staring at herself and going, “Oh my god, I totally would look just like her with the right clothes, wouldn’t I?” And as the two stallions by her laughed, Feather smiled, a pressure on her chest slipping away as she was reminded of how little had actually changed just because she, or they for that matter, looked different. Yeah, everything would be oka- “Alright! Time to get moving to the main room to get fucked girls! You have five minutes!” Feather blinked a few times before sighing to herself. “That’s right. We still, uh, have to go do that, don’t we?” She glanced around, spotting Button first, who was looking a bit pale, but he tried to give her a smile of confidence back. Rumble on the other hand looked bored at the idea. Like he didn’t care about the fact that for the first time in his life, she assumed at least, he was going to get fucked, instead of doing the fucking. In Feather’s mind though, it was a small price to pay for what had just happened, and she managed to stand up and stammer out, “L-L-Let’s go out there, a-and win!” Rumble nodded, pumping her fist into the air while Button kept staring at her boobs, fascinated by them. Then again, Feather supposed, those were likely the first pair of breasts he’d ever gotten to actually see in real life rather than a screen. It was a little cute even, at least to her, but that might have been because of how used to him being like this she was. They did need to get going, and rushed out of the waiting room where the dozen or so contestants were waiting in. They all knew the rules, and, from the crowd of only adult ponies, she assumed the crowd did too. That of course didn’t stop Cadance from saying them again. She was like an angel, descending from on high as she came from a burst of pink magic, her wings stretched out to let her slowly fall to the ground. She was in a proper dress that covered her body, but that didn’t stop every newly transformed mare from comparing, but there was no point. Not even Rumble could put up a fight against an alicorn’s body. A fact which made a fairly flat Twilight fume in her seat about. Cadance smiled at her newly transformed mares as a microphone appeared in one of her hands. Her voice was calming and sweet as she spoke crisp and clearly. “Hello, everypony, to my first contest to bind the sexes together. In this one, I wish to focus on the sexual aspect of mares and stallions. Specifically, flipping it so that our wonderful stallions here get to fill their sexual appetite, but now as a mare.” On the far side of the room, a door opened to reveal what must have been over a hundred stallions, causing the transformed stallions to pale at the reminder that they were all going to be fucking, at the same time, and that required a lot of stallions to be on hand. Cadance treated this like it was no big deal as she continued with, “We have here many stallions, eager to show enjoy themselves too, but, so we have a finite amount, each is allowed only to cum once. The team of three mares that makes the most stallions cum wins the prize of a million bits, and an exclusive interview with myself about the experience. Now,” she said with a smirk,” begin.” All of the participants blinked as a bell rang, and then… No pony really moved. After all, they weren’t porn stars. Some were there for the fame, many of the stallions were there for the decent bit of cash they were getting for participating, though nowhere near the prize even when they were all added, but none were there just to fuck. Even with the money, most were paralyzed. The only to keep moving was the mare that looked the most bored of them all, and that was to her teammate’s surprise. Not that she went out, in fact, Feather expected it, but the fact that she treated it so casually. Rumble just kept moving before lifting one of her legs and yelling, “Hey, where can I get a dick already?” And that was the shock that many of them needed to get moving. Feather wasn’t the first, but she wasn’t the last either. No, not with the fact that Rumble was going to be so confident. After all, he was a stallion. He was used to fucking, sure, but he was being fearless about something that was supposed to come naturally, and she wasn’t about to let that go to waste. After all, Celestia knew what the money could do for her! But when a stallion did stop across from her, she froze. At this point, the arena they were in was getting filled with dust from people running around, either in hunting a partner, or from ponies deciding a mare was too crazy, or a stallion was too big, and she stopped in front of one she considered to be the latter. Then again, she had been thinking that about most of the stallions, and this one seemed just as frozen as her. She swayed her hips as one of her arms crossed under her chest, her eyes darting away from his. He lifted an arm, scratching the back of his head, which was almost at eye level with her. When Feather realized that, she paled, assuming that most of the stallions hadn’t gone for her because of that, instead of the fact that a mare technically had to invite you to fuck her, even in a contest like this. Cadance wasn’t about to allow stallions to break the law after all. It would have been real useful for Feather as a contestant though if he had just grabbed her. If he had decided to take this mare now, instead of just staring at her. Rumble had called her unique, but she still doubted that anypony else saw it that way. Why would this one just be staring at her after all? “Wow, you’re really cute. I mean, for a, uh, stallion I guess?” Feather blushed a little as she glanced away. “Uh, a-a-actually, I, um, I plan to a-ask Cadance to l-leave me like this. I’ve always id-dentified as a, uh, mare after all…” She shut her eyes, groaning to herself as she tried to figure out why she was telling this guy all of this. But, to her surprise, he sounded almost happy to hear it as he said, “Oh, you’re one of those trans mares I’ve heard about! That actually makes this so much easier, because thinking about cumming inside of a pony that was going to be a dude in a few hours only really hit me when the gate opened.” Feather chuckled a little as she squeezed her arm. “Yeah. Would you believe it if I said I was somehow still nervous to be changed?” “Oh, yeah, definitely. Hell, I’m nervous right now to fuck a mare as cute as you!” Feather smiled a little, twisiting some of her short hair around one of her fingers as she felt herself relax. Yeah, she was a mare, and she was cute, so there was nothing to be afraid of. She could just enjoy herself and relax. So, she opened her mouth and asked, “Do you really think I’m cute? I mean, I don’t mind, but…” Button Mash grabbed the side of her arm, his cheeks burning from the two guys that she was next to. Others were passing by, and one even made him suddenly jump from smacking his soft ass, but these were the two he had called over himself. After all, he wanted to win this just as much as anypony else, so he had to start doing something, but one them calling him cutey had caught him off guard. The stallions grinned at her, one of them slipping an arm around his shoulders before grabbing one of his breasts. Just as Feather had predicted, they were the perfect size as almost every inch of the soft mound was pressed into. Button wasn’t ready for it though as his body shook a little. Was… This always this good? And then there were his words that made Button blush more. “Of course. You look like you just came out of a comic book or something. I had my eye on you the second I saw you.” “That’s because you haven’t been laid in six months, Frank.” Button chuckled a little at the jab, but his attention quickly went back to the hand on his breast. Now, he wasn’t an idiot. He had listened to Sweetie Belle vent about how other stallions in class would treat her, let alone all the idiots who disappointed his mom, but now that he was in their shoes… He swallowed hard, not entirely wanting to admit that this was part of why he agreed to this. To see if stallions would come onto her like they did his friends. Then again, he didn’t expect to be pretty much on par with his friends when it came to looks, but he supposed that just made this more accurate. And, from the large prick that was pressing into the side of his soft thigh, he could tell that their attention was exactly what he had. That went for both of them though, and while this other one wasn’t as forward, he was still at full mast for Button’s body. It would have been creepy if not for the fact that it was kind of, well, flattering. Button had always been the wallflower. The person on the fringe of everything else going on. Nopony paid him any mind, but right now both of these stallions wanted to know him just because he was a mare. A very pretty mare, but still, it was a nice change of pace. But he wasn’t just here for compliments. He had seen enough porn, and he was here to scream. To howl like the girls in those videos and comics that he enjoyed so much. Yeah… Yeah, he was already wet at the thought, and that in and of itself was nice. After all, it was a lot easier to hide a little dampness between your legs then some annoying log, which was something he always envied of the mares he knew, especially when they teased him for getting hard. She looked at Frank, giving him a broad smile as he said, “Well, why don’t one of you get on the ground, and I can help you wet your appetite then?” They both blinked at the sudden turn around, but neither complained. Frank didn’t get on the ground though, but instead his friend did, his cock raising from the ground like a spike. The one waiting for her now did frown though from what he could see at this angle. “Uh, are you sure you don’t want to wait a little bit? Let us feel you up more before we begin?” Buttton rolled his eyes at that. They weren’t in some romance comic after all where foreplay was needed to build the scene. Nah, he was ready to get to the good stuff, and to start scoring some points. After all, this was a game that he intended to beat as he lowered himself over the mighty prick below him. “While sweet, I don’t need it. Now, I just drop my hips like thi-” Button’s eyes twitched, with one freezing half open from pain while the other dominated his face from Frank ‘helping’ him down. Unfortunately, he was almost as tight as a mare could get, and without any lube or prep, he wasn’t really ready for what that meant. After all, it always just ended up fitting in everything he had seen! But, along with the fear of being split open, there was something there. Some level of pleasure that stoked something in him, and he bit his lower lip as he slowly rose up, just barely leaving the tip inside. Yeah… Yeah, like this it was better. It kind of reminded him of when he would grind his palm against the tip of his hand, but like… A hundred times better. The stallion beneath him gently grabbed his hips, the stallion’s hands sinking into the soft flesh. “Hey, take it easy. You’re hot enough that you don’t need to rush, got it?” Button didn’t notice the harsher tone in the last two words, but instead only took in the care. As a guy, if he had been in pain to help a girl feel better, they’d have just laughed, like Diamond Tiara had many times in the past. He didn’t even need to say something like this though. They were all too eager to cater to his wants, though that could have been because they wanted to fuck him. Then again, that was a heck of a lot better then just wanting to see him fuck up. He slowly began lowering himself again, taking slow, soft breaths as he worked more of himself around the stallion’s cock. It was nice and firm, just as he knew it was, and now that he was growing accustomed to it, he was all too happy about that fact. After all, that meant every twitch of his pussy meant just another bit of friction between him and the other stallion. He slowly began to move faster, moans escaping his lips as his soft breasts bounced on his chest. Now it was starting to match the things he’d watched and read. Now it was starting to feel more right. Not as smooth, sure, but a lot more right, and he could feel something building up inside of him. She could just let it stoke up though, because, she hoped, it was just her climax. As a stallion, he’d have had to worry about cumming too quickly, but like this… “Mmmm.” “Starting to get into it, Sweetie? Because if so, I could help you start getting a second point. I’ll even take over the hard work for the two of you.” Button hummed at the idea as he nestled in at about a third of the way down on her current stallion. His body was burning up at this point, but it was beginning to get tired, just like after any good old jerking off session he used to have. For this stallion to just offer to help him feel better and take over was something he almost couldn’t imagine having happen for him. For her though… She leaned down, shivering as the last of the stallion’s cock slid into her pussy. She then reached back, and just like in so many of those things he watched, she spread her ass for the second stallion. “Sure, but only if, nff, you think, ah, you can deal, mmm, with it.” The stallion chuckled, getting in behind her as the stallion under her panted. He hadn’t been doing anything, but Button could imagine how much effort it had taken for him to cum already with how good she’d felt. Not that she would have minded getting him to cum quickly. Still, she was grateful, and even leaned in to give the nice stallion a kiss, something she wouldn’t have thought of doing for Frank. And something Rumble didn’t consider doing for even the stallion’s whose cum sprayed over her face just before a judge pulled him away. It was maybe twenty minutes into the competition, and he had scored seven times, with two in each hole, and one guy right at the beginning who’d managed to be a one pump chump. He wasn’t doing too badly with a score like that. In fact, he was likely the one in the lead, as he had immediately embraced his role of cum slut. And it had been… Weird. Not exactly bad, and that was almost worse than if it had been. It didn’t get rid of some of the confusion that he’d been facing over the past year since he had turned eighteen. The mares that couldn’t make him cum, and the stallions he had helped because he just felt bad for how hard they had gotten from whores and bimbos teasing them. Not that he let anypony know any of that stuff. He’d have been mocked by a good amount of people if it came out that he acted gay, even with how grateful the guys he helped were, and to think he was impotent was almost as terrifying. When this whole thing had come up and Feather wanted in, he saw it as an excuse. A way to get things right. And yet, unlike Button, who he had watched starting screaming in pleasure, he wasn’t just enjoying the female body. He also didn’t have the delusions his poor friend did, but it was good to see him enjoying being around other people, and that thought… That thought made him shiver. Made him act like the idiots pumping into her pussy and ass were doing a damn thing for her, rather than just getting his body to mundanely react to all of this. Sure, he was getting the stallions off, and was playing the part of loving this, but he had gotten bored about fifteen minutes ago. Then again, he’d talked to mares who felt the same way about banging. Who enjoyed it for a little bit, but sooner or later the friction and effort just got boring for them. And all he was doing was banging, but he enjoyed that, right? He enjoyed cumming into frat girls mouths after talking about their long winded boyfriends, and that didn’t take very long. Then again, he pretended to cum when he got limp trying to fuck that stripper Thunderlane got for his boyfriend… Wow. He was overthinking all of this, just like he normally would tease Feather or Button about whenever they talked about sex. After all, it was just for pleasure. If it weren’t, what good was it? Then again, he supposed as he leaned back, giving her throat a break, at least right now it was also going to make him a lot of cash while not feeling like a common whore. Not for a one time thing like this. And then his eyes spotted the scoreboard above them. Nopony was paying attention to it, despite it being positioned so ponies laying down could see it better, but they were preoccupied. Rumble on the other hoof? He saw that most of the teams were tied, with a few exceptions. His team was one of those exceptions, with a score that was behind by three, and there were only a half dozen guys left. He blinked a few times before looking to the judge who was nearby. He could in theory catch them up, but if any of the lead teams took even one more point, that would be problematic. Sure, they still technically won, but a cool million on top of that could get Button through programming school. It could get Feather the camera she has always wanted. It could get the three a house so they could all be together, and all be sa- “Ah!” Rumble blushed hard at the very real moan, not having really any clue where it came from, but the sharp tone of it had caught the judge’s attention. After all, they were watching to make sure nothing went wrong in such a setting. Instead of seeing a mare in pain though, she saw a very determined set of eyes boring into her. Rumble beckoned the poor stallion closer, before grabbing the judge by the collar, much to the horror of the stallions beneath him, as they expected to suddenly be in trouble, but Rumble’s words weren’t for any of them. They were for the one running the contest. “Hey, if I wanted to be able to let, say, eight stallions fuck me at the same time, could you all use a spell or something to make that happen?” The judge opened his mouth, before a voice from his collar said, “For your team, I’d be all too happy, especially after watching you.” The judge looked confused for a moment, before running off to get the last six stallions. Rumble knew if any of them couldn’t be accommodated for they’d get snatched up by somepony else, but he didn’t plan to let that happen. So, when the stallions came, what they saw was a mare on full presentation. And this wasn’t just her mouth or her breasts. Those were open for use, but he could see their eyes going elsewhere. After all, they had been told that each other couldn’t get in the way of what they wanted, and that opened up some good possibilities. That’s why his hands were away from his head, poised for a cock each. His armpits were wide open for any freaks, and her breasts were out front and center, her nipples glowing as an invitation to bring them in. The stallions walked through each other, almost memorized at the sexual idol before them. A mare who didn’t say anything, but only worked harder and harder as any of them considered stepping away to keep them all there, and all satisfied. Who twisted and turned as they each wanted a turn on a new piece of her. Rumble complained through none of it, as with each time they came, another shiver came through his body. The one that was firmly pressed between her breasts made her hands almost become vices when it came. The one in his ass shot straight as she moaned like a complete whore. The one in his pussy was just a second later, with Rumble’s pussy clinging so hard that the judge had a hard time pulling him away. The next was a two for one deal, which were the ones in her hands. They made a mess of her hands as they came, all while his eyes began to roll back from the slowly understood, small climaxes that slammed into his body. He lowered his arms to help the next two finish themselves, the friction in her armpits being too much for desperate stallions who had been waiting for too long. And finally, she passed out as the last shot of cum slid down her throat. Rumble lightly choked on it through his own, powerful orgasm, before he finally slid away, a smile on his face as the bell that signalled the end of it rang, and he knew that they had won. Three Months Later “Ow. Come on, that’s the third time to- Ow!” Button pulled her hand away from her costume, whimpering to herself as she sucked on her poor stuck finger. It wasn’t uncommon for her at this point admittedly, but it was still annoying, and after how much work she had put into what was supposed to be a simple outfit… She sighed for a moment, leaning back as she reminded herself of what Rumble told her. It was okay if the costume took a while. That didn’t change how she looked, and the stress wouldn’t be good on the kid that she’d gotten from the giant fuckathon that had gone on back then. Still, she had wanted the costume done before the pregnancy started showing too much so she could wear it at least once before then. Then again, Rumble would just tell her to modify it so that she could be a kickass, pregnant bounty hunter from space, just like Samus would be if she had gotten herself a kid. Then again, he supposed she did with the Metroid, but that came with a lot less annoyances… Knock, knock. “Hey. I hope I’m not distracting you from your work.” Button looked up at Feather, who was standing at the doorway. She was the only one to properly change her name since they had decided to stick as being mare, and she looked good in the long, white dress she sometimes wore back when they were stallions. Or, back when she was a stallion she supposed, with how Feather had taught her to look at it. She still couldn’t entirely get why she still wore it instead of getting herself something nicer. Then again, one could ask that of Button when he wore his big hoody like today. Which, she assumed, was why Feather, for the upteenth time, asked, “Do you ever regret it? Not taking Cadance’s offer to go back to being a stallion? I mean, I was really touched when you decided to become a mare too, but I’m always afraid that-” “-I did it just because you did it. I know, but I had my own reasons, and you know that.” “Yeah, but your reasons-” “Were unrealistic, I know!” Button sighed as she rolled her eyes. She was sick of these questions. Sick of the fact that she was the only one they doubted. Yes, it had started off as just the fact that being a mare made her more attractive, felt so good, and was something she liked romanticizing, but… Button looked back at her costume and lifted up part of it. “Do you know how many mares I’ve looked up to? How many I’ve befriended? How many I’ve been close to? But there was always a space between us. A space that told me that I could never be as close as I wanted to be, or that I’d have to choose one and say I loved them.” Button blinked for a moment as tears came to his eyes. “I… Never wanted to admit it, but for a long time I wished I was a mare. Not because I felt wrong as a stallion, but out of place. The fact that it became easier to get ponies to like me was just a bonus when I can now watch help Sweetie pick out clothes. Now that I can be my mom’s wingmare, I’ve helped her avoid plenty of dates, and doing that feels… More right then when I would just wish them the best as a stallion.” Feather smiled down at her, before wrapping her arms around her friend. “Okay. I just wanted to make sure, and I’m so happy to hear that.” “So am I. In fact, I’m positively rigid at the news.” They both looked up to see Rumble standing in the doorway. They looked like a mare still, complete with breasts that still made their two friends jealous, but they could see what else they were packing from the large bulge in their shorts. Then again, that’s how the two of them knew Rumbled liked it. After all, after what happened back at the arena, Rumble had ended up having a long talk with Cadance about how they were. About how they experienced pleasure, and their issues with it. And Cadance had loved it, and in fact had been hoping to somehow found a pony like Rumble. One who didn’t care about mare, stallion, gay or straight. One who got off on pure pleasure. So letting Rumble embody both was just logical to all of them, and usually they were off putting on more games, or smaller events to help mares like Feather come out of hiding and get the treatment they so desired. But when Rumble was back home with their two idiot friends who had gone and gotten themselves pregnant, they was their supporter, and the two mares ran up to hug them to welcome Rumble back, all too happy to see them. Just as Rumble was anytime they came home. And yes, in both ways that can be taken.
