Partial Possession chapter 16: Epilogue

>You giggle, occasinally having to draw in a hasty breath.
>Rainbow and Fluttershy aren't laughing, though, mostly just confused, looking you over
>You realize you forgot to check yourself and you may have wrecked yourself.
>You go to a mirror and look in
>Some of your body is missing entirely, just fading off into nothing
>Others are strange mixes; human legs, hooves for feet and hands, all sort of weird shit
>As much as you like the lovecraftian horror look, you don't want to spend all your time like this
>You focus yourself, and are engulfed in green flame, before reappearing as a perfect recreation of Rainbow Dash.
>Sweet, it works.
>You change to Fluttershy, though for a moment your hair is still a rainbow, and your wings look disproportionately large
>Eventually you get it down, and make yourself a nice yellow-and-pink bestpony
>Twilight simply walks out the room, content in her work
>Rainbow clears her throat. "So uh...that...that happened."
>You turn back, both of them wide eyed in fear
"Aww, come on you two, what's the fuss about?"
>Fluttershy looked to the floor. "Y-you had a lot of limbs for a moment there..."
>Rainbow nodded. "And a lot of changeling magic. Not fun to see."
>What, do they have PTSD?
>
>You wait for a response for a few moments, before blinking. Oh.
"Oh. Man, this'll take some getting used to, being a solitary being. Anyways sorry for the triggering."
>You stretch and put your arms behind your head. Fluttershy blushes, covering herself with her tail
"Besides, now I can be whatever I want!"
>One flash of green later, you're Celestia, although the colors of your hair are misplaced, and you're a little short
>"Hey dude, could you not be people we know?"
"Tch. Fine."
>You quickly change back to the hyena coloration, stretching your wings out
"Man, this is great!"
>You jump up in the air, and barely catch yourself with your wings, before falling to your hooves and stumbling.
"Gonna have to get used to flying without a co-pilot."




>Fluttershy cleared her throat. "What about...being you?"
>You blink. Oh yeah, that's an option.
>You look in the mirror and try to remember yourself
>Easier said than done. You've spent more than a month without a body at all, and a week and a half as a pony
>And even then, you hesitate
>After a few moments, you look back.
"I don't know. I'd need some time alone. I don't really remember how I look. Besides, I don't want to walk around as a human. Too much attention"
>
>Rainbow's jaw dropped. "H-human?! That monkey thing?!"
>Fluttershy shakes her head. "Not a monkey, an ape. And I can understand why he feels uncomfortable."
"You don't seem very surprised, Fluttershy."
>She squeaks and diverts her eyes. "W-well, I...maybe I couldn't help but look at some of your memories..."
>You narrow your eyes.
"How much did you see?"
>She fidgets and blushes. "Not much...I'm sorry, I knew you wouldn't want me too..."
"The fact that you weren't driven insane from the revelations means you didn't learn too much, so I guess it's okay."
>Rainbow looked between you two, before standing up. "Whatever, at least everything worked out this time."
"Yeah."
>For a moment, no one says anything, and you sigh.
"Feels a lot quieter now. Let's go fuck around."
>Rainbow held up her arm. "Hey, wait a second, why are you--"
>Fluttershy elbowed her in the side. "Hush, Dash. I'd love to spend some time with you, Anon."
>For a moment, you wonder what Rainbow meant. Maybe she was about to point out some flaw in your disguise, but that's okay
>Anything that will freak people out is fine by you. Now that you're a lich you intend to take advantage of it, damnit.
>Dash sighed. "Ah well. Either way, I should get to work. You two lovebirds have fun."
"See ya later, homosex."
>"Okay, Dash! See you!"
>Once she flies out of the room, you can barely hear her talking. "Yes! Free at last!"
>You could swear she said "Now I can go home and stare at myself in the mirror", and you would. Doesn't mean she did, but you would.




>You'd swear a lot of things about people if it was funny enough at the time. Honestly, it's their fault for believing you.
>You are the manchild who called faggot.
>You smile while staring blankly into space, and Fluttershy clears her throat again. "Anon?"
>Right, girlfriend.
"So, Flaps, what we gonna do?"
>She clapped her hooves together. "We can get you a pet!"
"I want a highly venomous snake. One that hates everything I hate. Except me."
>She nods. "We can work with that!"
"Wow. I uh, I didn't expect you to go with that."
>She starts walking out with you. "Well, I don't know many who are venomous, but there's lots of other kinds of snakes around!"
>She begins listing off the species she knows who live near her cottage, and you follow her out of the castle, and down the path
>Eventually, you reach her home, and a few animals come out of the underbrush to greet her.
>She immediately gets to work, greeting back and searching for pet candidates
"Hey Flutters, I'm kind of thirsty. I'm going in to get a drink."
>She pops out from behind a bush, a constrictor around her neck. "Alright, Anon! We'll be ready soon!"
>You can't help but grin at her enthusiasm, and step inside, going to the sink
>One glass of water later, you step outside to see Fluttershy covered in various reptiles that quickly slithering off and lining up
>By the time you walk up, there's plenty to choose from, all curiously swaying their heads, looking between eachother and you two
>Fluttershy gets a spray bottle and spritzes it in the air, coating each of the beast's scales in a shiny gleam
>Once she finishes, she smiles and holds out a arm, presenting them to you. You raise a hoof to your mouth and giggle
>You look at each, some of them as thick as your arm, others tiny and thin
>They're of every color, too.





>"This is a boa constrictor, and these two are garter snakes, this is a inland taipan, and this little guy is a atheris--"
>She continues naming them, and you tap your chin. Each looks nice and dangerous
>Before she even finishes, one of them jumps forward, curling around and biting your leg
>After the fear surges through your veins, you realize it didn't actually puncture your skin
>You hold up your arm and and Fluttershy gasps. "Bad, Atheris! No biting." She takes him off. "I'm sorry, he doesn't have his fangs yet."
>He does look quite young. His scales were a bright gold, each standing up like hair on the back of a startled cat
>He almost looked like a little dragon, except not as pathetic as Spike.
"I like this little shit's moxie. I'll take him."
>Fluttershy blinks. "Really?"
>You shrug.
"What's the worst that can happen? He bites me? I'm already dead."
>Her eyes light up. "Oh, of course! You two will be perfect!"
>You pick him up, looking him in his bright silver slitted eyes.
"I'll still bite back, though. So don't push it."
>It gives a shit-eating grin. You're not even sure how a snake can do that, but it makes you like him even more
>He coils around your neck, and starts chewing on your ear. It kind of tickles
>By the time you look back, most of the other snakes are slithering away. You frown, but before you can feel too bad, Fluttershy pats your back
>"Don't worry, Anon, they like it out in the forest around here too." You smile and nod
"I'm gonna name this snake 'Shitface McGoo'."
>Her face contorts into worry, and you sigh and nod.
"Yeah, yeah I know, just McGoo in public."
>She smiles and hugs you. "I'm so glad we can do this together."
"Yeah, I can tell! The whole way here you were talking about it."
>She nervously chuckles. "I suppose I do get carried away, huh? I just love animals. Don't you?"



>Before you can answer, she starts again. "Oh, I'll have to teach you all about how to tell how they're feeling. See, if they make an S shape,--"
>You nuzzle into her, and she lets out an adorable squeak
"Alright, alright, Steve Irwin. We can do that in a minute. Let's get inside, it's hot out here."
>"Who's Steve Irwin?"
"The best god damn wildlife expert ever, where I came from."
>She grins. "Sounds like a compliment, to me."
>You chuckle and stand up, walking into the cottage
>She grabs a wooden box from a closet and puts it up against the wall in the living room, a small hole big enough for Shitface to slither in
>Which he immediately does, poking enough of his head out to grin at you
>All the while, she's giving you a briefing on how to interpret snake movements, excitedly motioning with her arms whenever she gets a chance
>While she's talking, you start walking up the stairs, her absent-midedly following, immersed in the wildlife talk.
>Once you get to her bedroom, you sit down, and she sits down next to you
>"But don't worry if they open their mouth, they don't necessarily want to bite you, snakes yawn sometimes, or have to re-align--"
>You cut her off with a kiss, and quickly feel heat rising to her face. She places her hooves on you as if to say 'stop', but relaxes
>You eventually pull away, placing your arms around her
>She sighs peacefully, holding you closer and kissing your cheek
>Eventually you realize a lack of hardness below, and look down
"Oh shit. I'm still a girl. Hahaha! I guess I didn't really think about it and just got used to it."
>She gives a half-laugh in return, looking away.
"What's wrong?"
>Her eyes meet your for a moment, before they dart away, and then back. "Um...w-would you mind staying this way...?"
>
"You were the faggot all along, weren't you?"
>She blushes ever deeper and nods, looking away. You roll your eyes.
"Ah well, who am I to say no to some girl-on-girl action?"
>You kiss her again, and she returns the gesture in full
>You lower your arms around her, and feel her wings puff out
>Being dead ain't half-bad.
