[FLUTTERRAPE] The Shifting Sands of Ponyville p3

>Day intense confusion in Equestria
>Wake up
>hit, hower, have.
>Walk downstairs and realise something
>It's too quiet
>Uh oh
>Run into the kitchen
>Nothing's been burnt
>Shit. Bad sign.
>Look into the living room
>Not a single piece of broken furniture
>Everything is completely intact
>Turn your gaze to the ceiling
>No giant holes in it, or pieces of food stuck to it.
>Scramble back upstairs and run to the guest room
>Bed is empty
>Practically fall downstairs on your way to the front door
>Throw it open
NO! DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE-
>She ignites the blowtorch
>The force of the blast knocks you back in the house
>You hear a distant scream
>Your ears ring and you groan as you pick yourself back up
>The area in front of your house has been devastated
>Bits of dirt fall from the sky and a huge crater now lies in the middle of the street
>Stagger back outside and look around for her
>See a nearby bush
>A pair of black rear legs slide inside it
>The bush glows green for a second
>Shaking your head, you walk over and pull the tan unicorn out by her legs
God dammit, Sandy.
>"Apologies."

1/?

>You sit in your kitchen, now properly messy due to Sandy's slowly improving cooking skills
>Duck your head to avoid a piece of carrot
Carrots go in WITH the cucumber, Sandy.
>"Oh. That makes sense."
>Roll your eyes and sip your coffee
>So Sandy decided that your alarm clock wasn't doing enough to wake you up
>She turned into a unicorn, trapped a massive amount of flammable gas inside a bubble of magic and tried to ignite it to see if the noise would wake you up
>It woke up all of Ponyville, and sent a clump of dirt through the mayor's window while she was having a bath
>She wasn't too pleased about that
>Sandy, on the other hand, marked the experiment as a complete success, cheerfully informing you that "Yes, Methane gas CAN explode"
>You love that changeling, sure.
>But she can be a little bit much at times.
>You smile over your drink as you recall your night of passion a few weeks ago
>You decided to try something new
>Upon sticking it in her pooper, she yelped, turned into Big Mac, and kicked you in the chest
>Fractured a rib, and you had to stay in bed for a while
>Naturally, Sandy proved that she was more than capable of nursing you back to health, and applied duct tape to your chest where the damaged rib was
>She also tried to feed you breakfast similar to how a mother bird would feed her chicks
>It was terrifying.
>At least she's getting better at acting in public
>Yesterday she only broke the waiter's leg.
>'He was coming at you with a knife', was her excuse.
>"Anonymous! I have created something wonderful!"
>She turns to face you, her eyes almost sparkling with joy
>She presents you with a sandwich
>"Don't thank me, I know I'm excellent."
Sandy why is this sandwich covered in ketchup?
>"This isn't salad dressing?"
Uhh-
>"W-well look! I even put the carrots on it!"
>She's made you a carrot and cucumber sandwich with ketchup all over it.
>You thought she was making salad.
>She smiles at you
>Gulp
I-i'm not hungry, Sandy.
>Her eyes narrow

>You are Mr Waddle
>Slowly make your way around the large pothole in the road
>Don't remember that being there.
>Ooh, your memory isn't what it used to be...
>Hear shouting
>A nearby door bursts open
>An overgrown monkey bolts out, followed by a unicorn levitating a red and soggy sandwich
>"EAT YOUR FOOD, YOU SCALLEYWAG!"
>"I DUN WANNA!"
>Chuckle and shake your head
Ahh, young love...

2/?

>Be Anon
>Olympic runner
>Vault over a sunbathing pony and charge through the market
>Slide under a cart and pant heavily
>Applejack pokes her head under it and raises an eyebrow
>"Uhh, heya, Anon. Whaddya doin' under mah cart?"
Hiding.
>"From?"
Breakfast.
>"...Alright then."
>She shakes her head and goes back to selling her wares to ponies
>You hide under the cart, your legs sticking out next to where Applejack is stood
>Sandy trots through the crowd, the sandwich levitating overhead and dripping ketchup on nearby ponies
>She surveys the area
>Slowly, her head turns around and she locks eyes with you
>Shit, you forgot she could track you by scent
>A smile creeps onto her lips and she starts walking towards you
>Scramble out from under the cart and pick up an apple from a bucket
>"Ah hope you'll pay for that."
>You don't answer AJ, you instead throw the apple at Sandy in an attempt to scare her away
>She doesn't move out of the way, like she normally would
>Instead she just opens her mouth as wide as she can, the apple disappearing down her throat
>She shuts her trap and grins at you
>Well fuck.
>That's new.
>You take off again in a random direction, Sandy shouting out behind you
>"GET BACK HERE AND EAT YOUR BREAKFAST, HUMAN!"
>An aura surrounds your leg
>Look down at it, then at Sandy.
>She is straining herself as hard as she can to maintain the sandwich's flight, and pulling on your leg
>You pull away roughly, Sandy's face scrunching up even harder
>She then gasps and the aura around your leg fades
>The sandwich also drops to the floor
>She looks sorrowfully at it
>Nudges it with a hoof
>And sighs
>She raises her head again, sadness in her eyes
>...
>God damn that face.

3/?

>Walk over to her and kneel down
>She whimpers and picks up the sandwich again with an aura
>It's covered in dirt and a bit mangled from the magical strain put on it
>You pull off a bit of clean (if not ketchuppy) bread and eat it
>Give her an affectionate look
>She giggles
>Smiles sweetly
>And shoves the entire sandwich in your mouth with magic
>You scream over the food
>She forces you to swallow
>Shudder
Oh god that tasted so bad
>Sandy laughs
>"Sustenance has been provided! Onwards to a new day!"
God dammit.

>Sit at the till in Rose's shop.
>Yawn
>Slow day
>...
>Rose is in the back with a new delivery from faraway lands
>You're so bored, and these pony magazines are about as interesting as the plants surrounding you
>Rest your head on the counter and think about life
>The door opens
>Smile to yourself and raise your head again
>To your surprise, it's Twilight Sparkle
>She's giving you a very odd look
Uhh, hello, Twilight! What can I do for you?
>She hesitates, then trots up to the counter
>"I... Wanted to talk, Anon."
>Shift yourself to get a better look at her
>You tower above the little mare, even when sat down
Go on?
>"You remember uhh, Fluttershy, right? She had a bit of a scare about a month ago."
>You think back to yourself
>You remember her trying to rape you in this very shop, but nothing of note-
>Oh.
Yeah?
>"Well I've been doing some asking around, and I just wanted to ask you some questions."
I'm all ears
>"About Shifting Sands."

4/?

>You shuffle uncomfortably
>You know all too well about the relations between Changelings and Ponies.
>Sandy has done her best to stay as normal as she can.
>No one seems to have caught on yet about her apparent ability to change race at will
>Twilight is eyeing you closely
>Snap out of your thoughts and lock eyes with her, a more serious look on your face
Ask away.
>"Where did she say she came from?"
Out of town.
>"Where, though?"
Out of town.
>"Who were her parents?"
Doesn't remember them.
>"What race is she?"
Unicorn.
>"How old is she?"
Twenty three.
>"What does she do at night?"
Sleep on my lap.
>"Why so defensive?"
I'm not being defensive.
>You both glare at each other, Twilight preparing for another bout of rapid-fire questions
>She rears up on her hind legs and places her front hooves on the counter
>You stand up, abusing your height in hopes of intimidating her
>"You wouldn't normally be so antsy, Anonymous. What are you hiding?"
I'm not hiding anything, Twilight. I just don't like being questioned.
>She narrows her eyes
>"Where is Shifting Sands now?"
I don't want to tell you.
>"Why not?"
How do I know you won't hurt her?
>"Why would I do that?"
>Shit.
>You struggle to find an answer
>Twilight's burning gaze is boring a hole into you
>"I don't know what you're hiding, Anonymous. But there's something going on between you and Shifting Sands. What kind of pony has a panda cutie mark anyway?"
The kind of pony that wouldn't appreciate you prying into her life. Leave, Twilight.
>You both stay perfectly still for a minute, the clock on the wall slowly ticking away
>Eventually Twilight backs down
>"Okay, fine. I'll go. But I WILL find out what her deal is, Anon."

5/?

>As Twilight leaves the shop, you watch her go with despair
>Wherever Sandy is now, you hope she's safe and doesn't talk to Twilight
>Something drips onto your head
>Look up
>Sandy is stood on the ceiling, drooling onto you
>"Hello again! Twilight wanted to speak to me but I disguised myself as myself walking along the ceiling!"
>She takes that as her cue to drop from where she was stood
>You jump and prepare to catch her
>She lands in your arms with a pomf
>"What are you about to do with me?"
Drop you on the floor, tell you to leave me alone whilst I'm working, and also tell you to stay the hell away from Twilight Sparkle.
>"Alright then!"
>You drop her
>Tell her to leave you alone whilst you're working
>And then tell her to stay the hell away from Twilight Sparkle
>She gives you a mock salute and trots out the store
>Backwards.
>Keeping eye contact with you at all times.
>She kicks open the door with a back foot and onto the street, still looking straight at you until the door closes.
>Shake your head
>You dread to think what shit she'll get up to

>You are Shifting Sands
>Twilight-Sparkle-Avoider
>Anon gave you an order, and you'll be damned if you're going to let him down
>Turn around
>Twilight Sparkle is grinning, unblinking at you
Hello! I was told not to speak to you!
>Her grin widens
>Something in the back of your mind tells you that something is horribly wrong
>When it finally clicks, you slap Twilight as hard as you can and take flight
>She takes a second to recover, nursing her cheek, then gives chase
>Flap your wings as hard as you can and head back towards Anon’s house
>Look down
>Twilight is following you on the ground, looking up at you flying and still grinning
>You panic and fly through Anon's open bedroom window

6/?

>Your wing catches on the window frame and you lose balance, bouncing off the bed next to the window and onto the floor
>Groan
>A loud pop and a burst of violet light causes you to flinch
>Stand up and turn around
>Twilight is stood in the corner of the room, smiling at you.
>"Anon said you were a unicorn."
N-no. I've always been a pegasus. Yes. A pegasus.
>"I see... And where do you come from?"
>She starts to stalk towards you, opting you to back into a wall
I uhh... I come from my old home?
>"And where might that be?"
...Canterlot?
>Twilight giggles
>"I doubt that. I'd say by your accent that you come from..."
>She quickly pulls a map out of her saddlebags and unfurls it on the floor, stabbing a levitated quill at the barren area in the southern quadrant
>"THE DESOLATION."
>You freeze up.
>Your mind starts running through a variety of plans.
>Eat her?
>No, Anon would be mad
>Fight her?
>She's way better than you with magic
>Fainting goat?
>...
>Fainting goat.
>On cue, you seize up and drop to the floor like a sack of potatoes
>Twilight blinks a few times then trots over, cautiously
>She prods your face with a hoof
>You remain completely still and unblinking
>Twilight looks around
>"Uhh, are you okay? I didn't mean to scare you. Honest. I just want some answers"
>Your eyes glaze over as you begin to enter a sort of rigor mortis.
>Twilight nudges you again
>"Hello?"
>You stop breathing in an attempt to seem less alive
>"Are you... Dead?"
Yes! She bought it!
>"No I didn't."
>YOU SAID THAT OUT LOUD, YOU IDIOT.

7/?

>Stand up and regard Twilight with a cautious look
>She smiles and extends a hoof
>"I think I've seen everything I need to. My name is Twilight Sparkle. What's yours?"
>Quick! Give her a fake name!
Sands Shifting.
>Sandy, you genius.
>"Shifting Sands... Odd name, for a Changeling."
>You wince
>Twilight catches this and smiles
>"It's ok, 'Shifting Sands'. I'm here to help."
>You eye her with curiosity
Proceed?
>"Well, if you were in Canterlot, you would probably have been thrown in prison. But out here there's none of those "Federals" lurking around!"
>Twilight Sparkle says that there are no federal agents lurking around
>Seems perfectly legitimate.
>You nod slowly and she continues
>"Sooo... If you were to come with me, I have lots of questions to ask you! And we can see about sending you back to the hive you came from!"
>That sounds lovely! You love the hive!
>Hang on a second
I cannot go back to there. They removed me.
>"Removed you?"
Yes. Exiled. Kicked out. Told to leave. Given my pink slip.
>Twilight stares at you for a second
>Then she laughs.
>Hard.
>Watch her laugh herself to tears while you awkwardly shuffle on the spot
>"Ooh, that was good! Everyp0ny knows that Changelings can't be removed from the hive! They'd die! I've read so many books from various explorers on the lifestyles of Changelings, I know what you're like"
But I-
>"No no no, I'll have none of it. We'll send you back!"
But I don't want-
>"Come on! It'll be fun!"
>Twilight effortlessly sweeps you off your hooves in a magical aura and strains herself
>You both disappear in a flash. But to where, you're not sure.

8/?

>Be Anon
>"Now, are you sure this plant is safe?"
>You look at the cactus that the customer is inspecting
>It's an Appleoosan Daggertip
>It's spines are each about 5 inches long and secrete a poison so vile it induces paralysis within 2 minutes of penetration
>Come to think of it, you have no idea why it's even here to begin with
>How did Rose even get this thing?
>Meh, who cares
Perfectly safe, sir!
>"Wonderful! I'll take it!"
>You pack up the plant and mutter a quick prayer that the stallion doesn't have children
>As he leaves you think back to Sandy and where she might have gotten to
>It's been 30 minutes since she left and she hasn't sneaked back inside to pester you some more
>Hear a door to one of the store rooms open
>Rose pokes her head around a corner
>"Hey there, Anon. I'll be a bit, uhh, busy for the rest of the day because of this exotic plant, so I'm closing up the shop early."
Oh. Cool.
>Rose gives you a very fake smile
You alright?
>"Suuuuure! I'm doing great!"
>A large green tendril grabs her mane and yanks backwards, but she jerks her head forwards again, clearly straining herself
>"S-say, Anon. Could you pass me those shears?"
>Reach behind you and grab them
>Look back towards Rose
>Several more tendrils are now latched onto her limbs, and she's struggling to hold onto the bit of wall that is the corner of the room
>Hand them to her
>She takes them in her mouth
>"Fanks Anon!"
>She allows herself to be pulled back into the room by the plant
>Listen for a while
>"MAKE FERTILISER OF ME, WILL YOU?"
>A loud piercing shriek reverberates through the shop
>"AND JUST WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE STICKING THAT TENDRIii- AAAAaaaaahhhnn~"
>Shake your head and leave Rose to "fight" the plant
>You have to find Sandy anyway

9/?

>Exit the shop and walk home
>You keep an eye out for any suspicious looking ponies/changelings, but nothing out of the ordinary strikes you
>By the time you reach home, you feel on edge
>You grab an apple from the kitchen and munch on it, walking around the house and checking all of Sandy's hiding spots
>Under the chairs
>In the cupboards
>On the ceiling
>On your back
>Nothing
>You murmur to yourself and jog upstairs to check her room
>On the way to it, notice that your bedroom door is ajar
>Walk through it and look around
>Your window is wide open
>Make your way over to it and think to yourself
>Your bed is messed up
>Something has been sat on it lately
>See something poking out of the folds of the duvet
>Pull it out
>A tan feather
>Your eyes narrow
>Whilst you think to yourself, your eyes wander out the window
>They absentmindedly fall on the tree house library that is Twilight's home
>You pause and squint at it for a while
>You can only really see the top of it from here, but still...
>Maybe?
>You look back at the feather in your hands
>Run your fingers over it and try to piece together everything
>You don't want to imagine that Twilight got to her, despite your warnings, but it looks that way.
>Even if it WAS Twilight, there's no harm in checking, right?
>You make up your mind and head out the front door on a brisk walk towards the library
>As you step out onto the street, a figure steps into view
>Someone you haven't seen in a while
>She smiles up at you with her teal eyes wide with wonder, yet partly hidden behind her pink mane
>Let out an exasperated sigh
Fluttershy.

10/?

>"H-hello! Umm, Anon. How are you doing?"
I'm looking for my friend. Please go away.
>"W-why would you want to go searching for Sandy? I'm all you n-need..."
>You glare at her
>She realises what she just said
>"Oh... Ponyfeathers..."
>Grab her and drag her back inside your house
>She coos at you
>"A-are you going to love me?"
>Shut the door, so that the public can't see what you're going to do next
>Slam her against a wall
Start talking.
>"W-what is there to talk about? You look tired! D-do you want a hug? I can make you some coco then maybe suck you off-"
START. TALKING.
>"T-twilight umm..."
>She mumbles something under her breath and looks away from you
>Growl and squeeze her
>She shifts uncomfortably under the pressure
>"P-please stop, Anon!"
What is Twilight doing, Fluttershy.
>"Well, uuh, it was sort of maybe my idea, but, um, I thought that maybe if I told Twilight where to find Shifting Sands she could send her home or maybe do science on her, I don't really remember but Twilight said that she had never had the chance to experiment on a Changeling before, but now that Shifting Sands is out of the way can we have sex?"
>Gawp at her
You... Twilight...
>Let Fluttershy drop to the floor and rub your eyes
You let TWILIGHT get hold of Sandy?!
>"Umm. yes? I did it for you though!"
>Open the front door, letting it slam into the inside wall
>Punt Fluttershy into the crater Sandy created
>Take off towards the library as fast as you can

11/?

>You are Shifting Sands
>This sure is a bizarre situation to be in.
>Twilight has secured you to a table and is now prancing around the basement area under her house
>She returns to your side with a clipboard
>"This is going to be so much fun! I get to do what no pony else has ever done and Fluttershy gets Anon! Every pony wins!"
>You laugh nervously
Ha ha ha what a story, Twilight! What was that about you doing things to me?
>Maybe getting her to ramble on will solve your problems!
>"Oh! Well, prior to today, Changelings have always been too elusive to capture, and no pony has been able to get their hooves on one long enough to document their physiology! Most accounts are eyewitness reports and artist depictions. But now that you're here, I can document a full study of Changeling anatomy and help every pony to learn!"
>She gets a mad look in her eye and leans in uncomfortably close to your face, breathing through her mouth
>"You know!"
>She's now so close that you can smell the sandwich she ate for lunch
>"FOR SCIENCE!"
>She stands there and pants heavily in your face for a while, her eyes darting around your body and taking in your fake pegasus body
>You try and edge away from her, only to be foiled by the restraints
>"First of all, we need to get rid of that pesky disguise! Now don't worry, I've done this before in Canterlot!"
>She zaps you with a quick burst of purple
>You yelp in pain as your magical disguise is overpowered and practically torn off you
>Blink and look down at your normal black and hole-covered body
Uh oh.
>Twilight giggles, her voice teetering on the edge on mania
>"This is so exciting! I can't believe it!"
>She goes into a fit of giggles and runs off to grab some more supplies
>You try and use magic to get rid of the restraints, but a sharp pain in your horn reveals that they are enchanted to stop magic
>Hear another giggle
>Twilight steps back into view
>"I'm not letting you get away that easily! You're an important part of my research, and Celestia will be so proud of me when I show her my report!"
>She reveals an assortment of scalpels and other instruments
>Gulp
>Twilight levitates a particularly nasty looking tool from her arrangement and licks her lips quickly
>"Now, I don't have any drugs to knock you out with, but to be honest, I'm kinda interested to see how you react to... THIS!"
>She launches her tool at your chest
>You wince and feel a rush of pain sear through your-
>Wait
>No you don't.

12/?

>Glance at the scalpel
>Twilight is dumbfounded
>She slowly raises it from you
>The end is bent at a 90 degree angle.
>"Uhhh"
>You peer at your chest
>Your natural armour has a small scratch on it, but nothing too major
>"Don't worry! I can fix this!"
>She levitates all her tools and slams them into your chest
>The wind gets knocked out of you, but the same effect happens
>Your armour now has a large dent in it. But all of Twilight's tools are useless
>"UUGH! Why isn't this working?! I don't have much time... Come on, just, like, get rid of your armour!"
>Twilight starts pleading with you
>"Pleeeeease? Just pull back the chest piece or something!"
Why don't you do it?
>Sandy, you're a fucking moron
>Twilight's eye widen and she gives you a look similar to that of a child that realises that the circle shaped block goes into the circle shaped hole
>"...Oh."
>You let out a cry as Twilight starts to tug at your armour with her magic
>"Oh wow! This is much easier!"
I AM IN GREAT PAIN RIGHT NOW!
>"Fascinating!"

>You are Anon
>The library is in sight
>But unfortunately, Fluttershy somehow managed to get out of the hole you punted her in
>Like she has wings or something
>Look behind you and see Fluttershy flying after you, with tears in her eyes
>"Please, Anon! Just give me a chance! I'll love you better than that monster ever could!"
>Ignore her and carry on running, the yellow demon desperately trying to catch up with you
>"Anon, PLEASE!"
FUCK OFF, FLUTTERSHY!
>You shoulder barge the front door to the library open, Fluttershy in hot pursuit
>Literally, hot pursuit. She's leaking everywhere. It's like if a snail took flight.
>You hear a sharp cry come from the door leading to Twilight Sparkle's Wonder Emporium and basement
>Go to open it
>The door rattles, the locks on the other side barring you from your prize
TWILIGHT. OPEN THIS DOOR RIGHT NOW!
>A moment passes
>Hear a familiar voice answer you
>"Twilight told me to be quiet so that you'll think that we aren't down here!"
>God dammit, Sandy. You can't even be held captive properly

13/?

>Speaking of Sandy
>You are her
>And she is you
>And you also have a large knife stuck in your chest since Twilight tore off your chest plate with magic
>It kinda hurts
>But you aren't too worried. Changeling regeneration is good at solving issues like this.
>"This is amazing! Your body keeps healing everything through everything I do to it!"
>She removes the knife and you both watch as the wound closes itself, leaving a faint scar behind
>You look at the purple prodder, now giggling gleefully with her nasty knife
>Anon would be proud of your alliteration skills
>Speaking of which-
>"TWILIGHT I WILL RIP THIS DOOR OFF ITS HINGES IF YOU DON'T OPEN IT RIGHT NOW!"
>Twilight calls back
>"Don't worry, Anon! I'll return her soon, I just need to test out a few more things!"
>She stabs your chest again
>It heals back up when the knife is removed
>You feel sort of dizzy
>Must have something to do with all your powers relying on love and Twilight is unknowingly draining you of your reserves for her own scientific curiosity and soon she'll probably kill you because you won't be able to regenerate anymore once you run out.
>...
>You really should have mentioned this before she started getting stab-happy
Uhh, I think you should know that-
>Stabbed
Ow-... I really can't keep this up all d-
>Stabbed
OW. Twilight, I am being totally serious at this moment in ti-
>Stabbed
Ugh...
>Twilight eventually gets bored of stabbing you and moves on to greater things
>"Now, some ponies -might- consider this inponeane, but I think that it will further our understanding of your species even more!
>She holds up a tool
What's that?
>"It's a hammer, hacksaw, spanner, screwdriver, pneumatic drill, giant foam hand and a toothbrush all welded together!"
What does it do?
>"Who knows? Let's find out!"
>She raises it over her head with magic, preparing to slam it down on you

14/?

TWILIGHT!
>You slam a fist against the door, glaring at it while you listen to Twilight's giggling from inside
>Fluttershy gently taps your shoulder
>"Umm, Anon? If you're too tired now from hitting that door... C-can you maybe love me for a little while?"
>Turn to face her so fast you fear you might have broken your spine
Fluttershy. I will destroy everything you ever loved if you say one more god damn thing.
>"B-but I love you! Are you really going to destroy yourself?"
>Stare at her
>Not because of what she just said, but because you just had an amazing idea
Hey, Fluttershy. How hard is your skull?

>"I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS, ANON!"
TOUGH SHIT.
>"W-WHY DID YOU THINK THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA?"
>Grin manically at the pony under your arm and back at the door at the other side of the room
I SAW THIS IN A MOVIE ONCE.
>Charge towards the door, holding Fluttershy like a battering ram
>She screams in terror as you collide with the door
>The locks are shattered and the door flies open, the momentum carrying you forwards and down the stairs before you
>Fluttershy bounces down the steps with you and lands in a heap at the bottom
>Stand up groggily
>Sandy's tail starts wagging when she sees you
>"Greetings, Anonymous! Nice of you to drop on by!"
>She grins toothily at you
>"T-that was a joke-"
Stop talking, Sandy.
>"Okay..."
>Turn to Twilight, who is laughing nervously
>"Heeey! Anonymous! I hope you don't mind but uhh, Good ol' Sandy here was just helping me gather data! Right, Sandy?"
>Sandy smiles and says in a rather chipper tone
>"She kidnapped me and stuck knives in me! It wasn't as fun as I had originally anticipated. Oh, and also this thing!"
>You look at Sandy's chest
>A creation of unparalleled uselessness is wedged in her chest
Sandy why is your chest plate missing?
>"Twilight took it!"
Twilight why are you pulling body parts off Sandy?
>"Uhhhh-"
And lastly, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING TO MY CHANGELING?
>"Oh! Oh! Is that me?"
SHUT UP, SANDY!
>"Apologies!"
>Twilight backs further away from you
>You start to close the distance between you both
>"Anon? I swear to Celestia this was a mistake! Why don't we just-"
>Grab her mane and pull her face closer to yours
Tell me everything.
>"Uhhh, I'd rather- FLUTTERSHYDOITNOW!"

15/?

>Without you realising, Fluttershy had plucked the... 'thing' out of Sandy's chest
>She throws it at you, apologising before and after doing so
>Nimbly dodge it, letting go of Twilight in the process
>Twilight aims her horn at the roof of the basement and fires a purple beam at it
>The ceiling explodes, showing you in dirt and wood
>Fluttershy grabs Twilight and starts to ascend, slowly.
>Really slowly
>Twilight shakes a hoof at you while she gets carried out of the basement via her Fluttercopter
>"I'll get you, Anon! And your little Changeling too!"
>She cackles in a way similar to a saturday morning cartoon villain and disappears out the hole in the roof
>Sigh and turn to Sandy
>She makes cute chirping noise
>Then sprays acid all over her bindings
>Watch as the green goop melts through the restraints
But... Couldn't you have done that before?
>"Don't be foolish, Anon! Then she would have figured out I was a Changeling!"
>She raises a hoof to the side of her mouth and her eyes dart side to side before she whispers at you
>"I think I got away with it!"
>You stare at your 'partner', who is missing a large piece of carapace from her chest and covered in green blood, as well as being in full insectoid mode
>She stares back, determined to win the sudden staring contest you're both having
>Eventually she gets bored and takes flight, her hole-covered wings carrying her over to you
>She hugs you tightly, then looks up at you, her soft blue eyes still as innocent to her surroundings as the first day you saw them
>"Shall we go home? I bet you're kinda hungry!"
You were just... Dissected. Alive. Don't you want to rest?
>"Not at all! I'll be fine as long as you still like me!"
Of course I like you, Sandy. Why wouldn't I?

>Follow her in silence up the stairs
>"Little dragon! Little dragon! Are you home? I sure do hope that vore is your fetish!"
