chapter 9 The final meeting (epilouge)

Several minutes had passed since Gallus and Ocellus had found Wildfire. The waves lapped against the beach as the full moon's light reflected off the beach sand.

"You've gone through considerable effort to find me Gallus. At least five separate ponies told me that you were looking for me." Wildfire started.

"My friends have been helping me look for you, listen." Gallus shuffled his talon on the ground. “I need your help.”

Wildfire nodded. “I'll help you once you answer an important question. I know your name from other ponies but how is it that you come to know who I am?”

“You see miss Wildfire. I umm accidentally took your drink at the juice bar. I'm sorry it was an accident.”

Wildfire held up her hoof, “You don't need to continue Gallus, the rest is as plain as the day to me. I put a potion in my drink to enhance a woman's feminine features. I'm guessing you got shocked at having your best features enhanced and wanted to ask me what was going on.”

“Actually...” Ocellus looked down towards the ground. “Gallus is a guy... your potion turned him female.”

Wildfire's eyes went wide. “Oh, I did not expect that. My friend gave me this potion. She never expected a man to consume it.”

“Please,” Gallus grasped Wildfire's leg. “Get your friend to give me the antidote. I can't take this anymore!”

“I'm sorry Gallus, but there's no antidote.” Gallus drooped to the ground. Wildfire shook her head. “You misunderstand Gallus. The reason there isn't an antidote is because it's a temporary potion.”

“Really?” Gallus perked up.

Wildfire nodded. “The potion only functions as long as it's in your bloodstream. Once you excrete the potion in a week or two your male features will likely return at the same rate you lost them.”

Gallus felt his heart soar, “you mean I'm only gonna be stuck like this for a few weeks?!   Yes!" Gallus happily bounced around the beach.

“Hold on, you said likely. Does that mean that Gallus might not change back at all?” Ocellus interjected leading to Gallus stoping dead in his tracks.

“It's always possible. Like I said this potion isn't supposed to be consumed by a man, you should be great full it didn't just kill you. In the event that you don't return to your former state take this.” Wildfire levitated a small golden medallion from a pouch she was carrying.

With an outstretched claw, Gallus seized the medallion from Wildfire's aura.“What's this?”

“I know what that is.” Ocellus interrupted. “It's a magic mail medallion. Princess twilight covered it in our history of Equestria class."

"What does it do?" Gallus cocked an eyebrow feigning ignorance.

"It's what Princess Celestia and Princess Twilight use to letters to each other with spikes fire breath.” Ocellus smiled.

Wildfire nodded, “indeed, this magic medallion is bound to my friend. It's how I communicate with her from far away. It's all yours to have I'll simply get another one from her when I meet with her later.”

“So if I don't change back to normal, I just send her a letter right?" Gallus cocked his head.

Wildifre nodded. “I'm confident she'd be able to whip up an antidote to the potion if you don't revert to normal. Plus she gets somewhat lonely and would love to have a new penpal.”

“Hey you!” A voice called out. Everypony looked up and saw Silverstream land right beside Wildire.

“You're Wildfire right?” Silverstream pointed to Wildfire.

Wildfire nodded, “Yes I am.”

“Thank Celestia I found you. You see my friend Gallus accidentally took your drink, and it had this crazy effect on him. Could you come with me, he could really use your help.” Silverstream put on her best puppy dog stare.

“I already did... whoever you are.”

Gradually, Silverstream's eyes made her way over to Gallus, “Hi Silver,” Gallus waved.

Silverstream turned to Gallus. “Oh, so is she gonna change you back?”

“She can't.” Gallus said only to have Silverstream rush and hug him.

“I'm so sorry Gallus. I'm here for you no matter what. Hey, maybe you me Ocellus Smolder and Yona can have a girls night out to help you adjust or something?”

“I like the sound of that.” Ocellus giggled.

Gallus blushed, “what! No way. This is only a temporary potion I'll be back to normal in a week or two.”

“Oh... that's awesome.” Silverstream hugged Gallus tighter.

“I'm still up for that girl's night out.” Ocellus smiled.

“Sure Ocellus if that's what you want.”

“Yay,” Silverstream roped Ocellus into the hug.

“I'd best be going. My friend is expecting me back, if I don't leave promptly I'll be late in meeting her.”

“Bye Wildfire we'll write you if something goes wrong.” Ocellus waved.

“Before I go though, might I ask your friend's names Gallus.”

“Oh, that's Ocellus.” Gallus pointed to Ocellus. “And that's Silverstream,” Silverstream waved.

“It's an honor to meet you both... Anyways I absolutely must be going farewell.”

“Bye.” Everypony said as Wildfire went off into the darkness of the night. Eventually, Silverstream let them go from the hug.

“Well, glad we got that sorted.” Gallus dusted himself off.

Ocellus smooched Gallus's cheek, “and I'm glad we finally got ourselves sorted.”

Gallus smiled and nuzzled Ocellus. “So am I”

“Wait? You and Ocellus?” Silverstream pointed. Ocellus and Gallus nodded. Silverstream squealed. “That's awesome congratulations.” Silverstream resumed hugging them.

Gallus was happy, not because he was going to be a man in a few weeks but because he was close to Ocellus. No matter what happened as long as he spent spring break with Ocellus he would have a pleasant vacation.
