Chapter 6 Funhouse Mirror.

Silverstream looked out over the side of the ship. The rolling reds that decorated the Macintosh hills had long since given way to deep greens and browns.

“Hi Silverstream.” She turned to see Autumn blaze walk up next to her.

“Oh, Hi Autumn.” Silverstream turned to look back over the side of the ship.

“What'cha doing?”

“See that tree over there.” Silverstream pointed out ahead to a massive leafless tree towering above the rest of the green foliage. Autumn nodded and Silverstream continued, “That's the Hayseed Bog airdock. I've gotten to see the ship leave a dock but I've never seen it land before.”

Autumn grinned, “Me neither, can I watch with you?”

Silverstream nodded emphatically, “sure!” The two of them jovially peered over the side of the ship at the three hoops the ship uses to moor itself to docks. Several minutes went by with little or no change until a wooden dock supported by the huge tree trunk came into view. The ship descended a bit and the hoops started going past three claws. Before the ships could descend any further, however; the claws snatched the hoops up with a loud clang. As soon as the ship was secure the plank the ship uses to allow entry and exit extended and connected with the dock.

“Wow... that's awesome.” Autumn smirked.

Both Silverstream and Autumn turned at the sound of a megaphone crackling. “Attention passengers. We've now arrived at the Hayseed Bog station. We'll be staying here for about a day, in the meantime feel free to enjoy the Hayseed bog theme park.”

“A bog theme park... How does that work?” Autumn cocked an eyebrow.

“I have no idea.” Silverstream grinned and clenched her talons. “Wanna find out together.”

“I don't see why not?” Autumn closed her eyes and smiled.

Just before Autumn and Silverstream went down the ramp a puff of smoke moved in front of Silverstream and a scroll materialized from it.

“What's that?" Autumn tilted her head.

Silverstream eagerly reached out and grabbed the scroll. “Misty responded to my letter.” Silverstream read over the letter. “Oh, You should hear this.”

Silverstream cleared her throat, “Dear Silverstream. I've informed Wildfire of miss Blaze's desire to meet with her. Unfortunately everypony here at the office has been bogged down in the procurement of my item; which is why it has taken me till now to write you back. Wildfire is doing some fact finding for me in Canterlot so it might be some time before she can write miss Autumn.” Silverstream put down the letter. “I'm sorry there isn't better news Autumn.”

“Are you kidding?” Autumn grinned some more. “My best friend from when I was little is still alive, and she's going to write me. I couldn't be more delighted.” Autumn extended her left foreleg out. “Let's go have some fun at the bog park Silverstream.”

Silverstream eagerly took Autumn's hoof and went down the ramp with her.

Silverstream and Autumn blaze stood in the middle of a large clearing in the bog. There were all kinds of booths everywhere filled with games and other small-time attractions. The only proper ride that rose above everything else was a small Ferris wheel in the far end of the clearing.

“So, what do you wanna do first?” Autumn grinned

Silverstream looked around the park before her eyes settled on a building with an enormous mirror mounted above it.

“How about that.” Silverstream pointed.

Autumn nodded, “Sounds good to me.”

The two of them trotted over to the building and roused a sleeping stallion sitting by the entrance. After he snorted at being suddenly woken up, he started. “Ahh, welcome to the house of mirrors. I'm guessin you two wanna go inside.” Silverstream and Autumn nodded. “Well, it's five bits per pony we even have a special surprise mirror at the end.” With a grin, Silverstream handed ten bits to the stallion. “Thank ya very kindly miss. You two have fun.”

Silverstream followed Autumn into the house of mirrors. The entire corridor was lined with all kinds of mirrors, and Silverstream found it hard to contain her excitement.

“Hey look I'm tall.” Autumn called out. Silverstream rushed over and giggled at the sight of Autumn's reflection stretched out by the curvy funhouse mirror. 

She flew over to another mirror and saw her reflection distorted, so she looked like a squat ball. “Look at me, look at me.” Silverstream pointed at her reflection. “I'm a buckball.” Autumn chuckled before going to another mirror that made her look super wide. The two of them made their way through the hallway filled of mirrors stopping to laugh at their funny reflections all along the way. Eventually, the two of them found themselves in a room with a lone mirror. The mirror itself was a fairly ordinary looking mirror aside from what looked like a simplified carving of discord's head on top. They approached the mirror and frowned at the sight of it being a normal mirror. Silverstream looked long at her reflection in the mirror looking for anything weird but turning up empty.

“I don't get it.” Silverstream cocked an eyebrow.

Autumn leaned up close to a plaque mounted at the bottom of the mirror. “It says: chaos mirror, it will reflect what you want to see.”

Silverstream turned back to the mirror and pondered that. What she wanted to see? Well, she knew she was due for a growth spurt over the next year or two. Maybe the mirror can show her what she'll look like when she's fully grown. Silverstream's eyes went wide as she saw the reflection in the mirror start growing and growing. When the growing stopped, her reflection had completely transformed into a fully grown version of herself. “Woah, check it out Autumn blaze can you see that?”

Silverstream looked over to see the mane of Autumn looking over at her new reflection. “I see it Silverstream, you're enormous.”

Silverstream grinned, “Stick around enough and you'll get to see that for real, I'm gonna look like that in a few years.”

Autumn's eyes went wide. “Hippogryphs actually get that big?” Silverstream nodded. “That's amazing.” Silverstream watched Autumn's reflection shift and change again until it had become a hippogryph with Autumn blaze's head and mane style.

“Woah, you're a hippogryph too.”

Autumn brought a hoof to her chin, and the reflection mimicked her. “I just thought what I might look like if I was a hippogryph. It seems like the mirror can read your mind.” Silverstream looked more and more at hippogryph Autumn in the mirror. She was super hot and Silverstream couldn't get images of her kissing the hippogryph out of her mind. Silverstream blushed as her grown up reflection roped Autumn's reflection into a passionate kiss. Autumn blaze's eyes widened, and she blushed as well, “Umm what's going on?”

Silverstream frowned. “I'm sorry Autumn; it's just... your reflection looks hot and.” She trailed off.

Autumn smirked. “Well. If that's the case then.” Autumn closed her eyes and the mirror shifted again showing Silverstream as a kirin making out with Autumn as she normally looks.

Silverstream blushed and giggled. “Oh, seems fair I guess.”

“Do you think I'm cute?”

Silverstream nodded, “you bet Autumn, I genuinely love that mane of yours it's so fluffy.”

Autumn giggled, “aww thanks, the pink goes well with your eyes.”

“Thank you Autumn, so do you think anypony else you think is cute?”

“Well there's my friend Cinder glow. I used to have all kinds of fantasies about hooking up with her when I was exiled from the village.” Autumn's reflection shifted to show a kirin with dark brown fur and a green mane kissing kirin Silverstream.

“Oh I see what you mean.” Silverstream giggled, “She's got nice teats.”

“Yep she's certainly packing down there. What about you? I remember you told me about a friend of yours turning into a girl. Can I see him as a her?” Silverstream nodded and pictured Gallus as a female gryphon. Within moments her kirin reflection shifted to match Gallus when he was female at the water park, red bikini and all. Autumn looked over the gryphoness in the mirror. “Wow he looks just like Giselle but he's got a better ass on him than she does.”

“Yeah but he changed back and now he's dating my friend Ocellus.” The mirror shifted Autumn's reflection into Ocellus all the while still making out.

“What's wrong?” Autumn blaze inched closer to Silverstream.

“It's just.” Silverstream sighed, “everyone is getting together but I'm all alone. I was kinda hoping my penpal would be interested, but she said a relationship with her would only end in disaster.” The mirror changed again to show Silverstream's approximation Misty feather making out with her.

Autumn sighed, “I kinda know how you feel. Cinder glow is married to a handsome stallion and most of the kirins back home aren't that interested in me. I've slept around with a few stallions and mares but it's never worked out.”

"Maybe you could try hooking up with Giselle? We had had fantastic sex before you got on the ship." The reflection morphed again to show what Giselle and Silverstream were doing when they first hooked up yesterday.

Autumn shuffled her hoof. "Hmm I don't know I kinda had somepony else in mind."

Who could this somepony else be? Ever since Silverstream had heard about Autumn's bisexuality, she wondered if Autumn would be interested in escalating their friendship. Both of them turned to see their reflections were back to normal, but they were in the throes of a passionate kiss. “I'm sorry Autumn, my mind got away from me.” Autumn scratched the back of her head.

Autumn smirked. “It's ok... I was just about to apologize for thinking the same thing.”

Silverstream inched closer to Autumn. “So, do you wanna do that in real life?”

Autumn reached out and grabbed Silverstream's left talon. “I thought you'd never ask.”

the two of them departed the hall of mirrors holding eachother's hooves and talons.
