>You really wish she would stop talking.
>It's becoming quite the skeptical as well.
>No matter how many words come out of her mouth, they just.. keep... coming...
>"And Zecora's house or hut thingy was so cool, I thought I could climb all~ the way to the top, so I did, and it was like woah! but then I saw some ornaments and it just caught my attention you know? So I just started dangling them and pawing at them, it was so fun! You should really try it Anon! Oh oh and then uhm... actually I won't get into that part, but your fur was so comfortable, it was like a cozy furry bed that I just wanted to lie in all day..." She slowly lays on the ground in front of you and promptly falls asleep, like a mime showcasing an act.
>But it doesn't last long as she quickly jumps back up and cradles the slime in her hoof once more. "Oh you should have felt it, it was like bliss on my fur~ Oh I could have just melted!"
"I thank you for the summary of past events Elune, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to cut you short."
>Elune looks at you with a very visible pout. "And why not?"
"Because we're here."
>You point to the giant crystal castle in front of the three of you, which makes Elune's eyes widen. "This is the castle!? It's so big and sparkly and-" you place a hoof on her muzzle, causing her to stop, as well as scrunch up.
"You can sight-see after I'm done informing Spike. In fact, you can help."
>"Mmmm~ but I wanna-, wait I can help?"
>Guess her curiosity is working against her.
>Good, you don't think your ears can take it anymore.
"Yes, given that you your speech is back. I assume that you'd love to talk to Spike of all the past events."
>You thought that she wouldn't want to repeat everything she's said thus far, but her excitement knows no bounds. "Really! Yay! I get to talk more! It's been so long since I've been able to talk and the more I do, the more I never get tired of it!"
>That last part makes you cringe internally.
>But at least the parasite is being past on to a different host.
>You go to knock on the door, but are interrupted as Spike opens them for the both of you.
>"Anon! Where have you been!? Where's Twilight!? Is she OK? And uhhh... who is that?"
"That is Elune. She'll explain everything you need to know."
>Spike tries to further question what is going on, but you interrupt him.
"I'll be heading over to the kitchen, and as of right now, Twilight is at the hospital if you must know her location first."
>Spike becomes more panicked at the new information. "The h-h-h-hospital!?" and this time it's Elune who starts to speak.
>"Yeah! She had to fight these big mean wood wolfies wi- I mean... all by herself! There were lasers too! and it was like PEW POW BLEH!"
>Spike was getting suspicious now, but knowing the speech from earlier, he won't be able to escape.
>So with the threat nullified, you head up the crystal staircase and through the hall towards the kitchen.
>You wonder if Spike got any more shipments.
>Hopefully that was the case.
>You make your way through when you spot something on the table.
>Are those... tissues?
>Lots of tissues.
>In fact, there's a pile of them to the side of the chair.
>Was Spike up all night by chance?
>You'll question it later.
>For now, you head into the kitchen and look around for anything tantalizing.
>Though nothing is out, so you might have to look in the compartments.
>So you start off with the biggest one, the fridge.
>You open it and look around inside.
>Some vegetables lay dormant on the racks as well as milk on the lower end and egg cartons on the high rack.
>Yet no sign of the meat.
>Perhaps it is on a schedule.
>That would make sense to the current predicament.
>Or perhaps Spike was too busy sulking to pick up the shipment.
>You'll ask him about it later.
>For now, these... vegetables will do.
~OH BUT WILL THEY?~
"It isn't meat, but it is edible."
~HMHMHM... SO BE IT, IT WONT MATTER~
"Is a change close?"
~Yes, at the heart it flows, like corruption it will consume~
"I will do what is needed, you need not question further."
>Silence.
>You reach into the fridge, grab a white bush, and take a bite out of it.
>It's... Ok.
>It isn't quite as good as the stew you had, but it still looks like you're able to eat it.
>So you continue to take bites out of the white earth.
>That is until you sense something.
>Turning around, you see nothing in the hall.
>Nothing looks off in the kitchen.
>You still sense it.
>Perhaps you should scout the room out?
>That would have been the best course of action, until you heard an alarming chirp coming from the ceiling.
>Oh, it's just the slime.
>How did it get up here?
>And...
>It just fell on your head.
>How it grew so large is beyond your own comprehension, but now it's shear size is enough to engulf your entire head.
>You try to gently remove the slime from your face, but your hooves only get absorbed into the green mass.
>But it's OK, you don't need to breathe.
>It's just a function your body chooses to do.
>It isn't something you really needed.
>You just want your head back.
>As gently as you can manage, you form tentacles around head, contorting inside the goo until it has covered your entire head.
>The tentacles then position themselves in an escape position, before shooting out and clamping the slime into a gelatinous mass.
>The slime squirms a little inside your grasp, but relaxes itself in the hold of its new cradle.
>The feeling of ooze on ooze makes you feel ecstatic and weird, so you decide to put the slime down onto the kitchen floor.
>The little mass chirps happily and moves closer to you.
>Why did it follow you up here?
>Is it?
>Is it hungry?
>You move the white bush to the side of you, but the slime doesn't budge.
>You then move it to the other side, yet still nothing happened.
>So it isn't hungry.
>Taking another bite out of your meal, you eye it for a few moments more, seeing if it will react to your actions, but all it does is wiggle and distort every few moments, just to grow a few inches in size.
>Nothing seems out of place with it, maybe it's... following you?
>You step back a few feet and watch as the slime moves along with you.
>Oh, so it is just following you.
>Why is it following you?
>Maybe it's attracted to something you have?
>No, that would be the white stuff.
>You don't think it wants the white stuff, but your not entirely sure what it will do.
>You place the white onto the floor and move into the other room.
>And instead of going for the food, it continues to follow you.
>And now you've blocked your only way back into the kitchen.
>Nothing you can't solve.
>You walk around the table in the middle causing the slime to follow you in a circle.
>You return to the kitchen and retrieve your white fluff from the floor and continue eating it.
>Of which you are yet again interrupted as the slime moves closer to you, bumping you and combining with your flank.
>You try to shake it off, but to no avail.
>It has now made itself your tail.
You swish it about with an exceptional force, but the slime is persistent.
>No matter how much force you exert, the slime only absorbs the blow.
>And you can feel it getting heavier by the second.
>You focus on your flank and more tentacles form to squeeze out the slime from your tail.
>The slime tries to hold onto you, but eventually it is pried off.
>A few confused chirps are made by the ever-growing blob as it approaches you again.
>You decide it is best you distance yourself from the over-attached jelly.
>You head over to the table and sit in the middle.
>Soon after, the slime follows, climbing onto the table with you.
>Next you go over to Twilight's seat and with the help of tentacle extensions, go right over the seat to the other side.
>You wait a few moments as you hear it making its way towards the seat before it eventually stops to a halt.
>... Did it work?
>You focus on yourself to form an tentacle's eye and look over to the seat.
>It isn't there.
>You open your eyes a little too late as the ooze lays in front of you at perfect eye-level.
>It isn't going to try to consume your face is it?
>You really don't feel like killing her only pet.
>"Ah!"
>... Elune?
>Did she finish her conversation with Spike?
>"Ah Ah!"
>No, the sound is definitely coming from the slime.
>You watch a few inches from your face as two very definite eyeballs form on the slime's surface.
>Along with a little round muzzle and what looks like a mouth.
>"Ah! Ahnon!"
>... maybe this is just coincidence.
>You did cause Elune to get her voice back.
>But you have no idea how to explain the slime.
>This world is too random for its own liking.
>"Ahnon! Ahnon!"
"... Yes?"
>The slime squees in delight and nuzzles you in the face.
>Of which you are now a part of for a few moments before it retracts itself.
>Maybe this thing is the cause of Elune's hyperactive nature.
>The seem to both have a similar attitude.
>Though, that would be an assumption.
>You'll have to wait and see if it becomes better at speech, because as you think, it's lower body pulses and jiggles, forming what looks like her limbs.
>Also it's a she from what you can assume from the sound the sound of her voice.
>Her body becomes more defined by the second as her hips and shoulders form and her flank shapes up.
>A little amount of it extends to form a thick tail and mane, a bit bigger than Elune's.
>Her arms and legs separate from the main body and solidify, wrapping themselves around you.
>Is she finished?
>Oh, no... some of her back has started to shake profusely.
>In fact, the entire area has started to shake as the slime and goo distorts itself out of her back to form more extensions.
>And now your sure what they are.
>Two well-defined wings, dripping with slime like a glass overfilled with water.
>That's why you didn't see her, she was probably in the treeline above.
>And with her shock absorption, the noise she would make would be nothing at most.
>Almost like that of a cunning predator.
>Perfect for hunting.
>Though now it's looking you as if your her next victim
>Her eyes look half-lidded and her mouth is drooling with snot.
>"Brlghlghfglfgfh."
"Excuse me?"
>"Brglgehrggfhfhblghlhgrgrhgl."
"... OK?"
>You try to move her away from you and surprisingly it works.
>Her new body has become more firm to the touch, but the squishy feeling of jelly is still there.
>But the feeling doesn't last as her hooves pull you towards her, effectively absorbing yours into her body.
>You try to pull your hooves out, but her new body constricts against it, only causing you to pull her closer onto you.
>As far as you know, she's enjoying every moment of this.
>At least that's what you think the grin plastered across her face is for.
>She notices and... giggles? Gurgles would be more appropriate.
>This causes some slight heat to cross your face.
>And that's when you realize it.
>This creature is driving you crazy right now.
>Your trying your best to hold in all the flustered emotions from earlier, and Elune did an alright job to quell them, but this...
>She is single-handed driving you to insane heights of restraint.
>And it doesn't help that her every movement causes her body to do a slight jiggle.
>It does things to you.
>Your not sure if they're good things.
>You form tentacles on your front and belly and push her a good few feet away.
>But she begins to distort through them, causing her body to flow through the tentacles like water, only for her to reform on you and lay on your side.
>The tentacles swiftly follow your gaze, blocking her and pushing her off, but her persistence knows no bounds as she distorts once more.
>This time she reforms between the tentacles locations and hugs you closely causing the tentacles to pause their pursuit.
>The tentacles form suction cups and try to pry her off, but they gain no quarter as they find no resistance on her soft contorting body.
>And now they go into a panicked state to save the host, forming blades and knife extensions and without warning, lunging into her.
>You go wide-eyed for a few seconds, only to realize a second later that nothing happened.
>The tentacles pull out of her in confusion and pause for a few moments only to disperse back into your body.
>You never went into combat against anything like this back on earth.
>The tentacles were probably expecting flesh and blood.
>Unless you will them to your command, they'll go on instinct, operating on past absorbed knowledge and your commands to serve as ways to attack.
>And you do have a few ideas of how to go about this, but as far as you know, this is a sentient creature, so you won't bother.
>You take your now free hooves and move them to her back and try to get a good look at her.
>Other than the tiny nose, the drooling, and the dribble going down her whole face, your guessing she's asleep.
>So she was tired?
>Maybe it required her energy in order to grow back to normal size?
>It would explain her slow movements from her previous form.
>Reaching around to the ground, you twist your body towards the back of the chair you've been leaning on and push yourself forward, causing her to meet face-to-face with your mane.
>You push with your legs and get up, hoisting her up along with you.
>You don't know where she'll sleep, but hopefully she keeps away from your room.
>In fact, the room is almost covered in slime from the top of the ceiling to the table and chairs, and that isn't excluding the floor.
>No, she's most definitely getting her own room.
>Maybe she'll share it with Elune?
>You wonder how Spike is doing downstairs with her.
>He's probably used to it from Twilight's ramblings, but your not sure about the amount of words Elune can say in one go.
>While thinking, you fail to notice that your friend has seeped into your mane.
>Literally.
>Her lower body is still intact, but her upper body has combined with your hair, creating a mixture of green and black.
>You were going to shower anyways.
>You walk through the door and down the hall.
>You can hear a conversation from down the stairs that seems to have really taken off.
>When you turn the corner, you can clearly see why.
>Elune has made her way up the ceiling and is currently dangling from a ledge by one hoof.
>All the while Spike is panicking, trying to position himself the best he can in order to catch her.
>"Yeah! Anon grew at least this high, it was crazy!"
>"That's nice and all Elune, but watch what your doing!"
>Elune looks down at Spike and waves her hoof. "No need to worry silly, I got this under control! Ive done this every day in the forest."
>Spike looks too doubtful to believe that statement as he prepares his body for the worst.
>And the panic has made your entrance quite subtle.
"Elune."
>Her ears perk up on command and looks in your direction. "Anon! How was the snack!"
>Spike turns towards you and his expression is that of hate.
>You dismiss it and instead focus your attention on Elune.
"Come down, your friend is asleep and I don't know what to do with her."
>"Oh! OK I'll be there in just a minute~!" Elune begins her descent down from the ceiling, jumping onto another ledge and using the wall as resistance, jumping onto the chandelier.
>And with little effort, she swings right onto the floor spotless as the chandelier rocks back and forth.
>Spike is stunned to say the least.
>"H-how the... w-what the... ah forget it..." With Spike speechless, all you need to do now is figure out how these two function.
>"Oh yay! She's back to normal!" Elune takes a hold of her friend as if it was a common occurrence and quickly lifts her from your back with relative ease, but the slime only slouches over in her tucked-out state.
>Or more slowly slides out of her grasp and onto the floor.
>Her entire upper body looks like a mess, with slime and distortions everywhere.
>But as far as you can tell, she's still asleep and your mane is still wet.
>"Er uhm... Anon, you don't mind helping me get her somewhere to rest, do you?"
>Somewhere to sleep?
>Where would she sleep?
>There is your room, but you really don't want a rogue slime inside your room at night.
"Spike. Do you know of any rooms in the castle?"
>Spike perks up and looks at the three of you. "Uhhh... Oh! There should be a few rooms down the hall to the right of you two, though they might be a bit dusty since Twilight hasn't found any use in them yet, other than a few side projects that she was planning. I'm sure she wouldn't mind though, I think." Spike ponders for a moment wondering if it would truly be OK for a slime and a filly with the physic of an athlete to use the rooms.
"You heard Spike, Elune. You two get your own rooms. Or share."
>Elune squees in excitement. "Ma-ma-ma-my own room! C'mon sleepy were getting rooms!" Elune has taken the slime like a rag-doll and is now jumping around with her.
>But before they can leave, you interject to their advances.
"Wait Elune. I still need to ask you some questions."
>"Questions? What kind of questions? Will it be like a game or something?" urgh, why is she so energetic.
>It can't be helped.
"Not likely, I need to know what exactly happened to you. And what happened when we were separated. The separation was brief, but it still left enough time for Twilight to nearly lose her life."
>Her expression goes from cheery to straight horror in two seconds flat.
>"O-Oh I uhm... maybe this can go on later? I kinda wanna look at my new ro-"
>Before she can start her expected sprint away, you grab her with your protruding force.
"I do hope you answer truthfully."
>Her audible gulp tells you she will.
>You'll have to make sure.
>Nothing will do this to your mother again.
