>It was high noon, but the large poofy clouds in the sky gave a nice amount of shade. It's been a nice week since the posession.
>The cafe you were at was pretty rockin' too. Several ponies were performing a light song in the background
"So you don't do kissing with girls?"
>You take a sip of your soda. Rainbow raised an eyebrow and leaned back. "Uhh, I don't think that's--"
"What are you? A faggot?"
>Fluttershy locks up. "A-Anon, does that word have a different meaning where you came from?"
>You start to respond, before an excited squee escapes from somewhere off to your left.
>"Girls!" Twilight prances closer. You duck under the table, and she stops in place and looks to Dash. "U-um, is everything okay?"
"Rainbow you stupid bitch don't sell me out like this"
>"Fluttershy? Anon?" Twilight glanced down, and then back to Rainbow, who merely shrugged.
>Fluttershy quickly popped up and grinned, placing her front hooves on the table "Ahem, good afternoon, Twilight!"
>"Ah, Fluttershy! Great! I have good news!"
>You fist-pump into the air.
"Alright! So when do we get our horn?!"
>Twilight sighed and sat down. "I wasn't turning you into a princess the last 5 times we spoke, I'm not going to now."
>You stick your bottom lip out. You really wanted to try casting spells.
>She scratches her chin. "Although...I suppose I could get you a horn if you want one."
>What
>Fluttershy laughs nervously and shrinks. "What?"
>She grins and claps her hooves together in excitement. "Well, I've found a way to end the posession without Anon passing on!"
>"If you would just follow me to my study, we can begin!"
 
 
 
 
>After calling over the waiter and paying, you begin again the walk to the castle.
>Dash sighs, walking next to you. "I'm still hungry."
>"You didn't have to come, Rainbow! But I am very thankful." Fluttershy leaned her head onto Dash's shoulder
>Damn, you feel cute.
>Once you enter, Twilight opens a book, and waves you over. Dash rolls her eyes.
>"Well uh, I'm sure that's great and all, but I can't hardly read all that mumbo jumbo."
>She floats off, looking at the various curios around the study.
>Twilight huffs. "Well, just make sure not to touch anything!"
>She turns her attention back to you, and points at the book. "You see, I've realized the mistake I made with the spell!
>"It's meant to seal a spirit into a special object. And I just so happen to have such a object with me now!"
>She turns the page and points at a diagram of a jar. "This was a old contraption created by Starswirl the Bearded."
"Uhhh, thanks, but I don't want to be a jar."
>You scratch the back of your head, and Twilight chuckles. "Yes, but with Pinkie's help, I've found a alchemical solution!"
>She turns around, pointing at a common cookie jar. "Using knowledge of Changelings, I've found a way to, well..."
>You notice the jar was spinning for a moment, as if just moved. Rainbow turns, with a nervous grin.
>Twilight continues. "Basically, I can turn the jar you are contained in, into a pony, of any kind!"
>You start bouncing up and down in excitement.
"Shit, yeah! Changeling jar? Let's do this!"
>Fluttershy is happy for you as well, though holds some reservations.
>'We'll still be...together, right?'
>You project your joy internally.
'Of course! And we'll be able to do all sorts of fun stuff!'
>She obviously doesn't get the connotation you were trying to give, but that's okay.
 
 
 
>Twilight nods. "Right, Rainbow, if you just stand back, I will be able to cast the spell! Easily, now that I've done it before."
>Rainbow Dash has several beads of sweat trailing down her face, and steps back
>You don't catch on to this. You're kind of dumb that way. Twilight merely jestures, like the mary sue she is, and it is cast
>You feel your ghostly presence leave the warm cuddlyness that is Fluttershy's body, and floats into the jar
>However, as it enters, you are suddenly spit out.
>"Oh dear." Twilight mumbles. "That's not supposed to happen."
>You float in the air, completely disorientated after being so used to following physical laws
>tfw formless
>what are we doing here
>what is anyone doing here?
>ow.
>this really hurts.
>Twilight walks to the jar and looks in. "What?! It's not supposed to be empty!" She turns to the three of you
>Rainbow lets out a chuckle and sits down. "Yeeah, about that--"
>As soon as she opens her mouth, she starts to glow, and is connected by an ephemeral link to your presence
>You are quite suddenly sucked via ghostbustin' beam into her, and find your senses completely missing for a moment
>You open your eyes, suddenly everything you see and feel brighter and more intense than it was a minute ago
>You notice a strand of red hair in your vision
>And orange
>And yellow
>Now all you see is red. It's probably because you're really angry. Or dying. Maybe both?
 
 
 
 
"I swear to David Bowie if I look in the mirror and I am a one-pony pride parade I'm going to eat my own face."
>Twilight and Fluttershy are silent, the former expressionless and the latter on the ground hiding behind her hair
>You suddenly feel a lot like a carpet muncher
>'What the hay did you say about me?!'
>You start chewing on your cheek
>It hurts, so you stop, and Rainbow raises her hoof to her face. "Ah, what the heck?! What'd you do that for?"
>Twilight sighs. "Sweet Celestia...Right. I'm getting Pinkie."
>She walks out of the room, leaving your dumb ass inside the bigger dumbass
>Before you can complain more, you're knocked down into a large hug between Fluttershy and the floor
>"Oh, Anon, I'm so glad you're okay!"
>Rainbow pushes her off. You were enjoying that. "Hey, what about me?!"
"Oh, Rainbow, nothing could happen to you. We're not that lucky."
>It's going to be a long day.
"What made you think eating an ancient lich jar's contents would be a good thing?!"
>"It looked like cookies, alright?! It didn't taste like them, but by then it was too late."
>You realize if Pinkie had a hand in this, she probably would make it look like a cookie. Fine, you let her off the hook for that
>You know you would have done the same, don't act like you wouldn't've.
>Well, it could have been worse, you could have been stuck in
>...Uhhh...
>Diamond Tiara. Yeah, that would have been a bigger pain.
>You immedietly feel regret for tempting the universe, and hope it doesn't come back to bite you
>You deeply sigh, and both of you are quiet for a moment, letting your tempers cool down.
"So. What we gonna do?"
>Rainbow slowly straightens up. "Well, we need to bring in a storm for tonight. Other than that, not much."
>You nod, and Fluttershy fidgets, rotating her hooves together. You give her a winning smile and a thumbs up
>Haha. You just realized you don't have thumbs
>Fuck being a pony.
"Don't worry, Flutters! This'll be over before you know it."
>She smiled back. "T-thank you, Rainbow." Your smile drops.
"If you ever confuse me with that monochomatic standstill again I'm filing for divorce."
 
 
 
 
>Fluttershy squeaks and hides her face again, and you chuckle and pat her on the head.
>"Divorce?!" Rainbow pulls back, "What are you talking about?"
>Yellowquiet diverts her eyes, and all is quiet from a moment. Huh, Rainbow hasn't been mindreading you much
>Maybe Fluttershy is just better suited to being the thought police. Or it has something to do with how much she cares.
>You shrug. I dunno.
>With all your training and practice, you focus your insight into her mind
>'When's the gay bar open?'
>'GOTTA GO FAST'
>'Im gona do a fukeng snonic raimboom'
>You cover your mouth with your hooves to stop yourself from laughing. You didn't actually directly read her mind
>But your inner prick is never far off.
>Except when he is. Which is more often than not
>But you're a betting man, and you like those odds.
>Once again, you wonder why you don't have friends
>"H-hey, is everyone ignoring me?!" Rainbow puffs out her wings. Flutters waves her hooves slightly from side to side
>"Not at all, Rainbow Dash!"
>"Well, good!" The specular quickness replied, pouting slightly. What an asshole.
>You wonder why she has friends. What has she got that you don't got?!
>Well, a corporeal body, for one.
>It's not healthy to think about these things. You can almost feel Fluttershy chiding you, even though you're not connected
>You suddenly realize you feel a lot more alone than you're used to. Even with the shared mind, you lost the familiarity
'Hey, uh, Rainbow...Let's try to get along. For Flutters' sake?'
>Rainbow takes a deep breath and nods. "Alright, sounds good."
>Fluttershy's ears twitch in curiosity, and your heart leaps. Damn. Just, damn.
'Rainbow, you know we can speak using our inside voices, right?'
>"What do you mean? How are you doing that?"
'Just--just think hard. you can do it.'
>She scrunches her eyes and puts her hooves to her temples. "Is it working?"
>Adorable. In a pitiful kind of way.
>"Don't patronize me! I can do this!"
