A/N: A continuation of Interlude: Sunbutt, part 2.

"...not a word," I growled at the pair of gaping alicorns, the sound of my feminine voice causing my already bad mood to worsen. Glancing away from the pair, I turned my attention to the table instead.

Reaching out a hand, I grabbed a piece of toast off of the serving plate. Spreading some jam across it, I bit into it, chewing angrily. Closing my eyes, I tried to ignore Celestia and Twilight, who were still staring at me in shock.

After a few minutes, I heard Celestia clear her throat. "Um..."

"Not a word," I repeated, not opening my eyes as I took another bite of toast.

"But—"

"Nah!"

"Just—"

"Nah!"

"If you'd just—"

"NAH!!!" Opening my eyes, I glared at Celestia. "Not. A. Word." Silence fell over the dining area again as I tired my attention back to my breakfast. Only the sound of my chewing could be heard as both alicorns continued to stare at me. I just ignored them to the best of my ability, trying to focus instead on my slightly burned piece of toast.

Finishing it off, I reached for another piece and proceeded to smother it with jam as well. As I raised the food to my mouth, the silence was broken again, this time by Twilight.

"Um... why don't you have any pants on? Or underwear for that matter?" Pausing, I just stared at the toast in front of me for several seconds before answering.

"I don't want to talk about it," I grumbled before taking a huge bite out of the toast.

"Did something bad happen?" Twilight pressed on, tapping her hooves together nervously. Slowly, I turned my head to stare at her, then glanced down at my chest that was now protruding more than it should have been. When I returned my gaze back to Twilight, she was blushing slightly, her ears folded against her head. "I mean, besides the obvious."

"I don't want to talk about it," I repeated, returning to my breakfast.

"I promise not to laugh." Closing my eyes, I sighed heavily before hanging my head.

"I woke up with a full bladder and was halfway to the bathroom when I saw myself in the mirror, and my reflection startled me."

Twilight stared at me with a blank expression for several seconds before her eyes widened in understanding. "Oh... ooooooooooh." She placed a hoof over her mouth, and it took me a few seconds to realize that she was trying to hold in her laughter.

Growling in annoyance, I shoved the rest of the toast into my mouth before standing and stalking off.

"No, wait," Twilight called after me. "It's—" snirk "—I'm n-not—heheh—l-laughing at y-y-you!" Ignoring her, I proceed to storm out of the dinning area, slamming the door behind me.

Stalking down the hall of the palace, I growled softly to myself, blowing my new length of hair out of my face. This wasn't the strangest thing that had happened to me since coming to Equestria, but it certainly was one of the tamer ones. That thought didn't stop me from deciding that—even if it took me a lifetime—I was going to get Luna back.

I was so aggravated that I wasn't even watching where I was going, and as I rounded the corner of the corridor, I ran headlong into a pony going in the other direction. With a yelp, we both fell backwards.

"Terribly sorry, darling," the pony said, getting to her hooves. "I must have had my head in the clouds—" Rarity's words died in her throat as her eyes landed on me. She blinked several times, her mouth opening and closing wordlessly.

"...Max?" she asked tentatively when she finally found her voice. I nodded my head and her eyes widened further. They slowly drifted downwards, and a blush crossed her face. "Ah, do forgive me for my rudeness," she continued, "but what happened to you?"

"Luna," I growled, my eyes narrowing. "Revenge for the Tower Prank."

"I see," said Rarity slowly, her gaze still directed slightly downwards. "Is that why you currently have a... well, a..." She trailed off, her blush intensifying as word failed her.

Confused as to what she was getting so flustered about, I glanced down as well. My eyes widened and I gasped loudly when I realized that I was lying on the ground with my legs spread wide open, giving Rarity a clear view of my new... private parts.

Quickly sitting up, I closed my legs and covered myself with my hands, my cheeks turning bright red.

"S-sorry," I stammered, unable to look Rarity in the eye. "I'm... I'm not used to this body."

"That's quite alright dear," Rarity said absentmindedly, still staring downwards, even though there was nothing to see. Her voice lowered as she added, "By the looks of it, there's certainly nothing for you to be ashamed about." Her brow furrowed for a brief moment before she shook her head to clear it.

Glancing back up at my face, she gave me a confused look.

"Um, dear, I don't mean to pry, but why aren't you wearing anything but a shirt?" she asked. My blushed deepened, and I groaned softly.

"Because all the other clothing I have is... dirty, and I have nothing else to wear," I grumbled. I froze, perking up slightly as I realized who I was talking to.

"Rarity!" I cried, finally looking back at her, a smile spreading across my face. "You can make me more clothing, yes?"

This caused her to blink several times before replying, "I could. I certainly have the supplies here, and it wouldn't take that long, seeing as I've had to fix clothing for you in the past. You certainly get up to a lot of activities that cause horrible wear and tear on your clothing. Yes, I'm pretty sure I can make you some more clothing."

My smile grew, and I silently cheered.

"However..."

I froze, my smile vanishing as Rarity's eyes narrowed and she gave me a sly smile.

"I certainly would be interested in trying something new. After all, I haven't had much of a chance to experiment in female human attire."

I gazed at her in horror as a measuring tape, gripped in her magic, slowly levitated up beside her head. Her sly smirk slowly turned into a bone-chilling smile as she took a step towards me.

"I wonder what you'll look like in a dress..."
