"Okay so that's the plant growth spell completed." Dusk said, writing a check mark next to the words "Plant Growth" on the whiteboard in the library. "Now how's your progress Rune?"

Before turning, there was a loud bang, the sound like something broke. Dusk turned to see that, unlike himself, Rune's plant growth spell went a little overboard. Breaking the pot it was in, and growing to ten times the size of both Dusk and Rune. The plant had several tendrils and a gaping maw.

"Rune!?" Dusk shouted. "What happened?"

"I don't know." Rune replied. "Wait, that's not how it's supposed to be?"

"No Rune." Dusk lectured. "The spell was only supposed to make a seed grow faster...into a flower. What in Celestia's name is that?"

"What?" Rune replied. "What's wrong with it?" The plant was now grabbing books with its tendrils, throwing them into its maw.

"It's eating the books!!!!" Dusk shouted, using his magic to shrink the plant monster back into a seed.

Picking up the seed, Dusk turned to Rune. "Rune." Dusk began his new lecture and scolding. "You can't be irresponsible with your magic like that. Our magical examination is coming up soon, if we don't practice, the Princesses might have us stop our studies......or worse banish us......or even worse......send us back to magical kindergarten!" Dusk was now fantasizing his worst fears, while Rune looked on with a lazy, relaxed look.

"You still have that fear of magical kindergarten." Rune sighed, patting Dusk on the shoulder. "We should be fine. I mean you have so much done." Pointing at Dusk's list of spells; there were several checks. While Rune's list barely had three. "I may have a problem."

"Yeah really." Dusk said. "All you've completed was teleportation, levitation and you kind of made the plant grow, just into some kind of monster."

"Well maybe I'm just tired." Rune said as an excuse.

"No you're lazy and you don't study." Dusk lectured some more. "This is why Princess Luna sent you here. When are you going to learn. you have to read about the spell, its practice and theories before actually attempting the spell."

"Okay okay. I get it. I get it." Rune said. "When are you going to stop lecturing me?"

"When you start listening." Dusk responded.

"Ahem....." Spike interrupted, walking into the room; wearing his little apron and chef hat. "If you both are done, dinner is waiting."

So they ate.

During the night, as everypony slept, Rune was feeling restless. What Dusk said really got to him.

"If you don't learn to study, then you'll never be able to use magic properly." Said the imaginary Dusk.

"I know." Rune replied.

Then he saw an imaginary Dusk with an imaginary Luna wrapped around him. "See." Laughed the Dusk. "If you practiced in magic properly, you could of had her."

"I KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!" Rune shouted, shooting magic blasts at the ceiling.

Calming down, Rune came up with a plan. Slowly making his way to Dusk's room, Rune plotted and planned. Slowly creeping inside Dusk's room. Making his way to the bed, Rune saw a passed out Spike, sleeping so cutie-like in his little basket. And there lay Dusk, all snug and cozy. He had quite the surprise waiting for him.

All that was seen from the outside of the room's window was a large flash of purple light.

The next morning, the whole library was shook with a loud.

"RUUUUNNNEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Rune woke up, quite peacefully and slowly took his blanket off. Slowly got out of bed, casually walked across his room and out his door.

Inside the kitchen was Spike, on his back laughing. While Trixie was making very adorable sounding kiddy noises. And in the center of the room, on the table:

Except not as happy. Dusk was infuriated.

"Rune!" The colt Dusk shouted. "What did you do to me? And Trixie stop that!"

"But I can't help it." Trixie added. "The Great and Powerful Trixie finds her mentor's new appearance sooooo adorable!!!!"

While Trixie was admiring Dusk's young stature, Rune went to his list of spells and marked a check. "Well I'm going to add age reduction to my list, so that makes four spells I've learned."

"I don't care that you learned it......FIX IT!!!!!" The colt shouted.

"Awwww." Trixie's eyes were now sparkling, maybe seeing Dusk as a colt was too much for her. "Is little Dusk cranky? Yes he is! OH yes he is! Maybe it's time for your nap? Want to cuddle with big sister Trixie?"

Rune tapped his hoof on Trixie's horn and she instantly fell unconscious. "I am not dealing with that for an entire chapter." Rune stated. Dusk was relieved to have Trixie silenced.

"So I have good news and bad news." Rune said.

Dusk let out a sigh of discomfort. "What is it?"

"Well the good news is that the spell can be reversed." Rune started. "The bad news is that the book that had the reversal spell was kinda, sorta, halfway eaten by the plant monster I grew yesterday."

If Dusk was his old self, he would be strangling Rune right about now.

"So we are gonna go to somepony who can fix this." Rune smiled, as if he was embarking on an adventure.

"Where? Who?" Dusk asked.

"That zebra Zecora. She might have the answer." Rune was totally enjoying this. "Spike! Stop laughing for a second. I have a job for you."

Spike got to his feet but was still chuckling at the sight of Dusk. "Yes....ahhh..hahaha...what is it?"

"Bring Trixie to her room and make sure she doesn't know where we're going." Rune instructed.

"How am I supposed to stop her from leaving?" Spike interjected.

"Oh that's easy." Rune answered. "I put a suggestion in Trixie's mind. So if she gets tapped on the tip of her horn, she falls right to sleep for several hours."

There was a brief moment of awkward silence.

"Wait, you can do that?" Dusk asked.

"So long as I've hypnotize a pony once, I can put a mental suggestion in you subconscious. All I did was trick her mind into thinking that her body sleeps when her horn is tapped." Rune explained.

"How did you do that?" Spike asked.

"Well I am an illusionist.........so buck logic." Rune didn't want to explain any further.

"Whatever." Dusk impatiently said. "I just want to be back to normal before the examination............OH BUCK THAT'S TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Dusk was now running around in circles panicking.

Rune simply chopped Dusk in the back of the neck, knocking him out.

"Was that another suggestion, but in Dusk's mind?" Spike asked, all excited-like.

"No. Dusk was getting annoying so I chopped him on the back of the neck. That usually knocks ponies out." Rune responded very apathetically.

Using his magic to put Dusk on his back and heading out the door. "Well we'll be off now. Mind the house." Rune said.

"But what will I do if the Princesses show up?" Spike asked.

"I don't know." Rune said. "Stall them or something. See ya Spike."

Before Spike could say anything, Rune left the library.

Not wanting to draw attention, Rune darted from one side of a building to the another, like a ninja pony. Running into somepony he didn't know didn't bother Rune. But there were five other mares who lived in town he didn't want to see Dusk. Looking around the corner, Dusk saw the second pony he didn't want to see today. Leaving the shopping district, there stood Rarity, showing off her newest hat creation. It was frilly with a blending of various shades of whites, blues and purples. The most distinguishable part of the hat was a pattern that looked like two unicorns holding each other in each others hoof.

"Come along Sweetie Bell, we don't have all day." Rarity said to her little sister Sweetie Bell, who was hauling a large cart full of fabrics, mannequins and other boxes of random crap.

"But Rarity..." Sweetie Bell complained. "How does this help me get a cutie mark?"

"Oh Sweetie Bell, my dear Sweetie Bell." Rarity lied. "You could get "The most wonderful Sister" cutie mark."

Sweetie Bell wasn't convinced.

"...................How about your big sister buys you a candy apple on the way home." Rarity resorted to bribery.

"Oh yes yes yes!" Sweetie Bell bounced around all happy. Grabbing the cart, Sweetie Bell found the strength to haul that cart down the road at amazing speeds.

"Okay....well....that just happened." Rune said aloud to himself. Rune made it a few more feet when he felt a shiver. A shiver that shot through his body. It was as if somepony was staring into his soul.

In the distance.....hopping in Rune's direction was the pink terror: Pinkie Pie.

"Oh Celestia this is bad." Rune panicked, ducking Dusk under a bench. Rune then casually sat on the bench, trying to hie the little Dusk with his feet. "If I'm careful, she'll go away."

"HI!!!!!!!!!!!" Pinkie shouted from behind Rune.

"AAHHHH!!!" Rune jumped out of his seat. "Oh hey Pinkie." Composing himself. "What are you doing here?"

"Well I was on my way to Duskie's house." Pinkie started. "Then I realized that I didn't show up anywhere in the Spa Chapter. So I wanted to ask you why that was. Why didn't you involve me?"

"I have no clue what you are talking about." Rune tried to lie. It failed.

"Well I wanted to go to the sauna but when I got there, I saw Rarity and Trixie passed out." Pinkie stated.

"And what's wrong with that?" Rune inquired. "Maybe they just finally came out to each other."

'Guess Dusk made his escape after that?' Rune thought.

"I thought the same thing but there was something wrong." Pinkie said. "They had Dusk's cum all over them."

Don't question how Pinkie knew it was Dusk's nor how she checked to see who's cum it was.

"I see, well I have no idea." Rune replied.

"Okay, I'll head to Duskie's now then." Pinkie said, walking away.

Rune thought he was in the clear.

"Oh and Rune." Pinkie said. "If I ever find out you are lying to me.......I'll bucking make you regret it!"

Okay so now that Pinkie was out of sight.......Rune looked under his seat.....to see that Dusk was gone....

"GONE?! GONE?! WHERE DID HE GO????????????" Rune panicked even more. "Oh why didn't I cut his legs off.....or at least put a bell at him." Rune was running around, looking everywhere. "Where could he of gone?"

At the edge of the Everfree Forest, Fluttershy was tending to her animals. Feeding the critters and singing to the birds. When suddenly Angel Bunny comes running down the grassy lawn, looks like he was carrying a small sack. Whatever was in it, certainly was struggling to get out.

"Oh Angel?" Fluttershy softly inquired, worried about what was in the sack. "What is that you are carrying?"

Angel wasted no time, placing the sack on the ground. Angel untied the sack rope and out came a little Dusk Shine.

"What's going on, let me go!" The colt Dusk shouted, looking around his surroundings.

"Dusk?!" Fluttershy shouted, well not really shouted, it's Fluttershy so her shouts are still relatively quiet. "What happened to you?"

"Fluttershy?!" Dusk's face went all red and he used the sack to cover most of his embarrassed face. "What's going on? I woke up to find myself inside a sack, being carried off to Celestia knows where." Then it dawned on Dusk....again. "OH NO! My examination is today, what am I gonna do??" Dusk then began running in circles, panicking.

Fluttershy's face was in a faint blush. Sure she like or maybe even "loved" Dusk but seeing him as a young colt, well it made her heart race faster, her body felt warmer and she had the urge to just hold him. And that's what she did. Fluttershy wrapped her hoofs around Dusk, holding him in a comforting embrace.

"Fluttershy?" Dusk was confused.

"Shhhh Shhhhh." Fluttershy whispered into Dusk's ear, nuzzling his face and holding him calmly, yet tightly. "I'm here for you. Tell me everything that's bothering you."

Dusk remembers being held like this before. The last time was when he was a little colt and tripped. While trying to solve a simple mathematical problem regarding trajectory with a young Rune, Dusk tripped over a small rock, scrapping his knee. And yes, he did cry. His mother overheard Dusk's cry, raced over and held him inn a loving embrace. Dusk felt calmer with Fluttershy holding him. He felt safe.

Racing up and down the streets of Ponyville, Rune searched and searched and searched. But no sign of Dusk, and time was running out. Looking at the clouds and the sun, Rune made a quick assessment.

"Okay." Rune said to himself, observing the sun and clouds. "Judging by the distance of the sun and clouds, on a scale of one to screwed......" Just then, to his horror, Rune saw the chariot of Princess Celestia. Guess they wanted to come early. "I'm bucked." Rune said, new found panic coming from his voice.

At Fluttershy's house, Dusk was sitting in front of a comfy fire, drinking some hot chocolate. Yeah it's a tad unnecessary, but I'm trying to build a mood here.

"So tell me what happened." Fluttershy said, moving close to Dusk.

Dusk had to use both his little hoofs to lift the mug, taking a sip, Dusk began.

"................................................................................................................................................"

What? You already read what happened earlier. So why should I bother? Moving on............

"I see." Fluttershy replied to Dusk's long story. "Maybe Rune didn't mean to turn you into a colt, maybe he was just joking."

'Fluttershy, you're too nice. That's what I love about you.' Dusk thought. "I don't know, I mean he is working hard I guess, but turning me into a colt is going too far. We have a major examination today." Dusk's eyes began to tear up. "And I can't present myself to Princess Celestia and Princess Luna looking like this."

Aww, Little Dusk is now crying. This stimuli was becoming too much for Fluttershy, the little Dusk was the most adorable thing she's ever seen.

Moving close, holding Dusk close and basically cuddling up. Fluttershy embraced Dusk. "Shhhh Shhhh Shhh It's okay Dusk. Fluttershy is here." Dusk's foal-like stature was bringing something out in Fluttershy that even she didn't know she had.

Without realizing her actions, Fluttershy leaned into the teary Dusk and embraced him further with a kiss. Both their lips locked together in their loving hold.

"Flut...Fluttershy?" Dusk stuttered, it was like his first kiss all over again.

"It's okay Dusk." Fluttershy's face was red, her breathing was heavy and her eyes were looking Dusk all over. She was now in full foalcon mode. Moving her face in, Fluttershy lead another kiss between both ponies. Her larger body pressed against Dusk's smaller frame. Fluttershy's skin felt warm and delicate against Dusk's skin. He couldn't hear her heart beating, he could feel it. As if Fluttershy's very heart was embracing Dusk.

"Fluttershy......"Dusk was short on breath. "I feel funny."

Fluttershy's face turned a darker shade of red, especially since she just felt a little hard bump, poking her inner thigh. Looking down, Fluttershy saw a little penis, only like five inches in length poking and prodding her thigh.

"What is this?" Fluttershy asked. With her hoof started to rub this new object of interest. It was soft, yet getting harder.

"Oh!?" Fluttershy softly shouted. "It's getting bigger, its swelling up."

'Maybe it's hurt?' Fluttershy thought, worrying that she was doing it wrong.

She then looked at Dusk, with a determined look in her eyes. "Don't worry Dusk. I'll take care of it!"

With that, Fluttershy slowly put the colt's slightly throbbing penis in her warm, wet mouth.

"Flu...ttershy?" The little Dusk moaned, he was ready to burst. Being so small must of made him very sensitive.

Fluttershy was getting worried. 'Maybe I'm not doing it right.' She thought to herself. 'I'll have to try harder!'

Like a machine, or at least somepony who has been practicing, Fluttershy bobbed her head up and down the shaft. As she moved her silky mouth up and down, she let her delicate tongue massage the head, then gently caress the shaft.

"Mhhmmmmm.....ahhh....ohhh....FLUTTERSHY!!!!!!!!!!" Dusk screamed as he shot out his load. Despite his small stature, his cock fired a massive quantity of cum.

Fluttershy's eyes rolled back as she gulped down the cum. It was almost too much for her to drink. But she was determined. In several gulps, she swallowed all of it. Dusk collapsed to the ground, while Fluttershy sat there in pure ecstasy.

"Oh Dusk." Fluttershy struggled to say, her mind was almost blank from the pleasure of what just happened. "That was amazing!.............Dusk?" Looking over towards Dusk, he was back to a full grown stallion, or at least the way he was before. Walking over, Fluttershy simple lay next to Dusk, snuggling with his now asleep body.

"Maybe we can continue when you wake up." She whispered as she kissed Dusk's cheek. Fluttershy fell asleep in Dusk's arms, while Angel was nice enough to cover them both with a cozy looking blanket.

"It's so cute and romantic, I think I'll throw up................................Back to Rune..........................................

"What do you mean it wears off with time?!" Rune shouted at Zecora.

After giving up on his ten minute search for Dusk, Rune ran straight to Zecora's hut, within the Everfree forest.

"It is as I say." Zecora spoke. "Other then waiting it out, there is no other way."

"So I worried over nothing?" Rune replied, he felt like he kinda wasted his time worrying over this spell. "But where is he?"

"Be patient Rune." Zecora said, looking into her cauldron within the center of her hut. "We shall find him very soon."

The cauldron bubbled, it steamed and then simmered. Slowly a blurred image came into view. Gently tapping at the water with her hoof, Zecroa clarified the image. Now in a better clarity, the before Rune and Zecora was a sleeping Dusk and Fluttershy, embracing each other.

"Wow." Rune exclaimed. "How accurate is this?"

"The bubbling waters do not lie." Zecora replied. "Dusk has been with Fluttershy."

"This I have to see." Rune said as he galloped out the door, running at full pace to Fluttershy's house.

Flying closer to Ponyville, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna sat upon their chariot, being hauled by two pegasus guards.

"No need to be nervous." Celestia said to Luna, patting her on the back.

"We know sister." Luna replied. "But we have never given any form of examination. And what if Rune is not working hard? What if we have failed as an instructor?"

Celestia gently hugged Luna. "Don't worry about it my dear sister. I'm certain that both Dusk and Rune have been working hard with their studies."

"Oh my Luna!!!!!!!" Rune shouted running towards Fluttershy's house. Jumping over logs and through shallow puddles. "Oh wait!!" Rune stopped running. "I can teleport!" Focusing the magic in his horn, Rune visualized the image he saw in the cauldron. In a bright flash of blue light and a puff of smoke, Rune vanished.

Within Fluttershy's house, Fluttershy was now awake and with the help of Angel, making lunch for her and Dusk. Dusk was still asleep. It would be a romantic meal for those two to share. In a puff of smoke and flash of blue light, Rune appeared in the room.

"Rune??!" Fluttershy shouted. The startle caused her to drop the food she was carrying onto the floor.

"No time to explain." Rune panicked. 'Sexy fun time is over, I need Dusk." In a flash, Rune grabbed Dusk and teleported out of the house.

Fluttershy just stood there, confused over what just happened and saddened that Dusk was just stolen a way from her.

Back at the library, Spike was still cleaning, getting prepared for the Princesses arrival. In a puff of smoke and a flash of blue light, Rune appeared, with the sleeping Dusk on his back.

"Hey!" Spike shouted. "I just cleaned there."

"No time for chat Spike." Rune said, dropping Dusk to his back. "We need to wake him up."

Positioning his hoof away from Dusk. "Oh Duskie.......Time to WAKE UP!" Rune then smacked Dusk across the face.

No effect. So Rune began to repeatedly smack Dusk across the face, back and forth. Back and forth.

"Wake up sunshine,"

"Wake up,"

"Rise and shine,"

"Okay fine then,"

"That's for questioning my logic,"

"That's for saying my magic needs practice,"

"That's because it's fun to smack you,"

"WHY...WON'T.....YOU.....WAKE....UP??????"

Rune was loosing patience. Holding back his hoof, almost as if charging an attack. Rune focused all his magic into his hoof.

"WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!" Rune unleashed a super smack. This sent Dusk flying across the room, denting the wall in the process.

"Huh....what?" Said a very tired, very groggy Dusk. "Oh Rune...*yawn...what happened, I had the weirdest dream."

"Well no time to explain but-" Rune was interrupted with a knock on the door.

Thankfully Spike answered.

There stood both Princess Luna and Princess Celestia.

"Hello my dear student, and hello to you as well Rune." Celestia greeted.

"Good afternoon young Rune and our dear Dusk." Luna followed Celestia's example.

"Hello Princess Celestia, Princess Luna." Dusk replied, his tone was very nervous.

"Hello master." Rune said to Luna. "Hello Princess Celestia." He said to Celestia.

"We are here for your Magical Examination." Celestia said, putting on a pair of reading glasses and a clipboard.

"As are we." Luna did the same that Celestia did.

"Y-yes....of course...." Dusk stuttered.

"So how goes Rune's studies as your colleague?" Celestia asked.

"It's....it's....-" Dusk couldn't respond.

"It's been great..." Rune began improvising. "Dusk helped me research a new method of levitation."

"Oh!?" Both Celestia and Luna responded at once.

"By all means, do tell us." Luna said, using her magic to write something on the clipboard.

"Okay...." Rune began his own lecture. "Dusk has taught me that everything has its own magic field around it, this allows some objects, or even living creatures to naturally attract or repel from another. Looking at this concept, I have found away to slightly change the amount and density of another magical field of energy."

"Impressive!" Celestia was very impressed by this.

'But how does this concept even work? Does it even work?" Luna was skeptical. There was no way Rune could come up with his own scientific discovery so quickly.

"Why explain when I can show you." Rune bragged. Getting into a position, as if he was about to lift a heavy object, Rune channeled his orange aura of magic around his horn.

Suddenly, the library began to shake slightly. Almost as if it was budging. It was quickly made very clear, the library was starting to rise up, it was about to levitate. Rune was sweating a little, but he didn't look like he was struggling. In mere moments, the library was now levitating, and so was everything else that was bolted down.

"This is amazing Rune!" Luna congratulated Rune for this accomplishment. Celestia was impressed but let Luna congratulate him instead, while Dusk was so starstruck, he was speechless.

"Thank you master." Rune said, but in his moment was pride, he lost concentration and everything, including the library fell back down. With a loud THUD.

Picking themselves back up, Rune looked extremely embarrassed. "I'm so so so sorry..."

"It's okay Rune." Luna replied.

"But how did you manage that feat?" Celestia asked. Dusk was curious as well but said nothing.

"Well as I said before." Rune began. "By changing the energy's flow within a flied, I was able to make the object repel the other. So I changed the polarity of the library so the ground rejected the library. This caused the library to levitate."

Then Rune looked around the library and saw the mess. "And apparently it lifted everything else." He quickly shook back to composure. "But my point is that if we can utilize this new method of levitation, we can reduce labor cost and increase production all at the same time."

This..was...astonishing. Almost unbelievable. To think that Rune, a lazy unicorn that had problems studying was able to create a cheaper, more productive, alternative to an already rudimentary spell.

"Well this has been very enlightening." Celestia congratulated Rune.

"It seems that whatever method you." Luna stated, patting Rune on the head, while looked towards Dusk. "keep doing it." Luna walked over to Dusk, kissing him on the cheek. "We shall keep in touch more."

"I feel that is all we required." Celestia stated. "Now come along Luna, we still have business at the castle."

"Yes dear sister." Luna replied.

And with that, both alicorn sisters left a shocked Dusk and a proud Rune.

"Oh my Luna!" Rune shouted. "Can't believed that worked!"

"You mean to tell me that you had no idea what you were doing!?" Dusk exclaimed.

"Not one clue, I wasn't even sure that would work." Rune answered. "But don't get me wrong....I read those books on magical theory you said I had to read. I particularly liked the one that mentioned transformation magic, so many funny pictures. And I have more books to read." With that, Rune used his magic to grab every book on magical theory and hoarded himself inside his room.

"Wow that is......amazing." Dusk said aloud to himself, he was surprised again.

Later that night:

"Dear Princess Celestia,

Today i learned that even if you think you know a pony, they can still surprise you. Despite Rune's lack of appreciation towards standard forms of study; I have seen that if properly motivated, mostly by pictures rather than words, Rune should be able to study at a more productive rate.

I still question his reasons and motivation for this new found want to study. But so long as he is learning I guess.

Your devoted student,

Dusk Shine"

Dear Master Luna,

Today I have realized how fun it is to study magical theory. Despite not really being able to understand most of it. So far, I'm relying on just the pictures. But whatever the case, I'll work harder to impress you.

Your loyal student,

Dawn Rune

P.S. Are you doing anything this weekend?
