First Day Part 4: Twilight’s Little Realization

“Well, that could have gone better.”

The little bit of flexibility Twilight’s wings had regained came to an abrupt end, and he spun around to face where Rarity’s voice had come from. All the while, wondering how the unicorn had found her so quickly, not to mention caught up after Twilight had teleported himself and Rainbow Dash away.

As the unicorn’s mane was a mess of colors, flowing freely in the air without the need for wind, Twilight made an estimated guess that she had simply used her harmonic magic to augment her natural unicorn abilities and either locate her friends and hid herself with the magic of friendship, or just teleported after Twilight and made herself invisible. Both were well within the fashionista’s power these past several days.

Although the unicorn’s words were said without malice, Twilight’s ears drooped. “How am I supposed to talk to her after something like that Rarity?” he mumbled. The thought that Dash considered their friendship, the connection they shared to be what stood in the way of her dream...Twilight wasn't even sure how he should take that! Why couldn't the pegasus just see how amazing she was without a bunch of nameless ponies to prop her up?

Why can't she see herself the way I see her? As a beautiful, brilliant mare whom always put her friends before herself and was an inspiration to everypony she ever met. Long since before Twilight had become an alicorn, her usual goto train of thought whenever things go bad had been: What would a brave pony like Rainbow Dash do? And it had continued on as he still stood in his new palace. It was what had allowed him to follow through on Dash's offer. It was what led her to best best night of his life. What allowed him to finally admit the desire he had for the cyan pegasus.

Before answering the alicorn's question, the unicorn’s hair went back to normal, and she moved closer to put a reassuring hoof on Twilight’s shoulder. “It’s alright Darling, we all…choke from time to time.”

Twilight moaned and lowered his head even more from the imagery the unicorn’s comment brought up thanks also in part to timing. Why did Dash have to mention blow jobs? Twilight asked himself as his mind summoned the image of the little pegasus with her mouth wrapped around his phallus. By his calculations, she wouldn’t even be able to fit half of the thing residing between his legs into her mouth before it went deep enough to trigger a gag reflex.

But, from some of the research erotica Twilight had read as part of her self-imposed sexual education, a mare taking a stallion’s reproductive organ into her mouth was one of the greatest acts of submission a mare could partake in. The fact that Dash was willing to do this for him made Twilight’s mouth water with desire for his little pony.

Why the hay did Dash have to report in to work? Heats lasted longer than a day if they weren't satisfied! The two of them could have spent Twilight's last hours as a male, fully exploring every sexual act a heterosexual couple could do! Twilight didn't mind admitting to himself he wanted her more than ever, with all the possibilities playing throughout his mind.

“-even listening to me Twilight?” Rarity shouted in the stallion’s face, making Twilight rear up and the unicorn back away with a surprised shout.

The mental image of Rainbow with her mouth wrapped around the stallion’s phallus at the forefront of his mind disappeared in a poof, and Twilight let out a cry of surprise when he noticed Rarity was nearly muzzle to muzzle with him before backing off to regain some person space. After getting himself under control, he looked down to the wide-eyed unicorn. “Rarity, I…um, something wrong?”

“Doesn’t that thing ever go down?” she mumbled just loud enough for Twilight to hear, getting a heavy blush from the stallion before looking back up into his eyes. Then she just went on as if she hadn’t noticed Twilight’s condition. “Pinkie made breakfast. Do you wish to join us before we get to work today?”

Twilight groaned as he shifted his legs around to block Rarity’s view of what was going on downstairs, and let out an embarrassed whine. “I um…that is, if you don’t mind the…problems I’m having.”

“Well I’d hardly let a little…ahem, something like that keep me away from a friend in need Darling. Even if all can do is listen to your problems and help you work something out,” Rarity told Twilight before turning around and leading the way out of the council chambers.

As he followed Rarity through the doors and deeper into his palace, Twilight noticed something odd about her that he hadn't before now: the unicorn was hot. Not in the same super athletic way Rainbow was of course, but she had a definite attractiveness about her that few mares could hope to match. Not to mention the shape of her plot was… Oh come on! Twilight shouted at his sex drive before it could summon up mental images of Rarity being impaled on his cock, crying out in ecstasy as they had sex belly to belly while Twilight's height allowed for him to give her a horn job at the same time. More than likely, the unicorn wouldn’t last nearly as long Rainbow, but she would still make a fine lover if Twilight could get her into the bedroom.

Okay first off, Twilight told his hormones that brought the image of the sexy unicorn laying in waiting upon his bed, her hindquarters raised in presentation. Rarity isn’t interested in me that way, and I AM NOT CHEATING ON RAINBOW JUST BECAUSE OF A FEW STUPID HORMONES! Besides, Rarity is probably one of those mares who likes to do everything all gentle, I like it rough and… an image of his cyan pegasus bound to his bed, completely at the alicorn’s mercy made Twilight bite his lip to keep from whimpering with desire.

Why did he have to get so into that series of bondage erotica? The full S&M was a little too overboard for Twilight’s taste, what with the crops and actually doing physical damage to his friends, but the idea of being in complete control, having his little Dashie be at his mercy as he stroked her mane and ran his hooves across her cutie mark, showing her that she could trust him completely…the mental images that brought to mind made Twilight whimper with need.

In his mind, Dash squirmed helplessly in a harness made to restrain her wings and legs. She struggled in futility, completely under the alicorn's power while he pushed himself all the way into her, earning a cry of pleasure from the pegasus.

“-again, aren’t you?”

Just like before, Rarity’s words pulled Twilight out of his mental world, where Dash was bound as Twilight took her from behind, getting a squeal from the pegasus that demanded he do it harder and faster until the while bed shook with the force from the alicorn’s thrusts.

Twilight came to a halt, and it took a minute to process what the unicorn had said. “You’re thinking about her again, aren’t you?” his memory supplied, to which Twilight could only nod.

Much to his relief, Rarity smirked, then let out a giggle. “Well I guess it’s true what they say. Stallions really do think about sex every ten seconds.”

“Rarity,” Twilight whined at the false assumption. There was no real evidence to suggest the male ponies thought about procreation or physical pleasure more so than their female counterparts. Even if I can’t get these thought’s of Dash out of my head, the alicorn told himself.

But that was only because of his new experience! It was only natural to think about having more sessions of intercourse with his fillyfriend since they had only done it twice so far. And with only a day left to experience phallic stimulation, Twilight should have known his mind would have been going over all the possibilities open to him, the positions, oral stimulation, anal… Okay, that one probably wouldn’t work too well, he realized while imagining Dash bent over while the alicorn tried to shove a cock five sizes to big into her rear.

“And ten,” Rarity counted knocking Twilight out of her sexual fantasies once again, much to the alicorn’s embarrassment. “You’re doing it again, aren’t you?”

Judging by her sly smile that appeared a few seconds later, Twilight’s whine was all Rarity needed for confirmation. Still, the unicorn didn’t seem to be all that judgmental about it. “What’s wrong with me Rarity?” the male princess mumbled.

“Honestly Darling?” she asked with a little smirk. “I’d be surprised if you weren’t at least in a mare’s heated level of arousal. Everypony is a little like that once they’ve had their first pleasurable taste. As long as it was a pleasurable one, at least," she added at the end, leaving a sour ring in Twilight's ears.

So this is normal? Oh thank Celestia! I thought there was something wrong with me, Twilight told himself before a thought occurred to him. His tongue as a male was quite a bit bigger than when he was a mare. Twilight wondered if that would mean he could pleasure Dash more with his mouth now, or after he turned back. I should do an experiment, he realized.

Dash had said she was going to get him off with her mouth after all, it would only be right that he returned the favor for her. I wonder how she tastes? Will it be different when I’m a mare? Females are supposed to have more sensitive senses, maybe I could include a comparison study later on?

“So…what’s it like?” Rarity asked, bringing Twilight out of his thought once again. He was a little proud of himself at catching her words this time.

“Amazing,” the alicorn sighed. “Even fully aroused, Rainbow is such a tight fit that she stimulates every bit of my-”

“GAHHH! NOT THAT!” Rarity shrieked as she spun all the way around, reared up on her hind legs, and threw her free legs up as if to physically shield herself from Twilight’s words. When the exclamation managed to stop the stallion from talking, Rarity got back on all fours and let out a long breath, visibly relaxing as she did so. “I meant, what is it like to be a stallion?”

Twilight felt like smacking himself in the face. Of course that’s what she meant you idiot, the alicorn thought. Rarity wasn't some kind of voyeur, no matter how many romances novels she probably read! Or who she gossiped about...or... Actually, now that Twilight thought about it, she did kind of fit the voyeur profile... But the alicorn supposed the unicorn knew where to stop.

As for her question, it was an interesting one. Now that it was posed to him, Twilight found himself thinking about stuff that had gone on so far. He noticed there was a definite difference in the way he had been acting and feeling compared to just a few days ago. Of course back then, his best friend wasn’t developing an embryo in her womb thanks to a combination of her egg and his sperm. But Twilight knew that hadn’t been the only difference in what he now was compared to his past.

“Well, there’s the perspective for one thing,” he began, starting with the simplest thing he understood. “I know I’m the one whose gained a foot or two, but to me, it looks like everypony else has just shrunk. It’s…kind of odd.” Twilight didn’t want to mention how it left him thinking just how cute it made Rainbow seem, or how he just wanted to hold her down and… Come on focus. Comparison, what else is there?

“Then there’s the emotions,” he went on. “Everything’s more…I guess, intense is the right word. When Discord showed up, I never felt so angry in my life than when I thought he was going to laugh at Rainbow being…um…” Twilight stopped, unsure if he could continue. Now that I actually think about it… Rarity never had said that she knew that Rainbow was…

Once again, Rarity came to the alicorn’s rescue. “Carrying your foal?” she supposed. “How does that work anyway? Isn’t it a bit early for…well, anything?”

Twilight cleared his throat, already feeling the embarrassment building. “You saw how Rainbow looked this morning?”

“Yes, it was quite…odd,” the unicorn admitted, obviously a little put off by the memory.

However, since she wasn’t pulling out her fainting couch, Twilight just went on. “Well, after we spent the night together, Rainbow complained about a little soreness, and I used my harmonic magic to heal her of some old injuries. Then, I did a last minute check to see if there was anything wrong on the cellular…oh no,” Twilight mumbled to himself as the facts reviewed themselves inside his head.

Using powerful magic on the mothers of unborn foals was dangerous in the extreme. The more powerful the magic, the greater the danger. The earlier the exposure was, the more pronounced the effects were. Some fillies off easy with some stunted growth of their mana pathways, while others had the complete ethereal half of their biological systems completely rewritten. Twilight had even read of cases where ponies were born with unicorn horns or pegasi wings, but possessed earth pony magic.

“Twilight? What’s wrong?” Rarity asked hesitantly.

And I just used the most powerful magic known on the egg and sperm that makes up my baby, the alicorn mental screamed as his eyes widened in panic.

Just what all could that mean?

How bad was the damage?

No…bad wasn’t a good enough word. Terrible? Horrible? Crippling?

Catastrophic!

THAT was the word he needed!

This is a total catastrophe, Twilight mentally shrieked at the ceiling.

What if their foal ended up being born like Scootaloo? The flightless filly was already a sad enough sight to Twilight’s eyes, but to have a foal of her own that was destined to such a fate would…

No, it would be worse than Scootaloo! Twilight told himself. Considering the amount of magic that Rainbow had been exposed to, and the stage of their foals development, Rainbow probably had some kind of monster growing inside her at the moment! “This is a complete disaster! It could even be another Tirek, or another Discord!” he wailed in panic.

“What are you going on about?” Rarity mumbled with a pensive frown.

“Hey! How come Tirek gets rated lower on the disaster scale than me?” the draconequus’s disembodied voice asked.

Twilight’s thoughts seized up, his panic managed to put itself on hold, and a second later, he turned to where he could feel the unnatural spatial distortion that accompanied Discord’s particular brand of magic a second before the mix-and-match creature appeared. “I’m reformed now…for real!” he said while pulling out a white version of Applejack’s hat and sticking it on his head. “Or…permanently. Well, I at least won’t be messing with the ponies at any rate. Now, about this defamation of my Chaotic Good character.”

Almost on instinct, Twilight summoned his harmonic magic. An instant later, the hall was alight with his white glowing mane, as the wings that had been in a permanently up positioned also changed coloration at the tips before becoming nimble enough to move again. “What are you doing here Discord?” the alicorn demanded in anger.

For his part, the draconequus put his hand and claw as if to catch any attack that Twilight might fling. “Hey now, time out a second here,” Discord said before snapping his talons. A poof of smoke on the wall beside them drew both of the ponies attention, and Twilight found himself staring at the oddest mirror he had ever seen.

It was rectangular in shape, with a black frame. However, the disturbing thing abut it was the glass. Although the surface was reflective, it was as dark as Rainbow’s sunglasses.

“Now before you flay me or something, your little fillyfriend never did figure out those little hints I gave her. And as for the why, well…I give you exhibits A through D in my defense,” Discord said as a rectangular wand appeared in his hand and sounded off a click. A second later, the mirror display an oddly drawn image that seemed to move, despite the fact it simply looked like a colorful painting.

My little pony
My little po~ny

“And skip the intro,” Discord said as he clicked his wand, changing the picture. A second later, the display showed an animated Rainbow Dash talking to Applejack in what looked to Twilight like one of her barn's cellars.

“Hey AJ, guess what?” the cute little cartoon pegasus exclaimed.

“Jut a second RD, let me just put up this cask of highly alcoholic cider,” the farm pony said as she reached down to grab the small keg, only to be stopped by Rainbow Dash.

“Are you kidding? Crack that thing open! I got something to celebrate! Me and Twilight are fillyfriends now!”

The news seemed to actually make Applejack’s face brighten even more than the colorful animation did as she smiled. “Well alright, RD! About time if you ask me!” she exclaimed before reaching over to snag some glasses that had come from…somewhere. “Let’s get so smashed that you’ll be waking up in the hospital tomorrow!”

“Good thing I don’t have a quickly developed foal inside me or anything!” Rainbow replied as they clinked mugs together before Rainbow threw hers aside, then picked up the whole keg to chug it all down in only ten seconds flat.

As Twilight gaped at the scene, the picture changed to reveal the alicorn in his real body, pacing around his bedroom in a panic. “How am I supposed to tell Rainbow I got her knocked up?” she yelled to the ceiling. “I can’t even tell our friends! It’s a good thing Discord didn’t just show up and drop enough hints for Pinkie and Rarity to figure things out, so now I have to deal with the whole thing on my own!”

Then, the alicorn in the moving picture stopped and scratched her chin in thought. A second later, her face changed to one of excitement when MP-Twilight obviously came up with an idea. “I’ve got it! I’ll concoct an overly complicated plan with a thousand little things that make it impossible to go right to set up the perfect situation in which to tell Rainbow Dash that I was stupid enough to have sex without a protection spell and seeded her! And when even the littlest thing goes wrong, I’ll just keep putting it off, over and over again until Rainbow is in her third trimester!”

Tired of Discord’s magic mirror making him look like a complete plot, Twilight charged his horn with a spell, and wiped the offending thing from existence before whirling on Discord. “First off,” Twilight growled. “Applejack doesn’t have any cider in her cellar! She sells out every year! And I would never do something like…well…I would have gotten around to telling everypony eventually! And Rainbow should have been the first to know!”

The Spirit of Chaos looked at his destroyed mirror, then gave Twilight a withering glare. “I’ll have you know I was waiting for the Soarin shotgun wedding scene, it was by far my best work.”

With Discord giving no apparent care to the danger he was in, Twilight prepared to blast him halfway to Tartarus to show the bucking draconequus just how utterly ticked off he was, when Rarity cleared her throat and drew the alicorn’s attention.

“Actually, Darling…perhaps…and I can’t believe I’m saying this… Perhaps Discord has a point,” Rarity mumbled.

Twilight blinked at the unicorn’s words. The surprise running through his body actually made the alicorn lose the grip he had on his magic, and he just stared at the unicorn for a moment before his brain managed to reactivate. “…what?” Twilight asked, still barely able to comprehend what he had just heard wile his body returned to its normal form; albeit still male.

A second after the question was asked, Rarity looked over to the chaos spirit to shoot him a glare. “Don’t get me wrong Twilight! The way Discord went about it was completely…uncouth. But…maybe you do need a bit of help with this,” she said as she turned her gaze back to her friend. “It isn’t every day that the stallion is the one who has to tell the mare about a foal on the way.”

The glare Twilight shot the unicorn made Rarity back away. “Are you completely insane?” Twilight shouted at the mare. “Do you think so little of me, that I would act like that for something like this? Do you honestly think I would run around like some stupid little foal, only caring about a bucking checklist when Rainbow needs to be told about what’s going on?”

“Well…now that you ask…no,” she admitted before Twilight rounded on Discord in a fury.

“And you! How dare you pull your stupid little stunts about something like this!” the alicorn seethed as she tried to hold down his anger at Discord to manageable levels. “The only reason I haven’t seen just how much I can do to you with my magic is because I need a consultant to help me see how bad things are!”

As Rarity’s face switched to one of confusion, Discord’s became a little pensive for a few seconds before he replied to Twilight’s angry outburst. “Bad how?”

Discord’s question brought up the problem that the alicorn had been thinking about before his appearance, causing the pony to flinch. After taking a few breaths to calm down, Twilight let out one long sigh, and fell onto his hunches with a sigh that came off as more of a groan. Discord was the last creature on the planet he wanted to talk this over with, but the only one who might be able to offer any answers.

“This morning, before I had even thought about what I was doing, or what could have happened because of what I’d done!” Twilight exclaimed at his own stupidity. “I exposed Rainbow to the full power of my Element.” He sighed and looked over to Rarity. “That’s why she looked so…the way she did Rarity. I healed years and years of-no, that’s not a good enough description.” Healing magic worked like quick regeneration of lost cells and damaged tissue. What Twilight had done went beyond that. “I exposed Rainbow to so much magical power that I rewrote reality to make her be in perfect health. That’s the kind of magic I exposed our genetic material to before I found an embryo forming inside of her!”

Going by the wide-eyed look on Rarity’s face, he didn’t need to explain things any further. Which made sense, she was a unicorn after all. That tribe knew more than the others about the dangers when it came to the mix of magic and the unborn. “Oh dear.”

With Rarity shocked into silence, Twilight looked back to Discord and grit his teeth to try and reign in his anger. “And since you’ve already seen what’s going on in there…I need you to tell me if my baby is okay,” he said, his hooves visibly trembling from the effort of actually having to ask Discord of all things for help.

“Welllll,” the draconequus drawled, at least until shot a blast of magic past him that ricocheted off the crystal to smack him on the back of the head. Not being in his harmonic state, the attack only seemed to annoy Discord, as it was supposed to. “Fine! But I’m doing this for Rainbow Dash, not you. So nah!”

Rarity recoiled as Discord’s tongue extended a good three feet as he stuck it out at them. “Guh!” she mumbled while back up away from the red thing before she looked up at him with a scowl. “Whatever excuse is good with you.”

Since he knew his world was about to be shattered, Twilight took another calming breath and looked up to Discord. “So…what’s wrong with…our baby,” he managed to say while blocking all the possibilities from running through his head.

“Other than it has you and Rainbow Dash for parents?” Discord asked rhetorically in an insulting tone, earning a scowl from Twilight before he shrugged. “No idea.”

As the tension building in Twilight was frozen by his confusion, the alicorn cocked his head to the side. “What?”

In response, Discord was covered with a strange light for a moment that completely obscured Twilight’s vision of the draconequus. When he could see the creature again, Discord was wearing a strange blue uniform with a small alien insignia on its chest. “Damnit Twilight! I’m a draconequus! Not a doctor! I don’t know anything about healthy ponies, what with your wings and horns, and those cloven feeted leggy things!”

With his patience for the spirit’s antics wearing thin, Twilight stood back up and shouted. “THEN WHAT GOOD ARE YOU?”

“Hmmm, that’s a good question,” he replied before tapping his chin as he looked up at the ceiling in a thoughtful pose.

Twilight seethed at the jester, who was trying to make light of the situation. His patience for such things had run out five minutes ago. “No!” he shouted. “No more jokes! No more games! No more…whatever the buck that mirror-thing was! You either find something helpful to do, or GET LOST! Because I don’t have the patience to deal with you right now!”

“Okay, okay fine, geeze, try and help a pony out, and this is what you get,” he mumbled before snapping his fingers and disappearing in a puff of smoke.

The two ponies stood alone in the hallway for a moment before Rarity looked over to her friend. “So, that could have gone-”

“Not. One. More. Word. Rarity,” Twilight grumbled.

After a minute of silence, Rarity motioned for Twilight to follow her to the dining room where Pinkie was probably waiting. As he watched the unicorn’s plot move from the perfect viewpoint, the alicorn wished he could get in the proper mindset to enjoy it, or at least go back to having sexual fantasies about Rainbow Dash.

Unfortunately, whatever lingering presence that his mare had left to drive Twilight to such thoughts had disappeared with the alicorn’s latest revelation about the future foal’s exposure to harmonic magic. To top that off, Twilight was still well aware of Rainbow’s mindset about everything that was going on; her feelings of worthlessness.

It’s not like I meant for any of this to happen, he thought. He didn’t mean to be such a huge impediment to her dreams. The fact he had added a foal on top of it all made Twilight feel even worse about everything. But…if it keeps her here… he told himself slowly as he considered the other implications. A pregnancy, even one where the foal was going to be…problematic, Twilight knew he could use that time to his advantage. It would give Dash a reason for staying in Ponyville without impeding her dreams of being a Wonderbolt too much.

It buys me the time to work out a real relationship, he realized. We could…I could figure things out. I could show Rainbow how important she is to all of us. How she doesn’t need the Wonderbolts to be amazing! How she’s better without them! How her real place is here with us!

With things put into a better perspective, Twilight looked down at the unicorn walking beside him. “Um, Rarity, about the foal,” he said, doing his best to keep his voice steady. “I need to be the one to tell Rainbow about it. Everything about it.”

“Of course Twilight,” she agreed evenly as they walked into the dining room to find Pinkie waiting for them with a tray full of donuts.
