After the girls and Trickster woke up, and Trickster was returned to normal, The girls all got cleaned up and apologized in embarrassment to Spike, who was too sore about it to just let it go right then. They then explained to Kamina that Rarity and AJ had burst into the library to take shelter from the storm, and right after Twilight had finished her first successful cast of the gender changing spell on Trixie, and the two were in the process of foreplay when their friends had burst in.

It took several minutes to explain the situation, and finally led to them deciding to have a sleepover since there was no way they were making AJ or Rarity walk home in the deluge. They had Trixie being the guide to the activities they did beings she'd had several when she was a filly. They chatted, told spooky stories, and were planning to do seven minutes in heaven when Trixie opted for spin the bottle first.

AJ and Rarity were uncomfortable with both game ideas but decided to try them out, beings they didn't know their preferences beyond the norm yet. As the game went on, the bottle wound up forgotten, and the mares moved on to more than kissing. When Twilight turned Trixie back into Trickster, things got out of hoof.

Needless to say; Trickster got to feel what it was like to be a stallion that night, and with three gorgeous mares lavishing him in attention to boot. Trixie was the most embarrassed by this outcome, because she'd never imagined what it was like, and could now see why Kamina was so completely fine with a herd, because damn, that night would never be forgotten.

Kamina was oddly detached though, as if he didn't honestly care that they had a wild foursome without him on the one night he was out, which worried everypony because they knew it wasn't like him. Kamina became unusually depressed, thinking about his past, reflecting on what he'd done, what he'd had, what he'd lost. He'd never really mourned his own death until now, always caught up in his worries for everyone else, watching them, tormented he couldn't help them. Even when he came here; he was more worried about the now than the then.

But actually meeting Vinyl, talking to her, hanging out with her, even sleeping next to her like a sibling and not a lover; just made him realize just how horrible his life was before he came here. He thought he'd let it go, but clearly he still hadn't. The whole reason Celestia brought him back to life was to save him the fate of being stuck a lonely spirit until he went mad, and here he was; lollygagging about like an idiot, letting important things slip through his hooves like so much sand in favor of just having fun for once. He'd only had his father before, and lost him so young too. Here he had a mother, but he had more, he'd never had more.

He had to know.

Kamina started sending letters to Celestia, Spike being a bro didn't read them out of respect, telling her he found a relative here who had to have been related to the guard she'd indirectly sired him with. After just a few messages, Celestia promised she'd arrange to have them all meet together at the Gala, at least by then she would have convinced the guard to meet with him; said guard being nervous of having a second son so suddenly, especially one not born of his late wife.

With this, Kamina felt a little better, being assured he'd get some closure with his own existence and discover what having an actual family might be like. It was little over a week later when he found time with Vinyl to spend time with her. “Bro, seriously, you're going to be fine.” Vinyl calmly consoled her potential brother, confirming with him that her dad; Keen Sentry, was a part of the Royal Guard, specifically the elite squadron assigned to protect Celestia.

“I know sis, it's just; I've never had this before, this feeling.” Kamina sighed as he looked at his shades-wearing sister through his own shades. “It's so odd, but awesome. It's hard to describe. The closest I've ever come was with Simon and Spike, and even then it wasn't nearly this deep.” Kamina reflected. He'd spent the whole morning with Vinyl, just hanging out, walking around town, talking about their pasts and occasionally gushing about the fact that they're siblings. Right now though, they were addressing Kamina's fierce streak of depression that had his friends all worried.

“Bro, I swear; my dad's cool. He'll accept you, even if it is all that funky magic mumbo-jumbo that us normal ponies won't ever get that gave birth to you and not my...mom.” Vinyl hesitated at mentioning her for obvious reasons.

Vinyl and Flash's mom; Record Breaker was a little known pegasus musician that caught the eye of an on-duty Keen Sentry. They'd met when he was making his rounds, and he heard a scream. He rushed to investigate to discover an attempted murder, and killed the unicorn criminal about to strike down the injured white pegasus mare with red curly hair and soft green eyes. Of course, Keen had never killed anypony before that night, but rather than let him go into shock, Record snapped him out of it by cradling his head to her chest, and whispering sweet nothings to calm him down.

Ever since then, Keen and Record were incredibly close, marrying within a few months of meeting. Vinyl was the firstborn, older than her brother by a few years, so she was only three when Record died in childbirth. She hated Flash for a while, seeing him as her mom's killer, but grew out of it at the stern teachings of Keen who told her Record was just too beautiful for the world to handle her spreading it to more than one child.

This of course was bullshit to Vinyl later in life, realizing that Flash looked almost exactly like their dad and almost nothing like their mom, save his oddly elegant wings, considering he was a boy, obviously Record must have simply been too weak to bear a second child, but Vinyl couldn't begrudge her for having Flash anymore. Now, here was yet another sibling, suddenly out of the blue, who looked almost like a clone of her dad, the only difference being his staggeringly greater height, size, and lithe frame. Obviously the alicorn genes talking.

“You don't have to talk about her anymore than you have to Vinyl. It still hurts, thinking about my dad.” Kamina consoled her in return, looking to the sky. “He died in vain, only getting as far as the surface before being slaughtered. I didn't have the time to mourn him properly then, but its been so long now that its hard to even remember what he looked like.” Kamina paused, and took a deep breath through his nose as Vinyl hugged him. “Thanks sis.”

“That's what big sisters are for.” Vinyl grinned at him, beings she's 19, effectively making her physically older.

“Don't you mean little sister? I'm mentally six years older than you.” Kamina shot back, grinning all the same. The siblings laughed as they continued walking through the oddly empty streets of town. “Hey, wait, where is everypony?”

“Ugh, this again?” Vinyl griped, and decided to explain. “Ok, beings you're still kinda new to our world bro, do you know about the other sentient races?” Vinyl asked, getting a nod out of Kamina. “Did you know that most ponies are instinctively racist?” Kamina gawked at her, and she nodded firmly with a frown. “Yeah, I know. It's not their fault; it's the Herd Mentality talking. Something new, something unusual, something not normal happens or comes along, and boom; situational powder keg ready to blow.”

“So what does this have to do with ponies being racist?” Kamina asked, only to hear a loud “psst” from nearby, and he turned towards the sound to see Sugarcube Corner, with Pinkie in the door frantically waving them in. “Pinkie?”

“Oh no, I'm not going to be dragged into this stupid-.” Vinyl was saying before she suddenly found herself standing inside the dark main eating area of the bakery. “DAMN IT!” Everypony inside flinched at Vinyl's loud curse. “No! I am not going to be part of this xenophobic bullshit! I'm out!” Vinyl tried to leave, only to yelp as a lasso caught her legs, and before she knew it she was hog-tied and gagged, glaring murder through her shades at AJ; the perpetrator.

“It's fer yer own good sugarcube, we'll keep ya safe in here.” AJ needlessly consoled Vinyl, who simply glared at her, cursing her awesome shades for hiding her spiteful gaze for once.

“What is going on in here? And untie my sister right NOW AJ!” Kamina glared fiercely at her, making AJ shrink back in shame before she set about freeing Vinyl. “Twilight, sit-rep!” Kamina barked out, making Twilight instinctively stand at attention.

“Sir! Everypony's scared of the zebra in town sir!” Twilight blushed and looked at all her friends in embarrassment.

“...What?” Kamina asked incredulously, and looked at all his friends levelly. “Seriously?”

“Yeah! She's an evil enchantress, and she does evil-!” Pinkie was about to start a song, but Kamina song-blocked her.

“STOP!” Kamina grabbed her in his magic, and all the others as well, including Trixie, Gilda, Spike and Vinyl, and forced them all to sit in front of him, the only one he was gentle with was Applebloom who was next to AJ. “Is this what we teach Our Little Ponies? To fear, discriminate, and alienate others for being different? None of you did that to Gilda! None of you did that to Spike! So WHY NOW?!” Kamina accidentally used the Royal CAPS LOCK, making them all scoot back and then blink in shock at the sudden explosion of sound, but Vinyl wooped.

“Woo! Tell 'em bro!” Vinyl egged on, causing Kamina to regain his momentum after he'd paused from asking himself why he was so angry, but with that spur, he knew he had several things he had to address.

“Firstly, where is this zebra?” Kamina asked, and they all nervously looked at each other. “Well?” Twilight sighed and pointed out the nearby window. Kamina went up to it and saw a cloaked and hooded mare seemingly digging around in the dirt road for something. “Very well, as a prince I will do my civic duty, and try to introduce her to the town properly.” The others aside from Gilda, Spike, Twilight and Trixie were about to try and convince him otherwise, but he silenced them with a glare. “Also, Trixie, Twilight, AJ and Rarity; we are going to talk about that orgy you had and why it was very uncouth to have done it. I'll chat with you later little bro, and Rainbow....”

Kamina paused on the new stallion in town. Rainbow had been the one who decided to go for the sex change, saying he liked Gilda's feminine form too much, that and male griffins were just way bigger and Dash wasn't willing to risk anything with a partner that big. He looked like a rather sporty stallion, still lithe and athletic like he was as a mare, but he also wore coat-matching neoprene shorts to make sure his new equipment didn't impact his flying. He was definitely bigger than he was as a mare, nearly bigger than Gilda in body at that, but still streamlined like most all pegasi. Also, he felt he only had to change his second name. Dash was the past, look out for the Blitz! He had proudly proclaimed after he'd cooled down later. “Yeah?” Blitz asked in bewilderment.

“We've gotta start hanging out more. I don't have enough guy friends, and you're pretty much the same from before so we'd still have a lot to talk about. Also, looking cool dude.” Kamina gently punched Blitz's shoulder, making Blitz smirk.

“Feeling cool dude.” Blitz returned as he looked over at Gilda, who blushed lightly and smiled back. “So, how about we come with you? We've all kinda been jerks lately.” Blitz offered as he turned a light glare to the quartet that participated in the orgy. Oh he heard about what happened the next day after the storm. Blitz was not amused, he almost left in a huff before Twilight could cast the spell on him. Seriously, the disloyalty they displayed with that really rubbed him wrong.

“That'd be nice, actually.” Kamina calmed down a little, and looked to the rest of the group. “Who's willing to come with me?” After a few seconds, everyone stepped forward, some smiling, some looking nervous, others outright scared like AJ. Ironically, Fluttershy seemed the most calm about all this. Kamina figured it was her meeting Cor that made her bolder. “Let's go.”

“Actually....” Vinyl commented, as she walked up to him. “I've got errands to run bro. Octy wanted me to pick up some carrots and celery for tonight's stew. If you drop by tonight you can have some.” Vinyl offered, and Kamina smiled at his sister.

“That'd be great, but I might have to take a rain check.” Kamina then laughed and Vinyl did too. “Not like when we met though. Later sis.” Vinyl left and Kamina turned back to the others. “Alright, now let's go.”

===//////>

They left the building to see about greeting the zebra, who Kamina was told was named Zecora, a name he felt was oddly exotic; fitting for her unknown appearance, made her even more mysterious. However, she was already leaving town for the Everfree; Kamina was told she lived in there by choice. 'Or does she?' Kamina thought to himself as they tried to catch up with the surprisingly agile mare. To make up time and catch up to her, they decided to cut through a small field of bright blue flowers with red stems. “Hello there!” At his call, the mare stopped and turned around, and gasped audibly.

“Beware! Beware you pony folk! Those blue flowers are not a joke!” She shouted to them in rhyme, making AJ shiver even more, and the other skittish members of the group to be on the verge of panic.

“The flowers? What's wrong with them?” Kamina asked as he continued to approach, the others trailing behind him, beings they'd already been in the flowers, they saw no reason to bother trying to get out any faster, as whatever they'd do was already set, they'd have to be treated later. Thankfully Applebloom had been riding on AJ's back, but Spike was even touched by the flowers since he walked with them.

“The flowers you have tread, will cause an unusual effect to dread. It is harmless for sure, you have simply to ask for a cure.” Zecora removed her hood, looking them over analytically with her deep blue eyes, that from different angles seemed deep green. “However, I am afraid said cure is not ready, prepared I was not for someone to follow at pace so steady. Had I known I would have halted, but now a joke you all must be faulted.”

“...What?” Spike asked in confusion, responding for mostly everyone, save Trixie who came forward.

[Hello my friend, I see you are having trouble speaking in Equestrian. You're using a translation enchantment aren't you?] Trixie spoke in a different language to everyone's shock, especially Zecora who quickly became elated.

[Joy! Somepony who speaks Zebrican! I cannot tell you how irritating it is to have to speak in rhyme through this damn translation enchantment.] Zecora stated as she tapped one of the golden rings on her neck.

[I know right? When I visited Zebrica I had to wear one for the other way around until I learned how to speak Zebrican fluently. Speaking in rhyme is so frustrating, they need to see a way around that limitation.] Trixie responded, but she shook her head. [Right, sorry. We'll continue pleasantries later, but you said you'd be able to make the cure, but you need time right?]

“What're ya'll sayin' in all that gobble-d-gook?” AJ asked in annoyance, making the two mares speaking a different language both look at her, before saying something in Zebrican and laughing. “Hey! Was that a shot?” AJ asked angrily, only for Trixie to wave her off.

“No, no nothing of the sort. So, basically, we've been cursed by these peculiar flowers. They'll have a random effect on all of us. Zecora can make a cure, but she needs time to make it.” [That is so, correct?] Trixie switched languages easily as she turned to Zecora, who nodded.

[Yes, but I require an ingredient I cannot find her in the forest. I planned to buy some things in town, but they're always mysteriously closed.] Zecora emphasized the term with sarcasm, since she already knew why the town was always deserted when she tried to visit for anything.

“But, she needs ingredients from Ponyville, but whenever she visits, the shops are all mysteriously closed.” Trixie relayed to them, putting a bit of bite into it towards the locals in the group who all cringed in guilt. “So, what are we going to do about that?”

Rarity gathered herself, and walked to the front of the group. “I offer my sincerest apologies for how uncouth we've behaved towards you. If it would please you, might I offer a free article of clothing from my boutique? I can only imagine how exotic your tastes must be, and I am eager to learn of new styles.” Rarity perked up in excitement at the prospect, getting over Zecora's naturally striped appearance, and seeing it as being somewhat captivating now that she'd muscled past her reservations.

“Oh my, yes, we'll get you properly introduced to the town. It's the least we could do for being so mean.” Fluttershy added with a smile.

The others all agreed, and they then turned back towards town, a smiling Zecora in tow.

===//////>

After the group had brought Zecora into town, and more or less brute-forced their way through the front doors of a few stores, the townsponies quickly got over their fear of Zecora, and preferred not to have to suffer the same property destruction a few shop owners had with their refusal of Prince Kamina's demand for their services. They were properly compensated of course, but they knew better now not to test the prince's patience in these matters.

Zecora purchased the reagents she needed, and told them she'd have the cure ready the next day.

Speaking of which, it was clearly the next day, and Kamina hissed in pain. His whole body ached, like he'd been beaten with hammers in his sleep. “Ow.” Kamina paused, and felt a twinge of fear. “No....” Kamina burst out of bed, gasping, and looked down in utter horror. She was a human again. A female human. With breasts bigger than Yoko's had been! “AH~!” Kamina let loose an extremely girly screech, and covered herself with her blanket, startling the two other occupants of the bed. “I'm a woman!”

“Kamina?!” At her startled question, Kamina turned to look to Twilight, and gaped at her in awe. “What?” Twilight asked completely oblivious to her changed appearance. Her mane and tail, instead of being purple ethereal flame, were now made of purple amethyst in the usual shape of her hair, and her eyes were solid purple glowing gemstones. “Kamina?”

“Twilight...you're sparkling.” Kamina reached out with her feminine hand, and touched one of Twilight's eyes, seriously unnerving the mare at realizing he was directly touching her eye, and she couldn't feel it, or the need to blink even though she could.

“Oh my, Twilight, you're quite captivating, if a little odd.” Trixie stated, drawing their attention to her. Trixie seemed to have been affected similarly, only instead of gemstones, her mane and tail were turned into wavering floating pools of water, and her eyes were like shining pools of water. “How do I look?”

“Surprisingly elegant.” Twilight supplied. “Do your eyes feel weird too?”

“My vision seems to be swimming a bit actually.” Trixie's ironic description made Kamina and Twilight giggle, which made Kamina blush and groan. Kamina did NOT giggle! “I must say Kamina, I'm glad you became a pony when you came here, because what are you?”

“I'm a human. We're basically really evolved hairless monkeys without magic. The closest we have to it is Spiral Power, and only very few beings can tap into it.” Kamina then lowered the blanket, and marveled at her huge boobs. “Whoa...I'm a hot and busty chick.”

“Why are your mammary glands so big? Is that just another part of the Poison Joke's joke?” Twilight asked honestly, and Kamina cupped her huge knockers the size of her head curiously.

“I don't know, probably genetics, probably part of the joke, but some human women do get blessed with such charms from time to time.” She jiggled them, and giggled again at how they quivered, but stopped and groaned in exasperation. “I can't get cured soon enough.”

“Actually; minotaur bovines and centaur mares do grow mammary glands in a similar manner. Of course, considering how big minotaurs are, they make yours look like tiny hooffuls in comparison, but centaurs also have the same glands we do, so their larger glands are mostly vestigial in case they need to produce for more offspring.” Trixie educated them both, interesting the other two in the bed.

“AH!” The trio of females jumped at hearing a mature male voice scream from the next room, and before they could bolt out of bed, a shocking sight burst into the door. “Twilight! I-!” Spike froze at his spot in the door, as the three girls gaped at him as he gaped at them.

Spike was a pony, a purple unicorn stallion with emerald eyes, and green dreadlocks for hair, on his flanks was the flank mark of a burning scroll still being written on by a quill. He actually looked like Twilight did when she tested the gender spell on herself, only with green eyes and hair. “Spike?”

“Yeah, I guess I'm not so little anymore, huh?” Spike asked in amusement after he'd calmed down, and looked himself over. “Huh, this is kinda cool, but what's the joke?”

“I think I get it so far. Twilight is a Fire Shifter, so it made her a sparkly Gem Shifter instead as a pun on her name, and as an opposite to her usual element. I am an Ice Shifter, so it made me a Water Shifter as a joke that I'm melted or something. Kamina was turned back into a human, but as a girl, likely to mock the fact that he's a stallion among stallions, but now he's not even a male, let alone a pony. Lastly, it made you a mature teen stallion to mock your childish body and mess with your feelings about being smaller than your mind would suggest.” Trixie broke down for them, making them all grumble at how rude the magic flowers were.

“Ugh, lets get me dressed and go get the others. Zecora will meet us at the Aloe-Lotus Spa with the cure.” Kamina got out of bed, and couldn't help but notice Spike's ears perk up, and hypnotically watch her breasts jiggle. “Spike, bro code, seriously.”

Spike blushed and looked away in shame. “Sorry bro.” Spike turned and left, but Twilight and Trixie couldn't help but watch him leave, with surprise on their faces.

“Wow....” Trixie commented. “Dat plot....”

“Trixie!” Twilight blushed as she looked at Trixie in shock.

“What? You were looking too!” Trixie defended with a similar blush. “He is really scrumptious....”

“Yeah....” Twilight admitted, and looked out the door. “I wonder if-.”

“Stop! Right! There!” Kamina demanded after she'd finished wrapping her breasts in her bandage wraps, considering she didn't really have anything else she could use for them, and was slipping on some neoprene shorts Twilight had bought from Rarity, since there wasn't actually anything else, making Kamina's outfit incredibly sexy, even to the mares who never saw a human before now. “Twilight, he's practically your son! And Trixie, control yourself! Good god girls, get your heads out of your thighs!”

“I-it's just the joke! It must have made him oddly alluring somehow!” Twilight excused as she and Trixie got out of bed. “I'm taking a cold shower though, how about you Trixie?”

“Agreed, being in my own element will help me calm down. Seriously, Poison Joke is powerful, because just looking at Spike's flanks got me hot and bothered, and I have more restraint than that.” Trixie fanned herself with a hoof. “Kamina, try and see about getting Spike in a cloak, it won't do to have every mare in town trying to pin him and have their way.” Trixie and Twilight exited the room to shower, and Kamina groaned as she face-palmed.

“It's going to be a long day....”

===//////>

Kamina had to drape a curtain over Spike, because after bothering to actually look him over, Kamina was horrified to find herself rubbing her thighs together and a welling need in her core, so she promptly ripped down some drapes and covered him up, explaining the reason to him, embarrassing them both.

“Great, so I'm a sexy stallion and all the females will want me. It's the complete opposite of my real form.” Spike grumbled at his misfortune, because since this was temporary he couldn't live it up.

“Yeah, so keep covered up, I don't like feeling like that.” Kamina shuddered at the dirty thoughts that were inserted into her head earlier, and tapped her foot. “Where is everyone?”

A loud crash smacked into the front door, and Kamina promptly opened it to find a backwards-winged Rainbow Blitz rubbing his head. “Ow, damn wings.”

“It's better than this!” Kamina looked up in the air, and just barely avoided bursting out laughing at the sight of Gilda. “Yeah, yeah just get it over with.” Gilda had been turned into a fluffy cloud of plumage, completely concealed behind her poofy feathers, and seemed to be floating about.

“Oh dear, it would seem we've encountered similar predicaments Gilda darling.” Rarity's voice sounded out, and they turned to the approaching fashionista, and promptly lost it, laughing like hyenas. “Well! I never!” Rarity was covered entirely in rippling noodle-like hair that made her look like a wet poodle.

They entered the building, and Spike looked at them, but held in his amusement. “Oh, Rarity, just what has the Poison Joke done to you?” Spike asked as he trotted up to her, and she had to part the hair in her face to see him.

“Who are you?” Rarity asked in confusion, and Spike lowered his improvised hood, making Rarity gasp silently, here eyes to dilate, and her heart to skip a beat.

“It's me, Spike! That Poison Joke is really cruel isn't it?” Spike asked honestly, not realizing the effect he was having on her. “Hey, are you ok?”

“Y-yes, yes I'm just fine, all fine here, good, yes...how are you?” Rarity lamely returned after her flustered response.

“Well I could be better, the joke on me is that instead of being a baby dragon with no swag, I'm now a stallion with all the swag and automatically make all females around want me.” Spike snorted in derision, and only now noticed that Rarity wasn't looking him in the eyes. “Rarity?” She was, instead, looking down at his exposed chest, noticing the rippling muscle under he coat. “Um...eyes up here Rarity.”

“Oh, what? Right, sorry, what were you saying?” Rarity tried to recover, quite poorly, and Spike sighed as pulled his hood up and hugged the curtain around him to fully cover himself, making Rarity blink in confusion. “Oh my, so sorry darling. That is quite cruel isn't it?” Rarity knew he had feelings for her, and the Joke just played on that heartlessly right then.

“Can't be cured soon enough.” Spike grumbled in depression, as the door was knocked on. Kamina answered it to let in Pinkie Pie, who had her tongue swollen and covered in blue spots to the point she couldn't speak. Fluttershy entered too, who looked normal. Lastly entered Applebloom, carrying a shrunken bug-sized AJ on her back. “If I wasn't in the same boat, I'd be laughing. But what's wrong with you Fluttershy?”

She shyly kicked a hoof, before smiling. “I've got a bass singer's dream.” Fluttershy's voice was a glorious baritone, making everypony lighten up with a laugh. “Well what are we waiting for? Aren't we going to head to the spa?”

“We're waiting on Twilight and Trixie. The joke played on Spike got them hot and bothered so they're taking a cold shower.” Kamina informed them, making everyone look at the cloaked stallion, who shrunk further into his clothes and Rarity stood in front of him, making him look up at her to see her smiling at him with caring eyes through her hair, causing him to smile back, creating a special moment before Rarity turned back to the group.

“Yes, so please be kind and do not focus on him. The dear is just beside himself at these events.” Rarity tried not to think of how unfair this was; that Spike got what he wanted, but not in the way it should be. Or just what he looked like under the cloak. The thought had her flanks twitching, so she was glad her spaghetti hair was hiding it.

“Ok, everyone.” Twilight and Trixie descended into the main room, taking a quick glance at them all. “Let's get this fixed.”

===//////>

Kamina's head broke the surface of the tub, a stallion again, and he sighed. “It's good to be back.” Kamina groaned as he felt hooves massaging his shoulders, and lazily looked behind him to see Twilight focusing on rubbing him down in the huge tub they were sharing with everyone else, who were happily chatting and back to normal. Spike actually stayed in the tub, talking to Rarity who seemed more invested than usual in the conversation. “Well Twilight, I'm not going to object, but we are in a public place.”

“Oh hush you, this is a spa, I have just as much right to massage you as either Aloe or Lotus since I'm your marefriend.” Twilight replied slyly, only to gasp and moan at feeling hooves give her the same treatment to her neck, only much more skillfully, and turned slightly to see Lotus, who was the same as her twin Aloe, only with a light blue coat and pink hair which was inverted from her sister, and the only way to tell them apart. “Oh gosh, Lotus that's oh~!”

“Just what we like to hear.” Lotus cheekily stated with a sly smile. “Leave the massaging to the experts, hm?”

“Alright.” Twilight gave in, and leaned back against the back of the tub as Lotus continued to work her over, as Kamina turned to watch, enjoying seeing her so relaxed.

“I see that you are content, is seeing your friends and lovers happy so special and important?” Kamina turned to Zecora, who was laying on her legs at the edge of the tub next to him, and looking at him approvingly.

“Yes, it is practically all I live for. My talent is to bring out the best in others, so to see them happy, to see them improve and better themselves, it brings me nothing but joy.” Kamina stated as he looked and saw Rarity give Spike a peck on the cheek, making him swoon. 'That's the way little bro, you'll have her yet.'

“It pleases me to meet another, a being of harmony and chaos like no other. Not since I have left my home, have I met one who straightens things out like hair is by comb.” Zecora looked at him intently, making Kamina feel odd, like she was looking into his soul, and she smirked. “I will be paying a visit again soon, I feel it best that I provide you my boon. Should you ever need aid, know that I will help, so be not afraid.”

“I'd be glad to call you a friend Zecora.” Kamina offered, only to be taken by surprise when she kissed him on the cheek.

“Oh, I think not dear, for I would be a fool to pass up such a rear.” Zecora flirted most brazenly, making Kamina fidget as she laughed and trotted off, while everyone else all looked at him with knowing smiles.

“W-what?” Kamina asked nervously, before suddenly bits were being exchanged. “What's going on?”

“Called it; Kamina's got zebra flank in his herd now.” Gilda crowed, making the other victors of the obvious bet laugh, and Kamina grumbled at his sexiness being used as a joke.

“It's not my fault I'm so sexy.” Kamina growled, before being kissed on both cheeks by his marefriends, and he smiled before hugging them both. “Whatever, I'm good.”

Author's Notes:

Yes, Zecora. YES! I love that exotic mare, and I want her to be more involved with the story. Seriously, it is hard to find any stories that feature our resident canon zebra, and while she won't be featured here, she'll have a more central role than in most AUs.

Also; R63 Rainbow Dash; Rainbow Blitz, is now taking her role in the cast. Because seriously, male griffins can grow to be way bigger, and I'm not about to try anything like that with petite little sporty Dash.

No.
