Kamina was not a happy hippogriff.

Discovering you've developed bisexual tendencies, when you'd been straight you're whole life, is something of yet another identity crisis. Kamina couldn't look at stallions the same anymore. He couldn't just look and see a guy; he'd look and see what made him attractive, or unappealing, like he did with mares and other females.

So it'd been awkward when he returned home to Ponyville, and wound up seeing Big Mac. Fuck...Mac was so~ hot...damn it. Kamina was at constant odds with his unusually aggressive libido. Sure, he'd always been able to admit when a guy was handsome, or if he'd get the ladies, but to be attracted? New, scary new. He was so preoccupied, he didn't even complain when Celestia and Luna had to cancel another visit. This time due to some political intrigue in discovering somepony tried to poison Nyx's food.

Luna didn't even wait for legal procedure to send the bastard and his hired assassin to the moon.

This pissed Kamina off, and he would have went to Canterlot, but was advised against it by his mom because she feared she had to clean shop to ensure her family wasn't at risk like this; and would need to start now if he and Cadence were to join them at the Gala. So Kamina tried to cool down the only way he really knew these days.

Cold showers.

Kamina sat under a waterfall on the edge of the Everfree, meditating. {Dicks, dicks everywhere~.} <What, what? Up the butt?> 'I fucking hate you.' Kamina was trying to literally kill this third new personality; which represented his rejected attraction to guys, like how Animak represented his rejections of himself in general. He accepted Animak, and things have been going smoothly, but he refused to accept this Dick's obsession with dicks. Animak, however, was all for it; especially since it promoted the concept of Evolution, of progress. The more ambiguous Kamina was, the greater his potential for trying new things, for discovering new advantages.

Like, being a female. Semi-permanently. Hermaphrodite dual-sexuality. Animak was a fucking ANIMAL! {You know you love it~.} 'Shut. Up.' <Tentacle dicks!> “WRYYYYYYYYYYYY!” Kamina screamed wordlessly in frustration. <Trickster.> Kamina froze, his wings unwillingly extending, throwing water around. <Trickster our trick pony.> 'FUCK NO! I won't use Trixie like that!' {We already do. A lot; remember? Even that one time Twilight talked you into being a mare for a night.} 'ONE TIME! ONE FUCKING TIME!' <One more time!> 'Besides; the Golden Rule, remember? If there's at least one chick involved; it's not gay!' {Unless you're thinking about the dude while you fuck, and still get off. You always do when Trickster's involved.}

Kamina had no words. He couldn't deny that. But he loved Trixie, and Trickster by extension. This led him down a dark road; he couldn't stop thinking about Trickster now! His svelte form, accentuated in all the right places with light muscle tone, and a small healthy amount of fat; giving his plot that slight bit of squeeze that he loved to-. 'NO! No...not...fuck it.' Kamina teleported to Trixie, who was home, cleaning the dishes, and he hugged her from behind, nibbling her ear.

“Whoa~! Tiger~, where'd this come from?” Trixie purred as she arched up into his back in excitement.

“I want you. Now. As a stallion.” Kamina demanded, making her blink and blush.

“C-come again?” He squeezed her flank, making her bite her lip.

“You heard me, Trickster.” Kamina nipped her neck, she couldn't resist.

“Fine! Take me!” Trixie teleported them to the bedroom.

===//////>

They were both under the covers, panting, coated in sweat. Trickster was spent, totally tired as he looked over to Kamina, who had turned herself into a queen hippogriff when she realized she didn't like it up the butt after all. “Holy shit...that was....”

“Fucking amazing....” Kamina finished, not caring anymore. She couldn't hear that third personality at all now. {It's gone. It was a very simple thing. Since you've accepted this, you absorbed it.} 'Fine. I'm better off knowing I'm a bisexual gender fence jumping shapeshifter than being in denial about it.' {Dude, relax~. Remember Leeron?} 'How could I forget?' {He was really, very clearly gay, he was open about it too. And he was still awesome, still cool.} 'Animak; I KNOW being gay has nothing to do with how manly you can be.' {Then why did you have so much trouble with this?} 'I've been straight my whole life; then this happens. You're part of me, you should know this.' {I'm part of you that you originally rejected. I don't know this.}

“Round two?” Trickster asked after getting his breath back, and Kamina considered it.

{No. We have to change back. We're at risk of getting pregnant as it is.} 'WHAT?!' {Dude: hippogriff! We might be a chimeric alicorn, but we're a hippogriff at our base; meaning like them, we could get pregnant from standard intercourse outside the Cycle.} 'Damn it.' Kamina turned back into a king, and sighed in frustration. “No. If we're going to do that regularly; I'll have to get the same contraceptive herbs Gilda uses. I'm a hippogriff, remember?”

“Fuck...I have blue balls right now~!” Trickster bemoaned as he rubbed his groin trough the blanket, getting Kamina excited, and wishing he could go another round. Before he sputtered trying to contain his laughter. “What?”

“Trickster; you're blue. You ALWAYS have blue balls!” Kamina broke out into laughter, and Trickster glared at him.

“Not when I'm a mare!” Trickster pouted with his forelegs crossed over his chest. He shortly joined in with a chuckle, and they started laughing together. “Who'd have thought? The stallion in my life also ends up like me? Bisexual and hopping the gender fence?”

“I sure as hell didn't! I think we can thank Braeburn for this. Actually, hey; I was too in shock at my sudden change in sexuality at the time to care, but how did things turn out?” Kamina asked Trickster, since after he declared Braeburn mayor he got the hell outta there and came home to be alone and try to sort things out.

“Well, Braeburn is the official mayor of Appleloosa. The town cleared a path through the middle of the orchard and promised the tribe apple pies in thanks every time they pass through. Oh! After Blitz explained the situation to us all; Braeburn was really embarrassed that you felt that way about him. This caused us all to admit to him that he was one of the sexiest stallions we've ever known, and Applejack finally gave him “the talk” about the “curse of the Apple Family” or something like that.” Trickster told him, getting him to raise an eyebrow.

“What curse?” Kamina asked incredulously, and Trickster chuckled.

“Okay, quick question? Is Applejack sexy?” Trickster asked, and Kamina smiled.

“Hell yeah! I'd totally bang-.” Kamina clamped his mouth shut. 'What the fuck? I've been trying to send her signals that I want to keep it “just friends” between us.' {No idea; that came out of nowhere.}

“There it is. Applejack explained that every Apple has a natural beauty, and allure to them that just draws the attention of suitors. You just had the misfortune of encountering perhaps the most potent recipient of this generation of Apple's best set of genes.” Trickster explained, getting Kamina to balk at him.

“So wait; my idle fantasies about AJ weren't just idle fantasies? I was being FORCED to think of them?” Kamina had been considering AJ for his herd since the start, but he felt completed with his mares now, and didn't feel the need to add anypony else. 'So, if she was more aggressive...she would have had me by the balls?' {Seems like it.} “But I've been able to resist her, at least to a degree.”

“She explained it's because we got you first. She vented about how she'd been sending you strong signals since you met, and after that, how she felt cheated, how she was jealous of us.” Trickster became sad, and wilted at the thought of one of his friends disliking him for whatever reason. “She felt it was unfair how I and Zecora just fell into your lap, and she was thrown to the side like she didn't matter.”

Kamina felt his chest hurt, his heart was cracking. 'What? But...I didn't want...no...AJ....' {Fuck...we messed up.} 'But I don't feel that way for-.' “*gasp*” Kamina grabbed his chest, and started panting in pain as it felt like his heart was seizing. 'What? No! But I don't love-!' “AGH!”

“Kamina! Kamina don't fight it!” Trickster had learned some of the things about dragons he and Twilight had; especially after Kamina explained he had some draconic traits. “You do love her! It's fine!”

Kamina hissed through his teeth, and felt like his chest was bleeding, he looked down to see his claws had pierced his chest. It wasn't dangerous, but it was rather symbolic. 'Damn it AJ...I'm sorry.' {We need to fix this somehow. Either we take her in too, or she lets us go.} “Gotta go Trickster; I need to talk to a certain orange mare.” Kamina lit up his horn and teleported, leaving a worried Trickster in bed...who frowned at the blood-stained blanket.

“Oh fiddlesticks....”

===//////>

Kamina appeared at the Apple home on Sweet Apple Acres, and knocked on the door. He waited patiently until Big Mac opened the door. “Hey there Kamina. What's the occasion? It ain't the weekend.”

'Fuck, it's hard to keep looking him in the eyes.' {Sexy, deep, thought-filled eyes.} 'Cut it out! Friend zone him!' {Noted.} “Mac; I need to talk to AJ.”

Mac noticed the lines of blood running down Kamina's chest, and blinked in surprise. “You're bleedin'.”

“It's nothing. Where can I find her?” Kamina pressed, and Mac struggled to ignore his friend's injury to send him off.

“If you're alright, then fine, she's off in the west orchard today.” Big Mac must have been working on the ledger; it was Thursday after all.

“Thanks. Has Fluttershy approached you yet?” Kamina told Mac not long after Animak's near take-over about how he spilled the beans. The gentle stallion forgave him pretty easily, but he was still hurt that Animak did that.

Mac smiled, his eyes twinkling. “Eeyup! Got a date set for the Gala. I'm going to be her plus one.”

Kamina beamed at the news. “Good for you man.” They brofisted, and Kamina turned to leave.

“Don't hurt her.” Mac warned dangerously all of a sudden, and Kamina froze to look back at the dire faced Big Mac; all gentleness gone. “If you break her heart; I will break you.”

“I know. And I won't stop you.” Kamina turned and kept walking, feeling somewhere between like he was walking to his own funeral, or his own wedding. An odd mixture of dread, and excitement. 'My heart is racing...I've only felt like this....' {With our mares.} 'Yeah...when did this happen?' {It must have been some time ago; you just kept denying her.} Kamina continued to reflect on all the times AJ had flirted with him, been close to him, even gave him her full attention when really she would have normally divided it more evenly.

He snapped out of it to the familiar sound of hooves striking bark. Of a familiar mare's voice panting, grunting, cheering. Kamina just realized how turned on she made him. He always ignored it when they worked together, he kept his mind on the task at hoof. Was he still thinking of her subconsciously? He'd eye her now and then, but he never thought too hard on it. Just how long had she known? How long had Mac known, and kept quiet about it? He thought of how he enjoyed her company, how she made him laugh, made him happy. How her honest heart just astounded him, how her fortitude amazed him, how her genuine love and care for those she calls friend...or more, sent him soaring.

“Whew! That one was a tough one for sure!” Kamina rounded the last bend of trees to see AJ sitting down, wiping her brow with her signature red bandanna, and then picking up a wood tankard of water to chug it down. He watched her neck convulse with the swallows, how even such a normal action caused her skin to ripple in muscular excellence. His wings raised, his heart pounded, his Captain Kamina was not shy about coming to the fore.

'I want her. So bad.' Kamina silently approached her as she finished downing the mug of clear liquid, and she sighed in joy at how refreshing it was, still keeping her eyes closed to relish the moment of refreshment.

“Whew...okay, back to-.” She opened her eyes, and dropped her cup, leaning back in a blush of surprise at how Kamina was mere inches from her face. “Oh! H-hey there Kamina. Nice to-.” Kamina pounced on her, mashing his lips with hers. She was confused for only a moment, before she grabbed his head in her forehooves, and kissed back with just as much passion.

Their tongues wrestled, she fell on her back, he pinned her to the grass with his body. They writhed against one another as they made out, only breaking for a few split seconds to breath, their noses flaring rapidly to try and get enough air. Finally, they broke off, but didn't stop there. Kamina started nibbling down her chest, her belly, heading towards the valley of the promised land, making AJ blush even brighter. “H-here? In the open?”

He paused and looked at her with a sly smile. “Why not?”

“S-someone could see us...t'aint decent....” Kamina nipped one of her nipples, making her cry out, and coo when he suckled her. “N-no~...not outside....”

“Then where? My place?” His horn lit up, and AJ quickly nodded. They were gone in a flash, and overhead was Blitz, who was extremely turned on by the foreplay he'd seen just now.

“Holy fuck...that was hot as hell.” Blitz smirked, and suddenly realized something. “Pinkie's the only one still single....” He beamed and pumped a hoof. “Woo! I won the bet!” Blitz bolted off to Sugarcube Corner to gloat to the only bachelorette left in their group of friends. He felt it ironic it was the party pony who wound up being the last one single, which was why he bet she'd be last to get someone to try and beat the odds. The bits were a nice bonus too.

Author's Notes:

Eeyup! I finally decided to go for Applejack. Because damn it; I've been doing something I told myself I'd never do: Ignore AJ.

She deserved attention, and I've been neglecting her by having Kamina ignore her, try to keep her as "just a friend" when she clearly wanted more, and from the beginning too.

So now: Pinkie's the only single mare left! AND IT'S STILL ONLY THE FIRST SEASON~!
