I deleted a few paragraphs at the end of last chapter because I did not like them and did not adequetely represent the direction I want the story to go.

Blossomforth was a pitiful sight. Her solid form was halfway melted and submerged into a puddle of her own viscous flesh. Bloodshot drooping eyes and tear stains decorated the face and skull of Blossomforth which threatened to melt and become consumed into the viscous, shifting mass.

Bloss was revulsed with herself. She was ashamed of the legacy she was left with. A race of cold blooded psychopathic monsters devoid of empathy. She was doomed to be this creature. Every instinct and bodily function honed and perfected for one purpose: complete organic domination. By all rights she should not exist. She deserved to be a normal pony. She did not deserve to be routinely tempted by this power. The ponies and creatures of this planet did not deserve to be so easily threatened with assimilation and mental death.

Then again, Mother Nature was a bitch. Mother Nature does not care if an earthquake kills tens of thousands of ponies. Was it fair to them? No. Reality did not care for fairness, there were immutable laws to the universe, things no pony could control. Who could control a mile wide nickel meteorite projectile hurtling into the planet to wipe out civilization? Who could stop an incomprehensibly advanced eldritch abomination bent on world domination?

It seemed she was destined to become just that. Her entire body, being, instincts, and genetics were built for this purpose. She was the next natural disaster, a force of nature itself. Nothing but a tool, a weapon of nature's apocalypse.

Fuck that.

She still had her mind! Albeit routinely assaulted by temptations, instincts, visions, voices, and the supreme pleasure of assimilation she still had her free will! She would fight for it and the future of the innocent life on the planet. She still remembered when she was a pony. Fuck mother nature, fuck her monstrous ancestors' plan, and fuck Thingpone. She was a strong independent eldritch abomination and she would not be intimidated by nightmarish memories and instincts!

Blossomforth proceeded to climb out of her pitiful puddle the way one would climb out of a hole. She set hoof on the grass as her puddle shrank and reformed into her usual pony self, creaking and making wet sounds as her bones cracked into place and her flesh flowed around them.

Once fully formed she sat on her haunches, rump collapsing in a heap. Her eyes were bloodshot but focused, a frown on her face and a few lingering uncontrollable sniffles. The wind breezed and flowed around her, shifting her fur softly and the sun provided a warm sensation. For now at least her mind was clear, free from visions and dark thoughts left only to wonder at the intricate designs of nature, the complex clouds slowly shifting shapes in the sky and the trees shifting in the fall wind, their leaves showing the slightest hint of turning colors. The stress and anxiety she experienced slowly left her as she put in the effort to clear her mind and relaxed as she watched the beauty of nature.

She decided right then and there that this was something she was determined to protect. The world she had seen devoured by the veteran Hivemind was devoid of life and ugly, homogenized and consumed and dead. She would show Thingpone and the ancestors that attempted to program her that there was a better way.

With new determination, Blossomforth took flight towards Ponyville on the skyline. As she soared through the sky she suddenly remembered that she had planned to meet with Anon to do yoga together. Such a quaint social meeting seemed distant and unimportant at the moment but it might be just what she needed to ground herself and find support. She sighed, what could she even do now? She did not know how to stop the voices and urges but maybe she could find some respite in practicing what she loved to do.

Blossomforth closed her eyes briefly and sighed softly as she flew, despite her troubles a smile cracked on her face at the thought of toying with the socially awkward Anon.

--------

I nervously paced in the lobby. Blossomforth would be here any minute now to stretch with me. I had never actually stretched with a partner before but I had read on the internet that assisted stretching was very beneficial because the person being stretched could completely relax the muscles while the assister focused on the stretch. It was something I always wanted to try but I could not gather the courage to share my hobby with anyone else.

Blossomforth was something else! I could not believe how talented she was. Her ability to strike such flexible poses yet steadily keep control of her limbs while she did was a thing of beauty. The image of her supple, toned, and defined muscles was burned in my memory. Every time she shifted to keep her balance I could pick out the different muscles within her plot that flexed, tightened, and pushed against her fur. She had undoubtedly spent countless hours building her voluminous, strong yet flexible muscles. They swam in a symphony beneath her fur hinting at her accomplishments.

I could not deny that I was attracted to her. The carefree bubbly attitude that she expressed when we talked last made her all the more sexier. Her smile might be a little on the weird side sometimes but everyone had their quirks, right? Was it so bad being attracted to a cute pony? I mean it wasn’t like she was a dumb animal that could not communicate or make her own decisions.

My vague half formed awkward thoughts about bestiality and the morality of being attracted to a pony were interrupted by a sudden clopping on the door. Welp, this was it. I slowly walked to the door, took a deep calming breath and opened.

Blossomforth greeted me with a bright smile and bright eyes. Upon closer inspection her eyes also looked a bit tired and slightly red. Bloss proceeded to hop right though the doorway.

“Hey, Nony! How you doing? Ready to get bendy?”

She trotted forward and looked up at me enthusiastically. I smiled back at her.

“Of course! I’m warmed up and ready. Just finished running and warming up to get that blood pumping. Are you tired? Your eyes look a little red.”

Blossom’s smile waned slightly, almost imperceptibly.

“I just have a bit more than usual on my plate at the moment. Nothing to worry about.”

I gazed at her and she seemed to shy slightly at the scrutiny. I had a sudden urge to scratch her ears for some reason. I decided not to pry.

“Alright then, I have a nice carpeted room upstairs where we can stretch. I have to say the last time you surprised me with your stretching, it looked incredible! I am wondering if I have any hope of keeping up haha!”

“Oh, don’t worry Anon. I can coach you and show you where you need to improve.”

With that we climbed up the stairs into the room I had cleared for stretching. I stripped off the sweatshirt to be left with an underarmor elastic type shirt that I special ordered from Rarity as well as my basketball shorts.

"I guess we can start with some basic leg stretches."

I dropped slowly down into the straddle splits. I smirked slightly to myself proudly as I looked down, my hip bones touched the floor in my first warmup stretch!

"So, Bloss. How did you start training contortion?"

As I gazed up I was surprised to see Blossomforth's left hind leg lifted up backwards and reaching straight up in an active stretch. Her gluteus maximus muscle in her plot was compressed between her hind leg and back and engaged to keep the leg steady which caused the muscle to bulge and protrude outward while being squashed between her leg and hip. Her hip flexor muscles were stretched but still defined and beside that was her slightly moist- Moving on.

(https://derpicdn.net/img/view/2014/2/11/549482.png )

Her left hind leg slowly drifted back down to the floor and she began to slowly lift her right hind leg. It was beautiful. Bloss put on a thoughtful look as she looked back at me and glanced at her erect hind leg.

"Hmm, well since I was a filly I played sports and saw some of the older fillies doing some stretches. I wanted to know how it would feel to do the same so I stretched until I was more flexible. I did not realize just how far the body could go until I saw some gymnasts and circius contortionists when I was older. I knew then I wanted to experience their level of flexibility for myself and maybe even see just how far the body could go. I've been doing this for years. I love how it feels and the sense of accomplishment in removing the barriers to free movement is awesome. How about you, Anon?"

I rotated my torso and legs to the left from the straddle stretch into an attempted split. To my frustration, my splits still would not go down all the way and I was left in an awkward split stretch with my knee slightly bent. I turned my head towards her and this time her leg was lifted to the side in a straddle stretch giving me a full view of her stretched adductor muscles, bands visible in her fur that led the eye to her... moist area. As her leg reached the hight of her stretch she turned her head to look at me. I fought to keep my face from becoming red.

"Well, on Earth there is something called the Internet. It's basically a network of technologically advanced machines that allowed humans like me to communicate and share information very quickly and efficiently. In this internet I watched an animated cartoon called Avatar: the Last Air Bender. One of the characters was able to do a handstand and then lower her feet to plant them on top of her own head! Her name was Ty Lee. (https://youtu.be/7ApAlPoTYJs?t=4m29s (backup image)) I thought this was amazing but thought it was probably impossible to do. Boy was I wrong! After looking though the internet I discovered that this and even more flexible poses were possible! I thought I was a bit old when I started, fourteen years, but I was determined to experience it even though so many people on the internet told me that it was impossible for males to do. They were proven wrong with a little more research. Unfortunately, I quit a few times which really slowed my progress but I stretch pretty consistently today."

"Wow..." said Blossomforth. She lowered her hind leg thoughtfully. "It's cool that you decided to do something despite everyone telling you it was impossible!"

I rotated my torso and focused on stretching my splits on the other side. I was able to bring my hips to the floor but just barely, it was pretty awkward and my hips where no where close to being square. At least I was slowly experiencing progress, this was the second time in a row that my hips touched the floor!

"Hey Anon, look! I'm Ty Lee!" I came out of the stretch slightly to see Blossomforth performing a hoof stand with her hind legs dangling above her and her face facing away from me. She brought her hind legs together and ever so slowly bent her back, lowering her hind hooves above her head and slowly bringing her head up to look at me. The bands of muscle in her back becoming more pronounced as they compressed and flexed to bend the back and keep her balance. She grinned as her hind hooves lowered above her head to touch her scalp. Her entire weight was balanced on her forehooves.

I came out of my stretch and crawled closer to her amazed by her expert balance and smiled at her. I suddenly had an excellent idea.

"You certainly are!" With that I reached out with my hand towards her face. Her eyes crossed as they tracked my hand. I gently pressed my index finger against her snout.

"Boop!"

Her muzzle instantly scrunched, her eyes widened and crossed even more, and a strange hungry look crossed her face as my finger made contact. As I made contact, I felt some small prick like a static shock and a strange warm feeling came over my finger. Her snout seemed to be made of putty and squished more than I expected. For a second I thought my finger would be stuck inside her nose somehow but that was just my ridiculous imagination at work. Her tongue came out of her mouth as if she wanted to lick my finger but it hesitated. Suddenly she retracted her tongue and her nose seemed to solidify, my finger became unstuck. Blossomforth uncrossed her eyes, looked at me a little bewildered. She seemed to recover, and put on a small pout.

"H-Hey! N-Not fair! I'm stretching!"

She looked like she was close to panicking and my hand seemed to fall asleep. Suddenly a mischievous grin appeared on her face. My face was quite close to hers grinning stupidly at her booping vulnerability.

Without warning, her left hind leg extended and reached forwards towards me. At the same time the knee of her right leg bent and shifted backwards away from me to keep her center of mass balanced above her front hooves. Without time for me to react or move away, her left hind hoof booped my nose with another small prickly feeling of electric shock. I shook my hand as the numbing feeling slowly went away. It was my turn to scrunch my face.

"BOOP!"

(An illustration of this scene I requested. I picture Bloss being slightly smaller! See >>1078380 in Derpibooru.)

"Wow! I hope I did not unbalance you, you seemed to panic a little bit back there. I guess I deserved that boop."

Her right leg unbent and shifted forwards returning to her scalp and her left leg retracted and both her hind hooves once again rested on her scalp.

"You sure did Nony! Never boop a filly while she’s stretching!”

"I'll be sure to remember that for next time, heh. But anyways, that looked incredible! You looked just like Ty Lee! With all your hooves busy I could not resist booping you, I guess they were less busy than I thought. Did you do that incredible hoofstand without warmup? I usually have to warm up a lot to get to my best backbending."

Blossomforth lifted her right hind leg off of her head and brought it backwards and reached forward with her left hind leg transforming the hoofstand into an areal split. Her spine uncurled gracefully as her right hoof lowered and touched down behind her followed by her left hoof.

"I miiight have done some stretching a bit earlier."

In actuality, she had not stretched earlier that day but she still wanted to surprise Anon with her Ty Lee impression so she cheated a bit, using her advanced biology to her advantage to loosen up the muscles. She would rather have stretched up naturally but despite being surprised by Anon's boop, booping anon back with her hind hoof was priceless.

"Let's see what you can do anon. I want to see your backbending and frontbending."

"Hold your hors- er, hooves. Some of us have not warmed up yet! Let me do some warmup cobras at least. I like to do active stretching cobras to warm up but I don't have anything to secure my feet. You think you could maybe stand on them or secure them in some way?"

----

Oh dang, time for more physical contact time. Blossomforth had been doing quite a good job at keeping her anatomy realistically pony and keeping cheating to a minimum. She even limited herself to the skills she had earned before her transformation. Despite this, she slipped a little when Anon surprised her by booping her nose. A sudden burst of flavorful DNA tasted from Anon's finger distracted her for a split second causing some of her instincts to take over rapidly. Her snout softened as she subconsciously wanted more of anon's finger inside of her to taste, she injected Anon with only a few her microscopic stingers to numb his hand, and her tongue was ready to wrap around his finger, hand, and arm numbing his limbs as it snaked up his arm to paralyze the helpless Anon.

(https://derpicdn.net/img/view/2015/5/11/893720.png )

Thankfully, she recovered quickly before her tongue decided to ensnare Anon. Instead she thought quickly and was able to boop anon on his nose with her hind hoof, sprouting stingers on the bottom of her hoof to inject Anon with an antidote to her paralyzing agent before the neurotoxin had any serious effects.

It was time to concentrate, she definitely did not want to awaken Thingpone and she didn't want another close call.

"S-sure thing, Anon."

Nervously, she made sure her hooves were extra solid and stepped on anon's feet. She concentrated. She could not completely ignore the tasty DNA that leaked into her hooves. It tasted like heaven. Like nothing she had ever tasted in Equestria. Everything was new, enzymes and other things she had never encountered were hinted.

She tore her concentration away from the tasty fragments of DNA she was tasting with her contact and instead concentrated on Anon's stretches. He was performing a cobra active stretch, it was basically the opposite of a crunch. Instead of bending forward he was bending backwards. He was laying on his stomach, the muscles in his back and abs were being flexed to lift his head and shoulders into a cobra. He did not use his arms to support the stretch, it being active stretch. The two bands of muscle parallel and surrounding his spine engaged and bulged under his skin as they compressed with the cobra backbend to keep his torso and shoulders suspended above the floor. Anon did a few more repetitions and finished. Blossom stepped off of Anon's feet with a sense of relief.

"Wow, Anon! That was great, keep up that active stretching and your muscle control while bending backwards will improve."

"Thanks, Bloss. I love doing active stretching as a warmup, it really gets the blood flowing to those specific muscles. You want to do some bridges together? Judging by your backbend hoofstand it might be a little too easy for you."

Blossom felt a bit guilty for cheating and skipping her warmup stretches.

"No! I don't mind doing bridges with you. Let's get started."

"Alright then, I'll start."

Anon stood up and and raised his hands up above his head and started to bend backwards, starting to curl his back. He leaned forwards with his legs and hips to keep the center of mass above his feet.

Blossom watched as anon continued to bend backwards, keeping his arms above his head. She stood up and carefully balanced herself bipedal on her hind hooves. She reached straight up with her forehooves and carefully leaned forward with her hind legs and hips, and bent her spine backwards as she did. She was able to bend her spine much more deeply than Anon which allowed her to shift her hips and hind legs much less than anon had to. This helped because it was more difficult to balance on two hooves than it was on two feet. Anon could not bend his back as much as Bloss but his long legs and feet provided a good counterbalance that kept him balanced. She watched as he fell over and caught himself with his arms into a bridge.

(Bridge)

Blossomforth bent over backward until she was able to see her hind hooves in the top of her vision. She reached up with her forehooves and grasped the cannons on her hind legs.

(https://derpicdn.net/img/view/2012/6/20/12479.png )

“Geez bloss! You make it look so easy!” said Anon from his bridge position. He could not touch his feet much less fold over backwards and grasp his ankles. He was still about half a foot away from reaching his feet.

“I think you might touch your feet soon in a few months if you practice often!”

Blossomforth bent her knees still grasping her canons and lowered her chest to the floor in a chest stand.

(>>610961 in derpibooru)

Anon lowered himself out of his bridge sitting up to look at Blossom. “You think so, Bloss?”

----

As I turned to see Blossomforth she was looking at me, her face between her own legs with her chin resting on her forehooves. Her voluminous plot now sat on top of her own head, making her ears flop to the sides to make room for her butt. Her snatch was directly above her face. “I know so!” As if to punctate her point she crossed her hind legs that were seated on her head.

“You are talented, you know that? And to be perfectly honest you look really cute in that position. My goal is to be as flexible as you someday.”

Blossom blushed a little and smiled. “Thanks, Anon. It’s great to have someone to stretch with and I am sure if you are consistent for long enough you can get to my level. Want to try some frontbending now?”

“Sure, I like to do it on the bed though it’s easier for me that way.”

“Sounds good to me!” Bloss uncrossed her hind legs and pushed her chest from the ground with her forehooves and put her weight on her hind legs and grasped her canons with her forehooves. She uncurled her back and stood bipedal once again and dropped her forehooves to the ground. “Show me the way.”

Blossomforth followed me into my room and I sat on my bed. She hopped on the bed next to me.

“I guess I’ll go first.”

I scooted back into the bed and lay on my back. I grasped my foot and brought it behind my head in a half knot. I felt the stretch deeply. Blossomforth watched sitting with her haunches on the foot of the bed.

“This is how humans do the ‘human knot’. I am doing a half knot at the moment but I can get both feet behind my head and cross them.”

“Wow! That’s so cool! I have never tried to cross my hooves behind my head, I think my canons would get in the way. You are so lucky to be able to do that it looks so comfy!”

I finished the stretch and brought the other foot in a half knot to warm up.

“Heh, at least there is something I can do that you can’t.”

I brought my other foot behind my head and crossed them. I placed both of my hands on my butt.

“This is how I stretch my frontbend.”

I pulled my but and it came closer to my face. I felt the stretch deeply in my spine and tried to relax my legs to get the best frontbend stretch.

(Human Knot)

“Wow! You might have a better frontbend than I do! Have you ever tried... you know...” The tips of her ears tinged red.

My face blushed as well, my face was only a few inches from my crotch in this position I could see Bloss peering over my package to see me. “To be perfectly honest I try sometimes. I can only get the tip in. I am getting better though. I had no idea you were a deviant, I thought you were an innocent little pony!”

Now Blossomforth’s face began to turn red. “Well, uhmm... meep?”

Blossomforth tried to hide behind one of her wings in the cutest way possible.

“He-he Hahahaha!”

I burst out laughing and had to fall out of the human knot position to prevent stitches from forming in my compressed stomach. Blossomforth’s face turned a deeper shade of red as I began laughing at the little pony deviant. It was so funny to discover that little Blossomforth thought of these things, she was the last one I expected.

“He-he! Want to show me your frontbend? Sorry for embarrassing you.”

She folded her wing but her face was still a bit red.

“That’s alright Anon. I suppose I am a bit of a deviant. Promise not to tell anyone though, ok?”

“Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye!”

“Thanks, Anon. Alright, I’ll show you my frontbend.”

I grinned and flopped on my stomach with my chin on my palms watching her. Blossomforth smiled and proceeded to lay down on the bed. She brought her hind legs up and flexed both of her hind legs forward until her hind hooves touched her snout. She spread her hind legs slightly and curled her torso forward in a crunch motion doing a frontbend active stretch. She dived her forelegs between her hind legs and slid her cannons behind the shoulders of her forelegs and used the leverage to deepen the frontbend. Her pussy was clearly visible, stuck up into the air on her pelvis and her head was a few inches away from it.

(>>1002158 in derpibooru)

“Have you ever, you know...”

Blossomforth sighed. “It’s much harder for mares. I managed to make contact with my tongue once but I overstretched and it sent me back a lot.” She glanced at her marehood, kept the stretch going for a few seconds and released.

I frowned “Ouch, I hope you recover. I have had that happen to me a few times, almost made me quit. I sat up and crossed my legs indian style on the bed. Is there anything you can suggest to me to improve my backbend?”

Blossomforth sat up on her haunches on the bed and touched her forehoof to her chin thoughtfully.

“Well, something I noticed is you should work on your shoulder flexibility. This will help you reach your feet easier in the bridge stretch and help you focus on your upper back. You should do wall stretches to open your shoulders, reach up the wall and keep your elbows straight. Try to bring your armpits to touch the wall. This should help you deepen the backbend.”

(https://derpicdn.net/img/view/2016/3/8/1104636.png )

I reached out to scratch Blossom’s ear. My hand felt an odd numbing sensation, Blossom’s eyes widened in surprise and the feeling quickly faded. She smiled and rubbed her mane and face against my hand. “Thank you for the advice, Bloss. I never really thought much about the shoulders, that was really insightful.” I continued to scratch her ear because she seemed to enjoy it. She closed her eyes in pleasure...

“Um, Anon?”

“Yeah?”

“This might sound weird but I was wondering if you wan...”

“Say that again?”

“I was wondering if you wanted to.. goutonadate.”

My mind suddenly went blank.

Surprisingly long chapter but I had a lot of fun making it! I hope you enjoy it and the descriptions are clear helped along with the pictures I embedded.

Please tell me your thoughts, I want to know them!

Please tell me if the descriptions are unclear or any other problems.

Again, pictures of Anon are pictures of me. Le shitty self insert.

I love contortion.
