Author's Notes:

There's another clop scene in this. The only problem is it's at the top. That's fine though because a lot of story happens after it.

THERE IS ANOTHER CLOP SCENE HERE. I’VE MARKED OFF WHERE YOU CAN START THE STORY IF YOU WANT TO SKIP PAST THIS. IF YOU ARE READING THE CLOP, PLEASE REMEMBER THAT DERRICK IS STILL GENDER BENT.

“How are you going to rock my world then?” Derrick asked with an uneasy smile.

“Oh come on,” she leaned down, nipping at his neck.”Don’t you trust me?”

“Of course I do. That smile just makes me feel a bit uneasy.” He moaned a bit at her nipping and roughly squeezed one of her breasts in response.

“You know...I could be anyone you want...” she nibbled his ear, giving it a tug.

“You’re a changeling … oh right. You can shift forms. Why not … just be yourself?” He said, panting a bit from what she was doing to him.

She gave him a smile. “If that's what you want...” she reached up, grabbing his breasts, rubbing her thumbs across his nipples. He could only gasp at the sensation, not used to feeling anything like this. Trying to imitate her, Derrick grabbed her breasts, and lightly rubbed against her nipples.

“That's it...don’t be afraid to ‘explore’.” She winked at him, moving her hands down to his hips.

“You’re really into this, aren’t you?” Derrick asked, leaning to the side and rolling over, bringing Freya on top of him.

“And you aren’t?” she asked, looking down at him.

“Of course I am. I just still can’t believe I got gender swapped.” Derrick answered with a sensual smile, rubbing his hands up and down her sides before playing with her folds.

She moaned, arching her back. “That's it...keep doing that~”

Smiling even more at this, he played with them a bit more before gently inserting a couple of fingers, slowly moving them in and out, feeling his fingers get coated with her juices.

“Oooh~” she moaned, kissing him. “You sure you’ve never done this before?”

“I’m definitely sure of that. Am I really that good?” He kissed her back, steadily thrusting his fingers faster and faster.

“That and you taste wonderful...” she pulled him into a kiss, her horn still glowing.

Falling back onto the bed once she let go, he wondered what else he could do with his other hand. Moving it to the top of her folds, he found a little nub. “This is new …” he muttered, lightly flicking to see if it garnered any reaction.

She gasped, her body going stiff. “Now that’s the spot~”

Pleased at having found a new pleasure centre, he started to flick the nub quickly while simultaneously thrusting his fingers in and out of her.

She moaned, moving her hand down, doing the same to him.

He gasped at that, momentarily pausing as new waves of pleasure washed over him. After getting used t it, he moaned, restarting the motions from before.

“I told you this was amazing…” she moaned out, nipping at his nipples, raking her fangs over one.

He couldn’t speak as his brain overloaded at the sensations. All he could do was continuously flick her nub and thrust his fingers, squirming slightly as he felt an unfamiliar pressure build.

She did the same to his nub, purring softly as she drank in the lust.

He squirmed some more, moaning out as he felt her flick his nub. His fingers slowed their thrusting as he felt the pressure build more, feeling it threaten to release.

“Yes!” she cried out, licking her lips, panting heavily.

Feeling the pressure peak, he moaned out loudly, feeling something squirt out of him. After having experienced his first orgasm, Derrick, laid still, panting heavily with a dopey smile on his face. “That … was … amazing~” He said dopily.

“I told you...” she huffed, leaning down, kissing him deeply. Derrick kissed her back just as deeply, propping himself up on his elbows.

“I am ... definitely not going back ... to being a male ... after this.” He panted.

“I also told you you’d be saying that as well,” she smirked, nuzzling him. Smiling at her, Derrick nuzzled back and sat up fully, holding Freya as she sat on his lap.

“I’m going to need a new name, aren’t I?” He asked.

“Only if you want to,” she rested her head on his chest, her horn losing its glow.

“How about Crystal?” He asked.

“I like it…” she said, yawning softly.

“That’s good to know.” Crystal said, yawning as well. She leaned back on the bed, still holding Freya as she did. She closed her eyes, dozing off with a frazzled smile on her muzzle.
THIS IS WHERE THE CLOP ENDS AND THE STORY BEGINS

“Let me get this straight. Yggdrasil is a world tree and is connected to nine different realms?” Twilight asked, tapping a quill against her chin.

“They’re actually universes and there are about ten of them now,” Hodge corrected, eating a bag of pork rinds.

“Oh.” Twilight said, quickly correcting the notes.

“What kind of universes are they? I wasn’t really paying attention.” Pinkie asked, putting her hand up.

“Did I also mention, about seven of those were made from the body of a giant?” he asked, making sure to crunch his food as obnoxiously as possible.

“No, I don’t think you did,” Twilight answered, quickly scanning her notes. “That is very interesting how they’re made from giants though.” she continued, doing her best to ignore the crunching.

“No, no, seven entire universes were made from one guy, who was murdered in his sleep.”

“Um, oh. Well then. That’s certainly something.” Twilight said, blinking a bit to try and wrap her head around it.

“Don’t think too hard on it Twi, you’re not rated for Void logic.” he said, holding up a instruction booklet with her picture on the front.

“There’s an instruction booklet on me?” Twilight asked, dumbstruck. “Why am I not that surprised by it?”

“As it turns out, Pinkie is a defective model.”

“I am? Whoopee! I’m defective!” Pinkie said in delight waving her arms in the air. “Wait. Why am I even defective in the first place?”

“You know and do things no mere mortal should...” Hodge mumbled, “Anyway, don’t piss Yggdrasil off or it’ll eat you.”,

“I’m going to take that literally.” Pinkie said, giving Hodge a salute.

“You should.” he nodded his head. “ Anyway, what do you want to know next, or have the authors decided to move onto something other than exposition?”

“Definitely something other than exposition. They feel it’s getting a bit stale now.” Pinkie replied, nodding sagely.

“Oh good,” he smiled, “So, Jason’s going to stay a while, beat Derrick into shape, make a man, or shall I say...woman out of him...”

“Sounds good to me.” Pinkie agreed, trying to stifle a laugh.

“Woman? He doesn’t want to change back?” Twilight asked, putting her notes and quill away.

“Nope.” He smirked. “Anyway, you two want to go back to being lovely ladies or give all the fan girls a yaoi scene? I’m not into it myself but you know some who read this story are.”

“I wouldn’t want to disappoint the fans but sadly, we both want to be changed back.” Pinkie said, giving Twilight a smile.

“Oh, right. Yeah, I … don’t want to do whatever a yaoi scene is.” Twilight told him, thinking about it for a bit. Hodge nodded, changing them back.

“I am curious. Which way do you two swing in this world?” he asked, coiling around them.

“Bisexual.” Pinkie said immediately, not shy about her sexual preference. Twilight, on the other hand, blushed immensely and mumbled which way she swung.

“What was that my dear? I couldn’t quite hear you.” Hodgepodge said, sticking a hearing aid in his ear.

“Lesbian.” Twilight said quickly, idly prodding both her forefingers together.

“Than you two are perfect for each other! I know Twipie is a bit of an odd ship but I love it!” he smirked. “And if you ever want foals, I could easily switch you to Dusk Shadow or Bubble Berry...come to think of it...should R63 Pinkie have Pie in his name? Who does he think he is anyway?”

“Someone completely different on account of him being male.” Pinkie answered, not noticing that Twilight’s blush grew redder.

“Well? Kiss already!”

“Oh fine!” Twilight said, goaded into it. Getting a determined look, she walked over to Pinkie, turned her around to face her, and kissed her deeply. Pinkie smiled and kissed back, wrapping her arms around Twilight.

Hodge just stared, his jaw hanging open. “You know...I was just messing with ya,...I didn’t expect you to do it...”

“It’s too late to say it now, now is it?” Twilight asked, smirking as she wrapped an arm around Pinkie’s shoulders.

“Wait...you two were together this whole time weren’t you!? You’ve been playing me this whole time!?”

“Yup! We didn’t expect you to ask us about which way we swung but the jig is up now~” Pinkie sang, poking her tongue out at Hodge playfully.

“You win this time girls,” he narrowed his eyes at them, “But I will have my vengeance!!”

“We’ll be waiting for that revenge. Don’t you worry about it.” Twilight smirked.

“Surprise!” he flicked her nose. “You’re in heat! Have fun Bubble Berry!” he snapped his fingers before exploding into confetti.

“I’m going to get that draconequus back.” She grumbled, her face of shock turned to one of frustration as she rubbed her thighs together.

“Sleep well?” Jason asked, looking down at Crystal, his eyebrow raised. Freya was nowhere to be seen, leaving just the two of them.

“Hi, Jason.” Crystal greeted, looking up at him. “Would it be a bad thing if I said yes?”

“No, but keep what Freya and you did to yourselves, I really don’t need to hear it.” He responded, tossing her clothes on the bed.

“Right. I can definitely do that.” Crystal replied, putting her clothes on.

“Freya and I are going to be staying awhile, train your ass into shape. I’m not going to lie, I’m going to beat you into the ground while I do it.”

“I have no doubt you will. We could probably train back at Ponyville if you’re staying a while, or out in the snow would do.” Crystal suggested, her eyes widening.

“We can train in Ponyville,” he nodded, “At least until we start getting to the really destructive spells.”

“Destructive?” Crystal asked excitedly. “There’s a magic guild near Ponyville called Fairy Tail. I heard it from someone who was on a job here. Fairy Tail is the most destructive guild in Fiore, well, Equestria in this case. I’m sure the more destructive spells will be fine to use near Ponyville.”

“One of these spells destroyed a world once.” Jason looked at him. “Out in the snow would be best for that leave of spell.”

“The snow would be the best in that case then.” Crystal agreed. “We should get going to Ponyville then right? Seeming that the training is sorted out.”

“We’ll leave when the girls are ready to leave.” He moved to the door. “Freya is with Rarity, getting some clothes made. We can start training now if you want.”

“That’ll be good. The sooner we start, the more intense it will be right?” Crystal replied, following Jason out the door.

“I’m not going to destroy you, relax, besides, I can heal any injury you get...aside from reattaching limbs.”

“What was that last part?” She asked, cupping a hand to her ear. “For a second there, I thought you said you couldn’t reattach limbs.”

“I can’t.” he looked back at her. “I’m not going to sugar coat anything. If you don’t want to be my student, I don't think any less of you for it.”

“Oh, I’ll still be your student, I’m just trying to figure out why I would need my limbs to be reattached in the first place.” Crystal replied with an uneasy smile.

“I’ll try to avoid it.” he nodded, stopping a guard. “Is there a training room nearby?”

“Down this corridor, third door on the right. That room is usually reserved for training guards but there aren’t any guards there so you should be fine.” The guard directed them before continuing on his patrol.

“Thank you,” he replied before leading Crystal down the hallway.

“What are we going to work on first?” Crystal asked, following Jason to the training room.

“What do you want to work on?” he asked, opening the door, walking inside.

“Getting better control of my magic would be a good start.” Crystal suggested, shaking her arms and accidentally sending crystal shards into the door frame as she followed him in.

“...Yeah, we’re going to need to work on that...” he muttered. He moved a bit aways, pulling out a small grey cube, placing it on the floor.

“What the heck is that?” She asked, looking at the cube and crossing her arms in front of her in case she fired off any more shards.

“This is my storage cube, it holds all my stuff.” He sat down, gesturing for her to do the same.

Crystal sat opposite Jason, raising an eyebrow. She gestured for him to continue and looked at the cube curiously. “I don’t think that small thing can hold anything in it.”

He casually reached into it, pulling out his sword. “Any other stupid comments?”

“Nope.” Crystal said, firmly keeping her mouth shut and eyeing the sword warily. He rolled his eyes, putting his sword in.

“Now, do you have any idea how to work magic or is it just instinct?”

“I’ve been getting by on instinct and what I’ve seen my character do on his show but I can’t really … work it.” Crystal explained.

“Right then.” he nodded his head. “I want you to close your eyes alright?”

“Yeah, okay.” Crystal closed her eyes, doing just as he said.

“Now, when you use your magic, even by instinct, you can feel it. What I want you to do is look inside yourself and find that feeling again.”

“This sounds like some Buddhist stuff but okay.” Crystal mumbled and tried to find some sort of magical feeling inside herself. Closing her eyes tighter, she tried even harder to find it when that feeling couldn’t be found the first time.

Jason just watched in silence, pulling out a book, starting to quietly read.

Exhaling rapidly, Crystal tried to calm down by taking in slow, deep breaths. After having successfully done so, she tried again and thought she found a flicker of something. “I ... think I found something. It’s a flicker but it’s there.” Crystal said, her eyes still closed.

“Good, good,” Jason looked up, smiling. “Now, focus on it. Don’t be afraid of it, it’s a part of you. Make it brighten but don’t make it spark.”

Crystal nodded and focussed on the flicker, trying her best to make it even more brighter. Doing a few breathing exercises calmed her down enough to make the flicker bright but as soon as she was aware of it, the flicker dampened.

“I made it bright but as I was aware of it, it dampened.” Crystal called out, her eyes staying shut as she focussed on the flicker some more.

“It’ll take you some time, but you can keep it from dampening, you just have to concentrate on it and not let go.”

“Easy for you to say,” Crystal mumbled and concentrated. This time, she managed to brighten it and actually kept it at that level of brightness. “It seems to be working.”

“Good, now hold out your hand, and will it to manifest.”

Slowly moving her hand out, she splayed her palm and willed her magic to do its work. What manifested was a combination of small crystals and fire. Inching her eyes open, Crystal looked at her hand and a big smile came across her face. “Look! I did it!”

“Good job. Now, do it again.” Jason smirked, leaning back.

Closing her hand and then opening it again, Crystal closed her eyes and concentrated on the bright thing in her, willing her magic to manifest again. Opening her eyes to see if there were any results, she found that the same thing happened again. “It worked again.” Crystal said in slight disbelief.

“Good, that means, at least, you can summon up for magic at will.” He smiled, holding out his own hand, conjuring up a multicolored distortion.

“What. Is that?” Crystal asked, pointing to the distortion in Jason’s hand.

“This...is Ultima, my most powerful spell.” He stared at the distortion, letting it hover over his hand.

“Ultima. That another Final Fantasy spell?” Crystal asked, staring at the distortion intently.

“The most powerful...powerful enough to destroy a world.”

“That certainly sounds lethal.” Crystal blinked at it, then looked up at Jason. Concentrating on the flicker in herself, she opened her palm and found the combination of crystals and fire there again. “I seem to be getting the hang of this.”

“Good, that means I can begin to teach you some of the lower level spells.” Jason got to his feet. “Let’s start with Fire.”

“That one’s simple.” Crystal said, lighting her hand on fire. “What do you want me to do with it?” She asked, scratching her head with her other hand.

“Right, ok, lets try Blizzard.” He sighed, before smiling. “Lets just see how good you are at this.”

“The others should be ready by now.” Crystal said, walking out the door of the training room.

“You did well,” Jason said, shifting back from Hodgepodge, who had restored the training room to normal. “Didn’t think you’d get the base level spells so quickly.”

“Heh, neither did I.” Crystal said with a laugh, holding her vest closed with a bit of crystal acting as a zipper. “The base spells seemed really easy to get once I got hold of that flicker.”

“True, but that's just the base four elemental spells, we haven’t even gotten into the white mage spells, haste, silence, all that good stuff.” Jason closed the door, following her down the hall.

“I don’t think I’ll get those spells.” Cystal said and stopped walking at the end of the hall as she watched Pinkie and Twilight walk by, looking extremely tired and pleased. “What happened to you two?” Crystal asked.

“Something nice...” Pinkie said, wearing a dopey grin on her face.

“Hodge.” Twilight said, giving Jason a soft glare.

“That would explain it. I suppose you both are ready to go?” Crystal asked, stepping back a bit from them.

“We definitely are …” Pinkie answered for both of them.

“That’s good to know. Where’s Freya again?” Crystal asked, looking over her shoulder at Jason.

“With Rarity, come on.” He navigated the castle expertly, humming a soft tune to himself.

The three girls followed him, idly chatting amongst themselves as they headed to their next destination.

“That should be everything, darling.” Rarity told Freya, handing her the bundle of clothes she had wanted. It only took a few hours but after having worked herself to the bone a few times before this particular workload, Rarity felt that it was worth it.

“Thanks m-Rarity...” Freya spoke, taking them. “I’ll just get changed...” she hurried into the backroom, getting changed out of her armor.

“Oh, hello you four. Everything alright?” Rarity asked as she heard footsteps come her way. Looking at the group, she spotted a third girl and wondered who it was. “Who’s this?” She asked, pointing to Crystal.

“This used to be Derrick,” Jason said, placing his hand on the girl’s shoulder.

“Hi, Rarity.” Crystal said, giving a wave.

“She used to be Derrick?” Rarity asked in disbelief, eyes narrowing as she tried to replace the girl with Derrick.

“Yup. Some gender swapping happened and I stayed this way. Also, I go by Crystal now.” Crystal answered, giving Rarity a nod and a smile “If it helps, I made a complete abomination of Pinkie’s costume.” She smirked.

“That does. A lot. You need to replace the colour patches you took.” Rarity said, finally recognising Crystal as Derrick. “I’m not even going to ask about the … gender swap because that seems to be a whole nother can of worms I’d rather not open.” Rarity added.

“Good, it wouldn’t make a whole lot of sense anyway.” Jason laughed, shaking his head. “We ready to go everyone?”

Rarity, Twilight, Pinkie and Crystal all nodded at him.

“We’re ready to go. We missing anyone?” Twilight asked, looking around.

“Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy all went on ahead if that’s what you’re wondering.” Rarity replied.

“Alright!” Freya came out, now decked out in her new clothes. “Let’s get going!!”

“We’re all here now so the only thing left is to go to the train station.” Crystal said, watching Freya run up to the group. “You’re looking good.” She told Freya.

“What are we standing around for then?” Pinkie asked and began leading them to the train station.

Freya smiled, putting her arm around Crystal, pulling her close. Crystal moved closer to her, leaning into the embrace.

“How long is the train from here to Ponyville?” Crystal asked Pinkie.

“About a few hours. It does have to travel down a mountain after all.” Pinkie answered, turning around and clasping her hands behind her back while walking backwards.

“Sounds good to me. I just hope I don’t get motion sickness on the train.” Crystal said, giving Pinkie a smile. “You feel more comfortable in those clothes?” She asked Freya, picking at them.

“Yup! I’m all good now!” she leaned over, giving her cheek a peck. Crystal blushed a bit at the peck.

“Good to hear.” She replied and looked at the station in the distance. “I didn’t think it would be so far to the station.”
