"Okay, so here are the rules of the game," Twilight announced as we munched on the s'mores Pinkie had provided everyone. "We'll pick one pony to go first, randomly. She can pick anyone in the room to challenge. That pony has to choose 'truth' or 'dare'. If she chooses 'truth', she has to honestly answer one question from the one who challenged her. If she chooses 'dare', she has to do whatever the challenger dares her to do. Then the one who was challenged gets to challenge anypony else, other than the one that just challenged her. Simple enough?"

"Let's keep in mind, with the dares, that everypony here is injured. Let's not make the injuries any worse, okay?" I pointed out. I didn't want my marefriends hurting each other over a stupid game.

"If you aren't up to the challenge, you can switch from 'truth' to 'dare', or 'dare' to 'truth', but only once," Twilight continued. "And that's all there is to it."

"Great. Then I'll go first," Rarity began.

Fluttershy quietly mumbled something that was probably an objection.

"Fluttershy goes first," I stated in a tone that brooked no disagreement.

"What, why Fluttershy?" Rarity objected.

"What if I don't want to go first," I think is what Fluttershy questioned.

"Hay, if you go first you can't be challenged first, or second," Rainbow said, encouraging the shy pony.

"Alright, fine. Fluttershy can go first if she wants to," Rarity said.

"I said it was supposed to be random," Twilight voiced her own objection.

"It's Fluttershy's turn," I said seriously. Twilight sighed and let it go.

"Okay, umm, since you wanted to go Rarity, I pick you," Fluttershy offered sweetly.

"Dare," Rarity said. "A mare of mysteries like me needs to keep her secrets."

"Oh, okay, um... Rarity. I dare you to um... put on Pinkie Pie's silly glasses with the mustache," Fluttershy challenged.

"Well, alright darling, if you insist," she said, levitating Pinkie's prop. "With your permission, of course, Pinkie."

"Of course!" the pink mare agreed.

I suspected that was about the meanest dare Fluttershy was likely to ever make, especially given the target, but Rarity went along with it easily enough.

"I challenge you, Cloud," Rarity said. "Truth or dare?"

"Truth," I said, struggling to keep down a blush already. I had a bad feeling about where Rarity was going to take this, but I was determined to try out this new experience with my friends, even with all the discomfort.

"What was it like being a guy?" Rarity asked, fluttering her eyelashes.

Fluttershy tilted her head curiously at me. She already knew my background from our first conversation. And Rainbow had been there when I told Rarity, and was now licking her lips excitedly at the juicy gossip to come. But the other ponies looked more confused. "Hold on now, pardner, just what are you getting at?" Applejack questioned.

I held up my hands to get there attention. "First off, yes, I was a male before. When I first put this bra on," I said indicating the offending clothing, "it both transformed me into a female and brought me to this world from my own. I wasn't trying to hide that from everypony, but it's an awkward thing to discuss and I didn't want to make it a focus."

"May I see the item?" Twilight requested politely. "I'm an advanced student of magic, I might be able to figure something out from analyzing it."

I froze a moment, uncomfortable still with the nudity that would come of it, but seeing as I was surrounded with naked mares who didn't really have a nudity taboo, much less an interest in breasts, I nodded and unclasped it, watching as Twilight floated the cursed clothing over to herself.

"As a guy, well, I wasn't invited to any slumber parties for one," I said with a wink. "I don't think I've changed that much, aside from physically. But I am certainly a lot easier to fluster. It's silly, but sometimes little things get my imagination going, like a hoof grazing my hand making me wonder if a stallion is just giving me change or secretly hoping for a life of love and romance." I shook my head. "I'm sure you get used to it, growing up with it, but I'm still trying to adjust."

"We all know what it's like to be a mare, Cloud, but what's it like to be a stallion," Rarity pointed out.

"Yeah, like, were you hung like Big Mac, or more like Mr. Cake?" Rainbow Dash clarified.

"What? I haven't seen how 'hung' Mr. Cake is, why would you think I go looking down there?" I said, turning crimson.

"That was an oddly specific denial," Applejack said, with a suspicious look.

"I was pretty average, I guess," I said. "We didn't generally compare the size of our 'swords' in SOLDIER. Nothing like Big Mac though. I assume," I covered poorly. "Oh, also I didn't have these," I said, cupping my breasts to highlight them. "More just toned muscle up here. I was a few inches taller, and a little stronger as well. If anything, Rarity could give you better details on how my body shape changed; the dress I arrived in was perfectly tailored for my original male dimensions."

"Thank you, Cloud, though I think perhaps it was too vague of a question," Rarity said. "I'll do better next time. Your turn to challenge somepony."

I nodded, and looked around the room. Twilight looked preoccupied with the bra, holding it aloft in her power while some kind of light played over it. Fluttershy was smiling contentedly... I didn't want to pick on her. Rarity was off limits. Pinkie Pie seemed to random for my taste. That still left a few options.

"Applejack, truth or dare?" I challenged.

"Truth," said the Element of Honesty. I wasn't surprised.

"How do you use your tail like that? I mean, wielding a lasso and so forth. Is that some kind of magic, or is there more than just hair in there?" It might not have been deep or embarrassing, but I wanted to know.

"Shucks, pardner, I don't rightly know how it works," she confessed. "It's just like a hoof to me, or my mouth. I want it to move a way and it moves that way."

"Lame," Rainbow Dash cut in. "She doesn't even have an answer, ask another question."

"What? But I answered it wholly and honestly," Applejack objected.

"I'm afraid I have to agree with Rainbow Dash on this one, darling," Rarity confirmed.

"Alright," I said, getting more daring with my question. "Do you ever use it to masturbate?"

"What now?" Applejack asked.

"'Clop', that was what Rarity called it before. Do you use that tail of yours to 'clop'," I reiterated.

She blushed hard, but didn't shy from answering the question. "Sometimes. Not every time, but it has a nice soft touch that feels real nice. It's just a bit hard to clean up after, so I only use it if I'm on my way to the shower, or already there."

A hair audibly sprung out of place on Twilight before she set the bra aside and lifted up a book from her saddlebags, flipping through it eagerly. "Is that kind of question even allowed in Truth or Dare?!"

"Darling, that kind of question is why they invented Truth or Dare," Rarity assured.

"Alright, my turn to challenge. Pinkie Pie, truth or dare?" the mare said.

"Dare!" Pinkie declared, hopping up and down on her bed with excitement.

Applejack was put off for a bit, obviously having been planning something more truth-oriented. "I dare you to... clop with your tail!"

"Okay!" the pink mare said.

"I am very uncomfortable with how sexually explicit this entire scene is becoming," Twilight objected, refusing to look in Pinkie's direction.

I myself couldn't take my eyes off the mare, rather surprised by what I was seeing, though perhaps I shouldn't have been.

"Why is that, darling?" Rarity inquired. "Are you that inexperienced? Are you saving yourself for a special somepony?"

"Yes, of course I am. Isn't everypony?" Twilight countered, confused.

"Tell you what. Anypony here who is saving themselves, raise your right hoof now," Rarity said, raising a hoof, "and that pony is off limits for any such dares."

"Rarity, that's your left hoof," Twilight pointed out, while raising her right.

"Of course, darling, I'm not making myself off limits," Rarity said with a wink.

Finally, Twilight's attention was brought to Pinkie Pie as a rather loud clopping sound began. Finally looking, Twilight witnessed what we had seen coming. One held by the tip of her tail, the other closer to the base, Pinkie was banging two empty halves of coconuts together rhythmically in pairs of beats. Clop-clop, clop-clop, clop-clop, clop-clop.

"Pinkie, darling, I don't think that's what Applejack meant, dear," Rarity pointed out.

"It's not? Then what did you mean?" Pinkie asked with a silly grin that made it hard to tell if she was actually naive or just playing a joke.

"I'll allow it," Applejack said with a laugh.

"Twilight! Truth or dare!" Pinkie Pie demanded.

"As a scientist, I strive to uncover the truth in all things, so Truth," the unicorn said with a bit of arrogance.

"If you could have anypony as your special somepony, who would it be?" Pinkie inquired.

Another hair sprung out of place. "I thought you said nothing like that," Twilight said, aiming her accusation at Rarity.

"There's nothing sexually explicit about that question, darling. Go on, answer the mare," Rarity pointed out.

"Dare!"

"I'll be right back!" Pinkie declared, before fleeing the room. Her injuries obviously weren't holding her back that much. Of course, she hadn't been on the receiving end of any fire breath, and I had learned by then that earth ponies were generally tougher than others. It wasn't like Dash's broken wing, or even the new arrivals' head injuries.

"So... what do we do while we're waiting?" Rainbow asked impatiently.

"We could skip to the next item on the list? Though Pinkie might be upset to be left out of it," Twilight offered.

"Twilight could start on her challenge, while we wait for Pinkie to return," I offered.

Rainbow nodded. "Yeah, let's do that."

"Alright, Rainbow Dash. Truth or dare," Twilight challenged.

"I can handle any dare," Rainbow Dash asserted. "What have you got, egghead?"

"I dare you to sit perfectly still for one minute without falling asleep," Twilight said with a smug grin.

"What? What kind of lame dare is that," Rainbow lamented.

"Perfectly. Still. No talking," Twilight pointed out.

Rainbow huffed and then finally pulled her legs under her, and took up a stable position on her bed, closing her eyes so she wouldn't have to blink.

Twilight summoned a small hourglass from somewhere, a minuteglass I presumed, and flipped it onto a table. We all watched the sand pouring out, or watched Rainbow for signs of life. Just as the sands were almost depleted, down to the last five seconds I would guess, Pinkie jumped out from under Twlight's bed with a loud "I'm back! Didja miss me?!" Everyone expected Rainbow to jump at least a bit from the sudden noise, but instead she answered with a soft snore, proving she had lost in the other direction.

"Welcome back, Pinkie. What's that?" Twilight inquired, pointing to the pie tin in Pinkie's hoof. Whipped cream obscured the nature of the pie within, but it was clearly pie.

"Your dare, silly! I dare you to eat this pie!" Pinkie said as she set the confection in front of the unicorn.

"Ooookay," Twilight said, wondering why this would be a dare. Pinkie's giant manic grin making her nervous. But a dare was a dare, so Twilight began eating. She took a small bite and savored the taste for a bit. "Hmm.. creamy... heavy on the coconut... slight vanilla aftertaste. Something else I don't quite recognize... it tastes good." Pinkie was dancing from hoof to hoof with glee as Twilight finished the whole thing.

"Tee hee hee hee hee... Twilight just ate my whole tail clop cream pie!" she said excitedly, clopping her hooves together before bouncing back into her bed.

"Tail clop... wait, does that mean?" Twilight said, blushing fiercely.

"Yep! I made it with those coconuts," Pinkie said.

Twilight began to calm down.

"And an extra special secret ingredient," Pinkie elaborated.

"What's the secret ingredient?!" Twilight had to know.

"It's a secret, silly!" Pinkie explained. "Now it's your turn to challenge someone, Twilight!"

"I already challenged Rainbow Dash, but she failed the dare. So... what happens now?" Twilight asked.

"Same as with my question to AJ. You get to re-challenge her to another dare, unless she goes for truth instead," I arbitrated.

"Hey, sleepyhead, your still on the hook," AJ said, slapping Rainbow Dash's flank mark with her long braided mane.

"I'm awake, I'm awake!" Dash insisted.

"Sorry pardner, but we all heard you snore," Applejack pointed out.

"Dang it," Dash said. "So now what?"

"You get to do it again," Twilight said. "Only for two minutes now!"

"Ugh... no way. Truth!" Dash said.

"Okay, fine... let's see now," Twilight said, considering Rainbow carefully. "What is... your favorite book?"

"Really now, you are the most boring filly I've ever played with, Twilight," Rarity complained.

"That's an easy one, I don't read books," Rainbow pointed out. "My turn!"

"Oh? I'll make you regret that, Rainbow Dash," Twilight said, mentally taking up her own challenge.

Ignoring her, Rainbow turned to me. "Cloud, truth or dare?"

"Truth," I chose.

"How exactly did you see Big Mac's stallionhood? I want all the juicy details," Rainbow Dash challenged.

"Yes, darling, from the beginning," Rarity added.

"There better not be any juicy details," Applejack said. "This is my brother we're talking about!"

"I'm going to side with Applejack on this. Dare," I said.

"That sure doesn't make it sound like there's nothing juicy," Applejack accused.

"Don't worry, everypony, I'll get the truth out of her," Rarity assured.

"No need, I got this," Rainbow claimed. "I dare you to... reenact the scene where you saw Big Mac's package, with Applejack playing Big Mac."

"You can't use a dare to get the truth," I said.

"I'm afraid she's right there," Rarity said, backing me up. "You just need to make the dares more embarrassing than the truth."

"Okay, fine. Then... I dare you to get a good look at Doctor Horse' cock and tell us how it compares to what you had," Rainbow Dash challenged.

"You can't expect me to get him hard, he's not even a part of this game," I objected.

"Technically she didn't say anything about an erection," Twilight sided with me on that one.

"Alright, fine, this time," Dash allowed.

I unhooked the monitor from me and dropped down, hiding under the bed. Sure enough somepony came to check out the alarming monitor after a while, unfortunately it was one of the nurses not the doctor. Rarity quickly stepped in to assist however. "Nurse Redheart, darling, could you fetch the doctor. I've got a pain in my side that won't go away." Probably from laughing too much.

When the doctor did come in, I slid out silently from under the bed, getting as good a look at his undercarriage as I could while Rarity distracted him with unverifiable claims of discomfort. My spiky head bumped lightly against Pinkie's poofy mane between the doctor's legs. When I glanced up at her, she placed a hoof over her lips in a silent shooshing gesture before we each pulled away, having seen what we came to see.

I slipped over near the door, quietly kicking it over, then letting it slip shut noisily as I got to my bed, and reattached the monitor. "Where were you?" asked the nurse. "Restroom," I replied simply. "Next time let somepony know so we don't get alarmed about your monitor," she admonished. Soon enough, the doctor and nurses were on their way.

"So... how was it?" Rainbow Dash inquired as soon as the door shut behind them.

"Well, it was in his sheath, so I couldn't see that much. Humans don't have sheathes like that, it just kind of hangs out, even when it's not hard," I began. "His balls were a fair bit bigger than mine, and what I could see of the tip was a very different shape. Much flatter. It seems like it'd be hard to get that in to start with. Mine had a more rounded tip, which was extra sensitive."

"Here, draw it," Twilight requested, passing me a blank scroll, quill and ink.

"I can't believe you of all ponies is asking me to draw a cock," I pointed out.

"Two cocks. You were asked to compare and contrast," Twilight explained.

"Alright, alright. But I'm no artist," I said as I took the quill in hand and started drawing, blushing the whole way. Doing this just helped cement all the details of the doctor's horse-cock in my brain. At least it hadn't been erect. Who was I kidding, right then I really wanted to see it hard. Well maybe not his, per se. Simple curiosity, right?

I ended up drawing three pictures, showing some generic human guy both flaccid and erect, along with the doctor's sheathed dong.

"Surely you can draw a stallion hard," Rainbow objected. "I mean, if nothing else you've seen Big Mac, right?~"

"He was sheathed the whole time!" I said.

"Ah hah, at least one detail emerges," Rainbow grinned to herself.

"At least it's about as unjuicy as they come," Applejack stated with a bit of relief.

"Though that does bring up the question of why she's so insistent on hiding the other details," Twilight Sparkle pointed out.

"That's a very well done drawing, miss Strife," Fluttershy complimented quietly under the din of our discussion.

"I'll get to the truth," Rarity reiterated.

"Not any time soon," I pointed out. "Rarity, truth or dare?"

"Dare," Rarity chose.

"I dare you to clop here in front of us," I challenged. With all the sexual tension going around the room, I hoped I wasn't going to far. "And no playing dumb like Pinkie Pie. You know exactly what I mean."

"Why darling, I never thought you'd ask,~" Rarity answered seductively. It made it quite clear I hadn't realized who I was dealing with.

Her horn lit, and her magic pulled the blanket up and over her, even as she shifted her position, lifting her rump a bit and reaching a forehoof back between her back legs. Her most intimate parts were hidden from view, even as it was quite clear what was happening, somehow making the scene even steamier than if she had been turned away from us. Her face was pornographic enough, with cute stifled moans, deeply pleasured facial expressions, and ultimately an exultant expression on her face as she brought herself over the edge, showing off her soaked hoof before sensuously licking it clean as proof of the deed.

Somewhere along the way I shifted positions, pulling my legs up to clutch them against my chest. The position gave me as little access as possible to my own growing warmth, and did what I could to hide the damp spot spreading across my panties. I could only hope somepony would find a way to relieve me with a dare soon, before I lost the fight for self control and relieved myself without such an excuse.

"Rainbow Dash, truth or dare, darling?" Rarity asked with a satisfied smile.

"Dare, and it better not be boring," Rainbow said.

"I dare you to ask Cloud out on a date," Rarity said.

"What? What kind of a dare is that," Rainbow asked.

"Are you too chicken? Afraid you'll like it with a mare," Rarity teased.

"What, I'm no chicken. Yo, Cloud, go out with me," Rainbow invited.

"You need to be specific, darling, and at least try to make it sound inviting," Rarity clarified.

"Fine," Rainbow said before trotting over to me. "Hay there, chicken head, why don't you and I head down to Hayburger as soon as we blow this Popsicle stand, and get a bite to eat together? Just to warn you though, I'm the kind of mare who likes her desert first, if you know what I mean..."

I knew she was just doing it at as a dare, but then maybe with that wink she meant there was something genuine, at least a potential. The brash mare reminded me of myself, some of the traits I liked best and sought to keep at the forefront. Maybe we could be a couple... I certainly couldn't say I wasn't interested in such things right now. "Sure. Looking forward to it."

"Great, speaking of which," she said as she hopped back onto her bed, laying back and spreading her hind legs. "I dare you to eat me out."

"I haven't even chosen dare yet," I objected on principal, though I was already on my way over.

"Hmm, hmm, hmm... I can't hear you," Twilight hummed to herself while her magic pulled some of her bandages up to cover her ears and kept her eyes locked on a book hovering before her.

"Fine, what happened between you and Big Maaaa~" she began, unable to finish the name as I traced a finger along her slit.

"Dare it is," I conceded, pulling her rump closer to the side so I could kneel by her bed in a more comfortable position. It was a challenge to keep from rubbing myself off, as horny as I was. I took the opportunity to get a good look at her down there, sniffing deeply as I tried to remember what I had seen of myself in the mirror to compare. Her muscled twitched, opening her wide to where I could see into her tunnel for a moment, spilling a bit of her juices. That was certainly something mine had never done; I wondered if it was a mare thing, or a just-that-horny thing. Perhaps I would find out, soon.

"Don't leave me hanging," she begged. So I didn't. I'd looked enough for now; now it was time to taste. My tongue delved between her folds, drawing her juices into my mouth. I only had my own to compare with, and hers were definitely muskier, something I found attractive at the moment. I moved my mouth upward a bit, finding she had a little nub of flesh much like my own, and from her squirms and squeeks I confirmed it was just as sensitive as mine. Good.

Then I got to something nopony would be able to do for her. I brought a hand up, pressing a pair of fingers into her lower folds, searching until I found the right angle and pushed them in, deep, slowly pulling them back out before plunging in again. It was hard to do this for myself, the angles all wrong, but for her, the mare spread before me, it worked great.

Rainbow Dash forgot where we were and her cries got louder and louder. Before they could reach full orgasmic bliss though a stern cough interrupted us from over my shoulder.

"Ahem. If you can't observe proper hospital decorum in the same room, I'm going to have to separate you," the doctor said firmly. "Now. No more of this here!"

I had always wondered how a game of Truth or Dare ended. Now I knew.
