Patched stood slowly on wobbling legs; she wasn't an old mare by any sense of the imagination, but with what she had just been through anypony would have rickety legs. The plant pulled back from her head releasing its final tether to her. She drew in a great breath of fresh air and tried to yell, only for her hoarse voice to give out nothing so much as a groan.

"You are free? Tight, what time is it?" Sugar Belle walked over to the doctor, heedless of the vines of the plant—that seemingly ignored her right back. "How are you feeling, Patched?" A glance revealed Patched Scrape was now similarly equipped to Sugar.

"Free? Oh…" Patched groaned again, her body feeling hot and flush. "Yes, free… it appears this plant is somewhat resistant to magic." She shook herself to try to shake out the strange feeling of need.

Sugar lifted a foreleg and gave the doctor a hug. "I tried to stop it, but it… well… you might want to look underneath your belly." Not realizing it, Sugar found herself feeling warm towards the doctor.

Dipping her head down and looking backwards, Patched froze at what she saw. "But I am a mare…" She stared at the shaft in confusion, then jerked her head up to look at Sugar Belle. "I am a mare, how could I have a penis?" She felt the heat inside peak and without thinking, leaned closer to Sugar and kissed the other mare.

"Doctor Patched!" Tight rushed over to the aid of his wife and tried to insert himself between the two mares. "Doctor, you need to get a hold of yourself!" Before Tight realized it, his own lips were pressed to Patched's, as the doctor pressed her claim on him instead.

"You all need to just calm down and give her some room, everypony." Double Diamond didn't trust himself at all, he was standing on the other side of the cave—well away from the plant. "Tight, go and stand by the entrance. Sugar, move over to that alcove over there." He pointed to the places, but when the doctor moved to follow Sugar, he knew he had a problem. "Patched Scrape!"

Patched blinked at her name being yelled. She looked at Double Diamond and blinked. "Huh?" Without either Sugar or Tight nearby, she started to think a little clearer, although she could still feel that new shaft swing a little under her, achingly hard. "Oh! It must make us produce pheromones!" She smiled at the thought. "And react to them. This is intriguing, it was such a strong compulsion…"

"Hey, you're lucky. When it did me there was nopony like me around. Things were a lot different." Tight gave a huff. "We need to stop ponies getting in here, we need to… to…" He felt a pull within him, more a gentle nudge. "It really didn't hurt us, though."

"Yeah, I… I guess it isn't that bad, once you get used to it." Sugar Belle's eyes locked on Tight's, and they both smiled at each other.

Patched stared between the two, then looked at Double Diamond. "Can you believe this?" She waved a hoof at the married couple, who started walking to each other. "Clearly it is having an effect on their minds!"

"I just want to get out of here." Double Diamond lifted a hoof up and rubbed at his mane. "I don't know how I will explain this to Night… wait!" Everypony turned to stare at Double. "Our date!" His heart thudded in his chest as he galloped for the exit. There was light coming in from outside as Celestia lowered her sun.

"Well that just happened." Patched turned from staring at the dust cloud that Double kicked up with his hasty exit, to look at Sugar and Tight. The couple were kissing in a very intimate way, and if it weren't for her worry about the plant's intentions, Patched would have just left them to it. "You two!"

The shout broke through to Sugar first, then Tight. "What's the matter?" Tight Squeeze lifted a wing up and put it around Sugar's shoulders.

"Come on, I need to examine you both a lot more closely." Patched started walking for the same exit Double used, shuddered, and stopped. "How do you get used to this thing?" She gestured under her belly with a hoof. "It just… It juts out and won't go down!"

"Well, yeah." Sugar Belle snuggled as she walked beside Tight, rolling her shoulders into the feathery-soft grip of his wing. "You need to take some of the heat out of him, give him somewhere nice and tight to explore." She spread her smile into a wide, cheesy grin.

"Are you flirting with Patched?" Tight looked into the mischievous eyes of his wife. There was no accusation in his words, he was comfortable enough with Sugar to not worry about her chasing other ponies.

"Not really." Sugar leaned over and kissed Tight. "Just making some bad jokes." She paused and looked at him. "Unless you want me to?" She froze, her own heart racing at how forward the question had been. Panic raced through her body, and Sugar started to stammer. "I-I-I mean I don't want, I just… this horniness is a bit too much to handle!"

Tight hugged his wife. "We will talk about that later. First, Doctor Patched wants to examine us both." He nuzzled Sugar's cheek until she kissed him firmly. Melting against the love of his life, Tight Squeeze felt his body heat up again.

"You two are incorrigible!" Patched started to stalk over to the couple to pull them apart, but then remembered her last reaction to each. Halting in her tracks, she gave an impotent grunt. "Just… just follow me!" She spun around and marched for the exit.

"Later?" Tight only had eyes for Sugar, and stared into her own orbs in the dim light of the cave.

"Definitely later." Sugar smiled, kissed Tight on the nose, and turned to start following the doctor. She couldn't hold back a giggle as they both began their walk. "Should you tell her, or should I?"

Tight was more than a little distracted by Patched's flagging tail, and the sight it afforded him. "Uh… you…"

"Patched!" Sugar Belle trotted forward, her own eyes drawn to watch the doctor's puffy folds. "You… you need to cover up, dear." She tried to be as gentle with her words as she could, but the distracting sight was messing with her ability to speak. In the end, Sugar just pointed at Patched's plot.

"What do you mean?" Patched followed the pointing hoof, turning her head and then blushed. "What is it doing to me?!" She mentally got a grip on the offending muscles and pulled her tail across and down again. "This is insufferable!"

"The sex is pretty amazing, though." Sugar couldn't believe the things she was saying, and blushed more still. "I am not really sorry I said that, it is, but I need to try to keep my mouth closed…"

"I like your mouth being open." Tight Squeeze hugged Sugar tight with his wing as they left the cave into the night air. "Wait, didn't we come here at night time?" He looked to Sugar, then the doctor.

"We did," Patched led the way towards Our Town, and her home, "but that plant clearly needed to do something that took a while. So, just to get this straight, when you were changed at first, you didn't feel like this towards others?"

"The opposite! I couldn't get excited for sex at all. But then my little Sugar changed too." Tight had completely given up on trying to keep from nuzzling and kissing Sugar whenever he thought of her.

"Very interesting. This must be triggered by more pheromones!" Patched ignored the swaying weight under her belly and soldiered on. "And now you seem to both have your inhibitions lowered. When did that start?"

"Inhe-what?" Tight looked to Sugar. "Do you know what that means?" When Sugar shrugged too, he turned back and almost plowed right into Patched Scrape's plot. "Oh…" He blinked at the once-more exposed vulva. "Y-Y-Your tail…"

Patched turned to see what Tight was talking about, and saw both he and Sugar were staring at her, just inches from her body. "We are here. And inhibitions are the natural instincts to not do something you probably shouldn't." She opened the door and charged inside. In the back of Patched's mind, though, she heard a betraying little voice that begged for either of the couple to "catch" her.

"You should have licked her." Sugar nudged Tight, and then giggled at what she said.

"What? Why me?" Tight booped Sugar on the snout. "You should have licked her."

"Nopony is licking me!" Patched glared between Tight and Sugar. "This is getting crazy. Can you two… can you please separate?" She pointed to opposite sides of the room, but neither pony made the effort to part. "Please?"

"The thing is, Doc, we are really worked up after what happened in the cave… can we have a little break before you start?" Tight had to struggle to keep a straight face with his wife giggling beside him. "We won't take long, I promise!"

"You might not…" Sugar's giggling only subsided for a few moments before she lots it again. "We really should get this over with, she probably won't let us have a quick…" she held her hoof up before her face in mock secrecy, "sex break."

Double Diamond galloped all the way back to his house, only to find a distinctive pegasus mare waiting at his front door. "N-Night Glider!"

"Yes, 'Night Glider,' " Night Glider glared at Double Diamond. "Where have you been, Double D?" She stepped down from the porch of the little house and gave Double a hug.

"It… it's a long story." Double felt a measure of normality sink in. Night Glider was every bit just a regular pegasus, and they had intended to have dinner together. "Come on inside, hopefully nothing is ruined."

Night watched her friend shuffle inside, and followed after him. "Look, if it is about getting caught up skiing and forgetting about the dinner until just now…" Night inhaled to continue, but was cut off before she could tell him it didn't matter.

"It's not just that. There is something really freaky in the cave just outside of town. Tight Squeeze started acting really strange, then Sugar Belle too. I remembered him saying he was going to investigate it just before he started acting odd." Double walked through to his kitchen and checked his refrigerator.

"If you were doing something for a friend, DD, it is really okay." Night took a seat at the table. "I know you love your skiing, and you love this town even more. If you had to go spelunking to help a friend—"

"There is this plant in the cave." Double lifted out the bottle of fine jacked apple cider he had gotten for them to share. "It… it grabbed me and did whatever it did to Tight." He opened the bottle and took a sharp pull from it.

Seeing Double needed to talk a little more seriously than she had first thought, Night got up and fetched two glasses for them to share. "What did it do to him? You said he started acting strange?" She didn't add that Double was acting pretty strange himself.

Closing his eyes, Double saw a mental image of Tight Squeeze's vulva, and trembled. "It made him… and will make me… into a mare!" He poured a double measure of the strong liquid into the glass and gulped it down.

Night grabbed the bottle from her friend and poured a single measure back into each glass. She had to hold down her first instinct of calling the claim stupid. "What do you mean?"

"I mean he has mare bits now!" Double pulled a chair out and sank onto it. "Well, he has both sets, but I don't want that to happen to me!"

Soft, feathery cuddles really were the best thing ever, and Night wrapped Double Diamond in one of the best. She reached out with the wing not cuddling Double, and pulled her glass over—she downed it without a pause. "So he is freaking out too?"

"What?" Double Diamond blinked down into his drink. "I mean, he is… he seems mostly okay with it. He and Tight looked really close." Mentioning the pair, Double's mind turned back to how they got him "relief" earlier. He blushed enough that his white fur turned red.

"Do they need your help?" The moment she said it, Night knew something else was the matter. She quickly poured another measure of liquid courage each. "Tell me."

"The plant did its thing to me and… and when it let me go I couldn't stop myself. I… I mounted Tight!" Double downed the drink, taking the burn of the liquid down his throat as his punishment. "S-S-Sugar made sure nothing happened, but Tight has those… those mare parts. I couldn't stop myself!"

Night didn't know what to do or say at first; the Double Diamond she knew wouldn't have done such a thing. "Are they alright? Are you alright?"

Double turned to look directly at Night, and while he didn't receive the urgent stab of need that he had at first, he felt a desire for her that seemed amplified by their closeness. "Tight had woken up in the same way, and said he knew what I would need. Sugar… used her horn…"

"Sounds like they helped you a lot. What would you have done if they hadn't been there to… to help?" Night felt one of Diamond's forelegs sneak up and around her withers, and despite the topic she cuddled in a little closer.

"Helped me?" Double mused on the matter as Night squirmed against him. Between his back legs, his shaft surged at the nearness, and he felt a desire for her that now rivaled that he had felt back in the cave. When a soft hoof touched his shaft, however, he almost pounced on Night.

"You have more to work off, or so it seems." Night stroked up and down the length with her hoof. "Come on stud; I might not have a horn, but I can promise you that this will feel really good." She took a glance down to what she was working with, and gasped.

"It made me a bit bigger, too." Double was fighting his urges to grab at Night and mount her. The feel of her soft frog sliding up and down him had him closing his eyes. "N-N-Not here…"

"Then lead the way to your bedroom." Night drew her wing back from Double, and slipped under his foreleg. She giggled at the shell-shocked look on his face, and Night waited for Double Diamond to recover his senses.

"Oh yeah. Right." Double walked past Night, every ounce of his self-control warring to keep him from jumping on her. Once past, he walked through to his bedroom, ears turned to listen to Night's hoofsteps following him.

"Up on the bed." Night pulled the door closed behind her. "And on your back." She ruffled her wings and let them hang a little loosely, moving her hips side to side a bit as she walked over to Double. "Eager." Night brought her hoof back up and stroked Double's long shaft, stopping at his bulging sack. "Did something here?" She rubbed where his balls should have been tenderly.

Pleasure exploded in Double and he arched his spine. "Y-Yes!" Her hoof didn't leave his scrotum, gently working over the oddly sensitive part.

"Well, you certainly seem to be enjoying it. What about this?" Extending her wing, Night Glider gently curled the tips of her feathers around the hefty member. As she gave him his first little squeeze, Night noticed Double's hips buck up into her grip. "Very eager, but you need to just relax, let me take care of your not-so-little problem." She pressed down with her hoof, applying the pressure to his sack.

Fighting his need, Double Diamond struggled to uncurl his spine and lower his hips. The moment his croup hit the bed he felt a more firm pressure of Night's frog on his scrotum. Then her wing moved and the whole world melted away. Rocking his head back, Double gave a deep groan as the soft, tight feathers worked up and down his length, working him quickly into a repeat of what happened with Tight and Sugar.

"Wow…" Night watched as the stallion sprayed a quick load up and over his barrel, but his stiff shaft didn't show any sign of flagging. "This plant gave you some stamina, too?" She started over again, stroking his length as best she was able, making sure to give an extra little squeeze around his medial ring.

Double was almost blind with pleasure. He stared up at the ceiling and grunted, groaned, and moaned his way through three full climaxes by Night Glider's amazing wing. The pressure around his shaft faded, however, and he blinked a few times and tried to focus on her. But he could work out what was going on until she landed on top of him.

Night looked down at the huge shaft pressed to her chest. "Okay, you all good back there DD?" She waited a moment, and was about to ask again when his tongue ran up her folds. "That's a yes…" She sighed and leaned down to nuzzle and lick at the base of Double's shaft.

He didn't care that Night wasn't going to let him mount her, Double was perfectly okay with what she was doing, and where she was laying. He worked his tongue a little deeper, the smell of her driving his senses into a little hurricane of delight.

The mare didn't even stop to think why she had gone this far with her coltfriend, nor why she did it after him admitting he was infected by some strange plant.
