"Ohmygoshthisissoexcitingi'veneverseenanotherspeciesturnedintoaponybefore!!!" Twilight nearly shouted.

"Yeah yeah, I'm a marvel of modern magic, Twilight, can you please not be so loud? These new ears are really sensitive." David replied, covering both ears with his hooves.

"Sorry, sorry. I know you're still getting used to it, but I just couldn't help but be excited! This kind of transformation hasn't happened in over a thousand years! I'll need to catalogue the results for future reference!" Twilight said at the same volume.

"Twilight, I'm sure David will allow you to do your research into his transformation some other time. Right now, he just needs to adjust." Celestia said, giving a warm smile.

"Indeed, we don't want to overwhelm him with questions when he's only been awake for a few hours." Luna admonished.

"I know, I know, I'm just so excited! I knew StarSwirl wouldn't let me down. Oh, there's so many things we need to research, like his cutie mark! What does it mean!?" Twilight said, clopping her hooves together in happiness and looking intently at David's cutie mark.

"That's a good point, what exactly is it?" Storm asked, tilting her head to the side.

"Well, it looks like a lightning bolt going through a black circle. Now, this could mean a lot of different things, so we'll need to try multiple hypotheses to test which one is your special talent. Oh! I know just the group of girls that can help you!" Twilight chirped in excitement.

"Twilight, I'm sure you can test all your hypotheses once David is completely recovered." Luna added.

"Right, right. Nothing any time soon. Sorry." Twilight replied, blushing slightly.

"Well, I'm just glad Davey is okay. My favorite human can still hang out with me and now I can show him how to fly!" Storm added.

As the many ponies in the room shared their excitement in David's transformation, he and Midnight laid on the bed together. Midnight couldn't help herself, and wrapped her hooves around David's barrel in a tight hug. She happily held onto him while nesting her head in the crook of his neck and affectionately nuzzling him.

David was happy to return the gesture, and nuzzled his cheek against her head while wrapping his forelegs around her barrel and holding her as close as he could. After a few minutes of conversing, Doctor Stable walked into the room.

"Hello everypony, Princesses. Excuse me, but I have David's test results. According to the MRI, and several other tests we conducted, it appears that the magic has been completely dispersed to the rest of his body and is no longer harming him. I don't want to say anything is conclusive yet, but for the moment, it looks like he will make a full recovery." Doctor Stable explained.

Midnight allowed a wide smile to beam on her face at the news. She tilted her head up and kissed David's chin before nuzzling back against his neck.

"That's fantastic news! You hear that, David? You're going to be okay!" Twilight proclaimed.

"I did. I know I said it a few times already, but I really appreciate you guys saving me. Thank you." David said with a sincere smile.

"My only regret is that we did not figure out the truth about your body and Equestrian magic until it was almost too late. I'm thankful that we were able to prevent the unthinkable." Celestia replied in her calm, motherly tone.

"Thanks, Tia... Say, do I have to start calling you 'Princess' and bow every time I see you now? 'Cause I kinda like our relationship the way it is right now..." David said with a slightly worried smile.

"You will be required to bow and address me as 'Your Royal Highness'. Any transgression of this rule will result in an immediate relocation to the dungeon for no fewer than thirty days." Celestia said with a serious expression plastered on her muzzle.

Everypony in the room fell silent. All eyes stared at Celestia as if she had just murdered a puppy. Midnight physically lifted her head from David's neck and stared daggers at her. Eventually, the staring got to her, and Celestia's mask cracked. A tiny trace of a grin formed on her lips, and before long, everypony in the room saw through her.

David was the first to chuckle, prompting Celestia to finally relent and laugh herself.

"Oh, you know I'm only joking. Nothing between us has changed, David. You're my friend, and as soon as we get the paperwork done, an honorary citizen of Equestria." Celestia said, finally getting every other pony in the room to breathe again.

"Okay, thank god. You had me worried there for a second, not gonna lie, Tia." David replied, shaking his head.

"You're lucky I know your sense of humor so well, sister. Were it anypony else and I might have thought they were serious." Luna chimed in.

"A-anyway..." Doctor Stable announced, "Mister Lawson will be free to leave the hospital by the evening. We just need to finish a few more basic motor skill tests and some paperwork."

"Awesome. Thanks, Doc." David replied.

With that, Doctor Stable left the room.

"So, Davey, I know that everything is going kinda fast right now, but, um... since you're a pegasus now..." Storm trailed off.

"Since I'm a pegasus now... what?" David replied, motioning for her to continue.

"Well, don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with the one that you have now, but it's not very pony-ish... I guess what I'm trying to say is, are you going to change your name now that you're a pony?" Storm asked, trying her best not to offend the crimson pegasus.

"You know, that is a good point," Twilight chimed in, "You've got a pony body now, you might want a pony name to go with it."

"Change my name? I mean... does it matter that much?" David asked.

"David, your name is fine. You don't need to change anything else about yourself." Midnight whispered into his ear.

"I do believe that is a discussion for another time. I can see the doctors and nurses waiting outside right now. We should allow them room to work." Luna announced.

"Agreed. Unfortunately, my sister and I have our royal duties to attend to for the rest of the day. That said, if you need anything, as usual, do not hesitate to ask." Celestia said, already moving for the door.

"I understand. Again, thank you so much for everything, both of you. I owe everyone in this room a lot... Just, thanks, Tia. Thanks, Luna. And you too Twilight. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here right now." David said with an appreciative nod.

"Of course. I still want to have our weekly meetings though!" Twilight said as she moved for the door.

"It was our pleasure, David. Anything for our friends." Celestia replied before walking out the door with Luna in tow.

"I should probably get going too. Wind Rider is going to be worried sick about me if I keep him waiting any longer." Storm said as she turned for the door.

"Alright, Stormy. I'll see you later. Thanks for being there with Mid. It means a lot." David said as he waved his farewell.

"I'd do it again in a heartbeat." Storm replied as she walked out the door, "Oh, before I forget, you'd better come by when you're feeling a hundred percent so that I can help train you to fly!" She called from the hallway.

"Will do, Stormy. See ya later!" David called back.

---

David and Midnight walked out of the hospital just as the sun began to set on the horizon. Despite having walked on two legs his whole life, David found walking around on four legs to be rather intuitive, and within the first few hours was easily able to walk around like any other pony.

Even so, he leaned on Midnight for support as his body was still very new to him. That and he just wanted to be close to her.

"I still can't believe that I'm actually a pony now... I feel like I'm really going to miss having hands." David admitted with a slight chuckle.

"I know. I wish there was another way, but we just didn't have time to figure something else out. The spell Twilight found could only change a creature into a pony. I mean, if you asked her to keep digging, I'm sure she could find a spell that could potentially change you into a griffon so that you'd have claws, or at least something resembling fingers." Midnight reasoned.

"Now just how am I supposed to kiss you with a beak?" David asked, planting a kiss on her cheek to prove his point.

Midnight blushed lightly before turning and kissing David's cheek. She allowed a tender smile before turning to see the setting sun.

"What do you say we head home, big guy? It's getting late and I think we've both had a pretty long day." Midnight asked.

"Sure. Home sounds perfect right about now." David replied.

As they continued to walk, with Midnight nuzzling against David's neck, she managed to reach a particular spot along his throat. A loud *pomf* sound filled the air, and David's wings shot straight out, knocking her over and into the dirt.

"Ow" Midnight groaned.

"Mid! Shit, are you okay?! I didn't mean to do that, these things just shot out on their own!" David hastily explained while trying to help Midnight to her hooves.

"Hehe, forgot about that spot. I'm alright, David. That's my bad." Midnight replied as she was helped to her hooves.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to do that." David explained.

"David, it's fine, I'm fine."

"I know, I just... I feel like I kinda ruined the mo-" David began, only to be cut off by Midnight pressing her lips against his.

They shared the kiss for a few moments, and David's wings deflated back down to his sides. Once they were folded back and away, Midnight broke the kiss and smirked at the dopey smile now plastering David's muzzle.

"Moment's not ruined, big guy. Come on, let's go home." Midnight said with a wink.

The sun gently set over the horizon, and with its fading light, the ponies of Equestria set about going to bed. Shops were closed, dinners served, and a particular pair of ponies finally arrived at their secluded house on the far side of the mountain.

Midnight used her magic to open the door for both her and David before moving to enter the house. She carefully helped him inside, insuring that his wings did not catch on the doorway. They were brand new and prone to move on their own, after all. Once inside, Midnight easily led him to the couch before heading over to the fireplace.

"So, uh... This is gonna take some getting used to, isn't it?" David asked as he clumsily climbed onto the couch.

"Well, the doctor said that since you're a pony now, certain parts of your brain will adapt and make the transition natural. Like walking for example, you seem to be able to do that pretty easily, even with twice as many legs as before." Midnight explained as she brought a spark to the wood, igniting the fire.

"Yeah, but I don't think I'm actually gonna be flying any time soon. Not really sure how these things work just yet. It's like having an extra pair of arms sticking out of my back." David replied.

"I think in time, you'll hardly even know they're there. Unless you're using them, of course." Midnight chuckled.

"Hey, Mid, you know what I just realized?" David asked.

"What's that, big guy?" Midnight asked as she hopped onto the couch with him.

"Well, maybe it's just the fact that I see ponies a little differently now that I am one, but I think I'm finally realizing just how beautiful you really are." David said with an honest smile.

"Aww... You should see yourself, big guy. You should have seen all those nurses when they saw you for the first time. I think half of them were ready to throw themselves at you on the spot." Midnight replied with a laugh.

"And they would have all been disappointed. I simply don't have enough love to give anyone else. You're just too high maintenance for me to dish it out freely." David said with friendly sarcasm.

"Hey, you're pretty high maintenance yourself, big guy. Don't forget all the crap you've put me through these last six months." Midnight lightheartedly chastised.

"And you've put up with me through it all. You really are my other half." David replied, love emanating from his voice.

Midnight's breath caught in her throat. Her mouth moved but no words managed to find their way out, and after a moment, David was beginning to worry that he broke her.

"Uh... Mid? You oka-AGH!" David managed just as Midnight pounced on him, wrapping her hooves around him in a vice-grip.

"Thank you... I love you." Midnight whispered.

"Eheh, thanks, Mid. Love you too. Just uh... please be a little more gentle... I'm a bit fragile right now." David wheezed.

"Oh, sorry! Sorry, I forgot." Midnight gasped, instantly releasing her hold on him.

"It's okay. I think my ribs are still all in one piece." David said, with a slight sigh.

"Hehe, it's gonna take a lot of willpower to hold myself back until you're feeling better." Midnight admitted, a heavy blush on her face.

"Hey now, I may be fragile, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna break if you cuddle with me." David replied with a grin.

Midnight immediately took the hint and wrapped her hooves around David's barrel. She pulled him in close while nuzzling her cheek into the crook of his neck. Her tail managed to wrap itself around his, and she finally found her resting place with her head on his chest fur.

"Mhhhh... forgot how soft pegasai are..." Midnight happily whispered.

David leaned down and kissed her forehead. He wrapped his hooves around her and held her close, just the way he used to.

"I think I'm gonna miss scratching your ears the most." David mused.

"Aww... You just reminded me about that..." Midnight whined, "Well, at least you have a fluffy chest I can use as a pillow then."

"Hehe, you can use me as your personal pillow anytime." David replied.

They fell into silence for a few moments. They're quiet breathes filled the air as they both watched the last of the sun finally dip under the horizon. Midnight gazed up just in time to see the last of the orange light glisten off of David's chocolate brown eyes before it was gone for the night, and the light orange glow of the fireplace took its place. With that, she nuzzled her head back against his chest and closed her eyes.

Another few moments of silence before David shuffled uncomfortably. Midnight noticed the movement, but said nothing and simply allowed him to find a comfortable position. After a moment, he settled back down, only to move again a second later.

This went on for a few minutes before Midnight lifted her head from his chest to see what was wrong.

"Hey, you alright, big guy? You're kinda squirming a lot. I'm not hurting you, am I?" Midnight asked.

"No, it's alright, I'm just... adjusting..." David meekly admitted.

"What do you mean adjus....ting..." Midnight trailed off as her eyes fell onto David's groin.

Her tail had been draped over his sheath, her long hairs tickling it the whole time, and causing his stallionhood to poke out from the attention. The especially dark skin of his member would have gone unnoticed by her gaze, were it not for the light pink splotches covering a decent amount of his length catching the firelight.

"Oh..." Midnight said with a blush.

"Y-yeah... Uh... Sorry. I don't really know how to put it back yet..." David said, his crimson cheeks flushing even a darker shade of red as Midnight's eyes stayed fixated on his shaft.

"Well... I may have an idea on how to take care of that, if you're open too it." Midnight sensually whispered, lifting herself off of David fully.

"If you're thinking what I think you're thinking, then my answer is hell yes... as long as you're gentle with me." David replied.

"That's what I hoped you'd say." Midnight said as she snaked her way down to David's hips.

She gently brought her muzzle to his length before stroking him with her tongue. Her slow, practiced ministrations brought David up to full mast within a matter of seconds. The soft, velvety caress of her tongue sent a shock up his body, and a bead of pre began to form at the tip of his head. A relaxed sigh escaped David's lips as Midnight continued to leisurely lap at his stallionhood.

"You smelled great before, but now... wow, I can't get enough of your scent, big guy." Midnight purred.

"Jeez... Mid, you keep that up and I'm not gonna last. I think I may have lost some of my stamina..." David groaned, a hint of concern in his voice.

"You'll be perfect for me either way, big guy," She said with a wink "Now hold still so I can get this lined up."

Midnight rose to her hooves and straddled David's torso as he laid on the couch. She managed to somewhat awkwardly rear back on her hind legs to give David access to her marehood. A drop of her crystalline juices dripped down onto the head of David's member as she gave a hard wink, causing him to visibly shiver at the sensation.

Slowly and steadily, Midnight lowered herself down until her lips met the flat head of David's length. She gasped upon the contact, but maintained her poise and continued to lower herself onto him. With a resistance similar to their first time all those months ago, David's head found its way pressing through her vulva and spreading her labia. Inch after inch of David's length pressed into her, and with a heavy sigh, she finally reached her limit. David's length pressed against her cervix almost to an uncomfortable level.

David's new length stretched Midnight's lips wide, and even with all her weight bearing down, he still had an extra inch of stallionhood to spare. Regardless, he was panting already and his wings were completely outstretched. They were almost painfully stiff, and before he could think about trying to gain control, Midnight leaned down and placed a loving kiss on his lips.

All other feelings seemed to fade to the back of his mind as he simply kissed his mare back. Even his wings seemed to regain some semblance of control.

Midnight's tongue darted into his mouth, and for the first time since he fell for her, David was able to beat back her tongue with his own, even broader tongue. The sensations of his new muscle seemed irrelevant until it was scraping and wrestling with Midnight's. Every nerve registered Midnight's tongue at such a higher level than he was used to, that after a few moments, he had to break the kiss. His mind did back flips as he tried to rationalize just how kissing Midnight could feel so much better than it used to.

"Y-you... okay there... big guy?" Midnight asked upon the kiss breaking.

"Yeah... just... wow everything is super sensitive right now... I was about to... just from kissing you." David admitted with a shudder.

Midnight found a wicked grin forming on her face as she leaned forward again.

"Oh really?" She purred, bringing her muzzle right to David's ear.

"Y-yeaAaahhhhhhh" David moaned as Midnight nibbled on his ear.

Lighting pleasure danced through his entire body as Midnight punctuated her nibble with a sensual lick from the base of his ear all the way to the tip. The feeling was indescribable - his hips involuntarily bucked up as the electric wave of pleasure danced throughout his body. A deep blush formed on the crimson pegasus's face, turning his coat an even darker shade of red. Midnight pulled herself away from David's ear and looked down at him with an extremely smug smile.

"Mmhh... pegasi ears are extremely sensitive..." Midnight seductively whispered.

"I-I... uh..." David stuttered, his mind still reeling from her assault on his ear.

"Don't worry, big guy. I'm gonna take care of you," Midnight blushed, "Cobalt was a pegasus. I learned where all of the most sensitive parts are..." She trailed off, pawing at his chest fur with her hoof.

"What do you meeeeaaaaaann...?" David's words trailed off into another moan as Midnight leaned down and nipped at one of his pinfeathers.

Another lighting bolt of pleasure darted through his body, from left to right, causing him to visibly shudder from the nearly overwhelming pleasure. Midnight stuck her tongue out in a playful display of affection before moving to his other wing and repeating the action. Again, his entire body shook, this time from right to left. He gasped as the light ministrations to his wings pushed him nearly to the edge.

"M-Mid... I.. jeez... let a guy breath." David managed between heavy breaths.

"Trust me, when I'm done with you, you're gonna be thanking me." Midnight replied before diving back into his feathers.

"H-how.. are... these things... so damn sensitive!?" David gasped.

Midnight trailed her tongue off of David's wing and brought it to his neck. She gently licked the side of his neck before lightly nipping at him. David immediately tensed up in response. His shaft was pulsing inside of her warm folds, and with every throbbing wink of her clit, he felt closer and closer to the edge. It took everything in his power to hold back from losing control.

"M-Mid... seriously... I'm gonna c-cum if you keep doing that..." David pleaded.

Midnight brought her eyes to his and lovingly gazed back at him. She could feel his length throbbing against her clit as it pulsed with each frantic beat of David's heart. She bit her lower lip as each beat seemed to register with every nerve in her body, sending euphoric bliss coursing throughout her veins. She looked down at his member, still speared inside of her warm folds, and a small pout formed on her muzzle. As fast as it appeared, it was gone, and she instead gave an understanding smile.

Smiling all the while, she leaned forwards and kissed him. Her tongue met his in a slow, deliberate show of passion. David seemed to relax somewhat at the gesture, and allowed his hooves to find purchase on Midnight's flanks. Slowly, he rubbed in circles around her cutie marks, eliciting a small moan from the dark mare as she continued to kiss him.

Midnight brought her hooves down to either side of David's head as she continued to kiss him. Her tongue darted over his teeth, and to her surprise, his canine's were still there. A small smile graced her lips before she pressed back into the kiss in earnest.

Finally, after what felt like forever, Midnight pulled away from David and gasped for air. Both of them took a moment to catch their breaths before Midnight leaned forward and lifted herself off of David until his length was just barely still inside her. Slowly, she lowered herself back down, earning a hiss of pleasure from the crimson pegasus under her.

David gasped as Midnight lifted herself up again, and once more as she came back down. The way her velvety insides gently caressed him each time he entered her, and the loving way they seemed to kiss his length goodbye each time he nearly completely exited, drove his new pony mind mad with pleasure. Each thrust was like an entirely different experience from the last, sending all new waves of pleasure throughout his body.

Midnight began to pant as her legs moved, and she tightly shut her eyes as each wave of pleasure wracked her body. She grit her teeth, and with a quiet moan, she rode him harder.

If David's wings weren't painfully stiff before, they most definitely were now. The longer Midnight continued to ride him, the less control he seemed to have over his body, as his wings began to flap on their own accord. Cool air blew past Midnight, gently brushing her messy mane out of her face, exposing a hungry look in her eye. After a matter of minutes, Midnight grew weak in the knees and she began panting heavily.

Being filled all the way to her cervix was normal for Midnight, but having David's new length filling her so much and still having room to spare was a new experience, and each time her clit rubbed against him, she felt a pulsating wave of electric pleasure shoot up her spine. Her breathing quickly became erratic, and her smooth, rhythmic motions became frantic, and uncoordinated. She harshly grit her teeth together as the feeling of pure bliss began to fill her groin and shoot up her spine. Before she could even begin to stop herself, Midnight found her climax already knocking on the front door.

With a breathless cry, she threw her head back, and stopped her movements. Her entire body tensed as wave after wave of pleasure filled her body and wracked her mind. David's heavily flared tip massaged her insides as her velvety walls convulsed and contracted on top of him. She couldn't even manage a word as the sheer energy of her orgasm overwhelmed her senses, and blanketed her mind. Stars appeared in her vision as marecum gushed out of her slit and all over David's stallionhood.

The feeling of his mare cumming on his length set David off. His wings arched back and stiffened to their full length. He threw his head back as every sensation of Midnight's supple lips caressed and tightened around his length and milked him for every last drop of his seed. His legs grew shaky and weak under her weight, and with a guttural groan, he came as well. Fiery love shot deep into her womb like a volcanic eruption. Spurt after spurt filled her to the brim, and within seconds, David's excess was steadily leaking out of Midnight and mixing with her marecum on his groin.

Midnight held herself in euphoric bliss until David completely finished before she fell forwards. David was there to catch her in an instant, and he gently brought her down onto his chest, her head resting in the crook of his neck like always. She took a few moments to steady her heavy breathing while David did the same. Slowly, his shaft went flaccid, and slid out of Midnight's marehood, allowing a small stream of cum to leak out onto his crotch. A quick flash of light from Midnight's horn, and they were both clean again.

Through the haze of pleasure and bliss, they held each other as if they were the only two beings in existence. For that moment, the love they shared was the only thing that mattered to either of them.

The cool light of the rising moon finally crested the mountainside, and with a lazy crawl, it finally bathed Midnight's house in its pale hue. The rising moonlight penetrated the glass and illuminated the graphite mare and her crimson stallion as they lay together, their hearts beating in sync.

David managed to open his eyes and look down at Midnight as she happily snuggled against his chest fur. Without even thinking, David leaned down and began licking Midnight's jawline up to her cheek. Her eyes immediately shot open, and a loving smile found it's way onto her face.

"David... are you... licking me?" Midnight asked, already well aware of the answer.

David froze mid-lick. His eyes darted from Midnight's face back down in an attempt to see his own tongue. He quickly returned his tongue to his mouth and fumbled for an answer.

"Uh... I... I guess... W-why am I doing this?" David asked, now having to physically fight the urge to continue.

Midnight smiled brightly and kissed him on the cheek.

"Pegasus instincts. Pegasi are the most monogamous of the pony races. It's natural for a pegasus to show affection to his or her mate by licking them. It's a show of affection and... well..." Midnight trailed off with a blush.

"And...?" David pressed.

"Well, it's kinda like marking your mate as yours and only yours, so that no other pegasus tries to steal them. Like I said, pegasi are the most monogamous of us ponies, so a lot of the time it's just a mare and a stallion, not a herd. Hence... pegasi can get a little possessive of their mates." Midnight explained, blushing all the while.

"So..." David began.

"Basically, your new body really appreciated the last fifteen minutes, and it's trying to tell you that you need to make sure you let me know it... You, um... your body wants to make sure every pegasus around knows that I'm yours and no one else's." Midnight explained.

"Oh... Well..." David trailed off, his cheeks dark from his heavy blush.

"I didn't say you had to stop... We already agreed that I'm yours and you're mine." Midnight whispered, gently booping David's muzzle with her own.

David hesitated for a second before leaning forward and kissing her. Her lips gently connected with his, and they shared a loving kiss. All too soon, it was over, and David leaned back again.

"So... uh... you don't mind, do you?" David asked, his instincts making him twitch slightly.

"Of course not, big guy. I love you." Midnight replied with a quick kiss on his muzzle.

David smiled under the quick peck, and proceeded to resume his ministrations on her cheek. He slowly brought his tongue to her jawline and trailed up the side of her face until he found her ear. In some strange way, his actions seemed to make Midnight melt into his embrace even more, and within a matter of minutes, he was lazily licking and nuzzling her cheek and neck while she was simply putty in his hooves.

As with all good things, eventually, it had to come to an end, and finally, David's instincts seemed to calm down. He rested his head on Midnight's wither, pressing his cheek against her neck. By the time he was comfortable, Midnight was already fast asleep, having dozed off under his loving ministrations.

"Hehe, she's probably more tired than I am after the last twenty four hours..." David thought to himself.

David held Midnight as she slept, a dopey smile still plastered on her muzzle. He allowed his own smile, and without another word, closed his eyes. Sleep came quickly, and for the first time in a long time, his dreams were not of the mist, but rather, they were of clear skies and sandy beaches. For the first time in his life, David felt like he was home.

"... shit. I forgot to make that 'tip-touching' joke to Luna..." David whined.
