Geniequestria

<Trixie> Ha! Trixie knows how that feels. I gave crowds a good show, but some heckled me because my boasting was over-the-top and I looked full of myself… including three of Twilight’s own friends! But Trixie is supposed to play it up for the audience! They may be known as the elements of friendship, but apparently understanding what a performance is isn’t part of friendship… …I guess to be fair it is true that I can be a little too proud of myself, but c’mon just look at me, especially NOW!

<Starlight> Ohhh, yes~ You were a very pretty magician before, and you make for an absolutely stunning genie~ <Trixie> Oh you flatter Trixie too much~ But do go on anyway! <Starlight> We ought to have another ‘duel’ when you get here, too~ <Trixie> Hehehehe, Trixie is so tempted to just use my genie power to teleport myself there right away just so we can get it on right this second~. But I’m feeling a stronger urge to genify some more ponies in this big city first. But I promise I’ll tell you when I’m heading over! <Starlight> That’s ok, Trixie. I’m feeling the same urge to grow Geniequestria further…  In fact, why don’t you gave a good look of how much is already Geniequestria territory~

They talk at length, eventually getting to the conversation about modern healthcare and how much has improved since Meadowbrook’s time. Including many ailments that had been fatal, or otherwise crippling are now rare or even nonexistent thanks to such miracle inventions as the vaccine. Which astounds Meadowbrook to no end. Wondering if such a miracle exists, does illness even exist anymore?

Which actually gets Nurse Redheart to sigh. Who tells Meadowbrook that as much as healthcare has improved, there are still some things vaccines can’t take care of. Mostly physical injury, and how sometimes ponies doubt the validity of such advances in technology just because of what it still can’t do. Or if it was applied too late to save somepony.

Inadvertently, Nurse Redheart wishes audibly that there was a singular vaccine for absolutely everything. Which gives Meadowbrook her chance, eager to use her new powers granted to her by Fluttershy. Meadowbrook tells Redheart that she may have just the thing and asks for an empty syringe. Redheart not understanding what Meadowbrook intends to do, but who is she to question this legend of healthcare.

Meadowbrook begins to imbue the syringe with magic, and tells Redheart to sit down as she’s about to apply it. Redheart raises an eyebrow before telling her that she’s already well-vaccinated for everything there is in this current age. The mage winks and hints that there is one ailment that indeed the nurse has to worry about… aging… as well as death.

Redheart’s eyes going wide and exclaiming that it’s impossible, though she’s then initially scared she means something like suspended animation in which Meadowbrook must have been in limbo. In which the Mage assures that’s not what she’s about to do. She insists for Redheart to trust her. Redheart isn’t too sure she can take the idea of curing aging and death even from her idol as nothing more than fool’s gold but decides to let Meadowbrook do what she wills.

As Meadowbrook slowly brings down the syringe, Redheart winces to prepare for the initial sting. Although surprisingly, when it’s inserted. There’s no sting at all, it smoothly goes in without an ounce of pain. She gasped, and even began to blush as she felt the opposite of a brief second of pain. It felt like more so she was getting an immediate dose of dopamine into her body. She coos and comments to Meadowbrook that this feels amazing. A power unlike nothing else welling up inside.

Though just seconds later, Redheart looks over to the hoof that the syringe had been injected in… and sees it was beginning to get sucked up into the syringe! 

As much as still felt no pain, it still presented a moment of panic as more of her hoof was absorbed into the syringe. She tries to use her other hoof to try to stop the syringe only making things worse as the syringe started taking in her other hoof. She was now helpless as her head and upper body began to warp into the syringe too.

She screams for a few seconds before it starts to fade as her mouth enters the syringe. From there, the nurse’s entire body is sucked into the syringe as easily as blood is taken from the body during blood drives.

A satisfying sound is heard once all of the nurse is in the syringe, the red cross of the nurse’s cutie mark appearing on both sides of the syringe. Meadowbrook herself is amused and prepares to release her newly genified pony. She presses on it as if to release its contents in the air. And she softly puts the syringe onto the table. White and pink smoke quickly swirling out of the syringe until it takes the shape of the nurse, now connected to the syringe via a curvy, smoke tail.

As Redheart faded in, she felt renewed. She was no longer as afraid as she had been in the seconds she was being sucked into the syringe. A blood red veil adorned her face, same with her forelegs. She asks Meadowbrook what just happened, and why she feels like she’s in the best shape of her life. 

Meadowbrook of course explains to her that she was now a genie and how much of Equestria is gradually becoming genified. Just like she is right now. Being a more science-focused mare, the nurse could hardly believe genies were real. But it was hard to dispute that she now had a smoke tail to her vessel, the syringe. And overwhelming power within her. Meadowbrook would say she’s generally all new to this herself, but no matter what. Being a genie felt great, even if the opinions of Starswirl have soured her positive feelings a bit.

Redheart understood now that genification was indeed the cure for everything. She also realizes this is what must have happened to those patients on her urgent care list. They must have become genies, and thus no longer needed such care. Though she laments a bit that she may be out of a job if nopony will ever need medical attention ever again should all of Equestria become genies. Though Meadowbrook pats her on the shoulder, reassuring her that even in a fully genified world. It will be satisfying to see the smiles of all former and would-be patients that nothing will ever harm them again.

Starlight nodded and followed the twins to the table they had chosen for her. She climbs on up, and lays in a prone position on top of the table. "If you need me to remove my veil or leggings to make things easier, I can do that with my magic at any point during this session" 

"We'll be certain to let you know, madam," said Aloe with a smile. Although she wondered briefly why that would be necessary instead of simply removing them by hoof... Of course, they did not know the significance of such garments.

"Now... just relax," came Lotus' delicate, dreamy voice. "As we show you ze marvels of unwinding. True rest and recovery~"

Aloe began to work her hooves softly and carefully into Starlight's shoulders, working with such practiced and majestic motions that all stress and tension began to fade away from them... Pleasurable pangs rippled faintly, all the way through Starlight Glimmer's body, as Lotus began to work on her mane.

"Ahhhhh~" Starlight was already seeing that the citizens of Ponyville's high regard for this place was far from unfounded. Aloe's hooves were as soft as a cloud but at the same time firm enough to relax any stiff muscles on Starlight's body.

Aloe herself felt something rather interesting as she felt Starlight's fur and skin. Something about it felt more smooth then most of her customers in the past. She observed as she rubbed the fur on Starlight's back. What she initially thinks is dandruff, is actually tiny sparks of pure magic. Now she's seen such sparks of magic during many sessions before, but that's only happened when they're asked to clean a unicorn's horn. It has never happened with anypony's fur, let alone as she would find... throughout their entire body! 

As Aloe massaged Starlight, the volume of magic radiating from her was far more than just a curiosity. This was more than in even the more powerful unicorns she had ever tended to. She kept the pace and smoothness of her massage correctly, but her curiosity grew and grew for every moment she worked her talent. Her hooves descended, massaging and pleasuring Starlight's lower back, approaching her flanks.

"So, what brings you to Ponyville?" she asked, in a quiet and gentle tone, yet her inquisitiveness was not fully masked. The magic made her too curious!

"Oh, you could say I came here to find some new friends. After all, this IS the friendship capital of the world... is it not?~" She smirked. "My old home town was a tiny village, and while the community there is great. Especially nowadays, I might add~. I wanted to find another humble town, but with a much larger population to get to know. I have so much to share with everypony here... I can't wait until I've properly met everypony in town, and have given them the most tremendous gift of all~" Starlight elicits a soft moan as Aloe softly rubs her flanks and plot.

It was those last words that, for but a moment, caused the twins to pause. Lotus while she was tending Starlight's lavish mane, and Aloe while she rubbed and massaged her gorgeous rear…

"Tremendous gift?" asked Aloe, before her hooves returned to kneading Starlight's plot so dreamily. "My, zat certainly sounds... interesting!" Though her professional manner remained, as of course it would, the curiosity in her tone was now quite clear.

And perhaps, thanks to the twin’s wonderful work thus far, the genie mare might feel relaxed enough to divulge some of her intentions, or lead the two toward what must surely be their fate. This was a chance to relax, and yet... work always needed done, yes?~

Those hooves kneaded Starlight's shapely, smooth posterior as a baker would dough; freeing the stresses from every muscle...

Lotus had also noticed the magical sparks seeping through every brush of Starlight's mane as Aloe did through her fur. She quickly became about as curious as her sister about their newest customer.

Starlight heaves a long, relaxed sigh. Very much satisfied with the work of Aloe's massaging hooves. "Shall I turn over so you can massage my chest, or does your sister need me to be in this position a little longer for my mane?"

"Ah, yes, madam. I belie.... I believe my sister is quite finished," she said, looking over at Lotus.

Lotus came to, as if having been in a brief daze. "Oh, y-yes! Why yes indeed..." She, after all, had noticed the sparkles herself. And though her practiced hooves worked as majestically as Aloe's, she couldn't help but hesitate as she questioned the source of the magic. She, too, had never seen so much at once.

"And it may be best to remove your.. attire now, madam~" continued Lotus, though her mind reeled with the puzzling question as to just who this visitor was!

Starlight breifly gets off the table and floats up a mirror to look at her mane, most of the back remained the same but it was the front that was certainly different. It was now curled to the side rather than her more matronly look, the curl going over her horn rather than splitting her mane in half. She has a gentle smile seeing her new look, she still sort of prefers her older cut. But she wouldn't mind having this style again from time-to-time. "Oh, very nice work, Lotus! I'll have to remember this on occasion~"

She puts the mirror back, laying back down onto the table, and nods as Lotus instructs her to remove her attire. She charges her horn for a brief moment, and her veil and leggings all disappear in a flash. The only remaining part of her attire was her ear piercings, but those were welcome to stay on as ear accessories weren't  too much of an obstacle. Starlight then turns herself over and lays flat on her back. So Aloe can finish up the full body massage.

And as Starlight positioned herself anew, the two spa owners continued their masterful massages. Hooves swathing and furrowing so finely over the fur on Starlight's front, letting pleasures cascade and blossom all throughout her magical being. Those suspicious sparkles glimmered all the more, all but dazzling the spa mares. Her forelegs and hindlegs alike were smoothly serviced, ensuring that pleasure rippled towards every inch of her being; hooves of pink and blue tending to a coat of luscious lilac.

"What a striking style your accessories have, madam," said Lotus of the vanished veil and leggings.

"Ooooooooo aaaaaaaah mmmmmmmmmmm~" Is all Starlight could audibly express as the sisters continued the massage especially as they rubbed all four of her limbs. Aloe's massaging hooves alone felt great, but the both of them working together was just a dream come true. There was only one other time she could recall where she felt greater than this, and that was... her transformation into a genie back at the Canterlot archives.

As she finally gets a chance to respond to Lotus' complimenting her attire. She turns her head and smiles, "Hehe... would you and your sister like a pair of your very own, perhaps?~"

"Would we? Oh goodness, I'm sure!" said Lotus with a musically light laugh. All while her hooves worked their wonders upon Starlight's beautiful body. From her front, to her legs, to her flanks, to her rear, to her tail, the lilac pony was awash in the marvels of their treatment.

"Hah, but with our ever-busy list of clients, we wish we could take ze time to get some," said Aloe.

"Agreed," said Lotus. "Indeed, madam, you picked ze ideal day to visit, when zat often-busy list found itself quite quiet for once."

But little did they realize what they just said, and to whom....

Starlight immediately responds with some sinister laughter, before sitting up. "Then perhaps... for your pleasantries you've given me today... I should reward the both of you... with a happy ending of my own making~" She then teleports off the table before levitating another table from nearby, reforming her veil and leggings before putting the table perfectly horizontal next to the one she was just on. She then gently places Aloe and Lotus on each of the two tables. 

"Wh-What?" said Aloe, suddenly.

"Huh? But... we haven't finished your treatment yet," said Lotus, and both stared at their customer with newfound confusion. Not that either had much experience reacting to a change of tone quite like Starlight displayed, and their puzzlement turned almost to outright shock once they found themselves levitated onto those tables!

"Don't worry about that, maybe I cut it a little short. But I can assure that you two did a fantastic job, I feel fully renewed already. So just sit tight, relax, and let all your wishes come true~" Starlight then charges her horn and creates two pairs of disembodied hooves made purely of a magic, she places them on each of the twins. Turning them over if they weren't already prone, and then massaging them on their back. 

Before either of the spa ponies could protest, they felt those ethereal hooves upon their bodies, touching and tending far more finely than could be believed... Those magic-wrought hooves moved with unprecedented grace, and all that stopped the two from submitting completely to their touch was the suddenness and shock of it all. And yet, they could not resist the relief those magical masterful hooves brought. "O-Oh my...." gasped Aloe.

Starlight continues to massage the spa workers in a similar manner that they had just done to her, rubbing their full bodies and loosening every muscle along the way. She turns them over to get their chests as well as their own hooves. All in the meantime, Starlight conjures up a fancy decanter-like bottle similar to the Day spa's bottles of moisturizer with two entrances on the top. She pops open both of the stoppers and lays the bottle on the floor below and in front of the two tables. Both of the twins are so enamored by Starlight's massage that they don't realize their pony tails are acting strangely...

"This is... Mmmhhh..." Lotus attempted, but the rush of relief helped drown out any concerns or questions she might have shared.

Aloe's body shivered with pleasure, drawing an erotic, dulcet gasp from her lips. "I've never felt so... so..." she too struggled to find the words. Were they to berate this sudden gesture from their client, question it, or merely welcome it?

All the while, though, their beautiful pony tails began to stretch and siphon towards the bottle... Pulling towards it, little by little, until both tail tips touched either spout.

"O-OHH!~"

"MMH!?~"

Starlight then smirks as she then uses the disembodied hands and begins to specifically focus on the twins' hindlegs. but rather than simply rubbing them. she starts shaping them as if they were clay. She rubs on up til' she gets to the twins' shapely hips, then she pushes the legs together. A gentle circular rub is all it takes to slowly make the line separating their limbs disappear until they form a singular pink and blue curvy and wavy tail that replaces each of the twins' lower halves.

The twins' faces arranged into expressions of sheer bliss! "What's happening to u-us?... What is... Mmmhhhh!" moaned Aloe, her face stricken with such a bright blush!

"Who are y-you?... What IS this... this... Oohhhhhhh, zis fabulous feeling!?~" cried Lotus, her smile spreading wide.

As their lower halves were stroked, caressed, sculpted anew into long, luscious, luxurious tails, their gasps filled the spa like song. As if the loss of hindlegs and gaining of these strange smoky tails was the truest sensation of relief their spa had ever seen! Their eyes all but rolled back, as their tongues lolled lustrously from their mouths. Shapely equine hips swelled and widened, befitting those wavering tails. Tails that tethered to the bottle, connecting tight!

"Ahhhh, I admit it must have been a little rude of me to not introduce myself earlier. Especially to such a classy pair of mares like you two. But my name is Starlight Glimmer, I was once a simple unicorn... or maybe simple is putting it too lightly. as even then I rivaled even your local princess in power~

But on one fateful night not too long ago, I found myself discovering, partly due to said princess... a power so great. That I just had to share with all pony kind... remember when I mentioned I had a tremendous gift for everypony in Ponyville?~ What you are receiving right now... is exactly what I have in store for the rest of this friendly town. You shall join me, as a beautiful pair of wish-granting genies~. 

Your spa won't be just a place for relaxation, you shall be granting ponies long-sought after dreams and giving them an experience... that will last for eternity~" 

Starlight continues to massage the two slowly closer to their vessel as she monologues, beginning to work on the twins torso above their hips. By now the two were slowly being slid off the table by the vessel's and Starlight's power, their heads further away from the edge of the table they were adjacent to.

Aloe and Lotus couldn't bring themselves to fight the pleasure filling them, nor did they truly want to. As they slid slowly from the tables, their tails were smoothly pulled into their vessel…

"Genies...?" asked Lotus, dreamy-eyed and orgasmic.

"Oooh, just think.... Genies~!" giggled Aloe, similarly drunk on delight. Such sultry gasps they gave, as they were slowly sucked downward into their new vessel, pleasurably embracing the gift Starlight had in store for them. A new eternal fate and calling, and a growing desire to share such a thrilling transformation with ALL of Ponyville!

As the twins' upper torso was beginning to stretch, their forehooves begin to stretch and warp around their back, and travel from there until they were again at the front, doing it a few more times, the twins felt like they were both somehow being both hugged and massaged by themselves as their hooves spiraled around their bodies. The two were almost entirely off the table at this point, if it weren't for the magic of the vessel they certainly would have fallen off. But the vessel's grasp is strong enough to defy gravity as the twins' shoulders and heads still rest quite peacefully at the very ends of the tables.

Even as all that remained was their heads and shoulders, their looks of bliss didn't falter. Sheer pleasure, erotic and arousing, coursed through their bodies in no way felt before. Such novel, exotic, mystifying delight, resonating through their changing and siphoning forms. 

"Ahhhhhhh~" they sighed, as those shoulders too were sucked into their new vessel. And with lidded eyes and dreamy smiles, their heads followed right behind...

As it happened, the last word to whisper from Aloe's pleasure-stricken lips was, "Genies....~"

Two simultaneous clinks ring as the entire being of the twins are collected within. The bottle then begins to change too, the clear and transparent glass becoming on one side pink, and the other blue. Something akin to the twins' very similar cutie mark fades onto the front, although the flower in their cutie marks being siphoned into or rising out of a vessel directly below it. The changed cutie mark emblematic of the forever changed destiny of the twins.

Starlight picks up the vessel, removes both of the stoppers. Before placing it back on the ground to prepare for the twins re-entrance as a pair of gorgeous genies!

Once Starlight removed the stoppers, there was but a moment of stillness... and then, from the fathoms of the bottle, there came such dreamy dulcet voices, giggling keenly. Up from the vessel's spouts blossomed plumes of smoke, pink and blue together, as Aloe and Lotus emerged right behind them! From either spout, the spa twins appeared wearing reverent smiles, as well as exotic veils and golden cuffs! Posing proudly, awash in erupting pleasure, the two spread their arms wide in utter reverence!

"Ooooohhhhhhh, YYYYYESSSS~!" cried Aloe, almost teary-eyed with joy.

"Now ZIS is pleasure! ZIS is satisfaction!" then said Lotus!

The two new genies were a sight to behold. Such beautiful mares, made all the more gorgeous by their flowing genie tails, and erotic genie garb. They, too, were now perfect!

The colors of the sisters' veil and leggings were the same as their corresponding mane and tail between the siblings... everything remaining in a perfect yin-yang between the twins.

"Now that's what I'd like to call... the genie treatment~" Starlight smugly commented to the twins, still reeling from their wonderful transformation. 

Aloe and Lotus wavered slowly, majestic and fluid as a mirage, as they explored themselves. Lotus looked upon her shining cuffs with cooing joy, while Aloe looked down at her genie tail with a gleeful squeal!

"The genie treatment you say?~" said Lotus, voice breathy with lingering pleasure.

"Hmmm... A-heheh. I dare say we ought to practice it upon some patrons, such as..." began Aloe, hoof toying at her chin. "Say, our entire client list~" As she said it, her shapely genie hips gave a smooth, sexy sway.

"Why stop at just your waiting clients~. You should put a great big advertisement for 1 FREE Spa treatment. You may end up initially busier than ever before... but I bet you could coax your first wave of clients to help deal with the new influx of ponies that will be lining up soon" Starlight wickedly cackles a little 

"Oh, but if I may speak a particular condition... if one of either Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, or Rainbow Dash enter. I need you to not genify them yourselves, and notify me beforehand. I personally want to give them the genie treatment they deserve... and if you can coax them into making a wish that can be interpreted as an excuse to genify them... I. will. be. there~" Starlight gives the twins a determined stare and a wicked smile

"Just about everypony else is fair game though. Genies have so much more freedom than those dusty old pony tales depict~. You girls enjoy yourselves, ta ta for now! I'll see you two again sometime~"

As Starlight explained and prepared to leave, the two spa ponies listened to her words. Wearing smiles as devilish and sly as her own, they nodded. Why Starlight wanted them in particular, they did not know, but Twilight and her friends would remain, of course, all for Starlight's taking!

As the lilac genie took her leave, Aloe and Lotus bowed in unison. "See you again, madam Starlight~!". And when Starlight left, she could hear them giggling with sheer joy behind her!

Whereas Roseluck giggles outloud. "Hehe, that's not it either! But I'll start with the regular ol' good news. The Storm King has been defeated! I don't know how exactly. But I just met and got word from this mare named Starlight that told me as well as Twilight and friends that the Storm King is no longer a threat! Equestria is in the clear!"

"w-w-w-w-w-WHHHHAAAAAAAT?! You m-mean... we're... s-s-s-safe?! But… wait… How is that ONLY the good news?!" Daisy has a skeptical face, feeling like like this has to be too good to be true

Lily did feel a bit sheepish about her out there guess. But this news was welcome indeed. Lily beamed, pulling the two into a big hug. "That's wonderful! We don't have to live in fear of him now!" She let out a very relieved sigh. "But I'm with Daisy, how could there be BETTER news than that!? Equestria's been in a tizzy since his declaration of invasion!"

"Tee hee! Coincidentally, it involves the same mare who broke the news! I don't know her past or anything, but she's absolutely amazing! She happens to be a real-life, honest-to-goodness genie! AND SHE TRANSFORMED ME INTO ONE TOO!"

"W-W-W-W-WHAAAAAAAT?! GENIES?!" Now that made Lily's guess seem normal by comparison. Even if the evidence seems to be staring right in front of them, the attire, Roseluck's missing lower half, and the vase on the floor that Roseluck seemed to be connected to. 

At least Lily's guess was based on a Beauty of the Beast-type fantasy that can technically happen in Equestria. As there have been, albeit fairly rare, cases of Ponies romancing dragons and yaks. But genies seem completely out of the question. Even for a magical land like Equestria. 

Lily's mind felt like it had just short circuited, this was almost too fantastical to believe even for her. "Genies are real?? YOU'RE A GENIE NOW?! CAN YOU GRANT WISHES AND DO ALL SORTS OF IMPOSSIBLE THINGS?!" Even with floating proof right there in front of them, it would take more time to really sink in. "So this Starlight must be absolutely incredible! Some kind of hero genie to work with the Elements of Harmony! That would also explain why you're floating from this vase!" She points towards Rose's vessel. 

Getting a good look at it, she's quite impressed by the quality. "I have to say it looks quite impressive too! Got your cutie mark on it! Though it does look a little different… that's weird... Still! Imagine what we could do for our shop if we had more like yours to sell flowers in! I think they'd look great in them, and we could have the flowers painted on like yours too!"  Something comes across Lily's mind "But I'm still confused, why were you taken in the first place?"

"Apparently, Twilight and friends wished from Starlight for me to be there, and they asked me to receive the Element of Kindness. Twilight apparently wanted me to substitute for Fluttershy for some reason. I admit that because of both the Storm King being defeated and becoming a genie has made me so happy... I forgot much of what Twilight told me! But regardless of the circumstances, I was blessed with overwhelming feelings of kindness! I passed down free roses to everypony I saw mere moments after receiving the necklace!" She beamed a grin, and had stars in her eyes.

"SO YOU'RE THE ELEMENT OF KINDNESS NOW TOO!?" Lily felt like she was going to faint from information overload, if she wasn't seeing Rose in front of her right now, she wouldn't be believing any of it. "I just… I can't..." She put a hoof to her head. "This is just so much to take in, Rose.... you're gonna give me a heart attack! Next you'll be telling us that you're going to be crowned a princess or something even more insane! I don't think I can take any more shocks!"

Daisy just about has a migraine from all this information filling her head, and much of her is admittedly a little skeptical of all of this being true. "I don't know, Rose... this seems all so farfetched... I think you need to back it up with some solid proof..."

Roseluck nods "Understood,  it should be easy enough to prove! All I need to do… is to grant a wish from each of you. So go ahead, girls. What do you desire?" She smiles in anticipation for her first granted wishes.

"A wish? Yeah! That would give us both solid proof this is all real!" She puts a hoof to her chin. "But what do I wish for....?" Lily looks very focused, thinking on what might be good. (Do I get something for the shop? No… no, I'd like to improve that with all three of us working together, that's what makes it fun...wait I know!) As if a light went off in her head, Lily speaks up. "Ok Rose, you know how we always have our fair share of panic attacks? I always hoped that some day these fainting spells and freak outs would come to an end. SO, I wish you could make me less prone to fainting and being so freaked out from every little thing! I know it's not like something physical, but that should still work... right?" 

Daisy herself seems deep in thought as she thinks what she should wish for first. "Say, wait, before I make the wish... you aren't like... limited to 3 wishes and then you're stuck in a cave for thousands of years are you?! Because if that's the case... I'd rather make no wishes at all..."

Roseluck shakes her head and smiles "Nah, don't worry Daisy! That was just a narrative limit for stories like Aladdin. As otherwise the heroes would win too easily, actual genies are far more free then you could ever believe! You two could have as many wishes as you want, so feel no need to pressure yourselves"

That comes as a relief to the both of them. "In that case, I'll start with something simple. I heard Lily mention your vase. And I have to agree, it's a beautiful vase. I wish we each had one of our very own!"

Lily smiles at Daisy, thinking that both of these wishes are good, one being physical the other being more internalized. And the explanation of how genie wishes really work makes Lily a bit excited for any future wishes to come. With Rose being their friend, they'd have access to infinite wishes, but she didn't want to take advantage either. 

Roseluck takes some time to think over both these wishes. And after a brief self-deliberation, she begins to giggle madly. "Hehehehe.... ahehehehehe~. I was hoping you both would ask for a wish in this manner~. Cause I know just the thing... that will grow two seeds with one drop of water!"

Lily’s thought process was shaken as Rose began to laugh. It sounded almost… villainous. "R-Rose? Why are you laughing like that?" She'd never heard such a tone from her friend before. Her mind jumped to conclusions yet again "Don't tell me… were you… possessed by some spirit?! The storm king has returned to haunt you for taunting him?! Your laugh is scaring me!"

Roseluck immediately calms down her laughter "Sorry Lily, I didn't mean to scare you. I was just thinking how much I was going to enjoy granting these two wishes, and how happy the three of us will be… for all-time!~ But let's start off with Daisy's wish..." 

Roseluck raises her hooves that glow with red rose-colored magic. 

"D-don't scare me like that!" She did calm down a little but she was still on edge hearing her friend sound like that at all. Watching her use magic for the first time did put some of these thoughts aside. Being earth ponies, the thought of ever being able to cast a spell only seemed possible in their wildest dreams. She looked in awe at the magic coming from Rose's hooves.

Soon, two vases fade into existence right in front of Daisy and Lily. Each one painted the same color as their respective coats and a stopper of similar color to their manes and tails. Neither of them had the cutie mark insignia like it does on Roseluck, but they otherwise matched the exact shape and size as Roseluck's own vase.

Daisy approaches her vase with stars in her eyes. She could see a warped reflection of herself with how clean and smooth it was. "Wow...." is all Daisy could mutter as she observes the vase from up close.

"Amazing!" Lily trotted over to her own vase, there was a shine to it that she couldn't take her eyes off of. "It's so… pretty. Guess we'll have to paint our marks on it, huh? That could be a fun project! Oooh, and we could sell something like this for the shop! Personalized vases!" Before she let herself get distracted any further, she looked back to Rose ``Oh right! Now it's my turn right?"

Roseluck nods "Mmhmm, and believe it or not. The secret to your wish... will be found inside your vase~. And Daisy, I know you have some of your own fears even if you don't jump to conclusions as often as Lily does. But in a way, I still granted Lily's wish for you too! Inside these vases, are the secret to all of us never fearing anything ever again!"

Daisy raises an eyebrow in skepticism "Something... inside these vases... are supposed to clear any fear of ours for good? Even for a genie this sounds unlikely..."

"Why don't you open the vase for yourself then, Daisy? And take a look inside~" Roseluck smirks.

Daisy shrugs "Well... if you say so..." Daisy takes off the topper with her mouth and looks down into the barrel. At the same time, Roseluck secretly locks the door to her basement from the other side with a brief flick of a hoof behind her back.

The way Rose explained how her wish was granted confused Lily. "The answer is… inside the vase? I didn't think it'd be something physical that would just make us not so scared… but why not just bring it out here? I'm with Daisy on this one, it just sounds really unlikely..." She watches as Daisy opens her vase first. There's a faint 'click!' in the distance but with Lily and Daisy focused on the vases, they couldn't hear it. 

In the rather dimly lit basement, Daisy can't see anything but pitch black with not much light shining in the vessel for her to see what's inside. 

"What do you see Daisy?" Lily asked curiously

Daisy moves her head away from the vessel to look toward Rose

"It’s too dimly lit in here to see anything in there, Lily. But either way… I don't know about this, Rose... there doesn't seem to be anything i-i-i-i-iNNNNNNNN HEEEEEERRRRR-AHHHHHMMMMMMMMMHHHHHHHMPPpphhh!" 

The vase pulls in Daisy's nose, and quickly muffles Daisy's shrieks as her mouth enters. She puts her hooves on the edges of the vase instinctively to try to pull herself out, but that only helps the vessel faster as her own hooves follow her head and neck.

Knowing full well this was going to make Lily run straight for the door, or failing that, a corner of the room. Roseluck opens Lily's vase and points it towards her. 

Lily screamed when she witnessed her friend's face and head stretch straight into the vase that Roseluck had created for her "DAISY!!! ROSE, WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER!? WHY DID THAT HAPPEN?!" Her heart rate skyrockets, immediately panicking as her fight or flight responses take over. She fumbles about with her hooves, trying to run, but the door wasn't getting any closer… in fact it felt like she was getting pulled back. 

"No, NOOOO!!!" She looked back to see that Rose had opened up her own vase, and it was sucking her in! Her blond tail elongated first, followed by her hindlegs. She looked like she was about to cry. "Rose, we're your friends! Wh-wh-why are you doing this to us?!"

"I understand your fear, Lily. But this is a necessary step in the process, and I don't mean in a face your fear kind of way. Allow me to at least clear your last feelings of uncertainty. I am giving you two none other than the kindest gift I can think to give… we will all be genies together! Making each other's wishes come true, and spreading this joy to others like a flower spreading its pollen... And with the power we will have, nothing will ever scare us again!" Roseluck knows that Lily's fear isn't going to make this easier. Roseluck was just about entirely willing throughout her entire transformation even before her hooves touched the vase, so she's not entirely aware of the vessel's ability to make even the most reluctant ponies bend to its will. But she hopes once Lily is released, she'll understand.

At the same time, Daisy's hindlegs and pony tail have been lifted off the ground. Daisy's hooves kick wildly for a moment before they slowed down as if suddenly Daisy began to accept her fate. For Lily, more and more of her tail is pulled within the vessel. Dragging her slowly towards the vase's opening. Her hindlegs swirl around each other and merge until Lily has the same sort of half-body column of smoke that Roseluck has had the entire time.

"That all sounds nice… B-b-but that's not what I wished for! I didn't ask to be a genie! It's not what Daisy wished for either! Please, j-just make this stop, Rose! This isn't like you at all!" Despite her tail and hindlegs getting sucked in already, Lily still tried to run, she knew it was futile but she had to try anyway. 

She could see that Daisy had already been sucked in about halfway in, panicking similarly to her… then she stopped. "D-Daisy?! Rose, this is just horri..." The elongated tail that was her hindlegs connected to the vase at last, an electrifying tingle rocks through her body, her mind opening up like a flower in bloom. "Horri.... Hoooooo~ ....wh-what is this~? It's the... furthest thing from a horrible disaster..." 

Her scared expression shifts to a pleasured looking one. Lily stopped trying to run as she let the vase now suck her in further. up past her hips. "R-rose, why didn't you start with this.... instead of… ooooh~... scaring us....?"

Roseluck lets out a small gasp seeing how quickly Lily turned around "Huh... I'm as surprised as you are if I'm honest, Lily... when I was being transformed. I wasn't even scared, I was still reeling from the effects of the Element of Kindness overwhelming me. I did remember it being particularly.... pleasurable when it got to where you are now. But I didn't know it'd be capable of calming you so quickly, so I apologize... Granted... I imagine the fact I didn't warn you when I thought you'd be kicking and screaming the whole way in is rather deceptive of me... but I promise I held no ill intentions. Just let your vase smooth all your fears and worries away~"

Next to Roseluck and Lily, Daisy's hindlegs straighten up in one last kick before they slip into the vessel. All that's left was Daisy's green ponytail, which quickly gets slurped up like a noodle by the vase. The vase's stopper falls onto the opening, sealing Daisy inside. Daisy's cutie mark, albeit slightly changed, starts fading onto the side.

Lily puts her hooves behind her back as she floats vertically above her vase. The sensation and tingling only increased the more of her enters the vase. She starts getting pinched down, her body making an upside down cone shape with her shoulders and head being the widest part of her body while the rest of her body seems to have formed a near triangle above her vase. She squirms as her forehooves enter the vessel, but not as an attempt to escape. The pleasure's simply making her shake in ecstasy. 

Most of what Rose told her seemed to fall on deaf ears. Her mind was too absorbed by the pleasurable feelings to really understand. But she did hear the apology "It'ssssss fine now… I forgive… oooooh~… you, Rose." All of her fears, worries, doubts, they all seemed to just fade away as she was sucked further in. As she leaned her body back, the sensations continued to get stronger, until... "AAAAHHHH~!!" One last moan that echoes throughout the basement as the 3rd member of the trio completes her genification.

Like Daisy's vase, the top for hers seals it shut, the three lilies that made up Lily's cutie mark slowly took shape on the vase with all of them being stretched downward. 

Both vases rumbled as they were fully sealed, the transformation having been complete. All that needed to be done now was for Rose to let her flowery genie friends bloom into a new phase of their lives.

Roseluck claps her hooves together and thinks to herself (That was fun! Can't wait to do this again but as a proper genie trio!). She then lifts open the stoppers, the vessels trembling before releasing two different shades of pink  with green and blonde sparks rising all the way to the ceiling. The ends of the smokes form into the silhouettes of the two flower ponies, before the both of them fade in, Daisy's veil and leggings are green while Lily's are a bright white. The two let out long satisfied sighs as their emergence completes.

"That... was certainly a ride... but a ride I wouldn't mind going on again~" Daisy's eyes go lidded as she basks in the transformation she just received.

Lily bursts out of her vase, the magical clouds that emerged with her looking like pollen that had just been released. She takes a moment to really adjust to this, examining her new jewelry and white veils. The genie magic flowed through her freely, in her mind it felt as if she'd been unshackled from her previous thinking. There was no longer fear within her, but excitement. "Gosh, I feel like a whole new me! It really was scary at first, but now I think I could take on just about anything! But most importantly...." She swirls around the other two, pulling them into a hug "We can be together like this, forever!!"

Roseluck and Daisy return the hug. "I'm glad the both of you love it, too! Now how about we relax, and make the gardens of our dreams within our vessels... and tomorrow... I think we should make plans to visit Junebug~" Roseluck suggested with a smile

Daisy beamed putting her forehooves on her cheeks "Ooooo, yes! Junebug must absolutely join us for this! Flower ponies, pollinating the world with our wondrous magic!" 

"You didn't tell us we could do that! Oooh I know just how I'll be setting it all up too! This will mean we can grow anything in any season without worry!" Lily's eyes lit up at this plan. "That's a wonderful idea! With Junebug with us, we can make the world a better, more flowery place! Why keep this all to ourselves?"

The trio then each enter their own vessel to construct a field of their favorite flowers all around them. Roses, Daisies, and Lilies respectively. When they were done, the trio entered eachother's vessels and marveled at every one of their best friends' fields. They'll have plenty to do and talk about, before they let in a 4th pony in on their wonderful transformations and endless, never-ending gardens..

SIDE STORIES

All Fauna needs to do now is follow the long trail of the snake itself (From a safe distance, that is!), until she can see its head, and hopefully Fluttershy tending to it… and not in the snake’s stomach… 

A small gasp escapes Dr. Fauna as she spots what looks like the snake's tail. It's even bigger than she thought but the giggling she thought she heard was a good sign. "Fluttershy? Could that be her?" From this vantage point, she can't tell how far away the head is. "Take it slow, Fauna… this snake doesn't seem to have noticed you" She thinks to herself as she follows the sounds of the giggling. The snake itself doesn't seem to be moving so she can at least study from a distance. "If Fluttershy really is trying to help this snake, it's no wonder that she'd need all her animals to do it! There doesn't seem to be any injuries on its scales either… maybe further up?" 

Unbeknownst to the veterinarian, as she followed the trail of this very long snake. The “snake” was curling the end of its tail, the tail gradually pursuing and encircling the approaching pony, but done slowly enough as not to raise any red flags. More hisses and giggles are heard, they get increasingly louder as Fauna follows the tail’s entire length.

Dr. Fauna hopes that her rustling isn't too loud to alert the massive creature. If she were spotted, there wouldn't be much to keep her hidden. The yellow fur and powder blue mane stick out like a sore thumb within the everfree. As she makes her way through the brush, she accidentally steps on a branch that lets out a loud 'CRUNCH' underneath her hooves. Dr. Fauna freezes at the sound "Oh… dear..."

Once the vet had carelessly stepped on a branch, time seemed to speed up. As suddenly the tail that was following the pony LUNGES forward, Fauna barely has time to react before she’s forcefully grabbed, the long tail quickly coiling around her, the muscles too much for Fauna to struggle free from. The poor veterinarian seems to have stepped right into the predator’s trap… 

"AHHH!!!" Dr. Fauna's scream echoes through the forest, any attempts to squirm out of this snake's grip are met with tighter constrictions. All of her belongings fall to the ground as she's picked up. "I DON'T WANNA BE SNAKE FOOD!!" She starts to hyperventilate within the grasp of the tail. While Dr. Fauna has dealt with many snakes in her life, none of them were ever big enough to do this to her. She thinks to what she knows about constrictors "Tensing up will only make it worse.... I… have to… urk… relax… I need to help Fluttershy! But… some help I turned out to be… I knew I should've gotten somepony to assist. If only I could get out of this..."

The giggling reaches its full volume as Dr. Fauna suddenly hears an all too familiar voice, if perhaps under some strange kind of filter. “Yesssssss, that’sssss right… jusssssssst relax yoursssssself~”. The front of the snake remains hidden, but the voice bewilders the veterinarian. Did the snake just TALK?! And if so… why did it suspiciously sound so much… so much like… 

"The… the giggling must be just some kind of predatory bait… lure a pony in with something… hrk... that sounds like laughter and..." The sudden voice took Dr. Fauna off guard completely."W-what the?! It… you can talk?! And you… you sound so much like… like… Fluttershy?" 

After saying it out loud, it sounded ridiculous, that couldn't be the case could it? Why would a snake have Fluttershy's voice? Animals can do many things in the everfree forest, but a talking one is a wholly new discovery. It would be fascinating if she weren't trapped in its coils. "Wh-why do you want me to relax? So it makes me easier to eat, is that it!? You used my friend's voice to lure me in? Eat me like you did her and her sweet animal friends?!" This too sounded ridiculous, but of course Dr. Fauna wasn't quite sure if this was actually happening, or if she was hallucinating at this point

More giggling is heard, before the front end of the snake finally shows itself before the vet. Only it’s not anything the veterinarian was expecting. 

She gasped as she saw Fluttershy was right there, her eyes looked a little different, and she noticed what seemed to be fangs in her mouth. Those of a different kind from the fangs she had as a bat pony. Nonetheless, Dr. Fauna was less frightened and a lot more relieved that her dear friend was ok after all. Even if a few things didn’t seem quite right to her still…

“Sssssso glad you could make it here, Doctor~” Fluttershy tilting her head slightly with a gentle smile. “Do not worry, no harm will come to you. I’d never do that to a pony that lovesssss animalsssss as much as I~”

Fluttershy’s gentle voice does sooth some of Fauna’s remaining worries, but something still bothered her. Did Fluttershy say I, as if… she’s the snake?! That couldn’t be, could it? And that’s when Dr. Fauna looks at where should have been hindlegs and a pony tail… but definitely wasn’t. 

"Fluttershy?" Dr. Fauna blinks a few times in disbelief, she needed to be sure she was actually seeing who was in front of her  "It is you! Oh thank Celestia you weren't made into snake food. But..." She takes a good look at Fluttershy, the top half looks normal, save for the slit like irises and fangs. Not to mention a rather peculiar set of jewelry and transparent clothing on her face and forehooves, but the fact that Fluttershy's lower half doesn't end in hindlegs, rather an incredibly large, elongated body instead, still fills her with concern. She does find it hard to look away from Fluttershy's piercing eyes, but her fear allows her to, for the moment. 

"What happened to you, Fluttershy? And to your animals! Your home was completely barren! As if there were never any animals there in the first place! I thought you went missing or somepony had kidnapped you. I tried to rescue you but then I got pulled up by… a giant snake, or… you? And now you're here and you're looking like this and sounding like… like a snake..." It's at this point that things start to click, the 'snake' was Fluttershy! But if that's the case, why play such a prank on the poor doctor? She never knew Fluttershy to be a prankster, she was quite the opposite! All these questions running through her head, it was making her dizzy "Why did you… do all this?" 

Fluttershy giggles a little more before booping the vet's snoot "Every sssssingle one of my beloved animalsssss are sssssafe and sssssound back at home. In a little while, I can ssssshow you where they all went. But for now, I sssssset up all thisssss for ssssome quality time together. I won't bore you with all the detailsssss, for it'sssss a ssssssstory that'ssss longer than my tail currently isssss, hehe. But I will at leasssssst tell you that I have gone through sssssome... changessssss recently. And I thought it'd be a fun way of ssssshowing you jussssst one of near infinite thingssss I can do now~" 

While Dr. Fauna is relieved to hear that the animals are all safe, their location doesn't make any sense to her. "At your home? But… there wasn't any sign of them? This whole situation is beyond flummoxing, Fluttershy! To say these are just 'some' changes is an understatement!" She gestures to Fluttershy's massive body as she says this, noticeably finding it even harder to look away from her eyes now. It was as if she were using her stare but that only worked on animals… right?" 

"W-what exactly do you mean by it being one of the… near infinite things? You… you're not sounding like your usual self, Fluttershy."There was a heavy amount of concern in her voice, this was Fluttershy... but the speech patterns, the new form, the more dominant tone, it was still making Dr. Fauna unsure of the whole situation*

"Oh!" Fluttershy puts a hoof on her cheek while giggling again "Did I not quite ssssspecify? Ssssssilly me! They're in a... home within a home ssssshall we sssssay~. It'll be eassssy to explain once we're back in the cottage. For now however..." Fluttershy intensifies her stare, using her long tail to make sure Dr. Fauna can't even turn her head away. 

"It'ssss time for me to grant you one of your longessssst held desssssiresssssss~. In all our yearsssss of friendsssssship, I’ve picked up on what particularly interesssssstssss you about different animalssss. Though when I assssked you in our firssssst year as friendsssss, if you had a favorite animal. You anssssswered that it wassss the sssssnake. Though you never ssssspecified why that wasssss.

That alwaysssss felt ssssstrange to me, whenever I assssssked ssssssomepony’s favorite animal. They’d explain why, even if it’ssss as ssssimple as ‘They’re sssssso cute!’. But you yourssssself never elaborated…

Nonethelesssssss, I have noticed you alwayssss ssssseem to sssssee the reptilessss firsssst as if there wasssss a particular reasssson for it. Either you musssst jusssst really like my ssssnake Antoine, or… you weren’t sssssure if I would find your reassssson for liking sssssnakes ssssso much as too weird or even embarassssssing… 

In other wordsssss… you have a thing for sssssnakes… don’t you?~” Fluttershy smirked with a toothy grin.

"Wh-wh-whaaaat!?" Dr. Fauna blurts out. Her face turns a deep shade of pink as Fluttershy accurately points out what she was into. She wanted to refuse, make some kind of excuse to explain her fascination "It's um… it's just that… I… I uh..." Nothing could come to mind however, it's as if her mouth became dry as she tried to force out a lie. The stare Fluttershy was giving felt as if it compelled her to tell the truth. It was almost terrifying, but she couldn't deny that some part of her liked it. The grip of the snake tail, the piercing gaze, Fluttershy called her out and she was right. Dr. Fauna gulps nervously "...s-so ...so maybe I am ...uh, into snakes… they're just… so alluring, you know?"

"I thought ssssso~. I'm aware of all kindssss of reassssons one would find interessssst in animalsssss. And for thossssse who have a particular fassssscination with ssssssnakes, they have a sssssurprisssssing variety of reassssonsssss for their interesssst. 

Maybe they'd like to know how losssssing their limbssss came about in their evolution, maybe the tight embrace of their coilsssss ssssounds more inviting rather than ssssscary, maybe it'sssss the eyesssss that feel like they can sssstare you down to your very sssssoul and make you do their bidding, or maybe it'ssss the feeling of the longer they are... the more of them there isssss to love...

Or maybe it'ssss all of the above and plenty more~. I perfectly underssssstand how one could find sssssnakes fasssssscinating in multiple wayssss. And you sssshouldn't be ssssshy about what you love, which isssss why I chossssse to make all your dreamsssss come true... and sssssoon, you'll forever be able to continue indulging in your wildessssst dreamssss yourssssself~

Now... why don't you let yourssssself relax in my coilsssss and tell me the most ideal ssssssnake encounter you've ever dreamed about, and I'll do everything in my power to fulfill your desssssiresssss~" Fluttershy smugly smiles, waiting for Fauna to tell her everything she'd be comfortable with being done to her by a giant snake 

Dr. Fauna can feel a tighter squeeze from Fluttershy when she emphasizes her points. She can't help but let out a small pleased gasp when it happens. If she could cover her face up, she would but Fluttershy's tight coils have her locked in place. She felt as if she were lost in a fog, Fluttershy's eyes being the only 'lights' to guide her. Everything felt hot, her breathing became heavier, never did she think Fluttershy would be the one to make her feel this way. She'd known her for so long, and yet has never seen this... dominance from Fluttershy before. Dr. Fauna did start to relax as Fluttershy asked, though it felt more like a command. The coils around her feel less like a heavy pressure and more like a tight blanket.

"You… want to make my dreams come true? What do you mean by that? It's not like... I want you to squeeze me a little tighter or pull me in closer just within range of your fangs or ....eeep! Did I say that out loud?" She can no longer pull herself away, even if she tried "I… I've never seen this side of you, Fluttershy… but you're right! My fascination and admiration isn't wrong! I just… I wish others could see it that way..."

She sort of grants her latter desire by baring her teeth within her after a quick lunge but doesn't open up her mouth too large. She knows Fauna has interest in snakes, but assumes making it seem like she's going to eat her, given what she said earlier... may be a step too far even for Fauna's interest. She does certainly at least give a few more tight squeezes, though she's careful not to make it so it hurts. Her ears do perk up at the wish, and knows she could use it. Though she's thought of a little bit more of a fun way to perform it.

 "Don't you worry, when I'm done with you. Other poniesssss will sssssee how your perssssonal dessssires are an important part of who you are... though pardon me if I'm going on a ssssslight tangent... how do you feel about... hypnosssssissssss by chance?~" 

Fluttershy readies her eyes as if to intensely stare further, though makes sure she hears the doctor's consent first before going all in.

"Yaaah~!!" Dr. Fauna screams at the tighter squeeze and sudden lunge from Fluttershy, but it doesn't sound like one of fear, more like a scream you'd hear at a concert. Her heartbeat quickened, the excitement she felt was unlike anything she'd experienced before. And the talk about others understanding the importance of personal desires, it was all sounding too good to be true!

She tensed up at the mention of hypnosis, biting her lip. "I um… I'm into the idea of it. It does kind of go along in a similar vein to my f-fascination for snakes. But..." she stares deep into Fluttershy's eyes, feeling she may have an idea of what's coming next. "What exactly did you have in mind?" She asked in a more excited tone, anticipating any other surprises Fluttershy had up her sleeves

“Gooooood, then no time like the presssssent~” Fluttershy’s eyes stare more intensely than before, and spirals begin to fill in the white of her eyes.   

“Now, my dear friend… I’m going to loossssen up my coilsssss a little bit jussssst enough to allow you to move yoursssself… but what I want you to do… issss to dance as ssssoon as you hear the musssssic, I want you to rhythmically sssssway sssside to sssside as you hear the insssstrument'ssss ssssong, jusssst as a ssssnake would…” Fluttershy then poofs up a pungi flute from thin air and places it in her hooves, she then poofs up a well-woven basket of sorts that stands just below where Dr. Fauna is being lifted from by her snake tail.

Fluttershy starts playing the flute, and an exotic tune begins to flow through the veterinarian’s ears. 

"Right now? But how are you... you… ooooh." Before Dr. Fauna can even finish her thought, she's completely enraptured by Fluttershy's hypnotic gaze. A dopey smile comes across her face as she sways from side to side. Similar spirals appear in her own eyes, her world is nothing more than a swirl of colors, with Fluttershy's piercing gaze being the focal point in the center. Fluttershy's words echo in Fauna's head and she slowly nods. "Sure... whatever you say...."

As soon as the music reaches her ears, she can't help but dance just as Fluttershy had asked. She dances as best as she can considering she's still somewhat coiled up, not even noticing the woven basket that Fluttershy had pulled out of nowhere. She was lost within the music, her hips swaying from side to side, but she never broke eye contact with Fluttershy. "I… I didn't know you could play that so well. It's so soooooothing...."

Fluttershy while still playing with the flute silently uses magic to lift the top off the basket, soon Fauna’s pony tail begins to wave, to Fauna it seemed like it was dancing on its own accord as it stretched closer and closer to the basket.

While still dancing, the vet feels a strange sensation as her hindlegs start to stretch as well, spiraling around each other until they start to feel like they’ve merged into one. With whatever remaining full consciousness she had in her brain under Fluttershy’s hypnotism. She half-wondered if she was being transformed into a snake form similar to Fluttershy’s own. Though her merged limbs were much less solid than a snake tail, as she felt more and more weightless.

At first, Fauna couldn't tell whether she was moving her tail or if it had been moving on its own. As her lower half begins to stretch and merge into one, she continues to sway and dance, not realizing that her elongated form had a destination, the basket. "This… this is so… wonderful...I feel so light... Is this what being a snake is like?" The stretching sensation sends a tingle through her as she's pulled closer and closer to the basket. Once it finally starts to connect, she's given a moment of clarity. She notices the basket that her body was drifting towards. "What is that fo.... ooooooor~" A loud gasp escapes her, the tingling sensation surges through her body.

Much more powerful than it was when it was simply stretching out. Her thoughts still lost within that fog, she can barely form a sentence as she's pulled in. "...more …I want more..." Her hind hooves, and tail were fully in the basket, her upper half having slipped from Fluttershy's coils. But she had no desire to try to break away from what was happening to her. Even if she wasn't in a trance, it felt too good to stop now.

With Fauna free from her coils, Fluttershy lays the parts of her tail that were holding on to Fauna back down on the ground. Smiling as she watched Fauna gradually get shaped down so that all of her would go into the basket before continuing on with her flute playing. She take a brief moment to lift the vet's uniform from her torso and lays it softly on a nearby tree branch.

The feelings that the veterinarian mare was feeling getting all the more intense as more of her is pulled into the basket. Her hooves were on her side the whole time during her dance, as to truly dance like a snake, you have to get as close as you can to having no limbs. her forelegs have thus stretched alongside her body. Soon all that’s above the basket, is her chest, her shoulders, and her head. Hearts fill her eyes, as the sheer pleasure gets closer to its crescendo… 

"Ah.... this… this feels so wonderful… it's… it's..." The intense sensations build up even more as the last parts of her are sucked in, any hesitation she had, any concerns, they were long gone by now. She happily swayed much like a snake would, she even playfully stuck her tongue out and gave a little hiss. Once her shoulders had been taken in, the final burst of energy swelled into her and she let out a moan that echoed through the Everfree Forest "OOOOH IT'S SSSSSSSS AMAZING~!" 

This was the last thing she had said right as her head had sunken down into the basket along with a loud 'SCHOOOOOMP'! The cover of the basket had gently floated on top, sealing Dr. Fauna within.

“Now wasssssn’t that ssssspecial~. I hope you were watching the ssssstream Ssssstarlight…” Fluttershy looks to a hidden camera placed in the trees where she had been live streaming this genification to Starlight via DisChaos.

Starlight’s is far away from where Fluttershy is and currently inside her lamp. But she got to watch every detail of what Fluttershy did. She's got a blush and a tiny bit of a nosebleed as she watched that unfold, safe to say she was at the very least… impressed.

(“I’ll have to remember this the next time I spend a night with Trixie…”) She thought to herself, though other thoughts came to her mind. On how despite luring Dr. Fauna to a trap and using hypnosis, Fluttershy made sure her “victim” was comfortable, and consented to what she was doing. And knowing full well that Fauna had a secret thing for snakes even before all this. Fluttershy masterfully using her kindness to the best of her ability to perform this genification to perfection. 

It for a brief moment gives Starlight some pause, wondering if she should be more considerate of the next pony she transforms. Though she knows for most ponies she can’t easily tell what secret fantasies and/or desires they have she could take advantage of. If everypony is to be genified there are unfortunately going to be instances where she’s not taking into account their feelings on the matter, nor what they are open to. But she does concede that if she knew every pony’s little secret as Fluttershy knew Fauna’s. This would be a heck of a lot easier.

She shrugs it off for now, as mentioned in their personal talk with eachother. She doesn’t feel it’s necessary to take the time to find out each and every single pony’s individual likes. Though Starlight certainly can’t deny that what Fluttershy did for Dr. Fauna wasn’t real special because of it. Starlight can’t expect to ever know a pony like Fluttershy knew her friend though, so there’s not much she feels can be done about it.

Back in the forest, Fluttershy stops her camera’s stream. “Thisssss will be a fun one to ssssshow to Rarity too~”. Saving the recording for when Rarity can see it in private the next time they talk on Discord’s magical program. 

Fluttershy then magically envelops her entire long self as well as the basket currently containing Dr. Fauna, and teleports them all back inside her cottage. She sets the basket vessel on the living room table, and lifts open the top. Releasing her now fellow animal-loving genie back out, for a glorious re-entrance. 

Dr. Fauna had no idea she had been recorded, her thoughts while within the basket were focused on the bliss she felt. On the outside, the basket displayed her cutie mark, what was once a dog, cat, and bird have shifted to what she embraced inside, a snake coming out of a vessel. The power now surging through her made things clear in her mind. She no longer felt shackled by her fears, instead now feeling more free than ever before. 

Once Fluttershy had opened up the lid, she came out in a similar way that she had entered, by dancing. She even had her own musical accompaniment, sounding similar to Fluttershy's flute playing earlier.  Like all the other genies that have gone through the transformation, she was adorned with a veil in a similar shade of blue to her mane and jewelry. 

"Aaaaaah~! I feel like I've just woken up from the best dream of my whole life! It'sssssss magical!" She giggled, still feeling like a playful snake rather than a genie.

Fluttershy lifts herself and reaches level with her snake body so that she’s even leveled with the floating veterinarian “Welcome back, Doctor~. Now that you’ve been transssssformed, I’m sssssure you musssst be curioussss what I’ve done to you. I recall that you asssked if feeling much lighter issss how it’s like to be a sssssnake, but it’ssss not. Naturally, a long ssssnake tail actually sssshould make you feel heavier, albeit alssssso sssstronger with all that mussssscle. Perhapssss you ssssimply thought it wassss decorative accesssssssoriessss to my ssssnake form, but the veil on our facessss, the vessssssel you entered, and the bracerssss on our forehoovessss meanssss sssso much more…

You now have the power to do anything, BE anything, and both ssssshow or sssshare your greatesssst dessssiresss while fulfilling othersss. You are now a wisssssh-granting genie jusssst like me. When you wisssshed that othersssss could sssssee your interesssstsssss as I do, I interpreted it in ssssuch a way that you’d gain the confidence to sssshare your dreamssss with no fear of anypony’ssss judgement, as my genification hasssss cleared all of my own insssssecuritiessss and fearsssss. I’m very much aware you were ssssurprisssssed at how drasssstically I’ve changed ssssince your lassssst visit, but I promisssssse you that it’sssss a change that I love… as you must underssssstand yourssssself now…” 

Dr. Fauna tilted her head and looked at her new accessories as Fluttershy explained what she'd done to her "So… this isn't just some costume change? I'm a… genie?" She looked shocked yet at the same time part of her already had an idea that she had changed. "Does this mean I could become a snake pony… like you?"

There were many more questions that popped into her mind but they didn't seem as important or stressful. This did however give some explanation to why Fluttershy was acting the way she was, and why now she felt much more free to express her desires. "I think I get it, and you're right! I… I feel free… more free than I've ever been! I've been flummoxed by a lot of things, but this is something I'm sure of!" She looks back with a smile "And it wouldn't have been possible without you! Though you really did give me a scare, Fluttershy! I feared the worst had happened to you, and your animals! Oh! That's right, your animals! The reason I came in the first place was to give them their checkup! Where exactly are they?"

Fluttershy pointed a fore hoof towards the bottle that Fauna had presumed was just an ordinary custom gift for her “They’re all in here… jusssst as you have your basssssket. I too, have my own genie vesssssssel. Inssssside, I’ve created the animal sssssanctuary of my dreamssss… I’m sssssure you’re aware that having one wassss alwayssss my greatesssssst wisssssh. And we will go in together to sssssssee it sssssoon...

But firsssst, let’sssss take care of one of your other questionsssss… I knew that among many of your fantassssssiessssss about ssssnakes, BEING the ssssnake must certainly be one that issss on the top of your lissssst. As I wassss being transssssformed into a genie, one of the many thoughtssss in my head was the sssssshapesssssshifting I could perform to become any animal or part of nature I wanted to be at will. I’m ssssure you’ll have your own fun with thissss power, trying all sssssorts of animal formssss, but of courssssse you will have your favoritessss. So yessss, you can now transssssform into a ssssnake pony any time you desssssire it…

If you want to experience the full sssssize tail, you’ll have to come back down and briefly gain all four hoovessss’ again. Don’t worry. It’s actually quite easy to become a full pony again. Jussssst tug at your sssssmoky tail a bit and disssssconnect it from your bassssket, then float yoursssself down and envissssion your genie tail reforming into your hindlegssss and pony tail once more…" 

Fauna's eyes sparkled "You're telling me that you've made your animal sanctuary!? Oh Fluttershy, that's wonderful!" She takes a look at the bottle and scratches her head "Forgive me though, it's all in there? Huh I guess even with being a genie now, magic still flummoxes me." She said with a giggle. Fauna was taking this change rather well, she was concerned on how to harness this power but the promise of what she could do took priority in her mind.

"Ok… so just tug and… focus.... nngh" It takes her a moment to picture reforming her legs like Fluttershy had told her. It did work! ...however she also face planted right out of her basket upon breaking free. "Ahahah… I'm alright! Ooh… this takes some getting used to." She says as she picks herself up, she can now see that her cutie mark changed along with her hindlegs having the same veiled attire as her face and forelegs "Woah! What happened to my cutie mark? It's… it's a snake now...?"

Fluttershy nods “Mmhmm, don’t worry. That’sssss completely normal, if you take a closssser look at my bottle, my cutie mark is now sssslightly different than it ussssed to be too. Insssstead of it jusssst being the 3 butterfliessss. The butterfliessss are either being brought into or emerging out of a vesssssssel. It sssstill generally means the ssssame thing as your old mark, but there’ssss a nice genie twisssssst involved now.

And now that you’re in full form again, you may now try to change yoursssself. Just as you focussssed to get yoursssself dissssconnected from your bassssket, now you need to envissssion your back half merging together, lengthening, sssstrengthening your lower half with all new musclessss allowing you to ssssslither acrosssss the ground, and however many other featuressss you want to have. Do you want to have the exact ssssame featuressss I do? Or do you want to go a little different, like a rattle at the end of your tail, maybe you’d like a cobra hood, not to mention the patternssss you could go with. The choice issss completely yourssss, if you’ve ever deeply thought of what you’d look like if you were a ssssnake. You can bring to life every. little. detail~.”

"I suppose that makes sense. My cutie mark is still animal themed, I guess it's just now matching which animal I love the most." She says with a soft smile. "It's still going to take some getting used to though! Same with going in and out of the basket… I hope it feels as good as it did the first time"

Listening to all of these options for potential snake parts almost makes Fauna's head spin. A whole new world had just opened up to her. It was a bit terrifying, yet exciting all at the same time. She takes a deep breath and concentrates "Ok… ok give me a moment to think '' Her body begins to levitate and stretch, she thinks hard about the snake anatomy that she's most fond of. Her body continues to grow until it matches Fluttershy's in length and size. Her tail takes on a striped appearance, a mix of dark and light versions of her fur. A cobra-like hood flaps out from the side of her head, taking on the same brown color as her eyes  with an orange pattern on the hood. She lets out a sigh as the transformation finishes, her teeth now sporting long fangs and when her eyes opened, the irises were more like thin slits. She looked down and marveled at herself 

"I… I did it. I look… ssssssspectacular! Thisssss sssssserpentine body thesssssse fangsssss! Oh Fluttersssssshy! Thissssss isssss incredible! Pleassssse tell me thisssss issssn't a dream!"

Fluttershy giggles “Well, you can bite yourssssself to make ssssure if you want~. Though you sssshouldn’t need to.”

Fluttershy then approaches to hug Fauna with her forehooves, both as a friendly act, and to prepare them for her next act. “Are you ready to ssssee the ssssanctuary, Dr. Faunbra?~” Fluttershy chuckles and smiles a bit after mentioning something of an affectionate nickname for the doctor’s new form.

Dr. Fauna was indeed going to give herself a test bite to confirm what was happening was real before Fluttershy stopped her. Seems she's taken on a bit of a more silly persona after having transformed. "Ahahaha, you got me..." She's surprised by the sudden new nickname, but she gives a smile. "Dr. Faunbra… huh… I like it!" She returns the hug "I'm more than ready Flutterssssssnake~!"

Fluttershy makes sure her entire tail is coiled around Fauna’s own, for the both of them it was like they were being comfortably hugged tight in multiple areas of their body at once “Then let’sssss goooooooo!” Fluttershy gently bends herself and Dr. Fauna backwards while spinning them around as the butterfly shaped topper lifts off her vessel and both her and Dr. Fauna go in head first. 

Their pony halves quickly are brought into the vessel only leaving the swirling snake tails. Despite there being so much mass between the two tails, the bottle has no problem absorbing the two together. For the vessel, they were just two big noodles being slurped up together. The length at least promised it took a little longer than the average entrance into a vessel, but gradually the tails are brought ever so slowly in. 

Some muffled murmurs of moans from the two mares could be heard as their tails were sucked in. It’s not long before the two intertwined tails are vertically above the bottle as they swirl together like a candy mixer from Sugarcube Corner into the vessel until even the very tips of their tails are brought in. With the topper of the vessel sealing in the two snake pony genies together... 

Fauna's head was spinning as she entered the bottle. It felt even BETTER going in with somepony else! When she finally opened her eyes, what met them was a vast landscape, filled with perfect environments for each of Fluttershy's animals. It was unlike anything Fauna had seen in the natural world. She wasn't even sure how far it expanded but it was already clear that the bottle's interior was not limited to the size on the outside "Incredible… abssssolutely incredible! All of your animalssssss are here ssssafe and ssssssound! And their homessssss are perfectly attuned to their needsssssss!" She marveled at the beautiful sanctuary Fluttershy had created, there were pristine waterfalls, open air, a light source similar to natural sunlight. It was a perfect oasis in Dr. Fauna's eyes, it nearly brought her to tears. "They all look ssssso happy and healthy. But they're not geniesssss too right? How did they get in?"

Fluttershy shakes her head “Our vesssssels are fully capable of bringing in other living beingssss without genifying them. It doessss require a bit of a different method then us geniessss, but it workssss just fine. I ssssimply sssshrunk them until they could be gently placed into the vessssssel. Only ssssmaller animals such as insssectsss, mice, and ssssome amphibianssss don’t necessssssarily need to be sssshrunken to fit in. If you ever want to invite another pony into your vessssssel though, I recommend genifying them beforehand”

As Fluttershy and Fauna look over at the sanctuary together, a green snake slithers towards the two ponies. It’s none other than Fluttershy’s pet snake Antoine, who rubs a little against the end of Fauna’s tail before slithering up the vet’s long tail. It tickles the veterinarian as he travels across her extended body, he coils his tail around Fauna’s chest, until he comes at a rest on Fauna’s shoulders. Antoine flicked his tail affectionately for the doctor.

Fluttershy giggles “It sssseemssss Antoine has found hissss queen!” 

"Oooh good to know it's ssssssafe. I wouldn't want to caussssse undue ssssstressss. I could make my vesssssel into a second office! Or....a paradisssse for my ssssssnake form~" Fauna chuckles.

She gives a smile to Antoine and affectionately nuzzles him "Sssssso good to sssssee you healthy, Antoine! Resssst as much as you like there." Something Fluttershy says about turning ponies into genies resonates with her. "I… I can change otherssssss like you changed me?" She thinks on it for a moment. The question of "Why do I need to change them?" pops into her head, yet at the same time, she feels an urge to spread the feeling she got to others, negating that question "Yessss, yessss! Why ssssshould we be the only onesssss to enjoy thisssss?"

“Now that’s the sssspirit! You musssst be eager to be the one on the other sssside from our fun earlier. Sssshow off your ssssnake form for everypony to ssssee, and those who are as into ssssnakes as you are will be sssssure to follow~. Though if you do need a little persssssuassssion from time to time…” Fluttershy’s eyes briefly turn into spirals again though only visually. “You can alwaysssss do thisssss~”

"Of coursssssse! I've got a few friendsssss who I know that would love thissssss just as much as we do~!" She gives a wide grin. Fauna looks deep into Fluttershy's gaze, unlike before though, she's not in a trance. Rather, she is more confident than ever, her own eyes swirling in a way similar to Fluttershy's "Heheheh yesssss, nothing wrong with a little persssssuasssion~! I'm ssssssure you'll love the resssssultsssss!" She leans in to give Fluttershy another hug

"But before all that, I sssssstill need to check up on your animalsssssss and explore more of your beautiful ssssssanctuary!"

“I guess we could start talking about why that may be together, Starlight. Let’s go through who you’ve genified so far and maybe you’ll come to an understanding why.” Fluttershy suggested

“I see… well, obviously you already know who was my first genification. You were there just as her transformation was finishing! Trixie, my lovely mare friend.” Starlight closed an eye and put a hoof over her heart

“I still have yet to meet Trixie as a genie, but I promise I believe you that you two are truly in love. I must ask however, if you’d love her less if she wasn’t so willing to help with your plan. I know obviously that wasn’t the case of all, and she happily accepted being your second-in-command for this. But say that she simply wanted to enjoy herself as a genie and didn’t want to help spread this to others. Would you really love her the same way?” Fluttershy asked

“Huh…? Wha…? O… of course I’d still love her! Are you…. insinuating that my love for her is purely based on my goals?!” Starlight reacted a bit angry at the accusation

“No, that’s not what I’m saying at all. Obviously you would still love her, but my question is if in the long run you’d respect her wishes to keep out of what others may feel is a major conflict. Cause I mean... no offense to you Starlight, but the way you’re approaching this plan… is very militaristic and authoritarian. Spreading your fellow genies to take over the entire north part of the territory, invading cities. And then comes the occupation, where either the ponies are transformed into genies eventually or they go into hiding. The only exceptions of course are my friends, who are themselves part of a game you’re putting them through for your own entertainment. The way you’ve turned this into a conflict brings us into a deep divide, you wouldn’t eventually accuse Trixie of not being on your side if she didn’t want to contribute to this?” Fluttershy crosses her hooves

“A… conflict? You think I’ve started some kind of war?! This is no war! I’m spreading geniequality to Equestria! No one is dying, quite the opposite. They’re becoming immortal! Those who go into hiding or otherwise want to avoid genification just simply don’t understand yet…” Starlight huffs

“If this is no war, then remind me of what came about after you genified Trixie…” Fluttershy raised an eyebrow suspiciously

“Well… me and Trixie went to Our Town and started genifying ponies there… then we took over the Crystal Empire… so that we could have the army fo-“ Starlight then realizes that maybe Fluttershy isn’t so wrong.

“F-fine, I see your point… but even if this is a conflict. Do you see any real casualties? Is there any real damage to Equestria? What I want to spread across Equestria will make us greater than we could ever dream of!”

“Starlight, it’s not the country I’m concerned about. It’s how those who aren’t genies perceive us, your methods make us seem like an enemy. I do agree with you in a sense that genification works for every pony regardless of who they are. You are correct that this is an equalizer that actually works compared to your cutie mark stealing days. 

But I would like their moment of genification to be a more comfortable experience, even better if they’re more willing to the experience rather than just pulling them into vessels right away, while they’re still afraid of you. Do you understand me on that?” Fluttershy sternly stared

“But… Fluttershy… that all changes the moment they feel their bodies enter their vessel! Sure they’re scared before that happens, but they come to realize how great it feels and any concern they have washes away once they’re genies, and released amongst their friends and family. What difference does making ponies more comfortable or willing when they’re transformed then what I’m doing if it all ends the same? I’m not forever mentally scarring any ponies…”

“Maybe so, but wouldn’t it be better if they weren’t trying to run away? Or if we were nicer to them prior to making them into genies?”

Starlight rolled her eyes “Ugh, again why does it matter?! What use is just being all friendly with every pony if for the most part I’m improving their lives to a point where they thank me enough for that. Wait… you’re the element of Kindness. Are you doing some sort of corny thing trying to teach me kindness? Ha! Please… I’m already doing plenty of kindness for all of Equestria!”

“Starlight, just think for a moment. Perhaps from a certain point of view you are being kind by turning ponies into genies, but can you think of a time you did something for some pony that you didn’t get in return? Even in the case of Trixie, genifying someone you love, you got something out of it. A right-hand mare to assist you in your goals. Genifying every pony afterward was either to assist you on your four-pronged invasion or related to a personal revenge of yours. And now with this game you’ve started with my friends, when you get the chance to genify another of them. that’s also partly in revenge for stopping you back in Our Town, not just wanting to share the ideal of genie hood to us. You don’t see genification as just a way to help ponies, you still have selfish reasons for doing this. There’s a part of you that’s still doing this more for yourself rather then for the sake of others”

Starlight was getting frustrated “Grrr…. so what! Even if so, more ponies will be thanking me afterward. And when everypony’s a genie then we will live happily ever after!”

“…Starlight, besides Trixie. Do you have any real friends?” Fluttershy asked bluntly

Starlight looks offended “W-w-what?! OF COURSE I DO! I became friends with Sunburst, or rather Sunstone, again when I genified him/her, I gave them what even Celestia’s school couldn’t! And then there’s Tempest! I restored her horn, and showed her the Storm King’s true colors! She owes her life to me, practically! How dare you suppose I have no real friends! What about you? Your friends almost abandoned you just because you were a genie now, they tried to replace you with that flower pony mere moments after you were transformed. If I don’t have any real friends, maybe you don’t either! The only thing truly binding you with the others are those Elements of Harmony, but once they become useless... you’re as expendable as a stranger to them!”

Fluttershy shakes her head “That’s not true, and you know it…”

“Do I, really? Regardless, it’s not any more true or false than your accusations about me, I can tell you that! Hmmmph… if it weren’t for the fact we are of equal power, I’d just shut you up and/or leave. I'd rather not be lectured about how I’m doing things. I won’t risk fighting you, as that’ll only make things worse. 

But it does give me some concern about you, say you’ve finally genified every pony you wanted to genify. What are you going to do then? You’re not going to challenge me and try to use your “kinder” way of genifying ponies to rebel against my more loyal genies are you? It’d be ironic after your earlier accusation of me starting conflict if you start a civil war between us…” Starlight turns her back toward Fluttershy

Fluttershy shakes her head “No, I have no intention of beginning any kind of rebellion even when I’m done genifying. I won’t get in the way of how you want to do things, but I’m heavily suggesting you take my advice and tone down your current methods. Trust me when I say it’d pay off much better then what you’re doing now. Because what happens when every pony is genified but the only ponies you’re real close to is Trixie, and even if you add Sunburst and Tempest… it might not truly be enough.”

“Ha! Like I care… those three are all I need! Heck, I'd be fine if when all of Equestria is genified. It’s just me and Trixie together, I don’t need anypony else. When everyone’s a genie I’d leave them to do whatever they want, even if that includes never seeing me again!” Starlight insisted, though she had a nervous sweat as she stated this

“Starlight, have you forgotten that I saw Our Town when you were still its leader? If you were truly not doing your previous plan for some selfish reason. You’d have given up your cutie mark along with the others, or at least tried to. Maybe you did try, but noticed it would lead to a loss of magic you didn’t want to let go… but I have this strange feeling you never actually did. You wanted to maintain your power so that you could eventually expand your ideology past that small town. You wanted to be the leader of this so-called utopia, and that hasn’t changed despite having a much more improved way of reaching your goal. 

You want others to see you as a leader, but to be the leader you want to be. You must make friends. The way you’re doing things now only works from a dictator’s point of view, where their only friends are their inner circle, and even then… suspicions arise in such a scenario. And this wouldn’t even be a normal dictator situation, usually the dictator would indeed have the power to rule by fear. But as you genify more, you’re a self-proclaimed leader of a nation that has no reason to fear you because every pony will be able to do what you can too.

You’re only eventually leading yourself into a world where yes, they’ll thank you for bringing every pony into a world where they can do anything and be with their friends and family without the worry of death. But will they actually consider you a friend? And if you tried forcing your way into their friend circles, you’d only get pushback. And regardless of your genie power, they would have the same powers. With your aforementioned dreams of being a leader, what is a leader with few friends and a citizenry with no obligations to said leader. They’d hardly be a leader at all. You’ll have this genified world that would be all because of you, but you won’t have the spoils you want out of it. You can try and tell yourself that all you want is the genified world. But you’d only be lying to yourself”

“Tch…” Starlight stepped back, she was surprised Fluttershy had just about gotten her spot on. “Ugh… but… getting to know every pony would take way too long. I can’t just willy nilly find out what would soothe every individual pony into accepting genification… that’d take way too long… it’s frankly… just easier for me to stuff them into a bottle, get a thanks from them and I don’t have to bother too much more with them. I don’t necessarily need to be friends with every pony… but… I guess you have it right that I seek… constant praise and admiration in this genie utopia I want to rule… I suppose I got some of that from the Crystal Ponies… heck, they even built a statue in my honor… but… I get that’s not exactly friendship… is it?”

Fluttershy’s a bit surprised she’s already got Starlight genuinely responding rather than shutting her out. Perhaps it’s partly because Starlight can’t do anything about her, but she still sees it as a positive sign. “Yeah, the Crystal Ponies honoring you the way they have shouldn’t be considered friendship just yet. You just came to them as a great hero that defeated the Storm King, showing them there was nothing to fear ever again. It’s praise for who they see as a hero, but they haven’t come to know the hero personally. They’re only admiring you for what you did, not for who you are. And I get that you don’t have the time to spend with each and every pony of Equestria. I’m not saying you should spend a day with every single pony to get to know them before genifying them. I also don’t expect you to change your tactics so soon, I’m just saying at some point… I want you to take heed of what I say, and consider applying it in the future. 

I won’t stop you from using the more forceful tactics that you’re more comfortable with, but I want an opportunity to speak with you on occasion. We’re going to be genies for eternity, so I want to get to know you. We can become friends ourselves if you’re willing to work for it.” Fluttershy gives a gentle smile as she tries to welcome the idea of a friendship with her.

Starlight thinks this over, she first raises an eyebrow. “How… can I really trust you, though? If you can see right through me like this, then I might as well just say my past experiences with friendship… never lasted…”

“Trust takes time and communication, and I’m not saying that you need to spend time with me all the time”

“Heh, I was going to ask if this meant having to be there for every one of your tea parties or something… that’d be a bit silly…” Starlight chuckled

Fluttershy chuckles as well “Well, I wouldn’t be opposed if you really wanted to! But it’s not a necessity. I do however have something that may help a lot, do you remember when I pulled out the program called DisChaos. The same one I used to contact Discord?”

Starlight nodded though looked down a bit awkwardly “I do… though I mostly remember being scared of having to confront Discord more than anything… that made me so retroactively glad you were the first one of your friends genified. My plans may have already been foiled if any other result happened…”

“Hehe, probably. But all I’m doing now is offering to give you an account. I’ll let you sign up, then you can briefly close it, before testing it out inside your lamp while I remain out here. Does that like a plan?” Fluttershy smiles

“Uh… sure. I suppose… can you remind me what this is supposed to do? I admit I wasn’t paying much attention back when you first showed it since I was more focused on what I was going to do about Discord…” Starlight admitted

“Sure! It’s actually really simple…”

Fluttershy takes some time to explain much of how DisChaos works to Starlight. As soon as Starlight gets a full understanding, she is instantly intrigued and knows plenty of ways she could use this to her advantage.

Starlight smirks “This… sounds absolutely splendid, Fluttershy! I’d most certainly love an account of my own… will I have permission to give any pony who wants one an account too?”

Fluttershy nods “Of course! I actually encourage you to use this to keep in touch with as many of those you know as possible. I know with genie magic you could just teleport to where they are. But popping in on your friends like that can be rude if they’re not expecting it, the convenience of long-distance communication at least allows you to tell them beforehand that you’re coming. And I’ve already told you while explaining it you can still use it even from within your vessel

In fact, let’s just get you set up, and then you can try it out for the first time!”

Fluttershy raises a hoof with a pink glow, a screen pops out and a login screen floats.

“Ok Starlight, give the screen your magical signature as well as enter your name through the magic typewriter in front of you. And your account will be activated!”

Starlight listens to Fluttershy’s instructions “Alright, what now…”

“You don’t have to do it right this second, but you can customize your avatar to be whatever you’d like to take a photo of sorts. Whether it’s your face or something else, you can also tell it to display your genie mark, if that’d be preferable. Otherwise, I think you’re free to test things out. I could pull out my screen and just have us type to each other right here, but it might be a little weird to communicate via DisChaos when we’re literally in the same room and able to hear each other. Which is why I suggest you try going back into your lamp, and then we’ll use DisChaos to type messages to each other then.”

Starlight nods “Ok, so I guess I close DisChaos until I’m back in my lamp then?”

“Mhmm, all you need to do is click the x in the corner and the window will get sucked into your horn.”

Starlight does as told, and the entire screen warps and stretches into the point of Starlight’s horn. A rather weird sensation felt that wasn’t painful, but nonetheless a feeling Starlight feels like she’ll have to get used to. Her eyes go a bit dizzy as she recovers from the program entering her head. She soon shakes her head, and is back to normal.

“Alright, Fluttershy. I guess I’ll be headed back to the lamp then… anything else I need to do once I’m back inside?” Starlight asked

Fluttershy shakes her head “Actually, most of what will need to be done will be from my side. Once you’re slipping in, I’ll activate my own account and send you a friend request. All you’ll need to do is accept it, and we’ll be able to type messages to one another. Then we shall be able to contact each other through it at any moment at any time. That is unless for any reason you decide to block me, heh”

“Wait, blocking? What does that mean?” Starlight inquired

“If you don’t want to be contacted or find some pony too annoying, you can make sure they cannot send you messages on DisChaos. You will not be able to receive messages from them, and when public chatrooms are added, their messages will be hidden if you are in the same room as some pony who blocked you”

Starlight felt conflicted about that “Oh… I’ll admit I’m actually a little disappointed with that. I was hoping if I can get in contact with your friends on it, I’d have a long distance method of messing with them. If they can just silence me on it though, I suppose there’s no point. Oh well, I guess just seeing their faces as I do some mischief is a little more satisfying anyway.”

Fluttershy shakes her head. “No one likes to be messaged by ponies they don’t like. It’s a necessary thing, it’s why I want to help you become a little more likable. It does Geniequestria no favors if the very pony who started this movement turns more people off then it does bring them in''

Starlight grumbles “What are you talking about?! Ponies like me just fine! I had just about all the Crystal Empire standing attention, before they were even genified! You even saw some of them! They followed my orders to help surround you girls! AND I SAVED THEM FROM THE STORM KING SINGLE HANDEDLY!”

Fluttershy raised an eyebrow, stood her ground and just about stared in Starlight's face asserting herself “Starlight, ponies you convinced with an oratory speech and/or regard you as a hero are not necessarily a friend. This goes back to what I said about dictators: ponies can like you as a leader, but can have a different opinion about you as an individual if they actually got to know you personally. A speech to a crowd is different from talking with individuals. And I’ll also say it again, they’ll have no reason to fear you, and you can’t do anything about them. They like you because you gave them so much power, but they’re not obligated to be your friend. 

If they chose to follow your orders it’s because they believe in the Geniequestria cause, it’s not all for you. There’s a bit of irony here, you may enjoy flaunting your power in front of the ponies who aren’t genies. But the more ponies that are genies, the more the extraordinary becomes the new normal. Granted, it’s not a bad new normal, but how can you really claim to be the leader of a world where every pony can do the same things you can do. There’s hardly any reason for a government in such a world.

It could be argued your followers are seeking a world where they help give their friends and family a world they never have to worry about the inevitabilities of life. They may still thank you for genifying them, and even put you on a pedestal with art pieces dedicated to you. But you won’t have any power over them. Outside of Trixie, you may very well be more isolated from every pony else once the goal is reached. Because what is your end goal once Geniequality has been achieved? If you expect to be leader of this genie world like you were of Our Town. You may find yourself for a rude awakening. There will be no one to conquer, no one to convert to the cause, and your claim to others that every pony could be what they want to be may backfire if you attempt to lord over every pony else, not to mention make you look hypocritical. You’ll be stuck in a tight space, Starlight. And I don’t mean the spout of your lamp.”

Starlight just floated there in stunned silence (“Grrr… as more time goes by I’m not sure choosing to genify the Elements one by one was the best decision… even with the ABSOLUTE 1 out of 6 chance that was favorable to Geniequestria… they feel like a thorn in my side.”) Starlight begins to admit that Fluttershy was completely right that this is a bit of a double-edged sword. Once they’re genies, they’re not obligated to listen to her and view her as their leader. 

But if she doesn’t genify ponies, then it’s contradictory to her goals of Geniequality. Perhaps Starlight was too encouraged by the results of genifying the Crystal Empire, thinking every pony would fall in line like they did. She did and will always have Trixie. Sunstone and Tempest were also quite willing, and Celestia and Luna didn’t seem to mind listening to Starlight either. Is it that maybe that the Elements of Harmony have this annoying resistance to being inclined to listen to her that’s exclusive to them? Whatever it is, Starlight doesn’t want to cross with Fluttershy. So she might as well continue to take her offer up about DisChaos.

That said, she also can’t make it seem like Fluttershy’s won this debate, as much as internally Starlight feel like Fluttershy has a point. But Starlight fills herself up with pride as she takes a big breath, before responding.

“Hmmmph, well… thank you for your… views on the matter, Fluttershy. I’ll be sure to think about what you’ve said, but I think we both know we need a little more time as genies to understand things before we draw a conclusion here. Who knows how every pony will feel once geniequality is achieved, maybe the majority will feel I deserve credit for starting this whole movement and let me be the leader as long as I promise not to get in the way of other’s genie magic.. I can be a fair leader, everyone’s vessels is their own private area while the world at large is a public canvas to shape it in the way everyone is most comfortable with. I only wish to help give everyone a… direction. I have no intention of bossing others on how to be their genie selves.

Though I should also say that because geniequality is a double edged sword, I can’t do anything about others. But the reverse is also true, no pony can do much to me. Not like I intend on fighting any fellow genies outside of playful magic duels, as that would be foolish. But you get the idea, let’s see how things play out a little longer Fluttershy before we decide to proceed.

To Starlight’s surprise, Fluttershy actually nods and agrees. “Certainly, more time will definitely be appreciated. Let’s see how the general populace feels as more and more of them become genies, get to know you, and eventually decide if we agree to give you the leadership position you desire. Or maybe,,, you will have changed your mind on how to approach Geniequestria after you’ve gotten to know me and the others as they become genies over time, how about that?”

Starlight rolls her eyes. “Sure, sure… whatever, I wouldn’t be so sure that I’ll change just like that. But enough talk, let’s just get this DisChaos thing over with. Shall we?”

Starlight takes a deep breath, focuses, and then slips herself into the lamp. Not too fast, but also not too slow. A gentle moan comes out of her lips as she warps inside her lamp. A satisfying schoomp sounds out as Starlight completely enters, the lamp slightly rattling.

Fluttershy then proceeds to open her own screen and sends a friend request to Starlight. The lilac pony genie inside the lamp opening the program from within the living room of the mansion-esque interior of her lamp. She can see a red circle with the number 1 on it and can see Fluttershy’s avatar. She then accepts Fluttershy’s request, and could now speak to each other through the program.

<Fluttershy> Welcome to DisChaos, Starlight!

<Starlight> Nice! It seems to be working perfectly, but is there really much else you need to tell me now that we know it works

<Fluttershy> Admittedly, not a whole lot that I haven’t already told you while we talked out here. But maybe I can at least ask for your first impression?

<Starlight> It seems… straight forward enough. Maybe a little bare bones at the moment since messaging ponies personally is all it can do right now. But I know you mentioned while explaining that eventually Discord will add the ability to create “Servers” that will allow people to join and talk even with those they have not friended yet, right?

<Fluttershy> Mmhmm, also technically you can also get multiple ponies in one DM already but again that’s with friends only. I will at least tell you that Discord will soon allow me to test out a sort of live streaming capability. I plan to record and show you my very next genification. And maybe make that a regular thing as I genify the ponies I want to get!

<Starlight> Oooo yes! I would love that, Fluttershy! Can you give me any hints as to who you plan to genify next?

<Fluttershy> I have a really good friend of mine who’s a veterinarian I really want to genify. I’m sure that she will be quite… sssssssatisfied  

Fluttershy puts a symbol next to her text that looks like a cute little snake next to her words

<Starlight> Don’t know what you mean by the snake, but I’ll be looking forward to it. Whatever happens.

<Fluttershy> You’ll find out~. But for now, that’s all I have for you today. You can go back and rest now if you’d like, sorry if I interrupted your time of rest rather rudely.

<Starlight> Eeeeh, I guess it’s ok… it was a kind of important conversation to have. Thank you for coming by and showing me DisChaos, Fluttershy. I’ll always be delighted when you share the love for genie hood and willingly growing Geniequestria with me.

<Fluttershy> Of course! I will still say I thank you very much for genifying me in the first place, though please remember… I’m not done yet with asking you to tone down your more forceful methods. The faster you realize how detrimental your current methods are to your overall goal, the better.

Starlight just frowns and shakes her head. Almost not even sure how to respond, or even if she should respond.

<Starlight> …Yeah, yeah. I need kindness, and should get to know ponies. I should have known that even after genifying you, the cheesy lectures you and your friends always do were going to stay… but like I said out there. Don’t be so sure I’ll just change on a dime. You may just be surprised how much things work out for me, after all. Ta ta for now, Fluttershy. I’ll be sure to see you again, both on here... and I can’t imagine this will be our last meeting face-to-face either.

<Fluttershy> It most certainly won’t, I assure you.

Both Fluttershy and Starlight close DisChaos. Fluttershy walks out of the hospital, while Starlight goes back to the bedroom in her lamp. She does think over for some time what Fluttershy said to her. But she soon shuts her eyes, and falls asleep once more.

MAIN STORY

START FROM THE BEGINNING

PREVIOUS

Fluttershy nods. "I already know you still believe in our friendship, Rarity.  And I think deep down the others do too,

I don't think even Applejack would ever treat me the way Starswirl did to poor Meadowbrook. She'll obviously be the most hardened against the idea of a Geniequestria, but I know she is just concerned about my well-being in the same way as when I was a batpony. 

Twilight also sees much of this as a mistake she caused that must be fixed, but I wanted to help her see there's silver linings. And that was why I offered to bring back Golden Oaks to her.

Rainbow is a little similar to Applejack, although I think she'd still be willing to talk with me more often. Since she's known me the longest. Though uh... I guess maybe she'll be a little peeved if my brother-turned-sister Aura Winds starts bothering her...

And Pinkie blames herself in a similar way to Twilight, though in a more specific case for just my genification. I do feel bad for her that she's still in such a depressive state. I hope there comes a day she'll be her peppy self again.”

Fluttershy was clearly well aware of everyone's position in regards to their feelings for her. Rarity was shocked to hear such an astute analysis of the group at that moment.

What slipped Rarity up was the mention of Fluttershy having already gotten to her brother. "Aura Winds...? Wait, you're referring to Zephyr? You went after your own family?" She gasped (“Admittedly...that might be for the best given Zephyr from what I hear was kind of a mess… perhaps, the change balanced them out? But… going after family… w-would I go after Sweetie Belle?”) The thought filled her with conflicting feelings.

Fluttershy nods to confirm that her family is among the genies now. "Indeed, Zephyr Breeze has become Aura Winds. She's still a little too full of herself, but she can actually do just about anything well as opposed to before!

And after that, we both worked together to bottle our parents. My father-turned-mother on the other hoof didn't change her name outside of the last name, Gentle Breeze simply changed to Gentle Wind

They are the only ones I've genified so far though. But I do have plans for a few friends of mine. I have an.... interessssssssting idea in mind for Dr. Fauna, hehe" She giggles after mimicking a snake-esque talk, her eyes even turning slit like a snake briefly before forming back to normal. 

Hearing Fluttershy tell her about her plans on who to genify next sent a chill through Rarity. It was as if she was fully confident that they wouldn't even try to stop her. It was this part of Fluttershy's budding genie persona that concerned her. (“She never used to talk like this… is that because of the change? Will I be like that when I… er if, I change? Did I never really know the true Fluttershy until now?”) This thought saddened her, to question years of their friendship after just saying she still believed in it, hurt. 

Fluttershy continued, this time with an observation on Rarity herself “As for you though... I may not be the Element of Honesty.  But... I can tell you're a bit shaky when you say you have ‘opposing views’. Your eyes were glued while your cheeks flushed pink every time you saw some pony either being genified, or emerging out. While everypony else tried to look away or didn’t bat an eye on what was happening.

Even now, I know you're eyeing my attire... I've seen that look in your face before, whenever you found clothing that inspires something within you. Your eyes shine just as they are doing now. Go on ahead, Rarity, say everything on your mind about my and/or others genie attire. Let your fashionista instincts guide your thoughts, and tell me everything that interests you~" 

Her thoughts are broken at the mention of the analysis Fluttershy gave about her. How her views aren't as 'opposing' as she claims. How she knew what Rarity was doing each time she saw somepony get genified. Rarity winces, as if Fluttershy hit a weak spot. 

(“S-she noticed?! Oh dear…”) Rarity gulped, it was as if her throat became very dry at that moment. "Ack! I..I.. can you blame me, darling? I was in shock! Each time it's different and… and I can't tear my eyes away! It's… it's a reminder, to never lose sight of what we're trying to fix!" She lied 

As Rarity tries to cover up her tracks, Fluttershy  crosses her hooves and lifts an eyebrow unconvinced of the fashionista's words.

"D-despite our views, I cannot let my mind be closed from new ideas for fashion! So o-of course I see the potential in your clothing! The colors, the veils, it's such a glorious look! But I know I could improve them even more!" She got more confident as she spoke.

Once the subject changed to Rarity's thoughts on the attire though, she smiles. "You should write and/or draw everything on your mind down before you forget them, Rarity. I'd love to see what you think would add some more flare to outfits like mine. Here, take this." Fluttershy lifts a hoof and magically poofs up a sketchbook for Rarity to take home. 

The talk of fashion did lift her mood "You forget who I am, darling! Of course I took notes! But..." She's cut off when Fluttershy poofs a sketchbook into existence, unlike her normal sketchbooks, this one was fully genie themed, even down to the cover showing paint brushes in a genie vessel. "Oh my, this is… for me? Th-thank you, Fluttershy. I do hope that you'll come by to model what I create. I know you'd just love it!" 

"But more importantly, I need to know what your true feelings on this whole situation are! Before you were just going along with Starlight's plans… until you weren't. Then you brought Golden Oaks back for Twilight… this whole ordeal has me more confused than ever! ...not only that but seeing that joy on your face as you changed… if we were to find something that undoes all of the genies… would you hate us for it?" 

On asking about Fluttershy's true feelings. Fluttershy tilts her head and frowns a bit "Have I not made it clear enough? I'm only on Starlight's side as it comes to the genification part of the plan. I'm not suddenly a fan of Starlight's personality, motivations, and methods. Though I of course can't just fight her on that, as we're of equal strength. I agree with you girls that Starlight isn't exactly going about this in the right way. Her methods inspire more fear than it should, she needs to be gentle, she needs to be more considerate, she needs to know kindness. 

Where I differ from our other friends, is whether or not if she should stay a genie in the aftermath. And that goes for all the other genies too. If Twilight does manage to find something that can just reverse all genifications at once... I know she'd use it before I even get a chance to reply as of right now, but I hope I have enough time before then to at least make my case where she’d have some doubt that returning us to normal in such a fashion is the right thing to do. You saw what happened to Sugar Belle when we briefly freed her. The thought of a good portion of Equestria being like that has to be worrisome no matter how you feel about me and the other genies." 

Rarity shakes her head when Fluttershy says that Starlight's methods are wrong "I'm sorry, I know you've already said that before… it's just... while I trust you, I cannot trust her. But you say she needs to understand kindness, on that you and I both agree. But I think she could bother to learn more than that. Dragging all of Equestria into her conflict with us..." (“Even if the genie forms are… spectacular in their own right”) "You mention Sugar Belle when we changed her back… but isn't that a sign something about it is all off? You are right… I don't want to be in a world where they're going through… withdrawal like symptoms. Admittedly, it was terrifying seeing her like that, begging for the power back… like she couldn't function. But that also makes me fear what this power is too. To cause that reaction… I just" she puts a hoof on her forehead. "I just don't know anymore…"

Fluttershy floats on closer, her genie tail circling around Rarity as she floats just above Rarity's left shoulder as she pats her on the back. "I completely understand, Rarity. It looks like something is very off when you haven't been in our shoes yet. 

But remember what Spike said some days ago? He compared Sugar Belle's un-genification to you or Twilight losing your horn. Or to expand on that, can you imagine what Rainbow would be like if she lost her wings for a while? 

Granted, you 3 may not immediately react in the same way Sugar Belle did, as you didn't do so when Discord literally did that to us. But you have to put it into perspective that for us genies, this power inside us feels like more than just a part of our body. There's so much more to it, and it's hard to explain to those who have not felt what it's like yet with just words. Which is probably why Starlight just doesn't bother and forces ponies through the change anyway. 

There's so much that genification enhances, perhaps the best attempt I can do to explain it... is maybe it felt like a part of Sugar Belle's very own soul was missing when we ungenified her if that makes any sense"

Rarity thinks back to when they were up against Discord for the first time, it felt like so long ago now... "Yes, I do remember. I was shocked and livid. I wanted nothing more than to get my horn back. I would have done anything for… oh… I suppose I do see your point..." While she was now understanding where Fluttershy was coming from, it still raised more questions. (“Taking that into account, it's almost as if we're the villains here! But, we're trying to save Equestria as we always have! Return things to normal”) 

The conflicted look on Rarity's face only grew more severe. Her brows furrowed, her hooves fidgeted. The gears in her head were turning but each new thought clashed with another. "It's that forced nature that just gets things all twisted, it's just wrong. Ponies forcing their methods on others and forcing this… I cannot abide by that. Not ever!" (“But...the argument that we've been doing the same thing all these years, is that wrong?”) "Fluttershy, I have to ask. You say that you don't see things eye to eye with Starlight, you've made that quite clear. But what do you feel about what we've done up to this point? And..." 

She stopped, almost as if she were afraid to ask the next question, worried about Fluttershy's feelings as well as what the answer would be. "When you changed, something in you clicked… your transformation, it was more than a physical one. We've had talks before, but I've never heard you speak like you have since becoming a genie. You're different, and I'm not saying that's bad or good, but it's a noticeable difference in your demeanor, how you talk and act… especially when you spoke of your future plans. What I want to know is, was that a part of you that you hid away all this time? Or did it only happen because of the change? I'm sorry if that comes off as if I don't trust you, but I have to know the truth."

Fluttershy actually compassionately understands the idea of this question "I will say I do still trust you girls more than I do Starlight, you're all still my best friends. And I don't hold anything you and the others are trying or will try in the future to reverse things. Just like how I plan to help Starlight see things in a better light, I also hope to help you girls see, especially when one or more of us become genies. The ones still left gradually learn to respect the idea that there's more gray areas then there are explicitly black and white ones" Fluttershy tells Rarity straight, not even saying the word if another of them will be genified.

"W-when more of us become genies? S-surely you mean 'if'... don't you?" Rarity couldn't help but ask as she clearly noticed Fluttershy said it as if she knew the others would be turned eventually. Once again Rarity found herself on the back hoof, it was as if she'd traded her own confidence for Fluttershy's timidness. She gulped nervously, wondering if she's next. Though part of her is excited by the thought, which at the same time makes her question herself again on what she really wants.

"As for my new demeanor... you could say it's a little of both. On one hoof, there's no way I could speak this confidently that quickly before my genification... but... I feel like it didn't just create a new me out of thin air, it feels much more like I've finally unlocked a part of me that I have been working all my life to finally set free. 

You have to remember how I was when you first met me, and our first years as friends when I was as timid as ever. But thanks to you girls, I was working toward becoming more like the pony I wanted to be on a consistent basis. It's been mainly baby steps, and sometimes I relapsed back into my more comfortable introverted tendencies.

I really don't know how long it would have normally taken to get this far. But thanks to the empowerment I've received from being a genie. It's blown away every little insecurity and self-doubt in my mind, near instantly. And it didn't overdo it either, like when I got terrible advice from Iron Will when I berated you and Pinkie... I'm about as confident as I was after Iron Will's sessions, but I have the self-control to apply a more gentle nature when needed and avoid insulting those who don't deserve it" Fluttershy gently smiles. 

As Fluttershy explained her shift in demeanor, it did make more sense to Rarity as well. "So you're saying this is more like a natural conclusion to where you wanted to be? Just sped up because of the transformation then?" (“Could that be why it feels so strange to us? It's almost like she skipped several steps in the process and came to us as somepony we didn't recognize”) The comparison to when she was influenced by Iron Will made it very clear what this 'new' persona was "That does make much more sense, you haven't tried to put us down like you did then. It's also not like when the lot of us were under Discord's influence either. I apologize, Fluttershy. I'm happy you're feeling more confident, it's just the suddenness of this change in you..." She puts her hoof to her chin to think on how to word this properly. 

"Imagine as if it was like we'd all been separated for years only to find that you've become different from what we're used to or remember. Because it was like a switch being flipped in you, it set off alarms in our heads since changes we make to ourselves, we tend not to notice as they feel natural over the progress of time. Whereas the sudden shift comes as a shock to those not in the know. Again, I must reiterate that I'm happy you can be confident and out of your shell. But it will take some adjustment time for all of us."

Fluttershy chooses not to answer Rarity's question on whether she meant to say if another one of their friends are genified. Only giggling a little softly before moving on to the other conversation. Nodding to Rarity's observation.

"That sounds about right, though at the very least that's without the obviously long time of not seeing each other. As it was literally only minutes between my genification and my first emergence.

It does make me curious though... what possibly genification might help you with... 

Maybe you'll never be tired during late night workings, your schedule as flexible as ever... 

Maybe you'll never run into an art block ever again... 

Maybe it'll rest your worries about aging as I imagine eternal youth must be.... tempting. 

Oh, and we can't forget dietary habits... You could make your own and/or eat as much ice cream and sweets you want without gaining a single pound...

I have to imagine a few of these thoughts... or even all of the above have crossed your mind already... but is there more I could be missing?~" 

Rarity doesn't say anything, practically sinking into herself as Fluttershy tells her of all the things becoming a genie could alleviate. Fluttershy isn't wrong on any of those points, though Rarity does feel a bit insulted about the jab at her weight. More thoughts do cross her mind about the possibilities, it looks like she's going to break down and make a wish for any of those things… but instead she stomps a hoof hard on the floor. 

"ENOUGH! I know what you're trying to do here, Fluttershy. You're compelled to make everypony a genie, see things your way, but you of all ponies should know. Even IF I wanted those things, I do not want to take shortcuts and take simple gains for myself. I learned that the hard way when Spike had given me that ancient spellbook some time ago. I lost sight of who I was, and what I was doing." She stands up, as if she's about to leave, her confidence having come back. "If I am to become a genie like you say, it will be on MY terms. Nopony else's, that includes you, Fluttershy. Temptation alone will not sway me, no matter how wondrous it may be to be more like you are now." 

To Rarity's surprise, Fluttershy actually claps for her regaining her confidence and stepping up to her. 

"I wouldn't have it any other way, actually. You should become a genie when you feel the most ready for it.  I'll admit I was just testing you a little, though I suppose if that had been enough to get you to become a genie... it wouldn't have hurt to get it all done already~”

That said, that doesn't mean you can't still at least privately indulge in your not-so-subtle interest in genies until then.”

"A little? Darling, you were laying it on quite thick… this is that new part of you that I said the rest of us will need some... adjusting to." She keeps standing, but no longer looks like she's about to rush out of Fluttershy's home. The mention of still privately enjoying her interest in genies causes her to raise an eyebrow. "What are you getting at?"

“Well first, do you remember Discord's magical social program from earlier? One thing I wanted to potentially try asking you for this talk... is if you'd like to give it a shot with your own account. We'll only start with me and you in private messaging, but if more ponies show up on the service you can ask to friend them later. 

Eventually, Discord will add the ability to have full-on ‘servers’ anypony can create where multiple ponies can hang out and chat, even those not on your friend list. Where we can all talk about many things together from anywhere in Equestria." She winks "And it doesn't lose connection when inside a vessel if you're curious about that, hehe" 

As Fluttershy explains Discord's magical social service,  Rarity's mood brightens at the prospect here. "If only he could have introduced that in a less dire time. But now that is a wonderful way to keep in contact with everypony! I could even use it to keep in contact with all my clients!" She pauses and gets a bit skeptical "Wait… I don't need to be a genie to use it right? This is just so we can speak without needing to always be near each other? I can access it with my magic? And what does that have to do with what you said a moment ago about my 'private interests'?"

"Nope, you're perfectly able to use it while you're not a genie. Both me and Princess Celestia were among Discord's first ‘beta’ testers before we became genies. Although. being a genie does make it a tad easier at least for me… as before, I needed a special bracelet to use it. Whereas any unicorn or alicorn can activate it with their horns.

But as for your private interests... we'll get to that soon. Let's just get you that account" Fluttershy lifts a hoof up, closes her eyes, and focuses. A rectangular magical screen pops up and enlarges in size. On the screen was a login screen with two white skinny rectangle bars asking for a Name. And either a magical signature, or a password depending on whether the pony was using a bracelet or not.

"Go ahead Rarity, enter your name and send some samples of your magic into the screen so it can recognize you. Only you will be able to access your account, not even changelings can copy your magical signature in the same exact way"

"I see..." Unlike earlier when Fluttershy was trying to tempt her with genification, there's no extra giggles, no sense that this is a trick of some kind which puts Rarity at ease. Her horn flickers as she inputs her data followed by some bits of her magic. "I must say, Discord did a fine job with this!" The screen in front of her shows a small spinning circle as it takes this information, not long after, Rarity's met with a welcome splash screen that says in Discord's voice

 <Welcome to DisChaos! I certainly hope you have a chaotic time here!>

Soon enough, Rarity is now on the service without an issue, her profile picture is a generic looking blank pony face. She tilts her head "So… what do I do now? How do I make this more… personalized? And how do I go about adding you there?"

"Click your default blank pony icon, it should give you an option to view your profile and then change your icon. Then, DisChaos will ask whether you want to make your avatar a portrait photograph of yourself. 

Or if you want to be a little more creative and represent yourself with something else to represent you. You can do that too.

There's also a 3rd option for you to simply have your Cutie Mark be your icon if neither of the other two options work out for you. Your cutie mark is already memorized by the program when you enter your magical signature. 

You won't need to uh... literally take a picture of your flank to do that a heh heh heh..." Fluttershy blushes a little imagining how awkward that might have been for ponies who wanted their cutie marks as their avatars.

"As for adding me, that should be simple. I'll just send you a friend request myself" Fluttershy pulls up her own screen and in an option that says "Add friend" Fluttershy types in Rarity's name.  Next to Rarity's name and default avatar was a green button with white text that said "Send Friend Request". She clicks it, and within seconds a notification sound is heard on Rarity's screen as a red circle with a 1 on it appears in the upper left corner. Rarity has gotten her first friend request on DisChaos.

The prospect of taking a portrait of herself made Rarity smile in delight "Oooh I have to try that when I get home! I can change it whenever I want, right? I'll have an avatar for each month!" She snickers at the idea of taking a picture of her flank for the avatar. "What kind of mare do you take me for? Hahaha, that would be absurd. But I'm surprised to hear you say that now, I would think you'd be wanting to flaunt your mark!" She felt some more relief that there were still some bits of the Fluttershy she recognized there. 

Her eyes widen as she sees the notification for Fluttershy's friend request. She follows the instructions given to her and clicks on the green arrow to accept the friend request. Soon after, Fluttershy appeared on her friend list! "Ah there you are, it worked! This is quite the marvel!"

Fluttershy smiles "Excellent! Now to test this via some distance, while I could simply just teleport far away and try it out that way... I wanted to give us a test through another fashion... I am going to go back into my vessel. And we'll at least briefly talk on the chat program while you're out here and I'm in there... If when you first got here, you tried to call out to me while I was still inside, I couldn't hear you before. But now DisChaos can be a method to contact me even while I'm resting peacefully inside my bottle.”

"Wow, that's incredible! And there's no distance that this won't work from? You could be on the other side of the world and I'll still be able to talk with you like you're right here?" She asked in awe "I suppose you testing it from the inside of your vessel makes sense." The mention of this serving another purpose puts Rarity on edge

“However... this will also serve another purpose~." Fluttershy's eyes go half-lidded before she spawns a sort of camera on a tripod that points to where Fluttershy's vessel is standing. "You're about to get a live show... to one of the most heart-pumping performances us genies can provide... pleasurably re-entering our vessels with grace~" Fluttershy eyes Rarity as the yellow genie bites her own lip. 

Rarity lets out an audible gulp at the prospect.

"A… a live show?" Rarity cannot help herself but blush at this private showing from Fluttershy. She tries her best to contain her excitement but it's clear from the way she's shaking that it's tantalizing for her to get to see this. "Y-you're serious? Is… is it like what happened when you had transformed?" She thinks back to every time she's seen a genification, the moans each pony let out, it was like a siren song calling out to her. She could resist it… but didn't know for how long. "A-alright, for testing purposes. Let's do this…"

Fluttershy more than happily obliges. She closes her DisChaos screen, which itself makes an exit almost coincidentally in a genie like way but back into one of Fluttershy's hooves. Rarity presumes that when she closes her screen, it may enter her horn. She briefly wonders if she'll feel anything when she does close it.

But on to the 'private show’, with Fluttershy flying away from Rarity's side to just above her vessel. Fluttershy picks up the vessel's stopper and lets it float above her. Fluttershy then rhythmically and slowly shakes her hips, Fluttershy takes her time entering the vessel. 

Fluttershy smiles before floating upwards and slowly enters her lamp with a long elegant flowing motion while moving her wings in a slow rhythmic motion. The slower it was, the better it felt, inch by inch Fluttershy's genie tail shrinks more and more. Fluttershy coos with soft moans, she does some dances with her upper body. Her forehooves gracefully being moved in yoga-like poses, she hasn't stopped moving her hips from left to right.

Rarity's cheeks blush pink, and a slight drool from her mouth as Fluttershy's performance continued. She can't help but be captivated by her genie friend's magic.

Her dancing only gets more entrancing and captivating by the second and she gives Rarity the best show possible. She continues to shake her body as she puts her forehooves to her sides allowing them to stretch along her increasingly smokey and curvy, lower body.

As the genie tail starts to give way to the parts of Fluttershy's visible pony body. Her moans intensify, cheeks ever blushing more pink. Fluttershy reacts by dancing a little faster then she was before, drawing out big breaths and sighs. It was increasingly clear that even if perhaps it doesn't come with the initial first shock of pleasure that a genification has. Re-entering the vessel post-genification was far from going back into a prison, what may look like simply itty bitty living space to those not in the know. Was a feeling of more comfort, more pleasure, and more relaxation than any mortal could ever dream of.

Fluttershy stretches her forehooves downwards to let them enter the vessel now. She could no longer do much more of her dancing, but she does all she can with some subtle moves of her shoulders and tilting her head from side to side all while expressing more sighs and ever more intensifying moans. Soon her shoulders, and the lower part of her pink mane follow her forehooves into the vessel.  Leaving her as just a neck and a head. 

She tilts her head slightly upward, her loudest moan of the moment sounding out as her veil and mouth stretch toward the vessel’s entrance. The moan is then muffled, echoes, and decreases in volume as all of Fluttershy is once again contained in the vessel. The butterfly shaped topper falling onto the opening to seal Fluttershy once more with a clink.

Rarity now the only pony physically in the room again, left to contemplate yet again the fantastical moment that is a genie becoming one with their vessel for the first time or once again on her lonesome. And while Fluttershy's animals can't exactly imagine what happened, the movements of their caretaker mesmerized many of them. They knew by now that Fluttershy was unharmed by this strange process. They soon go about their usual daily lives once they've shaken off the mesmerizing movements of Fluttershy from their heads. Whereas the memory of those movements linger far longer in Rarity's head. 

Rarity can't tear her eyes away from Fluttershy throughout her entire performance. While she'd been in awe of the way the genies were transformed and the sheer pleasure on their faces as they got sucked into a vessel. This was far different, this was a show specifically for her. There was no shift from fear to pleasure unlike when she was first transformed. The constant hip swaying followed by the moans made Rarity turn beet red. 

She couldn't help but take a few steps closer to watch as Fluttershy was sucked in fully. A thought… no, a desire built within her, the urge to want to experience that herself. To at least know what it's like, her breathing had gotten heavier, she grasped at her chest. This was far more sensual, more intimate than the initial genifications were in her eyes. 

She took a moment and took a few deep breaths, the scene would be replaying in her mind for days to come. (“That was… that was… oh my, calm yourself, Rarity.”) She fanned herself with a hoof, as if she were overheating. She walked over to the nearby couch and sat down "I'm never going to forget what I just saw and heard...." Once she was able to compose herself just enough, she sent a message to Fluttershy via DisChaos 

<Rarity> <That was certainly... quite a show to remember, darling. Hopefully this message goes through?>

<Fluttershy> <Hehehe, I bet it was. Cause I felt alllllll of it~>

<Fluttershy> <But guess what... while the memory of it may stick in your mind mentally for a while... what if you could still see it  as you remember it.... whenever you wanted to?~>

In a quick moment, something begins to load on Rarity's screen that's sent from Fluttershy. Once the loading bar is complete. Rarity can see a thumbnail of Fluttershy floating above her vessel. She clicks it, and lo and behold. It was a FULL recording of what she had just witnessed. High quality video and sound like she was seeing it for real all over again. That must have been what the camera on the tripod was for. To add to the fact that Fluttershy's performance was going to stick to her quite mentally, she could now view it again and again, entirely as she pleases.

Before Rarity can even type up a response, she sees the attachment that Fluttershy had linked to her and gasps 

<Rarity> <This is… you recorded this for me?> 

Deep down she knows keeping it might just make her fall right into Fluttershy's hooves, but... (“I suppose viewing it more times won't hurt... it's...for research! plus I can see how the clothing needs to work when we...THEY get sucked into a vessel, yes! I will not use it for… fantasizing…”) She lets out a nervous chuckle to herself as she justified this thought. 

<Rarity> <Well thank you, Fluttershy. I'll view it when I need… inspiration... f-for a new outfit for you! I know you can just make one yourself b-but you gave me the sketchbook and showed me how to use this service too. It's only fair I give you something in return.>

<Fluttershy> <Another thing Discord is working on, and in fact almost finished with, is adding voice chat in addition to live streaming camera capabilities to DisChaos. So some time soon we won't just be able to type messages to each other, but actually speak and see eachother from all across the world. Or I suppose in my case, and any other genie for that matter... from inside a vessel to anypony outside!>

<Fluttershy> <And oh... yes! I'd love to see what you come up with for me later! I may be able to make my own things with genie magic myself, but your creative mind is still quite valuable ^^> 

<Rarity> <Oh, that's fantastic! We'll have to try that when it's ready! And with this… streaming camera, I'd be able to get direct input on new outfits!> 

She does feel good about knowing that despite a genie's ability to make anything, her creative spark would still be appreciated in such a world. (Good, so I'll still have my business just in case we change… b-but I'm certain we'll come out victorious!) 

<Rarity> <Are you going to remain in that vessel or are you going to re-emerge so I can say goodbye to you properly? I've got plenty of inspiration I'd like to work with while it's still fresh.>

<Fluttershy> <Oh, I'll re-emerge myself pretty soon. I do just want to point out one more thing... that the 'show' I just sent you doesn't have to be the only one. I'd be more than happy to send more short videos of genie fun to share to you from time to time. I could even record some or all of the next genifications I'll be doing. For uh... 'full transparency' of what I've been up to, so you can tell Twilight and the others who I've gotten personally> 

"She wants to give me more?!" Rarity blurts out loud, her face flushed red. She shakily types, Fluttershy can see the  'Rarity is typing' message with long pauses before continuing. Clearly she's struggling with her own personal excitement as well as trying to think how she can word it without seeming as such. 

<Rarity> <Yes, that would be good for myself and the rest of the girls to… study. Twilight may be able to learn something from it that we haven't noticed yet. Plus, it gives us a way to keep tabs on whom we can rely on… that being said, could you possibly keep us up to date on what Starlight is doing as well? This way, we're not going in completely blind the next time we encounter her?>

<Fluttershy> <I do plan on giving Starlight a visit too, and probably let her get an account on here too. I'll certainly share what I can get out of her, but keep in mind that I will not spy on Starlight just for the sake of eavesdropping. I refused her order for me to spy on you girls earlier, but that doesn't mean I'll do the vice versa every day. I have my own agenda here, collaborating with both you girls and/or Starlight only when it's convenient to do what I want to do. Do you understand?>

"Tch..." Internally, Rarity was disappointed to hear this but this is still better than having no information at all. And she was relieved that Fluttershy will stay true to not being a spy for Starlight either. With a heavy sigh, she types 

<Rarity> <Yes, I understand. I know everypony will appreciate any information we can get. As long as you also understand that we will still be doing everything in our power to stop her.> 

She stops before typing out another message 

<Rarity> <Also can you please keep my...'interests' to just us? I know you ultimately want all of us genified, but I still trust you, Starlight however, I do not. And I don't think I ever will, even if you're able to teach her proper kindness. I'm not asking as someone from an opposing side, I'm asking as your friend. Please keep it a secret.> 

<Fluttershy> <Don't worry about a thing, I fully intended not sharing with another soul about your interests. I will probably be sharing some of the same content I show you to Starlight, but I won't tell her about myself sharing them to you.> 

<Fluttershy> <Although... I have a feeling just like I did. She's likely already picked up on your curiosity just having watched your reactions to numerous genifications by now.> 

<Fluttershy> <Perhaps as my first duty to warn you girls. Is to keep yourself on your hooves, as Starlight may plot some temptation traps for you in the coming weeks. Try to keep the words "I wish" out of your vocabulary as much as possible, especially if something seems suspicious.> 

"Curse my overt curiosity..." She mutters to herself (This may mean I might be her next direct target if she's aware of my… interests. She's been gone since Fluttershy and Meadowbrook were genified as well, she could have genified a good number of ponies by now.) This information doesn't discourage her, if anything it's pushing her to build up her resistance even more. 

<Rarity> <Thank you, Fluttershy. I will be sure to let the girls know of this immediately. I'm not surprised she'd try those kinds of underhooved tactics. But we will all be on guard for those things.>

<Fluttershy> <Alright, I'll be coming back out now. Glad to see DisChaos works to perfection!>

A moment later a loud POP sound is heard as the topper flies up with the tendril of yellow smoke quickly reforming back into Fluttershy's shape. It's faster and not as showy as when Rarity lifted the topper herself. Making Rarity wonder whether Fluttershy's emergence earlier was itself a show too, or if there was a tangible difference between a genie letting themselves out. And another releasing them from their vessel. 

Rarity tilts her head at Fluttershy's quick emergence. While interesting in its own right, the lack of flash and substance is odd. (Did she just go all in for my own sake when I opened the bottle? Why was this not like before? Do genies just get to choose?) For now, she puts that thought in the back of her mind, she smiles at Fluttershy and gives her a hug "Thank you for everything today, the talk may have started out a bit rocky, but I would like to have some more private talks. It would be like how we used to spend time together, I know I'd certainly enjoy that."

"Of course! And thanks to DisChaos, we can message and plan when our next meeting happens! You can feel free to close it for now. All you need to do is move the cursor to the red x in the top left corner. It will then  compress and fly straight into your horn, heh, almost like the program itself is the genie of your horn!" Fluttershy giggles

"Oh is that how it works? Alright, I just do this and..." As she clicks the red X, it twists and pulls into Rarity's horn, sending a bit of a shiver down her spine. It wasn't unpleasant but it definitely wasn't what she was expecting. "O-ok that was...um interesting. But I'll be looking forward to our next little talk. Plus, I'll be able to let you know the exact moment your new outfit will be ready with this DisChaos thing!" She lets Fluttershy go from her hug and walks towards the door. "Fluttershy, I want you to know, no matter what happens, I still see you as one of my best friends. I'll try to get the girls to understand that as well, even if we don't see eye to eye on this Geniequestria thing. I know you can't be hurt but… still be careful around Starlight ok?"

Fluttershy tilts her head, and grins with a smug face."Hehe, this is where you're still underestimating me because of my shyness from before. I'll have more than enough ways to carry on my own even when it comes to Starlight. Her plans are a double-edged sword after all, she's empowering everypony and they'll all want to genify others they know. But she can't make everypony do her bidding, and there's nothing she can do about a genie that knows when to say No~

That's where she'll eventually need to learn some generosity, earn a favor by gifting ponies with kindness. And that's exactly what we can do, together. Whether or not you're a genie by then at that" 

"Is that right? I suppose that is one of your strengths, you really can do anything you set your mind to, Fluttershy, that was true even before you became a genie. With your willpower, you might be the key to fixing this world after all, darling. We'll both need to do our best, to make it all work in our own way. Maybe you can get some other genies to realize that they can say no as well." She smirks back. 

The idea of teaching Starlight generosity sounds far-fetched but she knows not to brush off anything as impossible, especially with what she's seen in the last few days. "If you can guarantee she'll actually listen, then I might be willing to teach her true generosity as long as she doesn't try to trick me if that time ever comes. But I know better now than to underestimate you, but don't underestimate us as well!" 

Fluttershy nods, then flaps her wings, and majestically spins while still floating in the air and tailed to her vessel. Pink and green magic sparks pop around her to give Rarity a nice little light show before she heads out the door. She then smiles gently, winks, and waves her left forehoof goodbye.

SIDE STORIES

Zephyr felt relaxed, though still rather confused since she didn’t even get an explanation. “Sis… what… is this? And… why does it feel so good? Wait, this is the same attire those guards had earlier… does that mean…”

Fluttershy nods her head thinking Zephyr may have got it already

“...I’m a Royal Guard now?!”

Fluttershy facehoofs, even now a genie. Zephyr isn’t all that bright yet.

“Zephyr, you realize that something’s happened both times you said the words 'I wish', plus you saw me shapeshift from a bird back to my normal self. I’ve already proven to you that I’m not a changeling. But to make sure you get what has happened, I am a genie now Zephyr… and so are you now”

Zephyr gasps “Wait… a genie? So… I have MAGIC now?!”

Fluttershy nods and smiles.

“Oh. My. Celestia! THIS IS SWEET! I can do anything... And I can say I did it all on my own!” Zephyr quickly poofs up a mirror to look at himself. He gasps again, seeing her new mare appearance. “Whoooooooa… I actually look great! I’d date myself if I could!~”

Fluttershy reacted with a bit of disgust. But to get the subject off that image, she asks Zephyr about a possible name change.

“Now that you’re a mare, us genies are actually offering to give new names to those who are genified and used to be stallions. I don’t suppose you have a name in mind, do you?” Fluttershy asked.

Zephyr tries to think of something, but this is a bit hard for her. “I’ve… never been the best with names. How about you think of something for me, and I’ll see if I like it.”

Fluttershy takes some time to think of something for her brother-now-sister. Before settling on a name. “My brother-turned-sister, would you mind going by the name… Aura Winds?”

The newly genified stallion-turned-mare thinks over with the name, and it quickly begins to warm up to her. “Aura… Aura… Aura. Winds… I think I could live with that!” The mare that was once Zephyr accepted her new name.

“Good! Now… how about we head inside, and give this gift to Mom and Dad?” Fluttershy suggested.

“Wait, is there like something going on where everypony is turning others into genies?” Aura wondered

“Pretty much, yea. You don’t have a problem with that, do you?”

“Naaaah, it sounds pretty interesting actually. Wouldn’t mind seeing Rainbow in such garbs like this~” She about daydreams of seeing Rainbow Dash as a genie.

Fluttershy again shakes her head “I must warn you though, we’re not allowed to genify her yet. The pony who started this thing is saving that moment for later. Oh, and while you are a mare now. You still don’t even have a 1% chance of getting Rainbow to love you, it’s more like 0.1%. Our magic can’t make somepony fall in love with ponies they didn’t already have feelings for”

Aura looks disappointed, but she soon shrugs. “I’ll still take 0.1% over 0%. At least there IS a chance now!~”

Fluttershy rolls her eyes, but also kinda giggles. “Alright Aura, I’ll tell you real quick how to gain your hindlegs and tail real quick. And we’ll walk on inside”

As Aura is instructed about getting to walk on 4 hooves again. She surprisingly gets it pretty quickly, when before even the simplest things she would struggle with. Fluttershy would clap for her sister, and they head inside for a special visit to their parents.

They soon find both their mother, Posey Shy and their father, Gentle Breeze by the small room outside their home where Gentle keeps his collected clouds. He is inside, though their mom is just outside. She’s the first to see them walking by.

“Oh! Hello dear! It’s nice to see you visit u- A-WUHHHH?! Zephyr?! Is that you '' Posey takes off her glasses and wipes it off in case this was some weird trick of the eye. But when she puts them on again, there Zephyr was... still clearly a mare, and she could tell this wasn’t just a different pony. The color scheme was just too similar, and if there was any more doubt, she still recognized Zephyr’s cutie mark even if it was a tiny bit different.

Aura just nodded her head “Yep, it is indeed me, Mom!”

“My Celestia… hold on a second, your father needs to see this too!” Posey quickly goes in to fetch her husband to see not just Fluttershy is visiting, but a pretty drastic change done to Zephyr.

“Fluttershy? Zephyr? What brings you he- WHHOOOOOA!” Gentle Breeze could see the vast change that Zephyr has undertaken too pretty quickly. “Wha… what in Equestria happened here?”

“Hehe, I think my sis can explain. Heck, I don’t think she’s given me the full story yet either…” Aura turns toward Fluttershy

She nods, and takes some time to explain everything that’s gone on. Including more context of what her family had already heard in terms of the Storm King’s suddenly abrupt defeat. And of course everything about herself and many others becoming genies, including Zephyr, and introducing her new name to them. 

“Well… this sure is alot to take in… but as long as you two are happy with it. We’ll support it!” Posey graciously said.

“And Zeph… I mean… Aura, I must say that Fluttershy’s magic really worked in making you look great as a mare. Though I do have to wonder if you even wanted that in the first place?” Their father asked

Aura just shook her head “Nah, it’s no biggie. Like I told my sis already, if it means I even have a little chance at Rainbow Dash. Then I’ll take it!

And even aside from that… All this magic in me makes me feel I can actually do everything I’ve ever wanted to do on my own just as Fluttershy’s magic has instantly improved her confidence!

I… may even think of finally going out on my own soon… just as my sis once did…”

Both of them gasp, although they could never have the heart to tell him. They’ve long waited for the day that Zephyr would try to live on his own. But know all too well that with both his attitude towards giving up on anything that’s hard, that leaving him out would only eventually lead him to be stuck on the streets alone.

“My my… this really has helped you so much, and I could definitely tell at many points how much Fluttershy’s confidence has gained just telling us everything that’s happened…” Gentle Breeze smiles, feeling proud of both of his… daughters now.

“Now I kinda wish that I could receive the same confidence boost you two got! Both of us could need a boost like that lately…” Posey happily stated, not realizing what those words just binded her and her husband to.

Fluttershy then turns toward Aura, they smirk at eachother as they’re both thinking the exact same thing: It was time.

“Mom and Dad, we’d be more than happy to help you with that~” Fluttershy and Aura then lift a hoof and levitate two of the empty jars meant for collected clouds. Fluttershy points the lid toward their mother, while Aura does the same but for their father.

The two parents are confused at what their daughters are about to do to them. Though it becomes somewhat more apparent as Gentle Breeze’s head, neck, and forehooves start stretching toward the glass that Aura was holding. Posey reacts in shock and shrieks in horror seeing her husband get shaped so abnormally.

She tries to fly out, but her own ponytail and her hindlegs begin to follow suit. 

By the time she’s close to the door, she feels a force preventing her from moving any farther, and when she looks back… she sees everything below her hips is nothing but a smoky, curvy tail heading towards the glass that Fluttershy was holding. Not to mention, her husband was already about halfway inside.

“S…st…stop! What are you doing to us?!” Posey says to both Fluttershy and Aura in her panicked state. Both of them giggling a little before responding one after another.

“The same thing Starlight did to me…” 

“And what Fluttershy did to me, too!”

“You’re going to become genies like us!”

“And you’ll gain the same increased confidence in the process!”

Posey still wasn’t so sure. “B… But that’s not what we wished for?! C..can…can’t you just grant us confidence… without making us genies?!”

“We could… but… we feel that this way, you not only get what you wished for. But so much more than that. Just relax, mother… you’ll soon feel what we’ve been talking about… and you’ll see why it changed both of our lives for the better~” Fluttershy winks.

Gentle Breeze only had the bottom of his hooves and some of his tail left, if looked closely, his eyes could be seen from within the bottle, half-lidded with a blush amongst the mixture of his colors

Posey just about wimpers, what can she even say at this point? They can’t do anything against these new powers… but Fluttershy nor Aura would hurt them… right? She’s still scared, but her mind wanders onto some curiosity on what she would gain from this.

And then what were her hooves entered the spout.

“AaaAAAAaaa!” Posey immediately overwhelmed with a rush, her face blushing bright pink. She relaxes now, unfolding her wings and her eyes go half-lidded.

Fluttershy smiles “There you go, mother! Our apologies for scaring you, it’s just not easy to calm ponies down about being sucked into vessels smaller than themselves. I’m sure most ponies instinctively think of how impossible this should be, or even if they could believe it… they may think they will be incredibly cramped and in a more claustrophobic situation.

But don’t worry yourself… once inside you’ll find what is more so an endless void that you’re able to decide for yourself what is inside later. Though we will be freeing you and father out shortly. From then on, you two will be able to enter and exit at will!”

All that was left of Gentle Breeze outside the vessel was the end of his hooves which are quickly slurped up by the glass. Aura then closes it. The newly mare-ified genie beams a smile, having enjoyed giving her father what is surely to be the same gift of both genification and a gender change as well, she wonders what he’ll look like as a mare once they open the vessel back up. The container begins to lose its opaqueness as it becomes themed on Gentle Breeze’s colors.

Posey was just cooing and moaning as she was carefully pulled into her own matching vessel. She hardly says a word, still not even knowing what to say. Fluttershy whispering to her to help her out.

“Mother… just feel the magic flow through you… let it pleasure your very mind and soul… and let yourself speak out what you want to say… I’m sure you have many thoughts overflowing your brain… this is how it changed us… don’t be afraid, you and father will feel so much better once this is complete. And the best thing is… it will be built to last. We can show the world what we’ve been too meek to share until now.”

Posey let the soft whispers of her daughter lift her spirits, the tingly feelings getting more intense as the pegasus mother was shaped more to fit in the vessel with her forehooves binded voluntarily to her sides. She switches between heavy breaths and moans as the magic welling up in her helps her find the courage to say what she wants to say.

“I… I…. Iiiiii OooooOOooooo! I… l-l-l-LOVE THIS! F-f-Fluttershy… A-a-Aura!”

She was now only down to her neck and her head, The intense feelings really overwhelming her.

“AAAAAAAAAaaaaaAAA! YES! YES! Let’s show the world who we really waaaannteeeeeed to beeeeeeeeeeemmmmmmmmppppphhhhhh!”

Both parents were now contained in the glass containers. The colors shifted to Posey’s colors just as it did for Gentle Breeze. Fluttershy with her own satisfied smirk for another genification, she had previously genified Meadowbrook. But something felt more personally satisfying at having her family join her in geniehood. Aura was feeling likewise, the power in her hooves to not fail at every given task and share this power with others left her fulfilled like never before.

“Fluttershy, can I say you’re the absolute best sister ever? Because you really are!” She gives a tight hug towards Fluttershy, who gladly returns the favor.

“Thank you, Aura! Though I’m just doing what I think is best for everypony here, it worked out for me. And I know it’s worked for you, and will do so again for our parents. Speaking of which, let’s release them now! So we can be one happy, and more confident family together!”

Aura nods, and they both lift the stoppers off at the same time. The two glasses were shivering before…

FWOOOOOOOOOOOSH

Light green and pale yellow smoke swirl above the glasses, with light pink and raspberry sparks respectively pop around as the two emerge.

The parents fade in, Posey looking how she was but with a green veil and leggings that matched her glasses. Though Gentle Breeze certainly was far more drastically changed, the swirl mane no longer like whipped cream on top (Although the curl on top stayed), but now covering half the former stallion’s face in a style more similar to, though much shorter then Fluttershy’s mane.

The parents breathe a long, relaxed sigh. They each open their eyes, and Posey looks on over to her husband. And she just about squee’s seeing this new version of Gentle Breeze.

She quickly flies on over to her husband-now-wife’s side and hugs her. Gentle eeps in surprise, but soon smiles for Posey’s warm embrace before gently hugging back.

Fluttershy and Aura’s hearts both go aflutter watching the two.

When their embrace ends, the both of them look down towards their daughters. “T-t-thank you… so much Fluttershy and Aura… this… feels so… l-l-liberating” Gentle hugs herself.

“You’re very welcome! Though… now that you’re a mother too. I need to offer you the same deal I gave to Aura after she changed from being Zephyr. Do you want to change your name in any way?” Fluttershy offered

Gentle thought for a moment, maybe even a little longer than most when deciding their new name. “Hm.. I… don’t know if I want to change from Gentle… but I might be willing to change my last name to Winds, just as Aura has. I can go from Gentle Breeze… to Gentle Winds” The mare that was still Gentle, but more windy than breezy softly smiles.

Both Fluttershy and Aura nod in agreement. “That’s an excellent slight name change! After all… ‘Gen’tle is pretty ‘gen’der neutral, he he'' Fluttershy giggles at her pun.

Spitfire gasped in horror as she heard Fleetfoot's screams and moans, registering what had just happened to her teammate. “(No! Fleetfoot…)” She grit her teeth and continued to fly. Some tears leaked from the sides of her goggles. Before she determinedly turned towards Soarin’s direction. 

"WE CAN'T STOP, SOARIN! KEEP LOOKING FORWARD! DODGE EVERY LAST BOTTLE!" Her confidence was wavering. To keep up this speed, along with dodging lightning and the near endless bottles coming at them, be they dud or otherwise, it was overwhelming. (What I'd give for some magic to blast these things out of the sky…)

With one less Wonderbolt in the tornado, Soarin and Spitfire get even less control of the Tornado. Both bottles and bolts of lightning strike at Soarin, who miraculously manages to dodge everything.

"Gonna take more than that to bring me down, Lightning!" Soarin bravely declared.

Lightning just laughs quietly "Quite impressive, Soarin. Obviously you're a veteran flier much like the Captain, and you aren't as arrogant as Ms. Fleetfoot. However, you still have a weakness that even I found out in my short time at the Wonderbolt Academy… you can't resist a good pie!" Lightning then charges some magic which puts all the flying vessels into pies.

It didn't help that this drawn out battle certainly has left Soarin' quite hungry. His mouth begins to water just seeing all the pies soaring around. He shakes his head however, and is determined not to let his love of pie be his downfall as he still continues to dodge them all. Though his stomach certainly rumbles, a part of him hopes he gets hit with a fake one so he can still get some much-needed sugar in his system.

With the appearance of yet another obstacle for them to dodge, Spitfire's anger continued to build. "Why, Lightning Dust!? You were ready to take the genies down no more than five minutes ago and now you side with them!? Your hatred for us aside, what about the rest of Equestria?! Don't you care at all about what they're going to do to this world!?"

Princess Luna rolled her eyes at these accusations. "Again with thinking we're some kind of evil force. Do they genuinely not realize that what we do is for the good of all?"

Tempest rubbed her chin "I think I'm starting to understand why the Storm King was so obsessed with PR relating to his reign… clearly messaging does play a factor in these takeovers..." She grimaced, thinking that something her former boss did was a smart idea. "Still, our methods are working just fine. I think the blue one is next on the list." 

For just a moment, Spitfire looked towards Soarin. "NO MATTER WHAT, DO NOT GO FOR THOSE PIES, YOU HEAR ME!? SHE'S USING OUR WEAKNESSES AGAINST US!" She quickly focuses back on everything in front of her. It's only now that she had that brief second of looking elsewhere did she realize, the bottles, the lightning, and now the pies, while some of it was flying in her direction, most of it was currently aimed towards Soarin. (She's picking us off one by one… this is nothing more than a game to her…)

Soarin continues to dodge all he can, but he's beginning to tire out. Besides the tornado that's been hard to keep up, or at least they think are still keeping up, he and the others have been trying to help the forces in Cloudsdale for hours by now. The fatigue really dawned on him.  He could really use a sugar boost, and those pies are looking more and more tasty by the second. He thinks maybe he should let himself get hit by at least one, with the chances that it'll be one with a fake vessel inside. Soon another pie approaches and Soaring actually catches it with his forehooves. 

Sweat flew off of Spitfire, she too was running on fumes. Adrenaline being the only thing keeping her going. If she stopped for a second, she knew it'd be over. The clang of one of the pie tins echoed against the wind. "SOARIN, NO!!!"

He bites into the pie, luckily for him this one was indeed was one with a dud vessel. But then a strange feeling comes over him, as his eyes become hearts. 

"That… pie... soooo... goood.... must... have... more!" It seems Lightning added some addicting ingredients to the pies. As now Soarin was ACTIVELY chasing each of the pies down and eating them. 

While she was glad it was only a dud, Soarin's reaction frightened her even more. "Soarin? SOARIN?! SNAP OUT OF IT! YOU'RE GOING TO GET SUCKED IN!!" She knew what that look was, a want it, need it spell. (That little....) 

Soarin still finds mostly fake ones, which only increases his ravenous addiction until he finally gets one where the moment he bites into the pie, his face seems to stretch right into where he bit into. Soarin had been caught by the pie with the real vessel inside it. He barely gets a second to react as his head and neck are absorbed. The rest of his body flails in the wind as it too is brought into the vessel.

Spitfire tries to rush in and stop him, but it is already too late. "SOARIIIIIIIIINNNN!!!!" More tears fell from her eyes. 

Lightning floats the pie over, and takes the vessel out from it. And she now devilishly smirks as she takes her attention to the only one left. Answering the Wonderbolt’s question after bottling Spitfire’s veteran teammate right in front of her.

"Blah blah blah, Genies spheenies. It's bold of you to think I care a flying feather about anypony else in Equestria. The only important thing is that I prove that I'm a better flier than YOU and your ‘favorite cadet’, Rainbow Dash! Even when you're a genie and we're ‘equal’ and all that nonsense, you will belong to ME!"

Lightning Dust's speech about not caring for genies or geniequality was like a red flag to Luna and Tempest. Luna immediately got out of her relaxed position, ready to knock some of her own sense into Lightning. Not out of a desire to save Spitfire from genification but to make Lightning understand where her loyalties should lie. "I've heard enough. That is not going to be acceptable, we need to..."

Tempest stopped her "No, let her genify Spitfire first. Then we talk. Lightning is going to be a pain if we stop her too early..."

Now that Spitfire was the only one of her teammates left, she realized they were never keeping the momentum of the tornado, Lightning Dust was. Her taunting nearly pushed Spitfire over the edge. All the raw emotion, the anger she was feeling, came out. "YOU ARROGANT TRAITOR!! YOUR PETTINESS HAS DOOMED ALL OF CLOUDSDALE! ALL OF THIS IS BECAUSE YOU WANT TO PROVE YOU WERE A BETTER FLIER?!" This anger was fueling Spitfire to fly faster, she just lost everything and she knew time was running out for her. 

Now she was the one flying recklessly. Wanting to slam into Lightning, knock some sense into her. "YOU LISTEN AND YOU LISTEN WELL, YOU WERE NEVER WONDERBOLT MATERIAL! YOUR SPEED HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT! RAINBOW DASH MAY HAVE BEEN JUST AS RECKLESS AT TIMES, BUT SHE WAS WILLING TO LEARN! YOU WERE JUST SO ABSORBED IN YOURSELF! EVEN IF YOU GENIFY ME, I WILL NEVER BELONG TO THE LIKES OF YOU!!!"

Lightning just takes Spitfire's bitter words at a stride. After all, she still had the upper hoof over Spitfire.  As the Wonderbolt captain flies ever closer to Lightning, she prepares to seal the deal and conjures another vessel similar to the ones that have captured Fleetfoot and Soarin.

Lightning smugly smirks and narrows her eyes, daring Spitfire to approach "That's right... Come at me, ‘captain, give me everything your years of training and experience has got for me~"

Spitfire darted around as best as she could, all this anger in losing her allies to Lightning Dust of all ponies. It was just another reminder of her failures as captain. "GIVE THEM BACK!" She surprisingly continued to pick up speed, now creating her own kind of trail similar to Lightning Dust's or Rainbow Dash's. Though hers, much like her namesake was like fire, complete with sparks surrounding the trail. 

"YOU WANT TO SEE WHAT I'M CAPABLE OF!? FINE! THIS IS FOR THE PRIDE OF THE WONDERBOLTS!!" Her flames added to the storm, making it into a fire tornado. "THIS IS SOMETHING THE REST OF THE TEAM HASN'T SEEN BEFORE! I CALL IT MY FLARE BLITZ!" The temperature increased as she rushed in for Lightning. If this was going to be her last stand, she wanted to make it count. The fireball that was Spitfire rushed in, right towards Lightning Dust. She'd be able to see the white hot intense look in her eyes. “(Soarin....Fleetfoot, I'm sorry I wasn't a better captain…)”

"Oooooo, a fastball! I love a good game of Baseball! Batter's up!" Lightning poofs for herself a baseball uniform, helmet, and a baseball bat.  Bending herself into a batter's position as Spitfire headed towards her.

Spitfire roared one last time "THIS ISN'T A GAME YOU ARROGANT LITTLE… AAAAAGH!!!" 

With just the right timing, Lightning Dust SMASHES Spitfire on the side of her body, not just injuring her wing but sending her hurling through the tornado. 

Spitfire howled in pain as Lightning smashed her wing. That had been her strongest flying trick, one she had developed through all of her life’s hardwork, and it was just swatted away as if it were nothing. Lightning not only smashed her body, but her spirit as well.

"I'd say that's a home run~" She deviously laughs before flying towards the bottom of the tornado, she makes all her baseball attire disappear as she gets back into business 

"Now it's time for one last ride as the Wonderbolt captain, you're going down WITH the tornado~" She places the bottle right at the tip of the tail end of the tornado, the bottle beginning to suck in the entire tornado with Spitfire still being spun around. The closer Spitfire gets to the vessel, the more her body stretches and spirals on the inside edges of the ever shrinking tornado. 

As she hurtled back towards a vessel, Spitfire tried desperately to stop her momentum, flap her wings. But that smash effectively made her right wing useless. It drooped downward instead of moving." GAAAAAAAAHHH!! NO!!" Now with no way to fly out of this, she was caught within the storm she had helped create. Feeling herself swirl around and around. The fire being quite the spectacle as it spiraled down. "Stop this… PLEASE!" Spitfire pleaded, her previous confidence was gone, she didn't know what to do but hope for some kind of mercy.

As the bottle sucked in all the flames and Spitfire with it, her body began to stretch, spiraling down. "No, no, NO!! Lightning Dust, stop this!!"

Neither Luna or Tempest were fans of this method. While they were still going to let Lightning genify Spitfire, this wouldn't stand.  Despite everything, Luna still cared for her subjects even if many were currently on the opposite side. "That is enough, Lightning Dust! We may not see eye to eye yet, but we are not here to break them!!"

"Hey, relax Princess. The bottle will heal her up both mentally and physically. She'll only be hurting for the remaining time she's still a mortal... but maybe that's exactly why I should slow things down a little~" Somehow Lightning makes the large fire storm slow its spin making it take longer and longer for Spitfire to be drawn into the vessel. Spitfire can feel her entire body lengthening, a spirialing smoky tail of the same blue color of Spitfire’s flight suit that used to be her hindlegs nearing the spout of the vessel. "Now your descent's much more relaxed!. So, 'Captain'...  any last words before your ascension to immortality?~" 

Tempest groaned "Seems she's one of the sadistic types. I can sort of understand where she's coming from. It's very cathartic to pull one over on your enemies… still this isn't like the Storm King. We may have to take her to Starlight once she's done." Luna nodded in agreement.

Spitfire tried her hardest to resist the pull of the bottle but there was no getting out of this. Her pony tail was already being fully sucked in. She tried to wiggle her hind hooves in an attempt to pull them back but she had briefly forgot she didn’t even have hindlegs anymore. She looked up at the taunting Lightning Dust in a mix of anger and sadness. She didn't have the energy to fight back anymore. This was it, she had failed, and now it was going to be dragged out. Some tears fell from her face. 

"I failed everypony… Soarin, Fleetfoot, and you too… Lightning… You… you could have been a great wonderbolt… had you applied yourself… you reminded me a lot of myself back in those training days. Setting academy records, trying to be the best, but you know what your problem was? You threw it all away. You were, and still are too full of yourself." She spat, knowing full well that her mind was going to change about the genies soon enough, she'd seen it already with the other guard ponies who had transformed. But she wanted to get these last thoughts out. 

"You're no better than every other villain. Sure you've beaten me, this is what you wanted to hear, right? You won, Lightning Dust. I couldn't outfly you, and you saw right through our plan from the start. But you wanna know something? No matter what happens, no matter how powerful you are as a genie, and even if I end up following your orders..." Her new genie tail approached  closer and closer to the bottle.  "You will NEVER be as good as Rainbow Dash." She gave a laugh right as what used to be her hind hooves connected to the bottle. Her laugh quickly shifted to a moan, much like everypony else who'd been transformed. The pain she felt earlier was now replaced with a pleasurable tingle. "Oooooooh~"

"Hmmph, we'll see about that... I'll pay a visit to Rainbow Dash one of these days. And I plan to be there when she inevitably finds herself slipping into a vessel. Preferably by my own hooves, the day she submits to me shall be priceless~. For now, just get all that joy and pleasure out of the way before I seal you up myself..." Lightning says as she levitates up the bottle's topper, waiting for her chance to slam it right on top of the bottle so she could say she literally brought Spitfire under her hoof, even if not so much metaphorically.

Spitfire's slow spiraling descent continues as the fire tornado and herself shrink in length, her hips now entering the vessel's spout as the tingling gets ever more intense. 

"Aaaah?" Most of what Lightning said didn't even register with Spitfire. The injury on her wing looked like it was already healing thanks to the magic surging through her. "Maybe....this won't be soooooo bad. It may be the end of the wonderbolts… but I guess in the back of my mind...I already ooooooh knew it… Mmmmm.. .while we were flying.... internally, I wished I could go faster… wished I had the magic to win… I guess I'll have that sooooooon enough...." More of her is sucked into the bottle, now up to her chest. Her eyes had a similar look to Soarin's as he was eating the pies, she looked lost in the sensations. "I almost… don't want this to end...."

"Hehe, nah. This isn't the end of the Wonderbolts, we'll need to tempt Rainbow Dash with the name being the same sooner or later. The only consequence for you is your demotion, for I'll be taking over as captain. However, I'll be gracious enough to make you my second-in-command as my lieutenant. You'll be demoted in rank, but I'm pretty sure everything else for you will feel like a promotion~" Lightning Dust smirked and chuckled

"D-Demotion....? I...." Part of Spitfire wanted to retort, to keep her claim from earlier that Lightning wasn't fit to be in the wonderbolts. However given that she single handedly beat their best fliers without even trying, and all of the feelings currently coursing through her body, she couldn't help but agree. "I... I guess my time as captain was coming to an… mmmm… end sooner or later… just… do the bolts proud..."

She'd been sucked up to her head. That last squeeze pushed her over the top, letting out a final moan before an audible SCHOOOMP! pulled the rest of her and the flame tornado in with her. With that, it was done, all 3 of some of the best wonderbolts had all succumbed to vessels. 

Luna and Tempest made their way over to Lightning Dust now that the storm had cleared. Tempest spoke up first. "So, how did it feel to genify the wonderbolts? Feeling more satisfied with the genie powers? I think we should discuss what we're planning next. Just to get you up to speed." Luna didn't say anything just yet, but she had a more stern look on her face.

Lightning dons a satisfied grin "Bottling those three was so cathartic, I'll never forget it for the rest o- or rather for all-time given the immortality. And sure, give me the gist of what's next. 

Can't promise I'll help with everything though, as if it's not anything that'll bring me closer to getting revenge on Rainbow Dash, I'm not sure it'll keep my interest long enough. Given you genies haven't done something like, wish from each other that all of Equestria was genified. It seems whoever the higher-ups of this genie thing don't want this to be a speedy process.

 So I'm obviously too fast for your leader's wishes. Unless it has anything to do with Rainbow Dash. I may just chill while I settle down at my new home at the Wonderbolts HQ!

Though say, when can we let them out? I'm eager to see their genie forms~"

"We thank you for the assistance, that much is certain. However, please keep in mind that we do not have to physically harm them if we don't need to, we don't want to perpetuate the idea that we're monsters." Luna said in a serious manner. Of course this is in spite of the fact that she had her own sorts of fun while genifying the guards.. 

"Ponies need to see that what we offer is a new and better way of life. Granted, this will most likely be the last of any major resistance outside of the elements… and do what you wish but keep in mind we're spreading geniequality, you may lead the wonderbolts since you bested their captain. But do not fancy yourself as a better to any genie, is that clear?. 

And in regards to Rainbow Dash, we will most certainly need to call upon you once again. Given your eagerness, we'll be sure to let you know of our plan for her when the time comes. But until then, even if you see her, she's not to be genified until the time is right." With the more serious conversation now out of the way, Luna nods at Lightning's request. 

"I'm curious too, those flight suits must have played a factor in their genie attire." Tempest smirked. "With the guard and the wonderbolts on our side, the rest of Equestria will soon be seeing things our way. Please let our new allies out, Lightning"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah... I only hurt Spitfire because her move was just asking for a baseball punchline… And Spitfire was trying to burn me!... I mean sure, I'm a genie now, so I would be fine no matter what happened, but she still tried to hurt me first. It was a fair shot of self-defense." 

She rolls her eyes a bit on the talk of not being any better then anypony but perks up when she mentions they'll bring her in when it's time to genify Rainbow Dash "Gotcha" She's a little disappointed that they don't want to genify her all that soon yet, but she smirks thinking of some ways to potentially mess with Rainbow Dash until that day comes. She can't genify her yet, but there are certainly ways she could potentially troll her in the meantime at the very least.

For now, she's now set on releasing the Wonderbolts. Though she decides to graciously hoof over Fleetfoot's bottle to Luna, and Soarin's bottle to Tempest. "Here, we'll open the three of them together. A different sort of victory champagne,~"

Lightning lifts Spitfire's vessel with magic and begins a short countdown  "Ready on... 3, 2, 1, GO!" 

Luna doesn't quite buy Lightning's self defense explanation, but she sighs. "What's done is done." (We may still need to keep her in check though, something tells me she'll need another talk down the line…)

Tempest pats Lightning on the shoulder, seeing her disappointment in not going after Rainbow immediately. "Don't worry, it'll happen soon enough. She's just part of a little game at the moment and we can't ruin it. Besides, there's still plenty of others to genify, plus I think you'll be busy in the meantime too. Right, 'Captain Lightning'?" 

Lightning already liked the sound of what Tempest mentioned. 'Captain Lightning' A nice ring to it after all that's happened today, immediately dispelling most of her disappointment with not going after Rainbow Dash just yet. "You betcha~"

The two genies gladly take their respective bottles and open them

From Fleetfoot's vessel comes a cyan column of smoke with white sparks, from Soarin's vessel comes the same but in light blue and darker blue sparks that soon form up in the front half of the two ponies. Although much like all the stallions thus far, Soarin was now a mare. Both of them had the same color of veil and leggings as Spitfire did.

A mix of red, orange, and yellow Sparks fly from Spitfire's, embers spew out as well. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, Spitfire spirals out in a ball of flame. The tornado clearly still has some effect on her. She opens her forehoovess wide, dissipating the fire around her and the trio of genies can see that her flight suit is now gone, replaced by blue veils. She floats down to them, looking at her new attire, feeling the power welling up in her. "I can see why you were so adamant on wanting to share this power now..." 

"Ooooooooh wow~. Had I known it'd feel that good... I might have dived right into a vessel myself..." Fleetfoot commented

"I feel... different... but at the same time... so much better~..." The mare-i-fied Soarin smiles gently with lidded eyes, and does a flip trick while tailed to her vessel. 

Spitfire marvels at the sight of her teammates turned genies. "Almost makes us feel silly for fighting so hard. And I've gotta say..." She flies over to Soarin "The transformation really did wonders on you~" She smirked "You're lucky those pies didn't go to your thighs! Or maybe they did, we all don't have them showing right now!" She laughed, feeling a sense of relief for the first time since before the Storm King's invasion announcement. "You're like a whole new pony!"

Luna chimed in, happy to see them quickly adjusting and accepting their new roles. "Now you all understand what we've been trying to do! But as with all the ponies who've been changed like Soarin, with that new form, a new name is in order."

The mention of a new name makes Spitfire recall the conversation they had about giving Soarin a new nickname anyway. She floats over to Fleetfoot and whispers. "So do we make her new nickname her permanent name or should we be nice?"

Fleetfoot whispers back "How about we bake our cake and eat it too, We'll give her an actual cool name to keep permanently. But that won't stop us from using 'Backfire' when we're back at HQ~"

"Heh, sounds good to me!" She looks back at Soarin "We've got the perfect name in mind! One that we're sure she'll like!" Spitfire smirks at the mare, perhaps making her sweat just a little that they'd call her 'Backfire' outside of the wonderbolts. "She will no longer be Soarin, but now, Glide!"

The mare that was once Soarin reacts with a bit of a surprise, and some relief that they didn't try to make a nickname her new name. Glide smiles and accepts her name "I love it! Can't wait to show the new me to the rest of the bolts and our trainees..." The subject of the other members of the Wonderbolt organization just manages to dawn on them.

Fleetfoot turns to their new captain. "Captain Lightning, with your request. We'd like to spread this pleasure amongst the rest of our fellow bolts and staff once every pony's back at HQ."

Glide nodded "Most of the Wonderbolts were put in charge of protecting the refugees that are currently in Fillydelphia which is why it was only us three for battling with the Storm King's invasion force. Now that it seems the Storm King is gone... and our rather swift defeat to Lightning Dust and the rest of the genies. Thankfully, our vessels proved to be a peace plan that'll make it so it's safe to bring everypony back home. Including all the other Bolts at HQ"

"...And then Genify them of course~" Fleetfoot deviously laughed a little.

Lightning listens to the Wonderbolts now under her in rank, and just smirks and nods "Of course we can do that~. That'll be fun... though Princess Luna... You may want to send a royal message to Fillydelphia that Cloudsdale is 'safe' to return to now.~" 

Spitfire smiled at the approval of Glide's new name. Though when she heard Fleetfoot call Lightning Dust, Captain, she flinched. While she had admitted that she knew her run as captain was coming to an end, deep down it still stung. Something that would be quite noticeable by the change in reaction. She tried to shake it off after the mention of bringing everypony back home from Fillydelphia. Falling in line as the 'rookie' once more.

Tempest chimed in at the mention of the storm king "While we know that you wouldn't have listened before, the Storm King has indeed been taken care of. He will not be seeing Geniequestria or share in the power we genies have." There was a smug sense of satisfaction on her face. It had been just yesterday, and she still revels in remembering seeing his final moments before being turned to stone.

Luna nods at Lightning. "Already being taken care of." She writes down on some parchment and teleports it away. "The ponies there will be under the impression that everything will be back to normal. Let's at least get them home safely before having our fun? We don't want anypony to slink away now."

Suddenly, two teleports come near Princess Luna. It's Gleaming Shield and Bayonet. The latter salutes the princess and reports the status on the ground "Every royal guard is accounted for and/or bottled, your highness. We can begin to escort them back to Canterlot!"

Gleaming looks at the newly genified wonderbolts. "Seems we missed quite a bit! Sorry we're late, but we wanted to have some fun with our guardmates." 

"You mean by going around with some kind of act?" Tempest teases. "You were having so much fun earlier, I had to play my part. Looks like it went better than expected!"

Princess Luna smiles at the group. "Excellent, we shall all return as heroes! With the guard and now the most decorated active wonderbolts on our side, Geniequestria is stronger than ever!" She lets out a laugh. "I'll notify Starlight immediately as well, she'll want to hear this. But good work everypony!"

Lightning notices the mention of Starlight "So this Starlight's is who the head honcho of this whole thing? I'll be sure to see her at some point. Gotta thank her for giving me the opportunity I've been waiting for~"

It was then that the groups started to split for separate ways. The Wonderbolts along with their new captain Lightning Dust head to help the remaining members of the Wonderbolts, their staff, and all the refugees back to Cloudsdale. 

While Luna, Tempest, Gleaming Shield, Bayonet, and all the genies of the Royal Guard prepared to get back to Canterlot. 

The Battl- or perhaps… Bottling of Cloudsdale was a success. Trixie's hijacking of a concert in Manehattan had secured that city as well, Princess Celestia along with Cadence and Inkwell have begun a more long-term plan for Canterlot, and of course Starlight has landed a pretty critical blow to the Elements of Harmony with the genification of Fluttershy in Ponyville. The four pronged expansion of Geniequestria had gone pretty much all according to plan, but there was still much work to be done to achieve the ultimate goal of Geniequality for all....
