>The zebra's eyes light up once she sees who it is.
-
5.
>"It has been too long, dear Fluttershy! Tell me, why have you decided to stop by?"
-
6.
>You smile and step through the door to Zecora's cabin.
-
7.
"Twilight mentioned that you had some tea that I might like. ...It's not too forward of me to ask for some, is it?"
-
8.
>Zecora chuckles and beckons you towards a pair of chairs, a pot lightly bubbling between them.
-
9.
>"My tea is legend, is it not? As luck would have it, I just made a pot~"
-
10.
>She hums to herself and pours the pair of you some tea.
-
11.
>You inhale the fragrance and sigh.
-
12.
>It's an exotic scent, unlike anything you've ever smelt.
-
13.
>Your friend sit across from you and lightly sips on her drink.
-
14.
>"Now tell me how you have been of late, I myself have been quite great."
-
15.
-
16.
>You giggle and brush your mane away from your eyes.
-
17.
"I didn't think you'd go through with it, Zecora!"
-
18.
>The zebra swells with mirth.
-
19.
>"Do not mistake me for some frail thing, my hooves can pack quite a sting."
-
20.
>She mock-jabs the air a few times.
-
21.
>"I sent that beast running for the hill, and I have to say, it was quite the thrill."
-
22.
>She chuckles again and checks her cup.
-
23.
>"Alas, my cup is empty again, could you fill it up, if that's not a pain?"
-
24.
>You happily pour her another cup of tea.
-
25.
>Sit back down and smile at Zecora.
-
26.
>She gives you her usual intense stare.
-
27.
>Zecora always seems to be searching for something when she looks at ponies.
-
28.
>Here it's no different.
-
29.
>You've long since stopped being uncomfortable though, it's just how she is.
-
30.
>Finally, she speaks, her voice dropping somewhat.
-
31.
>"Twilight tells me of your quest, Fluttershy, you know what I mean, do not lie~"
-
32.
>Cock your head.
-
33.
"My... quest?"
-
34.
>Zecora's smile twists into a smirk.
-
35.
>"Your ongoing quest of romantic seduction, I was wondering if you desired my instruction?"
-
36.
>Your face goes bright red.
-
37.
"O-oh, that, umm, it's going... good."
-
38.
>"Come now Fluttershy, you can tell me what's wrong, I don't want you to suffer too long."
-
39.
>Sigh in defeat.
-
40.
"Well, I've had my eye on this guy for a while."
-
41.
>Zecora smiles and motions for you to continue.
-
42.
"He's really really attractive and I k-kinda want to..."
-
43.
>Gulp.
-
44.
"Y-you know. But he's not returning my feelings and I don't know what to do."
-
45.
>Zecora nods slowly.
-
46.
>"Sometimes those we love are difficult to attract, it can take months, or years to be exact."
-
47.
"That's not very reassuring..."
-
48.
>"Worry not, my yellow friend, I am here with an ear to lend."
-
49.
"It's just that, well, I've tried dressing up, wearing make-up, showing an interest in the same things he's into, but nothing works! It's like he hates me..."
-
50.
>Zecora shakes her head.
-
51.
>"Hate is very much a powerful word, to use it so liberally is quite absurd. I'm sure your colt is simply distracted, it will have to take more to get him attracted."
-
52.
"But how? He said yesterday that the only way to get him to like me was with a fetish..."
-
53.
>Zecora stares at you, shocked.
-
54.
>Look glumly at your cup, your sad reflection looking back at you.
-
55.
>"...I may have that which you seek, but I must warn that it is not for the meek."
-
56.
>Glance up.
-
57.
"You can help me?"
-
58.
>"There is indeed a fetish you can employ, but it is dangerous, and is want to destroy."
-
59.
"Oh. Sorry, but that doesn't sound like something helpful, Zecora."
-
60.
>Your friend stands up, a determined look on her face.
-
61.
>"If a fetish is what it will take for your joy, then a fetish is what we must deploy."
-
62.
>She beckons for you to follow her.
-
63.
>You trot behind her as she moves over to a tough looking chest in a dark corner of the hut.
-
64.
>The mare gives it an apprehensive look.
-
65.
>"The creature within a most troublesome pest, but for performing tasks it is surely the best."
-
66.
>With a swift move that makes you flinch, Zecora throws open the chest.
-
67.
>A small wooden mask with elaborate etchings and war-paint covering it lies on a satin cushion within.
-
68.
>Zecora reaches in and plucks it out, holding it up to the light with a hoof.
-
69.
>"This creature appears as a simple mask, but it shall aid you with any task. Its methods are odd and manner unkind, though it will help you out of your bind."
-
70.
>The zebra gives it to you.
-
71.
>"Take it with you and give it a mission; a drop of water shall seal your petition."
-
72.
>Look between the mask and Zecora.
-
73.
"R-really? This will get Anon to love me?"
-
74.
>She raises an eyebrow, clearly surprised by the mention of Anon, but nods regardless.
-
75.
>"Anonymous is a stubborn man, but this fetish shall make him your fan."
-
76.
"Oh."
-
77.
>You look at the mask again.
-
78.
>A dark sense of dread washes over you as you stare into the hollow eyes.
-
79.
>Ancient tribal markings cover its surface, and you shudder to imagine the depravity of whatever magics conjured such a thing into existence.
-
80.
>In the back of your mind a voice tells you that this is a bad idea, that you should turn back before you tamper with powers far beyond your control.
-
81.
>...
-
82.
>Then again, this thing could get you laid.
-
83.
"Yaaay!"
-
84.
-
85.
>Slam your front door shut.
-
86.
>Scamper up the stairs of your cottage.
-
87.
>You pass Angel on the way up.
-
88.
>He points at his tummy.
-
89.
"Not now, Angel! Mommy's dealing with ancient tribal spirits!"
-
90.
>The rabbit rolls his eyes.
-
91.
>Slam your bedroom door shut and cast the mask onto your bed.
-
92.
>Silence reigns.
-
93.
>Wet your lips and tremble slightly.
-
94.
>So you just ask it to do something and pour water on it.
-
95.
>That's what she said, right?
-
96.
>There's no way this can go wrong.
-
97.
>Zecora wouldn't give you an extremely dangerous magical artefact from a time-lost age, would she?
-
98.
>...No, she's a good friend.
-
99.
>Nodding to reassure yourself, you clear your throat, your most confident voice addressing the object.
-
100.
"Um, h-hello... I-I'm Fluttershy, um, could you maybe get Anon to love me? He said he needs a fetish to make him love me so... yeah..."
-
101.
>Fumbling with your hooves slightly, you gently pour a glass of water onto the mask's face.
-
102.
>Step back and eagerly await the fireworks.
-
103.
>Nothing seems to happen for a moment.
-
104.
>Until the mask sprouts legs and stands up.
-
105.
>"OOGA."
-
106.
"EEK!"
-
107.
>Trip over yourself backwards as you try to scramble away from the creature.
-
108.
>Arms quickly follow the legs, and soon the mask has a tiny body.
-
109.
>It flexes and lets out a satisfied groan.
-
110.
>"Yellow horny lady want wish granted. Me do."
-
111.
>Blink and stand up, cautiously approaching the mask.
-
112.
>It just stands there, swinging its arms and waiting for you to stop being such a coward.
-
113.
>"Yellow horny lady slow. Hurry hurry."
-
114.
"Um, my name is Fluttershy."
-
115.
>"Fluttyshy horny yellow lady."
-
116.
"W-well I'm not -that- horny! This is about love, not sex!"
-
117.
>The fetish stops swinging its arms.
-
118.
>"...Yellow horny lady stupid. Me done this many time."
-
119.
>Cock your head.
-
120.
"You've done this before? ...and I'm not stupid..."
-
121.
>"Many year ago. Tribe ladies want babies. Me help them get mates. Me done this many time."
-
122.
"Oh! So you have experience! How wonderful!"
-
123.
>"Yes yes. Stupid horny yellow lady smart. We go now. Get you baby. Yes?"
-
124.
"Y-yes please."
-
125.
>The fetish jumps off the bed.
-
126.
>It stands no higher than your front knees.
-
127.
>Said mask peers up at you, its eyes still hollow.
-
128.
>The voice behind it speaks up again.
-
129.
>"We go now. Take me to baby-maker home."
-
130.
"H-he's called Anon, actually."
-
131.
>"Name not important. He only good for making baby. He fill you with many baby."
-
132.
"I'm not really sure if we can actually have babies--"
-
133.
>"No baby then. Only fun time."
-
134.
"Y-yes, fun time, sure."
-
135.
>With that, you reach down and carefully pick the mask up.
-
136.
>It uses your mane as a ladder and climbs onto you, riding on your back.
-
137.
>"This remind me of old days."
-
138.
"Really?"
-
139.
>"Yes. Many baby."
-
140.
>You blush once you realise what it's getting at.
-
141.
>Trot out of your room and towards the front door, calling out into the house as you go.
-
142.
"Angel, sweetie? Mommy's going to go use this potentially dangerous zebra magic to get laid! Carrots are in the fridge, don't stay up too late!"
-
143.
>Angel scowls at you as you happily bound out the house.
-
144.
-
145.
"Here we are!"
-
146.
>The fetish looks around.
-
147.
>"Place too green. No flatland."
-
148.
"Flatland?"
-
149.
>"Old place had flatland. Lots of dust."
-
150.
"Aww, do you miss your home?"
-
151.
>"Lots of lion chasing zebra. Lots of lion eating zebra."
-
152.
"Wh-- That sounds horrible!"
-
153.
>"Yes. But then lion mate with zebra. Good times follow."
-
154.
"...Oh."
-
155.
>"Me see many things. Lewd things."
-
156.
>Crack a smile.
-
157.
>This can't fail.
-
158.
"Alright, here we go."
-
159.
>You start to walk down the hill towards Anon's house.
-
160.
>It's a pleasant little place by Ponyville lake.
-
161.
>Nice and out of the way, just how he likes it.
-
162.
>Stride up to the front door and knock on it a few times.
-
163.
"So um, when he mates with me, do you stop being alive?"
-
164.
>"Yes."
-
165.
"Right, right, um, so you won't watch?"
-
166.
>"I watch."
-
167.
"Please don't."
-
168.
>"I watch. Make sure deal done."
-
169.
>You blush slightly.
-
170.
"Well don't get too cl--"
-
171.
>The door opens.
-
172.
>"Oh Jesus Christ, Fluttershy."
-
173.
"Hello, Anon!"
-
174.
>The human rubs his eyes and checks his watch.
-
175.
>"I'll admit it, I like that you gave me time to actually eat lunch today, but I'm still pissed that you're here. Now go away, I don't care about whatever you're about to say."
-
176.
"But Anon! I found a fetish!"
-
177.
>"...What?"
-
178.
"Last week you told me that the only way to make you love me was if I found a fetish!"
-
179.
>"Guess, Fluttershy. If you -guess- my fetish."
-
180.
>He gives you a cautious look.
-
181.
>"...Why, what did you do?"
-
182.
>The mask leaps off your back and onto your head.
-
183.
>He jabs a tiny finger at Anon.
-
184.
>"Big monkey thing! You mate with stupid horny yellow lady!"
-
185.
>Anon stares at the fetish for a very long time.
-
186.
>You wait for him to rip his shirt off and start sucking your face.
-
187.
>Should happen any second now.
-
188.
>...
-
189.
>Instead, he starts laughing.
-
190.
>"What the fu-- what the fuck -is- that?! Fluttershy, what the hell have you done?!"
-
191.
>You feel your cheeks flush red from embarrassment.
-
192.
"I-it's a fetish! I got it... for you..."
-
193.
>You lower your head and try to block out his laughing.
-
194.
>The human wipes a tear from his eye and steps back into the house.
-
195.
>"A for effort, Shy, but you still need to get off my property."
-
196.
>He slams the door.
-
197.
>Once he does, you hear a knocking on your skull.
-
198.
>The fetish is rapping his knuckles against it.
-
199.
>"Stupid horny yellow lady. We go. Make plan."
-
200.
-
201.
>"Big monkey thing bigger than me think. Have to think bigger."
-
202.
"Think bigger?"
-
203.
>"Very bigger."
-
204.
>You watch with mild amusement as the fetish paces around in the bush at the top of the hill overlooking Anon's house.
-
205.
>Your usual spying spot.
-
206.
>The grass even has a you-shaped crater in it.
-
207.
>He makes a frustrated noise and bangs his little fists on his face.
-
208.
>Then snaps his fingers.
-
209.
>"Me have plan. Stallion like big mare bits."
-
210.
"They do?"
-
211.
>"Yes. Me make you bigger. Have bigger mare bits. Big monkey thing want you."
-
212.
>He nods.
-
213.
>"Good plan."
-
214.
"I think so? How do we make me bigger though?"
-
215.
>The fetish cracks his knuckles.
-
216.
>"Me good with hands."
-
217.
>He waggles his fingers and performs a funny little dance, making grunts and other high-pitched tribal noises.
-
218.
>Once he does a full spin, he points a single finger at you.
-
219.
>Lightning bursts from his fingertip and slams into you.
-
220.
>Your vision goes white for a moment, and an intense pain grips your whole body.
-
221.
>Writhing around on the floor, you feel yourself growing sluggish.
-
222.
>It's almost constricting.
-
223.
>To your shock though, you see that the bush around you is getting smaller.
-
224.
>Scramble to jump out of it and into the clearing.
-
225.
>Your body bubbles and churns as it grows to a huge size.
-
226.
>Soon you're as large as a house.
-
227.
>Blink a few times and look at yourself.
-
228.
>You tower over everything now.
-
229.
>Squinting, you see the fetish dancing around beneath you.
-
230.
>Lean down and try to hear what he's saying.
-
231.
>"Me make you big! Go get big monkey thing! Have big fun time!"
-
232.
>Grinning, you look towards the now much smaller house.
-
233.
"This is going to be perfect!"
-
234.
>Bound down the hill and land with a thunderous crash outside Anon's front door.
-
235.
>The ground trembles slightly from the impact.
-
236.
>A top window opens and Anon's head pokes out.
-
237.
>"Who the-- FLUTTERSHY WHAT."
-
238.
>You get down on eye-level with him.
-
239.
"Hello again! S-so I'm bigger now!"
-
240.
>He opens his mouth to speak, then shuts it again.
-
241.
>"Well, I mean, yeah, you are. But why and how? Mostly why?"
-
242.
"I know you like larger mares--"
-
243.
>"I don't."
-
244.
"--So I made myself the biggest mare around!"
-
245.
>"I'm not seeing the appeal, honestly."
-
246.
"Oh? Well what if I do -this-?"
-
247.
>You quickly turn around and press your rear end against his house.
-
248.
>Because you completely cover his window, you can only hear his muffled screams inside.
-
249.
>' DEAR GOD ALL I SEE IS MEAT. '
-
250.
"D-do you like it, Anon?"
-
251.
>' HOW ARE YOU SO MOIST-- IT'S GETTING ON THE CARPET. IT'S GETTING ON THE FUCKING CARPET. '
-
252.
"Maybe y-you should try licking it up~"
-
253.
>' STOP GETTING INTO IT, YOU'RE ONLY MAKING IT WORSE IN HERE, JESUS FUCK WHERE ARE MY BOOTS AND RAINCOAT?! '
-
254.
"You should get into me instead."
-
255.
>Giggle to yourself.
-
256.
>This is kinda fun.
-
257.
>' NO! NOT MY BED! I'D JUST CHANGED IT! '
-
258.
>...Perhaps this wasn't wise.
-
259.
>' IT'S IN MY EYES. AM I BLIND? OH GOD I'M BLIND. '
-
260.
>Yeah, this isn't working.
-
261.
>' SOME GOT IN MY MOUTH. '
-
262.
>You should probably go.
-
263.
>' AUUUUUGHHH! '
-
264.
-
265.
>"Big monkey thing don't like big mare. He stupid."
-
266.
>The fetish sits on your head, staring at Anon's house.
-
267.
>You're back to your regular size.
-
268.
>You can see the area of house you were pushed up against.
-
269.
>It's glistening in the sun.
-
270.
>"We try new plan. You good with animal, yes?"
-
271.
"Yes?"
-
272.
>"Good. We try animal."
-
273.
"Oh okay."
-
274.
>...
-
275.
"Wait what do you mean 'try animal'?"
-
276.
>Too late; with a waggle of his fingers and a flash of lightning, you feel your body transform again.
-
277.
>Shutting your eyes, you wait for it to be over.
-
278.
>Once you open them, you look down at your webbed feet in sadness.
-
279.
>"You sexy now. Go get mate."
-
280.
>You croak internally.
-
281.
-
282.
>Knock on the door.
-
283.
>Anon opens it.
-
284.
>Then shuts it.
-
285.
>Then opens it again.
-
286.
>"This is really happening, isn't it?"
-
287.
"Ribbit."
-
288.
>"Well fuck. I honestly have no idea what to say."
-
289.
>You blink each eye one at a time and extend your extremely dexterous tongue.
-
290.
>Stroke Anon's face with it.
-
291.
>He doesn't react.
-
292.
>"I don't know what sort of fucked up magic Twilight is experimenting with today, but this isn't productive. Or sane."
-
293.
"Rrrrribbit."
-
294.
>"Perfect. Can you stop licking my face?"
-
295.
>Your tongue goes limp and you drag it back into your mouth.
-
296.
>Before either of you can speak, the fetish clambers up onto your head again, wobbling slightly because of your oily skin.
-
297.
>"Big stupid monkey thing not appreciate beauty of frog pony!"
-
298.
>Anon looks down, unimpressed.
-
299.
>"Tiny stupid mask annoying."
-
300.
>The fetish fumes.
-
301.
>"YOU PAY FOR THIS!"
-
302.
>With a snap of his fingers, the lake next to Anon's house starts to bubble.
-
303.
>Your oversized eyes widen as a tidal wave of frogs surges forth from the depths.
-
304.
>Anon barely has time to slam his front door before his house is mobbed by an amphibious surge.
-
305.
>The frogs break his windows and stream into his home.
-
306.
>You hear screaming from inside.
-
307.
>Watch the scene unfold, transfixed.
-
308.
>Anon bursts from his backdoor, covered head to foot in frogs, which are latched onto his clothes and ribbiting aggressively.
-
309.
>It's beautiful, in a way.
-
310.
>You shed a tear from the majesty of it all.
-
311.
>Then lick your right eyeball.
-
312.
>The fetish chortles.
-
313.
>Anon wails.
-
314.
-
315.
>"Big monkey hard to beat."
-
316.
>Unf.
-
317.
>"We need new plan. Think smart."
-
318.
"M-maybe don't transform me this time..."
-
319.
>The fetish waves its hand dismissively.
-
320.
>"Horny yellow lady not understand beauty of giant pony."
-
321.
>He places his minuscule hands on his hips and stares at Anon's house from your safety bush.
-
322.
>Anon is outside, nailing boards over his shattered windows.
-
323.
>He's also still covered in slime.
-
324.
>The fetish muses to itself before snapping its fingers again.
-
325.
>Something you've learnt to be afraid of.
-
326.
>"Perfect plan. Will not fail."
-
327.
"Could you run it by me first? I don't want to do anything too over the top..."
-
328.
-
329.
>Finish nailing the last board to the window.
-
330.
>Wipe your forehead with a hand and sigh.
-
331.
>You're gonna find Fluttershy once this is over and brutalise her.
-
332.
>Decide to sit down and have something to drink.
-
333.
>Perch yourself on your front doorstep and gulp down your glass of water.
-
334.
>Think to yourself for a moment.
-
335.
>Does Town Hall do restraining orders?
-
336.
>Before you can remember, the ground in front of you bursts open.
-
337.
>A rotting, mangled hand reaches out, followed shortly by a familiar, equally as decayed face.
-
338.
>"AAAAAANNNOOOOOOOOOOON!"
-
339.
"MOM?!"
-
340.
>"REEEEEEEEE!"
-
341.
>Screaming like a banshee, your mother's corpse drags itself from whatever hell it came from and starts chasing you around your front garden.
-
342.
>She's still wearing her pearl necklace and favourite dress.
-
343.
>The ghoul shrieks and tries to flay your skin with huge jagged claws on the ends of her hands.
-
344.
>All you can do is cry like a girl at what's happening.
-
345.
-
346.
>Watch in stunned silence as Anon is hunted by some nightmarish creature.
-
347.
>The fetish giggles.
-
348.
"Wh-why?"
-
349.
>"He scared. He learn from this."
-
350.
"Learn what?"
-
351.
>"Respect."
-
352.
"And how does this relate to me?"
-
353.
>"He have respect for life. You go down there. Reassure him. Then fun times."
-
354.
"Oh! I understand! But, what about the zombie?"
-
355.
>The fetish snaps his fingers.
-
356.
>With a loud splat and a spray of gore, the fiend explodes.
-
357.
>Anon drops to his knees and curses at the sky, his fists gripping a blood-soaked pearl necklace and a bit of torn dress.
-
358.
>...
-
359.
>Humming happily, you prance down the hill to comfort him.
-
360.
"Hello, Anon! Want a hug?"
-
361.
>Anon tackles you backwards, his hands around your neck.
-
362.
>Close, but you'll take it.
-
363.
>"GOD DAMN HORSE WHAT DID YOU DO WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON MY IS MY MOTHER--"
-
364.
"AnonPleaseICan'tBreath--"
-
365.
>"--FUCKING YELLOW SHITTER I'LL END EVERYTHING YOU LOVE WHY ARE YOU EVEN ALIVE--"
-
366.
>Oh.
-
367.
>He seems upset.
-
368.
>Did you come on too strongly?
-
369.
>Ponder this while the corners of your vision go dark.
-
370.
>Before Anon can crush your windpipe, the fetish crawls up onto his shoulder.
-
371.
>He stops, head twisted to look at the tiny mask creature stood next to him.
-
372.
>You both wait for the fetish to do something.
-
373.
>Without waiting for either of you to do anything, the hellion cracks his knuckles and pokes Anon's face.
-
374.
>After a second, Anon lets go of you.
-
375.
>He's trembling.
-
376.
>Stand up, rubbing your neck.
-
377.
>The fetish jumps off Anon and climbs onto you once more.
-
378.
>The pair of you watch in silence as the human falls on his ass, a thousand yard stare his only expression.
-
379.
>His mouth hangs open.
-
380.
>The man's eyes are vacant, staring at some unseen horror.
-
381.
"Umm, Anon? Sweetie? Are you okay?"
-
382.
>Turn your head slightly to the fetish.
-
383.
"What did you do?"
-
384.
>"He see worst fears."
-
385.
"Oh. Why didn't you do this before?"
-
386.
>"Thought yellow lady was fine."
-
387.
"I think he was going to kill me."
-
388.
>"Death is temporary."
-
389.
"O-oh, um, right."
-
390.
>...
-
391.
"So he's not moving, is he?"
-
392.
>"No."
-
393.
>You look around.
-
394.
>Then back at Anon.
-
395.
>Then at Anon's house.
-
396.
"...Lend me a hoof."
-
397.
-
398.
>Anon lies in his bed, staring at the ceiling, mouth still hanging open.
-
399.
>You sigh and cling to him, rubbing his chest.
-
400.
"You were amazing, Anon~"
-
401.
>He doesn't respond.
-
402.
>The fetish, which was sat at the foot of the bed the whole time, nods.
-
403.
>"This good. You win."
-
404.
"I do?"
-
405.
>"Yes. The contract is completed. I go now."
-
406.
"Oh... Will I ever see you again?"
-
407.
>"If horny yellow lady want job doing, yes."
-
408.
"R-right, of course."
-
409.
>The fetish nods.
-
410.
>Then crumples, its body disappearing.
-
411.
>All that's left is the mask.
-
412.
>You bask in the silence.
-
413.
>It's a beautiful sunny day outside.
-
414.
>You're in bed with the one you love.
-
415.
>And you're mostly sure that he loves you back.
-
416.
>Squeeze him just to make sure.
-
417.
"I love you, Anon!"
-
418.
>He lets out a slight squeak.
-
419.
>Yeah, he definitely loves you.
-
420.
>Giggle and cuddle up to him a bit harder.
-
421.
>You wish he was a bit more cooperative during your love making, but this was nice...
-
422.
>...
-
423.
>...Suppose it could be more lively.
-
424.
>Anon just needs motivating...
-
425.
>...
-
426.
>Glance at the foot of the bed.
-
427.
>Chew your lip.
-
428.
>...
-
429.
"W-wait here, Anon."
-
430.
>Slide out of bed.
-
431.
"I'm just gonna get a glass of water."
-
432.
-
433.
The End.
