>"Twilight, I need help!"
>looking up from her book, Twilight saw the panicked face of Fluttershy
>"Of course! What's wrong?"
>"Okay, um... this is going to sound weird, but... people have stopped paying attention to me!"
>Twilight tilted her head. "But... that's what you prefer, right? You don't like being the centre of attention."
>"Yes! I mean, no!" Fluttershy paced around, her curvy body jiggling subtly as she did. "I... look, there's something you need to know about me, Twilight. I... I have this condition..."
>"I'm assuming this is beyond claustrophobia, selective dracophobia, scopophobia-"
>"I'm not kidding Twilight," Fluttershy said and bit her lip. "I... I need a certain amount of attention to be paid to me or... well, look at me!"
>Fluttershy ran her hands over her, frankly, famously curvy body, as if expecting Twilight to notice something out of the ordinary
>Twilight sighed and rolled her eyes. "I get it. You're beautiful and womanly, Fluttershy. You got me! I'm jealous. Legitimately. And anyway, I'm paying attention to you right now, so even if there's something going on, why isn't this interaction helping? Just tell me what this is about?"
>"It doesn't count with friends, I-" Fluttershy gasped and whimpered. "Too late!"
>Twilight stood and put a comforting arm around Shy's shoulders
>Fluttershy moaned and, to Twilight's shock, her tits swelled even bigger
>then her ass ballooned out and split the seam of her pants
>and then she grunted and sprouted taller until her clothes shredded
>"What in the world!?" cried a voice from the side
>Twilight first noticed Fluttershy stop growing, then noticed Nurse Redheart gawping at the now 6'7" and far thicker Fluttershy as she recovered from her bizarre growth spurt
>"Thank goodness," Fluttershy whispered
>Twilight teleported herself and Shy away from any probing eyes and back to Shy's cottage
>"I'll this succinctly," Twilight said. "What the fuck!?"
>Shy swept her pink hair back and grimaced at her body, then sighed. "If you ever wondered why I'm so horribly curvy, it's because I'm cursed. I was a shy, willowy teen and stumbled on an object that guaranteed I would always attract attention. I'm *still* shy, but my body always makes people look, but I guess I've become so familiar around Ponyville, nobody pays attention to me any more."
>Twilight pinched her brow. "Wait, so you're cursed to become increasingly hot and huge if people you're not immediately associated with don't pay attention to you?"
>Shy nodded
>"And how long had it been since someone saw you, before Nurse Redheart?"
>Fluttershy shrugged, her enormous boobs bouncing. "About two days?"
>"B-but I know for fact you've gone longer than that without seeing people!"
>"Then I don't know!"
>"You mean to tell me that if a series of very abitrary and nonsensical conditions aren't met, you're going to grow?"
>Shy pursed her lips and shrugged again. "Now that you say it like that, it seems kinda silly, doesn't it?"
>"Yep."

>Twilight sighed and shook her head
>the fact that Fluttershy had hidden this... 'curse' from her was one thing
>but trying to cure it was quite another
>with Fluttershy's new size and ridiculous curves already attracting attention, and with her hiding in her home, she was safe from any more growth spurts
>Twilight just had to work out-
*knock knock*
>"Twi? Little help here?"
>"Oh, what now!?"
>"Hurry up! I'm getting desperate!"
>Twilight opened the door to a distraught Applejack, with her leg in bandaged up and walking on crutches
>Twilight suddenly remembered AJ had recently taken a bad fall
>"I should imagine you *are* desperate, at least to sit down. You're walking around when you're supposed to be resting!" Twilight huffed, but stepped aside and smiled. "Well, come on in; do you want anything to eat or drink?"
>"Thanks Twi. Y'have no idea how close I was comin' to... y'know, my thing?"
>Twilight blinked. "Your thing..."
>"Yeah, my thing, where if I don't do any real hard work for..." Applejack paused in her hobbling. "Aw, heck, I ain't told ya about my thing, have ya?"
>Twilight's face turned red as the frustration grew. "I swear, if this is another curse-"
>Applejack slumped into a chair and tapped her chin. "I mean, a curse pretty well describes it."
>"*Another* curse?" Twilight snapped. "What is going on around here! First Fluttershy, then you? What curse do you have? Why am I only finding out about them now!?"
>"Well, it- dang it, here we go."
>Applejack sighed and her belly grumbled and roared like an angry, hungry (or hangry) dragon 
>she then rapidly put on weight, which had a knock-on effect of expanding her curves as well
>her ass and hips strained both her jeans and the chair
>her boobs and belly shot the buttons of her flannel shirt all around the room, knocking over several books and plant pots
>finally the chair gave way beneath her and the room shook from the impact
>far from turning fat, it just made AJ thicc
>then *beyond* thicc
>she was gargantuan!
>with the backing of Applejack's muscle, it made her an absolute behemoth of curves and strength
>"Well, shoot," Applejack said with a growl. "Dumb curse. Oh well. See, this curse happens if-"
>Twilight facepalmed. "Let me guess; you haven't exercised and/or worked in an unusual amount of time, so you gain weight."
>"Sure do! Heck, Twilight, y'all never fail to surprise me with how smart you are!"
>"And, dare I ask," Twilight said as she peered between her fingers, "when?"
>"Well, since it's just triggered, I'll be fine until I trim down! Usually it's after a week of being lazy. Shucks, guess it gives me a genuine excuse to take it easy for a while."
>Applejack squirmed on the ground, but was too heavy to move with her ankle still injured
>"Uh... little help, Twi?"
>Twilight sighed and, with a flash of her horn, teleported Applejack back to her farm
>she then returned to her books
>and dared to think of who else would turn up, and with what curse, next

>Twilight magically threw open the door so hard, the panicked yelp sounded
>and a heavy thump
>"Well, I never! Twilight! What kind of welcome is this? I arrive for a little help, and you almost hurl me through the hallway and dislocate my shoulder?"
>a tired, disheveled and cranky Twilight sighed from behind her table
>"I'm sorry, Rarity. Today's been... strange. First I discover Fluttershy and Applejack are both cursed, then I find out they've had these afflictions for ages, yet they never told me."
>"Oh, what a coincidence, darling! I-"
>Twilight teleported into Rarity's face and pressed her nose against the fashionista's own
>"If the next words coming out your lips are some form of 'I'm cursed', I'm going to SCREAM!"
>"Oh, please, Twilight. I'm not cursed!"
>Twilight slumped, sighed and her shoulders went slack. "Thank goodness."
>"It's distinctly a hex. I've had it for years, my dear."
>Twilight froze, her eye twitched wildly, then took in a long, hard breath
>then teleported
>Rarity's eyes went wide as she heard a shrill, furious scream somewhere in Twilight's castle
>it went on for some time
>after a moment of silence, Twilight reappeared, sighed again, and cleared her throat as she teleported a quill and clip board into her hands
>"What's the hex? And what *TOTALLY ARBITARY* rules are you subject to?"
>"Oh, nothing like that. On the third full moon of the year, I transform into-"
>"That's tonight," Twilight snipped, then laughed, clearly losing her mind. "In fact the moon will technically have risen in one minute." She grabbed Rarity by the fashionable collar, shaking her violently. "Why are you only just bringing this up now!?"
>Rarity grinned sheepishly. "It slipped my mind?"
>"Twilight stammered and gesticulated so wildly, Rarity had to back off to avoid getting slapped
>"What is wrong with you people!? Why are you all *hiding* these curses from me!?"
>"First, it's *not* a curse, and- oh dear, here it comes! I apologise in advance, Twilight! My alter ego is quite- oh my...agh!"
>Rarity convulsed and her slim, feminine body shifted
>her clothes drew tight as her body bulged, swelling with muscle, and her curves expanded
>her hair became messy, and even changed colour, becoming a pale red
>Rarity burst out of her clothes and flexed as she laughed
>"Sweet, sweet nudity at last! Hell yeah!"
>Twilight was barely even surprised at this point, and just scribbled down some notes
>Rarity's supposed alter ego didn't stop growing until her head bumped into the ceiling, leaving Rarity, or whoever she was now, a 9ft amazon
>she glanced down at Twilight and winked. "S'up, babe, I'm Commona! Want your 'rug chewed'? Your cave depraved? Whatever gets you outta those clothes and pressed against my snatch!"
>Twilight sighed for a third time. "Your hex is that turn into a sexually aggressive, amazonian, nudist lesbian?"
>"Yep."
>Twilight shrugged. "Fine. Just fuck me and get it over with."
>"Will do."

>Twilight was physically satisfied, but mentally spent
>Commona sighed, content and calm, as the sun came up, and shrank back down into Rarity's normal body and personality
>she then opened her eyes and, upon realising what had happened, tittered nervously
>"I... suppose I don't need to ask."
>Twilight said, "yeah, we had sex, and I'll add your curse-, sorry, *hex* to the list of things to solve."
>"Well, darling, don't prioritise it or anything; it only happens once a year, after a-"
>Twilight pinched Rarity's lips shut
>"*Don't* you dare say that! I'm solving these damn things as soon as I can, and no 'forgetting' or last minute searches for help are going to stop me! Now, if you want to be useful, tell me; do Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie have curses, hexes or whatever makes you change!?"
>"Well, Pinkie did-"
>"Great! I'll deal with her first!"
>Twilight teleported away
>she then teleported back after a few seconds, bright red in the face
>"... I forgot my clothes. I just gave Mr. Cake a shock."
>"She's going to the Everfree forest, Twilight, but wait, I-"
>"Terrific! Thanks."
>clothed, and with another series of teleports around the forest, she found Pinkie
>the plump girl gasps and raised her hands "Twilight, wait, I'm fine! I've got this under control! Applejack and Fluttershy already told me you didn't know, so I took care-"
>Twilight flinched. "Oh, no; I'm not letting you get away with this curse you have, or hex, or maladaptive arcane knot, or whatever the *fuck* it is! We're dealing with it right here, right now!"
>Twilight's horn glowed as she snared Pinkie in a field
>Pinkie gasped and shivered. "Twilight, stop!"
>"Ah hah! See? We're already too late! Well, I can't wait to see what nonsense I'll have to deal with to cure you!"
>Pinkie stopped shivering, looked panicked, as she sat down and grew
>and Sweet Celestia, she grew fast!
>Pinkie immediately exploded out of her clothes
>10ft, 20ft, 30ft
>she soon outgrew the trees nearby, her gigantic body ploughing through trees and plants
>all the while Twilight tried to keep hold of Pinkie, using her magic to find whatever the source of the curse was
>yet there wasn't anything tied to Pinkie's body
>and soon, the earth girl was just far too big for Twilight to hold
>"I don't understand!. Why can't I detect any magic on you?"
>Pinkie pouted, and fidgeted
>only the tiny movement on the now 100ft earth girl caused the ground to crack and shake
>she spoke, with a booming voice, "because, I already saw Zecora and had it taken care of!"
>"Y- you were already cursed *and* cured! But... you're gigantic!"
>"Zecora told me I was gonna be sensitive to magic for a while and absorb it like a sponge."
>"But... but..." Twilight collapsed onto her knees.. "What was your curse then?"
>"Hah, it was a little embarrassing, but I got a little gassy if I ate strawberries. Not anymore, though!"
>"I-" Twilight fell silent and completed her collapse, and just stared at the sky

>"Twilight, you've gotta help me! I'm cursed!"
>the downtrodden Twilight barely raised her head from her table as Rainbow Dash hovered above her
>"Cursed with awesome!" Dash laughed so hard she fell to the floor, rolling around as she held her sides
>Twilight's brow twitched
>"Wait, no, I'm hexed! So, SO hexed!"
>still no response from the young alicorn
>"I'm epic as hex, I mean!"
>"Rainbow Dash," Twilight said and slowly sat up. "I love you, along with AJ, Pinkie, Shy and Rarity as friends. I would do anything for any you. I would go to the ends of the Equestria on my hands and knees if it would help any of you."
>Dash got her laughter under control and gave Twilight a confused look
>Twilight continued, "so understand that, when I say this, it comes from a place of care, compassion, understanding, love, friendship and patience."
>"Okay?"
>Twilight inhaled, slowly and steadily, and smiled warmly
>she said, in a sing-song voice, "if you don't cut that shit out right now, I'm going to kill you in your sleep. Okay?"
>Dash's eyes went wide. "Uh."
>Twilight's smile went crooked. "I. Said. *OKAY!?"*
>Dash recoiled and backed away. "Rght! Sure!"
>"Great!" Twilight's became more natural. "Now, was there something I can help you with, or were you just, to use your parlance, busting my chops?"
>"Just busting your chops," Dash mumbled, still deeply concerned
>"Well, consider them succinctly busted! Very funny. Okay, goodbye, Rainbow. I'm going to try and fix all of our friends and it's going to take some serious work, so please don't disturb me unless it's extremely important."
>Dash sheepishly left
>and hid back in her home
>after a couple of hours, there was a knock on the door
>Dash opened it to a particular 6'7" fellow pegasus
>"Oh, hey, Fluttershy. What's up?"
>Shy smiled. "Hi Rainbow Dash. Twilight's just cured my curse, even if she couldn't shrink me down again... still, no more growing! But, um... that's why I'm here; Twilight sent me to apologise for what she said. She seems to be much better now that she's got a handle on these curses, hexes and such. She just finished curing all of us!"
>"Cool! Not that yours was much of a curse, but nice!"
>Shy looked at her gigantic boobs, each twice the size of Dash's head, and pouted. "Not every likes being forced to be the centre of attention, Dashie. But you should apologise too! I felt bad enough asking for Twilight's help so late out of shame, but when I heard everyone else troubling her too late to be helped, it must have really stressed Twilight out."
>Dash shrugged. "Ugh, I guess... fine, I'll go see her and apologise too."
>"You probably should, but not right now now. Twilight said she didn't want to be disturbed and she looked really tired."
>Dash watched Shy fly away, in her now far more awkward and cumbersome body
>Dash huffed and headed towards Twilight's place anyway, and took flight as the sun went down
>she was gonna apologise right here, right now, and prove she was a good friend
>as she approached Twilight's castle, Dash saw a swirl of magic from one room, Twilight's lab and library
>murky fog poured out of the room as Dash landed in the windowsill
>and received a blast of magic that knocked her back
>"What the hell!?"
>Dash took flight, and felt a strange surge run through her
>"W-wait, Rainbow? What are you doing here!?"
>Twilight grabbed Dash with her magic and pulled her inside
>Dash squirmed as the weird energy flooded her body
>"Oh no," Twilight said, "you just received every curse... and that one hex the other girls had!"
>"What!? But... wait, I should be fine, right?"
>Dash began counting her fingers
>"I've talked to plenty of people and exercised today, Pinkie had hers cured by Zecora and the full moon was last night."
>Twilight glanced out the window. "The full moon wasn't technically the requirement of Rarity's... it was only because that was when she was afflicted, which means-"
>Dash's squirming hit full force
>"-it now happens the night *after* the third full moon of the year!"
>Dash burst out of her clothes as she grew taller, and more muscular
>her hair turned a muted shade of assorted greys
>Dash, or whatever this new alter-ego was, said," ugh, could this change go slower?"
>Twilight facepalmed. "Yep... an anti-personality."
>Dash finished growing into a 9ft powerhouse, who promptly sat down
>"Everything's going *way* to quick."
>Twilight looked at the powerfl but sluggish new personality. "You okay there, Dash?"
>"Sloth. Monochrome Sloth," the new personality said and yawned
>"Great. Are you... uh, interested in having sex or anything?"
>Mono just flopped onto the floor. "Kinda, but it's too much effort."
>"Well, that's a relief at least. Guess I can always work on a cure while you just mellow out ther efor a-"
>Mono's stomach roared angrily and loudly
>Twilight cocked an eyebrow, then gasped
>"Oh no... Applejack's curse in *this* lazy host?"
>"Aw, whatever," Mono said as her stomach bulged and swelled
>her curves expanded and she took up more and more room in Twilight's library, knocking over bookcases as she became a 9ft, ultra thicc muscular amazon
>"Wait, and if you're a new personality, then that means... oh no!"
>Mono then expanded even more as, without ever being noticed by anyone besides Twilight, she undertook Fluttershy's curse
>Twilight, after having started recovering from the stresses of the last couple of days, felt her brain fry
>she couldn't even cast magic in this state
>she just cackled as Mono grew relentlessly, and would do so until she broke out of the room, where someone would see her, and leave Mono a gigantic, mega-muscular mega-curvy female anti-Rainbow Dash
>Twilight just staggered out of her library, and gibbered
>"I guess the real curse were the friends I made along the way!"
