#meadowbrook's genification
geniequestria · 8 months
Text
While the non-genified Mane 6 went to comfort Twilight, and Starlight basked in her victory with a trip to the spa. Fluttershy went inside the hive that was Meadowbrook’s vessel. She would talk with Meadowbrook over what just happened. The mage from ancient times was initially hostile to Fluttershy’s appearance, since it was technically her fault this happened.
Though Fluttershy could tell that Meadowbrook’s attitude toward her was half-hearted. Meadowbrook’s tone gives away that while maybe there was a hint of disdain towards Fluttershy. It was obvious she felt more betrayed by Starswirl and the silence of the others of the Pillars, plus, she knew now what kind of power and pleasurable feelings being a genie gives her. Almost like she understood why Catrina was so obsessed with her own power. If a bit worried that simply something brainwashing her into believing it.
Fluttershy would get her to understand that it’s ok to still feel a little upset with her. But also figures what Starswirl said to her was bothering her more than anything else. She helps Meadowbrook understand that Starswirl is wrong. Though it will take some time for him to figure that out, maybe not even up til’ he is genified himself one day. Fluttershy also assures that the good feelings Meadowbrook is feeling is no mind trick. As if it was, why would it let her even debate with herself about it. Helping Meadowbrook see that she still has her own free will. She thanks Fluttershy for making her realize that.
For now though, she wonders what she should do next. And Fluttershy actually gives her a suggestion: Go to Ponyville’s hospital. The pegasus genie knows some pony there that would really like to meet her, and would be more than happy to show her how healthcare has changed since her time. 
Fluttershy then tells Meadowbrook she has someone else she needs to cheer up, before politely leaving Meadowbrook on her own, The mage cheered up, and ready to spread this magic to modern experts of healthcare.
When Meadowbrook gets to the hospital, it’s deserted of patients and she sees what seems to be a nurse with a white coat and pink hair awfully puzzled about this. Holding a list of patients that needed urgent care that had reported that they’re feeling fine now. Better than ever actually. She sighs before sitting down on a waiting room chair. 
Meadowbrook soon approached the Nurse, the latter gasping as she sees what seems to be a splitting image of someone she’s idolized ever since she was a filly. She initially thinks Meadowbrook is just a cosplayer. But as they talk, the nurse quizzes the mare. She realizes that she’s living a dream. 
Mage Meadowbrook herself was in front of her, and the nurse could barely contain her excitement. She wonders why the mage isn’t in her more iconic dress, but just assumes the clothing change was perhaps some desert wear that Somnambula gave her. She introduces herself to the mage as Nurse Redheart and tells her how much her tales inspired her to get into healthcare.
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! 
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
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.
Besides, up until every pony is genified. There will still be a need to give them the treatment she got from Meadowbrook… including the rest of the hospital staff. Which makes Redheart excited, as she surely wants to share this with every pony else working at the hospital. They both immediately go into the halls and start genifying every staff member they see on sight. The commotion would even attract Starlight Glimmer who happened to be near the hospital shortly after her trip to the spa. She gives a wink and grin of approval to both Meadowbrook and the newly genified Nurse Redheart. Proud of them for turning an essential part of society into another factory for the gradual genification of Equestria. If there were any remaining staff members left to genify, Starlight even got in on the fun. Before she takes her lamp to the waiting room and decides to take a rest.

Some time passes after Fluttershy’s talk with Rarity, she looks to see Starlight for a 1-on-1 talk with her too before genifying more of her friends. It takes some time for her to find where the self-proclaimed leader of Geniequestria is. If Starlight were out and about. She figures wherever magic is being thrown about is where she’d be, but given everything was oddly quiet. It’s more likely that somewhere Starlight is in her lamp somewhere. That makes Fluttershy’s search hard as one small lamp, even one as obvious as Starlight’s in an entire town is not going to be easy. 
However, thanks to some genie ingenuity she eventually comes to a solution. She makes clones of herself to look all over the town and look in every nook and cranny for Starlight’s lamp. 
Eventually, one of her many selves finds Starlight’s lamp in the hospital’s waiting room. Once Fluttershy pulls all of her selves back into one single body, she realizes that Starlight must have went to see Meadowbrook while she was genifying ponies here, Fluttershy also assumes Starlight might have helped Meadowbrook get every pony, not just the doctors and nurses but the many patients here. Though once they were genies, they certainly wouldn’t be patients any more. Regardless of their affliction, genification solves every problem.
Fluttershy gently rubs the lamp, the dark purple lamp immediately shakes and seems to briefly turn an angry red that makes it expand with a quick FWOOOSH out of the spout. Starlight immediately taking shape out of the lamp with no fancy entrance aside from glowing white angry eyes as her voice echoes “WHO DARES DISTURB MY SLUMBER! YOU’RE JUST ASKING TO BE BOTTLED IF YOU”RE NOT ALRE-“
Tumblr media
“Ahem…” Fluttershy interrupts
“…Oh, it’s just you, Fluttershy” Starlight’s glowing eyes fade out back to normal as she calms down “You’re already a genie… so pardon me… for the outburst. Any pony who touches my lamp who’s not already a genie shall be genified on the spot though… but even with other genies I’m a bit averse to others touching it without my permission”
Fluttershy chuckles “Hehe, no worries. I understand. But… I wanted to urgently speak with you before I genified more ponies. I’ll at least tell you that I have gotten more than just Meadowbrook genified now, both my parents and my brother are now genies too”
Starlight raised an eyebrow. “…Well, I’m happy to hear you’ve genified more ponies. But I have a feeling that’s not the only reason you came to see me… I’m still trying to figure you out, Fluttershy… you genuinely want Geniequestria to come into fruition, but you’ve also proved more resistant to my requests then most of my genifications up to this point. So pardon me, if I’m a bit... suspicious of you still, as I remember when you were supposedly 'on my side' before…”
“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.”
Tumblr media
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.

Rarity walks on up to Fluttershy's cottage, she felt she was ready for that private talk that Fluttershy suggested they have together not long after Meadowbrook's genification. Rarity doesn't know what Fluttershy's been up to since she last helped return Golden Oaks to Twilight. Though she presumes at least a few more ponies have been genified by Fluttershy somewhere. Some of Fluttershy's animals are out and about as they happily greet Rarity's entrance into the cottage. Some of them lead Rarity to where she can find Fluttershy's vessel with her inside it.
The sight of the friendly animals eased some of her tension. She noted that they were still as happy as ever, even with Fluttershy's massive change. With a nervous gulp, followed by a few deep breaths. Rarity reaches out for Fluttershy's vessel. She calls out "Fluttershy? It's… it's me, darling. I wanted to have that chat you said we should have. Are you busy?"
A familiar little bunny rabbit pokes Rarity a few times on the lower end of her hooves. With some charades, Angel puts his paws on his ears to indicate Fluttershy can't hear her while still in her bottle.  Then he places the cut off end of a carrot on his head in an attempt to tell Rarity to use her horn to open it up.
Rarity's attention is grabbed by Angel's charades. She may not be able to understand him like Fluttershy does, but she gets the gist of his gestures. Some of the butterflies in her stomach swell once more at the prospect of opening the bottle. "Oh… so I have to open it myself, since she can't hear me..." She didn't know if Fluttershy would just genify her right there after she opened it, the thought sent a shiver down her spine. 
One she wasn't sure was a shiver of terror… or excitement. (“I won't get any answers by standing still…”) With her finally making up her mind, she first picks up the bottle with her magic, Choosing to observe it before releasing Fluttershy out.
Tumblr media
Rarity’s not exactly a fan of the equalist vibe she gets from the not-too-subtle equal sign on the neck of the bottle, but other then that she did kinda love the design of Fluttershy’s bottle. Briefly wondering if her’s will look just as great whe-.... If she were to end up being genified too
She shakes her head and focuses on having a very important talk with one of her best friends. She lifts the buttershy shaped topper off the bottle. A 'POP!' is heard when she removes it. She then set the vessel back down since she knew by now that genies liked to make an entrance, something she understands just as well. "Fluttershy? Can you hear me now? I'd like to talk"
The bottle quivers on the table, not quite as intensely as the first time Fluttershy was released into the world as a genie but enough to remind Rarity of the many fantastical emergences she’s seen. Just a few more anticipated seconds pass until...
FWOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSH
A plume of yellow smoke rises out of the vessel, as it above, the sounds of a relaxed sigh echo from her genified friend bounce many times through Rarity's ears. The sound reminds Rarity of how Fluttershy would feel after a well-pampered spa treatment. The magical light and effects show along with the echo only adds a thrill to it all, Rarity's heart beats faster as she watches her dear friend's re-emergence.
Soon the end of the smoke trail starts taking Fluttershy's shape as she floats above Rarity. Her hooves are just about asymmetric with each other as the frogs of her hooves are flat against the other. Her eyes are closed for a little while, before she opens up her eyes and looks down toward the clearly fascinated Rarity. 
She gives a gentle smirk, and slowly flies up closer so that their eyes are closer to even-leveled, though still tailed to her vessel behind her and floating above Rarity. 
(Oh Celestia… what is this feeling… why do I feel like I’m… so intimidated… no… it has to be something else… Fluttershy’s still my dear friend… maybe… I’m just too curious…)
"Greetings Rarity, I'm more than happy to start talking with you. I've been looking forward to this"
Rarity bites her lip, watching the display in front of her. She wants to show her excitement, the delight she gets from seeing this little performance fills her heart with desire to do it herself. Yet she still holds herself back, just enough for now to keep in check. Though she cannot hide how clearly interested she is. 
"I… I feel the same." She takes a deep breath to regain some composure. Giving herself some space as well, she's still not used to being on the back hoof especially with somepony like Fluttershy. "I know the others might not be as willing to talk, with everything that's happened we're all admittedly lost and confused… but I still want you to know, I believe in our friendship. Even if… we're currently at… opposing views..." She pauses for a moment, catching herself looking at Fluttershy's outfit, it's something that had fascinated her with all genies, so she was trying her best not to stare. But her mind kept racing with possibilities for what she could create with that look in mind.
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
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.
