Star was about to stop Accent until Max bumped passed her...followed closely by Beat. "ACCENT...WHAT ARE YOU DOING ?" Beat yelled, staring at the bottle...then at Accent. "You're not actually going to drink the whole thing are you ? Accent think about this...think long and hard. If you drink all of that I will go back to being a colt...and I love you...I love you so much, but you being a colt will change things, i'm not saying I would leave you...i'm saying we had great sex when you were a mare...and I am not really all that attracted to colts...well, I am now bu- That's not important...please think about this Accent..." She said, taking a few steps towards the...uh...colt.

Genes are interesting. Especially when magic weaves its way into it. It reshapes, a molds them into a new form. And even when they are put back, they are never put back quite the same way. Within the genetic code of a green Pegasus stallion, known as Max Allen, there was a magically created dragon gene. It was alone, all its brethren swept away. But it remained, and it integrated with the rest. It gave the pony an ability to command. To lead. It wasn't driven like the others, but it gave him draconic traits. One in particular was going to save Accent from her or himself. Max wasn't going to reach him in time. He was about to drink. To change forever. But that gene. It wasn't going to let it happen. It didn't believe that Beat was going to be enough. So it came to life, and gave Max a voice that many hear feared. Many more wouldn't challenge it. It was his dragon voice.

"ACCENT! I COMMAND YOU TO RELINQUSH THAT POTION IMMEDIATLY!!" Max bellowed. He didn't sound poisonous, but he sounded commanding, he sounded stern. He sounded demanding. He needed to learn. This was wrong. Max looked at Accent sharply, similar to the Wonderbolt Captain would glare at her teammates.

Accent took in those words of Beat's, thinking long and hard. And Max's yelling had not helped at all... However, his facial expression was drooping by the second. He put the top back on the potion, set it down gently, and once again about-faced to the other direction. 

 

"I need to be alone..."

 

That was all he said before hobbling away from the trio...

Accent's ears had picked up to the sound of Beat catching up to him, as his head turned. His tone was extremely icy, dark, and empty.

 

"I said I want to be alone. Leave."

 

At that point, he started to hobble away from Beat a bit faster, heading out to the pool. He seemed pissed, but it was something else...

@,

Max nodded, his facial expression softening. His draconic side was fading again.

"Interesting. It appears I still have a little dragon in me...That is going in the journal." He said with a grin.

"That will come in handy I feel. Maybe Lorcan will get injured and I can 1-up his angry healing." He mused the idea, then realized wishing harm on a pony was bad.

"So you are going to be a dragon for all day tomorrow, then some time the next day you will change back. And be hairless." He said, enjoying the hoof/hand/claw holding. Eventually they made it to Lorcans room, one of the few rooms Max didn't loot. He noticed as he looted a lack of any bits. Maybe Lorcan held them hear. That would make sense.

"Lorcan, are you in there? We need to speak with you." Max said with a knock. Then he added

"And don't be alarmed by Stars appearance that is part of the talk."

[Windy Scamper 403]

Scamps, overheard all of this. She was, for some reason, seriously considering kissing Accent. But, then again, Accent would hate her forever.

 

At first, Scamps had thought of that has disgusting and betrayong. Accent was her friend, and was a mare. And, she would technically be cheating on Nightfall. Sure, they weren't officially a "thing" yet, but they might as well be.

 

But now, she just stood there. She didn't know what to do. She took a few steps toward Accent. "Accent...please. Listen to Beat. If you drink all of that....he will change and you won't. Even if you left some for him, he...er, she...she can't do that to her fans. And neither can you."

 

She stepped back, knowing Accent didn't want her there in the first place.

 

"If you want to end this all, just know I'm here." She finished.

"No." She said, stubbornly. "I want to talk to you about it. You...really want to stay like this don't you. I want to make you happy Accent...so I want to figure this out."

[Nightfall 3,950]

Lorcan smiled as big as he ever did.

"R-Really? In that case lets do this right." He said as kneeled before her. 

"Solara, will you do me the honor of being my marrying me and being my wife?" Lorcan said, still smiling big.

I need to buy her the most expensive ring there is. He thought

 

She squeaked a little, went completely speechless, the practically jumped on Lorcan and hugged him, crying happy tears.

"Oh, yes! Yes!"

 

Scamps woke up from her nap...lr slumber, she didn't now how long, and let out a little sigh as she pressed her head into Nightfall's fur some more.

 

Nightfall....Why didn't I see this earlier.

 

Hello heart. This is brain. What are you doing here? Next thing you know, he'll accidentally fall of the balcony because of you.

 

She quickly bolted up. "Oh no." She murmured. "What am I doing? I'm getting too attached. I can' t do this..."

 

Hello brain. This is heart. I think you're being paranoid. So shut up.

 

When she bolted up,  Nightfall woke up.

"Hey... Is everything all right, Windy?"

He truly meant it, no matter how tired he looked.

[ActFast231 432]

@,

Max couldn't help but feel doubt. Deep in his draconic sense, he felt that Accent would still make a mistake. And so would Beat.

"Star." Max said solemnly.

"I...think I am going to have to make out with Beat." he shuddered at the thought, but took comfort that at least he would be in mare form. 

"Just another thing I am going to have to make up to you. Heh, at this rate, I may have to propose marriage to compensate." He said half jokingly, half serious. 

"_{Where the hell does one get a cutie mark earring on an island anyway?}" He mumbled to himself.

"Anyway, I must be off. Forgive me, my love, but this must be done." He exited in a dramatic fashion, forgetting that he just knocked on Lorcans door. Eventually he finds beat, talking to Accent. He looked...serious. His senses were telling him that he needed to act. Not just act, but act fast. (c wut I did dere)

"Beat!" He said, walking up to him.

"Beat, I am going to do something that will get my ass kicked. FORGIVE ME!!" He immediately pressed his lips to hers, eyes shut. Not in the sensual way, but in the way a foal squints them shut while having his teeth pulled.

"onemississipitwomississipithreemississipifourmississipifivemississipiandrelease" Max pulled away immediately, then turned his cheek, eyes still squinted shut, bracing for possible death.

Star watched him go. She was about to call him back...she didn't want to have to talk to Lorcan alone...but Max had already gone. She gulped and turned back to the door, hoping no pony would answer.

 

 

Beat tried to push Max away but it was too late. As Max broke the kiss she brought back her hoof and punch him in the side of the head...really really freaking hard.

All Accent did was just watch Beat be kissed by Max... That was it... No changing back. He hobbled out of the hallway, and went down to the pool, laying back in one of the pool chairs. He wasn't mad at them... But instead, unusually depressed. And it could possibly never happen...

[ActFast231 432]

@,

Stars. Everywhere. For about 6 seconds until the stallion came to and saw that he was on his knees, against the wall, immeasurable pain in his head. He noticed a small drip, and quickly confirmed that he was bleeding out of his head. Around the temple area. He chuckled, standing back up and looking at Beat, who was showing signs of reversal. If he hit that hard as a MARE, when he was a full STALLION, Max may die. He spoke in a voice deeper than his own. A voice he knew all too well.

"Is that the best you got? Come on Beat, my grandmother hits harder than that." Max was in a way, trying to help him release his anger so that he could move on. Or maybe he is stupid. Or maybe that gene is stronger than he thought. Max could fix that issue later, but he simply stood there, grinning at Beat as blood dripped down his face in a creepy way. Almost inviting him to take another swing.

"DID YOU EVER THINK THAT AFTER WHAT ACCENT DID I MAY WANT TO STAY THIS WAY ? BUCK YOU MAX." She yelled, holding back her hoof to hit him again...but she stopped and just turned around. "You're a bucking idiot." She said, walking down the hall towards her room.

((Can we say it didn't work...like, the kiss actually has to be passionate or something ?))

@,

(OOOHHHH YOU GAVE ME AN IDEA!)

Max walked away, feeling numb to the pain, but he would certainly feel it in the morning. His dragon sense was still telling him that Beat and Accent would...but no I kissed him for the 5 seconds. Unless...Unless it didn't work. But how can it not? He reverted back to normal. He was his old self again, minus the...dragon...gene. He was still transformed. Not completely but it was there. He hadn't squashed the dragon genes completely. But why? He felt plenty of love. He would happily spend his life with Star. So why hasn't it gone? He flipped through his notes, making sure blood didn't drip on it.

"Why didn't it work? I fought it off with positive emotions. Star fought it off with positive emotions. Why? What is the damn problem here? It just got me a concussion for nothing. He still hasn't changed. What the buck is wrong!?!"

He came across his notes on dragons. It appears that when a dragon mates, it forms a permanent connection to the partner. In dragon culture, mating is the same as a wedding. So by dragon laws they were married. But that was irrelevant, this is Equestria, not Draconia. There are magical elements as well. Apparently this bond is magic. The two dragons nervous systems are linked. So when one is sick the other feels it. They may not get sick as well, but they will feel something. When one is hurt, the other feels it. Again, very weakly. Max thought about that.

"Buck did Star just feel Beat...well, beat my head in? Buck"

Interestingly enough, they form strong empathy towards each other. Maybe that's why Max was brought to tears. Maybe this connection is why he couldn't attack her...Maybe her being a dragon is what is keeping Max in a sub-dragon form. So he would only change back completely when she did. So he is still in danger of losing it. He sighed at this revelation as he made his way back to Lorcans room, standing next to Star. Maybe he could run the clock? No, that is too risky. He needed to find a way to turn her back.

"So, that went badly. Didn't even work." He grumbled.

Star figured that Lorcan was busy. She was about to go find Max when she felt a sudden pain in her cheek.
She put a claw to it and gasped slightly...but it was gone. She frowned and was about to walk back down the hall until she noticed Max coming back her way. "What happened ? Oh my goodness are you okay Max ?" She asked, noticing his bloody nose.

 

 

 

Beat walked in and slammed the door. She walked over to her bed and climbed on, falling face first into the pillows as she began to cry...again...she had no idea why but she was full of so many emotions and she hated it.

@,

"I am fine. But it looks like I am still not reverted back. Not genetically anyway." Max went on to explain his discoveries, showing Star the section that described all this.  He paused here and there, as the dragon laws were blush worthy. He felt that something needed to be done. He couldn't just sit here and do nothing and risk another episode. If it gets bad enough, he theorized, he could turn back into a dragon. A much, MUCH, MUCH, MUCH bigger dragon. And if that happened...It would take a lot to get him back.

"...don't turn back I could end up reverting to dragon form. A full sized dragon form." He concluded, red in the face for more than one reason.

"So...anypony got any ideas? If love changed me back-more or less-what would change you back? More love? Something else?" Max hadn't the faintest idea of where to start. This was going to be a doozy.

Star frowned. "I...I don't know. I also don't like this. I don't want to see you like that again." She said, pulling Max into a tight hug...a little too tight...she wasn't used to her new strength. She let go and shuffled her feet. "I really don't know what to do Max...but I am also REALLY REALLY hungry...so can we pleaaase go get something to eat and talk about it over dinner ?" She asked.

@,

Man nodded assuming that dragons must work up an appetite rather fast. He was pretty hungry himself. He brings them to the kitchen, and starts examining the now restocked fridge.

"Wait, is that...steak? Why the hell does Lorcan have steak?" Max only knew what steak was because of the griffins he went to school with. It disturbed him how they could eat that stuff, but he never bothered them. Max also saw chicken. He tried chicken once. He was pressured in by a kid and he ended up eating an entire chick breast. He nearly puked. He pulled out some leftover haycakes and started heating them up.
